How can I reverse the order of printing pages?..I have a Cannon and MAC

When you click print, and IF a Print Window opens, then it should allow you to click a button on that window to change the Print Properties. There should be a choice for "reverse order" and you just need to unclick that choice.

How do I hook my canon 480 printer directly to my wireless router to make it a network printer so both of our laptops can print. 1 mac & 1 pc ???

First, plug your printer into your router and turn on both the router and the printer. Second, on your mac open System Preferences>Print and Fax>click the plus sign below the list of printers, you will be guided through the process to set up your network printer. Now to set up a printer on Windows XP click here, Windows Vista click here. Windows 7 and vista are pretty much the same set up.

I can't install the cd rom on my computer i have a macproduct is pixma mp480

I don't know if I understood your problem correctly: you have a Canon Pixma MP480 and you want to install it in a computer with MAC OS and the CD that came with the printer is for Windows systems?

CANON has drivers and software available for your printer and MAC OS X. You can dowload them from PIXMA MP480 Photo All-In-One-Printer support homepage .

On that page, clickon the "Drivers & Downloads" tab and then select your operating system to get a list of compatible drivers, sofware and manuals.
Download the printer and scanner drivers compatible with your system, from "Drivers" section and select and download the software you need from the 'Software section".
For help and troubleshooting installation issues, click on 'Support & Service".
If I misunderstood your post and you have a different problem, please comment and I will try to help more.
