I have an Airport Extreme Router with my back up hard drive connected to it via USB. All of the iMacs connected to it can access the hard drive no problem.
I have just purchased a Lexmark 5400 which I am also trying to connect to the USB hub. I installed the drivers but the printer is invisible. I followed the instructions in the setup guide to add the new printer and I was to choose Bonjour from the pop up menu. There was no Bonjour available.
I have connected the printer directly to the computer and it set up without a problem. I tried a manual setup on the Airport Extreme and it does not recognize there is a usb printer connected to the router.
If I connect the usb cable directly into the router so it is the only usb device connected it is still not recognizing the printer. I have used two different usb printer cables. I have also tried connecting a different printer.
I checked out the info page for the router and there is provision for multiple printers and hard drives to be connected at the same time.
I am a real newbie at Macs. I am still trying to figure out how to navigate around in it.
