Can't get my printer to work with Airport Express

I got a new MacBook today, everything is up and running, so is my Airport express with my DSL line, but my printer is not responding to the connection. I plugged in the USB port from the printer to the Airport and the printer and it doesn't work. I restarted things, went to troubleshooting... nothing helped. It's not the printer because if I plug in the printer USB port directly to my MacBook it works. Anyone have any advice? Thank you!

The directiions on your site are for the Printer Setup Utility that was part of OS X 10.3 Panther. There is no optoin for "IP Printing" in the Tiger Printer Setup Utility, so I don't get how everyone was able to follow the intructions successfully. I sure can't. Is it enough to just add the printer normally using the default browser (as a Bonjour printer) and selecting the aformentioned GIMP driver manually? If not, I need help getting instructions that pertain to Tiger IP Printing. Thanks.
Use the process outlined here:

We have a Lexmark Pinnacle Pro901 and cannot get the printer to work with airport express - any suggestions?

Can anyone give us suggestions on how to get our Lexmark Pinnacle Pro 901 to work with airport express? We cannot get airport express to recognize the printer.

Refresh all your devices before reconfiguring printer to connect to your computer.
a Shutdown computer
b Pull out printer power cord from the socket. Let it stay for at least 30 seconds then plug it back.
c Powercycle your router (unplug your router for at least 30 then plug it back. This will not change the settings of the router. This will just refresh the device)
d Once router is ready , put back brick at the back of the printer to turn it on
e Wait one minute
f Turn on computer

Can't get EPSON nx300 to work with airport express

hey yall
i'm running a 3 year old white 13" macbook with 10.5.7 osx installed -~- having trouble getting things to print via my new airport express. my boyfriend has no troubles with his brand new macbook pro - it just worked instantly for him.
my computer is able to recognize the printer in a 'Bonjour' location when i add the printer, but when i go to print, it just opens an empty print queuueueue and nothing happens.
i tried installing the latest EPSON drivers to no avail, so i deleted all of them, which also didn't help.
eep

Welcome to the discussions!
Don't have an exact answer because I can't replicate the problem, but will offer a guess for what it's worth.
You are running Leopard 10.5.7 on your computer and the MacBook Pro might be running 10.6.x Snow Leopard, which may have updated printer drivers for the USB port on the AirPort Express.
Try updating 10.5.7 first by clicking the Apple icon at the upper left of your screen and then clicking Software Update. This may allow you to move to 10.5.8, which did offer a number of printer updates.
Then work your way through the Apple Printer Troubleshooting Guide to see if that might help allow printing to occur.

Can't get out.print to work with XML jsp tags

<jsp:scriptlet>
if(ErrorTrap == true) {
out.println("<tr><td colspan=\"center\" align=\"center\">There was" an error while processing the form</td></tr>");
ErrorTrap = false;
</jsp:scriptlet>
I can't get this script to work with the XML stype jsp tags. It keeps telling me the <jsp> tags are untermintaed. Is there a special trick to fix this or do I have to use the non-XML type tags?

Sorry, I didn't mean to put the extra " in the out.println text string. :-/

How do I get the printer to work with AirPort?

I have had my printer connected via USB cable to the AirPort for a while, but recently when I had to disconnect the printer for some home improvement, I ended up with problems.
Upon reconnecting the printer to the AirPort, I started receiving this message:
USB Power
A device connected to this Apple Wi-Fi base station's USB port requires more power than this Apple Wi-Fi base station can provide. Plug the device into a power supply if possible, or connect it to a powered USB hub.
My printer is connected to a power source, but I still cannot print to it. I can see the printer when I send something to be printed, but it will not actually print.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get my printer to work again?

Thanks for the detail. The dash separates the "main" and "guest" network.
There are a number of settings that are 2.4 GHz on both networks. The only time the dash separates 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz is on the last 3 settings.
Since the printer specifications available on the HP site show it is a b/g device only, I suspect that the printer does not like the current guest setting of 802.11 b/g/n you are currently using, which is also what it would be if the AEBS was set on Automatic.
Try the following setting:
802.11n only 5 GHz - 802.11 b/g
It's really the only choice that would keep the 5 GHz that you want on the "main" network and possibly allow the printer to connect. Unfortunately, the optimal choice for range and speed is not the setting that you may need to work with the printer.
If the printer still won't connect, I would call it a day and when it comes time for a new printer, look first for an ethernet device or at least an "n" device that will handle 5 GHz if you want a wireless printer. The advantage of an ethernet printer would be that it would also work over your wireless.
Please post back on your findings.

Can't get 4050n printer to work with new Desktop Computer: running XP

I have a new Desktop Computer, dual processor, which is running XP and MS office 2007. I had my 4050N HP Laserwriter hooked up to my old desktop (which failed in the last two weeks, blown capacitor, etc) and it worked fine with XP on that computer.
So I downloaded the drivers I found for HP 4050N running XP, and can't even get a test page. The connectors seem to be ok. I had to buy a parallel port to USB cable and I have that plugged into the USB port at the back of my new desktop.
Any ideas of what else I should try? If I had a computer virus with the old machine, could it have affected my printer somehow?
I'm at a loss.
Thanks!

Since you mention doing an upgrade I would be inclined to reset the printing system and then add the R2880 queue again.
Open System Preferences > Print & Fax
Move your mouse over the Printers list
Hold down the Control button and click the mouse
Click the "Reset printing system ..." popup
Restart your Mac
This will remove your print queues but not your printer drivers. So you will only need to add your printer queues again.

I can not get my printer to work with my new macbook pro. Help?

I have a printer from Dell that my macbook has recognized and it act as though it is printing but nothing is happening. The computer acts like it sends the doc to the printer but my printer is not doing anything. Any suggestions?

Check the Dell website for compatible printer drivers you can download and install.
Once the drivers are installed, open System Preferences > Print & Scan > Print
Then click + to add the printer.

If you aren't sure, click About this Mac from your Apple menu 
Troubleshooting advice can depend on that information.

Does Apple list available printers that work with AirPort Express?

Just bought an AirPort Express hoping that I could print wirelessly with my HP 1350 All-in-One, and it won't work. Found out after the fact that my printer doesn't support USB wireless printing.
I'm looking for a basic color printer to work with AirPort Express for wireless printing by other family members, and I'll continue to use my HP 1350 with USB for scanning and OCR functions.
Does Apple provide a list of recommended printers that will work with AirPort Express?

No Apple doesn't any more.
I have been maintaining a community created list.
http://tech.ifelix.net/1013.html
This is an unofficial list of USB printers which are are compatible with the AirPort Extreme Base Station and Airport Express. Printers in bold have been added to the original list that Apple provided.
Printers in dark red are in fact the only printers I have personally tested.
Please also note that due to changes in the firmware of both the Airport Extreme base station and the introduction of the Airport Express some printers which are in this list may no longer in fact be compatible.

Is there a way I get can my Dell V305 printer to work with my Mac?

I "inherited" my son's Mac Book Pro but when I tried to hook it up to our printer, Dell V305, it wouldn't work. I tried downloading the software from the Dell site, since we don't have the disks, but it wouldn't work. Is there a way I can get our printer to work with the Mac?

I would start by contacting Dell's tech support to determine if the printer is compatible. They may then be able to suggest what printer driver to use on the Mac.

How can I get my iMac to work with scanners?

How can I get my iMac to work with scanners? The scanners scan just fine, but not to my iMac. I've tried Epson and HP all-in-ones; it makes no diffference. I'm becoming extremely displeased, but don't know at whom I should be displeased, the printer guys or Apple. Help?

My Epson is able to do scans using Image Capture without any problems at all.

I have an Retina display MacBook Pro with HMDI out port. I also have an HDMI to Component cable with Audio Plugs. How can I get HDMI out to work with this cable when plugged into the Component and Audio ports on my TV?

I have an Retina display MacBook Pro with HMDI out port. I also have an HDMI to Component cable with Audio Plugs. How can I get HDMI out to work with this cable when plugged into the MacBook Pro and connected to the TVs Component and Audio in ports.

Will not work. To my knowledge, dual converting like that isn't supported. The Mac must detect the connected video output device and that sort of info cannot be done across an analog component uni-directional connection.

How can I get my ipod to work with itunes?

When I connect my ipod classic into my new computer it seems that itunes does not recognize it. How can I get my ipod to work with itunes? I'm afraid to disconnect my ipod because the display is saying Do Not Disconnect.

1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
7. Check for third-party software conflicts.
