AX and wireless 802.11g printer sharing

Would anybody know to configure this:
Situation:
An existing AX connected to the internet and sharing it's internet access with two users - working fine
Question:
Is it possible to configure this network so that a coexisting wireless 802.11g printer can also be shared between the two users (wirelessly - not using the USB port on the AX), without the users having to alternate their Airport card between Internet-network and Printer-network?

It is possible if the printer can be configured to wirelessly join the network provided by the AX.

Airport dual enet snow and usb 802.11g wireless usb adapter

Can I use a wireless 802.11g adapter with my imac (iLamp)to connect to my snow base station, or bo I need ans xxx.11g /b adapter?

Sorry - I missed that from the title of your message.
The answer to that question is no - an exclusively 802.11g USB wireless adapter will not be able to connect to a Snow Base Station. I'd be surprised if this was ever an issue - I don't know of any exclusively 802.11g USB wireless adapters that work with Macs.
I suggest you avoid use of USB wireless adapters with Macs. Yes some people have used them successfully, but still more people have nothing but grief with these devices. Very, very few USB wireless adapters have any MacOS driver support in the first place.

802.11g Printer Card for DeskJet 460c Printer

I am trying to install a 802.11g CF card and print to my 460C DeskJet wirelessly from this computer and my other laptop. Both computers have wireless capability and use the Belkin Wireless Router to access the internet.
I cannot seem to find the correct steps to complete the installation. I have been to Dell Chat 3 times, the "suggestions" have ranged from move the printer to another room away from the wireless router to sending the card back to the retailer . The guys are very polite, but dont have a clue!!
I have tried the step by step instructions on the HP site, but it never gets to installation and testing of the unit. I do not have the starter CD, and the HP site says to use the driver that comes with Vista. I have a working Wireless Network to the internet and the latest drivers in my HP printer and a working printer when attached via USB Help
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I'm having exactly the same problem. In my case, I have the HP Starter CD. I exported the wireless profile to a usb stick and inserted it in the back of the 460c but I can no instructions anywhere as to what to do next...

Connecting AX (802.11n) and AX (802.11g) to create WDS

Hello I'm currently trying to connect my new Airport Extreme (802.11n) to my old Airport (802.11g)
in the aim of extending my network. So I would like to have the 11n as my main.
and 11g as a remote I think?
can anybody give me a step by step on how I would go about this on Airport Utility?
I think my main problem is that my old Airport is connected to a different network.
Kyle

You would need to configure the 802.11n AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) to operate in an 802.11g compatible mode. You would need to configure one AEBS to operate as a WDS main. You would need to configure the other AEBS to operate as a WDS remote (or relay). An Unfortunate side effect of WDS is that each link cuts your available wireless bandwidth in half. Therefore the maximum wireless bandwidth achievable is 1/2 the 802.11g rate.

Big area covering - Wireless 802.11g

What is the better solution to coverege a circular area with 4 miles (6 km) of diameter? (with 802.11g) TIA

Depending on your anticipated traffic loads, a high-gain omni in the center with directionals on the periphery aimed at the omni usually works pretty well.
If you are anticipating heavy traffic from each/all peripheral locations, then you may want to go with several APs at the center, each with a directional antenna toward the remote it will serve.
If you are trying to cover a large area for clients (i.e. WISP) then you're looking at a large matrix of APs ala cellular ... conencted either by cabling, or an RF backbone (like the 15000 series ... 802.11b to the clients, 802.11a forms a mesh backbone).
Some details would help.

OSX and wireless (third party) print server problems - 'host is busy' again

The setup:
MBP running OSX 10.5.2
Zyxel NSA-220 (with latest firmware) hardwired to a Lynksys wireless router (running Tomato firmware)
Canon PIXMA iP4500 with CUPS+Gutenprint v5.1.7 drivers
I'm trying to set up the NSA as a print server. I can ping the NSA, it shows up fine in finder and I can access the shares on the discs - all wirelessly.
However the Canon setup program can't locate the printer when it tries to align the print heads, so I tried using Print & Fax to set up IP printing, with LPD as protocol and the IP address of the NSA, selecting CUPS drivers rather than the Canon ones.
The issue comes when I try to print and get locked in a 'Network host x.x.x.x is busy' cycle that never ends. I switched from M$ about 12 months and think I'm reasonably computer literate but feel like a mac newbie when problems like this hit. Grateful for any advice.

I helped another postee with a SimpleShare NAS. Reading the user documentation for the device, it showed the Windows connections using smb, ie you simply browse to the device via Network Neighborhood, double-click then select the printer name.
To use smb on the Mac, you select Windows Printing when you add the printer, then browse to the workgroup, then the Zyxel computer name and then the printer share name. Note that if the printer share name has spaces and too many characters, it can cause problems so keep the name short, such as iP4500, and don't have any spaces.
With regards to the current use of LPD as the protocol, this will be the cause of the network busy error as the device probably doesn't support UNIX print services (which btw is what you need to enable on Windows Server if you were to connect the same way).
One final note. The recent Security Update 2008-002 stopped some users from connecting to their current Windows share. One workaround has been to add the user account information into the queue name. This can be done by modifying the view for the Print & Fax Add Printer dialog box, so that the Advanced Printing option appears. Control-click on the icon bar in the Add Printer dialog box and then select Customize then Advanced. Within this selection will be the option to use Windows Printing via SAMBA. This lets you add the printer with all the necessary info, such as the example following.
smb://NSAusername:password@NSA_IPAddress/iP4500
Once you have entered the queue name, you can then browse to the Canon Gutenprint v5.1.7 iP4500 driver.

Wireless 802.11g Router Displaying Two Channels??

I downloaded iStumbler tonight to monitor my wireless setup, primarily to make sure I wasn't clashing with channels on other nearby networks, and surprisingly my router is broadcasting TWO channels (although it wasn't earlier in the day). On Channel 6 as is its defaults but also Channel 0??
Unsurprisingly, my iMac can't maintain a wireless connection.
Any ideas? I'm going to power cycle the router but this seems very odd...??
I have a screen Grab of the iStumbler window that I can send to anyone who's interested in helping out here...
Cheers
Luke

Does no one have any comments or queries?
I thought I'd expand on this cause I am wondering whether it has anything to do with the problems of connectivity that a lot of people have been suffering with recently.
While monitoring the network and while my iMac is connected I see my network broadcasting on Channel 6.
But during the evening I lost connectivity, and the two times this happened, the iMac / iStumbler via the Airport card was picking up a second channel on the network. This channel was showing these statistics:
Channel: 0
MAC Address: 00-00-00-00-00-00-0
Vendor: Xerox
Freq: -1
I called the modem/router support line as, the one reason I bought this modem/router was that they had good support for Apple Macs: they were bemused and had not seen it before, their only suggestion being that the new 802.11n wireless spec will use TWO channels to boost network performance, therefore could it be the drivers / airport card trying to search for a second channel that's knocking out the connectivity?
They were a bit worries that it might be their wireless router in which case they've offered a refund / exchange but I'm going to try getting a friend round with an older Mac and iStumbler installed to see if he can view this miscellaneous channel as well...
Any thoughts or views would be welcome, I'm not expert on wireless technology nor macs, but do think this is very odd.

How's playback from external hard drives and 802.11g?

I'm thinking about putting my movies on an external Firewire hard drive connected to my iMac Intel Core 2 Duo.
Does it make a difference in playback jumpiness if any with:
1. The movies on an external Firewire hard drive connected to my Mac?
2. The movies on an external USB 2 hard drive connected to my Mac?
3. 802.11g shared network with one other computer and internet connection.
4. 802.11g adhoc network and second 802.11g network for internet on other machines in the neighborhood?
5. 802.11n adhoc network with 802.11n upgraded machine and a second 802.11g network for internet with other machines in the neighborhood?
6. Must the video play on the AppleTV hard drive to stream to the TV, or can video that is not on the AppleTV be played back?
7. Unrelated question, but do TV shows show menus which are alphabetical with submenus which are also alphabetical?
Please only people who have already received their AppleTV let me know what you find.

what if I want all my movies and shows and music served from my HD but my photos to reside on the ATV...is that possible!?It is what I am doing. Basically, I simply set the main iTunes host to sync all music (115 files) and all photos (928), but nothing else. When I want to look at the photos (with music), I merely switch to the "TV" (sync) mode. When I want to stream any of the movies, TV Shows, and/or Podcasts, I just switch to the Named Music Library (streaming) mode for the same iTunes host.

TC and wireless printer

My problem is I have my dedicated line for broadband coming in upstairs, so that is where my modem has to be to get internet service. I have a Linksys router, Time Capsule and modem all on my network working fine (except my Back To My Mac isn't but that is another story).
I want to get rid of the Linksys and use the TC as my wireless network, which I have done but can't figure out, how I can hook up my Cannon 6980 wireless printer to the TC network without the printer being directly plugged into the TC. I want the printer downstairs in the new office. I know.... have the cable guy put in a new outlet for the broadband in the new office. I will as a last resort but would rather not.
Thanks,
Karin

KRBOH,
Connect it to one of your Macs downstairs, and then turn on Printer Sharing in the Print & Fax Preferences. All Macs should be able to print to it then.

[SOLVED] Wireless 802.1x PEAP Windows 7 and Windows 2012 NPS and CA

Hello,
We are in progress of migrating our RADIUS (Windows 2003 R2) and Certificate (Windows 2003 R2) servers to 2012 (R2). This went fine, no problems. After that we have changed
our Wireless controller a Cisco 5508. We have change our certificate from a 1024bits to a 2048bits certificate.
We tested the other certificate functions and that went fine too.
But we experience a problem with wireless 802.1x in combination with Windows 7 machines. We have Windows 8 and 8.1 machines that do not experience this problem and wireless 802.1x?
We recreated the wireless policy but also no success.
We have seen this problem before, with a customer who had a Windows 2008 R2 certificate server and Windows XP machines with wireless 802.1x . Exact the same problem. After
decommissioning the Windows 2008 R2 certificate server and changed it to a Windows 2003 R2 certificate server, there where no problems any more.
It looks like that older versions of Windows do not work with newer certificate servers?
Do we miss something? Can someone confirm this.
We already looked for these forum posts, but with no success

Printer Sharing after upgrading to iTunes 8, Quicktime 7.5.5 and Front Row

Hi,
Yesterday I upgraded iTunes, Quicktime and Front Row. Print Sharing which has been working with no problems since I purchased a HP Photosmart D5360 is now broken. I have tried uninstalling the printer on both host and client computers, turning sharing on and off, rebuilding permissions on both host and client.
Wondering if any others have experienced any problems after installing these recent updates?
Cheers,

Have fixed the problem.
Deleted the printer from the client computer. Reset the printer on the host computer. Used Disk Utility to repair permissions on the Host computer. Added the printer back onto the host computer. Turned print sharing back on.
Used Disk Utility to repair permissions on the client computer. Added the printer back onto the client computer. Can now connect to and print from the client computer.
Have a good day.

Connecting to 802.11g Projector

Just received a Hitachi CP-X2 LCD projector. All works fine when connected via video cable. I insert its wireless 802.11g card, and WiFind "sees" the unsecured device - but I cannot properly access the projector.
Where's a tutotial on establishing this type of connection with a MacBook Pro?

OK - I see
The projector needs to connect to a network (to be set up under the MIU menu / SETUP on the projector). Either turn DHCP on (if your base station is providing DHCP) or provide IP address, subnet mask and default gateway (the routers IP number). You also have to set the wireless channel (CH, normally 11) and the encryption (WEP / WPA) if any, leave the SPEED parameter at AUTO and set the NETWORK MODE to wireless; the MODE is normally infrastructure when using a base station.
The projector needs to have a valid IP configuration (and encryption settings if applicable) otherwise it cannot connect to the network. Normally the network will include a wireless router - but you can also set up the MBP to share the internet connection (when you do this the Airport antenna can not be used to connect to a router at the same time) under System Preferences - Sharing - Internet. The projector can then use the MBP as the gateway. I always use an Airport Express as it is more convenient and have not much experience with the latter set-up. Maybe somebody else can give more details here.
HTH,

Can Airport Extreme Base Station 802.11g Connect To Park's Free WiFi?

The RV resort where I'm staying has free WiFi for Internet connections. It shows up on my iBook's Airport list of possible networks in the menu bar, along with my own local network which is an older Airport Extreme Base Station (white dome 802.11g) which has my HP printer plugged into it via an ethernet cable.
However, when I am connected to the park's WiFi via the laptop's Airport network choices, I am NOT connected to my AEBS, and therefore cannot print to the printer wirelesslessly. Is there a way for the AEBS to make the connection to the park's WiFi so I can use both Internet and printer from my iBook G4 without having to switch from one network to use the other?

Is there a way for the AEBS to make the connection to the park's WiFi so I can use both Internet and printer from my iBook G4 without having to switch from one network to use the other?
Sorry, but no. You cannot connect your iBook's AirPort to more than one wireless network at a time. Since it will be highly unlikely that you will be able to create a Wireless Distribution System (WDS) between your RV resort's Wi-Fi and the 802.11g AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS), you won't be able to extend it to meet your needs.

Windows - Mac Printer Sharing???

I have a perfectly working HP Photosmart 7150 connected to my Windows XP PC. I also have a wireless network running through my house. I have enabled Printer Sharing and other Windows XP (and Vista) Laptops can print to it wirelessly. How do I do this for my new Macbook?
If I connect it via USB cable, the Macbook instantly recognizes it and printing is immediately possible. I do not know why this is not happening wirelessly....? It can't even detect the HP Photosmart Printer over the wireless network. "Printer Sharing" is ticked in the Sharing Preferences in my Mac. The printer is not in "Print and Fax" nor does it show up when I click the + sign.
Help me, please. If you need any other details, please ask.
HP says HP Photosmart 7150 drivers are pre-installed in Tiger. However, the model name is not listed when I have to choose Make and Model. Why? How can I fix this?

Shawn, please do some reading here in the forum.
The Photosmart driver doesn't show up for network printing because it was written for USB only.
