10.5.6 fixes printing to Airport Extreme and HP Printers

I haven't been able to print to my HP Laserjet 1012 ever since upgrading to Snow Leopard. This was a known issue and the thread was locked:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10247021#10247021
This works great now. I thought you all should know.

My epson and canon printers are not working either. What the **** is this update? So far it's done me no good.

Printing with a USB printer using Airport Extreme and Vista

I have a airport extreme and it prints fine with all of my Macs.
I bought a VAIO installed with Vista and the lastest service pack. Here is what I have done
* Installed Bonjour Printing software on the Windows Machine
* Installed the print drivers on the Windows Machine
* Bonjour finds the printer and driver without any problem
* When I test the printer will print either one page or half of one page and then I get an error message.
* I enabled the UDP 5353 port in the Firewall
The printer is a Epson Photo R220
I have no problems with the Macintosh works great and I have no problems with the Windows machine connecting to the Airport for internet usage.
If anyone out there has a solution I would very appreciative.
Thanks

No help from the forum. I used Bonjour for Windows.

Problem printing with Airport extreme and Windows Vista

I have just purchased a HP Laserjet printer that I have connected to my airport extreme. When I turn on Bonjour, my computer detects the printer, but when I try to configure it, a message apears saying I don't have the authorisation to do so...
Please tell me if you have any idea how to solve this!

I just got off the HP "chat" technical assistance about my HP DV6500z doing this same thing. At least for my model there is an October BIOS update. She had me re-install the Broadcom drivers and run the BIOS update. Now the whole computer runs faster in addition to connecting wirelessly! Not only that, I can use the "closed" network feature through the Airport Utility to hide my network as I did in the past and the PC finds it! I guess through all of the very testy notes on HP's discussion board they finally came through (well, at least on this model). My model has the AMD processor so if yours is Intel it may not be the same. I recommend going to their TA chat line or type in your model on their Software & Driver page to see if there is a recent revision on your models BIOS. The one I downloaded was dated 10-2007.

Can't print with Airport Extreme and Canon MP610

Can anyone suggest a way around this?
I am unable to print using my new Canon MP610 multifunction printer when connected via my Airport Extreme, but I can print when connecting the printer to my computer directly, not using the Airport Extreme. After several hours of frustration, updating drivers and firmware, etc, I contacted Canon and received an email back stating:
"MP610 is not supported by
Canon with a wireless connection through an Apple Airport. This does
not necessarily mean that it will not work, but we are not able to
provide configuration and troubleshooting information."
Last summer, my daughter was able to use the same Extreme to print wirelessly using her Mac Book Pro and her Canon MP600 multifunction printer (note - different printer model).
Sounds like Canon isn't saying it won't work, but they cant' help.
If anyone can offer a suggestion to work around this, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,
Doug

The most comprehensive set of troubleshooting instructions for printing problems involving Airport printers is found at:

It is possible your printer simply cannot be made to work in this manner, and is more often than not a problem with multifunction printers.

Wireless printing with airport extreme and uverse modem

Hi,
I'm trying to hook up an airport express so that my PC Windows 7 and Mac Mini mid 2011 can print to both of my laser printers.
The dell is network attached and the oki is network attached as well as usb attached directly to the express.
Both systems see the printers but when i send a print job from the MAC it just errors out. If i send it from the pc like normal then it still works ok.
I also can't see either printer from my iPad 2 running iOS 5.0.1
Right now I'm running a UVerse 3800 router/modem and i have the airport express ethernet connected to one of the lan ports of the uverse router.
All printer drivers are current as well as the MAC software.
Help

The dell is network attached and the oki is network attached as well as usb attached directly to the express.
If both printers are Network-Ready, then there is no need to connect either to the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) by USB. Being Network-Ready, these printers have their own built-in print servers which should be controllable by their front-panel interface and/or via a web-based interface.
I also can't see either printer from my iPad 2 running iOS 5.0.1
Unless both printers are AirPrint-enabled, no iOS device will be able to print to them directly.

Airport Extreme and Printing : is there a solution

HI all,
I have gone through many topics on printing with airport extreme and I have seen a lot of people like me having the same problem : the printer plugged to the usb port of the Airport Extreme is visible but can not print.
People tried to change firmware, plug unplug the printer, etc... But it seems that there is no solution
Is there really any solution ?
It is the first time I see an Apple Product which such problems ... Is there anyone from Apple who can answer this problem ?
Thanks in advance

I HAVE THE SOLUTION (AT LEAST IT WORKS FOR ME !!)
Thanks to another post (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1201663&tstart=0) :
I changed the USB Cable, and now it works perfectly.(souns so simple ... but it worked) (it is strange, because I was able to print through usb with my old cable ..)
Many thanks for this help

Printing to a USB printer via Airport Extreme

I recently purchased an Airport Extreme and connected it to an ADSL router using ethernet. The router is then connected to my company network (PC, Windows, hubs etc). On the AE USB port, I also connected a Sansumg ML-1710P printer which works fine if I connect it directly to my Macbook.
I can add the printer (bonjour) but when I order it to print, the job with start and then just stop and the status indicated "error".
Did try several suggestion from this discussion including using the 10.4.7 combo update, update the CPUS to 1.2.1, connect/disconnect, download new driver without success.
Anyone has any suggestion? Thanks.

Normaly this connection the way you describe it won't work.
The Airport Extreme Base Station is a Router as well
It is normaly done from the Internet Service Providers Modem with an ethernet cable to the Airport Extreme Base connected to the little cicle of dots on the back. It is set to distribute IP's and DCHP and then the arrows pointing away from one another is then cabled to the other Router and then plug in the printer to the Airport Extreme's USB and the other computers to the ethernet port on the 2nd Router, and it must be set NOT TO DISTRIBUTE IP'S

Documents stuck in printer queue - Airport Extreme + Windows 7

Hi There,
I have a HP CP1215 Laserjet hooked up to my Airport Extreme and print to it from a Windows 7 (x64) machine.
Everything works fine in the sense that I can print documents and the quality is great, the problem is that the document remains in the 'printing' status in the windows queue forever more and the printer continues to print copy after copy of the document until I manually delete the job from the queue myself.
I also have a mac that uses the same printer (setup with the foo2hp drivers) which works fine so I'm thinking it must be a network/windows issue.
Any help would be gratefully received.
Many thanks,
Oliver

Please read this postthen provide some details. What printer model? How is the printer connected - USB, wired LAN, Wireless LAN, bluetooth?
Running the diagnostics at http://www.hp.com/go/tools may help resolve the issue.

Hi Kelly,
As someone who has to print from my Mac to a networked printer at home all the time, I can certainly understand how frustrating it must be to have that fail to perform as expected. Let's see if we can get you up and running.
I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
OS X Yosemite: Printing troubleshooting
Start with the section titled Check the network.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Sincerely,
Brett L

TS1253 i have airport extreme, and printer works with my imac, but not with my mac book pro??

i tried setting up the printer under my wireless network only, and using the printer information, tried both and nothing works, my imac's same settings for the printer, and just cant get it to work.
i am ussing airport extreme, and it shows printer conecting etc. but then it says not programed correctly and it fails.
i dont know what else to try, i have followed every step on the manual, and nothing works..
someone help me

Could you open System Profiler on the iMac and the MBPro and select the Printers entry. Then in the top right pane you can select the printers entry and the bottom right pane will show information about your setup. Can you copy this information from both Mac's and paste back here.

Airport Extreme and Wireless Printing

Okay so i know that you can make wireless printing by simply connecting your printer to the airport extreme. However I have a wireless printer and i read somewhere that the extreme does not allow the wireless printer to be discovered when used with the extreme. I want to know if this is true. I currently use a linksys router and whenever i print something, the first time takes forever for it to detect the printer. I am hoping that a newer router will help but i want to know if the extreme does support wireless printers.

Same issue here. I recently upgraded to an Airport Extreme and can no longer print wirelessly. Before this router I used a different brand of wireless router and had no issues. When I go to the printer itself, an HP OfficeJet 7410, and look for networks on the little display it can see mine and the neighbors. However, when I tell it to join the network it gives me an error message along the lines of "Cannot join this network." New network password has been entered.

IPads, Airport Extreme and Printing

Hi all,
I bought an Airport Extreme and have plugged a printer into the USB. The instructions imply anything on the Airport network should be able to use the printer.
Both my desktop and laptop Macs can, but I was really surprised to find that our iPads can't see it. It is enabled in Airport, but I haven't done anything with Bonjour.
I've looked through posts on here and it seems that for some reason iPads can't connect to a printer on Airport Extreme... this seems really, really odd!
I have no intention of buying an HP printer, which seems to be the only straightforward option. I tried searching for an oft-mentioned App called "Printopia" but it's no longer on the (Canada) app store.
This really does beggar belief.... it's only printing, for goodness sake! Surely it's just a matter of streaming data to a printer... which the iPad should surely be able to do over the air to the Airport Extreme??
Does anyone have any ideas how I can print from an iPad, without buying another printer?
All advice appreciated!

Thanks both.
I didn't think about drivers as I haven't had to install one for Mac for (probably) years! Things all just work when plugged in!
I tried Canon but their software only works with their wireless printers, which doesn't help me.
I didn't realise Printopia works just from a Mac.... in which case I might as well carry on doing what I'm doing now... emailing or synching docs through iTunes and print from the Mac.
Lets hope other printer manufacturer's make AirPrint capable machines soon...

Airport extreme and printing on ipad

I have an airport extreme and a usb printer connected to the airport extreme. I'm trying to print using the airport extreme to a non airport printer I don't see the printer on the ipad when I select printer. (nothing shows up)
But when I add a printer on my mac that is connected to the airport extreme I can see the printer and it shows up as bonjour. (two entries show up, one with the location set as the base station the other nothing showing anything in the location option.
Any idea's why the printer doesn't show up on the ipad or my iphone?
Thanks

Since you do not have an AirPrint compatible printer, you will need to install an App like Print Central to see if it might allow printing from the iPad and iPhone. Most printers are supported, but you really will not know if it will work until you try.
PrintCentral for iPad on the iTunes App Store

What are the setting for a p1102w printer does Airport Extreme have to have so the printer can find it?

I recently bought an Airport Extreme and a HP P1102W printer. The printer can not find the Airport Extreme network, even after turning off the network security. Is there a setting that needs to change so the printer will see the network? I am using a MacBook Pro.

I only have an iPad. I consulted HP Product Support and they told me to activate WPS on my E1200 router. The printer then connected to the router and obtained an IPv4 address. But it changed the netwrok name and disconnected my iPad. Initially my network had a default name Ciscoxxxxx but now it created a new network Cisco_WPS_nnnn. I tried to join this network but it was asking me for a 8-character password that I don't know. Linksys support asked me to upgrade to EA4500 router. But since i have Apple TV, iPad and iPhone, I thought I would buy an Apple router instead. But before I jump in this direction, I want to make sure that it will work for me. I know I can return this product but I don't want to turn this into a major project. Thanks.

My iMac (OS 10.7.4) has suddenly stopped printing to my Epson CX4800 printer through Airport Extreme, although it will print if connected via USB. Meanwhile, my MacBook (OS 10.5.8) prints still prints wirelessly. Please help.

May iMac (OS 10.7.4) has suddenly stopped printing to my Epson CX4800 printer through Airport Extreme, though my MacBook (OS 10.5.8) continues to function just fine). The iMac will print if it is connected to the printer directly via USB. The iMac continues to connect to the Internet wirelessly. I've tried resetting the printer and ensuring the driver is up to date, but no joy.
Any suggestions?
