A friend of mine was sold a Mac Airport Basestation in hopes of being able to connect her EPSON Stylus RX620 to her network wirelessly.

Anyone familar with the Airport basestation that could shine some light on this situation would be great!

Heres the setup:
PC1 -- Gateway running windows XP home
PC2 -- Sony Viao running Windows Media Center
Printer -- Epson Stylus rx620 (USB connection)
Airport wireless basestation with usb printing support (has one usb port supposedly able to make your usb printer wireless)
Internet -- Sprint DSL

PC1 is connected to the Airport via the LAN port
PC2 connects wirelessly to the Airport
Printer connects to the Airport via USB

I can access the internet from both PC's yet niether one can "see" the printer or each other.

Is the wireless printing feature something specific to MAC's?

I did notice the Box said to use the printing support you had to have OS/X V 10.2.7 or later -- but the sales guy told my friend she would be okay (she pointed out the exact laptop she had to the sales associate as she bought the laptop at the same place she got the Airport basestation, COMPUSA)

If what I am asking is not possible please let me know so I can have my friend take the Airport back and get her $200 back.


The airport is setup to use one IP
(10.0.1.1) and DHCP/NAT.

Thanks in advanced
