Scanning using Airport and an HP printer

If I use a HP printer with Airport Extreme and a Windows Vista computer, will I still be able to scan?

Definitely get an "all-in-one" that's designed to be networked, either by Ethernet you plug into the Airport or wirelessly. They cost only a few dollars more than those that aren't, and any of them will work fine on an Airport network.
Even some USB-only printers *won't work* with the AirPort USB port. Research before you buy!

  • I can print from my macbook pro using airport express usb connected printer, however my iPad is looking for an airprint printer.  Can I direct the iPad to the usb connected printer.  Both macbook and iPad confirm a wifi connection through the airport exp.

    You will need to install an App like Print Central on the iPad to try to print to the printer. It will allow you to print to most printers. Check with their support folks if you need more info.

    Hi Professor66,
    I have a couple of suggestions for you regarding this issue. Here are two links to users who have posted similar questions to yours and have found their answers in the responses to their posts:
    Safari hangs when loading web pages. | Apple Support Communities
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3784708
    Safari loading blank pages | Apple Support Communities
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3899912
    I would suggest that you first follow the troubleshooting that the OP did in the second link, which is to test in a new user account to see if the behavior is consistent. If it is, you may need to address the issue at a software level by re-installing Safari. More information on this process can be found in the following article:

  • Using Airport And Ethernet Together

    Having read Christopher Breen's solution to using Airport and Ethernet together,
    http://www.macworld.com/weblogs/mac911/2006/10/airportswitch/index.php
    I am still wondering if this can apply to my situation. I have an Airport Exteme BS distributing the wireless signal on it's own node. Nothing is physically connected to the BS except an ethernet cable running to a hub which is connected to the cable modem. While my ISP service isn't supplying service faster than Airport will manage, no problem...but, I would like to have the advantage ethernet networking between my machines for all the advantages that ethernet speed can bring to that situation.
    My connection to the internet is from WAN from the cable modem. I have an ethernet connection from the BS that I can run a cable back to say, an iBook. Will this work? I want wireless internet, but ethernet for machine to machine networking.

    Helpful response, but I am uncertain this is what I am after. First, the hub is at the other end of the house, inconvenient to run a cable to it in this way. Presently, "Distribute IP Addresses" is turned off. This is way it had to be set since the AEBS is on a separate node. I just wonder why I can't run a cable from the AEBS LAN port back to the iBook. Looking for best possible speed when networking from my studio G4 while keeping the wireless internet setting.
    Any reason making the config the way I am imagining will not work?

    I don't know much about computers, so please be patient. I started using Airport and I recently noticed a "network" option right below "Macintosh HD". When I click on "network" it shows "b67446000000" with a computer monitor icon and "connection failed". When I right click on this and select "Get more info" it displays nothing, just the spinning wheel. When I select "Connect As" it asked for my password to connect to "Server b67446000000". This may have been on my computer since I got it, I never paid much attention. Is this part of the operating system or has someone hijacked my computer? Why would I need a server...it's just me and my one computer? Maybe someone has hacked in through Airport? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Is your airport a Time Capsule.. if so it is able to serve files on the network.
    The number is the MAC address of the network in the router.
    Please reset the apple router whatever is and redo the setup.. this time give it a simple name.. eg TCgenX where X is the actual gen of the unit and give it a simple wireless name.. TCwifi and a simple password with 8-20 characters mix of upper and lower case and numbers.
    Perhaps even better give me a screenshot from the computer of the airport utility showing me the Airport with its MAC address.

  • I allowed Apple updates about two weeks ago and now Safari is way too slow.  I have tried using Airport and Ethernet and the problem is the same.  Yesterday, I updgraded to Safari 5.1 and the problem is now worse.  Any solutions?

    I allowed Apple updates about two weeks ago and now Safari is way too slow.   I have tried using Airport and Ethernet and the problem is the same.  Yesterday, I upgraded to Safari 5.1 and now the problem is worse.  Any solutions?

    I can't stand peremptory affirmations like "Nothing is wrong with Safari".
    Thousands of users can't be wrong (see the discussions).
    If I read you the right way, it's never software' fault, it's the user who's the culprit.
    Amazing!
    In this very case, the fact is we can't give to "christinefromfonthill" a good solution because weren't sitting in front of her Mac.
    You give her a good advice which could, perhaps, lead to an improvement.
    But must also admit that Safari is a very slow browser compared to Firefox or Chrome.
    And you can't ignore all the problems which arose when upgrading to Lion and were related to the new build and specs of Safari 5.1.
    The best example is the apparition of "garbage type" (use of Last Resort font) when reading numerous sites. This never occured before and is the direct consequence of Safari compliance to Web Open Type. This standard prohibits the use of Type 1 Postscript Fonts and is the reason why so many people are in trouble.
    I use a Mac for more than 25 years.
    I am a very "clean" user who hates the bells and whistles of third party.
    My Mac is always up-to-date and despite all my Mac loving care, I run into some problems.
    Imagine the nightmare which can occurs for the vulgum pecus who isn't, by definition, a power user aware of all the requirements for running a System in optimal conditions.
    May be Safari is one step in advance on its time but lambda users are paying the price for it.

  • Scanning using C410a and iMac Yosemite 10.10 OS

    I am unable to scan more than a single page.  I have tried the Mac scanning software as well as two HP methods - connecting to the printer's webpage and double clicking the printer icon.  I am able to scan a single page, but have some difficulty saving the image.  I am cannot find a way to scan a multi page document -  there appears to be no multi page prompt or option.  Anyone have any thoughts?

    Hello @doughboy914,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand that you're experiencing issues when attempting to scan from your HP Photosmart Premium Fax e-All-in-One C410a Printer to your Mac OS X 10.10 computer. I would like to assist you today with resolving this issue. Now, due to the age of your printer HP does not have a downloadable Full Feature Software and Driver available for this model of printer on the Mac OS X 10.10 computer. Therefore, you are relying solely on an Apple Update driver in order to use the functions of your machine. Because you are only able to scan single page documents only there is a chance that the Apple Update driver failed to load successfully for your machine. To correct any software or driver conflicts that may be occuring, can I please have you follow the steps below.

  • Airport and Colour Laser Printer Sharing-Any recommendations for a printer?

    Hi,
    I am looking for reasonably priced (about 400-600USD) colour laser printer that I could hooked up to my Airport Express' USB connection.
    Would anyone has any recommadations for a type&model?
    One option that I have been examing is Epson's Aculaser C1100. Any experiences with this one?
    I could go with C1100N model with LAN connection, but I would love share the printer wirelessly (without the extra effort of rearranging my ip address environment..)
    Thanks,
    Tuure
    Mac OS X (10.4.4)

    You are righ, i own a eculaser 1100 connected via airport express too. It works without any problem, if useing power pcs. If I try to prit using an intel mac, the new intel driver will hang up and the printer driver told me an interface type error -1. Epson support told me to ask the manufacturer of my os... Haha, like i said before it works with the old driver for power pc (V 2.3 ?) but for intel mac you have to use V3.0. And only this will not work. Does anyone have an idea for me? PowerPC works fine, win dows xp using bonjour prints fine too. Connection the aculaser directly to the mac book pro will work too, but using airport will no print me anything using the intel mac

  • Home Wifi Network Issue using Airport and 2 BT Hub...

    I'm having problems getting my home network set up without IP conflicts.  Any advice much appreciated...
    Here's what I've currently got:
    BT Broadband Unlimted
    Hub 2.0 connected to broadband line - wireless network switched off
    Apple Airport Time Capsule connected to Hub 2.0 by WAN cable (Airport running in Bridge mode)
    Various Apple devices (MBP, iMac, iPhones, iPads, iPod), PS3 and Sony Surround Sound connected to Airport with wifi.
    Wifi extender connected to Airport by wifi (obviously) for upstairs - PS3 and occassionally MBP connected to that)
    Ethernet cable from Airport to a Hub 1.5 in the Garden Office with MBP and HP Printer then connected to Hub 1.5 with wifi.
    HDD connected to Airport with USB cable.
    Everything was working fine until I ran the ethernet cable to the office and connected the Hub 1.5.  It worked fine in the office, wifi connected, I could see the internet and the Airport and the connected HDD.
    However, at this point, the iMac back in the house, which connects to the Airport wifi network, sometimes connects to the internet, sometimes doesn't.  It connected to the Wifi fine, just won't connect to the Internet. It was stopping at the Hub2.0 "Default Gateway" (according to traceroute).  Switching wifi networks on the iMac (e.g. Airport 2.5Ghz to Airport 5GHz, or Airport to FON or Airport to the Office Wifi) fixes the internet connection problem, until next time I try to connect.
    This only affects the iMac.  The MBPs, iPhones etc have no problems connecting to wither wifi or the Internet...
    I figured it must be an IP addressing problem due to the Hub1.5 conflicting with the IP address range configured for the Hub2.0, so I tried to re-configure this on the Hub1.5 in the Office.  
    However, to get to the Hub Manager, I had to disconnect the Ehternet cable (otherwise it just went to the Hub2.0 Hub Manager).  Once I did this and reset the Hub1.5 to factory settings, I could see the Hub1.5 Manager.  However, if I click on Advanced and enter the password (after restting it with the SN) I can't see any of the advances menu options in the left hand panel (e.g. IP Addresses).  So I can't change the IP address range.
    Any ideas how I can get to see the IP Address options on the Hub1.5?
    I also tried setting a static IP address on the iMAC, but it won't let me - just says IP address already in use when I try to change it to one in the range set on the Hub2.
    Worse thing is, now that I've reset the Hub1.5, the Internet connection keeps dropping on that as well now.  It works fine for a few minutes then drops and I have to turn wifi off and on again, or disconnect and reconnect the ethernet cable to get the Internet to connect again, then it drops after a few minutes.
    So, I've gone from the iMac not working to the iMac and the office hub1.5 not working properly, and all I've really done is reset the hub1.5 to factory settings...
    Shall I just get rid of the 1.5 and buy a different wifi router for the office?
    Should I be able to change the IP address range on the 1.5?
    Any other ideas?
    Any help much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Have you tried running the TC not in bridge mode?
    In airport utility, instead of selecting bridge mode, select share a public ip address. You will get an advisory warning from the TC but just opt to ignore it.
    This way all of the DHCP is handled by the TC and the HH1.5 and none by the HH2.
    Otherwise a replacement for the HH1.5 might be called for - perhaps and airport extreme.

  • TibookG4 freezes in new home when using airport and walking around to anoth

    Since I moved, in my new house I only receive my Airport extreme Basestation in a small distance of about 6 meters. When I walk with my G4 Titaniumbook (with normal (old) airportcard) to the kitchen, it freezes! My boyfriend who has a PC, has no problem at all...There are no microwaves or other magetic/electrical power obsticals. I rebooted the Basestation soft and hard, I updated my OS to 10.4.8 and updated the airportsoftware too , althought I always do this automatically by the 'software updater'. What is specific at it, is when I start up in the kitchen (problem-airea), the finder only starts up with the spotlight-icon; no time-, battery and other indicators. And the cursor doesn't work. The only thing I can do is (when I want to work in the kitchen), walk back to the living, reboot the mac by pushing 6 seconds the powerbutton, disable airport, and go back to the kitchen to work, but without wireless...
    There are about 6 other wirelessstations here in the area, so I also tried to change the chanels. No improvements.
    A friend of mine visited me with a Powerbook 12"(with a airport extreme card). She discovered in the first place no problems at all while I did. But after a while, (because more wireless networks were active???) she couldn/t receive the airport aswell...
    Is there somebody who recongnizes this problem? And can help me?
    Thanks a lot!

    I don't have any solutions, but I had been reading about some folks having airport related kernel panics in the MacBook discussion forum. As a matter of fact, I had a kernel panic a little while back on my MacBook, and the crash log pointed to some issues with airport drivers. Here is what Macfixit says about these drivers and I quote:
    "Bad built-in hardware (including hard drives) Repeated kernel panics can be the result of incompatible, damaged or misconfigured built-in hardware. This includes built in AirPort, Bluetooth and other networking hardware, corrupt or damaged hard drives, faulty processors and more. Examine your crash log (as discussed in our tutorial "An introduction to reading Mac OS X crash reports") for clues as to which device is implicated.
    Sometimes the fix is as simple as re-seating built-in hardware. Make sure any PCI, PCI Express, AirPort and other expansion-type hardware is firmly and properly seated in its appropriate port.
    In other cases, the fix involves attacking the problem at a driver or kernel extension level. Again, examine your crash reports and look for components specifically linked to certain hardware. For instance, the following Mac OS X components are all used by Apple AirPort hardware, and can be implicated (by crash logs) in kernel panics:
    com.apple.driver.AirPortAtheros5424(100.21)
    com.apple.iokit.IONetworkingFamily(1.5.0)
    com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily(1.9)
    com.apple.iokit.IO80211Family(110.19)
    After determining device-specific components, you can try re-installing them -- either by performing an "Archive and Install" of Mac OS X, or downloading and manually placing items."

  • Using Airport Express for wireless printing and possibly streaming music

    I have had the toughest time figuring out this Airport Express. It seems there are so many different ways to set it up. I've tried to read forums but just can't seem to wrap my head around what I need to do. I tried awhile back to join my network wirelessly but was having problems.
    I don't really care about extending my current network. My internet service is through Verizon Fios and the router they provided works just fine and don't have any issues with connecting anywhere in the house. I bought the AE to be able to print wirelessly and stream music from my iMac in another room.
    So to print wirelessly obviously the printer has to be plugged in to the AE, but does the AE have to be plugged into my router? Or can I have the AE anywhere in the house wherever the printer is? When I print, am I using my existing network or do I have to disconnect a computer from the wireless network and access a 2nd network to be able to print?
    My first priority is to print wirelessly. If I can get it to work It'd be cool to stream music from my iMac. Obviously the AE needs to be where the speakers are, but again, does the AE have to plugged in to the router? And again, is this done through my existing network? Or do I have to stream music through a 2nd network? I apologize if i'm asking the same questions that have been asked in previous forums, I just haven't been successful thus far so wanted to see what response or tips I could get. Thanks.
    My existing network has "WPA Personal" security set up on it if you need to know that.

    but does the AE have to be plugged into my router? Or can I have the AE anywhere in the house wherever the printer is?
    If you configure the Express correctly to "join" your FIOS wireless network, you can position it anywhere that it will receive a good, strong wireless signal.
    The trick to setting the Express up to "join" is that you must choose exactly the same type of security for the Express as your main router is using. This is tricky when you are using devices from two different manufacturers because they often use different names for the same thing.
    For example, when you say that the FIOS is setup to WPA Personal, we really need more information. There's usually a TKIP or AES associated with WPA. You have two choices on the Express for WPA settings, WPA2 Personal or WPA/WPA2 Personal. We can only guess which one might be the correct match for your FIOS network and if you don't choose the right setting, the Express cannot join the network and you have to start the configuration all over again from scratch and try the other setting.
    Does your Fios have a setting for WPA2 Personal? Some manufacturers label this WPA2-PSK (AES). Or, maybe you find that your FIOS is using WPA-PSK (TKIP), which is the same thing as Apple WPA/WPA2 Personal. It's confusing. That's why we tell users to choose wireless gear from the same manufacturer. It's much easier when two devices talk the same language.
    When I print, am I using my existing network or do I have to disconnect a computer from the wireless network and access a 2nd network to be able to print?
    If you have a compatible printer plugged into the USB port on the AirPort Express and have "installed" the printer by setting it up, you will be able to print over your existing wireless network.
    First things first. You need to get the Express setup to "join" correctly and get a green light. Then, tackle the printer setup.

  • How do I use Airport and Uverse?

    I've got a Mac Mini connected to the internet via Uverse and on board airport.  I also just connected an iPad to the same Uverse router.  I have an unused Airport Extreme that I bought before I found out I couldn't use it with the printers I had then.  I've since bought a printer that is wireless compatible but connected to the Mini via DSL cable.  I'd like to be able to print from my iPad.  What I'd like to do is hook the printer's DSL cable into the Airport Extreme and print wirelessly from both the Mini and the iPad.  Is there a way to do this?  Or would I have to run a DSL line though the whole house from the printer to the Uverse router? 
    By the way, I'm using Snow Leopard.

    First I assume that you mean "Ethernet" for where you state "DSL."
    If your printer is wireless-ready, you should not have to connect it to any router via Ethernet. Instead, you would configure the printer to connect directly to the wireless network provided by the Uverse wireless gateway.
    The title of your post also includes using an AirPort router with your Uverse. How you (or even if you need to) use the AirPort will depend on what your networking requirements are. For example do you want the AirPort to extend the wireless range of the Uverse?
    As far as printing from your iPad. iOS devices, like your iPad, use AirPrint to print to network printers. If your new printer is AirPrint-enabled, then you should be able to print directly from the iPad to it. If, on the other hand, it is not, then you would need another solution to get this to work. One would be Printopia.
