Can i connect a printer to the usb port on airport express

I've setup my Airport Express 802.11n with my HP Deskjet D2600 series printer, reset, reconfigured, etc. but it is still saying "Printer is offline" when I try to print. What am I missing?

Never mind - I tried "rebooting". I hate it how that always works!

  • Can Slingbox solo be plugged into the Ethernet port on airport express to connect to network?

    Slim box requires a wired connection to your network unless you purchase their sling link to create a wireless connection through your home electrical outlets.  Can an airport express be used instead?  Would the sling box plug into the Ethernet port on the express or though the USB port.

    It may be possible as the 802.11n AirPort Express can be configured to enable its Ethernet port for wired clients in one of two methods: 1) The Express is extending another AirPort, or 2) The Express is configured as a wireless Ethernet bridge.

  • Can't connect my camera using the usb port.  Why does an error message appear?

    I've connected this camera hundreds of times in the past.  But now it says"A USB is attached that is drawing too much current.  The hub to which it is attached will be deactivated."  What's going on?  This is just a little digital point and shoot.

    A powered hub is a USB hub with it's own power supply.  Google "powered hub".  There's plenty to choose from.  These don't depend on the computer connection to supply power to the USB devices connected to them.  That's the reason for them requiring a separate power supply and of course why they are called "powered hubs".
    The fact that your camera works when the printer is disconnected confirms what I have been saying.  The machine just cannot supply enough power (I think it's 500mA max) to supply all the devices you want to connect concurrently (or it's right on the ragged edge).
    As for seeing the power draw, the info is indeed in the System Profiler*.  Select a USB device and look for info labeled "Current Available (mA)" and "Current Required (mA)".  It's the current required that I think is the power draw.
    * It's also shown in USB Prober in the Developert tools utilities.

  • How much power can deliver the USB port on AirPort Express?

    I am developing an appliance that requieres access to a WiFi router and a power source (UL 60950-1 compliant) of less than one watt (100-200 mA @ 3.3V) to power my own WiFi device, and the AirPort Express can be the right device to solve both problems with minimun overhead. The problem is that I cannot find the specification of the current / power limits of its USB port.
    To check if it can provide the usual five unit loads, I tried to charge an iPhone 4, but it fails showing the message "Charging is not supported with this accessory", and an external 2.5" HD which requires 500 mA causes the following message to appear on AirPort Utility:
    USB Power
    A device connected to this AirPort base station's USB port requires more power than this AirPort base station can provide. Plug the device into a power supply if possible, or connect it to a powered USB hub.
    Any insight will be welcome.

  • What is the best way to connect my guitar to the usb port on my IMac

    This is for use with Logic Pro X
    what is the best way to connect my guitar to the usb port on my
    I-Mac

    As has been said really, the less you pay the less quality, and flexibility you'll have on your sound.
    For example, you could run on a 'Rocksmith Real Tone Cable' if you just wanted a cheap way of getting your guitar into the computer for some fun.  Probably cost you $30 (I live in UK so can't be sure).  If you're starting out then this could be considered the best option for dipping your toe in the water without spending too much.
    You won't get a really nasty sound out of that if you can process it yourself in Logic afterwards to clean up, but it won't be great either.  I imagine it could get quite noisy so you'd need to get heavily gating your guitar sound, if you're playing something clean that's not ideal.
    Longterm, you're far better getting a decent audio interface, as you need something to play sound back through, if you have different input sources you usually have to create an aggregrate device on osx to use multple sources at once esp if you're using the built in audio chip on your mac to listen. 
    All this can add latency and possibly sync issues (i.e. drum tracks not in time with audio etc.), although generally it's not too bad, but it's something worth knowing if you want to do things on the cheap without buying a dedicated interface.
    What kind of money did you want to spend? Are you thinking super duper cheap, and then see how it goes and maybe spend more in future if you enjoy it?  Personally i would say £100-150 would get your something good to start with, like that Presonus audiobox, there's a lot of options like that available.
    My local music shop always push the alesis io2 on new users, gotta say i'm not that overly impressed with it.  Line 6 stuff will be good however, but limiting.  Although i beleive you get their software for free with it?

  • Hi can i connect hifi digital and my home wifi to airport express.

    Hi i have been thinking about adding my hifi  and sony digital TV to my home network which consist of three mac computers and has a wifi internet connection. What are the advantages of using airport express over bluetooth hardware. Using the male single plug on the airport express what is the sound clarity like from my Iphone. At present it is not very good using earphone jack on my Iphone 4 to Hifi. Will it improve with airport express. What is the difference between airport express and extreem. Lots of questions maybe a few answers. thankyou Paul

    Re Airport Express.  I use one of these to play Apple Lossless files through my hifi.  The stereo connector on the Express is capable of both analogue and digital output. To use the analogue output - which is the same from standard stereo equipment like CD Tape players, and iPhone headphone connector, use the standard plug with the appropriate connectors for your amplifier. To use the digital output, you will need to use a toslink cable - AND your amplifier will need to have a digital in port. The toslink will need to have a connector that fits inside the connector on the Express ( it is a bit longer than the usual stereo / headphone jack and allows the laser light inside the Express to shine down the cable to the amp - which may have a slightly different connector and require an attachment to the end of the tosling cable. If your amp does not have a digital connector - my does not - then you could purchase a stand alone DAC that takes the laser light and converts it to analogue output.  These can vary in price substantially but MAY givea  better sound - depending on the quality of the DAC and the quality of the amp. The Express has a built in DAC that is used if you use the standard stereo cable, and by-passed if you use the toslink cable.
    Quality
    The difference in quality will depend on the type of files you are using, your amp and your speakers.
    MP3 files may not sound any different, but Apple Lossless or FLAC files which are much higher quality MAY - or MAY NOT - sound better using toslink cable and the DAC compared to using the analogue output and standard stereo cable from the Express.
    Personally, I use Apple Lossless files from iTunes and the analogue output from the Express into Rega Amp and Royd Speakers and I'm very pleased with the sound.  I have considered using an stand alone DAC but feel the extra expense is not worth it in my case. You could start with the same setup and see how it sounds to you. The quality is difinitely very good and you can add the toslink cable and DAC later. The latest Airport Express may contain an even better DAC than earlier versions so may sound even better.
    If you have an iPhone, you can use Apples Remote app to control iTunes on your Mac, to choose music,change track, change volume etc. This all works over the wifi network. You can also stream music directly from your iPhone - or your friend's iPhone - to the Express over the wifi network.
    I have my MacBook Pro in my office space, 15 metres away in the next room, my Express and stereo in the living room and my iPhone in my hand on the couch and I'm delighted with the flexibility and the sound.
    I have no experience with bluetooth for sound.

  • How to setup a usb printer on the usb port of a network storage drive

    I have searched the forums and dont see any real info on this..
    I have  a usb based officejet 7590 , winxp, and a iomega home media network storage drive
    the printer works fine when I install it on the local usb port of the laptop
    BUT
    its not clear how to connect it ot the usb port of the network drive. 
    DO I have to resinstall it as a network printer?
    DO I have to resinstall device drivers if I already installed it as a usb printer for the local port?
    Can I use the scan/fax functions if I do it right?
    thx!

    OK, I will use it as a bookstand...    
    Since I obviously don't know enough about networks I will stay away from 'professional' products like the Cisco products.
    The user interface and the documentation of these products are clearly made by nerds for nerds...    
    Thanks for your help.

  • On connecting my ipod to the usb port in my car, the ipod menu is inaccessible

    please help me to access the menu.

    Hello shashankj3,
    Have you tried *resetting* your iPod classic with it still connected to the USB port in you car?  To do this, press and hold the *Select* (Center) and *Menu* buttons together until the Apple logo appears.  Don't be afraid to try this more than once if necessary.
    If no luck there, try a different cable as well as contacting the manufacturer of your car to see if there is anything they can suggest as well.

  • Can you connect VIA USB port on Airport Express?

    I have a Airport Express and have the ethernet port used already. Is is possible to use the USB port to hard wire a computer to the Express? I know it meant for a printer but dont need it for that use.

    Sorry, but no. The USB port on the AirPort Express is designed to only support USB printers.

  • Can't synchronize my IPod with the USB-Port of my 27 Inch Cinema Display

    I use a 27" Cinema Display with my Windows PC.
    It is connected via USB and Display Port.
    Synchronizing my IPod at the USB Port of the PC works fine.
    Synchronizing my IPod at each of the three USB Ports of the Cinema Display doesn't work.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks Stephan

    Sorry if there is any missing information. I'll try to put all requested information:
    The car system is the one that is already installed in my car, I mean it is not something bought externally and installed in my car. The car is a ford S-Max. This car has a complete radio system that includes a USB connection for mp3 players. It works ok but not with the iPod. The IOS installed is the last that has been released, but the iPod was not working with this connection before that update.

  • Can you turn power off of the USB ports

    I have a powerbook g4 800 and it has an external fan that is powered by USB. When I put the computer to sleep and have the power adapter not plugged in, the fan still gets power. So I occasionally have the power completely drained after the laptop was in sleep. Usually I remember to shut off the fan, but it's an extra step that seems like it could be solved by setting something somewhere to power down USB on sleep.

    Unfortunately the Mac holds the USB ports in an active state to allow mice and keyboards to wake the machine - I don't know of any way to change this.

  • Can I choose not to broadcast the name of my AirPort Express?

    I would like to know if I can keep the name of my AirPort Express from being broadcast to other computers. On my old Netgear router I could choose to not broadcast the name but, I don't seem to see the option in the AirPort Base Station Utility.
    PowerBook G4 12 SuperDrive   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    A closed network is still broadcasting and still broadcasts the network name.
    A casual user won't be able to see the network from their computer.
    However anyone with easily obtained software will be able to see it just fine from their computer.
    Unfortunately "Closed" networks, MAC access control lists, and reduction in transmission power are all more "feel good" security rather than real security. All these various approaches are dated and mistakenly lead to overconfidence.
    WPA is your friend if you value wireless security.

  • Getting a warning everytime i connect a cable to the usb port saying it is drawing to much power from computer with it being connected to any device

    cannot connect i phone 5 or nano to usb port without warnig message appear say device is drawing to much power without a device connect to the cable

    @Steve359 Wonder if you can help???
    We have a Bretford iPad charging station (10 iPads, 30 Pin) when it's plugged into the iMac it charges and syncs all 10 iPads Just fine. We've since picked up 10 more iPads (lightening). This time we bought a Satechi 12 Port USB Hub with Power Adapter & 2 Control Switches (self powered) with wall current in an effort to save about $970 for another Bretford.
    We have tried daisy chaining the Bretford and the Hub and get the Too much power error, We have tried plugging in 10 iPads with just the hub plugged in, works fine until we plug in the Bretford, then error msg appears. (both hub and charging station plugged directly into the iMac) We tried same setup with 10 on the charging station and with the hub plugged in began adding iPad to the self powered hub and get to 13 or 14 and then we get the error. Both devices are supposed to be self powered, both plugged into the wall power, both plugged into the iMac (not Daisy chained). Both Usb cords to the Bretford and the Satechi hub are in pristine condition. The 10 iPads in the Bretford are 30 pin and the Hub are the new Lightening connections. Lightening cables are the ones supplied new with the iPads.
    iMac running 10.8
    Any idea at all how to make this work??
