Print to an unsupported USB printer on Airport Extreme (won't work)
Authored by: cagnol on Mar 24, '04 05:33:44PM

I am trying to print on Samsung ML-1210 printer plugged in the USB port of the Aiport extreme station.

I followed the instructions provided here, however documents won't print, instead the status window says "will retry in 10 seconds" then "will retry in 15 seconds" then "will retry in 30 seconds" and stays likes this.

Did anyone have this problem before?

Thanks,
John.

Print to an unsupported USB printer on Airport Extreme (won't work)

I am running MacOS X 10.3.6 with Airport Extreme Base Station software V5.5 and was also receiving the "will retry in 30 seconds" messages.

In my case this was due to the wrong port being used. If you use the "Network Utility" in the Utilities directory you can do a port scan on the Airport Extreme to find the correct port:

Open Port: 9101 bacula-dir

For whatever reason, my usb port is 9101 instead of 9100. Once I re-setup the printer with this port, everything work great.
