Hi,

My Epson is connected to an Airport Extreme and printing was just fine thru wired and wireless connections prior to the upgrade to 10.5. After upgrading my laptop to 10.5 (and 10.5.1), I'm having print jobs hang yet the other two computers still running 10.4.11 continue to print just fine.

The print job will actually start and print maybe two lines then it hangs. If I direct connect the printer to the laptop printing is just fine. So this leads me to think something is amiss with the Airport. The drivers have been updated on the laptop and the printer is Leopard compatible.

Any thoughts on what I can look for to fix this? Kind of defeats the purpose of having a wireless printer if I have to direct connect it.

The AirPort Extreme Base Station is the 802.11g model with modem and antenna port. I have the latest AirPort Extreme Base Station with Gigabit Ethernet (802.11n) but don't have it hooked up yet. Don't know if the newer model will solve my printing problem or not.

Thanks,
Todd
