is not supported by the router...
If you use Windows XP, you can print to a USB printer connected to an AirPort
Extreme Base Station. Just follow these steps:
1. Click
Start and point to
Printer and Faxes.
2. Click
Add Printer, follow the onscreen instructions.
3. Select
"Local printer attached to this computer."
4. Deselect
"Automatically detect and install my plug and play printer."
5. In
the "Select the Printer Port" screen, click "Create a new
port."
6. Select
Standard TCP/IP Port from the pop-up menu.
7. Click
Next, and follow the onscreen instructions for the Add Standard TCP/IP
Printer Port Wizard.
8. In
the Printer Name or IP Address field, enter 10.0.1.1. "IP_10.0.1.1"
is generated as the port name.
Note: If you are using an alternate IP address range, then you need
to enter the IP address that AirPort Admin Utility displays for the base
station when connected to it
wirelessly.
9. Select
Standard for Device Type, and choose your printer from the list.
