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?

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.

  • Printing to Canon Pixma MP170 on Airport Express from Windows XP

    I got a Canon MP170 basically for free with the rebates.
    Connected to my Airport Express, installed the drivers on my PowerMac and I can print just fine (I am aware that the scanner will only work when connected directly - which also works fine).
    Now I installed the drivers on Windows XP, then added a new printer, selected the Standard TCP/IP port where I had my other printer on the Aiport Express before and changed the printer driver to the Canon MP170. Could not print.
    Deleted the port (only managed after deleting the printer(s) defined with it and restarting Windows ...) and created the port from scratch - Standard TCP/IP port, IP address of my Airport Express, device type Generic Network Card, raw port 9100. Won't print.
    Anybody managed to get this going?
    Thanks in advance and Best Regards,
    alex

    Try Port 9101

  • How do I print via airport express from my iPad?, How do I print via airport express from my iPad?

    Use the application Printopia.

  • I cannot print wirelessly to Canon PIXMA 560 using Airport Extreme and Vista PC.  Printer worked fine with Netgear previously.  With USB from printer direct to Laptop it will print.  The printer is definitely set up correctly to acknowledge the router.  W

    When I connect the printer to the Airport via USB and run Bonjour, it recognizes that I have a Canon printer but does not have the mp560 as one of the choices.
    I spoke with Apple support but they could not help...they said they thought it was a Windows issue and that it had something to do with one of the ports needing to get "unstuck" or something like that...this is really annoying because while the Airport is so much better than the Netgear it defeats the purpose of having the wireless printer, which worked so well previously.
    Can anyone offer advice?  Thanks.

    Unfortunately, not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations. In addition, the  AirPort's USB port does not support the "advanced" printer functions, like scanning, copying or faxing, of multi-function printers. 
    To see if your printer is compatible, take a look at thisiFelix Unofficial AirPort Printer Compatibility link. If your printer isn't listed, it doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, but simply that it has not been verified. iFelix also provides the following workaround for printers not on the list that would certainly be worth a try.
    Also you can try this Apple Tech Support article to see if it will help: Printer troubleshooting for AirPort Base Stations and Time Capsule
    Finally, check out this IBM support article to see if your printer is listed as having a Postscript or PCL3 interface. If it does, then it will most likely work with the AirPort's USB port. Printers that use the "HP LIDIL" interface must be connected to a computer directly and will not work.

  • I need Printer Software for Canon PIXMA MP600

    I have just replaced my startup hard drive. I installed OS X 10.10.2 and then migrated everything from Time Machine that I had backed up from my failed start up disk. Now I get an alert that software is not available for this printer. Canon says me that they do not provide the driver, but when I try to set this printer up in system preferences, I get an Alert message "The software for this printer is currently unavailable. Please contact the pritner's manufacturer for the latest software." The available Gutenprint software does not implement all the features of this printer.
    This printer is available on my network through my Airport Extreme Base Station. My other iMac, also running Yosemite, prints apparently has the correct software and prints as expected.

  • 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.

  • Manage Airport Express from Windows computer

    Is it possible to manage the Airport Express from a Windows computer?
    Most of the posts here deal with connection problems from windows to the device - my problem is that I no longer have a macintosh and so I no longer have access to the airport admin utilty.
    Does Apple provide a set of admin tools that run on Windows?

    It does not work for the airport express. At least I have been unable to get it to work. "An error occurred while trying to access the base station" Is the error I get. iTunes has no problem playing it.
    I used to be able to access my Airport Expresses with the software that came with it. But unfortunately I lost my disk and can 't find the right software to download anywhere. It's all for the airport and not the airport express.
    Very disappointed with Apple's support for such an expensive device.

  • Can't print Canon Pixma via Airport Express

    I am at my wits end. I can't print to my Canon Pixma 830 when the usb is connected to the aiport express (I can print when plugged directly into my ibook). I upgraded my base station to v6.3 from 6.2, and did all basic troubleshooting (restart, unplug/replug, etc.) and still no luck.
    Any suggestions?

    The Canon UFR2 and CAPT printer drivers for OS X do not work when the printer is connected to the USB port of an Airport device, or even a 3rd party print server. This has always been a limitation of the Canon UFR2 and CAPT for OS X.
    FWIF - The Canon inkjets work fine with the printer connected to the Airport USB port.

  • Unable to print to my Oki C3200 via Airport Express

    I wish to print wirelessly via Airport Express using my Oki C3200 printer. I have followed all the recommended install procedures.
    I am using a Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit PC, have configured the printer with Bonjour for Windows, and still cannot print.
    The printer works fine if connected by USB direct to the PC.
    Any help appreciated.

    Yes, my iMac is hooked to my Airport Extreme through it's ethernet port.
    No, I don't have AIM.

  • HT3669 Failed printer setup, bonjour via airport express on 10.8.3, unable to download drivers?

    Trying to install a Samsung SCX-4500 printer over bonjour via airport express. My Mountain Lion machine sees the printer and I've manually installed the latest Samsung drivers, it says it can't find the software on Apple's servers. I just downloaded the latest drivers from Samsung directly, it did not resolve the problem.
    I am unable to select printer drivers manually for the 4500; even if I manually select the 4500W drivers it still attempts to download software (unsuccessfully). It works perfectly on 2 Lion machines and a PC, unsure what the deal is.
    I'm having trouble even getting the post message' button to work now, it isn't my day...

  • Printer Spooling via Airport Express...

    My G4 is connected via Airport Express to a printer. It has worked fine, in the past, but now when trying to print, it appears to connect but then a message reads, "spooling" and hangs without ever printing. What should I do to correct this, please?

    Have you tried posting this in the "Airport Express" Category of the Forum?
    If not, I'd suggest that as you may get more help there.
