my airport problem--at least I think it's airport related--is our HP 7280 wireless all in one printer frequently refuses to print documents I send it wirelessly, via airport, from my G5. Often I have to unplug and then reconnect the power cord at the printer (a fix listed in the HP 7280 trouble shooting guide) to get it to print. More recently, the little light on top of the airport that is supposed to be green when it's working properly has remained orange--but the airport's wireless network seems to be working okay, other than the recurring printer problems. The light stays orange even if I push the little reset button on the airport. Does the orange light mean the airport is about to die or that there is some sort of wireless interference? As always, I will appreciate any suggestions from the list--thanks--Ben Zion Hershberg On Feb 13, 2009, at 10:54 AM, Bill Rising wrote:
