So, I've tried running the enormous HP photosmart C4500 software bundle/set up CD on my mac to get it going, but to no avail without a USB connection.
Even when I try to manually install the printer via adding an IP printer with the printers IP address typed in, it still wont find it with Airport turned on. When I go to safari and type in the printers IP address, nothing appears, where as in my PC, the printers home page comes up right away, and I managed to manually set up the IP printer in my PC no problem.
I prefer ultimately to manually set up the printer as an IP printer, but wonder if there is a way to also set it up manually as a wireless scanner as well. If not, I'll just have to use the HP software to operate the scanner/printer. I was trying to avoid having all that extra software installed on my computer.
I also have a belkin router 54g I could use, anyone have any tips?
thanks
