I want to have two HP 2300 printers on my network. The network has the main airport express and then another for bridged for range extension.



I have one HP hooked up to the main express.....the other hooked up to the bridged one.



I add a printer (name it something) via rendezvous....no prob....

I add the 2nd printer (name it something different)....no prob



I try to print....always prints to the first one (no matter which is selected as default). I am guessing I need to rename the printer itself but have had no luck finding info on how to do it.



Any ideas would be appreciated.....thanks! What am I missing here?

    Not sure if that's pssible... You would basicly have to do what your saying which is somehow identify one from the other on the network. Unless one of them had its own wireless card or something then I don't know. I had a similar problem so I went out and and purchased a wireless jetdirect 380x for the one unit, and all works well now. That way I can simply assing an IP to the one printer and thats it. Easy for the network to identify it now. If your not into wireless maybe look into a hard wired one or something.
