Vista - Active Directory Domain Services Is Currently Not Available- Printer Missing Solution

wendygan · 08-27-2008

First of all you must know your base station (I'm using Airport Express) IP address. You could either get it from "Airport Utility" or for Window users right click on the "Wireless Network Connection", click "Details". The IP address is there.

1. Go to "Network"
2. Click "Add a Printer"
3. Click "Add a network, wireless or Bluetooth printer"
4. If your desired printer doesn't appear, click "The printer that I want isn't listed"
5. Click "Add a printer using TCP/IP address or hostname"
6. Key in the Hostname or IP address (I key in the IP add)
7. Click next
8. Select your printer driver or "have disk option"

This should solve the problem. Good luck
