Printing Lighter from windows to mac via airport express

My wife has a windows vista computer and the only way she can print to our printer through the airport express is if she connects to the printer through my computer as a shared printer. Going directly to the printer via bonjour does not work.
Anyway, whenever she prints to the printer the text is always lighter than it should be or would be if she was directly connected to the printer. My iMac prints perfectly to the printer via the AE.
Any ideas?

Airtunes actually only support MP3/AAC audio streaming from iTunes. That's too bad for video.
The things is, even with other Airtunes streaming software, the streaming delay is such that the song will be off by a few second from the video. I guess Apple have choose to do not stream video sound until this may be resolve.
Therefore, I'm not aware of any solution to this issue.

Printing on a Canon Pixma MP600 via Airport Express from a Windows 2000 PC

Hi, I'm a Mac: I can print directly connected AND wirelessly to a Canon MP600 printer through Airport Express.
Hi, I'm a PC: I can only print when I'm directly connected to the printer.
Has anyone found a way to print to their Canon through Airport Express?

Try these instructions first: http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/1006.html
Another route is to use Bonjour for Windows to be able to access the printer attached to the AirPort base station from your PC.
In addition, not all USB printers work with AirPort base stations for sharing. The following iFelix link provides an "unofficial" list of known compatible printers...and some workarounds.

Connecting to a pc from my mac via airport express wireless network

I have successfully been able to access my mac from my Windows XP machine via my AE wireless network that I set up with my Mac. However, I am unable to do the reverse. I.e. connect to my PC from my Mac.
There seem to be two issues I need to figure out to make this work:
1. Firstly, the option to allow sharing for any of my Windows folders has been restricted because apparently I need to create a network first but I have a network and both the PC and Mac can access the internet, share a printer and see each other via this network so I don't understand what's wrong. Do I have to create a network from the pc side of things as well in order for this to work?
2. When I attempt to connect to the pc from my mac I do the following from Finder: GO >> "Connect to Server" then I type in smb://<ip address of the pc>. When the dialogue comes up asking for "Workgroup/Domain", "Name" and "Password" comes up I know I have the correct workgroup and I know the pc is there because it's full name is displayed but I'm not sure what to enter as "Name" and "Password". I assumed it was the username and password for the windows user on the pc whose files/folders I want to access but then I'm told the connection can't be made because the name or password isn't correct. I tried every user name and password I could think of in these fields--even the accounts for my mac--but they all give me the same response.
I'd appreciate it if someone could someone lend a hand.

Sorry, I don't know which articles you have already reviewed.
Sharing folders on the PC should be nothing more than enabling "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks" option under Network options & then identifying which folders you want to share.

Allow wireless PC to access files on my Mac via airport express - possible?

I currently access the internet wirelessly via an airport express plugged into a netgear router, everything works great.
I also have a spare pc that i would like to be able to access the net wirelessly - it currently doesnt have a wireless card but i figure if i just get a usb unit it should be able to without too many problems as it should just detect my airport network (hopefully anyway).
Befor i go get the card tho, i was wondering if there will be a way to allow me to transfer files between the Mac HD and the PC HD - it wouldnt have to be 2-way, just so i could sit at my mac and send files over to the Pc - is this possible, and if so, a little help in how exactly to set it up would be appreciated!
cheers!!

using the guide on that page i have managed to
connect to the Mac from the PC, but i am unable to
see the folders on my external hard-drive
You will need to use Sharepoints in order to share the external hard drive.

Extend wireless network from Uverse/Motorola 1ZVDC via Airport express

After spending 2+ hours trying to extend son's network via A Express, can this be done straight from his uVerse Motorola 1ZVDC modem? I can get the express to show up, but will not work/extend network, and doesn't show up in wireless menu; only in airport utility :-(
Now I saw an old post which says express cannot expand network from non-apple modem. Is this correct? I don't think he wants to pay for Extreme + express. I am certain that, at my other residence, I am using an express directly paired to my uVerse. Here, main residence, I have 3 paired with Extreme.
He had bought a cheap extender which has to be plugged into USB on computer (wouldn't this be the modem?). I was positive the express would do the job.
His setup: OS X.6.8
Airport: 5.6.1
uVerse Motorola: 1ZVDC
Apple Express:one below
What if I plug the express directly into the modem? Of course, probably won't extend network, which is my objective.
If I give him my old extreme, what are advantages to new one?
TY for your help.

You cannot use extend to other brands.. it is apple proprietary method of repeater.
What if I plug the express directly into the modem? Of course, probably won't extend network, which is my objective.
You can always plug in by ethernet and setup the express to create a wireless network with the same name and same credentials as the existing wireless.. this is called roaming network and is far superior to extend.
If ethernet does not allow you to place the unit in the right place.. you can try EOP adapters. (homeplug in the US).
If I give him my old extreme, what are advantages to new one?
You can extend wireless by plugging the extreme into the main modem.. setup wireless to create a wireless network.. the Express can extend an apple wireless network.
However please do understand the restrictions.. extend will halve the speed at best.. at worst it will be too slow to be usable. And the range can still be poor.. apple do not make wireless powerhouses.. they are average at best.
He had bought a cheap extender which has to be plugged into USB on computer (wouldn't this be the modem?). I was positive the express would do the job.
If it is a universal extender it should work but needs to be located where the signal is still good.. USB is probably just for power.
If the computer cannot pick up wireless signal then the extender cannot work either.

Cant stream video sound from ITunes to stereo via Airport Express

I'm using a PC with wireless (Centrino 802.11g) with Itunes (Latest release 7.0.0.70) and for some reason the sound from Itunes video will not stream wirelessly to my stereo connected to my AirPort Express.
When the video is embedded in an Itunes playlist of MP3s, the sound will work fine through the AirPort Express with the MP3 tracks, but will toggle over to the PC speakers for the video.
Any ideas gratefully received?

No music from iphone to speakers via airport express

Hello smw380. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Yes. You just need to enable "Personal File Sharing" on both Macs.
o System Preferences > Sharing > Services tab

Share printer with Windows 7 via Airport Express?

I would like to share a printer with a Windows 7 Laptop via airport express. The Windows 7 Pc does not detect the printer whereas printing from the Macbook Pro works fine. Any ideas?

Hi, I was searching for the same (my colleague has a windows PC; everyone else here has mac). I have not tested this, since I am working on mac, but it seems like you need to install "Bonjour" for windows.

I am trying to connect a Windows 7 / 64 bit to an Epson printer on my Mac. The printer is hooked into the Mac via USB; the Mac is networked to a Linksys wireless router with an ethernet cable, as is the Windows box. Any tips on how to do this?

I am trying to connect a Windows 7 / 64 bit to an Epson printer on my Mac. The printer is hooked into the Mac via USB; the Mac is networked to a Linksys wireless router with an ethernet cable, as is the Windows box. I installed the current Bonjour printer services software on the Windows machine, and separately installed the driver software for the Epson printer on the WIndows machine. Running the bonjour wizard, I get an alert saying 'I don't have sufficient access to my computer to connect to the selected printer'.
The printer has 'sharing' turned on from the Mac end; this works with a Powerbook via the wireless connection. Sharing is also turned on in the Windows printer control panel for this printer (under properties). The Mac is a G5 running 10.5.8. When I try to print a page from the Windows machine it gets hung in the print queue.
Any advice how to proceed would be appreciated!
thx,

HT1515 I have moved from windows to mac and had to reset my airport. I am trying it to join the existing wireless network. the process ends in an unexpected error. The ethernet connection seems to work OK

I have moved from windows to mac and had to reset my airport express. After the reset I enter the name of the existing network, name the base unit, enter its password twicw and select additional options as join the existing network. It comes back with a screen asking for the name of the base unit and password. Aftre which it starts cycling between "waiting for airport express", "connecting to 'network name'" and ends with an error message. When I try to set up using ethernet cable evrything works but I need wireless (it worked OK just hours ago). Any advice?
Thank you

Hello, vgafromva.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Sometimes a simple power cycle of the AirPort can resolve this issue. However, here is an article I would recommend going through when experiencing issues connecting to Wi-Fi.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please reply back with the exact error message received.

Trying to add HP Photosmart C4280 via airport express. "Add Printer" correctly finds printer as Bonjour kind but "add Printer" cannot find printer software from Apple

trying to add HP Photosmart C4280 via airport express. "Add Printer" correctly finds printer as Bonjour kind but "add Printer" cannot find printer software from Apple (although it says that the software is available from Apple)

Rfh723-
You are technically way ahead of me, so I can't argue with what you did.
How about an even simpler WiFi network consisting of only the AirPort connected by an Ethernet cable to the printer? If the iPad still can't find the printer when connected to this network, then something is broken!
(Also try a different Ethernet cable.)

Trouble printing to Epson Workforce 435 via airport express network

We have an Epson Workforce 435 printer that connects wirelessly to our home network via Airport Express. After we switched to AT&T, we could no longer print from our Windows 7 PC connected to the network via Airport as well. Our Macbook air works just fine. The printer's network status sheet says it is connected, but it's like our computer can't find it on the network. Can't ping the printer's IP address either.

Okay, I have checked the settings on the AX - it is set up to be 802.11b/g compatible, so that doesn't appear to be the problem.
I had a friend come over with her macbook - she was able to detect the wireless network, but wasn't able to connect to it, even when I gave her the password. Does this help diagnose the problem?
Here is additional information about how the AX is currently configured:
In the Airport tab in AirPort Utility:
Wireless Mode: Create a wireless network
Radio Mode: 802.11b (802.11b/g compatible)
Channel: 1
Wireless security: WEP
MAC Address Access Control: Not Enabled
In the Internet tab in Airport Utility:
Connect using: Ethernet
Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
Ethernet WAN port: Automatic
Connection sharing: Off (Bridge mode)
I have tried turning wireless security off, but that didn't help the problem. I have also tried turning MAC Address Access Control to Timed Access, inputted the MAC address of the printer, and gave it permission to access the network all day, everyday, but this didn't work either. I have looked at changing the connection sharing settings, but I don't really understand what I'm doing here, so I am reluctant to mess with things much. This seems like the most promising potential solution?
Thanks!

HP printer not printing via Airport Express

I have a HP DeskJet D2330 printer that I am trying to use via Airport Express. The issue is that while the printer is detected in the Airport Utility, and is detected in System Preferences as a Bonjour printer, I can't print to it. Documents sent to the printer appear in the queue and then disappear but no pages come out of the printer.

Hi - similar problem. Mine talked a little (test page would print about ~1 inch then grind to halt). No luck with escalated apple network tech. Problem (apple sez) is with HP. HP is quiet but has list of printers "likely" to work with Airport Extreme , but dated (indicates rendezvous with extreme vice bonjour). FYI, my printer works fine when USB direct to mac. Also Works fine from Mac or PC as ethernet-connected printer on home network (with Linksys/N Giga router) as network printer (also sets up as "bonjour" printer for what that is worth). Also problem exists with imac connected to Airport extreme via wireless or wired. So...problem seems to be pretty specific to talking via airport extreme USB. Havent tried to use ethernet yet, but need the slot for other equip.
Anyone else having any luck?
Also anyone have proven good printer hookup? I need photo quality printer.
