Question Macbook Pro prints OK, Powerbook doesn't

I've got an Epson printer (Epson Stylus Colour 670) sitting off an airport extreme (one of the new ones). My macbook pro sees the printer and prints to it without any problems. My powerbook also sees the printer OK and "prints" to it, or so it thinks, but the document just seems to go into the ether never to be seen again - even though the queue seems to indicate that the document was successfully printed. I've tried removing the printer in "Print & Fax", restarting the powerbook and then adding again (via bonjour) but to no avail.

I originally had the printer hanging off an airport express, then later one of the older airport extremes - both used to work fine. However, since I tried moving it across to the new airport extreme I can't get the powerbook to work with the printer regardless of which device I hang it off (macbook pro works like a charm though). When I take the powerbook to work it can still see and print correctly to the printers there, it's just at home where things go astray.

Anyone have any idea what might be going on?
