1 of 5a lot of trouble Friday, March 13, 2009 A Customer from CA
I purchased this to try to save a buck and not buy a wireless printer. Installation was easy enough. However, I installed this on my main pc and laptop, as well as my Mac. and this is where the trouble began.
You need to switch the icon on the computer you are printing from and then it is "supposed" to print. I didn't. In fact, my main pc will not print now. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the print driver, and even uninstalled the switch. It will not work.
It would print from the mac, like it was supposed to. I tried to just use it on the pc hardware and it still would not work. At least I can still print from the mac and the pc laptop. I am sending it back!
