Connecting to a Printer

When you connect a USB or FireWire printer, your computer can usually detect it and then adds it to the list of available printers. You may need to set up a printer connected to a network before you can print to it. Follow the instructions that came with the printer to install any required software and connect the printer to your computer.

Note: If you have AirPort Extreme wireless technology in your Mac mini and you have an AirPort Extreme Base Station or AirPort Express, you can connect a USB printer to the base station (instead of connecting it to your computer) and print wirelessly.
