Hi guys,

Long time viewer, first time poster.
Here is my situation.

I have a wireless internet connection that lands on a wireless router. My Windows 7 machine and my partners Macbook gets this internet wirelessly too.

This router has 2 USB ports on the side, and I have a HP Deskjet F2180 printer plugged into USB 1. This windows 7 machine can print via the router no worries, but the MAC cannot see the printer at all.
I have tried both the IPP settings, and the LPD settings but neither work. 1 hangs on 'Copying print data' and the other is constantly 'Paused'

Is there something else that I am missing?

Help would be great as the Macbook machine is owned by a teacher, and being able to print would help massively :)

Thanks in advance.
