If I am correct, I believe that you must have Jaguar 10.2.5 in order to
use the Airport print system. If you are trying to do usb sharing
through the airport network, you may also have to have OS X, or at least
have rendezvous capability. If you don't need this, then my next guess
would be that you must have appletalk on or some form or method of
accessing the printer.
