Airport Express, Lexmark x6690 and iPad2 printing issues

I have recently bought an Airport Express to take with me to university. I am wanting to use it to turn an Ethernet Connection to Wireless and to use my existing Lexmark x6690 printer. I set up the Airport Express using my iPad 2 and it seemed to go fine. When I tried to print a test Pages document it said that "No Airprint printers found". I deleted the software on my family's PC, and reset the Airport and tried again. The same result.
Is there anyway that I could get this printer to work to that I don't have to get a new printer? If I have to get a new printer, which one would be the easiest to set up with minimal expence and effort but also be cheap to buy and run?
(I would only be using the printer to print, not to scan or fax anything)

The Lexmark X6690 is not AirPrint compatible so you will not be able to print directly from your iPad. You can use our LexPrint App to print from your iPad but you'll need a host computer to act as a bridge. Just click on the link to know more: LexPrint App
Also, we have released a new line of printers that's compatible with AirPrint: Pro715, Pro915, S315, S415, S515, Pro4000 and Pro5500. Just go to www.Lexmark.com for more information.

  • Airport Express error 6753 and IPAD2 "interference"

    Airport Express works fine with my pc(Vista) until my brother-in-law comes with his IPAD2 and connects. My pc will connect to the Express(wireless network), but won't go on the internet. Can't get the Airport Utility to communicate either: error 6753. When the IPAD2 leaves everything works fine again. Any ideas? Thanks

    I had a hard time to re-configure my Airport Express after an automatic update by Apple (New firmware for Airport Extreme) It just wouldn't work on my Leopard machine. (express was not responding, amber light flashing, unable to fetch configuration settings...etc.) Now, I've downgraded the firmware for the Express again (from 6.3 to 6.1.1) and i used a powerbook with tiger installed to configure the express. Now it all seems to work again. It took a lot of time to figure things out, wich is a shame, but I'm happy to have it all working again. And perhaps this knowledge is usefull to others.

  • Airport express base station and virgin superhub issues

    Hi All,
    New to the fourm and looking for some help if poss with some issues I'm having here.
    Since having our superhub installed it has been in modem mode and has been connected to our apple base station acting as the wifi router.
    Went off on holiday for a couple of weeks and shut everything down, retunred this weekend powered everything back up and now we have connection issues.
    I have spoken with Virgin and they have run tests to prove that my connection is okay their side, we have changed the superhub back to a router and we have wifi via that.
    The problem starts when I turn the superhub back into a modem and connect the airport base station. Initially everything connects okay and we get wifi, but then after anything between 30 seconds and 2 minutes we loose the connection. The airport still stay online and producing our local network but the superhub lights go from being blue intermintant flashing to constantly flashing. I have tried all sorts of reset options and in all combintaions to no avail.
    So currently we are back using the superhub as our router, but I need to get back to using the apple base station as I have other products that run from this.
    I've read on another webpage about the double NAT issue, I'm not sure if this is what is happening in my case as I'm unsure what this is all about.
    Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers

    Airtunes support is built in to iTunes version 4.9 - there is no other software you need to download or install. If your PC has been successfully set up to connect to the Airport Express wireless network, a drop down box will appear in the lower right corner of the iTunes application window where you can select the place your iTunes should be playing (ie internal speakers, or the Airport Express).
    You did not mention either (a) configuring your Airport Express or (b) setting up your PC to connect to the Airport Express wireless network. To do this:
    (a) read the configuration manual for the Airport Express. Then download the Airport 4.2 update for Windows (from Apple's web site) - it provides the latest Windows versions of the Airport Express configuration software.
    (b) to get your PC to connect to the Airport Express wireless network, see the links to "accessing an airport network" provided at:

  • Airport Express Base Station and HP Laserjet 1020 printer connected

    Dear all,
    I have a Laptop (PC) Sony Vaio PCG-Z1XSP and an Airport Express Base Station which work perfectly together (internet access and I-tunes). I recently bought a printer HP Laserjet 1020 and connected it to the Airport Express USB soket. I managed to make it work and print a couple of times, but as soon as I turn off the printer or the computer or Airport Express, the next time I want to print, it doesn't work anymore.
    The Airport Admin Utility recognises the printer (I can see it listed). I have updated the Airport Express software to the Firmware version 6.3 as well as downloaded the latest driver available on HP's website for my printer. I've also substituted the USB cable. Can anybody help me here? Thank you very much and best regards.

    Hallo everybody,
    Thanks for all the answers. I have contacted HP's chat online and gone through the problem with 3 different technicians. I've tried a lot myself too. The issue was partially solved by restarting the printer spooler, i.e. stop, then start and then restart it.
    However after I was so happy that the printer worked, I turn off everything. When I turn on again, it was not working anymore. Then I tried to see by exclusion what the problem is, I had to restart the Hardwar I don't know how many times.
    Conclusion:
    1. The USB cable must be plugged into the airport express before turning on anything.
    2. Turn on the printer first.
    3. Turn on the airport express and the computer.
    4. If you try to print it doesn't work, even if you reset the airport express through the airport express utility software. The printer is recognized and appears in it though.
    5. Disconnect the USB cable from the airport express and connect it to the PC directly.
    6. Print a document.
    7. Disconnect the cable and reconnect it to the airport express.
    8. Now you should be able to print wireless. You may need to reset the airport expresst with the utility softwar, but I managed to print without having to do it.
    9. The pörinter works even if you turn off and on again the computer, or you suspend the windows session and restart it, or if you put it in standby and restart it.
    10. The printer works even if you turn off the airport express and the computer, or the airport express alone and restart them/it.
    11. The printer doens't work anymore if you turn it off and onn again. In such a case you have to plug in/out as discribeb above.
    Solution: Leave the printer always on, or make the plug in/out every morning when you start the computer and print one page direclty before being able to print wireless.
    Does anybody have a solution to this problem? I mean it prints, but it is annoying to plug in/out every day, no?
    HP's technician says that it is not a recommanded solution the HP Laserjet 1020 with the airport express, since the printer works on a host based server basis... I mean it is easy to say that, but one expects to buy a printer that works always and not to have to plug in/out everyday, restart spooler and so on.
    Can anybody comment or suggest anything I can do to avoid this? Thank you and I hope this helps others too.

  • Can I use Airport Express to connect to a printer, Time Machine Back up drive, second b/u drive, and scanner through a USB hub? if so, how?

    I have an Airport Express that connects to my printer. I'd like to add a scanner, and two back up drives (one for use with Time Capsule, another specifically for photographs backed up from Adobe Lightroom.
    The printer connects to the Airport Express through a USB hub and is recognized.  I cannot get the scanner nor either of the back up drives to be recognized.  Is there a way to do it or will I need to rely on a USB hub wired to the USB port of the MacBookPro?  If it is possible, can you walk me through the set up for each? 
    Thanks,
    Doug Earle

    I'd like to add a scanner, and two back up drives (one for use with Time Capsule, another specifically for photographs backed up from Adobe Lightroom.
    Unfortunately, the USB port on the AirPort Express will only work with a compatible printer.
    It will not work with a scanner, copier, or hard drive.
    It should be possible to do what you want by connecting a powered USB hub to your Mac and then connecting the devices to the powered hub.
    The setup for the scanner and hard drive would be covered by the manfacturers documentation, so providing specific advice for those types of products would be outside the realm of this support area.
    But, if you can provide model numbers, it is always possible that another user who is using those products might see this post.

  • Airport Express Audio Drop and Network issue

    I have a Dell Laptop, DLink G604T router and Airport Express. When I first bought the airport express I successfully got it to join my existing Dlink wireless network and I could happily stream music wirelessly to the airport express and maintain a wireless internet connection through the Dlink router.
    Since then I started having issues with audio drops to the Airport express and despite doing a lot of searching on the discussion forums and internet and trying different things have never solved the issue.
    The one thing that does seem to work is if I create a new wireless network with the Airport Express rather than joining the existing Dlink one. I can then stream music flawlessly all day long. The down side is I then can't get internet access wirelessly at the same time. I have to disconnect from one network and connect to the other.
    If I connect the dlink router to the airport express by ethernet and use the Dlink router just as a modem I think the issue will be resolved but this is not convenient due to position of router and airport express.
    So the question is, Can I get the Dlink router to join the Airport Express Wireless network wirlessly rather than the AE joining the Dlink wireless network? Any thoughts on whether this is possible and if so how?
    Dell Inspiron 500m   Windows XP Pro  

    I had one AE base unit, where network connection would disapear every other day. The light would still be green on the AE, but the signal from the AE could not be picked up nor seen by the computer. Only turning the AE off and back on, would make it appear and work again. I Changed the AE unit, and I dont have the problem any more. I didnt change any settings at all.
    So in my case, it was the AE base unit that was malfunctioning.
    I have also seen similar problems with a different cause: That the wifi network card in the computer wasnt connected properly. ..
    I dont think its a software problem
    good luck

  • Airport Express won't recognize TSC printer

    We are having a really weird issue with a new 802.11n Airport Express. It refuses to recognize a specific USB printer attached to it (TSC TTP-245c label printer, to be precise). By "refuses to recognize" I mean the printer does not show up in the Printers dialog within the Airport Utility (5.6 in this case... don't even get me started on 6.0, which doesn't even HAVE a printer dialog anymore) and attempting to send print jobs to it fail.
    Anyway, the really bizarre thing is that the Airport Express DOES see other USB printers we connect to it, and the TSC printer DOES work fine on other USB print servers, or from a notebook PC via USB, etc... even an OLD g-only Airport Express can see the TSC printer just fine. It's ONLY the specific combination of a NEW Airport Express and the TSC-245C printer that doesn't work.
    I'm sure I'll get replies asking me to update a driver, update firmware, etc. So let me save you the trouble... this has absolutely nothing to do with drivers as the print server (Airport Express) itself cannot see the physical printer attached to itself, and the Airport is already running 7.6.1 (though I did try and revert back to 7.5 to see if it made any difference, and it did not). I also verified that the TSC printer is running the latest firmware available for it.
    So what do you do when you have two devices that are working fine independently with OTHER devices, but won't work with EACH OTHER? Is there any way to get this information to Apple so they can investigate why their new device is having trouble with this one particular printer model? I've already started the process of telling TSC that they need to obtain a new Airport Express to see if they can figure out what's wrong, but it could very well be a problem on Apple's side... after all, their OLD Airport works against this printer just fine.
    All that said, I'm not expecting to get any magical fix from these forums... I'm mainly trying to find out how this can get "run up the flagpole" at Apple so they can perhaps investigate. Is anyone aware of similar problems with OTHER brands of printers? Again, the symptom is simple: Connect a USB printer to the new AirPort Express and it just isn't seen by the Airport.
    Any advice appreciated!

    I don't think all printers will work.
    Have you read this Apple article?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1253
    Still not working?
    If your printer still doesn't work with AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule printer sharing but does work when directly connected to your Mac, contact the printer manufacturer for additional information.
    As the article states above, you would have to contact the printer manufacturer.
    Apple has no control of third party vendors.

  • Airport Express won't let me print

    Dudes,
    I can't seem to print to my printer which is plugged into my Airport Express (AX).
    It gets a certain percentage through the job, then hangs (with no data light flashing on the printer).
    If I turn the AX on and off again, it works for one job, but not another until you've turned the AX on and off again!
    My setup is:
    MacBook > Airport Express (AX) > Stereo + Samsung laser printer
    Help!

    I've got the exact same issue. Was working fine for a long time, but now recently cannot print more than one document after restarting. Hoping someone has answers for us?

  • Can't connect Airport Express & a HP Photosmart c4200 Printer

    I think these discussion boards are great. I was hoping someone could possibly shed some light on a small issue I'm having connecting an Airport Express & a HP Photosmart c4200 Printer.
    I have the Printer hooked up to the Airport Express, but when I go to print, I get a message telling me my printer is offline. My Airport express recognizes the printer and I have the printer on. I'm not quite sure what the problem is.
    I'm relatively new to this so any help that someone could provide would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Is printer is detected in airport utility?
    Is green light ON on your airport extreme? or orange light flashing?
    Some printers are not compatible with airport extreme.
    I had the same problem with my brother printer, all I did was turned my firewall off & restared the computer and airport extreme..wallah it worked than I turned my firewall back on.

  • Airport express can't connect to printer

    Just purchased apple airport extreme, setup on my iPad was easy... Airport express is connected to an existing network... I am able to play music on my iTunes using my iPad, but I cannot print using my ipad2. Software is up-to-date, my stand alone PC is a Sony Vaio... Not too concerned with the Sony but I have been troubleshooting the airport express by unplugging and re-plugging it and it still doesn't acknowledge the printer.... Printer is an HP office jet j4580 all in one printer. Any suggestions??

    Thanks! No, my printer is not AirPrint-capable... I failed to mention that it is a USB printer connected to the airport express. I was able to connect it successfully with my PC by adding it with the IP address. It worked...
    Kinda bummed that Ipad2 requires certain printers to print, I didn't know that maybe I will return this airport express tomorrow and get my $98 dollars back.
    Researched a bit on printopia... It's not an apple app I'm guessing?
    But I don't know about the $20 bucks for it since I may just take this airport express back.
    Thanks much!

  • My new airport express does not connect my printer to my computer?  My old airport did! then I updated to OS 10.9.2.  How do I get it connected?

    My new airport express does not connect my printer to my computer.  The old airport did.  I recently updated to OS 10.9.2.  I have since bought a new
    HP 6700 all in one wireless printer,  got the latest Comcast router.  None of which connect to my computer wirelessly.  Which do I throw away the printer, router, or Mac?  Help

    Contact HP for support.
    Explain that you are using a Mac, anticipate the inevitable groan, and wait patiently for their resident Mac expert to return from vacation.
    Until then download and install its driver here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=5058338&cc=us&dlc=en &lc=en
    Otherwise return the printer and purchase one from a company that visibly supports OS X. HP isn't on that list.

  • I have an AirPort Express, iPhone 5, and MacBook (late 2010). How do I see the graphical overview of my network?

    I have an AirPort Express, iPhone 5, and MacBook (late 2010). How do I see the graphical overview of my network? (I can't seem to find a way to see it).
    My computer is acting....well, strange.  I can't put my finger on it but it doesn't seem right.  Menus look skewed.  Some applications look like they're trying to disguise themselves as apple (no consistant window formats).  Airplay turns on and off on my devices on it's own.  And some locked system preference seem to unlock themselves, or won't even grey-out after I lock them. 
    I have changed my password many times but the issue keeps coming back.  I feel like I'm going crazy - but I know that something just isn't right...maybe someone's been hacking me? (I have no idea why...) 
    Anyway, maybe I could have stemmed from an improper setup of my wireless network.
    Any thoughts?
    Also, right now, when I just signed into apple communities....
         I have an iCloud email address that is accociated with my 1 and ONLY Apple ID...
         It seems to have been working but...
         When I loged in here it only saw my:
                                  OLD MacBookPro
                                  3 Old iPods
                                  My new MacMini with OS X Sever (Server is currently turned off)
         Could my Apple ID be confusing my MacBook (which I'm currently using) as an old iPod or my old MacBookPro?
         I doesn't even see my iPad (1st generation), or my iPhone 5
         Also, the Mac App store is giving me the option to download Mountain Lion??? I already have version 10.8.3...
    Can anyone perform an analysis on my account and computer?  I have been to the Apple Store 6 seperate time and the problem was not resolved (after 6 COMPLETE hard drive wipes).
    PLEASE HELP!

    i guess you could put the aiport utility app on your iphone, click on the aiport express there, it will show you how many devices are connected to it and the mac addresses of those devices.

  • Using a Airport Express Base Station for wireless printing.

    Using a Airport Express Base Station for wireless printing. Got a new DSL router yesterday. Our old one we did not have password protected. The new one is. I can't figure out how to get the base station to connect with the new router.

    thanks for the reply,   I couldn't connect with the base station.  The solution (thank you apple genius bar) was to do a soft rest of the unit which allowed and ethernet connectiont to be established.  Took the genius bar gy about ten min (and 2 attempts) to get the base station reconfigured.  Got home and it worked like a charm.  Would have never known what he knew.  Thank you genius bar.  Thank you for taking time to respond.

  • Hi i got a new airport express for christmas and i set it up as per instructions ,i even give a static ip and wpa2 security ..the problem is is when i come to want to use it it says its not on my network and a orange triangle shows .when i reboot it works

    I really don't have an answer for that one. I guess that while trying to get things working correctly, I would use the most basic monitor I had which in your case would be the Eizon using the Thunderbolt port and adaptor.
    When you boot into Safe Mode the startup is quite slow, but you should get the Apple logo and then the spinning gear below it (release the SHIFT key when it appears.) Then after a little more time you should see a gray progress bar appear below the spinning gear. When that disappears the computer will startup to a login screen.
