I am trying to add a printer that is connected to my airport extreme base station. the wizard can see the printer, but when I try to add it it tells me

"An error occurred while trying to add the selected printers. Error -1"

This happens in both admin and root account.
This happens with the printer connected locally, or on the base station.

I'm having this same problem. Any idea of what could be wrong or how to fix it? Strange thing is that it works on my 17" PB, but won't work on the my 15" PB.

I just reinstalled the 10.3.7 Combo Update, repaired permissions, and deleted the com.apple. printer related preferences.

No luck.

Any help would be appreciated.
