thanks for the advice...i should have posted this earlier...i got the HP c4480 printer as a Christmas gift and thought I was going to exchange it (and pay the $50 difference)for the HP c4580 because the 4580 had wireless networking capabilities. However, after reading the many negative reviews on the 4580 and saw the print serve option, i decided against it. now after reading what you wrote, i regret it....maybe I can get Best Buy to still exchange my printer.....
