Program to Print Wirelessly on AirPort Extreme
What program do I need to download and install in order to print wirelessly with my PC laptop. I have my MacBook Pro connected to my AirPort Extreme router and can print wirelessly, but my PC laptop is unable to do this. My printer is attached via USB to my AirPort Extreme router.
I think I've heard of a program called Bonjour. Is that the right one? My PC laptop has Windows XP, service pack 3. Would it be the same program for Windows 7? Thanks. I'd like to get my PC to print wirelessly over the router.
Thanks again.

Printing wireless using airport extreme
can printers that support 802.11b/g work wirelessly with airport extreme?
The experience I have had with wireless printing is very easy! Pretty much connect the printer to the AirPort and add it to your computer via "Print and Fax"!

How can I fax using my rendezvous printer, wirelessly via Airport Extreme?
I am trying to fax a files from my G4 PowerBook, using my printer, which is setup as a rendezvous printer, via my Airport Extreme Base Station. However, I can't get the fax program to find the printer, when it scans. It only allows me to use the Internal Modem or Bluetooth. How can I send a file to the printer and then use the printer to fax?
Thanks. WadeGot it - the problem is setting up and or using the modem inside the printer. The Canon website specs for that printer does say OS X compatible, but if Canon support is telling you it won't work I imagine that part of the driver that runs the dialog box and dialer isn't implemented in the Mac version. Just guessing here.
They cost $49 but you could get this USB modem from Apple and fax directly from your Mac without printing but that would be a shame having another modem in your printer.

I guess you could ask Canon if that's the reason it won't work, and if so when they plan to update the Mac driver to use the modem. You might get an unsatisfactory answer, though! -
I have an older printer and currently use a Cisco wireless router with Network Magic software which allows me to leave my 30 pin printer connected to the desktop computer and share the printer with everything on the network. Does the Airport Extreme allow for this? I am just connecting one that I purchased but can only find documentation on connecting the printer via USB (which my old printer does not have). The printer is late 90's vintage, but its comercial grade and is still one of the best printers I have used so I want to keep it going for now.
I don't really know much about anything BUT with that said, I have PCs, I have an old commerical work horse HP laser printer that works with the Airport Express as a print server through my wireless router. But having problems with my wireless router, never my AE, now how to change from WEP to WPA etc.for a new wireless router. Maybe I need to look into the Extreme. Good luck

Printing wirelessly with Airport Extreme
Hi, I have an Airport Extreme (not newest model) that I used to use with a PC and I could print wirelessly. Although one day it just stopped and I was never able to fix it. I've since given up on PC's and bought a new MacBook Pro (yea!). Unfortunately, I'm still having problems printing wirelessly. Its prints fine when connected. Can someone tell me how to first see if the laptop can "see" the the printer over the network and secondly how to fix it so that I can print wirelessly? Thanks.
Printer is: HP Photosmart 8150 and I'm using the latest drivers.The setup manual for the AirPort Extreme suggests.....
Connect the printer to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme and make sure that everything is powered up
On your Mac...
Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
Open Print & Fax
Click the small + button at the bottom of the printer list to add the new AirPort Extreme location
Hopefully, your printer will appear in the next window. If not, it may not likely be supported.
If yes, click the name of the printer to highlight it
Click Add at the lower right
Try to print.
Remember to choose the correct printer location in the print dialog box as you now have the printer installed in two different locations....one at your Mac and the other at the AirPort Extreme. -
printer not recognised. Printer wirelessly connected to airport extreme. iPad will not find printer
Thank you so much Paul_31 for your suggestions, HUGELY appreciate the effort
I have reset the printing system, a few times for good measure but nadda.
I have also looked at getting the software from the Apple site after seeing that with Snow Leopard you should let the operating system lead the install not the manufacteurers software as it is most likely out of date. I too found it wasn't there so I uninstalled the software got up the CLX_3300 series stuff then went from there with the USB cable. It apparently hasn't worked either
Unfortunately now after using the print utility to scan for a while that has now gone again on the last restart of the Mac. I am so completely clueless
The box says the printer is compatible, the place of purchase said it was compatible, the Samsung site says it is compatible.
I think it's the set up of my Mac? Our maybe a glitch in the network settings?
Thanks again -
Printing wirelessly using airport extreme base station
I recently set up a wireless network at my house using an airport extreme base station. I plugged my usb printer into the base station and, according to the manual, I can print wirelessly. However, when I go to print, after following the manual instructions, it just times out. Any ideas?
There is already a thread (or two) on the PSC 1410:

Can't print wirelessly via Airport Extreme if VPN active
I've had this same print problem with an Airport Express. Never did get a solution. I have an HP printer connected to my Airport Extreme. No problems printing from my Macbook Pro or my work PC laptop until the Cisco VPN client on my work machine is active. Then the laptop cannot see the printer. Obviously, the VPN client is affecting the Airport Extreme setup. Does anyone know of a solution? Thanks in advance.
Most VPNs, offer two types of tunnelling modes: 1) Full tunnel, and 2) Split/Local Access Tunnel. With the former, all network traffic originating from the VPN client will travel through the VPN tunnel to the network that the network that is on the "other side" of the tunnel. Resources on the local network, like your printer are not "seen." In the latter, traffic can either travel to the remote network or to resources on the local networkt.
The key is to configure your Cisco VPN client to establish that later type of VPN connection, assuming that your company allows it. They may not as it poses a security issue. -
Hey Guys!
I just got my AirPort Extreme Base, but I can't use my HP Deskjet F4580 wireless printer with it.
The printer is not connected to the AirPort Extreme's USB port. It is placed in another room, and I'd like to use it (the printer) wirelessly (not connected to the USB port os the AirPort Extreme), as I used to. There is no place for the printer close the AirPort Extreme. It worked just fine with my previous wireless router (Linksys WRT54G). I'm very disappointed with the AirPort Extreme Base Station because of that!...
Can you help me? Please?!
Thanks Folks!This must be a tough one, no suggestions at all.

Windows, Mac Non-wireless Mac, Airport Extreme and Printer
I bought a Canon Pixma MP500 printer at the Tice's Corner Apple Store. We wanted to put this in the back of our Airport Extreme and did so. Here is our hook up:
eMac Airport Extreme Cablevision Cable Modem
Printer
The eMac goes through the ethernet input, and the other ethernet input goes to the cable modem. We have a printer in the back hooked up as well. This Airport Extreme provides wireless security and working WiFi internet to the eMac, a wireless iBook G4 and a wireless HP-Compaq NC6220 Windows XP computer. We have the macs hooked up to printing correctly, just not the HP-Compaq. Thus it is wireless nad connects to our internet interface fine (yes, the wireless switch is on), it is a company computer with a VPN and firewall (that allows for printer installation). Note that the HP-Compaq nc6220 uses Intel ProSet Wireless as its wireless client. I tried installing Bonjour for Windows and the steps in the article in the link: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107998and it did not work. Therefore, I cannot wirelessly print on all 3 computers. The main problem is the HP-Compaq. I am out of things to try.
If anyone has any advice, I would apreciate them to post back. Check back soon,
thatthaneguy
HP-Compaq nc6220 Windows XP Windows XP ProfessionalIf the PC is connected to the work VPN then it is part of the work network and can no longer access local resources on your network such as a printer.
If the VPN is not operating then try these guides.

Will a wireless printer work with airport extreme?
Will a wireless printer work with airport extreme? Such as an HP Photosmart D110.
Yes, it will as long as it is within wifi signal range of the Extreme. Of course, you'll need to go through the printer setup sequence. NOTE: The D110 is not AIRPRINT compatible, so it will not print from ios operating systems that are installed in mobile devices such as iphones, ipads, ipods. However, there are Apps that are available for non airprint printers, but their quality and effectiveness are questionable.

I have an HP 4500 printer connected to airport extreme with usb. All our portable notebooks print via air but cannot get iPad to be recognized for printing. Do I really have to have one of the other HPs listed?
Rufus Cat-
Even if it was compatible, AirPrint does not work through a USB link, only Ethernet or WiFi.
I do not see your HP 4500 listed on Apple's list of AirPrint compatible printers. <iOS: AirPrint 101> Therefore you need to take another approach. To start, I suggest you download the free HP App, ePrint Home & Biz. It has limitations, but should get you printing with your existing setup.
There are other printing Apps with more features such as Print n Share and PrintCentral, but they can only be accessed from within other Apps that have the "Open In" option.
Your best option may be to share your computer's printer as AirPrint over WiFi. Programs that are reported to do that well are Printopia and FingerPrint. Your computer must be on and awake any time you want to print. <Printopia for Macintosh> <FingerPrint for PC and Mac>

I am trying to set up using my printer wirelessly through airport. I have a macbook and my husband can print wirelessly from his Macbook Pro but I can't. What do I have to do to set mine up? The printer is an Epson R2400
Is there a cd that came with the printer?
If so, put in the cd and that will help you set it up.
If not, I think macs come with a program that helps you set up printers.
Also make sure that the printer is connected to the same network.
Make sure the printer is on. -
I can't print wirelessly using Airport Express. I have my HP printer connected to a USB hub, and the hub to the Airport Express, but when I select the HP from the printer list, my MacBook says the printer is "off-line" - even when it is not. I've tried several USB connectors, and several different ports on my USB hub; same result. I need to have the HP connected to the hub 'cause from there it's connected to our desktop Mac.
Hi,
I am currently replying to this as it shows in the iChat Community.
I have asked the Hosts to move it to Snow Leopard (you should not lose contact with it through any email links you get)
I also don't do Wirelss printing so I can't actaully help either.
