Set Up a Shared Printer

With a base station set up to handle local computers and hooked into

the Internet, your next step may be to attach a printer to the base

station so that it can be shared among all the local computers. In this

chapter, I explain how to set up a base station for an attached printer

using either a USB or a wireless connection, and how

Add a Shared

Printer in Mac OS X and Add a Shared Printer in Windows.

Add a Printer with USB

Plug the printer into the base station (any AirPort model) or a USB

hub (Extreme, Time Capsule). You should not need to reboot your

base station for it to recognize the printer.

The AirPort Extreme and the Time Capsule each have a lone USB

port that can connect to either a single printer or a single

hard drive.

Add a USB hub, and you can connect one or more printers and drives

in any combination. (For maximum reliability and performance,

I recommend a Hi-Speed powered hub with external AC power.) The

AirPort Express is designed to connect to only a single USB printer,

but not to an attached hard drive nor a hub.

Add a Wi-Fi Printer Using WPS

An option added in a base station firmware update in 2013 makes

it easier to add Wi-Fi–enabled printers that support Wi-Fi Protected

Setup (WPS) to an AirPort network. WPS lets a device join a network

securely once you tell the base station that the device wants to connect.

Before starting, check whether your printer has a PIN (this will be in

the manual) or if it can connect automatically to any base

station in

range that offers a connection.
