Is anyone printing wirelessly using a Linksys print server and router rather than an Airport Extreme Base Station?
My Mac is able to get online but I haven't been able to get my printer to print wirelessly from my Mac.
Are there any settings I have to manually enter to allow it to find the print server?

The print server is a standard, Unix-type print server. You identify it by its IP address. The trick is to give it the name of your spool file so that Mac OS knows how to feed the bits to the printer.
Usually you set this sort of thing up as if it's a brand new printer, rather than a different port the printer's plugged into, so when you go through those steps, you should be prompted for the spool name.

Right, and remember that you won't be able to use AppleTalk. Try IP printing.

My IP address for wireless printing in Windows is 192.168.1.5
The IP address for getting online for both Windows and Mac is 192.168.1.1
Cam I leave that setting alone on My Mac, or do I have to change it to the IP address that ends in .5.
If I have to manually change it where would I do it?

You do not change the IP of your computer, but instead you need to specify the IP address of your print server when re-adding the printer in Print Center.

I don't get it, my printer is a Canon i950.
I downloaded the drivers from Canons web site,after I go into Print Center and click add printer.
A window drops down that says IP printer with a space to add the IP address and something called a queue #. There is a list of Printer companys to select from but Canon is not there! Epson, HP, Apple and Xerox are but why isn't Canon?
I click other and the finder window opens and I type in Canon i950.
The Canon i950 package comes up, ehwn I click on it the IP address appears in the print list instead of Canon i950.
Please tell me what I'm doing wrong.
