AE in admin utility but printer not in printer setup utility

Have Linksys wrt54g with AE connected via ethernet cable (only way I've found to connect to the existing network). AE light is solid green and it is in the admin utility. I see the printer listed in the summary page in the admin utility. At this point I would think that I could find my printer listed in the printer setup utility. It was not there under bonjour or any other place. I down loaded a new driver. The printer is an HP photosmart 7760. I must be missing a step... oh and by the way I did not select connect to my existing network, that did not work. I guess my question is this. Is there some "trick" or step that I need to do so my printer shows up?
Thank you, msw3636

go to applications/utility/airport setup utility and configure your express. If the program finds your Linksys then your good to go. Bonjour will take care of the rest.

I recently replaced my dead airport router with a netgear91-5g router and synced it successfully to my Lexmark Pro 915 printer and my computer and yet when I try to print wirelessly I get the message: "printer not connected; printer offline".

I recently replaced my dead airport router with a Netgear91-5g router and synced it successfully to my Lexmark Pro 915 printer and my computer; yet when I try to print wirelessly I get the message: "printer not connected; printer offline". Lexmark support verified that my printer was connected to the new router and the problem was with the computer's printer configuration and they could reconfigure it online if I paid for their "Premium Support" services ($119 for one year, 3 fixes). I declined, feeling sure that this is something I could do if I knew how. Could it be an incompatability issue with OS 10.8.3?

You saved me $$$ that I can ill afford on my fixed income. I was very unhappy with the "support" from Lexmark... what a rip off! Thank you dwb!

If the HP 2.7 driver is not available then...
Use the process outlined here:

I can see my printer in the utility but can NOT print????

I have set up the printer utility with the drivers of my new HP all-in-one 1610. I have plugged the printer into the back of my Base Station. Is there anything that I am missing? I can see it through bonjour, but when I try to print, it gets stuck on the "establishing connection with printer"
Any thoughts???
Thanks
Power Book, G5, macbook Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Yeah, thanks for that. not helpful.
I have tried to log into the AirPort Admin Utility but it gives me an error for the base station. I tried to update the firmware and I got the same error message. The base station is working well enough to get me online, but I can not access any of the base station preferences, or access panels to check to see if it is seeing the printer. I can see the printer in the Printer utility though.
Thanks for any help.

I have a fat32 formatted drive (WD my passport 500GB) that is showing in disk utility but does not mount. I am using a macbook with mac osx 10.5.8.

Disk warrior came highly recommended on other posts but because the drive is not mac os formatted it won't do its warrior magic...
The drive shows in disk utility but the options to repair are greyed out. The drive ejects sometimes but not others. The drive powers up with light and I can hear noise (not loud just a hum that confirms (i think) that it is spinning.). The drive is as it cames and booted on both a windows XP pc and my macbook with mac os x 10.5.8.
I have tried test disk but after running for a day with no other command prompts other than the first recommend I uninstalled it.
Any other suggestions?

Hi Christina,
It's quite possible the AC PSU has given out, if It's only Bus powered as it appears, that's the worst idea ever & asking for eventual problems.
What Format is it?
Did you install any WD SW?

External hard drive seen in Disk Utility, but will not mount.

My external hard drive has power and is spinning, but will not mount. It was fine yesterday. It shows up in Disk Utility and is verified and repaired. Tried the drive on 2 other macs with same result. Tried a new enclosure and that did not work. Tried all ports...usb and firewire. Any way to save my data?
I have screen shot of the partition info from Disk Utility for the hard drive included:

Hi Dominic,
If this is still not mounting, it may be worth trying a PRAM reset...

WD My Book 4TB opens in disk utility but does not show in finder/desktop?

I am able to see my drive and open it from within the Disk Utility but it has disappeared from my desktop/finder. Verify and repair show NO issues. When I open it from the Disk Utility all information is intact.
Thank you in advance!

Back up all data.
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out these instructions.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
sudo chflags nohidden /V*/Wo*
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting. You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Confirm. You don't need to post the warning.
If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Log in as one and start over.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear. You can then quit Terminal. Test.

Firefox Update Requires Admin Privs, But Does Not Check and Just Displays Misleading Message

Firefox attempts to perform an update from an Non-Admin account, the Update File is downloaded, the update is begun but the following misleading message is displayed...
"unable to install firefox update make sure no firefox applications are open and then try again"
...and the message is displayed each time Firefox is activated.
'''Explanation'''
In order to perform the update, the protected file; ''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'' must be opened with exclusive access. This fails because Non-Admin account may not modify files in the ''C:\Program Files\'' folder. (Did Not Fail because it is open by another process)
Performing the Update from the Admin Account executes properly. After Activating in Non-Admin Account, misleading message still displays, Firefox opens and includes "Updated" page showing 14.0.1 have been installed. Deleting the files from: ''C:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates\0'' eliminates problem.
'''These issues need to be addressed by Firefox Development:'''
# Before attempting Update, check for Admin Privs. If not, then just notify Update is available.
# Modify Error Message to reflect true meaning for failure (system can be modified that updates are only possible by specific Admin account rather than Admin Group).
# When applying Update, delete other Update Pending files in other user's Directory Trees.
Will a Firefox Developer Please Respond?

Thanks for the link. I have submitted a Bug Report on Bugzilla. Will post back when there is a response there.
And this is more than "plausible", it is "confirmed" (if you watch MythBusters). There are update log files that clearing show what is happening and why.
The most disturbing thing about this "bug", is that it clearly shows that nearly everyone is performing there "normal" activities (browsing, email, etc.) from an account with Admin privs. This means that when ('''not "if"''') the latest version of an infection gets past your AV shield (they can only block the ones already reported), it has access to every sensitive part of your system. I could give a long explanation of infections with a lot boring details, but just believe this:
'''Never perform "Normal" net activities from an account with Administrator privs.'''

I can using AirPrint from safari and email to my hp printer but do not get print as an option from the pulldown menu from the new york times and other apps. How can I print directly from these apps?

I can't seem to print directly from apps like the new York times. Print is not an option from the pulldown menu. Print to my hp printer works fine from safari and email though and from some other apps. Do some apps not permit printing? That doesn't right.

Thats funny. If go to ny times on safari therebis a print icon and no problem printing. On the app -- and I am a paid subscriber -- no print option ...
You can ask the NY Times why not.
Standard behavior is that Airprint always works with iBooks, Mail, Photos, and Safari. Apps are up to their author.

Printer (not computer printer) for 10,000 piece 8 page brochure??

I have created this brochure in Pages. It is 8 pages 8X10 and I need a commercial printer. Having a little problem with my local printer because he has never worked with Pages and I do not see that as a problem for him in that I am sending him a .pdf file.
Open to all suggestions.
Thanks

Well, use of the Portable Document Format in and of itself does not guarantee that the printing master is properly prepared.
For instance, you can have QuickTime movies and hyperlinks in a Portable Document Format pagination, but you definitely don't want to have that in your printing master.
You can have image resolutions that are too low for the intended printing condition, and you can have colour spaces that are incorrect for the intended printing condition.
"All my images are CMYK" - right, but what CMYK? CMYK is just a data format, to be precise, a four component / four channel data format. You may have all images in CMYK, but one image may have been converted for newsprint with a low paper white and a total ink limit of 240%, another may been converted for inkjet with a high paper white and 220% total ink limit, and yet another may have been converted for offset with a high paper white and 340% total ink limit. Further, the colours formed by the colourants in the CMYK images may be very, very different.
In other words, don't place pre-converted CMYK in your pages. Place original colour correct RGB colourants referenced to the physical or virtual device space in which the RGB capture was corrected (e.g. AdobeRGB, EktaSpaceRGB, PhotoGamutRGB etc.). Since a printing system cannot print three component RGB, it has to convert to four component CMYK.
The ICC printer profile for the intended CMYK four component printing condition defines the laydown order of the inks (which may not be CMYK), the total ink limit, the gray balance, the colour detail in shadows, and the colour detail in highlights. This is a very, very nicely engineered file of only 1.5Mb that does all the difference, if you use it right.
And this is where we come to the PDF/X filter in the ColorSync Utility. PDF/X is short for PDF for blind eXchange, that is, PDF/X is a rendering specification that eliminates what you should not have in your printing master, checks that what you do have in your printing master is reasonable, and saves out your printing master with the ICC printer profile of your choice as OutputIntent.
One thing, check that the PDF/X filter is set to 300 dpi, and check that you pick the right ICC profile for OutputIntent. The filter has no way of knowing what printing condition you intend, so ask your printer, and pick a profile for that printing condition from those available at www.eci.org. The reference measurements are on the home page of the International Color Consortium at www.color.org.
If you can't figure it out, post to the Apple ColorSync Users List. This is properly speaking the core community of the International Color Consortium, since the International Color Consortium was first called the ColorSync Consortium, and since the ICC Specification, now ISO 15076, is the file format of Apple ColorSync 2.0.
Hope this helps,
Henrik Holmegaard

Printer not accepting print commands

I have this laserjet printer M1213nf MFP which is not accepting print command. but its accepting ither commands of scanning and copying the documents. the serial no of the printer is [Personal Information Removed]. kindly revert back as soon as possible.
thanking you.

Hi , I read your post and see that you can scan and copy, but you are unable to print. I will certainly do my best to help you. Download and run the Print and Scan Doctor, it will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, any error messages)How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet) If you appreciate my efforts, please click the 'Thumbs up' button below. If there is anything else I can help you with, just let me know. Thank You.

External hard drive suddenly became "unreadable" and the disk utility offers not repair options. The drive is visible in disk utility but may not be mounted... any suggestions?

I have a WD My Passport 070A Media 2.0 TB external hard drive that has suddenly become unreadable on my laptop (MacBook Pro circa 2006 with 10.4.11) and I have tried on a MacBook Pro 2011 running 10.6.8 with the same results. I had tried opening disk utility to repair the drive, but on both machines the drive is visible in the left column, with no indentation below the drive. When I select the drive in the first aid portion the only options highlighted are info and eject... I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions to repair the drive. I am currently in Belize and am not home for 3 weeks yet. I'm hoping for a fix while I am down here, otherwise I may have to wait... I appreciate any assistance!

How do I access an external hard drive that shows up in Disk Utility but will not show up in finder or on my desktop?

I have an external hard drive that just stopped showing up one day. Is there a solution to this problem that allows me to secure the data on the drive before reformatting?

I'm having the same problem bpay14, but with a CalDigit VR2 6TB RAID0 external hard drive.
One day it was showing on my desktop, the other it wasn't. And I still didn't update my Mavericks to 10.9.3 (still with the 10.9.2).
It shows up in the disk utility, and I can even Verify the disk and Repair it (but I don't wanna start repairing
something that probably doesn't need to be repaired, so I haven't clicked the Repaid button, only the Verify button) and it says its working just fine.
But it doesn't show in the Finder or the desktop for that matter.
And even if I force disconnect the cable, I get the usual "this disk was not ejected properly" notification
presumingly the disk was mounted on the desktop and I forced eject by unppluging it...
I found a way to force open the disk, through Disk Utility that's by clicking with the right mouse button
on the disk icon, and chosing OPEN "CalDigit AFRICA 6TB"... (see picture 1)
But... after that, it open a Finder window showing all my internal and external drives, but that drive's
name is in washed grey, like if it was unmounted (see picture 2).
When selected, I can see everything and work normally on the harddrive, even opening FCPROX projects or Libraries, copying from it and writing documents into it... just normal... (see picture 3)
BUT IT DOES NOT SHOW IN THE DESKTOP...
that's my problem...
I even did a Command+i for Info on the hard drive. (see picture 4)
Can anyone shed some light on this issue?
I would be eternally grateful!
Thanks in advance!!!
Cheers!

Airport Express is recognized in AirPort Utility but will not connect.

I just bought a brand new Airport Extreme from Best Buy yesterday and have it set up perfectly. However, now my Airport Express (that I use to stream music to my stereo via Airtunes) will not connect. I have reset the Airport Express many times and it still won't connect. Here is what is crazy... the Airport Express is recoginized within the AirPort Utility, however when I click 'Continue' I get this message:
"Warning: Are you sure you want to switch wireless networks? Setting up this Apple wireless device requires switching networks. Switching networks may interupt your connection to the Internet"
I click 'OK' and I get this message "Connecting To Network' Connecting to network 'Apple Network 08ded7'. Please wait..."
Than the message disappears and I stay on the same screen I started from (I don't advance to the next setup screen... repeat and it does the same thing.
I've disabled my firewalls and still no luck. Also, the Airport Express shows an Orange light both on the device and the AirPort Utility.
Anyone know what the deal may be?
Thanks in advance!!

Not sure why, but I installed the Airport Utility software on a differnt PC and was able to get the Airport Express configured and working just fine now. Hmmmmm...
So nice to have my music playing again - love Airtunes!

Print to pdf: Asks for name of file, but does not actually print a pdf file.

Printing to PDF: When I have text in MS Word, or Notepad and I want to print it as a PDF file, when I attempt to do so. The widget stating now printing foo.txt comes up (in the printer spooler window foo.txt - Notepad is seen), then the save as insert filename hit "save" button ( foo.txt no longer in spooler window) and in notepad I get invalid handle.
If done in ms word. same as above accept spooler shows foo.docx. and no invalid handle diagnostic.

Hi kernwh,
I checked for the same but it only asks once for the file name.
Please upgrade Acrobat X to 10.1.12 and then check.
