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?
Thanks in advance!
Make sure you have "Assign IP Addresses" off in the Airport.
