I'm trying to check the settings on my AirPort Extreme but the AirPort Utility doesn't find the AirPort, nor does it find my printer that's AirPrint capable. Any help would be appreciated.

Is everything else okay with your network? Do you happen to have an old copy of the Airport Utility (the current version is 6.3.2)?

I do (5.5.2) but when I click update it says there's a newer version (5.6.1) and then it says my SW is up to date. I don't have any idea what that's about or what to do. Thanks.

What OS X are you running - from this Apple Support Article, system requirements state that @ least 10.7.5 is needed. Dave :)

Thanks for the tips, seems to be working now that I've updated AirPort Utility. I had 2 instances of it and was running off the older version.
