I have a MacG5 that is connected to a Linksys router with an ethernet cable. I also have a PC desktop and a PC laptop connected to the same router, but they are connected wirelessly. Additionally I have a Linksys print server wirelessly connected to the same router. This wireless print server is usb connected to an HP 2015dn laser printer. I can print from the PC desktop and the PC laptop to the HP printer through the print server with no problems. I can print to the HP printer if I carry it next to my Mac G5 and connect it using the usb, but I can not print to it going through the Linksys wireless router. My first question is: should I be able to print since I am connected to the wireless router with an ethernet cable and the rest of the computers are connected wirelessly? I don't think that this should make a difference, but maybe I am wrong. Secondly, I know the ISP 192.xxx.x.xx connection numbers for the printer and I think that I have them added properly, but in my printer setup when I click 'print' on an item, it tells me that the printer is busy and will retry in 10 seconds, but the printer is not printing anything. Any suggestions?? Thanks
