Try using the process outlined here:

http://tech.ifelix.net/1300.html
It make work with the HPIJS drivers, specifically the HP OfficeJet 5500 driver.

  • Airport express  and printer samsung ml 1670 connection problem

    Hallo.
    I'm trying to set up my printer Samsung ML-1670 on my network linking it directly on my Airport Express Base Station.
    I've already tried the printer connecting it directly to my pc via usb port and it works. The Bonjour software recognize it correctly and install it on my pc. When I print the error message is: "The Port is not connected. Check it."
    I've already tried to check the windows firewall settings to be sure the port is open. I switched it off to be sure but no changes.
    I've tried the configuration via "add printer" feature directly, via Bonjour: no result.
    Furthermore my iPhone doesn't see the printer as well, even if connected to the base and switched on.
    Any help?
    Thanks in advance.
    Claudio

    Bonjour is the new name for Rendezvous.
    10.3 still refers to Rendezvous.

  • Airport express and Printer

    During one years I used an epson cx 3650 without problem with my airport express born . I was 2 weeks travelling and when I was back home the airport express was stop with no light . I did a hard reset , and the update firmware (6.3) ; now it's ok for the music with airtunes but it's impossible to use the printer. When I use the airport utilities I understand the born is not connect with the printer ???
    Thanks for help

    Yes.
    Applications > Utilities > Airport Admin Utility
    Scan and Select your Airport
    Click Configure
    Enter the Airport password (the default is "public").
    On the Airport Tab
    Base Station Options
    Enable Remote Printer Access

    good morning yesterday i bought an Airport express device.when I tried to install it ,the yellow light never stop falshing,for that was impossible to me to configure airport express.Do you have any idea to solve this bad problem?please help me!.thanks a lot.

    Hi Irenefromitaly,
    have you tried to configure your Airport Express via Cable? That's faster and easier.
    Or you press the reset button for 5 secs and keep your airport utility searching. wait for some minutes, its takes some time wirelessly..

  • Difficulties with Airport Express and Printing

    Here's my situation:
    I have a Time Capsule through which comes my internet access which is then sent around my house wirelessly. This is downstairs at the point where my phone line comes in. My computer (iMac) is upstairs, on the wireless network. Internet, Time Capsule backup etc. works fine. I have purchased an Airport Express which I wish to use to print with my printer (a HP- which is also upstairs nearby the computer) via USB rather than having the printer plugged via a USB connection in to my computer. I believe I have set up the AE properly, plugged in the printer via USB to it but it does not print.
    So, what am I doing wrong ? I thought that the AE would be picking up whatever wireless signal is being sent out by both the computer and the Time Capsule and would pick up the instruction to print
    So, have I got this all wrong ? If you've a similar set up and have worked it out, please give me the benefit of your experience !
    Thanks.

    I just replaced my Airport Extreme and my expresses had to be reconfigured. I have done that and my express which is set up for being a part of my network as a USB hub for printing. Light is green and seen in my Airport Utility. However, when I go to print, it tells me "device is in use, waiting..." and never gets past that point. Any great thoughts about how to fix?

  • Airport Express and Canon Pixma IP4500 wireless printing

    Hello,
    I bought an Airport Express and set it up as an additional wireless network at an 5Ghz N mode. It's conneted to a Linksys Wireless router modem/router. Internet connectivity is fine from both iMac 24 and MacBook. Both use OSX 10.5.4.x
    Airport is set up via USB with a Canon Pixma IP4500 inkjet. When connected directly to the iMac, it prints fine. When I connect the IP4500 to the Airport Express, I get an Error 300 - basically saying the printer is not responding.
    The whole point of the Airport Express was a faster network for both wireless printing and playing iTunes wirelessly from the MacBook.
    Any tips on what could be a common problem for this printer?
    Thanks

    I had a similar problem
    I had to "add a new printer", so one printer refers to the directly connected printer and the other refers to the printer connected to the airport (bonjour).
    Greetings.

  • Help - Receive message "an error occurred printing this document" when using airport express and Ipad

    Hi, I am trying to set up an airport express hub to work with a Star tsp100 receipt printer and IPad 2. The IPad is being used to accept credit card payments and I was hoping to print receipts out wirelessly using the airport express and receipt printer. I checked to make sure the airport express has the latest firmware and it does. The IPad software is also updated to the latest 7.1.  I then connected the Airport express and IPad and the network setup with no problems. I connected the receipt printer to the airport express using the USB slot available. While the printer comes up as available, when I attempt to print something, I get the error message "An error occurred printing this document" and I can cancel or Try again. No matter how many times I try, I continue to get this message and I lost as to the cause. When I disconnect and reconnect, another instance of the printer appears, but receive the same cryptic error message when I try to print. Totally lost, please help

    Hi kelston3,
    In order to print from an iPad you will need to use a printer that is compatible with AirPrint, which is described in the following article -
    About AirPrint
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
    AirPrint printers must be wireless on your network - not connected via USB to the base station. There is a list of printers that are known to be compatible with AirPrint in the article.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Airport Express and a host of problems!

    Hi I'm running a PB G4 10.4.6 with Airport Express v6.3 at work. I have a Canon i6500 and speakers plugged in.
    Work has a Netgear wireless network.
    I have three problems.
    I want to use the AE as a booster for the Netgear network but can't I only have 1 bar on my reception indicator.
    The printer stops printing on large files.
    My airtunes drops out continuously.
    I have trawled through 20 of pages of discussions but not found any answers that solve my problem.
    My colleague on an iBook doesn't have any drop out problems with airtunes but does with the joining the network and printing.
    I am sat almost on top of the AE!
    I have AE at home and Airtunes has never had a problem.
    I have no hair left... please help!

    Hi Tim,
    Could there be Interference problems?

    Have you reset the Airport Express and try the Airport Setup Assistant?
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044
    Are the speakers you are streaming iTunes to in the same room as the computer you are using?
    What is your Streaming Buffer Rate set at in iTunes Preferences>Advance?
    Do you have all the lastest updates.....airport firmware, OSX, iTunes?

  • Vonage between cable modem and Airport Express is a problem

    I have my Comcast cable modem connected via Ethernet to the Vonage box which is connected via Ethernet cable to my Airport Express. When I try to connect wirelessly via my Powerbook it's a crapshoot whether or not I can connect to the internet. Mostly the quality is very poor if you can connect at all. If I cut the Vonage out of the equation hooking the cable modem to the Airport Express it works perfect. So Vonage is my problem and I need to change some settings either with my computer or my Airport Express, but which ones? I've been given several different ideas from the information I've sifted through (i.e. change the DNS, change the sharing prefs, get a hard wired router). Oddly enough an old HP computer I have in the basement connected to the internet via another Airport Express has no problems with connection at all. If someone could let me know which of these fixes I am preparing to try would work the best I would appreciate it.

    Interesting. So you have two Airport Express devices configured into a WDS, with the one upstairs functioning as the main base station and the one downstairs functioning as a remote base station. And your PC downstairs connected to the remote base station has no problems connecting to the internet. Is that PC cabled to the Airport Express, or does it connect wirelessly to the remote Airport Express?
    What happens if you bring the Powerbook downstairs to where the PC now resides. Does the Powerbook then get the same great internet connection as the PC?

  • Is Printer HP Laserjet 1018 compatible with Airport Express and windows

    I am using HP Laserjet 1018 which is connected directly to the PC.
    As it is a USB printer but not a wifi one, can I connect it to Airport Express and will it be recognised ?
    Thank you for your answers.

  • Problem with Airport Express and HP PSC 1410

    Please I really need help. I just bought a HP PSC 1410 (all in one) and I connected on Airport Express and I can't print trought it. I tried to connect it by USB and it work perfectly. When you want to had the printer in printer utility you can find the right driver for the printer. Rendez-vous can find it but you can not install it...
    I tried many different way but it never worked.
    please help me ???

    I suggest you return the PSC1410 for refund, or for credit towards the purchase of another printer. This printer will not work when connected via an Airport Express. When you purchase your next printer, chose one found on the unofficial compatibility list at http://www.efelix.co.uk/tech/1013.html
    In general, all-in-one printers are poor choices for connecting via an Airport Express. Even if you do get them to work, you can only make use of their printing function.

  • Airport express only prints black and white

    I'm using a macbook 13" with an airport express and an HP deskjet 4100. I can print wirelessly just fine, but I can only print in black and white. Any ideas how to remedy this situation?

    I would recommend posting your item in the Leopard Printing forum, it seems your Airport Express is working fine if the printer is printing, however there seems to be an issue with the driver. Try to going to:
    1. System Preferences, then click on Print and Fax. Choose your printer on the left box and click the - sign below. Then click the + sign and add your printer back then try printing again.

  • Airport Express and HP F4180 All in One Printer

    Hi 
    I just bought an Apple Airport Express to connect my F4180 to my wireless home network. This F4180 used to be connected directly via USB to my Vista PC and was available to the other laptops by sharing the printer. This worked ok, but I always had to start this specific computer to make the F4180 available for the other laptops.
    After installing the Airport Express and Bonjour everything seemed perfect, but after the first print I noticed that only 60% of the page was printed and an error occured. I tried everything, installing, reinstalling, deleting, reading forums, helpdesks, etc, etc, but did not find an answer.
    Does anyone have a clue?
    Thanx in advance
    Henri
    Vista,
    HP F4180 All in One printer,
    Apple Airport Express (latest version),
    Apple Bonjour (latest version),
    Linksys E200 wireless
    Apple Airport Express installed as extension of existing network

    This combination SHOULD work but it often does not.  I have replaced several base routers from non-Airport to Airport and resolved issues like this - USB printers, AirPlay issues, etc.  Its the only way I know how to make it work, sorry.
    Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

  • HT3728 I do not need another wireless network but want to use the airport express for printer access only.  Can this be done and how?

    I do not need another wireless network but want to use the airport express for printer access only.  Can this be done and how?

    You can configure the AirPort Expess to "Join a wireless network" and enable the Ethernet port so that Ethernet devices will be able to connect.
    In order to print from the iOS devices, you will need to have an application like Printopia installed on your Mac. The Mac must be active when you want to print.
    More details here: Printopia - AirPrint to Any Printer - Print from iPad - Print from iPhone ...
    There is a free trial available for Printopia, so make sure that it will work before you buy the AirPort Express.

  • Airport Express to printer AND external hard drive?

    Does anyone know if it's possible to split the usb port on the airport express, and backup wirelessly to an external hard drive, AND print wirelessly to a printer? Thanks!

    Welcome to the discussion area, cwugigi!
    +Does anyone know if it's possible to split the usb port on the airport express, and backup wirelessly to an external hard drive, AND print wirelessly to a printer? Thanks!+
    The AirPort Express does not support a hard drive at its USB port, so the answer would be no. This would be possible on an AirPort Extreme.
    You could connect several compatible printers to the AirPort Express, if you used a powered USB hub.
