| Place Printer on Linksys-g router or AEBS?
I have a linksys-g wrv54G router with four ether net ports on the back. and an Airport extreme base station with three extra ethernet ports. I can use one ethernet port on each to connect the two routers. Is there any advantage or disadvantage to connecting my HP printer to one router vs. the other? I communicate wirelessly from my MAC OS X to the AEBS and most of the time communicate from my laptop PC to the linksys-g router - usually wired but sometime wireless. I have a new Canon printer which i will hook up later. In playing around I noticed the Mac can easily see an print when the printer is connected to the AEBS. But The PC can not see the printer on either router - so I am in the middle of fixing the linksys-g router as a minimum. |

Well first the PC will have to have Bonjour for Windows and have the PC connected to the AEBS (because it will have to be on the same subnet as the AEBS to print to it).
