The approach I use is my non-wireless printer is attached to an Airport Express via a USB cable and the AE is configured to "Join a wireless network" which of course is my local LAN. As a convenience for identification the AE is named for the printer attached to it. Thanks to Bonjour the AE appears by name on the network. I don't care what the IP address is and I do not need to know what it is. I have complete access and control of the printer using the Bonjour.


If we knew what it was we were doing, it wouldn't be called research, would it?
