Color Laser Printer - advice for student - compatible with Airport Express!

Hi there!
In September my studies will start hier in Germany. I'm now looking for an Color Laser Printer as a birthday gift from my parents. For me the compatibility with my Airport Express is very important. The printing costs should be low, i prefer to spend more money on the printer once. I think a price between 400 and 600 Euros should be ok.
Could you give me some advices or tell me your experiences?
Sorry for my english, i know it's not the best;-)
Greetings from Germany!

If it works on the quoted airport extreme, you should be good with the airport express
Hope that helps and good luck.

Is Printer HP Laserjet 1018 compatible with Airport Express and windows

I am using HP Laserjet 1018 which is connected directly to the PC.
As it is a USB printer but not a wifi one, can I connect it to Airport Express and will it be recognised ?
Thank you for your answers.

I have internet service on iMac but cannot get connection for Blu ray with airport express.

Why am I not getting internet connection for blu ray on tv with airport express?

Which exact model of the AirPort Express do you have?
Did the Blu Ray player connect wirelessly to the Express before or has it never been able to connect to it at all?

Which Color LaserJets are compatible with Airport Express?

I am having a hard time figuring out which HP Color LaserJet printers are going to work with AE. HP's website does not give me much information and of course Apple's site is the same. What am I really looking for here? Would Apple Bounjour compatibility do it? If so, would I be able to just connect the printer to AE either using USB or an Ethernet and print off of the wireless network?
Let's say would any of the following work?
HP Color LaserJet 2605dn
HP Color LaserJet 3600dn
HP Color LaserJet 3600n
HP Color LaserJet 3800

Let's say would any of the following work?
HP Color LaserJet 2605dn
HP Color LaserJet 3600dn
HP Color LaserJet 3600n
These are all network printers with ethernet connections and are designed to be connected to networks via ethernet.
You could only connect these to an Airport Express by ethernet if the Airport Express was configured as a remote WDS node.
If connecting by USB I would expect them to work (even if they are not on my list) as they are network printers by design.
HP Color LaserJet 3800
This one is less certain, but my experiences with the 2600 makes me think yes it will work.

Password for ethernet, connecting with AirPort Express?!

I live in a student-house, and normally connects with a cable to the wall (ethernet). I´ve got a password from the University where I study, and have to use this to connect with the ethernet.
My question; Can I place the ethernet-cable into the AirPort Extreme, and make it work on my mac, even though there´s a password? (can I type in this password somewhere during the installation?)
I´m no good at this, and I´m really really tired of having to use the cable on my mackbook....

Okey, than I wont try no more...
Thank you so much!!

What range extender is compatible with Airport Express?

I want to extend the range of my wireless signal. I have two airport expresses, one is connected in the office (to the cable modem). The other one is in my bedroom and is used as an extender. I want to extend the my wireless signal to my kitchen, I get the signal from the office but it's weak. However, I don't want to spend the money on another airport express. So, what range extender can I use, or what other ideas are out there.
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

If you want to this wirelessly then you will need to use another Airport Express.
If you can run a cable to close to the kitchen from the office and attach a cheap wireless access point then you can create a roaming network.

Adobe acrobat only prints first page with airport express

I got my printer (HP PSC1315) to work with airport express using one of the solutions described in these forums. Printing is fine except when trying to print pdf files with adobe acrobat, in which case only the first page of the document prints. Preview has no trouble printing pdfs. Anyone else experience this? Is there a solution?
Thanks,
Kevin
PS- my version of acrobat is acrobat pro 7.0.5

Figured it out.
Adobe Acrobat/Reader is apparently very picky about printer drivers.
I had to have the users delete their mapped network printers from their Printers & Faxes window.
Then I opened the registry and went to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows NT x86\Drivers\Version-3
I deleted the drivers for the printer(s) the customer had mapped (e.g. Xerox 6360DN, .. etc.)
I rebooted the computer
I had the customer logon and remap their printer.
That resolved the issue.

HP LaserJet Pro P1606DN compatible w/ Airport Express?

I am going to be purchasing a new Mac Pro and would like to be able to print wirelessly to a laser printer. I like the HP LaserJet Pro P1606DN, but it is not a wireless printer, per se.
I understand after speaking with an Apple representative that a non-wireless printer (assuming it has the right drivers) can be plugged directly into the Airport Express via USB, which will allow a Mac Pro with an Airport card installed to print to it wirelessly.
So, I have two questions:
1) Does the HP printer mentioned above have the proper drivers (or is otherwise compatible) to work with the Airport Express?
2) Will the configuration I mentioned above work, assuming the printer is compatible with Airport Express?
Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions!
This question was solved.

It should work just fine. Your Mac Pro does not have to be wirelessly connected to your network for it to work, a wired connection will also work (unless the Airport Express will not be on your network but rather just stand-alone).
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

I would like to stream iTunes to my receiver, a Sony STR-DE945. Is this compatible to Airport Express?

I would like to stream iTunes to my receiver, a Sony STR-DE945, is this compatible with Airport Express? Thank you.

Connect a stereo cable from the 3.5mm audio out jack on the Airport Express to the L-R audio in jacks on the receiver.
Or you can do it via an optical cable from the same 3.5mm optical out to one of the optical inputs on the receiver.

Looking for recommendations for a good small color laser printer

My trusty Canon inkjet is on its last legs and I am considering getting a color laser printer.
I need it to have ethernet so all computers on my home LAN can print to it.
I am currently looking at the Samsung CPL-315W and the HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni Printer.
Pros: Samsung is smaller than the HP
Samsung toner is cheaper
HP print quality is rumored to be better
Cons:
Samsung toner is more difficult to find locally
HP printer is more expensive ($309 compared to $199)
If you have any advice or experience with these printers, I would appreciate it.

hi cejones,
Did you end up finding a printer?
I'm looking as well. I have the Samsung clp-510 and while it's very reliable, the UI for mac is terrible. So terrible in fact that I still have it connected to a PC b/c their UI is much better for controlling colour etc..
i'm looking for a wireless solution.
Cheers

Color Laser Printer for OSX?

Hi! I need some advice on a color laser printer that will work with Tiger and Leopard both and also Windows XP. I'm looking for a high quality 25-35 PP/Min printer. I haven't had any luck finding suitable reviews for anything out there. Does anyone have any real world advice? Thanks, Tom

I have a Hewlett Packard CP2025DN color laserjet printer. It cost about $450 a month or so ago. I've never heard of an HP printer that doesn't work with Windoze anything. I haven't heard of any HP printers that don't work with Tiger or Leopard, either.
It has a built-in duplexer, and handles up to 8.5x14 paper. It is networkable, you can buy an additional wireless box for them. I use my printer connected via USB to a PPC Leopard machine that has printer sharing enabled (I did that because the PPC is always on anyways as a fax server, email server, voicemail server, and file server). The printer is advertised to be about 21 ppm, as I recall. I don't think that the printer is recommended for heavy duty use.
Can't speak to the rate of toner consumption, I'm a pretty light-duty user. I think HP toner cartridges run about $100 each.

Compatible Stationary Color Laser Printer:

Which printers that are color laser printers
with stationary cartridges (cartridges that do NOT move when printing) lol.
that are compatible with Apple Mac OS 10.4.11
AND
A Power PC G3 Processor????????????????
I have a Samsung CLP 300 Color Laser Printer with stationary cartridges ("NO-NOIS")
But the software says "Sorry this software requires a G4 Processor which this system does not have".
Very Annoying. }=[
It works...but the printing comes out terrible. Everything is smashed together on the left side of the page. Whether it is text or images.
I recently learned that Samsung, even with their "NO-NOIS" stationary cartridges, has very limited Mac compatibility. =[ It is just like google software. (excellent software but not made for macs).
I do not care if the printer is big or not. I just want a compatible color laser printer with not moving cartridges. (I had an HP color laser printer with moving cartridges...which is the component that broke). So which printers are similar to Samsungs, but with better compatibility????????
I have an idea that makes sense: Since I am using Apple computer, then why not connect an Apple Printer???? lol. I can get an "old" Apple Color Laser Printer. However, do the cartridges move? I hope they do not move.

Very Important Update!!!!!!! =] =] =] =] =] =] =] =] =] =]
I got it to work. I had it plugged into the original USB 1.0 ports and all I did was plug it into the USB 2.0 PCI Card that I added to it recently.
And that is all that it needed. Everything prints perfectly... word processor documents, images, and anything else. So this means that whenever I need to get a color laser printer I will just get anything that I can find on ebay. ( I am going to put a color laser printer for each desktop and perhaps a few for the laptops when I repair them. ) I am very happy about this; I was probably going to have to spend $400.00USD for a confirmed compatible color laser printer but now I don't have to worry about that expense. I really like color laser printers because they are easier to print because the fused toner won't run like ink would. I have HP PSCs, which print (in ink) so I don't use them to print, only to scan...so I have one connected to a USB 2.0 port and I am downloading software to see if it will scan. I am probably going to post a question about scanning... but this question about printing has been solved. =]

Recommendation for color laser printer

What is a decent color laser printer to use with Airport Express? I don't print a lot (perhaps a couple of hundred pages per month), so having separate toner cartridge for each CMYK color isn't necessary.

I believe this link is a good place to start.
