Airport Extreme: Can't Print for some reason

While trying to set up my Airport Extreme, and trying to get my computer to print to my printer it's connected to (my computer reads the printer just fine) then it gives me the error message, "An error occurred communicating with the selected base station," when I try to set things up on my Airport Setup Assistant. It's not printing to the printer, even though I downloaded both the driver and installed the Airport Extreme Cd. This is the image that I see: http://img401.imageshack.us/my.php?image=picture1zm8.png
Please help! Do I HAVE to hook the printer or Airport Extreme up to a computer in order to have it work? Or can it just be plugged into the router, and the printer plugged into the usb jack in the back of the AE? There is one light in the middle of the AE that is lit, and that's about it... Sometimes the other two light up. Thank you!

Stacking doesn't work in anything but folder view, and even then only when you are viewing images in a single folder (not including its subfolders). I may have some details wrong on this last bit, I can't quite remember this morning.

    i have all the correct settings for my e mail but i can't send for some reason it keeps taking my outgoing server offline can anyone help

    If you can receive mail and your connection to your ISP is otherwise working, but cannot send mail, then your SMTP settings are incorrect; the SMTP server port is wrong, your SSL setting is wrong, or the username or password credentials don't match what the ISP has, or your attempted accesses are being blocked or your ISP SMTP server is offline.
    And in general, don't use port 25 for your outbound mail, unless your ISP specifically requires that; these days, that port is best left to communications between mail servers and (usually) not used by any mail clients.

  • I need help. One line of text in my layout isnt printing for some reason.

    I'm working on a business card. Part of the logo is not printing. The logo is just text, in this case the font is Curlz MT.
    Not sure what the problem is. When I print it to either of our copiers, this line will not print. When I PDF the file, the line fails to print.
    I copied the entire layout and pasted into a new document and that did not fix the issue.
    So, I removed all the background elements and other junk. Everything except for the logo and this line still did not print.
    I then copied just the logo and dropped into a new document, and then it works. I checked to see if that text box was set to "nonprinting", but it was not. I don't know whats going on. I can send the file if anybody has time to check it out. Any ideas?

    No.. no white text. I looked around for overprinting but I didnt see anything. Heres some pics..
    The specific line that is not printing is "Spice" on the logo on the right. "Sugar &" print just fine.

  • Can't stack for some reason

    I am using a new iMac, 2.8Ghz, 4GB Ram, fully updated Mac OSX 10.5.1. I have a new copy of Lightroom 1.3, as fully updated as it will get.
    I can't get Lightroom to stack photos. Why? I select several photos, in either the grid or the filmstrip, then hit command-G. The computer makes a little "bonk" noise, and nothing else happens. If I check the menu bar (Photo > Stacking > Group Into Stack), all the options under the Stacking heading are greyed out. What gives?
    It doesn't seem to be affected by what photos I select, or what library I am in. Nothing ever works. Any clues? Thanks!

    Just got son iPod touch and want to be able to FaceTime with him.  Created yahoo account but still doesn't work.  I can FaceTime with other iPhone users fine.  What is the problem?  When I try to connect get possible phishing site error.

    Apps you purchase from the Mac App Store can only run on the Mac OS X.
    Apps purchased from the iTunes store run on iOS based devices such as your iPod.
    In other words, you can't run the game for your Mac then copy it to your iPod.  Two differenct operating systems.

  • My Airport Extreme Can't See My USB Disk

    Hi. I have a new airport extreme out of the box, factory fresh. I plugged in my USB hard drive and cannot see it displayed in the Airport Utility under Disks. I have tried different hard drives, different cables, rebooted the airport, restored it to default settings but still no joy.
    The first disk I tried was a factory fresh Buffalo formatted to NTFS. Then I tried my USB disk that was the Time Machine backup on my old Mac that I had connected via a USB cable. Neither can be seen.
    At my wits end....
    Thanks for any help

    The drive must be formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or FAT32 to be recognized at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme.
    The USB port on the AirPort Extreme is underpowered. For that reason, it is often necessary to use a powered USB hub with a hard drive......even if the hard drive has its own power supply.
    If the drive is formatted correctly, and you have a powered USB hub, and the drive will still not appear in AirPort Utility, then it is time to take the AirPort Extreme to an Apple Store or service to have the USB port checked out.

    Is it possible that you are using the same password for the old O2 Study and newer O2 Apple Base Station networks?
    If so, Keychain Access is storing the old information about the old network and may be associating it with your AirPort Extreme settings based on the BSSID that William has mentioned.
    If that's the case, open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > KeyChain Access and look for a listing with the old network name. Delete this entry. You may need to power down both the computer and the AirPort Extreme and restart them.

  • I just bought a new Motorola modem. Do I need to reconfigure my Airport Express? For some reason we have WiFi even though the amber light is blinking.

    I just bought a new Motorola modem. Do I need to reconfigure my Airport Express? For some reason we have WiFi even though the amber light is blinking.

    Typically, when changing out networking hardware, it is always a good idea to perform a complete power reset of all of your networking equipment.
    I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
    Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
    Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
    Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
    Power-up your computer(s).
    If the above steps do not solve the problem, start over with step 1 above, but then perform the next steps between steps 1 & 2. above.
    Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
    While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
    After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
    Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
    Continue with step 2 in the first set of steps.
    In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

  • How do I use AirPort Extreme to be able print from my MacBook Pro AND a PC. If I connect printer into AirPort, I can only print on laptop. If printer is connected to PC hard drive, I can only print on desk top. How do I configure this to make both print?

    If you have not already done so, your chances will really improve if you....
    1) Connect the printer to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme
    2) Download and install Bonjour Print Services for Windows on the PC

  • Can't use image as link using asfunction for some reason

    I have a pretty large which was coded using AS2 in about 2006 so I'm trying to make a few changes using AS2 which I'm pretty rusty on.  I have a swf which loads an xml file into a textarea in flash and it all works well.  I have to link some images which appear in the xml file but those images have to be links to external sites and that is where I am running into problems with my asfunction.  Here is the code.
    Function in my AS:
    function launchSite(arg) {
      if(arg == "agri") {
        getURL("http://www.usda.gov/wps/portal/usdahome", "_blank");
    then of course arg will take different values for the other links:
    In the xml file, here is the asfunction code:
    <a href='asfunction:_root.launchSite,agri'><img src="images/agri.gif"></a>
    What is happening is the function is working and the external link is opening in a new browser window, but the xml stops at that point so most of the agri.gif image and the rest of the page are gone.  If I change the img tag to just a text link, then all is well .. but my client wants the images to be the link.
    To further complicate, if I remove the link text and have only the img tag, the page is fine.  They just won't work together for some reason.  Any thoughts?
    Thanks!
    Nancy

    >the cdata tag is needed so you can load the xml that contains html tags.
    Interesting since my xml files are full of html tags and everything else renders just fine without CDATA tags.  My textarea is configured to allow HTML.
    AS as follows:
    //set up the textarea
    //init TextArea component
    myText.html = true;
    myText.wordWrap = true;
    myText.multiline = true;
    myText.label.condenseWhite=true;
    //set up the XML
    myXML = new XML();
    myXML.ignoreWhite = true;
    myXML.load("xml/acts.xml");
    myXML.onLoad = function(success)
    var myArray:Array = myXML.firstChild.childNodes;
    myTitle.text = myXML.firstChild.attributes.title
    myLoader.contentPath = myXML.firstChild.nextSibling.attributes.src
    myText.text = myXML.firstChild.nextSibling.nextSibling
    function loadFunction(target){
    myXML.load(target);
    myXML.onLoad = function(success)
    var myArray:Array = myXML.firstChild.childNodes;
    myTitle.text = myXML.firstChild.attributes.title
    myLoader.contentPath = myXML.firstChild.nextSibling.attributes.src
    myText.text = myXML.firstChild.nextSibling.nextSibling
    //function to load the external XML
    function launchSite(arg) {
      if(arg == "agri") {
        getURL("http://www.usda.gov/wps/portal/usdahome", "_blank");
    pertinent part of the xml as follows (portion of the text node which displays all the text):
    <a href='asfunction:_root.launchSite,agri'><![CDATA[<img src="images/agriculture.gif">]]></a> Department of Agriculture:  The Department of Agriculture began in 1862.  The main job of this department is to keep our food is safe and healthy.  They also work with farmers if they need help selling their crops both in the US and around the world.  Secretary of Agriculture is Mr. Thomas J. Vilsack.
    I added the CDATA tags at your suggestion.  What that gives me in the browser is a working function (loads the external site in a new window as desired) but instead of the image, I have the img tag printed out due to the CDATA tags (which by definition is not parsed).
    I have had pages on pages like this in this site since 2006 (which is why it's done in AS2 and not 3) and have never had a problem until the client wanted the images to be links to the external sites.  If I put in the image tag without the link, it works.  If I put in the link tag with a text link rather than the image, it works.  It's the two together that do not work.
    Does that make sense?
    Thanks again!
    Nancy
      after that you need to parse the xml correctly and assign to your textarea.  are you?

  • HT2712 Network ip address keeps changing and for some reason I can't find the right settings. The diagnostics says to check with my network  administrator,  but idk whom that is being at a motel and all. I have made. New locations, & changed the ipv4 addr

    Hmmm, is Network set to using DHCP?
    Go to System Preferences
    Click Network
    Highlight AirPort and click Configure...
    Choose “By default, join: Preferred networks”
    Select your access point and Remove your access point with the minus button.
    Launch your keychain access in Utilities and delete your access point keychain entry.
    Reboot
    Go back to the “By default, join:” page and click the plus this time to add your access point. Enter the correct password, save, reboot.
    Instead of joining your network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed

  • Can't create new pdfs from powerpoint; either form within Adobe or within powerpoint.  I could do this yesterday and today it won't work for some reason.  The error says "an unexpected error occurred.  PDFMaker was unable to produce the Adobe PDF.  How do

    Can't create new pdfs from powerpoint; either form within Adobe or within powerpoint.  I could do this yesterday and today it won't work for some reason.  The error says "an unexpected error occurred.  PDFMaker was unable to produce the Adobe PDF.  How do I fix this?

    Is there a log file in the document folder indicating what the problem was. There are a number of reasons that PDF creation may fail. You can try to print to the Adobe PDF printer to see if there is any indication in that process. The processing is different, but the same problems may show up with both processes.

  • I can't import enums for some reason

    In a class I made, I can't seem to import an enum. Eclipse tells me "The import de.game.ground.Constants.Board cannot be resolved." Board is the name of my enum sitting in the class Constants.
    What's so weird is that other classes have imported the enum and are using it just fine. But for some reason this one class won't. These classes are all in the same packet. What's up with that? It makes no sense to me that other classes can import it, but I get an error message trying to import it to this class.
    After some googling, I tried adding import java.util.*, even though the other classes didn't need it, but that didn't seem to make a difference. I also made sure my "compiler compliance" is set to 1.6. I can't think of anything else to try.

    test/Constants.java:
    package test;
    public class Constants {
        enum Board { A, B, C }
    }And a small driver class to test it, test/Main.java:

    import test.Constants.Board;
    public class Main {
        public static void main(String[] args){
            Board b = Board.B;
            System.out.println(b);
    }Both classes compile just fine and when I run the Main class, 'B' is printed to the console. No errors.
    See what I mean with SSCCE: you can copy, paste and compile my code without altering any of it.
