Recently switched to a new TC 2TB, and the printer does seem to be available when printing wireless from devices. Also, macbook air's will not backup using TM.
Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks

Did you switch from a Gen4 TC to a Gen5?
Wireless can be problematic if you didn't use compatible names.
You need to tell us a bit more.. but reset the printer and use WPS from the airport utility.
Yes it is gen5, all other wireless router/extenders are Apple products. Printer is HP 5530 Envy. I did not change anything in my setup when switching to new TC, and all wifi working throughout the house.
Did you power everything off and on again.. in the right order.. restart modem.. then TC then all the wireless extenders.. then clients like printer.
Check that the printer actually received an IP from the TC.. most printers will how it on LCD display or print out the test page.
Ping the printer IP from the computer.. does that work?? If it fails you cannot print nor will the printer show up so start again.
Do the printer setup via the WPS again.. it must get an IP and must be pingable..
It could fail to work once the system has been up for an hour due to lousy DNS discovery in later Mac OS.
Delete the printer in the computer and rediscover it..
Tell me the full setup.. is the TC working as main router for the network or is it bridged?
