leopard doesn't print in airport Express

[tommibarda]

Hi all.

I have a mac book pro with MacOSX 10.5.1, leopard and my problem il regarding a printing issue.
this is the situation:

-I have a R360 Epson printer attached to my air port express but it prints only when it's connected directly to the USB in the Mac.

-Leopard sees the printer trough the Airport correctly. through the airport setup program I can configure and see the printer with zero problems.

-the airport actually joins an existing network in my house, that is a wireless router NETGEAR. I set it up through the wizard and it worked perfectly; I didn't received any error messages, and I should add that I can use the remote speakers with I tunes perfectly.

-I made two printer queques - one when the printer is via USB, one via wireless link. the first works perfectly the second not:
.. I receive a "comunication error" when I try to print from every program (aperture, preview, safari, camino... all of them) wirelessly!
.. I get a 1008 error message if I try to use the epson utility to manage prints (<- this actually happened both via usb an WIFI)


ok this is all I guess.
I didn't put any IP adress number or any specification because I work with computer assistance from quite a long time and everything else is working perfectly, so I assume that that part is configured correctly; but ask me everything you want to know and I'll tell you in no time. I'd like to fix this problem because is driving me crazy.
-oh yes! one thing. With both tiger and panther it was working as lightining

ovviously I checked also the Espon site for updates on drivers, known issues etc etc but no results.

please tell me something... even if it's "sorry is a known bug - no solutino right now"
thanks in advance

Greetings.

So far, I too have had no luck printing wirelessly on OS X 10.5.2, Airport Express, and an Epson Sylus Photo R200 printer. It appears on the network, but when it comes time to print a communication error is generated. Airtunes and the wireless Internet are working, but the printer is a no go on Airport Express.

I checked the plugs, looked at the Apple support page on Airport Express Network printing troubleshooting and no luck on all possibilities to fix so far. I had even updated and checked for the latest drivers. The printer works when connected directly to the laptop Powerbook G4, but without luck when it is on the network.

I have already spent a couple of hours on it and am frustrated. I want to print wirelessly. I am so glad to know I'm not the only one and it may not be me, but a software related fix possibly or something else.

I have the same problem, with a Samsung Laser printer, OS X 10.5.2. An Intel MacBookPro, prints fine through USB, Configures fine through Airport Express. I installed an Airport Extreme at the same time that I upgraded to 10.5, and updated the airport firmware at the same time. When I try to print, I get a message in the print manager that says the printer is busy. The printer worked fine before the upgrade, but now doesn't work via airport extreme. I'm going to continue playing with it to see if I can find anything that works, but I suspect a firmware problem.

From what I see here, it smells like a Leopard / Airport Extreme issue.
