Hi folks, My setup:
Computer 1: PPC G5 running Leopard with an Epson Stylus CX4450 printer. Computer 2: B&W G4 running Tiger Airport Extreme Base Station: Brother Laser printer connected to it via USB Network: I was "updated" by my ISP with their latest DSL modem recently. Now their version of a DSL modem is not just a modem but also a 4 port wireless router (I disabled the wireless feature). I also have an Airport Extreme base station because the previous modem I had only had 1 port. I wanted to keep using the Airport base station because I can connect our laser printer to it via USB. So I connected the Airport station to the new DSL modem/router. Everything works just fine. I have 2 other computers (aside from the G5) connected to the Airport and all 3 can print to the laser printer. My problem: Since the Airport only has 3 ports and all are being used, the B&W was left out of the party. I decided to connect the B&W to the DSL modem/router (it had 3 other ports available). The B&W has full internet access BUT it can not print to the laser printer. I also wanted to print to the G5 which is sharing it's Epson Stylus printer. The other 2 computers connected to Airport can print to the Epson BUT again the B&W can not. So, to sum it all up: Airport Base Station connected to DSL modem/router. G5 along with 2 other computers connected to Airport Base Station. B&W connected to DSL modem/router. Laser printer connected to Airport via USB. Epson Stylus connected to G5 and is set to "share". None of the computers are wireless. Is there a way for the B&W to printer to the Airport Base Station and/or print to the G5?
