Use Airport Extreme USB Port

Hi,
Just wondering if it is possible to connect to your printer (Makergear m2 in this case) through Simplify3d when it is plugged into an airport extreme's usb port? Guessing it is a bit of a long shot but would be super handy if it worked!
Appreciate any help
Cheers!

Haven't used a USB Airport Extreme, but if it doesn't make your computer think the USB device plugged into the airport extreme is actually plugged into the computer, then it will probably not work.

I don't think COM ports are supported through those types of usb connections

I've tried it with apple airport express.... did not work but I did not spend all that much time on it.
If you get it working let me know!
