MacBook Pro with Time Capsule can not see Samsung CLX 3175FW wireless printer on Bonjour

bonjourmacbook

I have a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6 and another MacBook Pro running OS X 10.5. Neither see my Samsung printer when I click on Bonjour. Needless to say neither will print. I have a Time Capsule connected wirelessly to my MacBook Pros.

I have tried reinstalling drivers for the printer but nothing seems to work.

I tried this approach because when Apple replaced my Time Capsule and I went to print the way I had initially been running printing requests would get hung up.

Any suggestions would be helpful?

Use the AirPort Utility to open the Time Capsule's configuration and see the list associated wireless clients and their DHCP leases (these lists are under "Advanced"). Make sure the printer shows up as associated, and has a DHCP lease (unless you know you gave it a static IP address manually). Try pinging it by IP address to make sure you can reach it over the network.

Is there any chance you're using a different wireless network name (SSID), security type (WEP vs. WPA vs. WPA2), or different password than you were using with the previous Time Capsule? If so, did you reconfigure your printer for the new wireless environment?
