Our Airport Express block is plugged into the office ethernet network. The airport laptops get a good signal and can see each other and the server (also wireless), however while the network connection allows them to browse the intenet (so they must be "seeing" the network router/modem they cannot pick up th eoffice colour laser.

Any ideas. Have switched appletalk on in sysprefs.

Thanks

Make sure the APX is set to not distribute IPs.

I have no answer for you, Andrew. Instead, I'm going to piggy-back my question/problem on your thread.

I'm using an APX to share an Epson 740 printer and to provide wireless networking to a laptop. The wireless networking works fine as does AirTunes. However, while all computers (two desktops and a wireless laptop) can see the printer, they can't print to it. A print job will start but will immediately stop without any sort of error.

Any ideas?

P.S. the APX is not distributing IPs.
