I can't print over wifi from non Apple devices. Namely, Dell computer and hp computer. Checked IP address on file for HP printer and it matches on computer. Any ideas. Did not have this problem with previous linksys router.

Did you just replace your Linksys router with an Apple AirPort Base Station?


Since a router comprises the heart of a network, replacing it often requires reconfiguring each of its clients. Most likely, you will need to research the documentation for your Dell and HP computers to determine how to do that.


Apple uses Bonjour for local device discovery. Non-Apple devices generally don't use Bonjour. One possible solution that may work for you is to download Apple's Bonjour for Windows:


Bonjour Print Services for Windows v2.0.2


If not, contact HP and / or Dell for assistance.
