    AirPort Network Designs

 

You can connect a USB printer to your base station, so that anyone on the network 
using Mac OS X v10.2.3 or later can print to that printer.

Connect the printer to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme Base Station.

On the client computers, open Printer Setup Utility (located in Applications/Utilities) 
and select the printer from the list. If the printer is not in the list, click Add and then 
choose Rendezvous from the pop-up menu, then select the printer from the list.

If you are using Power over Ethernet and the base station receives power and a 
network connection over the WAN port, the USB port is disabled. You can’t use a USB 
printer if your base station is powered over Ethernet. See the documentation that came 
with your base station.

You can change the name of the printer from the default name to one you choose.

Open AirPort Admin Utility, select your base station, and click Configure.

Click Base Station Options and then click USB Printer.

Double-click the name of your printer and then enter a new name.

Solving Problems

If you have trouble connecting to the Internet with any AirPort network design, try 
the following:

Make sure the base station is connected to the Internet. The computers on your 
AirPort network cannot connect to the Internet if your base station is not connected 
to the Internet.

Check your Internet connection using your computer. If you can’t connect with your 
computer, the problem may be with your Internet connection.

Check the active network ports by choosing Active Network Ports from the Show 
pop-up menu in the Network pane of System Preferences. Make sure the ports you 
want to use are selected.
