Wireless Printing

Ever wish you had more than one printer in your home — one for every computer so you never have to go far to print? Say you want to print a Google Map from the living room, or your son wants to print his school report from his bedroom. Taking each computer into the den simply to print something is inconvenient, and buying a printer for every room is expensive.

A printer in every room. Virtually.

With wireless printing through AirPort Express, it’s almost like having a printer in every room of the house. AirPort Express uses the Mac- and PC-compatible Bonjour networking technology to let everyone in the house take advantage of one centrally available printer. Wirelessly, of course.1

Good to print.

Here’s how simple it is to set up: Just plug the printer into the USB port on the AirPort Express Base Station, add it to the printer list on your Mac or PC, and you’re good to print — without a single cable tethering anyone’s computer to the printer.

If all you want to do is access your USB printer wirelessly, you don’t even need a broadband Internet connection. You can just set up your AirPort Express for wireless printing and that’s it.

  1. Wireless printing over USB requires a compatible printer and Mac OS X v10.2.7 or later or Windows XP or Windows Vista.
