How do I set up AirPrint on the airport express

I want to print from our iPads to local printers attached via USB to local airport express'. These are NOT AirPrint enabled printers. I expect the airport express can provide that function? The printers show up in the airport express menus and can be printed to using Macs on the network.

When I press the "find printers" on the iPad print menu, no printers are found.



Thanks for any help

I am trying to print to Canon MG3520 connected by USB on Airport Express. I don't see the printer listed when both the Printer and Apple device (iphone or ipad) are on the same Wifi-Network. I have the printer connected via WPS to Airport Express. I see it listed in the list of Supported Airprint devices for Airport Express. Anything else that I am missing to get it working?

You cannot have the printer connected to USB and wireless at the same time.


If you want AirPrint to work, then the printer cannot be connected to the USB port on the AirPort Express. The printer must be connected via wireless to the AirPort Express.
