New Bootcamp user--can I print wirelessly using my airport?

Hello, new friends.

Amazingly, Bootcamp finally worked and I have an active Windows xp program on my new MacBook Pro.

I can't figure out how to get it to recognize the Brother MFC 7220 printer that is on our airport network--any suggestions?

ps--now do I need antivirus software for the Windows operating system?

Thanks!

Newbie

Yes, you do. Get one for free from Avast or AVG and make sure that you have your firewall and the built in Windows Defender software running (you get this with Vista and XP SP3).

Firewall

Hey, thanks, Viro.

I installed an inexpensive McAfee download--I'm running XP with SP2--do you think I need a separate firewall, and if so is there some freeware out there?

I still find it scary just to have Microsoft inside my laptop...

Thanks again. BPrice
