I have a computer (10.2) on a network hooked up to an AEBS. How do I print to the printer hooked up to the AEBS? (deskjet 5550)
Thanks in advance

Install your printer drivers and turn on Printer Sharing in the Sharing pane of your System Preferences. Locate your printer in the Print Center utility. That should be it.

I don't know if AE works the same way, but I share a printer off of my powerbook, and my ibook auto-detects my epson automatically. I did not have to do any extra work to add it. I noticed this under Jaguar.

Okay...... Mabye a little confusion here. What I was saying is: Is there a way to access a supported printer on the USB port of the AEBS via the WAN port?

Is there a reason you are not using the LAN port? That port should be able to do it.

We are running the other comps off of WAN because we have an existing network.

Our configuration is:

Cable to switch
switch to iMac and AEBS via wan
AEBS wireless to iBook
AEBS lan to XP
AEBS Usb to HP DJ 5550.

Whew! Now, my question is, how do I print from the iMac to the printer on the AEBS?

Try turning off the NAT routing function on the base station. See if that works.

Also, turn off DHCP. With those two off, it should work. Theoretically....
