AirPort Extreme does not see HP Printer Officejet Pro L7555

I have tried to research how configure AirPort Extreme with my HP Officejet Pro L7555 by USB or ethernet cable. After following instuctions, printer is not shown. HP site that Apple links me to says it works by usb. Apple is ambiguous as to if it must be airprint capable. Thought maybe I need to set it up in the address category. Can I get a definitive answer on the compatibility of this? The latest drivers etc.. have been installed. Any help much appreciated.

The HP Officejet Pro L7555 have three interface options:
USB
Ethernet
Bluetooth via an optional Bluetooth wireless adapter.
The USB port on the AirPort Extreme supports ONLY basic printer functions of a multifunction printer like your L7555. That means, you will not be able to access the printer's fax, scan, or copying function connected to this port. To gain access to all of the printer's functions you would need to have to connect it by Ethernet.
Once connected by Ethernet, the printer, not the AirPort Extreme, provides the print server function. Regardless, be sure to use the very latest print drivers for your Mac or PC.
HP provides a support article specifically for this printer when used with Mac here.

IBook G4 Airport Extreme does not see any SSID

Hi,
My iBook 1,2 Ghz has been working great for several years now.
I am working with Mac OS X Tiger (10.4.11) for quite some time
and it never let me down. I connect to the internet using an Airport Express
connected to a speedtouch router.
The Airport Express Card in my iBook always found 6 or 7 SSID's of other
Wireless Networks in my neighbourhood and it used to login automatically on
my Airport Express wireless wetwork station.
Last week it suddenly stopped working correctly.
After starting OS X on my laptop the little Airport icon in the upper bar faded out grey.
When I click it it says it can't find any networks.
I checked all my settings, downgraded my Airport Extensions
and even installed a spare (refurbished) Airport Extreme Card.
Even with another Airport Extreme Card it does not see any wireless networks.
My other macs, a unibody MacBook Pro and white MacBook work fine with the Airport Express.
What could be wrong? Am I overlooking something here? Can somebody help me out?
How can i get my Airport Express/iBook G4 connected to my wireless network again?

Hi Elko,
Thanks for the reply.
I re-installed the original Airport Extreme card into the slot again.
But now i pushed it harder than the first time. (just like you said)
I noticed the second click, but that doesn't seem to be the problem.
Both Airport Cards (the original and the new) were installed correctly.
I also checked the antenna connection but that is seated o.k. too.
After re-installing the card, i booted into Mac OS X Tiger and checked the ASP.
It says a Airport Extreme Card is installed with firmware version 405.1 (3.90.34.0.p.18)
and the langauge version is international/worldwide. So far, so good.
Nevertheless the airport card does still not find any wireless networks or SSID's after
scanning multiple times. (Location on automatic)
I am planning an upgrade to Leopard today. Maybe that's gonna help, since there were some Airport Extreme updates in Leopard. If that's not the solution, I will stay with your other suggestion and buy me a nice USB dongle.
Do you have any idea what type of dongles work best with Leopard? I have seen some different models, but a lot of dongles require third-party software to make it work and are not automatically recognized by OS X.

AirPort Extreme does not see printer, hard drive, AirPort Express!

I just got an AirPort Extreme (802.11n), to replace my AirPort Express. I have a Brother 665CW wireless all-in-one printer, which had worked perfectly but now I cannot find it. I have also hooked my USB hard drive into the Extreme. I can see the hard drive in the AirPort Utility, but I don't know how to find it from my iBook. I'd also like to put the Express in another room to use the AirTunes feature. Unfortunately, almost nothing is working!
Here is how it's set up:
Den:
AirPort Extreme - hardwired to:
- DSL modem
- hard drive (via USB)
Brother 665CW (wireless)
Living Room:
AirPort Express
Advice would be appreciated. I'm usually able to troubleshoot my problems, but documentation on this Extreme is really bad! Thanks!
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I had problems adding Airport expresses using Airport Utility. However I found it worked fine if I used the manual set-up option and not the Assist me option.
Reset the airport express then, in manual set-up, set the express to 'join an airport network' add the airport network password and see if that works

AirPort Extreme Does Not See USB Drive

I've had no luck getting my AirPort Extreme (802.11n) to see a USB hard drive. Using a WD MyBook, there's simply no response from the AirPort. Is there some trick to getting the AirPort to see the drive? Clearly this product isn't working as described! There's no mention in any of the marketing materials of needing to do anything but plug in the drive to the USB port.

This whole 'mount USB drive' feature appears to be VERY problematic. I cannot get the drive attached to my Airport Extreme to be visible to the iBook which runs its net connection thru the AE unit.
Has anyone submitted a bug to developer.apple.com?
If you have not - it is possible to acquire a free developer's account - just fill out the forms - and then you can add your voice to the chorus of bugs posted - which is WAY more likely to get attention by Apple engineers than just posting on this forum.
If anyone has any news about how to systematically solve this problem, please let me know.
Thanks!

My new airport extreme does not see the hard drive

I have a new airport extreme with a hard drive connected to the USB port but the airport can't see the disk. I verified the firmware and is 7.7.1

Any suggestion?

HT1998 My iPAD can use the internet through my airport extreme, but the airport utility does not see it so I can't create a guest password. What am I doing wrong?

If your Mac is using the Lion operating system with recent updates, it will be necessary to download and install AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility 5.6
Select the AirPort Extreme and click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab just below the row of icons
Click the Wireless Network Options button
Remove the check mark next to Create a closed network
Click Done, then click Update to save the new settings and allow 25-30 seconds for the AirPort Extreme to restart

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.

OK great info!
I found 2 possible ethernet to USB adapters:
By "Plugable": USB 2.0 to ethernet LAN wired network adapter - seems this will work, but I'll contact Plugable.
2. Apple USB Ethernet Adapter
Easily connect your MacBook Air computer to an Ethernet network with the Apple USB Ethernet Adapter. Small and light, it connects to the USB 2.0 port of your MacBook Air and provides an RJ-45 connector that supports 10/100BASE-T performance. BUT NOT SURE IF THIS WILL WORK ON ANYTHING BUT a MacBook Air…
One person commented:
This little gem used to be the device of choice for adding a second Ethernet interface to a Mac Mini Server and I'd been using one that way for about a year. After doing a software update to 10.6.6 it stopped working. Forewarned is forearmed – it appears that Apple is finally enforcing the MacBook Air system requirement.
Thanks for any additional comments.

MacBook Air does not See a Plantronics Voyager Pro bluetooth headset

My MacBook Air does not "see" my Plantronics Voyager Pro + bluetooth headset as a discoverable bluetooth asset. I have read on Apple and Plantronics forums that these two devices should be compatible, but so far no luck. Anybody have any experience with this situation?

Turns out the Voyager Pro Bluetooth headset failed...exchanging it for a new one and should be GTG. Thanks.

Airport Utility does not see Airport Extreme Base Station

Purchased Airport Extreme yesterday at Apple Store to replace old Netgear Router. Wanted wireless network to work with 2 identical HP Laptops running XP with SP3 and 2 iPod touches, and possible future purchases of iPad 2 and Apple TV. Installed Airport Utility software from CD on Dell Studio running Windows 7. Connected Airport Extreme to cable modem and Dell Studio. Ran Airport Utility software to configure Base Station but it did not recognize the Base Station. Base Station had blinking amber light. Did have internet connectivity on Dell Studio, and wireless internet connectivity on 2 iPod touches, and on one HP Laptop. No wireless internet on other HP Laptop. But wireless internet connection was unsecured and Airport Utility did not see Airport Extreme so could not configure it to make it secure. Contacted Apple Customer support. After 30-40 minutes of attempting several different possible fixes only able to use Airport Utility to configure Airport Extreme remotely, wirelessly, from one HP Laptop, not the Dell Studio that is directly connected to the base station. Now that the base station is configured the network is secure. However, second HP Laptop cannot connect to primary wireless network. I created password protected "Guest" network using Airport Utility, and laptop is able to connect to this Guest network. From reviewing forums am now able to configure Airport Extreme with Airport Utility by using "Configure other" on Dell computer. But utility cannot find device by scanning. Would like to find way to (1) have Airport Utility on Windows 7 Dell see Airport Extreme by scanning and not using "configure other," and (2) have 2nd HP Laptop connect to primary network and not "guest' network. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Bob - Thanks so much for your quick reply. I followed your suggestions and, to go into perhaps unnecessary detail, I'll write what I did. I completely disconnected the Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS) from my computer. I disabled Windows Firewall, uninstalled my anti-virus program, and uninstalled Airport Utility and Bonjour, recycled by cable modem (took out the battery and unplugged it for about 20 seconds), then restarted my computer. After the computer booted up, I verified that windows firewall was disabled, reinstalled Airport Utility and Bonjour, then reconnected the cable connecting the AEBS to the computer (to one of the three ethernet ports, and I tried each of them in case one was faulty) but not to the cable modem as my firewall was disabled and had no anti-virus software. I also reconnected the AEBS power chord. I opened the newly reinstalled Airport Utility software and it did not find the base station. Only when I used "configure other" was I able to access the AEBS. I recycled the modem again, but that did not help. I turned on the firewall, installed anti-virus software, connected the AEBS to the modem, the light turned green, and I was able to access the internet on the primary computer and the wireless network gave me internet access on my laptops. But I was still not able to have my main computer, the one directly connected to the AEBS able to see it, and configure it, without utilizing "configure other."
Also, any idea why one of my laptops can only access the "guest" network? When it attempts to connect to the primary network it will stay on "acquiring network address" for what seems a few minutes, then switch to the "guest" network and connect immediately.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Macbook does not see wireless printer

My laserjet 1102w is connected to an airport extreme and I can print wirelessly from a windows 7 pc.
However, my Macbook Pro does not see the wireless printer. I can print though if I connect the printer directly via USB.
When trying to add a printer via the '+'button in Finder > Printer & Fax there is no response and nothing to connect to.
Anyone knows how to resolve this ?

Hi,
Be sure to enable Wireless Direct as listed within Steps one below, as well locate the display name as listed:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03351623&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en &product=5169041&tmp_track_link=ot_search#N96
Once you are done click the WiFi icon on your Mac and select Join Other Network.
Click on Show Networks and the Wireless Direct network should be listed there.

Airport Express does not see SSID.

Odd problem. I am trying to configure an Airport Express to stream music. I am using a D-Link DGL-4500 wireless router on a mixed 802.11n and 802.11g network. SSID is set to broadcast. Security is WPA2-Personal. Network has worked fine for years, and every device I have tried has connected fine.
I plug in my Airport Express and bring up the Airport Utility. When I start the configuration, I do not see my network's SSID in the list of available networks. I can see my neighbors' SSIDs, but not mine. If I manually enter the SSID, and complete the configuration, the Airport Extreme will not connect to my network (only blinking amber light). I've checked the router logs for the Airport Extreme's MAC, to try to determine if there was a connection attempt, but I see nothing.
I've done a factory reset and tried several times to configure the device, but it never connects. More strangely, it does not appear to even try to connect. I'm pretty much at the end of my rope. Any ideas before I send it back?
Thanks!

Your express will need to see the SSID in order to connect. I would suggest that you temporarily turn off the security (WPA2) on your D-Link router, make sure it is broadcasting the SSID, and then see if the express detects it. If the express doesn't see it, make sure some other device can.
You also might try changing the SSID, or turning it off and back on and see if that helps.
Once you can see it in the clear, add the security, and be sure to enter it in exactly, be careful of capitals,etc.

Airport Utility does not see Base Station but I'm still online

I have an original airport base station and just downloaded Airport Utility 5.5.1
The base station is working because I'm online with it posting this thread.
But Airport Utility 5.5.1 does NOT see it...
The strange thing is that I have one of the early dome Airport Extremes here as well. That one IS recognized but the Airport Utility.
Anyone have any suggestions as to why the original Airport is not showing up in the utility even when I know it's obviously being seen by my card and connecting to the web?
Thanks

Did you power cycle your network as follows?
Power everything on the network down, order is not important
Wait a few minutes, then start the modem first and let it run a few moments by itself.
Then start the next device connected to the modem and let it run a few moments.
Then start each device the same way until everything is up on the network.

My computer does not see my printer

Hi: I am having a problem with my HP Photosmart 4500 printer. My computer does not see it. I have a USB connected to it, have uninstalled and installed the software two time, dowloaded the latest update and nothing. Add to that, I can not connect it by WIFI. WIFI on the printer is on but again, it's no where on any of the screens. The only variable I can think of that has changed has been the router I got recently from AT&T. Everything else works with the WIFI but no computer. I'm running 10.7.5. I have read the install instructions and nothing seems to be working. The one thing I do get from the HP install disc is a message reading the printer isn't recognized but there are no updates in support. OK, what am I missing here?

Try these steps to uninstall the current software using the HP scrubber and then reinstall using the current HP driver available through Apple.
To do so, perform the following steps:
1. Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard/ and then click on “HP Uninstaller”
2. Next click “Continue”
3. Highlight the device on the left pane.
4. Press and hold control+alt+command on the keyboard simultaneously while you click on “Uninstall”.
5. After you do this, you will see a pop up that asks you if you want to uninstall all HP software. Please note, that in doing this, it will remove any other HP printers that you also have installed.
6. Click “continue” and wait for the program to finish.
7. After it completes, reboot your computer.
Once the computer is back on, do the following steps:
WARNING: This is will delete all of your printers.
1. Go into “System Preferences” and then select either “Print & Scan” or "Print & Fax".
2. Right click (or control + click) on the rectangle listing your printers and then select “Reset Printing System”.
After you have reset the printing system, let's make sure you have the most recent HP driver package installed.
You can do this two ways. First, check for any available HP Update's by clicking the Apple icon and then Software Update. If there are any updates available, they should show up here. However, if the printer is connected by USB, it will not show any available updates. The other option is downloading the drivers from Apple's website.
You can download it here: http://support.apple.com/downloads/DL907/en_US/HPPrinterDrivers2.14.dmg
Once you have downloaded the driver package and completed the installation, you will want to plug your printer back in (if you were using a USB connection). After the printer is plugged back in, go into your print settings under System Preferences > Print & Scan. To add the printer, click the plus sign. You should see your printer listed here. If not, click "Add Printer or Scanner." Click the name of your printer and then click "Use:” box. Make sure that says the name of your printer and not AirPrint. If you are using the printer wirelessly, make sure that the printer "Kind:" is set to Bonjour or Bonjour Multifunction. Click "Add" down in the bottom right hand corner.
This will add your printer back using the most recent HP print driver available through Apple. Let me know if this helps resolve your issue or not. If it doesn't, let me know I will see what else I can do.
Best of luck,
Kyle

Is the printer physically connected to the computer with a cable, or is it wireless. Did you install the printer drivers from the manufacturers web site, for your specific OS?
