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

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • 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.

  • Airport Express and BT Homehub - how can I get it to work?

    Hello, can someone help??
    I have an Airport Express and a MacBook. My only use for my Airport Express is purely to play ITunes music through my stereo via my MacBook wirelessly. Therefore I only require my Airport Express to join my current network.
    I recently changed my phone and broadband network provider from Talk Talk back to BT. My Airport Express worked fine when I was with Talk Talk, I was using a Belkin wireless router for my network connection which worked without any problems. When I got my Airport Express, it was easy to set up - it joined my Talk Talk network without a hitch.
    When my connection transferred to BT last week, I tried to connect up my Airport Express to my new BT Homehub. However when I went into Airport Utility my AX wasn't there. So, I read the guide on the Apple Support site and reset it to factory settings. This then seemed to make it 'appear' in Airport Utility, so I went through the process of setting it up as I did when I first bought it. When I got through to the final stage when it is 'Updated successfully and is now re-starting', the AX icon seems to disappear from the left hand side of the box and eventually I get an error message stating 'Airport Utility was unable to find your Apple wireless device after reinstating: The settings for this apple device have been successfully updated but there was a problem re-joining the wireless network or finding the apple wireless device. You may need to select your network from the airport menu and try again' (Incidentally, this last piece of advice doesn't work)... So, I am not sure what to do. I have tried changing the format of the WEP code I need to enter by adding " in front of the code as well as $ as is the suggestion on the Apple Support site...
    Is my AX faulty? Is my BT Homehub (The 'next generation of router' as BT call it) preventing my AX from joining my network?? If anyone can help I would appreciate it, I am not very clued up on these things.... :o)
    Thanks

    I have now managed to get AX working on my BT home hub. I took my second non-working unit back to Apple in Solihull and got them to test it in store. They agreed it wasn't working. They then tested another unit in store and that did work so I brought that home. It would be worth you doing the same as I got a 10% discount off my next purchase of anything at Apple for my troubles.
    I set my homehub security to None (from WEP - in homehub manager/advanced/wireless/security), plugged in my AX to homehub using an ethernet cable, then ran Airport utility and after a couple of runs it finally picked it up. I was able to set the configurations I wanted and 24 hours later it is still working. I set my homehub security settings back to WEP as soon as the AX was configured.
    I also installed airport utility on my son's windows laptop and that is now able to print wirelessly as well. So, finally a result.
    I would suggest you take your unit back to where you bought it from and get them to test it. If they offer you another one ask for a Mac genius
    to test it in store for you first. Also ask them to run through the installation procedure with you. Don't forget to ask for something for your troubles:)
    Hope that helps,

  • A Time Capsule, Airport Express and AT&T 2Wire walk into a bar...

    Alas, I'm sure this question has been asked before, but my reserach keeps turning up separate answers.  So I thought I'd turn to this forum for some advice.  Ultimately I'm seeks suggestions on various ways to configure my network to allow easy backups, connection two rooms, and wirelessly print from anywhere.
    I have a: 
    Time Capsule (dual band) - used for Time Machine backups
    Airport Express (older)
    and new 2Wire 3800HGV-B wireless modem/router from AT&T (for U-verse internet/TV)
    My room configuration is:
    Living room with TV, internet connected DVD player, and new AT&T 2Wire Wireless U-verse modem
    Home office with 2 desktop comptuers (no wireless cards) and a USB printer. 
    Two roaming laptops which move around the rest of the house
    The livingroom and the office can't be connected with a physical wire. 
    What I was hoping to do was setup my office with the Time Capsule in the office as a wired hub, and then use it as a wirelessly bridge to the 2Wire network.  But as I understand it, a Time Capsule can't be used as a bridge to a non-Apple product.  Please correct me if I'm wrong. 
    Alternately I could always get wireless cards for the desktop computers, but this leaves the printer.
    I've read suggesitons of people who have used their TC as the primary router, disabling wireless on their AT&T 2Wire, and hooking the two together with ethernet.  Others who just join the TC to the 2Wireness network.  But really what I'm seeking is a way to join the two rooms. 
    Any thoughts?  Am I asking the right questions or providing the right information?
    Much thanks,
    dana.

    So I figured I'd go with an initial suggestion and attached my TC via ethernet to the 2Wire modem/router in my living room, and make the TC my primary wireless router.
    Good plan
    since both will be in the same room, I assume I need to disable wireless on the 2Wire
    Correct
    What kind of configuration do I need to do on the TC, or do I just following the wizard and select 'Extend existing network'?
    You can follow the guided setup or I can give you a step by step manual setup. In either case, you will configure the TC to "Create a wireless network". 
    ("Extend" is only used if the TC connects using wireless only....you will be using Ethernet from one of the LAN <-> ports on the 2-Wire to the WAN port (world icon) on the TC.
    The guided setup will normally sense that the TC is connected to another router and suggest that the TC be configured in Bridge Mode, which is the correct setting. Otherwise, select the Bridge Mode option when it is presented.
    Note....If you have a newer dual band TC, the Guest Network option cannot be enabled when the TC is configured in Bridge Mode. So, if you want a "Guest" network, maybe the 2-Wire could provide that service.
    Should I attach this (via ethernet) to the TC or the 2Wire?
    Pick a LAN <-> port on either one, your choice, whichever is easier
    What should the AT&T DVR be connected to?
    I'm not familiar with an AT&T DVR, but if it connects via Ethernet, you can connect to a LAN <-> port on either the 2-Wire or the TC
    For printing, my plan is to attach the printer through USB to the Airport Express and then connect that wirelessly to the TC network (though my first attempt at this failed to connect).
    Suggest that you get the TC up and working smoothly. Then tackle the Express.

  • How do I install a new airport express and link a second airport express to extend the network of the first airport express?

    I currently have a linksys wireless router attached to the Internet.  I have an A1264 Airport Express connected by Ethernet to the linksys router.  I have two network names, one for each wireless network.
    I purchased a new A1392 Airport Express to replace the linksys router and join to the A1264 Airport Express, and I want to have one network name as a result.
    How do I do this?  I realize that I have to reconfigure the A1264 device so that it is an extension of the A1392 device.

    You have a fairly complicated set up, so I suggest that it would make sense to tackle things in stages, testing each stage as  you go, before proceding to the next stage.
    Stage 1 would be setting up the A1392 first to the cable modem, and then making sure that everything is working correctly on the A1392 Express
    Stage 2 would be adding the Netgear switch and testing each port with a laptop connected via Ethernet to make sure that everything is operational on the switch
    Stage 3 would be connecting the A1264 Express and testing to make sure that it is extending the network correctly
    Stage 4 would be adding other Ethernet devices to the Netgear switch and testing each one at a time before adding the next device. There is some question about whether an iOS device can print to an Ethernet connected printer....even if the printer is AirPrint compatible. You may need to connect the HP using wireless...not Ethernet....to gain full AirPrint functionality, or use another application that will allow printing like Printopia or Print Central using the Ethernet connection on the HP.
    Stage 5 would be adding the printer to the A1264 AirPort Express.
    You do not mention how the printer will connect to the A1264 Express, but I assume that it will be USB from your description.  Most printers will work, but you really will not know if your printer will work until you try.
    Remember that only printing will be supported at the USB port of the Express. If you have an all-in-one type device, scan, maintenance, and other advanced features will not be operational whent the device is connected to the AirPort Express.
    If you want to print from an iOS device like an iPad or iPhone, plan to add additonal software like Printopia or Print Central to possibly allow this function. There are no guarantees here as far as the iOS devices.

  • Best way to extend wireless via airport express and time capsule

    best way to extend wireless via airport express and time capsule
    i live in a two storey house where i use my airport express to create a wireless network in the main floor, and time capsule to extend it in the upper floor, where my room is. i have like 16 mbps in the main floor, and 2-3 mbps in the upper floor after having speediest.
    i used time capsule in the upper floor because i use wireless backup daily and don't want to put internet down while i im doin it and consequently my parent can have internet access in the main floor, am i right? or do i have make just the opposite in order to have a good internet speed?
    secondly, while checking airport express wireless mode on airport utility, there is like 4 different type of radio mode(802 11n bg comp, 802 11n 2.4, 802 11n a comp, 802 11n 5ghz) which i have no idea what they mean
    what do you recommend?
    we have like iphone4, iphone 3g, mbookpro, ipad, ipad 2, samsung tv and a sony vaio laptop in the wireless network
    thank you

    What you have would appear to be working but I can comment how I would redefine your setup.  Note that both Airport Express and Time Capsule can function as wireless base stations so you do have wireless everywhere and at all times — using the Time Capsules for backups doesn’t mean your parents won’t have internet access regardless of the where the base stations are located.
    You appear to have devices to connect to your network that use the 2.4 GHz band with 802.11g such as the iPhone 3G and perhaps the 5 GHz band with 802.11n such as likely the Macbook Pro if it’s a recent model.  The iPhone 4 can use 5 GHz and 802.11n.  Can’t comment on the Sony and Samsung but you can check their specs.
    Now the Time Capsule (if it’s a recent version), can simultaneously supply 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band signals, but the Airport Express (if it’s recent) can only use one of those bands at one time.  Likely the lowest common denominator for your devices is going to be the 2.4 GHz band since the devices that are capable of using 5 GHZ also support 2.4 GHz.  If you don’t use 5 GHz, you won’t lose much in a two-storey home because likely it’s the 2.4 GHz band is better signal anyway because 5 GHz signals drop off quickly with several walls/floors to penetrate.
    You also didn’t mention if the Airport Express is used to support a printer and/or AirPlay (using iTunes to play on remote speakers via the Airport Express connection) but that might also be a factor in the best location to place the Airport Express.  Although the printer could be switched between the Time Capsule and the Airport Express if needed, only the Airport Express will support your remote speakers.
    Recommend you use the Time Capsule as the Base station.  When using Airport Utility to define the network, after you name your network, etc., select the Wireless tab, check the box “Allow this network to be extended” and set the Radio Mode to "802.11n (802.11b/g compatible)”.
    Using the Airport Utility, click on the Airport Express; after you define the device and network name, select the Wireless tab, define the Wireless Mode as “Extend a Wireless Network” and check the box “Allow wireless clients”. 
    Hope that helps.
