OK. At home I always unhook from the mac to get to the printer and then rehook up when I bring it back to the room. But when I take it places, I always plug it in while it' already in the Mac. I had no idea. I will change that from now on.

For lack of a better word, it's "gentler" than plugging into your Mac first, and then the wall. [/quote]
