Printer question
 
I have just jumped ship - to Mac. I have recently purchased an iMac ( OS X Snow Leopard operating system). Are there any tech guy's out there who could advise me if it is possible to make my Canon Pro-9000 printer work wireless (i don't think it is a wireless printer) form my Mac. Previously i simply took my laptop to the small room where the printer is and connected them with the usb cable. My Mac is set - up in another room 18 mtr's away. Cheer's guy's

You could try bluetooth, but the range will probably not be enough, but then you would not need the wireless router.

Thanks for that mate. I had phoned canon's tech line and they were no help at all i'd have been better off asking my nan and saved myself a phone call.
