Can Connect to Printer through ethernet network cable, but not through Time Capsule connected to ethernet

I am a lone Mac user in a very large, unsympathetic institution.  If I plug my MacBook Air into the ethernet cable in my office directly, I can print through the office printer.  If I plug the ethernet cable into a Time Capsule and connect my Air to the capsule wirelessly I cannot print to the office printer.  I can access the internet, so I know it isn't a problem with any of the hardware or the wireless connection.
Is it possible that the network, because of Time Capsule, shuffles me into a different subnet than the printer?  Why would it do this?  How would it know?  Is there any kind of fix possible?  (I use the Thunderbolt port to connect my Air to a monitor, so I can't use it to connect to an ethernet cable).
Thanks.

Thank-you very much for this.  How do I tell if it is in routher and bridge?  How do I change it?
Tell me the IP address when you plug into the main network and can print..
Tell me the IP address when you connect wirelessly via the TC.
If they are the same IP range.. then you are on a bridged TC.. if they are different. Then you are on router mode TC and should bridge it.

    I have a Airport network at home with a Time capsule connected via ethernet cable to modem. Also the network is extended wirelessley with an Airport Extreme. I now wish to add a second Airport extreme but am considering a hard wire connection with 100 ft of cat 6 cable from the Time capsule to the second Airport extreme.  Can my network operate properly to extend the network with both a wireless and wired extend functionallity?

    Excellent plan.
    Can my network operate properly to extend the network with both a wireless and wired extend functionallity?
    Yes, but don't get confused about the second AirPort Extreme, as it would not be configured to "extend" a wireless network.....it would be configured to "create a wireless network" using the same wireless network name, security settings and password as the Time Capsule network. Configure the second Extreme in Bridge Mode.
    This Apple support document will show you how to hookup and configure the second AirPort Extreme:

  • I have an iMac running OS X 10.8.3 and have connected an Epson Workforce 2540 printed that is allegedly Airprint enabled. I can connect and print with a USB cable but can't connect via Airprint. My colleague running 10.7 can. Is this a feature of 10.8?

    iOS devices use AirPrint to connect to a supported printer. OS X will use Bonjour to locate and connect to the same printer.
    With the Epson connected to your wireless router, when you open Print & Scan and click the plus button to add, does the Epson appear in a small box with a heading of Nearby Printers?
    If not and a window appears showing Default, Fax, IP and Windows in the toolbar, do you see the Epson with the Default view selected?

  • Can i buy a smaller macbook air (64gb) but use the time capsule for additional data ?

    can i buy a smaller macbook air (64gb) but use the time capsule for additional data ?

    If you plan to store important "original" or "master" files and documents on the Time Capsule, then you might want to think about a way to back up those files to another hard drive.
    Why? If the Time Capsule has a problem...and you have no backups....you lose everything.

  • Airport express connects to internet, will play via airplay, but not through itunes.

    Hello all-
       I just updated to the latest iTunes 12.1.1.4 64 bit and now itunes can no longer send music to my airport express.  It is directly connected via an ethernet cable.  The wifi portion of the airport express works, I can find it in the airport utility, I can send music via airplay from my iphone...just cannot connect to the device in itunes to play music.  I also tried airfoil and it cannot find it either.  Thanks for the help

    Thank you for responding, Duane, I'll give it a try. I suspect the cordless phone is the culprit. I do wonder though, if it is why my Safari and Mail aren't kicking in even if the Wireless Network is working fine.
    If I may repeat that part of the issue: often, when downstairs, I actually can connect to the wireless network, and I see in the network connection window the words "Connected via PPoe", yet Safari will not connect to the internet, claiming "could not find PPoe"; and Mail will not connect to the online server, instead reading "working offline" no matter what I do. At such times it's almost as if Safari and Mail are in a different non-functioning universe than my functioning wireless network. Why won't they go along for the ride?

  • Macs not seeing Time Capsule connected via Ethernet to router

    Just bought a new Time Capsule to replace one where the hard disk failed.  I have a fibre router which is my primary WiFi network and the Time Capsule is connected to that by Ethernet.  The Time Capsule shows up in the Wired connections of the router so I know that the router can see the TC.  I have the Time Capsule set up to supply a separate WiFi network under a different SSID for legacy purposes as I have devices that are configured to that SSID before I got my new router.
    The new TC will not backup successfully unless the Macs are connected to the TC SSID, failing with the message that the Backup Disk cannot be found.  This is different from the behaviour of the last TC where the Macs would see the network drive even when connected to the router SSID.
    I'm sure there is a simple setting that I'm missing that would just make this work, but I can't work it out...

    There are some issues which have popped up with the TC and some routers.. particularly that the WAN connection is not working correctly.
    Try using one of the LAN ports on the TC and see if that helps.
    Also open the Network utility in the computer and run the netstat scan .. it looks like this.
    Locate the TC on the computer that is having issues.
    Then ping it.. use the full domain..
    eg in terminal mine is ping tcgen4.local
    I think you should rename the TC to all smb names.. ie short, no spaces pure alphanumeric as it simply works better.
    Then if the TC shows up in the ping, mount the hard disk manually,
    In finder, Go connect to server and type
    AFP://TCname.local (use the full domain name of the TC from the netstat scan).. or use the IP you get when you ping it.. although that is going to keep changing unless you can lock it.

  • User can browse by drilling down in Network places but not by entering path.

    This is the setting in group policy that would be blocking it
    User Configuration>Administrative Templates>Start Menu and Task Bar>Remove Run menu from Start Menu (enabled or disabled?).

    If you believe it may be a GPO, my first step would be to run a RSOP on the user and see what his resultant group policy is. Then we can eliminate that as a factor. Everyone's group policies in their environment are radically different, so if you think that is the problem, all we could do at this point is speculate on the resolution.
    Use the wizard in the group policy mmc and see what you come up with. You could even post the results if you need help understanding them.

  • My new USB 3.0 external drive isn't accessible over network when plugged into my Time Capsule.

    It is a Seagate Backup Plus 3 TB desktop drive. Every other (USB 2) drive has worked like this, and this one works when plugged into my computer directly. I tried asking Seagate about it, but they said it was an Apple problem if the drive works when plugged directly into my computer. Besides, USB 3.0 is supposed to be backwards compatible, right?
    My Time Capsule software is up to date, but is there some software difference between my 2009 MacBook Pro and my 2008 Time Capsule that allows my computer to recognize USB 3.0 drives but not my Time Capsule? Anyone have an idea about how to fix this?

    Check the documentation on your drive to make sure that it is formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) to work with the USB port on the Time Capsule.
    Your Mac supports other formats, so it is possible that the Mac can "see" the drive and the Time Capsule cannot if it is not formatted correctly for the Time Capsule.
    If you still cannot "see" the drive, it is likely that you will need to use a powered USB hub for the drive...even if the drive has its own power supply.
    Your Mac has a high powered USB port, while the Time Capsule port is not high powered.

  • How to Connect My Printer to The Network

    My printer is LaserJet M1212nf.  According to the brief introduction I should connect the printer to the network first in order to enable its e-printing function.  I'm working at home.  I don't share information with other computers.  Does "network" mean my home internet?  Do I need to use either a cable or a USB to connect it to the home internet?  Or is there another way?  Once it is connected, how can I get an email address from HP for my printer?

    Hi,
    Your printer can be connected to your network to print but it's not an ePrint printer:
          http://www.shopping.hp.com/shopping/pdf/ce841a.pdf
    It has a LAN card, you can connect it to your network and print wirelessly (note: print wirelessly and ePrint are two different things).

  • Can i unplug time capsule from the ethernet cable and still use it??

    can i unplug time capsule from the ethernet cable and still use it??

    I have tried to extend that wireless line but as soon as i remove the LAN cable i have no internet connection anymore. So basically, does the TC get the signal wireless from the router??
    The Time Capsule can wirelessly extend a wireless signal....but only if it is being provided by another Apple AirPort wireless router.
    If the "main" rotuer there is not an Apple AirPort router,  you will need to connect to the network using a wired Ethernet connection.

    I can see my printer and iPad on router but iPad cannot connect to printer. Printer is on list of air printer models accepted. Help!

    You may have to visit the printer manufacturer's web site and look into their support pages to get a print driver for your Mac, and install it. Or see if you can see if a driver may already be in your Mac by checking settings, since there are many drivers already installed in Mac OS X.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Connecting computer to tv for viewing EPIX,ETC.. but not through router?????

    I need to start connecting computer to tv for viewing EPIX,ETC.. but not through router?????  I have a workroom with a TV but without cable connection, so I thought I would connect my computer to my TV.  I have an Acer Aspire laptop. and a 27" tv.  Please can anyone tell me how to get this to work.  I need something to watch while I am working.

    I'm a little confused here as to what you're looking for. Are you simply trying to get Internet Connectivity to the computer using the best method possible or are you looking to try and send a signal to the TV without a cable connection going to it? The computer's Internet portion is easy if that is the case. If we can just get some additional information on that, we'll figure out how to approach it.
    1: Does this Workroom have any Coaxial cabling going to it that can be connected back to the cabling the FiOS equipment is using?
    2: Is Ethernet cabling available and running to the location of the router, or nearby?
    3: Would Wireless work for you (as much as it is not ideal)?
    4: Are you looking for a Physical connection to the network?
    Now if what you're trying to accomplish is the actual connection between the Computer and the TV, check to see what inputs the TV supports (HDMI, VGA, DVI, Component, Composite) and see what the laptop supports (DisplayPort, VGA, HDMI, DVI). More than likely the Laptop would have a VGA connection along with the TV. Your best bet would be to honestly just connect a VGA Cable between the two machines, and then for audio, just use a 3.5" to Composite connection for the TV (Unless the TV has a 3.5" Input jack for the PC Input). If HDMI is available on both devices, by all means use that. Same with DVI as both give better picture quality over a VGA Cable.
    If you can give us exact model numbers, that would help.

  • HT4259 Direct Connect  Two Time Capsules together with Ethernet.

    I have TWO Time Capsules  ( One upstairs providing Time Machine backup to IMAC #1 )  and  (One downstairs providing Time Machine Backup to IMAC#2)
    I would like to extend the wireless network portion of this to reach the whiole house with ONE wireless network. I know I can EXTEND the network, but my question is can Connect the two time capsules together via Ethernet cable ( my house is pre wired).  This will essentially ensure that the two devices have a solid connection instead of relying on WIRELESS.
    Any reasons to NOT do this?
    Time Machine will be used differently on the two devices.
    Thanks
