Airport Connected Printer No Longer Working - Please Help!

I have an Airport Extreme connected to Road Runner Cable Modem serving a the Main Base Station.
I have a Xerox Phaser 7750DN Color Laser Printer connected via USB to another Airport Extreme serving as a Remote Base Station.
I have an Airport Express operating as a Remote Base Station to extend the netwrok into a part of the house not reached by the Main Base Station.
I have a G5 PowerMac, G5 iMac, G4 iMac, and a G4 PowerBook, all on the wireless network. They are all running Tiger.
I used to have no problem printing to the Xerox Phaser. But recently have had problem printing from any of the computers to the Xerox Phaser.
I have tried everything that I can think of, but nothing appears to work.
Could any help? It is a big problem for me.
Thank you for your assistance.

i also have recently lost the ability to print to my hp color laserjet 3500.
i have a powerbook g4 and an imac g4 both using an Airport Extreme for shared internet access and printing to the hp printer via Airport's USB port.
i think i lost the ability to print right after allowing my powerbook to upload new software to the Airport Extreme base station. not certain that is the reason, but the timing is right. the base station still shares my internet connection (both computers can surf), and both computers can print when the printer is connected directly to a computer USB port.
does anyone know how i could revert to the prior version of AE software (on the base station)?

Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) No longer working - Please help!

Ok... here we go. I cannot RDC to my network at work. I originally was using a PC and was able to connect a few times using RDC before it stopped working. It would not connect either wirelessly or connected via ethernet cable no matter what I tried. I then tried a laptop from work - same problem. I then went and bought a new Macbook Pro - connected no problem 5 times in a row until it stopped worked again out of the blue.
In summary:
- same problem exists on Macs and PCs
- same problem exists when using Wifi or Ethernet cable
- problem ONLY occurs at home with my FIOS router - all the same computers can RDC using any other network
- if I connect to my neighbor's Wifi on either a Mac or PC, it's works fine
Please help!! I've been looking at my router settings but I'm over my head. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am going to take an educated guess as to why, it does not work. If this does not solve the issue, please post,
The solution was posted here by user "tns", from user BigDaddy on DSLReports:
Login to your router normally, then click this link, which will take you to the now-hidden IGMP Proxy config page:
192.168.1.1/index.cgi?active_page=6059

Divx and other media related plugins always crash and/or no longer work, please help

Why is nothing of divx seems to work anymore? Every time i try to watch a video online using a divx site or site that uses a divx player, i get the message
"divx plus web player pluging has cashed, send crash report"
I send it - then am offered the option to reload the page once reloaded a press play the player then says connecting and then crashes again!!!
FF this is ridiculas!!
None of the divx plugins are recognised anymore and the divx web player add on is marked as incompatible, and there is not an option to enable it! When i click on the '''bold text'''more '''bold text'''option all that apears is the link to website where you download the exact same up to date version that you already have.
im using windows vista home basic 32-bit operating system, & the new version of firefox.
Its really annoying that these extensions and plugins no longer work crash and/or are no longer recognised espcially considering firefox insisted we upgrade for security issue etc and that 3.6 wont be kept up to date any more, I want reinstall the 3.6 version but am worried about security issues now.
will the divx plugin and addon/extension be added to this new version anytime soon if not what can i do to enable me to watch videos without the plugin crashing ? (i have updated all the pluggins but the problem still occurs) ?

I am having the same problems as well. Every time I turned around there was a new version of Firefox 8.0. Prior to the constant updating of Firefox I was able to watch movies from Stagevu and Veehd and now because of the new Firefox I cannot watch any movies. I also tried the VLC plugin and that constantly crashes as well as the DivX Web Player. I read so many complaints and no one from Firefox or any of the other browser is giving any of their constituents or customers whatever you want to call us any solutions to the problem and I am beginning to get a little frustrated. I have tried all of the other browsers like the Internet Explorer and Google Chrome and I still come up with the same problem.

Firelight 80 GB no longer working, please help!!

hi.
my firelight external hard drive is no longer working. the light is on, i hear the motor working but it is not registering on my mac.no icons appear.
do i have to download some new drivers? if so where from and what is its name?
thanks for your help.
joel

Hi Joel,
A couple of things we can try...
1.) If you open Disk Utility, do you see the hard drive there?
2.) If you open System Profiler, do you see the drive present on the device tree bus?
What type of drive is it, USB or FireWire?

Another airport connecting to internet problem! Please help!

Hi, I'm having a problem connecting to the internet on my iMac G5 running OS 10.5.8.
It initially started happening on and off after I upgraded from 10.4, now it happens all the time.
Airport connects to the network (full 5 bars and I can see the other machines on the network), but can't connect to the internet. When I run Network Diagnostics, I only get as far as Select Airport network, but it keeps scanning forever but doesn't find the network. Meanwhile my iBook G4 and a PowerMac on the same network connect no problem.
I get the Self Assigned IP address message in network preferences.
I have searched the forums for this problem, and found lots of other people having the same problem, but none of the suggested fixes have worked. The only thing I can't do is reboot the modem as it's my landlords network and I don't have access to it.
Things I have tried include:
-turning airport on and off
-deleting the airport preferences plist file from system preferences and rebooting
-deleting airport from network preferences and adding it again
-deleting all locations and creating a new one
-using manual dhcp and putting in an ip address same as the ibook with 1 extra number at the end
-turning of the firewall
-rebooting rebooting rebooting
None of the above works. Can anyone can suggest any thing else? It's driving me crazy! I know there are lots of other posts on this topic but I think I tried all of the fixes suggested without any success.
Thanks

There is a fair chance it's a problem with the DNS settings your ISP uses. Here is what I'd recommend.
1. System preferences
2. Network
3. Click Advanced
4. Click DNS tab
5. Click + sign
6. Add 208.67.222.222
7. Click + sign
8. Add 208.67.220.220
9. Click OK.
10. Exit System Preferences
11. Try out your iMac and report what happened.

Roger

I am not certain this will fix your problem but I suggest you assign the printer a static IP address.
Using the printer's front panel, select Menu > Network > WLAN > TCP/IP > Boot method, and change it to "static". Provide a static IP address that is on your LAN's subnet.
For example, if you are using an AirPort Extreme, you might give it an IP address of 10.0.1.100. If you are using a Netgear or Linksys router that defaults to issuing 192.168.x.x addresses, you might give it an address of 192.168.1.100. That way, the printer will always "reside at the same address" on your network. If your router has the ability, you should reserve that address so that the router does not attempt to assign it to another DHCP device.
Then, go to System Preferences > Print & Scan, and delete your existing printer with the "–" (minus) button. Add it again, using the "+" (plus) button. In the window that appears, select the IP pane, and from the Protocol menu select "Line Printer Daemon (LPD)". In the Address field type the IP address you gave your printer.
If all goes well the "Pring Using" field will detect the printer at that address and automatically select the appropriate driver. You will see something similar to the following screenshot ("name" can be whatever you decide, and "location" is optional):
Click Add, then you can close System Preferences.
There are other possible reasons your printer is "not responding" which could include wireless interference from competing wireless networks, but try this "static IP" method first. It should mitigate the problem.

TS1398 I work at a hospital that has free wifi. My ipad mini connected just fine when I first bought it but now it displays unable to connect? What changed? Please help! My mini still connects at home, just not at work.

My Ipad Mini will no longer connect to the wifi at work. It did when I first got it but now it just displays unable to connect. What gives? I work at a hospital and the wifi is not password protected and my mini connects fine at home. Please help!

Some of these won't apply to your situation.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Hi there amalrockzz,
You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Follow these steps to troubleshoot the above issues:
Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your Wi-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
Tap and Forget this Network.
Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
Unable to access the Internet while connected to Wi-Fi
If you're using a public or commercial network, you may need to log in or subscribe.
Check to see if you have a self-assigned IP address:
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected and tap .
If your IP address is 169.254.xxx.xxx, you may not be able to access the Internet.
If you do not have a self-assigned IP address, see if other Wi-Fi devices on your network have Internet access.
If they do not, consult with your network administrator or ISP for further assistance.
If they do, reset network settings on your device by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings
Additional Information
Find information on connecting to a Wi-Fi network.
Some third-party routers may not be compatible with all iOS devices, even after updating to the latest firmware. If your iOS devices can successfully connect to other Wi-Fi networks, contact your router's manufacturer to ensure that your router is compatible with your iOS device.
See recommended settings for configuring your Wi-Fi router for use with iOS devices.

If Join was on then your home wi-fi must be set to Non-Broadcast. If you did not set this up (maybe your provider did) then you will need to find the Network Name they used, and any password they used. The SSID is Security Set ID and to see more try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSID . Basically it is the name used to identify your router/network. A lot of times the installer will leave it set as LinkSys, or Broadcom or whatever the manufacturer set it as for default. Your best bet is to get whoever installed it to walk you through how they set it up, giving you id's and passwords so you can get in. HOWEVER, if you are not comfortable with this (if you set security wrong, etc.) you would be well ahead of the game to hire a local computer tech (networking) to get this working for you. You can also contact the vendor of your router and get help (if it is still in warranty), or at least get copies of the manuals as pdf files. Sorry I can't give you more help, I hope this gives you an idea where to go from here to find more.
