10.5.3: can't print via Time Capsule

This week, I bought Time Capsule for at home, replacing the AirPort Express we had. I also upgraded my iBook G4 to Leopard (and installed 10.5.3, via ComboUpdater) to by au par with my wife's MacBook (which came with Leopard, and was also upgraded to 10.5.3, via ComboUpdater).
Our printer is a HP LaserJet 1300, connected via USB to Time Capsule (was connected via USB to the AirPort Express).
On my iBook G4 and now with Leopard, I installed the printer (System Preferences) - and now I can't print. I've spent the last couple of hours Resetting printing systems, Resetting Time Capsules, browsing these forums - all to no avail. *Utter frustration!*
Can anybody *especially from Apple* shed a light on what the problem is?
We had two Apple notebooks with 10.4.11, a laser printer and AirPort Express - and it worked fine (printed with no hassles). Now we still have two Apple notebooks, both with 10.5.3, and our laser printer connected to Time Capsule - and we just can't print.
While delving into this mess now, I also connected my iBook straight to the printer (via USB), and could print. But I cannot imagine this to be the solution!!!
Thanks for any help!

Hi Jan
My TC had to be replaced by apple because it wouldn't show any printers or external hard drives connected via usb. I ended up spending hours on the phone to apple ts and in the end I took my printer and lacie hd to a friend who had a tc and he connected both up to his tc straight away. Apple finally had to replace my TC. The replacement works fine.

Can you print to an Ethernet only printer via Time Capsule

Hi all, I'm hoping to get some help before buying a Time Capsule.
I run a small home office, I have Pro Mac desktop and an 17" Macbook Pro, my wife runs a Powerbook. We output to a A3 colour Epson Aculaser AL 8600. Our current set up is to print share back to the Pro Mac which is beside the big laser printer in the attic.
Can we all connect the printer to the ethernet port on the Time Capsule and have a reliable access to print wirelessly? Or can you only print via USB?
Many thanks in advance of any help received.....

Thanks for the reply, I was thinking the same too, however any searches or posts here indicate you can only print via the usb port, plus, to confuse me even more, my local mac store suggested I buy an airport express with the time capsule and connect the express to the printer so it can talk to the capsule! Yeah! even though the capsule has ethernet ports....
I still need opinions form users who have done this?

Using Printer via Time Capsule for Windows

Hi,
Could you please guide me how can I use printer connect to my time capsule from windows based PC. I can do it from my mac but unable to print it from Windows PC.
I have also downloaded Bonjour, it detects my HP printer 1018 but when it comes to driver it is not able to locate also tried so many different option for the driver but unfortuntely no luck so somebody please guide me to print (HP Laserjet 1018 printer) from windows connected via Time Capsule 2TB.

When you setup the printer choose a local printer.. then change the port to TCP/IP and type in the IP of the TC.
Complete the setup.. and choose the 1018 HP printer drivers.
That should be all there is to it.
Download the airport utility for windows and see if the printer is there.
Ensure you have the TC setup in WORKGROUP for file sharing.
Make sure the computer is in home.. not work or public.
Make sure you do not have homegroup activated.
If that doesn't work turn off the firewall and try again.

How CAN I PRINT FROM TIME CAPSULE?

I've set up Time Capsule through Airport utility and Time Machine but had some problems doing so. Consequently, it was set up with print cable still hooked to iMac. Now that Time Capsule is functioning as a backup for my files, I've tried to print from Time Capsule to my HP PSC 1610 printer. I've transfered my print cable from iMac to Time Capsule and tried to make any changes necessary to print from it. But it doesn't work. What am I possibly doing wrong? I've tried following page 28 of Time Capsule setup guide (If your printer isn't responding) but that has not helped.

My HP8000 ptr will not print via time capsule showing problem as "...short read". I've reset the printing sys on both MacBooks and the iBOOK? Can you help?

I have been using a HP8000 printer via the USB connection on a TimeCapsule using wifi from a MacBook, MacBookPro and an iMAC (ethernet connected to Time Capsule) for a couple years before the printing stopped with a message of ".....short read" The printer still functions when directly connected to a Mac via a USB cable. Help???

Suggest that you work your way through Apple's Printer Troubleshooting Guide to see if you can get things going again.
The last item....reset printing system....will often work when all else fails, but try the other steps first.

Can't connect macbook to wireless printer via time capsule

I recently installed time capsule as my lan router. i use a 10.6.8 macbook; i use a brother mfc-6490 printer wireless. the printer was working fine on my previous setup, which used just a normal wireless router. the printer sees the wireless network but i can't print to it from my macbook. i've reinstalled the drivers. any suggestions?

Did you delete the existing printer in System Preferences > Print & Fax, and add it again?
I realize you reinstalled the printer's drivers, but deleting and subsequently adding the printer is certain to be a requirement as a consequence of changing your router. As far as your MacBook is concerned, the printer no longer exists where it had been accustomed to finding it, so you simply have to tell it where it "lives" now.

Connecting PC to Printer VIA Time Capsule?

I have an HP Printer that's running Windows 7, I have it connected via ethernet cable to my Time Capsule. I also have an HP C5180 printer connected to the Time Capsule via USB cable.
I have the printer connected to the Time Capsule so I can also access it with my Macbook Pro. That part is working fine, BUT... Windows is not detecting the printer. How do i set everything up so I can use the printer with the PC?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

TS1253 Print via Time Capsule without being connected to my router

My router and my printer are in two different places.
It all prints well when the TC (Time Capsule) is connected via Ethernet cable to my router and printer connected via USB to TC
Can I use Time Capsule to print even if it is not connected to the router via Ethernet cable?
My TC is connected via USB to the printer but TC is not connected to the router because the TC and the router are not in the same place. Why can't I print via wi-fi?
Thanks,
l.cello

If I want a fast backup I use the Ethernet cable.
The Ethernet ports are not enabled when you configure the Time Capsule to "join" the network using wireless only. You can only backup using wireless, whether you have Ethernet connected or not. Apparently, the "support" folks did not tell you about this.
I just do not see why this setup would take longer.
You are kidding, correct?
Gigabit Ethernet is 1,000 Mbps.
With a fantastic wireless connection, you might get 200-250 Mbps. Most users see about 100-130 Mbps.
As for why your Time Capsule setup will take twice as long as normal wireless .....
Backups have to make a wireless "double hop". Hop one is from your Mac to the wireless router. Hop two is from the wireless router back to the Time Capsule. Two hops = double the time.
Since you can only use wireless, your actual backup speed will be in the range of 100-125 Mbps, maximum. When you try your first backup on a Mac, it will likely take days, not a few hours as it should.
Since you have another hard drive attached to the Time Capsule, any copies of transfers to this drive will be exceedingly slow as well.
Unfortunately, the support folks did you no favors by providing the steps to this type of installation.
At least, they could have told you about the downsides.....which can all be avoided by connecting your Time Capsule to your modem/router using an Ethernet cable as the Setup Guide recommends.
thought that another reason to have and use a TC is to be able to use USB peripherals connected to the TC in wi-fi, like printers. This was the center of my question to start with.
Easy to do if the Time Capsule is connected to your modem/router using an Ethernet cable.
If you will, let us know how long that first backup of your Mac takes using your setup.

Can't print through Time Capsule using Windows-operating computers

I've just bought a time capsule 500GB and it's working fine. It backups my macbook every hour and I can easily print whatever file I want through my Canon iP1800 series, which is connect to WAN port of my time capsule.
However, I have others 2 notebooks running windows, and I can't print from them wirelessly. I've installed the airport utility and Bonjour in both computers using the CD that came with my time capsule and I followed these instructions of an old topic here (_but it didn't work out_):
“1. Make sure the printer is recognized by the base station.
2. Select 'Add a new printer' in Windows
3. Select 'Local Printer' in the dialog box (auto detect and install
should be off), click next.
4. Choose 'Create a new port' and "Standard TCP/IP Port'. Click next.
5. For the printer IP address, enter the address of the base station 10.0.1.1. The port name will be filled automatically. Click next.
6. For the device type, choose 'Hewlet Packard Jet Direct', then click Finish.
Choose your printer from the list and follow the rest of the prompts to install and configure the driver.”
Do someone have any idea to tell me what's happening? How can I fix this problem and have Mac and Windows laptops printing through my time capsule?
Thanks

When you installed bonjour did the Bonjour Print Wizard appear on your desktop? Or in the program menu?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3052?viewlocale=en_US
In my personal experience Bonjour sometimes doesn't install properly and doesn't appear on either the desktop or program menu, particularly if it is installed at the same time as another piece of apple software. Each of the times this happened I removed bonjour, using Windows Setup:Add/Remove programs, and then downloaded it again individually.
If you have the same experience as me you'll then be asked if you want to install a shortcut to the printer wizard. The wizard has done the trick for me. I've not yet had to resort to the rather more complicated "add new printer" route.

Do a google around for that printer and airport usb.. (since airport is more common).
eg. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1785847?start=0&tstart=0
Not all printers work or work well through usb print server.. often the drivers are just not written for remote usb connection. Or the printer is GDI type and actually needs direct connection to process the job.
Proper network inkjet printers are cheap.. keep the Canon connected to a computer if you want.. and get a wireless or ethernet network printer.. do not use the USB.. use the printers own internal print server.. and these days make sure it does airprint if you want to use iOS devices.
Remember the printer is cheap.. the companies make all their money on blades ink cartridges. Which they now add chips to, to prevent you cheating and buying OEM types.

How do I manage to setup my Canon to print via Time Capsule

Dear MacGurus
I've got a Canon MP520 printer/scanner that I've connected to my MacBook Air (OS X 10.8.1) and works well with printing & scanning. Just received my 2TB Time Capsule and want to set it up as a printerserver. I've joined it to my local WLAN that connects to Internet and set it up with Time lapse for backup.
Now, plugging the MP520 USB into the back of the TC I go to System Preferences -> Print & Scan. Here I naturally see the MP520 being unplugged from my McBook Air (as it is now plugged in to the TC...) Anyway, I click the small [+]-icon and selects "Add new printer or scanner". Here I now see the "Canon MP520 series" listed as a "Bonjour"/printer with Location on my TC. Selecting it and clicking "Add" a pop/says "Setting up Canon MP520 series-2, downloading software" and the progress par reaches some 30% progress when I get the following error message:
"Can't install the software for the Canon MP520 series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."
What is the problem? The printer works fine locally, but not over the air. Is it not supported by Bonjuor?
Kind regards
Niclas

Much more likely they don't have network drivers for ML.. try downloading whatever software is required directly and then installing it instead of allowing auto install.

USB connected printer won't print via Time Capsule

When I go into my Airport Utility, the Time Capsule says that the the printer is connected, but whenever I try to print I get a "Printer Offline" error message.
Any suggestions for what I can try to remedy the situation? Is there anything else you need to know?
Thanks in advance.

Can't print through Time Capsule, but I can using USB to my MacBook

I posted something similar in the Time Capsule forum, but thought I'd try here too. I just got a new Canon MF4690, and I can print to it using USB from my MacBook just fine. Not so when printing wirelessly through Time Capsule. I can see the printer, but the job stops every time. When I set up the printer the driver is "generic" using the Time Capsule connection, but has the specific model number when I add the printer using USB.
I can see the printer in the Printer preference pane, and in Airport Utility, but when I print a job, under "status", it says "stopped". I'm baffled that this is happening! I hope someone can help.

Would I connect my Canon to the TC and set up the printer? Do I choose IP, AppleTalk or Other?
If the TC is providing the wireless access and is your only Ethernet hub, then yes you would connect directly to it. If you have another Ethernet hub connected to the TC, then you could connect the Canon to it. Either way, you want to use the Ethernet connection of the Canon and set a valid ip address in it.
With an ip address set, you can then add the printer by using the More Printers > Canon IP (UFR2) menu. This window lets you enter the ip address of the Canon and a queue name of LP. Then when you press okay, the UFR2 software should select the correct driver for your printer.

MacBook Pro can't print through Time Capsule

I seem to be completely unable to get my 15" MacBook Pro to print to an Epson Stylus Photo R260 printer connected to a Time Capsule. I send documents to the printer, and the print queue indicates that it prints, but nothing comes out.
The issue seems to be limited to my MacBook Pro, as my wife can print to it from her white MacBook, and we are both running 10.5.8. I have already tried a permissions repair and restarting the computer. Is there anything else I can try?

Incidentally, I found this knowledgebase article on the subject:

I tried all the steps, but still no luck.

Wireless printing via time capsule

i have my Kodak printer connected to the Time Capsule but can not figure out how to print.

Welcome to the discussions!
Try Apple's guide for printing to see if that will help gets things going.

Bear in mind that not all printers are compatible and there's really no reliable way to know whether your device will work unless you try it.
