10.6.5 and Wireless printer connection errors

I have just updated both my iMac and Macbook pro to 10.6.5 and both now just show "connection error" when trying to print to my canon mp640 wifi printer.
Another macbook I have that has non-updated OS is still printing fine to the same printer so the network and printer are obviously all ok.
I have deleted printer and reinstalled new driver to no avail. Not sure what else to do from here??

I have a new Epson wireless printer connected and the iPad recognizes it but it won't print. What is AirPrint and how do I connect it?

Patti-
Is your Epson printer on Apple's list of AirPrint capable printers? See <http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356>.
If it is an AirPrint printer, then your WiFi router may not correctly handle Bonjour data required by AirPrint. Contact the router's manufacturer to see if there is a change to its setup or a firmware update, that will make it work.
One other possibility is that there could be a print job stuck in the iPad's print queue. Double click the iPad's Home button and a row of recent Apps will appear along the bottom of the screen. Scroll across and see if the Print Center is there.

HT1677 Safari says I am not connected but wireless shows 3 bars and I can use wireless lap top and wireless printer. Happened after downloaded ios7

Cannot use safari even though I have 4 bars. It works fine on lap top and wireless printer. Happened after downloading IOS7

Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
After that Reset let the iPad reconnect to your Wi-Fi.

Wireless printer connection

I lost my wireless printer connection. It keeps telling me the printer is "offline" What do I do?

WHAT TYPE OF PRINTER DO YOU HAVE????
Try doing the "wireless setup wizard"
-this usually found in the SETUP menu> wirless(network)> Wireless

Network Magic Pro 5.5 keeps dropping my router and wireless printer ...

...multiple times per day.
WIN 7 Pro 64-bit, SP1
Network Magic 5.5.9195.0-Pure0
Motorola Surfboard model SB6120 Cable modem
Windows Firewall configured by Norton Security Suite 6.2.1.5
Linksys WRT54G2 router ver.1
My problem is as stated in the header. My router needs to have the power cycled multiple times a day because it is dropping my internet access. This problem did not occur until I purchased in installed Network Magic. Also, the wireless printer needs to have the cycle powered almost as often. I've had both the router and wireless printer for more than 2 years and never experienced this problem before installing Network Magic
I manually changed my MTU setting to 1472 from Automatic. This has not helped.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks!

From what I know, the network magic software won't affect your internet connection since it is just a software to use to manage your network. You may want to isolate the problem first. You can try uninstalling the network magic software from your computers and try to observe your connection again.

Can you print from an iPad to non wireless printer connected to timecapsule

I just purchase an iPad. Can I print to non wireless printer connected to timecapsule? If yes, what app do I need for the iPad?

You might want to take a look at Print Central or Printopia.
PrintCentral for iPad on the iTunes App Store
Printopia - AirPrint to Any Printer - Print from iPad - Print from iPhone ...
I can verify that Printopia works just fine for me on my iPad, but haven't tried Print Central.

A lot of people are experiencing it, which suggests that Apple is having issues. If that is the case all people can do is wait it out.

Windows 7 and windows 8 desktop wired and 7510e printer connected to win 7 wireless

I have a windows 7 64 bit HPavilion Elite 150f desktop set up wired with a 7510e photosmart printer connected to it wireless, now I have purchased a windows 8 desktop HP envy 700-019 desktop.
When I set up my new windows 8 desktop I just plugged it into my wireless router/modem combo and it found my printer and I could just print from it, I did not download any software or drivers for my printer or set up a home group as I was not sure how to set it up but last night I tried to set up a homegroup,
I used my wireless network key and entered it and pressed connect, then I entered the Homegroup password that was downloaded for me from Microsoft, but my windows 7 says homegroup and my windows 8 shows private network so I am not sure what I have done wrong, I chose to only share music and printers, can anyone tell me how to do this correctly as I am not sure that I have done it properly.
On my windows 8 I can go to my printers web site by entering the static IP address that cloud support set up for me and it shows as connected but I do not want to enter any printer code as that is already set up on my windows 7, I can also scan to email on my windows 8 but I am not sure what if any security I have on my windows 8. The last time I had a homegroup set up I payed someone to do it for me so I did it by guess work more than anything, if someone can lead me through it step by step I would appreciate it.

Hi @emma22
I would like to do my best to help, but please bear in mind the issue you are expressing is an inquiry for Microsoft not HP. I did find something I think will be most helpful, and I hope it resolves the issue, but if the issue persists, or you have additional questions, it might be best to reach out to the Microsoft community.
Here is what I found; HomeGroup from start to finish.
In the top right hand corner of the article, you can change it from WIndows 7 to Windows 8. I hope this helps.

I have an airport extreme with a HP Folio laptop and cannon pixma MX882 printer. when i am VPN'd in thru Cisco vpn and try to print the wireless print connection stops. i Un-VPN and it prints. then i have to go back into VPN to continue?how do i configure

i have an Airport Extreme wireless router, HP Folio laptop (company supplied) and a Canon PIXMA MX882 wireless printer,copier, scanner and fax.
when i am VPN's in thru CISCO VPN to my company Intranet site I cannot print wirelessly. i have to turn off VPN, priint and log back into the company intranet site. is there a way to configure the router so that it is not blocking the signal?
Tx

The problem is not the router.. the issue is the vpn has put your computer in a different IP range with a different gateway. When you turn off the vpn the computer returns to local lan and can print.
Some vpn software allows you to set gateway to use local net instead of remote gateway or access to other webistes or local lan.
Read up the issue.

Cisco vpn client..
https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/239113
I did not search much.. just grabbed the first article I could find that explains the issue.
The whole point of the vpn is whilst it is connected your computer is NOT part of the Local Lan .. it is part of the Remote LAN via the vpn tunnel.
It is also a security risk using split tunnelling so often it will not be allowed.
Plug the printer directly into the computer via usb or whatever.. Local connection will work.. not local lan.

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.

Airport extreme and wired and wireless printing

I have connected an Airport Extreme base station (AEBS) to my cable modem and my Canon S820 printer to the USB port on the AEBS. My wired connection (via ethernet port) is my tower G4 and the wireless is connected to my macbook. As I understand it, the printer can be accessed via the ethernet port (which feeds the G4 its internet connection) on the wired computer. The problem is; on the macbook, it recognizes the the printer and can print with no problem. On the G4 wired, it cannot find the printer. I have tried the trouble shooting suggestions of turning off the printer and airport and reconnecting power to re-establish a connection, but it does not recognize the printer on the wired computer. Am I missing something here? I have been completely unsuccessful trying to resolve this issue. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for the link, but the post did not resolve the issue. I am closer to a solution, but not able to print yet. Reloaded driver, restarted printer and airport and am able to get the correct path to the airport, but for some reason, I get a message that the printer has a communication error and to check that it is plugged in (yes), powered on (yes), and properly connected to computer (well, according to bonjour it is). So, the quest continues to resolve printing.

HP Deskjet 460 wireless printer connection problem

I just replaced my Airport Extreme (pre-n) with a Time Capsule. My HP Deskjet 460 WiFi printer no longer connects through wireless. However, configuring the Time Capsule wireless mode to "802.11g/b only" (i.e. no 802.11n) resolves the connection problem.
Any suggestion on how to get the printer to connect with 802.11n enabled?
Thanks in advance,
- gael

I also have an HP 460wbt and have similarly replaced my old airport base station with the TC. Without any wireless security the printer connected fine - but couldn't get connection using WPA or WEP. I've tried every combination I can - but have gone back to reconnecting the airport base station alongside the TC with bridging to the ADSL netgear modem I use. This seems a bit like overkill but I just can't get the WPA on the printer to work with the WPA personal options of the TC. Have you any ideas on this one?

Notebook using Vista and wireless print server and HP5500 printer problem

Installed std vista local driver for hp5550 printer with usb cable direct to printer. Works ok
Then, disconnected usb copper line to HP labtop and connected it into print server in router (D-link router to HP5500 printer).
Installed wireless network driver in labtop (vista os)(no updated hp driver available for Vista on HP site).
Print jobs just stack up in the que.
Used 192.168.0.1 address (which works fine for my other old win 98 computer).
Driver using the "raw" setting not "LPT"
Print Sharing is enabled.
Any suggestions?
p.s. The wirless system works fine on an old windows 98SE computer using the original 5550 installation disk.

Went back and installed the "Windows 2000 Print Server Software (from D-link Router 824vpn). I assume that this included the USP Shareport program that was recommend in a thread. I can now access router wirelessly. However, wireless print jobs go into que for hp5550, que emptys, but printer does not start up. Copper usb from printer to computer works fine (as separate printer)sta. Using HPdeskjet 5550 (HPA ) printer, port 192.168.0.1, printer name/ip 192.168.0.1, protocal 9100, raw setting, port 9100, LPR and SNMP are both blank. Any suggestions (OS is Vista). No drivers from Dlink or HP for this application. Thanks

HP ENVY 114 all-in-one d411c and wireless printing.

I have a HP ENVY 114 all-in-one d411c printer connected wirelessly and a HP Pavilion HPE h8-1237 which is also connected wirelessly to my NetGear N750 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router. The problem is that the printer, according to the desktop computer, is constantly going OFFLINE. I have tried reinstalling printer software, ran the Print and Scan Doctor, etc. with no luck. I think the problem is with the desktop computer because I also have a HP Pavilion dv7 notebook which is also connected wirelessly and it can print all day long with no problems, never goes OFFLINE. I don't know what else to do. I recently upgraded both computers to Windows 8 Pro. The printer worked fine when I was using Windows 7 Ultimate. I need some suggestions, Please. Thank You in advance.

Sounds like you are having issues with your printer going offline? Now is this actually inhibiting your printing? Because if the printer is in sleep mode it will register as offline. If you ARE having issues with printing, then we can check some of the setting on the router. Here are its specs :
http://reviews.cnet.com/routers/netgear-n750-wireless-dual/4507-3319_7-34467825.html
Here I can see that there are potential hazards, I would recommend contacting Netgear and making sure that the router is broadcasting on the 2.4GHz range, and that it is set for 802.11g and not 802.11n wireless. These could effect your printer's responsiveness.
Run this diagnostic tool :
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c03286146
And as a last bit, you might want to consider setting the printer up with an Ethernet-network connection and seeing if the issue is with the method of communication.
Let me know and I will get right back with you!

IPad air to wireless printer connection?

HHow to connect iPad to wireless printer?

First off, the printer needs to be AirPrint capable, and then connected to the same wi-fi network as the iPad. If it is not AirPrint capable, then there may be an app that supports that brand of the printer in the App Store that might allow the device to work. About AirPrint - Apple Support
