Remember that base station printer sharing is for printing only The USB port is for connecting a printer, not for other devices. Some all-in-ones are not compatible with the Airport base station and therefore no functions will be available.Īlso you can not connect an USB scanner to the USB port of an Airport base station either. You will not be able to use the scanning functionality unless the all-in-one is connected directly to the computer. It is not possible to use the scanning function of any all-in-one printer connected to the USB port of an Airport base station - and this limitation applies to all makes and models of all-in-one printers. If you connect an all-in-one printer/scanner/fax/copier type device to the USB port of an Airport base station, you will only be able to use the printing functionality of the all-in-one from a computer.
