airport express + printing help plz

goalie204 · 04-04-2009, 11:58 AM

I got an airport express, because I want to be able to move my printer into the other room, and print wirelessly through it, without having to have the printer plugged directly into the computer with the usb cable. It is not a network printer, usb only. I have tried setting the airport express up AS my router, i've connected it to my existing network, and i've tried even just using it as a print server, and i can't get it working. I can ping the airport express, but tried to print through both my computers, and it acts as tho the printer cannot be found, even tho it's on, and plugged into the airport express with the usb cable. Anyone have experience with this? because I'm about to smash some stuff with hammers.

its a kodak easyshare printer, and i just found a thread on apple.com that says it just straight up doesnt work with this printer.

now i'm raged because i have an awesome printer that i have to run a long usb cable to use if i want to have my computer in one room and the printer in another.

Anyone have experience with this?
