Network looks like this:
Cable Modem
|
V
Linksys Router (RT31P2)
| |
V V
Mac Pro Airport Express
|
V
laptops (wireless)
I have an HP printer that I want to share with the Mac Pro and the laptops.
Try 1: Connecting printer to Airport Express via USB
Result: laptops can print via bonjour, mac pro cant see printer
Try 2: Connecting printer to Mac Pro via USB and enabling Printer Sharing
Result: mac pro can print, laptops can't see printer
Apple Tech Support suggested setting up a DMZ on my wireless router which will open up the mac pro to the world (if I understood correctly) and thus enable it to see the printer when plugged into the Airport? This sounds terribly insecure, and I think there's gotta be a better way.
Mac Pro has no wireless card.
Any advise?
