<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Understood and thanks for your input on this matter as well. I am currently still having 'problems' with the BRN-295CN fax ability and yes it does show up upon entering 'http://localhost:631/printers' among my home network which is 'Cups' based at this time. You are correct Ryan because in order to setup a Windows based printer one must install software on the computer in order for it to talk with the router or perhaps ad-hoc in order for the wireless enabled printer to work'. <br><br>Windows 7 was an example because me being a 'noob maybe very slow also' I attached a friends wireless printer to their home router on a Windows 7 computer recently and it was mind you difficult a bit. <br><br>Are static ip addresses important when setting up a printer which is unattached physically from a print server 'the printer is alone in a room with no cords or cables except for the ac current'? <br><br>So many questions.<br><br>Thank you for your time.<br><br><br><br><div><hr id="stopSpelling">From: ryanjcole@me.com<br>Date: Sat, 1 Mar 2014 20:43:43 -0600<br>To: tclug-list@mn-linux.org<br>Subject: Re: [tclug-list] A question about printing'<br><br>If it supports the correct protocols for Linux printing, yes.
