USB Printing over Airport Extreme + Express

By Craig Blanchette posted on April 16th, 2009

I found this and it works for me:

1. Open print/fax pref in System Prefs
2. Go to + (add printer)
3. Go to IP and drag down to HP Jetdirect.
4. Open Airport Utility and click on express to get IP address (mine was 192.168.10.20) I set the Express to Manual IP outside the DHCP Range.
5. Type this IP in “Address” back in Fax/print.
6. Change the “Name” to whatever you want (for example Samsung ML).
7. Print Driver to use is ML-2010 (look in M’s), not any Samsung listed driver (in the S’s).
8. Restart Airport and the Printer is suggested but mine worked without ding this.
(.You will have to go to all the computers and delete the old printer and re add using the above instructions.
