Brother MFC-6490CW worked with Express but not with Extreme

I'm ready to throw up my hands...my Brother printer sees the network, but won't connect. I used to be able to print to it wirelessly when I had the network setup with an Airport Express.
Recently I purchased an Airport Extreme in the hopes it would provide a more robust signal (my airport express would continually fail forcing me to restart them both frequently). I figured I would simply move the express upstairs as a "booster" and let the extreme become the main router.
WRONG. Now I am unable to print to my Brother inkjet. No matter what I try, the dang thing does not like the new setup. I did have access to it when I hooked it up directly to my mac with a USB cable, but then had problems anyways because of some error message having to do with raster transfer.
The Brother sees my network. In fact, it sees it twice. Is that because the express booster is also on the air? Maybe I should try turning off the WEP password to see if the printer will connect then?
I tried hooking the printer up the express locally with an ethernet cable but that didn't work.
I just can't get the computer to talk with the printer or vice versa...
Anyone have any ideas? I'm ready to give up...

Have you assigned the printer a fixed IP address?
Maybe I should try turning off the WEP password to see if the printer will connect then?
Yes. WEP is no longer considered a secure protocol.

  • Remote Desktop and Brother MFC-6490CW not working

    I have installed a Brother MFC-6490CW on my iMac 20" Intel with Leopard 10.5.6 and have had no problems getting to work using local mac programs printing through the USB cable.
    I cannot get it to work correctly when I log into my Windows 2003 Terminal Server and print to the local Brother printer.
    Originally, I had not installed the driver on the server and the connection would use the standard Apple LaserWriter 8500 driver. This was fine for as long as you only wanted black & white 8.5x11.
    I then installed the driver only on the server and was asked more questions than usual. I had to pick out whether it was a USB or ethernet printer off of the server. Since it is neither, I just selected LPT1 and hoped the remote desktop would ignore it and sent it to the virtual port.
    It does send get sent back to the Mac, but I get the error 'client-error-not-psossible' from the Mac printer spooler.
    Brother support was useless, they said it must be a Microsoft problem. It is amazing that these little disposable $100 printers work fine, but the expensive networkable Brother printer won't. I suspect it is only a configuration problem on the server, but do not know what to do.
    Thanks for the time......

    Mac Skoog –
    I have a few questions for you on this –
    - Is the printer and Server in the same location.
    - Can I assume that the printer is currently connected to the Mac.
    Here are some things to consider –
    When connecting to a Windows system via RDP windows will attempt to connect to the default printer of the computer (Host System) running the Remote Desktop Client. This only works if the connecting system (Windows 2003 server) has the same drive loaded/available as the host system. I have seen issues with RDP not playing well with USB printers or rather USB printers with ‘special’ drivers.
    If the systems are together might I suggest that you connect the printer to the server directly via the network –
    http://www.fullerton.edu/it/services/Networks/faq/PDF/network_printer.pdf
    Once you do this then you won’t need to connect to the printer connected to the Mac.
    Respectfully –

    If it's not an Airprint enabled printer, you can not natively through your iPad.  BUT, there are apps you can purchase in the App Store, like Print Central ($9), which is what I use myself and works well for my needs.

    I am not sure...but have you heard that NS 6/Mozilla are use based on standards. So they dod not support some of the proprietary JS/CSS/Misc functionality of IE or NS 4.0+ versions. You can read more about the JavaScript differences on Netscape's NS6 evangism site. Maybe you are missing something. I think I remember reading something about getElementByID/Name ...

    Fine, you shoud do do either:
    - a group by "acc_total" or
    - use an aggregate function on "acc_total" (like: sum(acc_total), max(acc_total) etc.)

  • Wifi works at home but not when away from home

    My Wifi works at home but not when away from home, what is wrong?  I thought with a phone plan I didn't need to have a wifi connection.

    You either need WiFi or Cellular (or both). If you have neither, you can't connect to the internet.
    Most people use WiFi at home and Cellular while away from home, or connect to public WiFi networks where there are some.

  • Medical app from Intuit works in IE, but not Firefox.

    Encrypted medical app works in new IE, but not Firefox. Everything works down to the end, and click on "continue" and nothing happens. A tech and I have spent hours on this. Did not work on FF5 or 6. Did not work on old IE, but did on fresh new version with no data files copied in.

    If it works in IE but not FF, then it has nothing to do with the mp3s. More likely it's because of the HTML on the page.
    To start, page is missing DOCTYPE declaration... a MAJOR problem. The DOCTYPE declares which set of rules the browser will use to display the page. Without it, different browsers go crazy or do not work at all.

  • Spry menubar works in IE, but not Firefox

    I added a very simple Spry horizontal menubar to the top of all pages in my web (I'm using DWCS4 and Spry 1.6). When I preview it in Firefox locally, it seems to work, but when it is uploaded to the web server it works in IE, but not in Firefox. Instead of a menubar, I see a stack of bulleted hyperlinks. In IE, it displays properly.
    Website is http://www.stevegoldman.com.
    How can I fix this problem so that it works with all browsers properly?

    I just tested your site with firefox (latest version) and it works just fine. I also tested it in IE: 7.0 and it worked fine for that too. Looks like you have either fixed the problem or you have a different version of firefox than me or something.

  • Sockets work on localhost but not remotely?

    hi there,
    I have created a simple multithreaded client / server program.
    The Server listens on port 2222 for clients. When a client connects - the client sends its ip address to the server and then disconects. More than 1 client can connect at the same time to the server and the server also listens continuasly. I have 2 problems with the program...
    a) the programs work on localhost but not on remote machines? (Well not over my LAN anyway).
    b) I am getting 2 lots of 'datain' when the server recieves an ip address from the client when the client should only send it once.
    The code is below - any help would be greatly appreciated.

    http://www.projectg.dsl.pipex.com

    In your client you are creating two sockets (why?). One connected to localhost, the other connected to the host specified using readLine.
    If your client runs on the same machine you have started your server, you have two connects to your server instead of one.
    The ip adresse is sent using the socket connected to localhost. That is why it does not work on remote machines.
    Hope this helps.

  • QTSS Works on Mac but not the other

    I have a Server running OS X Server 10.5.8. I am running QTSS and Apache on this machine, however I am having issues with Quicktime streaming. One mac here is able to successfully stream but all other macs on our network fail to connect despite the QTSS "Connections" window shows the connection to the machine trying to stream the video. In the end on the client Quicktime X shows "Not Found" however I am able to connect to the server via other services (ARD, AFP, HTTP). I can post any logs that might help.
    Thanks in advance

    I couldn't remember what the Display Preferences had said when we tried this last spring and again in the summer, so tonight we connected it again, and wouldn't you know - it worked just fine. We didn't do anything different, so I have no clue as to why it worked this time but not before. He's thinking about getting his own big display, but didn't want to waste his money if he couldn't get it to work, so now I guess we're shopping for another 23" display - probably a used one. Thanks!

    Some links work on pc's like this, and others don't.

    The link is not correct....you have it listed as" mysite.com", which I assume is where you are to insert the name of your url.
