So, in a few days time, im getting a Brother DCP-770CW Wireless printer, and as far as I can see, it uses mdns (Bonjour?).
My question is: How in the world can the printer be seen by Leopard - I know it's via Bonjour, but how can "Print & Fax" see the printer and connect to it?
(Yes, I'm only used to using a USB cable to connect a printer)

The printer says "hey I'm here" and OS X displays it as an option.

So, there's no need to search for the printer at all?
As far as I can understand, the printer is set up to pair via an wireless connection (Infrastructure mode) with my router. And then the priter sends a signal via the router for Bonjour to pick up?
Did I understand that correctly?

In most cases, you don't even have to configure anything, the printer just shows up as one of the printers in the print dialog -- if a driver has been installed.
