Airport Express can find my printer (Lexmark z55) but cant print ?

Hi
At home i use Airport express with lexmark z52 and all work fine ...
At my parants house they got a Airport express with a lexmark z55 and the Airport express can see the printer but when i try to print it says "Problem communicating with the printer" ive tryed to disable firewall but that didnt help.
Ive tryed with a HP deskjet 450 and it works with that one ...i think its the Lexmark driver (i tryed these ones http://downloads.lexmark.com/cgi-perl/downloads.cgi?ccs=229:1:0:339:0:0&searchLa ng=en&os_group=WinXP&target= )
but no luck ...im running WinXP
So if you got any idea please lemme know
Best Regards
Michael Fog
Ps : I have also tryed the Bonjour program no luck

  • Airport Express can find printer but can't print to it?

    My wife wants to be able to print from her iPad to our printer (Epson RX680). The printer itself is not wireless but I was told the main purpose of the AirPort Express is to give your printer wireless printing capability. Here's my rundown.
    Mac Pro desktop (2007) running OSX (10.7.2)
    AirPort Express (latest firmware update)
    I have the AirPort Express plugged in, ethernet cable from port 1 in my router connected to AP Express, USB from my printer into the AP Express. Print Sharing is on. Ran AirPort Utility. I believe I used AirPrint Activator to get my printer to be recognized. I don't have and AirPort card in my Mac Pro so I'm not able to test printing from my computer but AirPrint does not work from an iPad or iPhone. I tried a reset several times in hopes that trying several different set ups would work.
    I emailed Epson. This printer is not listed as an AirPrint printer. They said I'd need to contact Apple. So if my printer is not capable of AirPrint then what good is the AirPort Express? Apparently if I had an AirPort capable printer I wouldn't need the AirPort Express to print anyway?
    Anyone know how to get the AirPort Express to work with nonWiFi printers? Thanks.

    Thanks for the info. I think you may have mixed things up a bit. The link that Tesserax provided mentioned that AirPrint Activator was now known as Handy Print.

    Airprint Activator, now known as handyPrint, is an app that lets you put Airprint support on older printing devices that do not natively support this protocol.......

  • Airport Express, can't stream from my macbook but it works from other devic

    I connected airport express to my hifi.
    Want to stream my music wireless to the stereo.
    It works fine with my iphone and ipad but it doesn't with my macbook.
    I see the station after clicking the symbol in itunes but after a short while of searching it stopps without connection.
    What do I need to do. Some setup on my macbook?

    Also, the new AirPort Utility can't see the Airport Express either, and the option for multiple speakers has vanished from the bottom right corner in iTunes. 

  • I have an Ipad and Iphone but I don't have an Airprint, only a WIFI printer,my question is if I connect the wifi printer to Airport express, can I print from Ipad and Iphone ?

    I have an Ipad and Iphone but I don't have an Airprint at home but only a WIFI printer, my question is if I connect the wifi printer to Airport express, can I print from Ipad and Iphone ? Please help me if anyone knows about this.

    Unfortunately, connecting a non-AirPrint-enabled printer to an AirPort base station's USB port will not make it AirPrint-ready.
    You will need to use another solution, like Printopia, to be able to print to this printer from an iOS device.

  • HP Laserjet 1020 connected to Airport Express - Can't Print from Windows XP

    Hi,
    I have been using Airport Express for almost a year now, and it works fine with my old LaserJet 1200 connected to it, meaning that BOTH my ThinkPad(WinXP) and PowerBook(OSX 10.3) prints off the printer nicely. Last week I bought a LaserJet 1020 to replace the old printer. Now I can only print off my Mac, and not the ThinkPad.
    Here are some additional information:
    - Airport Express has been updated with latest updates.
    - Using newest printer driver available from the HP website.
    - New printer works when connected to ThinkPad via USB.
    - New printer works when connected to Airport Express and printing performed using my PowerBook.
    Therefore, My conclusion is that Airport Express and Printer is working just fine, and that it's just my ThinkPad not being configured correctly. (Although at the back of my head I am guessing that just MAYBE it's the Airport Express not accepting a different printer)
    This is what I did to install the printer from my ThinkPad to work with Airport Express (which is not working):
    1. Add a printer
    2. Local printer attached to computer (no auto detect)
    3. Selected existing TCP/IP port 10.0.1.1
    4. Selected my new printer driver
    5. Finish
    I also tried a few things like:
    - Deleting the TCP/IP port and creating it again before installing the new printer again.
    - Off both airport express and printer and on again after about 10sec.Airport was on first, and after the LED turn green, printer was turned on and USB plugged into airport.
    - Restarting my ThinkPad.
    I have tried everything that I can think of, and nothing worked... hence this posting to get professional help.

    Hi,
    You might want to download and install bonjour for windows to your Thinkpad it is how I got my roomates XP laptop to print on AX.

  • Airport Express can't find internet during initial install to extend wifi from Airport Extreme

    Currently have Airport Extreme but need to reinforce signal.  Bought Airport Express.  Only way to get Airport Express to find Internet is to connect directly to cable modem (even then, it did NOT show up on Airport Utility).  Thus, have not been able to configure Express either wirelessly or using Ethernet.

    Thanks for the info.
    Please power off the AirPort Extreme, wait a minute, then power it back up.
    Power up the AirPort Express for a few minutes
    Hold in the reset button on the Express for 8-10 seconds and release, then allow a full minute for the AirPort Express to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
    If you plan to leave the AirPort Express permanently connected to the AirPort Extreme, run the Ethernet cable from a LAN <--> port on the AirPort Extreme to the WAN "O" port on the AirPort Express.
    If you plan to have the AirPort Express connect using wireless only, then do not connect an Ethernet cable to the Express at any time
    On the iPad home screen.....
    Tap Settings
    Tap WiFi
    Wait a few seconds for a setting of Set Up a New AirPort Base Station to appear
    Tap on AirPort Express just below that setting
    The utility will open up automatically and take a minute to analyze the network, then announce that the AirPort Express will be configured to extend the AirPort Extreme network
    Enter a device name that you want to use for the AirPort Express.  Keep the name short and simple, like Express, for example
    Tap on Next
    The utility will set the Express up for you automatically with the correct settings.
    When you see the message appear of Setup Complete, tap Done
    You are done, assuming that the AirPort Express is operating correctly.

  • Airport Express can't be found wired, or wirelessly

    Since it return from the trip, the AE didn't seem to work. It could not be found/accessed wirelessly or via ethernet cable. The status light is on solid yellow, for about 20 seconds, it would blink green for 1 second, then back to solid yellow. It repeats and repeats, no matter how many times i reset it. When connected via ethernet, the mac shows that the ethernet cable is unplugged. Only during the 1 second of green light the ethernet status on the mac will change to unknown, then the whole thing repeats. Any help? Any one?

    I can't access the video from that link. Are you sure the URL is correct?
    You may have already done this, but if not, here are the settings you'll need to change in Manual Setup:
    1) Although not necessary, you may want to go to the "Base Station" tab and give your Express a name and password.
    2) Go to the "Wireless" tab and choose "Join a wireless network." Enter the network name. (Be sure to use correct capitalization, as it is case-sensitive.) Put a check in the "Allow Ethernet clients" checkbox, choose the correct security mode for your network, and enter the network password.
    For the time being, that's all that needs to be changed. Press "Update" and let the Express restart. Then connect to it with an Ethernet cable and disable your computer's WiFi. Rescan a few times by pressing Cmd+R. This should allow AirPort Utility to find the Express.
    Another thing: you mentioned your Express was an older one. When you select your Express in the sidebar, if AirPort Utility doesn't say "AirPort Utility found an AirPort Express 802.11n," then your Express a pre-802.11n model, and you won't see the "Allow Ethernet clients" checkbox. I'm pretty sure you can't use the Ethernet port of a pre-802.11n Express that's in "Join a Wireless Network" mode, so if your Express is pre-802.11n, set the mode to "Create a wireless network" instead. Give this network a name different from that of your existing network. Then press "Update", let the Express restart, connect it to your computer by Ethernet, and see if AirPort Utility can find it. Also check whether it actually creates the network you told it to create.
    Post back with your results!

  • Airport Express can't see Linksys router

    Hi, I'm getting nowhere trying to get my Airport Express to find my Linksys E2000 router and I hope someone here can help.
    The E2000 is connected to the internet and both laptops in the house, an iphone and an Android phone can all use it successfully. I have a 1 month old Airport Express which I'd like to use to stream music. Until today I've been using the Express as the wireless router without problems so I know it can be used in that capacity. In the Airport Utility, the Express is found but after setting the Wireless Mode to 'Join a wireless network', the droplist of visible networks does not include the E2000's secured network. Curiously, the unsecured guest network created by the E2000 can be seen. The network which can't be seen is secured with WPA2-PSK. I've tried disabling the firewall on the E2000 but this had no effect.
    Has anyone else come across anything similar with the Linksys routers or similar? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    It won't come up up in Airport Admin Utility. To configure the router launch a browser. Typically Linksys routers use 192.168.1.1 as the admin address for their routers. Once there, use admin as the password to gain access. If it won't let you in you will need to reset the router to factory default settings. Check the Linksys web site for the router manual.

  • Airport express can't extend wireless network

    Airport express(A1264) can't extend wireless network. It seems that Airport express can't find my home Wi-Fi network. Amber light is blinking, and AirPort Utility of MacBook also can't find Airport express.
    If AE is connected with TC via LAN cable, amber light is blinking with message "Wireless Network" (This Airport base station is set up to join a specific wireless network that can't be found...)
    It was successful only once, but all failed after that.
    Is there solution for this problem?
    [My system]
    Time capsule 4th generation
    Airport express 1st generation (A1264)
    [Settings]
    Time capsule (ethernet connected)
    - Create a wireless network
    - 802.11a/n - 802.11b/g/n (Automatic)
    - 2.4GHz / 5GHz Channel (Autmatic)
    - WPA2 Personal
    Airport express
    - Extend a wireless network
    - WPA2 Personal
    - 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network name and Password is set up

    If AE is connected with TC via LAN cable, amber light is blinking with message "Wireless Network" (This Airport base station is set up to join a specific wireless network that can't be found...)
    Sorry, I misunderstood what you wanted to do.
    Since you did tell us that you had the Express connected with an Ethernet cable, I assumed that was how you wanted to configure the Express.
    But I want to extend a wireless network (not using ethernet)
    Because Airport Express and Time Capsule cannot be connect via ethernet cable.
    Follow the same setup as above....and do not connect an Ethernet cable.
    Keep the Express near the Time Capsule for the setup. Once you have a green light, move the Express to a point that is about half way between the Time Capsule and area that needs more wireless coverage.
    If you reset the Express several times and try the setup several times without success, I think you have to suspect a defective Express.

  • After updating Time Capsule to 7.7.2, Airport Expresses can no longer connect

    After I update the Time Capsule firmware to 7.7.2, my three Airport Expresses can no longer connect to the Time Capsule (their orange lights blink and they appear inaccessible in the Airport Utility). When I downgrade, they are able to connect fine.
    They are connecting to the Time Capsule over my 5GhZ wireless network.
    Any help?

    Theoretically as much as you want but there are technical limitations about the usable bandwidth in the wireless or by the used access point.
    All participants (stations) in a wireless network share the available bandwhith equally and therefore a point will get reached where the throughput in the network became insufficient to stream music.
    Also some routers limit the number of stations could get connected. For instance Apples Airport Extreme have a limit of 50 connected clients and the AP-Express (if used as access point) a limit of 10 simultaneous connections.

  • How many airport express can I add to my network for the purpose of using the airport express to send audio signal to different rooms in the house? I'm interested I'm running about six different zones.

    How many airport express can I add to my network for the purpose of using the airport express to send audio signal to different rooms in the house? I'm interested I'm running about six different zones.
    What I'm looking to do is to have self powered in ceiling speakers in every room in my house with out having to run wires to every room to carry the audio signal. I would like to use the airport express to do the job of carting the audio signal.
    Here's my set up now I have an airport extreme and one airport express that I use to carry audio to one room.

    FWIW. I have used up to four AirPort Express Base Stations (AX) for streaming sucessfully in pretty much the way you have described. I didn't have a need to try more so I can't attest that more would or would not work.

  • How many airport express can be supported by software remote at one time.

    how many airport express can be supported by software remote at one time?
    I mean remote software can control at one time

    Well Apple makes an iOS application called 'Remote' it's used to control iTunes on a Mac, Or to control an Apple TV Multimedia features.
    Apple also makes "AirPort Utility" for iOS. Airport Utility can be used to configure Aiport Extrem, Airport Express And Time Capsul using an iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch. You can use it to connect to one device at a time. While connected to the device you can configure it to work as part of a larger Airport network. If you want to configure muliple device, you would connect to one device,  configure it,  And then connect to the next device, and configure it, and so on and so fourth.
    I haven't found a limit.
    How big of a network are you trying to make?
