Bloody Apple!!

I know this is something that was bound to happen but I have found something that didn't just work with the Mac! Printing. With every windows machine I have connected to my home network they have detected the network printer - the iMac didn't. I suspect this has something to do with the network software being Windows based rather than Apple's, which I believe is Bonjour, however you would think that Apple would be aware of this and come up with some simple solution. However this wasn't the case and so I had to find the IP address of the printer from looking at the settings only old windows laptop. As soon as I entered this into the Apple system bingo the iMac saw the printer.

A bit annoying but it refreshing to see that perhaps everything in the Apple garden is not all perfect - in fact I quite like that.
