Print to an unsupported USB printer on Airport Extreme
Authored by: isolpj on Nov 12, '03 12:11:28PM

I have followed these directions, but still cannot print to my printer. I have an Airport extreme base station and an HP Deskjet 870Cxi. I have downloaded and installed the ghostcript and HPijs files. I was able to successfully add the printer as suggested, however every time I print to it, I receive retry errors... it keeps retrying to print forever. I am on Panther. Can anyone help?

Print to an unsupported USB printer on Airport Extreme
Authored by: NatChilds on Jan 05, '04 01:08:50PM

I have exactly the same problem with my Epson 2200. Setup as instructed, GhostScript and Gimp print installed, Airport version of the printer driver installed and listed in the Print list, printer works fine connected directly--but endless retries when printing through the Airport Extreme base. Have you solved your problem? And if so, how? (I've a 17" Powerbook running OS 10.2.8 talking through the Airport to a toshiba laptop that's connected to the internet via a Direcway satelite link.)

Thanks!
