Airport extreme is connected to Linksys router supplied by Vonage. Flat panel imac is connected to Airport extreme. I used to be able to print (printer is connected to imac through USB hub) from my powerbook using airport. Printer shows up in print center on both imac and powerbook. Print jobs start (messager says connected to imac.local) but the job never prints. I tried restarting the base station but no good. I can transfer files (that part puzzles me) but can't print. What gives???

Have you done anything to verify that the printer is not at fault? I'd turn it off and let it sit for several minutes, then turn it back on and try again. Sometimes a printserver gets jammed or confused, and "rebooting" the printer is the only way to get it going.

When setting up the page, did you scroll down the menu to the Rondezous option?

Printing is no problem from the imac. I tried rebooting but still can't print through airport.

I have no idea what you mean. Can you be a little more specific?? Where exactly is the Rendevous option and how should it be set?
Thanks.
