Unless I have misunderstood what you're saying, either everything on your network is exposed to the pub, including your Time Capsule and your Macs in which case having the the printer exposed to the pub is the least of your worries, or you have nothing to worry about.

Whats to worry about? Unless you know the SSID and the password, you not getting anywhere near it. My point being that it doesnt matter if the printer is USB, I can still get to it via the TC, -- Gavin. ACSP 10.5 http://www.stoof.co.uk http://www.twitter.com/gavin_wilby

I'd still prefer to have a proper networked printer though, as Ian suggested. Daniele

That's well handy, a new slant on working from home :-)

Really, really check the price of consumables over time intend to keep it. In my 9-5 these stack up a bit quicker, but it paid to buy the Xerox was based 8560/8650 (never remember which way round it is) which was �600 over the cheap HPs/Brothers at �250, and the difference was paid for in about 6 months with the cheaper consumables. We've got some low use HP2600Ns which I seem to have to send carts out to every other month, and the Xerox needs a set every 6 months. Don't forget to note some of these printers needs toners & drums, as well as other bits & bobs that run out at other intervals. Also note a lot of these printers when new come with half life carts, the Xerox came with full life carts. -- Jon B Above email address IS valid. <http://www.bramley-computers.co.uk/> Apple Laptop Repairs. |
