306 Error Printing with Time Capsule 2TB

I just upgraded from a 1st Generation Time Capsule (500GB) to a 4th Generation Time Capsule (2TB). I have a Canon MP600 printer connected via USB to the Time Capsule. In my previous setup, this worked flawlessly and other computers on the network could print to this device. With the new setup, I'm receiving a 306 Error printing to the printer via the new Time Capsule.
I have:
Reset the printer system information.
Rest the TC to default settings, attached the USB for the printer, and restarted the device.
Tested the USB direct connection to my printer (works fine).
I feel like this has to be related to the new TC...wondering if I've got a setting mixed up.
Any help would be great - I've reviewed most of the postings related to this subject, but this one feels different as it involves an upgrade to new TC and I'm not trying to use a wireless printer.

First, restart your MacBook Pro and your Time Capsule. This solves the problem in most of the cases.
If it doesn't work, see > http://pondini.org/TM/C12.html

Use Network ready printer with Time Capsule?

Recently bought a laser all in one Canon printer that was network ready. Canon tech support told me it would not be compatible with Time Capsule (500 GB) as the wireless source. Is this true?
If true, what printer brands will network easily with the Time Capsule?
Thank you!
In search of new printer

Welcome to the discussions!
If the all-in-one is "network ready", it will have an ethernet port to connect to the network. It will need to connect by ethernet if you want to be able to use the scan, fax, copy, etc functions.
If you are planning to connect the all-in-one to the Time Capsule USB port, the printing function will work if the device is compatible. The other functions will not be supported.

Epson CX9400 won't print with Time Capsule

Seems like there are plenty of Leopard printing issues, so I'll add mine to the mix.
Just upgraded my MacBookPro to 10.5.6 and it connects fine to the Time Capsule and such. The Epson Stylus CX9400Fax pops right up in Bonjour. Newly updated all drivers. When I print there are no error messages, just a normal que that shows the job as completed, but of course it's not.
This system prints fine locally through the USB. Unfortunately there is no Ethernet on the printer to try another workaround.
System prints fine if I boot in 10.4.11.
Epson is no help. They don't even try to suggest anything. All of the FAQs here don't help either.
The MacBookPro prints fine with my network printers in the office.
Leopard not talking to Epson's newest driver via Airport. Am I just out of luck?

You have made no mention of how Time Capsule is connected. For the initial backup, you should be connected using an ethernet connection. It would be a fresh, new backup. Did your setup of TC go smoothly? I assume the network is all setup and that the TC disk sharing is enabled.

Trying to Connect Wireless Epson Printer with Time Capsule

Greetings. I am a regular Mac user and using Mac for several years now. However, I am a new to network administration. I have a Linksys wireless router that syncs our 5 Macs (one iPad-1 iMac and three MacBook Pros), plus 4 Windows PC's we have in our network. I recently decided to purchase a Time Machine, and further our use of Apple technology in wireless devices. I want to back up all my computer's files to Time Machine and use the Airport Extreme functions of Time Machine while discontinuing the use of my LinkSys router. However, I can't get my Epson WorkForce 600 to wirelessly connect to Time Capsule in order to use the scanner & fax functions. Connecting the printer by USB enables the printer function, but disables all other functions of the printer (fax-scan, etc.).
I tried downloading new Epson drivers and couldn't get some of them to install. This time My iMac wouldn't install the .dmg files. I tried opening the .dmg file and installing. The pop up box requiring my administrator password, kept flashing when I tried to enter my password. Since I couldn't get the .dmg files to install, my plan to update Epson driver's didn't work. Question #1: I am looking for advice how to install these weird disk image files ?
I turned off my Time Capsule, re-connected the LinkSys to the cable modem and all my wireless functions work again, especially my printer. Sadly, no Time Capsule.
I read another discussion suggestion connecting both wireless devices together. I assume since I want to use Time Capsule that I set it up with the modem and connect the other router to it via one of the four ethernet connections. I didn't want to try this until I received further advice. I am hoping I can connect my LinkSys router to Time Capsule and use the printer through the LinkSys connection with all other computers on my network.
Question #2: How can I get my Time Capsule to find the Epson so I can use it again, or should I just use the LinkSys router connected to the printer?
Thank you in advance for help.

This sounds as if you are trying to use instructions that are more than 2 years old at this point, but you are using a new version of AirPort Utility Utility in Lion or Mountain Lion....which would not track or apply to the older instructions.
Can you confirm what operating system that you are using on the Mac that is being used to configure devices?
The new AirPort Express will connect directly to the Time Capsule using an Ethernet connection, correct?

Network printing with time capsule doesn't work with OS X Lion

I have a canon printer which will print when it is set up and connected to my imac. However when it is set up and connected to time capsule it will not print. It thinks it has completed the job but it hasn't.
I think that this may have something to do with OS X Lion.
The printer is just new, I bought it as the old one was playing up - I had been unable to get the old one which was connected via the time capsule to print since installing OS X Lion but never put two and two together - I just assumed the the printer had eventually died! So I bought a new one! It seems to set up OK as it is recognised as being attached to the timecapsule but there is no out put.
Does anyone have any ideas as how to sort this out?
Ian

Solved (apparently): After reinstalling, iTunes 10.5 beta 3 appears to work.

Remote print with time capsule

Hello,
I setup the time capsule so that I have access from remote over the apple-id.
Connection and access to files on the time capsule works very well.
Now I would like to print a document remote over the time capsule.
Is it possible without direct connection of the printer to the time capsule?
The printer got an IP address by the time capsule and when I am not remote it is possible to print via air play.
Thank you!
Regards, PK

Here are some troubleshooting articles. I'd start with Pondini:

http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11194
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3275 (note - older article)
Have you tried using Airport Utility to see if you can see the Time Capsule?
FWIW - I have 4 Time capsules on an in-house ethernet network and they all work as they are supposed to.
Pjot84 - Is local network hooked directly to the computer? Probably my dense head, but I'm not sure I understand you.

Printing on shared printer with Time Capsule

I've got a question on how to print on a shared USB printer with the Time Capsule. I think the answer is that I'm doing it wrong and expecting the impossible.
The typical set up, I think, is Time Capsule plugged into computer, printer plugged into Time Capsule, and then all parties in the wireless network can print. Right?
I've got my Time Capsule in the basement (that's where the cable modem is) and it shoots off a nice strong signal to the 2nd floor and does our backups nicely. The printer is plugged into my husband's iMac. My iMac can see the printer and acts like it has access to it. But nothing happens when I try to print.
Is this simply because the printer must be plugged into the Capsule and there is no other way about it?
Thanks.

Please excuse me for jumping in on the party but I'm kind of in a fix. I just installed a time capsule. I can print from my PC (which is hard wired via Ethernet to the TC) to the USB printer connected directly to TC (HP F380). However when I print from my ACER PC through wireless it prints only 75% of the page then the printer freezes. If it's a 2 page document, it'll print 1 page then only 75% of the 2nd page. I tried reinstalling a new HP driver and Bonjour but without joy. Does anybody have any suggestions? Any help would be much appreciated. After solving this problem my next step would be to actually invest in an IMAC! Being an ex IBM'er I finally feel the need for change!

USB Printer with Time Capsule (with 802.11ac)

Hello Guys,
I have a Canon MP258 inkjet printer and it's not working with my airport time capsule (with 802.11ac) .
I had tried a lot of method to solve it but it can't be done.
Pls, help me to solved this puzzled.Thx
Best Regards,
Johnremy

If the name of your printer does not appear in the printer list when you click the + button, try contacting Canon Support to see if they have an updated printer driver that you could download and install.
Download Free Driver Pinter Canon Pixma MP258
http://filedir.com/drivers/printer/canon-pixma-mp258-mp250-printer-driver-downlo ad-516940.html
If this does not work, then Canon has not provided the printer driver for their device to operate on a network USB connection.
Do you understand that if you can get the print function working, that fax, scan, copy, maintenance, etc functions will not work when the MP258 is connected to the USB port on the Time Capsule?
Only the print function is supported on the Time Capsule, so if you need the other functions, you should connect the MP258 to your computer.....not the Time Capsule.

What is the best HP printer with Time Capsule

What is the best HP printer (all-in-one) to use with an Airport Time Capsule?

Kappy is dead on correct about Bridge Mode as a requirement for the Time Capsule.
Do you know how to check to see if the Time Capsule is configured this way?
Next question.....you really should not try to have two wireless networks....one Arris and another Time Capsule.....unless it is absolutely necessary. Two wireless routers in close proximity can create wireless interference effects that can cause problems with either...or both...networks.
Best to turn off the wireless on one router to keep the chances of wireless interference between routers minimized.
Are both the Arris and Time Capsule providing wireless signals?

CONNECTING MY WIRELESS PRINTER WITH TIME CAPSULE

Cant seem to get it to link up, any suggestions.?

I have the same printer but have always used it on a wired network - I have a couple of problems that recur with it - sometimes I have to turn it off, unplug it and reinitialize it for no obvious reason - have you tried that?
And if I'm gone for a while sometimes it gets a new IP address and I have to find it again for my computers
Have you gotten the manual out and seen if there is any help there?
Maybe as a test you should move it near the Time Capsule and hook it up via wired ethernet and see how things go that way
I have not been able to scan with it since upgrading to Leopard - have not spend much time on that - it may be something really simple (or maybe not)

Setting up wireless printer with Time Capsule

I've just replaced my original Time Capsule after it had a terminal power failure.
The replacement Time Capsule is working okay as a backup and I have set up my wireless network again, but now I can't print using my Canon MX860 printer, which had been working well with my original Time Capsule and wireless network.
Any advice how I can fix this issue would be much appreciated - thanks.

Welcome to the discussion area!
Your post did not tell us what you may have already tried, whether you are trying to connect the printer using wireless only, or whether it will be connected to the USB port on the Time Capsule.
If you are trying to connect using wireless, you'll need to "re-install" the printer again using Canon's setup utility just like you did the first time.
Likewise, if you are using USB to connect, you'll need to open System Preferences on your Mac and click Print & Fax to install the printer.

Air Print with Time Capsule

I have my wireless printer hooked up to my time capsule. Works fine with MacBook, shouldn't it work with my iPad . Obviously because it is not. Thank you for any help

LbiMike-
By now you should know the iPad can only print directly to AirPrint printers without having a printing app installed.
If you DO have an AirPrint printer, it is my understanding that you can wirelessly print directly to it if it is not associated with a wireless router. However it must be operating in Wireless mode and be associated with your Wireless network if you're not printing directly to it.
Someone said that connecting an AirPrint printer to a USB port on the wireless router won't work from the iPad, even though you can print to it from your computer.

Cannot print with time capsule?

We just bought the Time Capsule and the wireless printer works from the MacAirBook but not from the IPAD2 and also not from our new IMAC....

Sandra2012-
I have had no problem printing through my Time Capsule. I have also tried several other model Apple AirPorts with success.
Note that your MacBook Air and iMac do not use AirPrint. They use the printer's native printing language. For printing to work on the iPad, your printer must be compatible with AirPrint. See <http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356> for a list of compatible printers.
If your printer is not on that list, your best option may be to share your computer's printer as AirPrint over WiFi. Programs such as Printopia and FingerPrint can do that, and are reported to work well.
As far as your iMac is concerned, try deleting and re-adding the printer.

WIreless Printing with Time Capsule.

Peripheral info:
MacBookPro 17" early 09; 10.5.8
Printer: Canon Pixma MP480
Time Capsule Dual-Band 7.4.2 firmware, uptodate AirPort Utility
For some reason when adding the printer using my 17" uMBP it sees the printer but no drivers specifically attached to the printer...i tried searching the built in drivers for the printer but no luck.
I dont ever plan on using the copying or scanning functionality of this printer on this comptuer and i dont really feel the need to isntall the included software, so im wondering if the drivers for printing via Wifi/Time Capsule are included or do i have to actually install the drives for this printer for it to work over the network?
With a printer sepcifically provided by apple that illustrates and advertises just a plug and play wihtout install excess drivers...
thanks!

Hi Frank,
It looks like you can get the driver from Canon's website without all of the bloatware that usually comes with the "suite."
http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=2610&m odelid=17160#DownloadDetailAct
Bonjour will typically see the printer when it's connected via the TC but you'll see need the drivers to be present on the machine before you're able to print to the device. I recommend setting up the printer to where it works via USB when wired to the machine and then move it over to the TC.

Wireless printing with time capsule 1tb and new wireless all in one printer

I am having problems with printing wirelessly from my time capsule 1tb. I currently have a hp 5510v office all in one printer and drivers can not be found to support printing wirelessly however it can print via usb. What I need is help in picking out a new all in one printer that can print wirelessly from time capsule 1tb. Please help

Hi,
my hp photosmart C6180 all in one works flawlessly with it plugged in to my time capsule all functions.
I used to have it set up using it wirelessly from the printer however for some reason after a update (i think) it stopped working & would not print so had to plug in to time capsule.
