Hi

Try this one

http://www.networkmagic.com/download/

there is a Mac version under available beta test
see link on right

the windows version has been a help to many

so you may get lucky with it

if you need both make sure you put the
correct download in correct machine

it has a click icon for adding printers

cheers for now

Keith D.

Do you have these turned on in Network and Sharing Center (in Control
Panel):

Network discovery
Printer sharing

If not, give that a try.

Thanks,
Gloria

Those functions are enabled. These types of things are why I switched to a Mac.
