    Printer works hardwire but not wireless

    The home network has a Savin 3515 on it. The Mac will print via wireless. Win 7 uses to print wirelessly but not now. I can’t even ping the printer. If I plug in the network cable the print works flawlessly. What am I missing? Thank you

    Best Intel platfom for Win7

    I know less about amd than intel. If I use Newegg DIY list, on the lower priced combo I see no difference except in warranties. I use the systems longer than most people. The more economical the system is, the shorter it's useful life. I need 3 systems that will work past Win7 sp2.

    SUPER SUPER HOT!!!! Norton Anti-virus 2007 LOOK!

    Some of the rebate cards can't be split with other cards. Some of the cards will no let you zero the balance. Granted this could be the system I'm working on but it's not fun looking at a person when to tell there card is useless.

    From a retail view. These rebate cards are a scam. I have never seen anyone use the hole card. So if you are lucky you get about 98% of the rebate.
