Re: HD - USB / Firewire - Printers XP Mac

[Chris Hunter <cjhunter@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks ... looking through the Apple Discussions, problems with
printers on OSX -Xp set-ups seems to be a recurring theme ... help
seems to come from Bonjour & problems seem to come from PC firewalls
& PC application conflicts ... otherwise very little to go on ... not
much help I know, and a nightmare !   Coincidentally I'm having
problems with Mac Help just now - window opens almost blank & only
looks OK when  a new window is opened, but remains unresponsive -
hyperlinks don't work & searching takes forever with no result ... I
seem to recall it worked OK yesterday ... have tried reloading Tiger
but no change ... 'Mac is OK in all other regards ... grrrh !
