Hi all,

I have been having issues with printing from my airport extreme base station. When I first got the BS I had an older HP DeskJet (and 840C I believe) connected to it. This was not long after the Airport Extreme first came out and printing worked well. I believe the first firmware update that I did began the problems I have. There has since been another firmware update and I have changed printers to a new HP DeskJet 5150. The problem is this...

If the Airport Extreme Base Station has recently been restarted printing will work fine. But at some point nothing will print. On OS X the print center just sits there looping in the dock but the printer never prints anything. I have to kill the job and restart the airport to get printing going again. This is fairly annoying. I have considered going back to the 5.04 firmware since I do believe it is the newer firmware that has caused this issue. All the machines are running 10.2.6 with all the latest software updates.

Has anyone else experienced this? And if so what have you done to solve it, if anything?

thanks,
stephan
