Networked printer question

[David Hacker]

Are you able to access the internet wirelessly from linux now?  That is  
the first step to be able to connect to the base station.
Try using a samba browser.  The airport extreme base station is  
compatible with windows computers, and samba is the linux equivalent to  
access windows shares and printers.  I had a regular airport base   
station and a printer connected to my iMac and shared.  I was able to  
access it from my iBook in linux as a windows printer in cups.  That is  
where I would start.
