Airport Extreme Printing Issue

jtwrace · « **on:** 14 Nov 2010, 04:56 pm »

Can I connect a wireless printer to the Airport Extreme and print? My new wireless printer can see the Extreme but it will not print.

Any ideas? After two hours I'm out of them.

The short answer is yes. You'll need to load the appropriate print drivers on each computer.

Well that stinks...so when a guest comes over and wants to print they will have to install a driver? Nope. Not here. darn it!

Has nothing to do with the Extreme. Just like a wired printer, you'd need to install drivers on any computer attached to it.

OK. I got it working a different way....what a PIA.

Um. How can you print to any printer without the appropriate driver? Maybe it was supposed to work that way with Postscript but I haven't seen one of those (Postscript printer) in a while

I love the ability to print from the Airport Extreme. My photo printer is connected to it. Laser printer is a network printer anyway (since those cost next to nothing)...
