Just a reminder on how to print to a Canon Pro9000 via an Airport Extreme or a Time Capsule. This is actually tricky. You have to download the generic Canon IJ Printer (http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=182&modelid=12892#DownloadDetailAct) This has pretty tight requirements: * Mac OS X v10.5.3* Latest version of Airport firmware* Pro9000osxcp10120ej7.dmg which is the 10.1.2.0 version driver.
