Hi all -
Looking for a means to connect a Canon USB printer to the LAN Ethernet port on a Dual Ethernet Airport Base Station, so as to be able to access the printer via Airport on a MBP.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Your post doesn't make any sense.
Does your Canon printer have an ethernet port? Or do you want to connect your Canon printer to the Airport Base Station via USB?

Unfortunately the Canon IP600D is USB only and the base station is ethernet only. I know they are two completely different interfaces, but I'm hoping there's a way to kludge the two together so wireless printing can be accomplished from the Macbook.
Thanks for the reply and hope this clarifies things a bit.

Oh. You're completely out of luck. Buy an ethernet-enabled printer or a print server.

USB wired printservers are out there, and not terribly expensive. Start searching for the term "USB printserver" and see what Google gives you.
Oh, and this is a Networking issue, so I'm moving it there.

Thanks for the help.
Looking for a compatable server now, and will post the results as it seems these things are a bit finicky.
Cheers
