I have a mid 2011 iMac and a iPad2 that I wish to use the wireless feature of my airport express unit.

I have followed the instructions, and the iMac seems to know that it should be printing to the HP officejet 4500, but the office jet doesn't seem to be getting the information from the Airport express unit. The HP USB cable is plugged into the airport express unit. The rest of the functions to the wireless unit are OK.

I am using SL 10.6.8. I had a similar problem before with my macbook pro and an older HP printer, and I finally gave up and just plugged it into my MBP. But my wife now wants to be able to print using her iPad, so I have some more urgency to try to solve it.

What have I failed to do?

Thanks in advance.
