Can I use multiple printers on the current airport express??

I would like to hook up multiple (3) printers for wireless printing using AirPort Express. Would also entertain AirPort Extreme. The printers are just too far away to make cabling practical and was wondering if the current crop of AirPort devices would support multiple printers through the use of an attached USB hub. The only other thread that seems to discuss this is from 2006. The salesperson at my local AppleStore did not have the info and suggested I come to these forums and ask the community.
I am running a MacBook Pro 17" 233 GHz Core2Duo with MacOSX 10.6.8
The printers I would like to connect are 1 epson Pro7600 wide format, 1 HP DesignJet 1220c and a Brother 1440 laser printer.
Thanks
Phil

Yes....if you use a powered USB hub with its own power supply.
I use a 4 port USB powered hub from Dynex available at Best Buy. Works fine. I am sure that there are many other powered hubs that will work as well.

Can I use multiple iPhones on the same iTunes account? e.g. my wife and I each have iPhones

can I use multiple iPhones on the same iTunes account? e.g. my wife and I each have iPhones

Yes, you can have as many devices - iPhones, iPods, iPads - as you like using the same iTunes account.

I have just bought a 2011 iMac (2.5 ghz, 4gb) and logic express 9, and when i installed logic and tried to run it i had a message saying 'you can't use this version of the application logic express with this version of Mac OS X. How do i sort this out!?

I have just bought a 2011 iMac (2.5 ghz, 4gb) and logic express 9, and when i installed logic and tried to run it i had a message saying 'you can't use this version of the application logic express with this version of Mac OS X. How do i sort this out!? It is very frustrating as the main reason i have bought a mac is to use logic! Any help would be great as i am a complete novice when it comes to Macs!

You're probably on OS X Lion?
I had the same problem as you. I used Software Update to update Logic Express to the latest version, and then it ran without any problems.

Can I use multiple SSIDs on the same intranet in close proximity?

Can Multiple APs running the same or different channels be used with different SSIDs to create seperate wireless networks on the same intranet?
Example: 4 APs running on the same floor of a small building, 2 APs using SSID named ABC using channels 1 &6. The other 2 APs using SSID named XYZ using channels 1 & 6 or even 6 & 11.
Will this scenario work to create two seperate wireless networks on the same intranet or will this cause problems with all wireless traffic?

For you to understand, the channel is a subdivision of the "physical" medium. The SSID is a logical subdivision that is stacked on the physical medium/frequency/channel.
You can run several "logical" networks (based on different SSID) on one single (physical) channel/frequency. Clients of each "logical" network won't see and won't be able to talk (radio level) with the clients of the other "logical network" /SSID. However, if they operate on the same channel/frequency, they will interfere and your throughput will be affected since they nevertheless share the same (physical) frequency.
It's very similar to the difference between IP addresses and MAC addresses. You may have 2 stations in the same "collision domain" (MAC level; Physical network; subject to collision with each other packets) while they can't speak together without a router because on an IP standpoint they are not in the same subnet (logical network).
So, your solution will work, both networks will be independent at a logical level, but when both 'logical networks" share the same frequency ("collision domain(!)") the throughput will be affected subsequently (all stations of both "logical networks" are operating on the same frequency/channel).

Can I use multiple computers with the same iPod?

Hello all, I own a desktop computer, and just recently bought my first laptop. I have iTunes already installed and my iPod synced on the desktop. Now I just installed iTunes on the laptop, and want to sync the iPod on the laptop also, so I can have two computers synced with the same iPod. Can that be done? Any info is greatly appeciated, thank you.

what Niel said is correct.
however, there might be a (semi) workaround. check this thread for pointers: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11524444#11524444.

MacBook can't find network printers or servers via Airport Express

My MacBook won't see my Laserjet 6MP (connected thru JetDirect) using either Appletalk (active on Airport but not on Ethernet) or IP Printing (via LDP). I just updated to 10.4.6 and it still doesn't work. I'm using an Airport Express which is connected to an office ethernet network via Belkin Router.
I do get a good internet connection but interestingly enough, when I try to see the other computers on the network, they don't show up in the "Network" window. However, if I type in their IP addresses in the "connect to server" window, they show up just fine. I get the same results on an iBook G3 (which connects to everything properly when I use a hardwire Ethernet instead of Airport).
Any idea what might be going on?

SUCCESS! I just got off the phone with one of the head printer engineers at Hewlett Packard. The basic problem was that BOTH the Belkin router and the Airport Express were supplying IP addresses via DHCP and they were fighting with each other. Using Airport Admin Utitlity, I turned off "Distribute IP Adresses" in the Network Tab. Basically, this turns the Airport Express into a repeater for the Ethernet router.
Now the MacBook is getting it's IP address from the Ethernet router, as is the printer, and everything is fine. All computerS, wired and wireless, can see each other in the network browser and print to all the printers.

I want to know if Ican connect a print server (to print with several wireless printers) to the new airport express given that it has wan and lan ports. Tks!

The print server that I want to connect allows me to choose among 2 usb printers and 01 serail port printer. It needs to be connected to a router through a lan port. Given that the all new airport express now come with a wan and a lan port, i want to know if I can connect this device to the airport express.

You're welcome.
Beware that while USB print servers are commonly available and inexpensive, finding one with a serial port is more of a challenge. Apple Stores in the US do not sell them. Call the iStore before going there.
If you need recommendations for obtaining a print server with a serial port, let me know.

Can I use Ethernet for Internet connection and Airport express for printer

How / can I use Ethernet for Internet connection and use an airport express to set up wifi for printer and Apple TV?
Macbook Pro. OS X 10.9.4

I've never tried it, so I don't know what the results will be.
However, you can move Ethernet to the top of the Services list in Network System Prefs which will cause it to be the Internet source. There is a command in the gear menu to set the Service order. However, after thinking about it, if there isn't an internet connection via Wi-Fi, it might automatically drop down to the Ethernet connection.
Then, you can set up your Wi-Fi so that it doesn't connect to the Internet, as Linc stated. How to do that would be dependent on the Router.

Can you hook two printers to the airport extreme

Can I hook up multiple printers to any of the airport devices? the middle one has more than one port - one for printer and one for hard drive. Can I put a printer in each port?

Hi - you can connect mutiple USB printers via a USB hub - you can also connect multiple printers to the ethernet ports on an Extreme or Time Capsule - you can do the same with an Express with an ethernet switch - you can also do it wirelessly

About iPad iOS 4.2 beta Airplay can't use multiple speakers?

About iPad airplay can't use multiple speakers?
My iPad use the latest ios4.2 beta1 ,there is 3 airport express in my house.
In iOS 3.2 I can use the App "Remote" to control 3 speakers perfectly,but "Remote" even can install in ios4.2 ,not use smoothly.
After I upgrade iOS to 4.2, I can use Airplay to control each speaker without "Remote",but can't use multiple speakers at the same time. Is anyone like me?
Is there have any other solution can fix this problem?
Thanks!

I completely agree with Tamara, if you are running iOS 4.2, then you should also realize that there are two aveanues for you to get questions answered
1) the developer forums (there is a specific forum area for 4.2 questions, marked in a big red banner across the top saying something about confidentiality.)
2) The bug reporting tool available to developers, noted at the top of the iOS 4.2 forum page. When you go there read the format intructions linked to at the top of the form to ensure you put it in the format that is required for formal developer bug reports.

Label Printing Using Address Book - How can I Print multiple labels of the same name?

Label Printing Using Address Book - How can I Print multiple labels of the same name?

I used to be able to print multiple copies of the same picture on one page using iphoto. There was a customise button when you went through to print and it was there somewhere. I can't see it anymore - maybe since an upgrade.
It's gone. But as a work-around, duplicate your photo (⌘D) to create as many versions as you want copies and select all at once. Then use the "Custom" print layout and set the photo size you want.
After printing, trash the added versions.

Can I use multiple p class="logos" tag with the same name within the same html page?

I was told not to use <div class> tags too many times. I was using them for text, images, to clear floats, I basically built my website using multiple <div class> tags. So if I can't use multiple <div class> tags could I use tags multiple times in the same html page?
I have a string of logos at the bottom of my webpage which will all be using the same css characteristics for all logos. Would this be the proper way to write the code:
HTML
Logo1<a href="...></a>
Logo2<a href="...></a>
Logo3<a href="...></a>
Logo4<a href="...></a>
Logo5<a href="...></a>
Logo6<a href="...></a>
CSS
.logos {
margin-left:10px;
Here's my website: http://www.darbymanufacturing.com/test_website/index.html - this is the website built with all div class tags
I restarted the website in order to write the code properly so that I don't come to errors when uploading on the server like I am having with the website link above.

Instead of writing something like this -
Logo1<a href="...></a>
Logo2<a href="...></a>
Logo3<a href="...></a>
Logo4<a href="...></a>
Logo5<a href="...></a>
Logo6<a href="...></a>
Why not have something like this -
<div id="logodiv">
Logo1<a href="...></a>
Logo2<a href="...></a>
Logo3<a href="...></a>
Logo4<a href="...></a>
Logo5<a href="...></a>
Logo6<a href="...></a>
</div>
with CSS like this -
#logodiv p { ... }
