Hi there.

I have a Lexmark Inkjet Z55 printer plugged into my Airport Extreme (via a hub)

Both my MacBook and MacBook Pro notice the printer in the printer browser and I can add the printer but only my MacBook can print from it.

When I try and print from my MacBook Pro the only message I ever see is the message "Looking for Printer 'Lexmark Z55'"

Can anyone help me debug this issue?

Maybe it needs drivers?

I checked the Lexmark site for drivers for my printer but the drivers were last updated in 2003.

I did however figure out the issue. I did not notice that although a document on my MacBook had printed 15 minutes ago it still showed up as "Printing" all I had to do was click the delete button and my MacBook Pro's documents started printing. Silly me.

Now all I have to do is try and get it to print with a Windows machine and I am all set (I am a little to lazy to even try at the moment :) ).
