I am thinking of buying a MacPro along with a HP 7130 Photosmart printer. The printer has built-in wireless capability.

Can you print wirelessly to the printer using the built-in airport interface, or do you have to purchase a Airport Extreme Base station?

Also how does Bonjour and Rendezvous works in conjuntion with this?

The Wi-Fi technologies are industry-standards, so it's quite possible it will work, assuming that your Mac Pro is equipped with AirPort of course.

I would suggest you check with HP about this, however. Most of their products are fully Mac compatible, but there might be issues with Mac OS X Leopard, and possibly wireless printing. It doesn't hurt to check, although there's nothing wrong in getting the AirPort Extreme. It's a great product.
