    I have a Printer, 2 Macbook Pros, and 4 Vista PCs connected to an Airport Extreme. The 2 Macs see the printer just fine. But I couldn't get the Vista machines to see the printer, does anybody have any ideas? this is really frustrating!

    Thanks!

    So the printer is hooked to the router? I'm assuming you can get on the internet from the PCs.
