    Have you installed the presto program on your PC and that it is allowed through any firewalls you may have installed on your PC.
    Science isn't exact, it's only confidence within limits.
  • Yes the windows one don't know if I have anymore
  • What about network proxy what should be in there or doesn't that matter
  • I've downloaded the app bonjour browser on my iPad and it's there under iPp but nothing comes up when I go to print

  • No luck think it's a firewall issue

    What security software are you using ? Does it come with it's own firewall ?
