# Sharing a printer over the Ethernet WAN port

If you set up your base station or your Time Capsule to share a printer using the Ethernet WAN port, computers that are not on your local network can print to it. If you are at work, for example, you could print to your USB printer connected to your base station at home.

## To share a printer over the Ethernet WAN port:

1. Connect your USB printer to your AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule.

2. Open AirPort Utility, located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a Mac, and in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a Windows computer.

3. Select the device that will share the printer, and then click Manual Setup.

4. Click Printers in the toolbar, and then select “Share printers over Ethernet WAN port.”
