Print to an Airport Extreme USB printer from WinXP
Authored by: grilla on Jul 29, '06 03:03:02PM

If ur having trouble. Try this modification to the original instructions:

1. Make sure the printer is recognized by the base station.
2. Select 'Add a new printer' in Windows
3. Select 'Local Printer' in the dialog box (auto detect and install should be off), click next.
4. Choose 'Create a new port' and "Standard TCP/IP Port'. Click next.
5. For the printer IP address, enter the address of the base station ie. 10.0.1.1. The port name will be filled automatically. Click next.

Here is where things needed to change...
6. Click the "Custom" radio button
7. Click the "Settings" radio button
8. Change the port from 9100 to 9101
9. click Ok to close the custom dialog box
10. click next to begin the process of selecting your printer
11. Choose your printer from the list and follow the rest of the prompts to install and configure the driver.

This worked like a charm for me with XP and a Samsung Laser ML-2010 on my AE.

Seems as if the port was the issue and changing it from 9100 to 9101 fixed everything.

Good luck!
