Using a Time Capsule in Your Network
If you’re using a Time Capsule and a computer with Mac OS X Leopard (v10.5.2 or later),
you can use Time Machine to automatically back up all of the computers on the
network that are using Leopard. Other Mac computers and Windows computers can
access the Time Capsule’s internal AirPort disk to back up, store, and share files.
And because every Time Capsule is also a full-featured 802.11n base station, you can set
up your Time Capsule to share an Internet connection with computers on the AirPort
network it creates.
For information about using your Time Capsule with Time Machine in Mac OS X
Leopard, search for “Time Capsule” in Mac Help.
Connecting a USB Printer to an Apple Wireless Device
You can connect a compatible USB printer to your Apple wireless device (an AirPort
Extreme Base Station, AirPort Express, or Time Capsule), so that anyone on the network
using Mac OS X v10.2.3 or later, Windows XP with Service Pack 2, or Windows Vista can
print to that printer.
To use a printer on your network:
1 Connect the printer to the USB port on the Apple wireless device.
2 Set up the client computers:
 On a computer using Mac OS X v10.5 or later, open System Preferences and click
Print & Fax. Select the printer from the Printers list. If the printer isn’t in the list, click
Add (+) at the bottom of the list, locate the printer, and then click Add.
 On a computer using Mac OS X v10.2.3 or later, open Printer Setup Utility located in
the Utilities folder in the Applications folder, and then select the printer from the list.
If the printer is not in the list, click Add, choose Bonjour from the pop-up menu, and
then select the printer from the list.
