Airport Express HP6500, print job stopped errors

Looks like this is a re-occuring theme and many posts here indicate it's a common problem with Cannon Printers, but I'm using an HP 6500, and have been for over a year with no probelm. Now I get a print job stopped message, and when I try to restart the job, I am told a connection could not be made.
I have tried deleting and re-adding the HP - no luck.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

OK - so the printer is a 6540, but in the print area under preferences, it calls it a 6500 - what gives?

Print job stops

I can print on my Epson R2400 from Photoshop when I go to External Editor, but whenever I try to print via Aperture, the print job stops.
I've been printing successfully with earlier versions of Aperture. I've reinstalled Aperture 1.1.2 and I've deleted and added the R2400.
Thanks

AirPort Express password & printer trouble

I recently upgraded from Tiger to Leopard to Snow Leopard. Since then I have been unable to use my AirPort Express to print to my HP Photosmart C4180.
In trying to solve this problem, I came across this article http://support.apple.com/kb/TA21200 When I open the Utilities for AirPort it says that I need to update my firmware, but it requires my password to do so. The password that I wrote down for the AirPort does not work, nor does any other one I ever use. There is no "forgot password" button, so what should I do?
Thanks!

Welcome to the discussions!
When you are updating firmware or system software, you are asked for your main administrator password. This is the password you setup to log onto your Mac.

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.

Printing from XP to Airport Express-connected printer stopped working

We have an HP printer hooked up to an Airport Express. We have a Windows XP machine that has been set up to print using Bonjour and the Airport, and it has been working for months. Suddenly, it is not working. Documents get to the printer queue, but then error out.
We also have a Power Mac set up, running Tiger, that still works. We can also hook up the printer directly to the Windows PC and it prints fine. We have tried the following:
-Recreating the printer in Windows. (The Bonjour Wizard finds the printer just fine.)
-Reinstalling Bonjour 1.04
-Restarting Windows and the printer and the AE (several times)
-Turning off the firewall
-Printing documents from multiple applications
-Creating a printer with a generic driver
No matter what, the document errors out in the printer queue when we try to print wirelessly from the PC. We don't know exactly when this started, because we haven't printed anything in a while. We can't think of any changes that have been made recently, except for automatic Windows updates. Has anyone else seen this problem recently? Any suggestions?

Excellent...great find! Had the same problem. Mac PB and two PC laptops on XP via Bonjour have been printing fine for many years through an Airport Extreme to an HP 7300 AIO printer. Then one day last week the Mac continued printing fine over wifi to Airport Extreme but both PC's (one Dell and one Compaq) stopped printing both via direct wired USB and wifi through the AE. Microsoft must have put out an update that hosed something on the XP side. Tried reinstalling drivers, deleting and rebuilding bonjour printer, resetting devices, etc. Nothing fixed it. Found this link and reconfigured the port as mentioned above to AE's IP address, RAW setting was already set, and they are now printing fine again. Thx for the help!

Print Job Stopped on HP1300 using APEX

Hello,
I noticed several user have problems with their printer connected via Airport. Mine used to work fine, until I changed my internet provider two weeks ago and had to input the new details, and re started the APEX. Internet is working very well, so does ITunes wireless, just when I send a print job, it just stops. It is recognised via Bonjour, but does not responds. Printing works fine via USB. Are there any settings I overlooked?
I have an IBook bought May 2005 with Tiger from Apple Store Germany together with printer HP1300 and several Airport Express Stations.
I appreciate any help!

Hello Henry,
all Airport Stations are recognised. I just connected the printer to the station in the living room, listen to music from ITunes right now, printer is recognised connected to this Airport Station, but the print job still stops.
It is frustrating, and a hassle to connect the printer via USB each time you need to print......BUT....nothing compared to the hassle I had with "other" operation system LOL!
Thank you for your reply

Can't Get new Airport Express 802.11g to stop blinking on initial setup

Hoping someone here might be able to give me some guidance on this.
A few weeks ago I purchashed an Airport Express with Airtunes g (new, but marked down) - I tried and successfully connected it one afternoon to remote speakers from my Intel Mac Mini 2.0. I didn't have the time then to complete the install, and I was having difficulty with the printer (Epson 530) so I thought I wouuld work on it more later when I had time.
This time when I went to plug in the Airport it won't stop blinking. Furthermore, when I attempt to connect, the Mac will show the network, but then it will "disappear" about 10 seconds later, and the reappear 30 seconds after again on scan. I followed what I thought were the reset instructions, but when I use Airport utility it will either not show my base station, or if it does, and I click to connect, after a period of time I receive an error message that it was unable to connect and to close out the window and try again. One time earlier this evening I was able to "set up" a network, but when it went to the final setup, something screwed up and it lost connection to the base station. Ever since then the Mac either doesn't see the Base station, or it will see it for a few seconds and then disappear. Also it's never stopped blinking (from what I can tell - I have the unit plugged in another room from the Mac when setting it up).
I want to use the Airport Express for Airtunes and to share a printer wirelessly but NOT to connect to the internet via ethernet (don't have high speed at this location) - and also to access my iTunes files from my netbook in the other room - additionally, I'd like to be able to use my ipod touch as a wireless remote to iTunes. If and when high speed becomes possible I'll use it for that also, but for now, I only want it set up for a network between my computers for iTunes.
Anyone have any ideas? Other than to smash this box against the wall? They make it look so easy on the commercial.....
Respectfully submitted
Len

Hello and thank you for replying. I was attempting to set up the airport express in the another room from the Mac Mini (the printer and other computers are in the back office) - and it wouldn't recognize. So I reset the express, then plugged it in directly underneath the mac, and I was able to set up a wireless system that way. I then went and plugged it back in to the back, and having it locate the signal from up front was a bit dodgy at first (I think there is a lot of metal in the wall the signal is going through - additionally the Mac mini is underneath the counter up front)
But I was finally able to get it to work by putting the airport express on an extention cord, and repositoining it about halfway up the wall on a makeshift shelf. Now my iPod touch "sees" the wireless network, so I'm able to control iTunes from the back room. Additionally, my windows netbook (Acer aspire One) sees my itunes library, although that only wo Wr ks some of the time. Not quite sure why it performs sometimes and not others.
I haven't tried connecting the printer yet, as I need to get an extention USB in order to do so.
It's my hope that eventually we will get a high speeed connection here at my workplace and I'll be able to take full advantage of the express.
Again, thanks for your suggestions - it is still blinking amber, but everything else seems to be working that I have attempted.

Initial Print jobs 'communication error with device'. Pause and restart job

So, I have an odd variant of the Leopard print problem; on 3 separate systems.
When I print to an HP Photosmart C7180, which setup fine, which I can scan to fine, the print job throws an error :error communicating with device, switch on and off' and so forth. It does that from any app, and consistently. I am printing via bonjour, the printer is networked, but on a static IP.
To fix this EVERY-TIME I PAUSE printer, then start printer again. It immediately starts working, consistently until I sleep, log out, or don't print for a while.
This seems to be some timeout issue or such. I tried IP printing, but no difference.
Resetting the print system also did not help.
It's not catastrophic but sooo annoying. Any input appreciated!
Thx,
Dan

Hello SunnygirlQ. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Unfortunately, not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations. In addition, the AirPort's USB port does not support the "advanced" printer functions, like scanning, copying or faxing, of multi-function printers.
To see if your printer is compatible, take a look at this iFelix Unofficial AirPort Printer Compatibility link.
If your printer isn't listed, it doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, but simply that it has not been verified. iFelix also provides the following workaround for printers not on the list that would certainly be worth a try.
Also you can try this Apple Tech Support article to see if it will help:
o Printer troubleshooting for AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express
I assume that this printer works just fine when it is connected directly to your Mac ... correct? If so, has it worked when connected to the AX in the past ... or has it always had this problem? If it did work correctly before, did you do any updates, especially to the AX, recently?

Airport Express USB Printer Visible, but Not Printing

I've connected my printer (HPc7260) to my Airport Express. It is visible on the network. But print jobs get stopped and the print utility says the printer is offline.
Any thoughts?
+This question is also posted in follow up to a thread I started earlier, which was answered helpfully by Duane (thread: How Setup Airport Express for Wireless Printing to HP Photosmart C7280) Sorry for redundancy and clutter. I hadn't followed up on the old thread for a few days. Thought it might not get another response.+

Solved.
A restart, followed by reselecting the printer in the print dialog got the job done.

Can I use Airport Express for printing and Ethernet printing at same time?

I've been trying to set up a couple of laser printers that were given to me recently. The printers are Apple LaserWriter 16/600 PS and Samsung CLP-510. The reason I'd like to have both up and running is because the black toner for the Samsung costs twice as much as the toner for the LaserWriter. I have two questions that I am hoping someone will be able to answer.
1) The CLP prints a test page just fine. I was finally able to get the Samsung printing while directly connected to my PowerBook G4 via usb (I had to install a Xerox Phaser 6100 driver to do so!). Today I tried putting the usb into my Airport Express (which I use for my portable internet and airtunes) and now the printer does not respond. When I try to add the CLP as a bonjour printer, I get an error adding the printer and the printer does not respond. Can someone offer some advice as to how and if the CLP may work via the Airport Express?
2) The LaserWriter prints a test page just fine. I purchased a transceiver (albeit not an Apple transceiver - this one says Asante Friendlynet, the guy I bought it from said it would work though). The transceiver is connected to the Ethernet port on the printer - and I have a yellow ethernet cable (?) running from the transceiver to the ethernet port on my computer. I read somewhere on the internet that I need to turn on Appletalk in order to use the printer via ethernet but when I went into my network settings to do that, there was a warning that I could not turn on appletalk for ethernet without forsaking my airport. Can someone offer some advice as to how and if the 16/600 PS may work via ethernet without disrupting my (working) airport express? Also - I did not receive any software or drivers with this printer but I read that I may not need to (they come with Tiger - ?) Is anyone able to confirm this?
Any help would be TOTALLY appreciated!
Leigh-Ann

Hello Kappy! Thank you for taking the time to reply to my question.
I should update you at this point to say that I can add the 16/600 PS printer through a process that I found called 'Direct IP printing over ethernet'. (I think I've done this correctly - but I honestly have no idea about network stuff). Here's what I did:
-went into system prefs and looked at the network settings under built-in ethernet tab. Under TCP-IP I found the IP address of my network host.
-In the Printer Setup Utility I tried to manually add the 16/600 PS printer. In the Printer Browser window, I selected IP Printer.
-Under IP printer, I selected LPD Protocol. I inserted the IP address copied from my network settings (above) in the address bar. In the Queue bar I typed in the name of the printer 'Apple LaserWriter 16/600 PS'.
-Again in the Printer Browser box I gave the printer a name and location. Finally, in the 'print using' box I selected Apple and then chose the model from the drop down list. 'Apple LaserWriter 16/600 PS fax v.2014.016'
-I got a dialogue box that asked about other installable features - clicked ok.
-when I tried to print a Word document, the Apple LaserWriter driver opened up and appeared in my dock and then I got an immediate error saying "network host ---.---.--.--- is busy, down, or unreachable..."
-I tried to repair permissions, but it did not resolve my issue.
-I noticed that even after adding the 16/600, it did not show up as a bonjour printer, but remained visible as a printer in my list (although grayed out).
I did some troubleshooting and the best I could find as a close match for my problem was that perhaps I had entered the name incorrectly in the Queue box...? If anyone knows how to find the appropriate name to insert I would sure appreciate knowing.
Finally - you should probably know that I received this printer from someone else. I guess I'm wondering if I need to be resetting network settings on the printer somehow? The test page lists the following:
Ethernet (Address: 08:00:07:84:78:e9)
EtherTalk: PostScript
NetWare: AutoSelect
TCP/IP: AutoSelect
IP address: 0.0.0.0
And - now finally, to answer your questions (the best I can, that is)
I did connect the yellow network cable directly into my laptop (right side, 4th input, counting away from me). I have a portable internet modem that plugs into my wall (for power) and then has a cable (Ethernet?) that goes into my Airport Express (LAN port?). I have no other router and there are no other inputs or outputs on my modem. My Airport Express has only one input for the modem, one mini input for airtunes, and one usb input (in which I have a cable connecting to my other laser printer (now working wirelessly via Airport Express!!)
Should I have these cables hooked up differently?
What is a Phonenet adaptor? My internet is provided via a cable service (not DSL). It is wireless and portable - I can take it to any major city in Canada and it works as long as it is plugged into a power source and near a window.
I really appreciate any help you can offer. At this point I must have spent the better part of almost two weeks trying to get these older laser printers up and running.
Thank you again.

AirPort Express connected printer only prints in black and white

I have a HP Deskjet D4160 connected to my Apple AirPort Express wireless base station. Wireless printing from my Macintosh works just fine, except for the fact that the printer will only print in black and white when connected wirelessly. If I disconnect the printer and connect it through USB, it prints just fine in color.
This printer has never printed in color when connected wirelessly. All my software is up to date as far as the Mac and the HP drivers go. PLEASE HELP!
I know I'm not the only one experiencing this problem. A quick Google search will bring up hundreds of thousands of others experiencing the same problem I am.

I tried turning the printer on when it only said 35% but it still printed out in black and white. It hung at 35% after about 3 minutes so I don't think I could have waited it to get to 100%. Usually print jobs get in the queue in a matter of seconds so I don't think the workaround is working for me.

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.

HP 1505n - Print Jobs stop when sent to queue

I recently purchased an HP LaserJet 1505n for my home office. I have several Mac's all running 10.5.1 all connecting to it. Most print to it via the network (Bonjour) but I do have 1 Mac hooked up directly via USB to the printer. So, both the USB And Network Interfaces are being used on the printer (which is why I bought it).
Every now and then when I try to print, the print job just stops immediately in the queue. When I try to restart it, it stops again. Sometimes physically resetting the printer works, but rarely. I have also deleted the queues and re-added them. Nothing seems to work. It seem that Adobe Acrobat files never print, but Firefox will always. (Strange...)
I have read a few other threads on this issue and they all mention that it is a driver issue from HP. I have try to get the OpenSource drivers, but I have not found any for the HP 1505n.
Below is the /var/log/cups/error_log. Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations? Do I just wait for an OpenSource driver or HP to update their drivers?
Thanks!

This is what I got from HP...need to grab CVs and Libraries Folder from a PowerPC mac.
and...it works!
Intel Mac fix for Office 2004
1. On a computer that can still print using Office 2004, go to HD>System>Library>Printers and control+click on Libraries and Create Archive. In the same location, control+click on the CVs folder and Create Archive. Save these Archived (zip) folders to the Desktop.
2. Copy these two Archived (zip) folders to the Intel Mac that cannot print. *note – you will need a network connection to the computer or a flash drive.
3. Make sure you quit all applications including Safari, Entourage etc.
4. Create a New Folder on the Desktop of the Intel Mac (Name this folder “Backup of Libraries and CVs”)
5. Open the Macintosh HD>System>Library folder and control+click on the Printers folder and select Get Info. Click on Name & Location and set the permissions for Everyone to Read & Write.
6. Open the Printers folder and drag the Libraries and CVs folder to the new folder you had just created to backup the old files.
7. Extract the Archived Libraries and CVs folder you have copied to the Intel Mac by double clicking on the folders.
8. Copy the extracted Libraries and CVs folders to the Printers folder (You will be asked to authenticate the copy)
9. Restart the Computer.
10. Open Disk Utility and select your Macintosh HD Volume. Select Repair Permissions.
11. Open a MS Office document and print to verify the issue is resolved.
