Airprint no longer working – router settings wrong?

Airprint no longer working – router settings wrong? Network TP-Link TD-W8951ND router. version 5.1, Firmware build 120522. As far as I know the settings are factory defaults with two exceptions. My ISP input various settings to reflect my proper internet connect configuration. I have assigned one static port “100” to a printer not currently on the network. Auto DHCP now starts at “101”. Epson Artisan 837 printer. New, Bonjour service name EPSON3FC9CA (Artisan 837), auto IP address (currently 192.168.1.103), firmware WB15D3 38.38 linked wirelessly not by Ethernet. iPhone 4S Software 6.1.3 (10B329). iPad 3 Software version 6.1.3 (10B329) Windows Vista 32-bit laptop, linked wirelessly, auto IP address Windows 7 64-bit desktop, linked via Ethernet, auto IP address MagicJack Plus, linked via Ethernet, auto IP address Installing Epson On June 6, 2013, using my laptop, installed it wirelessly on my network. Updated firmware etc. All worked well. Same for the desktop. Again all functioning as planned. The installed printer name was Artisan 837 (Network) When I tried to use the Airprint function on my iPhone it could not find any Airprint printers. I downloaded and ran the Bonjour print services wizard. This created a printer named EPSON3FC9CA (Artisan 837). I could now print wirelessly as planned. Problem solved I thought. As of June 6, 2013 all software and firmware is current. On June 12 attempted to link my iPad to Airprint for the first time. It could not find an Airprint printer. I tried my iPhone and it could no longer find an Airprint printer. I tried numerous powerdowns, reboots, reinstalls etc. to no avail. I can point Safari wirelessly to the printer IP address on both iPhone and iPad and see the printer’s “web page” to check ink level, settings etc. I downloaded Epson iPrint to both iPhone and iPad and that software works as planned allowing wireless printing. I tested the Epson on my older Linksys router and my iPad found it as an Airprint printer! Worked wirelessly as planned. Conclusions The only thing that is not working as planned is Airprint functionality on my TP-Link network. I am thinking there is a setting on the TP-Link router that needs to be adjusted to keep the Bonjour established software path open and persistent. From the time I first established the Airprint connection to the next time I tried to establish a connection was some 6 days. Although the iPad and iPhone renew their network lease every 90 days, the other equipment lease runs for 3 days before renewal. I don’t know if the IP address of the Epson changed on renewal. (Even if it did, I would hope the discover functionality should follow to the new address.) Over that 6 day period there were no software or firmware changes. As far as I know the only environmental change would be related to IP addresses or something else at the router level severing the connection. Before trying a static IP setting for the Epson (and I don’t know if that will work) are there any other router settings to check that will clear up this situation? I am sending this to TP-Link, Epson, Apple, and my ISP in hopes that a solution can be found.

Thank you for your reply. What I didn't mention was that I have spent days googling to find an solution. I have tried most alternatives suggested to no avail. My problem is quite technical and most probably has a very specific and simple solution related to my router (set ABC to 123XY). All alternatives ended, "if this doesn't work contact the supplier". So I have - Apple (here), Epson, TP-Link and my ISP. When (if?) I find a solution I'll post it here for others to learn from.

AirPrint no longer works after 10.6.5 upgrade

I followed the instructions in the following discussion thread (i.e. ran the mentioned script) and Print was working perfectly from my iPhones and iPad. Then other day I updated the OS to 10.6.5 and printing no longer works. I assumed that the changes were overwritten by the OS update so I just ran the Script again, same as before, however Printing still does Not work. Please advise. Could it be that Apple realized this work around and plugged it just to **** their "valued" customers.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2658720&tstart=0
Thanks in advance.

Then other day I updated the OS to 10.6.5
The other day?
Your post in the other thread on 29 November shows you had 10.6.5 installed.
Also I can't explain why but it most certainly did work with the previous OS X
AirPrint is not dependent on the OS
It is dependent on the printer firmware. The printer needs to be on the local network and does not need to be connected directly to a computer.
The fix in that other thread allows iPads to print to printers connected to a Mac.
The code that allows this was not present in Mac OS prior to 10.6.5
If it worked previously, it sounds like you have an AirPrint compatible printer.

AirPrint no longer works with ios 5?

I can no longer print from my print app print n share. I used this app to
Print my "drivers log book" app. Tech support from print n share said
Apple took away the feature to print through all print apps that send wifi
Straight to the printer. Why would apple do this?

It's possible to use free software (Virtualbox and Ubuntu) to fix the broken iOS 5 Airprint printing with non supported printers. Here's a fix that works on my imac, but should also work on even a windows pc.
My setup is a lion imac with 2 non-airprint supported usb printers attached, a belkin wifi router that provides network connectivity for my imac, ipad, and iphone.
Install ubuntu 11.10 in a virtualbox vm. Specify to use the "Bridged Adapter" with "en1: WiFi (AirPort)" for the network hardware. Make sure the imac's usb printers are setup with sharing. On ubuntu, select System Settings > Printers and add your imac's shared printers to the list. Then start ubuntu's firefox and set "localhost:631" in the address. On the administration tab, under the Server section, check "Share printers connected to this system" and hit Change Settings button to activate it. Go back to ubuntu's printer setup, and right click on each printer and check that the properties Policies tab does not have any messages about it being unshared. If so, then go back to firefox and make sure the Server sharing checkbox is enabled. It may help to reboot.
Fire up virtualbox to be able to use AirPort printing to your imac's usb printers, when you want to print from the iphone or ipad. This also works on iOS 5.
Only problem is error message from iphone to check the printer for errors, even though it actually prints ok.

AirPrint No Longer Working After IOS6 Upgrade

I have a OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus printer that supports AirPrint. Months ago, I upgraded an iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPad 2 and iPad 3 to IOS 6.0.1. Now they cannot detect the printer, whereas they all worked under IOS5. I've seen several posts about this and have tried everything, including two worthless support calls with HP. Here are the details:
1. Printer is connected to a wired network with a static IP address.
2. Bonjour is enabled on printer.
3. Replaced older Linksys BEFSX41 router with new Linksys E4200 V2 router.
4. Yes, I rebooted everything numerous times.
5. Firmware is current on router and printer.
6. Printing works fine from all computers on the wired network.
7. Can print from iPhones/iPads using HP's Printer Control app. This is great for testing, but not as a printing solution.
8. Can't detect printer (or print) using Wireless Direct to OfficeJet.
Bottom line, all IOS devices used to see the OfficeJet printer (and print) under IOS5 but no longer under IOS 6. I'm open to suggestions.
Thanks

In order to AirPrint from your iPad/iPhone, here's all you need to do:
1. Make sure the printer and iPad/iPhone are connected to the same local network.
2. Open something you want to print (on the iPad/iPhone).
3. On the iPad/iPhone, tap the "Action" button (arrow curving out of a box).
4. Tap "Print".
The steps below typically resolve the issue you’re experiencing:
1. Power off the printer.
2. Completely power off the iOS devices (hold the Sleep and Home buttons simultaneously until a message appears asking you to "Slide to power off". Slide across that bar, and it should completely power off).
3. Power the printer back on.
4. Power the iOS devices back on.
5. Try to print again.
Those steps usually resolve the issue. If they do not, try this additional steps:
6. Power cycle your router (usually done by unplugging the router’s power cord, waiting 20 seconds, and plugging it back in).
7. Make sure that the iOS devices and the printer are all connected to the same network, then try to print.
If I have SOLVED your issue, please feel free to provide KUDOS and make sure you mark this thread as SOLUTION PROVIDED!

Facebook no longer works in settings but the app does

A couple of months ago, I changed the password for my Facebook account and when I looked on my iPad in Settings and then the Facebook part of the Settings, it now says "There was a problem accessing your account. Please re-enter the password for My Name:. It then has the Password field with required in grey. When I go and put my password in and press either Done at the top of the corner or Return on the keyboard, it keeps on bringing the message up with Error Signing In as the title and then The username or password is incorrect. My password isn't incorrect when I am putting it in. The strange thing though is that the app works perfectly fine.
I am completely stuck for a solution, I've tried resetting my iPad to see if it works and it hasn't. I've also removed the app and then re-install the app from the settings and signing in like I would normally do on my iPad.
This now also means that when I get apps that might require a Facebook connection, it won't connect because obviously according to the iPad, there is no Facebook account linked/the Facebook account isn't signed in.

Hi ferrarinufc500,
I don't believe Facebook treats the mobile versions of its apps in the same way as 3rd party apps linked to your account. In Settings when logged in to Facebook on your browser select Security from the left hand side, you should see the options for App Passwords and Trusted Browsers, check those settings.
You might consider removing Authorisation for your iPad from the Trusted Browsers list, removing and re-installing the App on your iPad again and see if it lets you set up properly after doing that.

Add blocker no longer works, what is wrong?

Adds appear on all pages, when I go to a new sight I get a new tab automatically opening with a survey to answer. I had several inappropriate pages(porn) show up in new tabs uninvited. This all started this morning...and I have never had this problem for the last 8 years that I have been using firefox...I went and disabled add blocker and then reinstalled it but the problem this exists.

Hello,
Do the ads appear on specific sites or all the others as if no ad blocker is installed?

Is it possible to recover my data from iCloud backup without working wifi? I have as many other upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS 7.0.2 with the result that the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth no longer works. However, i can connect to iTunes via cable but there is wrong version of backup.

Answer is no.
If you want the iCloud backup you have to have n internet connection, thus WiFi.
The not working WiFi has happened with quite a number of users.
It is not exactly clear what is the cause but there are suggestions to clear it up:
Some people have had success by removing an apostrophe from the iPhone name. If your iPhone is called something like “John’s iPhone” then this might work. Go to Settings > General > About > Name and change it to something with no apostrophe.
Some people have reported success by putting the iPhone into Airplane mode and then going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings, but the problem may return.
You could also try going to Settings > Control Center and disable Access on Lock Screen then turn your iPhone off and on again.
Make sure that your router firmware is up to date.
Try backing up your iPhone and then restoring it. Check how to factory reset an iPhone for details.
If nothing is working for you, try contacting Apple or take your iPhone into an Apple Store.
Succes, Lex

HT3728 My Time Capsule is working fine with ethernet connection, but it is no longer working with wifi, probably because of my wrong setting; is there a way to reset wifi setting without losing backuped data? Thanks you all

Absolutely sure.. There is no connection at all.. reset is only the router side of the TC.
For the hard disk to be erased you need to access the airport utility disk page.. request erase and confirm the operation.
2) I can access to time capsule by ethernet but I am not able to input the corret setting by myself
Thank you again
I am uncertain why if you have access you cannot change settings.. but that is why you reset things so any of those problems should be fixed.
Here is the Apple info on reset.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3728
And here is the quote from the horse's mouth so to speak.
Factory default reset: Perform this reset if you wish to repurpose the AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule and want to remove all personal profiles and settings first. This reset resets the device to its state when you first purchased it. Data stored on internal or external hard drives connected to the device will not be erased. If you choose, you may manually erase the hard drive using AirPort Utility.

Easy Link 1.6 no longer works and latest version states will not work with my router

I have the WRT54G router (version 8.00.2 firmware) and the Easy Link Software I got with it no longer works correctly (version 1.6), saying I am not connected to the internet even though I clearly am connected. (I theorize that it tries to connect by pinging Linksys and I cannot ping Linksys using any method, so I think Linksys no longer accepts pings.) I downloaded the newest version, thinking it would work, and the forum states it will only work with a few routers that are more recent (I bought mine in Jan 2008.) Am I out of luck, with no verion working correctly? I appreciated the information that was found in the Easy Link Advisor software that I no longer have.

You are a legend!! I have spent countless hours uninstalling, reinstalling itunes, playing with firewall settings, reading articles on this problem!! I only have to un-sync my iphone 5 and then the airplay icon magically appeared!!! Maybe I have too many devices syncing via wi-fi, or maybe it is the Iphone syncing??
Whatever - one step and now I can enjoy my music through my house again!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you

My ringer is no longer working for text and email notifications. Only working for phone calls. I have gone through all the settings to see where something is off. Not finding anything. I have tried changing the tone and it just vibrates on everything.

Ok so I happened to figure it out while on the phone to apple support. Even though the guy was very nice, I think I knew more than him! He was explaining very basic resolution principles I played about. I had the second option in displays resolution. All I did was unplug the HDMI cable, click on 'best for display' then plugged the HDMI in and my resolution on the normal monitor changed to the normal blue, then went black momentarily and then changed to a strange resolution but another window appeared that said SONY BRAVIA HDMI at the top! Hey presto! Don't know why it didn't do it yesterday - I probably left the HDMI cable in or something! Oh well. Problem solved!

My photo stream is no longer working. Both my icloud settings in my phone under "photos" as well as my pc icloud pictures are all set to "on" and pics are no longer uploading to photostream. What's up?

My photo stream is no longer working. Both my icloud settings in my phone under "photos" as well as my pc icloud pictures are all set to "on" and pics are no longer uploading to photostream. What's up?

I experienced this problem recently but was able to solve it by signing out of, then back into Photo Stream on the computer. This will temporarily remove your photos, but once you get signed back in, it will repopulate the photos. Be sure you have updated to the latest version as well.

My Android Galaxy S5 has locked up and gone into endless loading while trying to update to the Kitkat update. I have set it back to factory settings and tried again and it has locked up again. My phone no longer works. What else can I do?

Oh goodness,SLEEPER888. We wish you didn't have this problem while trying to complete this update.You have done quite a bit of troubleshooting on your own. If the phone update does not take, we would need to replace it with the warranty. Is it still locked up?

Linksys router no longer works with Westell 6100 modem

Hi all,
I came back after a 3 month work absence (and many days power outages, according to the neighbors), to find that my system can no longer connect to the internet using the Verizon Westell 6100 modem to a Linksys wrt54G router to 2 PCs!
I reset the Westell modem and directly connected the PC to it and THAT works okay, but put the router back in the mix (so I can connect my other PC) and nothing works!
I have read on this forum about 'Bridgeing" the Westell modem but nothing about setting up the router.
Can someone PLEASE give me explicit instructions on how to:
    1.) set up the Westell modem in this "Bridge" mode,
    2.) Set up the Linksys router to work with the modem again??
    3.) Tell me why the old setup no longer works, did verizon change something for this modem?
Thank you VERY much for your help in this matter!
SUE ;>)

the router has two connections. one is called a WAN and that is a wide area network, and it means the internet in your case. and one is called a LAN, local area network.
what you saw means - that the way you connect to your internet is through PPPoE, a username and a password.
and then way your LAN connects is DHCP, how all of your local computers connect. This is important, because after you bridge the westell, you will be setting your Linksys up for PPPoE connection, and NOT DHCP. if you don't do this step, then you will never connect.
that is fine, and normal. if you follow the instructions at the link provided - you will be able to connect real easily.
you will want to bridge the westell just follow the instructions for "If your Westell uses the red and black Verizon firmware:"
