Wow the Geek Squad and Best Buy must think we are all dumb

I saw a commercial today on television about how the Geek Squad and Best Buy can help you remotely fix things on your computer. When did it become so hard to add a printer to your computer? I don’t know what’s more insulting that a modern couple couldn’t figure it themselves or that it’s magic. I could understand if they needed to setup a server or configure a network with twenty devices on it. Fail! The ad doesn’t work.

Well I have an advantage, I have a Mac and Apple makes it pretty easy with a service called Bonjour when you add a printer to your network it’s immediately recognized by your Mac. The printer drivers are installed as part of the Mac operating system and your Mac should be able to detect that it’s the correct model. It’s pretty darn simple.

If you still can’t get it to work Apple has a great support page. If you still need help just contact me directly.
