Adding a WPS Printer to Your Password-Protected Network

If your network is password-protected using WPA Personal or WPA/WPA2 Personal, you can add a WPS-compatible printer to your network without requiring the network password.

When you allow a printer to access your network, the printer’s name and wireless MAC address are stored in the access control list of AirPort Utility until you remove it from the list.

To add a WPS printer:

1Open AirPort Utility on your Mac, select your AirPort Extreme, and then click Edit. Enter the password if necessary.

2Choose Add WPS Printer from the Base Station menu.

3Specify how you want the printer to access the network:

ÂÂ Select PIN to enter the eight-digit number provided by the printer.

ÂÂ Select “First attempt” to allow network access to the printer joining the network.

Once the printer is connected to the network, use Print & Scan preferences to choose it. See the documentation that came with your printer for more information.

If you want to remove the printer, click Network in AirPort Utility, click Timed Access Control, select the printer, and then click Delete (–).
