Samsung SCX 4500 and Airport Express incompatibility?

Hi,

I have bought the Samsung SCX 4500 printer two days ago...
Since then I tried out to get the printer working properly with my Airport Express.
Before I had a Canon IP 5300 and everything worked out great - no problems with printing.
But so far I have only made the SCX 4500 print once with the Airport Express and this
was right after I connected it via Bonjour to my Airport Express Printer Sharing...
Afterwards the printer refused to print anything more.
A scanner is part of the multifunction printer as well - the scanning is only support if you connect the printer via usb cable to the computer.
But at least this fairly "handsome" printer should print wirelessly...
If you have any suggestions how I can solve the problem, let me know...

Cheers, Felix

Here's what you do -

(Before following the directions below make sure you have removed the Samsung printer from the Print & Fax section of System Preferences and reboot your computer - then proceed with the following)

1. Using a Cat-5 cable, turn your printer on and plug your Samsung directly into your router;

2. Hold down the Stop/Clear button on the printer down for 5 seconds or untill two 00 (zeros) show up on the information bar on the top of the printer;

3. Read the "Configuration report and note the IP Address given;

4. Open your web browser and type in the printer's IP Address you wrote down;

5. When the SyncThru Web Service page comes up click on the "Network Settings" tab across the top menu bar;

6. Click on the TCP/IP tab on the left side under the "General" tab;

7. Change the "IP Address Assignment Method" from DCHP †o STATIC;

8. Hit the "APPLY" button on the bottom and exit from your browser;

9. Open Print & Fax under System Preferences and hit the " + " button to install a new printer;

10. Install the Samsung and you should be good to go
