Since this latest version of Netgear Genie I have had to uninstall and forget about it. I myself was getting a power state failure and causing a Blue Screen of Death on my WIndows PC when I tried to power down or put the PC to sleep. Drove me insane trying to figure it out but then I posted it in the Windows 8 Foums and posted my crash results on it and someone was able to help me. There is a Email address for Genie support netgeargenie@netgear.com and they might be able to help you. Now for Airprint have you searched the App Store? I seem to remember that there are Apps that can provide Airprint support to older printers that are not Airprint Compatible and that in my opinion might be a better way to go or get a new printer even the cheapest one today should have Airprint Support.
