Print to an unsupported USB printer on Airport Extreme
Authored by: bobbyhustle on Jan 04, '05 10:53:02PM
Had the "retrying in XX seconds" problem mentioned by others. As noted above, the problem seems to be with the port; in my case, a port scan of the Airport Express revealed that no printing port was open. (The only open ports were 5000, 5009, and 10000.) I finally found Apple's new (6.1.1) firmware for the AX and installed it. This took care of the problem - port 9100 is now open; it's listed as hp-pdl-datastr.

The details of setting up an HP LaserJet 5L, using a Belkin serial-to-USB cable, can be found here.

Print to an unsupported USB printer on Airport Extreme
Authored by: Jeffery on Jan 08, '05 01:23:33AM

Anyone have luck with an HP G85 officejet & Airport Express? I am also having trouble getting the port 9100 to show up in the network scan. I have updated to 6.1.1 hoping this would help, but no luck.

any help or suggestions appreciated
