Hi Traci,

In general, I recommend against using AirPort.  Although inconvenient, using a 
network printer has two advantages in practice: you get native driver and/or 
AirPrint support for the printer, which depending on the printer is 
indistinguishable from a wired connection, and you can use any operating system 
and/or network service that your printer is capable of using such as 
CloudPrint.  Note that AirPort only supports Mac and Windows, but not AirPrint 
with iOS.

I really do feel your pain though.  A very workable compromise, and the one I 
favour, is to connect using Ethernet.  An Ethernet configuration that is 
automatic, i.e. DHCP and/or SLAAC for addresses and Bonjour or WSDL for 
discovery, will work whichever network you plug your printer into, and no 
matter what you change your Wi-Fi password or router to.

I hope it helps.

Cheers,
Sabahattin
