Your Printer Isn’t Responding
If you connected a printer to the USB port on AirPort Extreme and the computers on
the AirPort network can’t print, try doing the following:
1 Make sure the printer is plugged in and turned on.
2 Make sure the cables are securely connected to the printer and to the AirPort Extreme
USB port.
3 Make sure the printer is selected in the Printer List window on client computers. On a
Macintosh using Mac OS X v10.2.7 or later:
 Open Printer Setup Utility, located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder.
 If the printer is not in the list, click Add.
 Choose Bonjour from the pop-up menu.
 Select the printer and click Add.
To select your printer on a computer using Windows XP:
 Open “Printers and Faxes” from the Start menu.
 Select the printer. If the printer is not in the list, click Add Printer and then follow the
onscreen instructions.
