Airport Express Printer Works with Macbook Pro, but not on Macbook

We have two Macs -- a Macbook Pro, and a Macbook. Both are connected to an Airport Express, and can access the internet and control Airtunes without any issue. However, only the Macbook Pro can print to the Aiport Express connected printer -- a Canon ip3500.
When I go to system preferences to add the printer on the Macbook, the printer is available, and it allows me to add it. However, the location of the printer and the driver( or at least the driver number) are different, even though it is pre-populated by the computer itself.
Once the printer shows as being installed, I can print to that printer, but the job is automatically "Stopped" in the status. I cannot restart the job, it just stalls out.
When the printer is connected via USB, the Macbook can print to it without issue. It can also print to it via bonjour if I share the printer from the Macbook Pro.
Anyone else having similar issues? Any suggestions on how to fix it would be greatly appreciated.

Try creating a new location in the network settings. Then select Network port configurations and drag Airport to the top of the list. Uncheck any unused connection types such as built-in modem and Bluetooth.

    i tried setting up the printer under my wireless network only, and using the printer information, tried both and nothing works, my imac's same settings for the printer, and just cant get it to work.
    i am ussing airport extreme, and it shows printer conecting etc. but then it says not programed correctly and it fails.
    i dont know what else to try, i have followed every step on the manual, and nothing works..
    someone help me

    Could you open System Profiler on the iMac and the MBPro and select the Printers entry. Then in the top right pane you can select the printers entry and the bottom right pane will show information about your setup. Can you copy this information from both Mac's and paste back here.

  • HT4587 I downloaded Airport Express Utility 5.6 to get my Airport Express to work with the latest Mac OSX 10.7.4, but when I install and run it, it still says my Airport Express is out-of-date and needs the 5.6 utility.

    I downloaded and installed Airport Express Utility 5.6 to get my old Airport Express to work with the latest Mac OSX 10.7.4, but when I install and run it, it still says my Airport Express is out-of-date and needs the 5.6 utility. What's up?

    It is likely that you downloaded AirPort Utility 5.6.1.  If you checked the requirements, this only runs on Leopard or Snow Leopard Macs.
    You have Lion, so you need AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion

  • Can't Get Airport Express To Work With ATT's Uverse

    For years, AE worked just fine with my 2Wire portal streaming music to my stereo. Went to Uverse 2 months ago, and AE quit working. I am not using an Airport base station, just the Uverse modem and I need help getting it to work.
    There is nothing in this forum when I search for uverse, so I post this in hope someone can help me.
    I reset AE it and it finally appeared in Airport utility with a yellow light. I click configure and when I choose to join my current network, it sets up it's own Apple network, removing it from Airport utility and changing Airport status in Network to yellow.
    No matter what I do or how I try, I just can't get AE to work with the stock 2Wire modem.
    Has anyone been able to get AE to work with just the 2wire router & not have to buy an airport base station.
    Any help is REALLY appreciated, as I wanna hear my Christmas music, and it's turning me into a Grinch!
    Thanks!

    +However, it asks for the security and all I see is WEP in the Home Network set up, I don't know if it's 40 or 128+
    AT&T set this up, so only they can tell you for sure. My guess would be WEP 128 since this type of security is stronger than WEP 40.
    +And it asks for a wireless password. I entered the one from the router & it did not work. Tried the Key and it did not work.+
    This is the same wireless password that you would use if you were logging on to your wireless network with your computer. But, unless you first have the exact, correct security setting for your 2wire router, the password will not work.
    +Has anyone out there successfully got their Airport Express to work with Uverse????+
    I don't provide instructions to anyone on the forum unless I've first done it myself. I'm providing you with the same instructions that I used to help a neighbor with his 2wire Uverse setup last week. It works fine.
    But, he called AT&T to ask them what security setting they used on his 2wire router. Otherwise, we would have had to try each possible setting to see if we could make it work.
    AT&T also told him that his password should be 13 characters, all lower case letters with no spaces. That is what the neighbor said he used. I cannot confirm this as he did not share his password with me.
    AT&T may have set up the password criteria differently on your router. You need to confirm with them on this.
    +What password goes in the Base station tab, Key or Password?+
    Any password you want. This is a separate password simply to be able to access the settings on the device in the future when you are using AirPort Utility. You could use your wireless network password if you want.
    Please post back on your progress.

  • I keep getting kicked off of my wifi with my MacBook Pro but not with my IPAD?

    I keep getting kicked off of my wifi with my MacBook Pro but not with my IPAD, what do I do?

    Hi, mmayers.
    Sometimes a simple power cycle of the router can correct the issue that you are experiencing.  However, the issue could be a little more complex.  Wi-Fi routers need adjustments to settings periodically for optimized performance with the constant progression of wireless device technology.  Below, I have included two articles.  The first article will cover basic Wi-Fi troubleshooting.  The second article covers the recommended settings for current Wi-Fi access points.

  • I am currently using the Airport Express to work with a Bose Wave radio.  3.5 MM jack out and phono connectors into Bose.  Is there a way to hook to a new Bose Wave which does not have phono input plugs?

    I am currently using the Airport Express to work with a Bose Wave radio.  3.5 MM jack out of the Express and phono connectors into Bose.  Is there a way to hook to a new Bose Wave which does not have phono input plugs?

    The latest Bose Wave SoundTouch music system still uses a single 3.5 mm analog Aux port. You would connect the two using an analog audio cable with 3.5 mm stereo jacks on either end.
    An example cable would be located here.

  • This is the same question I've asked 3x in 24 hours, but it doesn't appear in the listing. Maybe I need help in phrasing questions?:)Q. why can I play some DVDs on my MacBook Pro but not on desk top Apple (they're both -1 year olds

    Hi
    This'll be my third attempt in 24 hrs to ask the same question. maybe I need guidance on phrasing questions?:)
    Q. Why can I always play DVDs on my MacBook Pro but not always on my desk top Apple. They're both less than  year old. The desk top sometimes displays a message that says I have to change regions (from Australia to South America...doh...)

    Region Code 4:
    Mexico, Central and South America, and the South Pacific.
    Includes Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Aruba, Australia, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, British Virgin Islands, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Falkland Islands, French Guiana, Grenada, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, New Guinea, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, Uruguay, Venezuela
    Apparently my first response was off in left field.  The DVD player has its own code.  My recommendation is to change the code when it asks.  It is possible that the disks that play correctly are region-free and the ones that don't have a region code.  If this does not work, you still have four more changes available; you won't be stuck with the new code.

  • Windows 8.1 64bit. Webcam works with "Camera" app but not with Skype.

    I've spent a few hours googling and trying out various things - all listed below. I give up - any ideas??? OS: Windows 8.1 64bitMemory: 32GBWebCam: Microsoft VX-7000. As per subject - the webcam works with the "Camera" app but not with Skype for desktop or for Modern UI (or the Microsoft Lifecam software for that matter).  Already attempted: 1) Uninstall webcam drivers - download latest from microsoft (Windows 7) and install in Windows 7 compatibility mode.2) Close (from taskmgr) anything that looks like it might use Webcam. 3) Run Skype for Desktop in Windows 7 and 8 compatibility modes None of the above work. In Skype for Modern UI the webcam doesn't appear in the drop down in Settings - so I can't even select it. In Skype for desktops (version 6.11.32.102) the webcam is found but instead of image I get "Can't start video. Try closing other programs that might be using your webcam". I see from a bit of googling that various people seem to have the same issue (i.e. Webcam works with Camera app but not Skype) - so I'm hopeful someone has found a workaround / fix to this issue and I've just not had the googling skills to find it  Thanks, - Matt Symes

    OK - I appear to have resolved the issue.  I restricted my google terms to [vx-7000 site:microsoft.com "windows 8.1"] Which uncovered this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933311 I noticed there were a couple of Windows 7 x64 specific registry settings that were mentioned so I checked these and they weren't as per the article. In fact - one of the Registry Keys was already used by other software "AI Charger+" which is some ValueAdd software that came with my motherboard. I uninstalled AI Charger+, uninstalled LifeCam driver. Reinstalled LifeCam driver in Windows 7 compatibility mode. Still not working. I returned to the registry and noticed the settings still differed from the above article. I corrected them (which involved not just amending Data but having to add new Values). I then disabled and reenabled the LifeCam from dvcmgmt.msc I was then able to get video from the webcam in the Skype for Desktop preview screen.    

  • Isight works with photo booth but not in ichat or google talk or skype?

    isight works with photo booth but not in ichat or google talk or skype?

    Hi
    Is this an Internal or External iSight ?
    In iChat, in the Video Menu (This is to the right of Buddies and may read Audio) is Camera Enabled Ticked ?
    If it reads Audio open the Connection Doctor from that same menu.
    In the connection Doctor open the Capabilities tab
    Does it say your Internet Connection is too slow ?
    At this point I would need to know which iChat Version.
    However also look in the View Menu.
    Is Show VIdeo Status ticked ?  (this shows green Icons next to your Buddy Pic and those of your Buddies
    Next go to the iChat Menu > Preferences > Video Section
    Do you see a preview here ?
    Re: GoogleTalk
    Have you enabled TALK on your Google Account Settings ?
    You need to have a Google Mail ID (Not any other sort of Google ID)
    Have you downloaded the Intel only Web Browser Plug-in to do Video in a  Web Browser.

  • My firewire port works with ext hd but not with audio interface

    2010 Imac 21.5 running 10.8.5. My firewire port works with ext hd but not with audio interface. The local authorized Apple tech said that I need a new motherboard, but my firewire ext drive works perfectly. I don't understand. Thanks.

    You must go to the website of the audio interface manufacturer and look for, download and install updated drivers for the audio device you are using.
    This is not, neccessarily, an Apple issue.

  • Enterprise Mgr works with one db but not the other

    Hi
    We have two Oracle 10g databases installed. Enterprise Manager works with the second, but not the first. I believe the problem started when we migrated the host server to another network domain. Everything else works fine, but I'm getting a page load failure when attempting to access enterprise mgr.
    The second db was installed after the migration and EM works fine.
    Can anyone tell me how to reconfigure this?
    Thank you

    by any change hostname or ip was changed during migration
    also can u paste the emoms.trc ?
