When I switched over from XP, I was disappointed with the compatibility of the Mac and my D-Link print server. My Mac could see the print server, but not the printer attached. Thus I was stuck with the generic Gutenprint driver. It worked, but I couldn't adjust any print settings, print in draft, print in greyscale, etc. It sucked! I finally gave up and went back to the USB cable so I could use a proper print driver.
From reading the forums, I understand that others had this same experience.
I just got my Time Capsule, and I'm happy to say that the USB Print Server feature works well. It allows me to use the proper HP driver, and I can now print wirelessly using all the same options I have when plugged in via USB. I assume the same would be true using AirPort Extreme.
