express! (part 2)
¶ by Rob FrieselBrief follow-up to one of my own self’s articles… My rambling/musing on Apple’s new Airport Express…
So one of the salient features that stuck out to me about the Airport Express was the fact that it could pull double duty as a wi-fi enabled print server. I was stoked about that. It’s whole host of other neat features (all in one convenient tiny package) are very sweet and add to its profile but the mixed-OS network we have at home has made the printing situation difficult-at-best. So I was b’gocked by this.
Then I got to thinking… Doesn’t the Airport Extreme base station offer this feature anyway? So I look it up… And sure enough: USB port on the base station. Right there on the feature set: “…share a single USB printer connected to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme Base Station.” (Oh.) Well then…
