It took several attempts (I think the set up process kept dropping its wireless signal), but we finally got the thing set up. Our printer network is as follows:
- Desktop Windows Vista: USB
- Macbook OS X Snow Leopard: Wireless
- Macbook OS X Leopard: Wireless
It's all set up and good to go. All machines print to it flawlessly. I went...wow....the better part of a year without being able to print at home. My SO could print from her Macbook, but the old Lexmark pretty much bricked on my other two machines. It was getting old.
This is my first laser printer at home. It's actually like a mini version of the one I had at the old office. The main difference is output speed and capacity. This Brother HL-2170W was $169 and is actually more than enough for what I'll use it for.
