I bought HP deskjet F2100 printer and i tried to plug into my airport express for printing and from my acer laptop(WinXP) i could setup according to the manuals of airport express and i could make wireless prit but when i tried to print from my macbook(OS X 10.4) i couldnt print even though i follow the manual book from airport express, i get "unable to connect to printer". i could see that HP Deskjet F2100 in my printer setup utility and i could see in the box browser- HP DeskjetF2100 and in connection is bonjour, but still i couldnt print.I have airport express software in both of my laptop and from acer i could print wirelessly but from macbook i couldnt. And in both laptop i could connect internet wirelessly but i couldnt print wirelessly. i dont understand how come both apple product macbook and airport express are not compatible..

The HP Mac drivers are incompatible with wireless printing.

  • Has anyone figured out how to print through Airport Express with Vista?

    My wife has Vista on her laptop and everytime we try printing through the Airport Express/Bonjour it doesn't work. It might print one page and then stop, but never any further.
    The latest Bonjour is installed.
    Is there anything else?

    Was this printer ever at one time connected to the Vista PC directly ? also with Vista ive seen issues with bonjour printers. Its due to either the firewall of this new junk they added in called windows defender. This application ive seen various results from it like it thought my install of Gears of War was a virus and etc. One thing you could even try doing is turn off the windows firewall and see if this resolves this issue. Seeing as this computer is behind a "hardware" firewall such as a router anyways you wouldnt really need to have the firewall on unless you had a strong need for the extra security

  • Can't Print From Airport Express

    Hi. I'm connecting my Epson printer to an Airport Express (g) via usb.
    Airport Setup Utility can see the printer, "allow printing over WAN" is checked, the apps can see it - but when I try to print it stalls then says "printer not online."
    Any ideas? I'm printing from a MacPro QC 2.66. Ideally I'd like to hook a USB hub up to the Express' usb port, so I can use a scanner as well, but for now I'd be happy to get just one usb device, the printer working.
    I read the apple docs on using hubs, so not sure that's possible, but the printer hooked directly to the usb port on the express should work, anyway - right? But all I get is "printer not online" even though the apps can see it.
    Any help appreciated.

    Not all printers are compatible. Checkout "The iFelix unofficial Airport Extreme and Airport Express Printer Compatibility List"
    Ideally I'd like to hook a USB hub up to the Express' usb port, so I can use a scanner as well...
    Sorry but the USB port on Apple's base stations do not support scanning.

  • CAN IPHONE PRINT FROM AIRPORT EXPRESS

    hi i just want it i can print from my iphone 4s to the airport express.

    You will need an AirPrint compatible printer for this. Check this support document to see if your printer might be compatible.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
    If you do not have an AirPrint compatible printer, you might still be able to get printing going by using an application like Printopia on your Mac. There is a free trial so you can check to see if it will work.

  • Can no longer print from Airport Express

    I have an Airport Express base station model A1084 that had been working fine. I have a printer attached to it that did work, but now whenever it is used it shows offline. The Airport is connected to a DLink DGL-4100 router which is connected to a cable modem. Wireless access to the internet works fine. I also have an iMac connected to this network. The Airport utility on the iMac can only see the Airport when I turn on the wifi on the iMac. If I turn off the wireless on the iMac, it cannot find the Airport. I have discovered that the iMac can print to the printer when the wifi is on but not when it is turned off. Performance is very slow. The other devices can see the printer but not print to it. I suspect that an update to something is the source of the problems. All of the software and firmware is up to date.
    Any help is appreciated.
    John

    The Airport is connected to a DLink DGL-4100 router which is connected to a cable modem.
    With the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) connected directly to the upstream D-Link router by Ethernet, I assume that you have the AX reconfigured as a bridge, i.e., Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode) ... correct?

  • I have an Ipad and Iphone but I don't have an Airprint, only a WIFI printer,my question is if I connect the wifi printer to Airport express, can I print from Ipad and Iphone ?

    I have an Ipad and Iphone but I don't have an Airprint at home but only a WIFI printer, my question is if I connect the wifi printer to Airport express, can I print from Ipad and Iphone ? Please help me if anyone knows about this.

    Unfortunately, connecting a non-AirPrint-enabled printer to an AirPort base station's USB port will not make it AirPrint-ready.
    You will need to use another solution, like Printopia, to be able to print to this printer from an iOS device.

  • Printing to airport express from multiple imacs

    I have two Intel based iMacs that share a Canon ip4300 printer via Airport Express (connected to the USB port on the airport Express). One of the iMacs prints perfectly and very fast. The second (and closer unit to the AE) prints extremely slow and can take an hour to print one photo. I disconnected the AE and plugged the USB directly into the second iMac and it too prints perfectly and very fast. So it seems to be something to do with the WiFi connection between the second iMac and the AE that is causing the problem. I have downloaded new firmware for the AE and drivers for the printer. I have reconfigured that AE from scratch. What should I do?

    When you say that you installed the "drivers" for your Dell laptop, does this mean that you also installed Bonjour for Windows, which is on the CD that came with the AirPort Express?
    If you haven't installed Bonjour for Windows on the Dell, you can download it here:

  • How to print from iPhone 3GS with OS 4.2.1?

    Hello,
    I have searched and read through the discussion forums, but I'm not sure I understand how to print from my iPhone.
    In reading the manual for the iPhone 3GS, specifically on page 44, it says the following:
    AirPrint uses your Wi-Fi network to send print jobs wirelessly to your printer. iPhone must be connected to the same wireless network as the AirPrint printer.
    My HP printer (Officejet Pro L7555) is plugged into my Airport Express so that I can do wireless printing. (I am also using an Airport Extreme for the WiFi network in my house).
    When I have, for example, an email on my iPhone that I am reading, if I tap the "reply" button, I do see the "Print" option appear. When I tap on "Print", it brings up a screen where it says, "Select Printer". I then tap on that, and it will then say, "Looking for Printers".
    The final outcome is "No Printers Found".
    Since I am following the instructions on wireless printing as found on page 44 of the iPhone 3GS handbook (with OS 4.2.1 software), I'm not sure what it is that I'm doing wrong. I can print wirelessly with my iMac and my MacBook Pro to my HP printer just fine. Everything in my home is on the same network (my iPhone, iMac, iTouch, and MacBook Pro) that the printer is on.
    I'm sure I'm missing a big chunk of the puzzle somewhere that the manual is missing. Can someone please let me know what additional steps I must take in order to print from my iPhone 3GS while I am at home on my own network?
    Thank you very much.

    From one Andy to another Andy (LOL):
    Okay, thank you for the information. I even searched the Store web page before asking my question, and somehow missed this.
    Well, I'm not about to go and buy ANOTHER Apple toy just to print from my iPhone. For now, I think I can stick to the old-fashioned way and just forward it to myself so that I can print it from the iMac. I just got Apple TV a few days ago, so I'll have to wait a little bit for the next toy.
    Thank you very much for the prompt answer.

  • How to set up Airport Express in Bridge mode for hotel use

    Please provide step by step instructions on how to set up Airport Express in Bridge mode for hotel use. I do not have a computer with me, only an iPhone and AEX 802.11n.

    +"Please provide step by step instructions on how to set up Airport Express in Bridge mode for hotel use. I do not have a computer with me, only an iPhone and AEX 802.11n."+
    AirPort Utility is the application that must be used to setup and make any configuration changes to the AirPort Express. I'm not aware of an "App" for this.
    If you could borrow a computer from someone there for 30 minutes or maybe use the computer in the lobby, you could download AirPort Utility and reconfigure your Express. To help with setup, use an ethernet cable from the computer to the Express to help AirPort Utility "see" the Express.

  • How good is the Airport Express inbuilt Digital to Analogue converter?

    How good is the Airport Express inbuilt Digital to Analogue converter?
    I have just purchased a 2012 dual band Airport Express which has the combined optical/3.5mm analogue jack audio output.
    This is to connect to my hifi seperate amplifier, which does not have an optical input.
    This gives me a couple of options
    a) just use a standard 3.5mm jack to phono cable (and use the built in DAC in the airpor express)
    or
    b) purchase a seperate DAC to convert the optical from the Express into phono and connect that to the amplifier
    I will be sending 250-320kbps music to the airport express wirelessly.
    Will I see much/any benefit in sound quality with option B vs option A?
    I ask because option A is free (I already have the cable) and option B will be around £20-£30 depending on which DAC I were to buy (I would also need a new TOSlink optical cable).
    These are the sort of DACs I was looking at.
    Thanks, Chipstix

    How good is the Airport Express inbuilt Digital to Analogue converter?
    Please check out this stereophile article on the earlier AirPort Express. I understand that the newest version may use basically similar audio hardware.
    I will be sending 250-320kbps music to the airport express wirelessly.
    The AirPort Express Base Station (AX) works only with iTunes v4.6+ and is limited to music files that iTunes can read; ie, 16-bit data only. (An exception is you can use a third-party product like Rogue Amoeba's AirFoil to stream other non-iTunes sources.) These data, though, can be in any file format that iTunes recognizes, from lossy MP3s at the low-quality end of the spectrum to Apple Lossless and lossless AIF or WAV files at the high end. It is also important to note that the AX functions only at a 44.1kHz sample rate. When you play 32kHz or 48kHz data, iTunes sample-rate-converts the data in real time before sending it to the AX.
    iTunes uses a QuickTime CODEC to convert audio files to Apple Lossless, and then, uses AirPlay to send them to the AX. In turn, the AX uses built-in software that converts the Apple Lossless to an Encoded Digital Audio format. From there, digital audio is sent to a optical transceiver to convert the electrical signal to an optical one before sending it to the innermost part of the audio port. As you already know for analog, the AX has a built-in DAC to convert the Encoded Digital Audio to Analog which is sent to the same audio port.
    One operational glitch is the fact that, as the AX doesn't have a local clock circuit, when the incoming data is interrupted, as it is when you change songs in iTunes, there is no longer a digital output to feed the DAC, which loses lock as a result. Using an external DAC, which may offer better audio performance, may have issues with this glitch. Some DACs are more sensitive than others.

  • Anyone know how to print from Win2K or WinXP to shared printer on iMac?

    Help! Anyone know how to print from Win2K or WinXP to shared printer on iMac? I have a new IMac hosting a Canon iP4300, a pc running W2K & a pc running WXPsp2. All computers recognize each other and the iP4300 on the network and can share files. All Mac "Windows Sharing" & "Printer Sharing" preferences sre set correctly. Apple says the printer must be configured on the Windows computers as an SMB/CIFS network printer using a Postscript driver. I can find lots of pages on the net telling me I what needs to be done, but nothing stating how to do it. All the info I've found is either overly simplistic and or relates to the 10th dang of enterprise server administration. Would VERy much appreciate any help at all.
