Not long ago I posted a query but did not get any reaction. Probably wrongly worded. So I will refraze:
Setup: DSL modem > Wan port of Airbase Extreme > LAN to ethernet hub connecting to the cabled homenet. The Airport Extreme has a UBS Printer outlet. Connecting my Canon i550 BJ printer works smoothly and the machine is shared in the network.
So I tried to connect the Canon 500F scanner through the intermediary of a USB hub with the printer to the printer outlet of the base station. No response. How can I connect the scanner permanently to my network.
My computer is a 17" PB elevated to desktop status bij a Griifin iCurve assisted by a wireless keyboard and Pro mouse but on the move as well so I would not like to use its USB port for the scanner.
You can't. The airport USB is a print server only. There are two ways to do what you want. One is to connect the scanner to another computer and share it that way. This is dependent on the scanner software having a sharing feature. Keyspan has a device called a USB Server <http://www.keyspan.com/news/news.040108USBServer.spml>. They were showing it at MacWorld San Francisco but it doesn't look as if it's released yet. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting

I was afraid of this. I'll look at Keyspan maybe it's a solution.
Thank you Clark, very much. Greetings, Andre
