Appletalk laserwriter won't print over airport wireless. please help.

i have an old apple personal laserwriter 320 which prints plug and play to my G5 (10.4.4) connecting ethernet (appletalk on) with asantetalk adapter. no problems at all.
i like to share this printer wirelessly by connecting it an airport express base station.
i cannot get my network of powerbook and G5 (all 10.4.4) to print to it, they cannot see it.
1. can it be used wirelessly with the airport express base station?
2. what about airport extreme base station?
3.i turned on appletalk in airport under network settings. how about under airport admin utilities?
i must be setting the network configurations wrong, or is it appletalk or the asantetalk ethernet adapter?
can someone please help me through this setup?

Well, I use an HP-6MP with an AsanteTalk hooked to an Airport Extreme Base Station and I use Tiger 10.4.4 and everything works fine. My wife's dual USB iBook, circa 2001, with an internal airport card, uses the HP printer with no problems. The same setup works with OS 9 too.
I also have an Airport Express hooked up to my livingroom stereo that I use with both iTunes and AirFoil. I've never tried using the Airport Express with the AsanteTalk, but I can't imagine that it wouldn't work since it works with the AEBS.
The startup routine is touchy, the printer has to be allowed to fully complete its warmup cycle before powering up the AsanteTalk. Try disconnecting the power to the AsanteTalk for about 10 seconds while everything else is hooked and powered up, then reconnect the power, the lights should flash on the AsanteTalk, then open the Printer Setup Utility, wait about 10 seconds and the printer should then appear, if it isn't there already. When we have power outages from say thunderstorms, I often have to recycle the AsanteTalk's power because when the power comes back on, it completes it startup cycle before the HP does and printer setting disappears.
It's not a matter of adding AppleTalk to the AEBS or Airport Express. There are no options for that. The settings are only in the computer network/airport settings. Both of your computers need to be configured to have AppleTalk active under the Airport network settings.
And as mentioned before, don't use the yellow ethernet cord.

  • My 2nd generation Airport Extreme very slow via wireless (5 and belows mbps) wired over 20. Please help!

    My 2nd generation Airport Extreme very slow via wireless (5 and belows mbps) wired over 20. Please help! What could it be?

    It is very possible that you may have some form of Wi-Fi interference nearby that is preventing your AEBSn from providing a clean RF signal on the 2.4 GHz band.
    I suggest you perform a simple site survey, using utilities like iStumbler, or AirRadar to determine potential areas of interference, and then, try to either eliminate or significantly reduce them where possible.

  • AEBS, won't let me print wirelesly. problem over 2 months, please help.

    Hello
    I can not print wirelesly via AEBS, please help it drives me crazy.
    Our computers:
    Macbook pro 2ghz, lates update 10.4.6
    G4 powerbook, latest update 10.4.6
    AEBS latest update V5.7
    Epson RX500, with latest updates on our machines.
    We have ADSL conection. I have a router which connects AEBS to the internet.
    Both G4 and Macbook connects without problem to the internet.
    Epson printer is connected to AEBS.
    When I tried to add printer in macosx I'm able to see the printer. I follow instructions and printer is added. I can see the name of printer and lokation on AEBS. All is corect, but won't let me print wirelesly. (with usb no problem).
    I played with AEBS utility where funny thing happend. There is in Network share a single IP address. When I change it from 10.0.1.1 to 192.168.1.1 addressing then I can print, but internet doesn't work. (192.168.1.1 is my zyxel router so I understand that should not work anyway).
    If I set it back 10.0.1.1 than internet works and printing not.
    what else should I configure?
    Thank you very much for your help.

    You should ensure that under the Network Tab, the AEBS is configured to NOT distribute IP addresses as you already have the Zyxel router doing that function on your network.

  • Been stuck for over  a year, please help me do this

    so i have this laptop with 8gb ram and core i7 as well as 2 hdd (no raid).
    Now i heard about premiere (cs4) and my laptop is ready to take most of the advantage but the hard drive is the bootleneck.
    Basically, all i want is to do few cuts in a video that was filmed by sony hdr-sr11 camcoder in hd 1080 60i settings. Now i heard i need 3 hard drives etc, but at the moment, i only have 2.
    So is there anyway i can do simple cuts in premiere without losing any quality and slowdown in fps or is there any other software that can be better? I really don't want to lose any quality or fps with the g73jh-a2 asus laptop i have?
    i also have ati 5870 video card

    The lowest was 19mb, but was floating arond 30mb. Still that aint good..
    I can't afford the partition magic and i heard its not good to partition after installing windows. I am thinking of fresh install, but if there is a workaround, it would save me tons of time as not installing apps etc.
    For the setup
    1)Can i have the programs in secondary drive? What about just a game or 2?
    2)By projects, do you mean the videos that im going to edit?
    3)what is scratch?
    4) By media, do you mean videos im going to edit?
    Lastly, what about a bit of data? Like <50gb.. Pictures documents etc
    Like, truly anonymous

    i did hdtune and was the os drive was 100mb-19mb in the end and the
    secondary one was 105-45~mbps
    Those figures are disturbing. For any reasonably modern 7200 RPM disk these figures should be around 120 - 60 MB/s. If it goes down to below 20, something is seriously wrong. Now that may be caused by your partitioning or something else, hard to discern from here, but these results are worrisome.
    Maybe Partition Magic can help you get rid of all these partitions, otherwise a complete reformat and fresh install of OS & programs is all that is left.
    Setup should be something like this:
    C: OS & programs & projects
    D: Pagefile, scratch and media
    It depends a bit on the nature of your projects, your workflow, but in general you set up your disks in such a way that disk accesses are spread over the available disks as much as possible.

    Why would this be covered under warranty?  There is nothing wrong with the device, it simply needs to be restored.
    As already stated twice in this thread, disable ALL security software on the computer and restore the device.

    After a week's worth of debugging, I found the issue.
    The Java type returned from the call was defined as ArrayList.  Changing it to List resolved the problem.
    I'm not sure why ArrayList isn't a valid return type, I've been looking at the Adobe docs, and still can't see why this isn't valid.  And, why it works in Debug mode and not in Release build is even stranger.  Maybe someone can shed some light on the logic here to me.

    I don't believe that Samsung ever made a driver for this model that worked in intel. Unfortunately, I think your printer is just too old. You can read here

  • Airport won't print over the network

    I have a basic HP Photosmart C4200 series printer. It works fine when I plug it directly into my computer but when I plug it into the router, it won't print and this message comes up : "Unable to read response header - short read"
    When I delete/add the printer from Preferences, it finds the printer and establishes connection but when I try to print over the network, it gives me that error message.
    A weird thing I found was that when connected to the airport, my printer shows up under the iDisks tab under the Airport Utilities instead of being in the Printers tab...

    Welcome to the discussions!
    A number of entry level printers are designed so that they will only work when they are connected directly to a computer, so that may possibly explain your problem.
    To verify, you can work your way through Apple's troubleshooting guide to see if this is the case. If you've completed all the steps and still can't print, I think you have your answer.

  • Officejet J3680 won't print to PC wirelessly via airport extreme

    Hi,
    I currently have the HP Officejet J3680 connected to the usb port of my airport extreme. My mac can print wirelessly without missing a beat but my hp laptop (windows 7 64bit) won't. I have installed the printer software and bonjour but still no luck. Please help!

    new problem though, i tried adding the wireless printer to my husband's mac air but it doesn't detect the printer.  how do i allow him to print wirelessly too?
    The setup should be the same as you Mac. If this Mac Air is also running 10.7, then with Print & Scan open and you selecting to add the printer and then with the Default Add Printer view selected, the MF8050 should be seen. If the printer is not visible, then there could be an application on his MB Air that is blocking the Bonjour protocol.
    But you don't have to add the printer using the Default Add Printer. If you can determine the IP address the printer has acquired then you can add the MF8050 by opening Print & Scan and selecting to add, but then selecting the IP icon. From the new menu, select the LPD protocol and then enter the IP address of the MF. The Queue name can be left blank, the Name changed to something more meaningful than the IP address and the Location left blank. Then in the Print Using menu you can browse for the MF8050 UFRII driver.
    If you need help with locating the IP address used by the MF then please reply.

    Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
    Sometimes you do have to restart everything again, including the Router - even after you have installed the Full Feature Software.
    If that does not work (restarting the Router), you might try this:
    Remove the Printer software from Control Panel > set icon view > Programs and Features > Right-Click on the program > Uninstall
    Shut down the computer
    Shut down / Switch off the printer
    Switch off the Router
    Wait around for 2 minutes...
    Switch on the router and wiat for it to boot completely - say, 1 minute.
    Boot the computer and log in
    Switch on the printer
    Install the Full Feature Software for the printer following the instructions:

  • Tiger on iNtel iMac "Printing" over Airport to HP 2100M

    Nice new iNtel iMac 2GHz running Airport Extreme can't print via Airport to a networked HP 2100M. The HP has an EIO card and it's connected to the LAN by that cable.
    I have an old iMac that's hardwired to an ethernet hub that's being driven by the AEB and the HP 2100M is also connected to that hub.
    The old iMac sees the printer and prints just fine.
    The new Intel iMac doesn't see the HP over Appletalk and I'm not able to figure out how to setup the new iMac to print via Airport using the IP address of the HP printer.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Here's a 30,000 ft level view of my LAN:
    Internet Cloud =>Comcast Cable ISP =>Cable Router
    AEB =>Linksys Ethernet Hub
    •iMac 350MHz (don't laugh. She's still a beauty) OSX 10.2.8
    •HP 2100M with Network EIO card
    iNtel iMac (sees the Internet just fine via AEB, but can't see the printer for patootie!)
    iNtel iMac 2GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.5)   HP 2100M with EIO network card, AEB LAN,

    Unfortunately, that didn't work. I power cycled the cable modem, AEB, router hub, and the printer and the iMac still can't "see" the printer.
    I've looked at the Airport discussions and this problem is a larger issue than the iNtel iMacs. It sounds like it's probably an AEB issue.
    I'm running the latest firmware to no avail. It almost sounds to me in the Apple literature that they only support USB printing through Airport. This would be a serious blunder as the business world relies more on networked server based laserwriters than USB dot matrix printers.
