If only I could figure out how to get my MacBook, which is set up for wireless internet access at home, to print wirelessly to the printer downstairs. As it is, if I want to print something, I have to leave the comfort of my couch and carry Scooby all the way downstairs to plug in and print.
This isn’t a big deal. It really isn’t. But my office has gotten messier and messier since I spend so little time in it and so, last night, when I went downstairs to print something there was little desk space for which to place Scooby while I printed off driving directions.
Being impatient and none-to-bright, I set my laptop, my beloved laptop, precariously on the edge of the desk while I turned on the printer — only to watch in horrified silence as Scooby fell from the desk toward the floor.
The good news is that my MacBook’s fall was softened by the presence of my foot. The bad news is that I’ve got a painful bruise on the top of my foot that is going to make shoe-wearing less than comfortable today.
I really need to call Apple and figure out the wireless printing and clean off some desk space. Maybe with my bruise as a reminder I'll actually get to one of those in the near future.

You need a Network Print Server, but they run probably around $50. Don't know if going up and down stairs is worth that or not. That's up to you.
There might be another option, but I don't know two things:
- Do you still have the iMac downstairs?
- Do you know if Mac's allow printer sharing over a network?
If you do, and they do, then you should be able to use your iMac as a printer server and print through it over the network. You would have to leave the iMac on at all times though.
