I advised a couple to migrate from PC to Mac. Here is the set up I recommended:
New macbook.
New Time Capsule - 1TB - set up as router, storage and print server.
Existing XP-Pro PC and HP7500 printer.
Everything set up fine, except the macbook has never been able to print to printer. PC was completely functional with TC within 10 minutes. While troubleshooting the mac, the PC seemed to go hot and cold.
Now, two weeks later and many nights up - macbook still can't print or scan or fax. PC sees the TC storage 80% of the time. PC can see server but not the drives. PC can't print at all. Router connection from PC to internet is intermittent (connection manager keeps popping up attempting to "dial up"), but connection returns on browser refresh of page.
Not sure what would be more satisfying: full refund or a creative means of crushing TC. Top of the list is determining how many stacked cinder blocks does it take for the TC to crumple.
