Can IPhone/IPads use printer hooked up to Airport Express or Extreme?

I can't detect my printer on my mobile devices when selecting the print option. Is it just not possible?

I believe it only works with AirPrint enabled printers.

Can't get my printer to work with Airport Express

I got a new MacBook today, everything is up and running, so is my Airport express with my DSL line, but my printer is not responding to the connection. I plugged in the USB port from the printer to the Airport and the printer and it doesn't work. I restarted things, went to troubleshooting... nothing helped. It's not the printer because if I plug in the printer USB port directly to my MacBook it works. Anyone have any advice? Thank you!

The directiions on your site are for the Printer Setup Utility that was part of OS X 10.3 Panther. There is no optoin for "IP Printing" in the Tiger Printer Setup Utility, so I don't get how everyone was able to follow the intructions successfully. I sure can't. Is it enough to just add the printer normally using the default browser (as a Bonjour printer) and selecting the aformentioned GIMP driver manually? If not, I need help getting instructions that pertain to Tiger IP Printing. Thanks.

Can't forward ports with Cisco EPC3925 and Airport Express and Extreme!

Hello,
I have very big problem, I've been trying for whole day to forward ports for steam and I just can't I tried everything, I have Cisco EPC3925 ( Its main thing I think its router - right ? ) Then I have connected Airport Express to it with ethernet cable ( It's working as DHCP and NAT I have double nat issue in my airport program I don't know what is this ) also Airport Express is set to create a Wi-Fi network, then I have connected Airport Extreme with Wi-fi and set to exceed wi-fi network and can't change anything in it , can't open ports etc. etc. MY COMPUTER is connected to Airport Extreme ( 2nd device ) with cable ! So Im not connecting my computer to internet with wi-fi
Also I've been looking in Airport Express ( the 1st device ) and I saw that there I can open ports , but I opened them and nothing happend ... ports are still closed... Also I've set my computer ip to static , tried everything . And portforward.com site isn't helpfull . Also I tried to set Airport Express ( 1st device ) in bridge mode and nothing happend ( after I set it to bridge mode I can't open ports in airport program )
Please is there anyone that can Help me with this ????
Also I want to say that somehow I dont know how, but I managed to open ports in the past
I need to open all necessary ports because If I can't open them - I can't make a server and people can't join . I really really need help I've spent whole today's saturday to get it to work and this won't work !

Yes, the Cisco EPC3925 is a combination modem and wireless router or gateway device. This is the device that you would need to configure for port forwarding/mapping.
Then I have connected Airport Express to it with ethernet cable ( It's working as DHCP and NAT I have double nat issue in my airport program I don't know what is this )
A "Double NAT" condition is when you have two or more routers in series where they all have NAT enabled. NAT is a service that is intended to allow you to share one Public IP address with multiple Private network clients. This is what allows you to have more than one computer on your local network have the ability to share an Internet access.
Since you have your AirPort Express connected to the Cisco by Ethernet AND the Express is configured to have NAT enabled is why you are getting a Double NAT warning.
Normally you would want all downstream routers to be reconfigured as bridges (NAT & DHCP disabled).
also Airport Express is set to create a Wi-Fi network, then I have connected Airport Extreme with Wi-fi and set to exceed wi-fi network and can't change anything in it , can't open ports etc. etc.
You will need to reconfigure the Express as a bridge. The fact that you have configured the Extreme to extend its wireless range is fine.
Also I've been looking in Airport Express ( the 1st device ) and I saw that there I can open ports , but I opened them and nothing happend ... ports are still closed
You do not want to open ports on the Express. Again, if you reconfigure it as a bridge you won't need to as all of its ports will be opened.
Ok I understand what u said, so I set my airport Express 1st device in bridge mode - if I do that I can surf internet without problems etc. Then when I set it to bridge mode my computer gets adress 192.168.1.X ( My computer gets 13 and I've set it to be static ) so my computer is 192.168.1.13 then -> I open ports for example 2700-27015 ( for steam ) in my router cisco website witch is 192.168.1.1 and in ip adress label I put my computer adress 192.168.1.13 after I do this I reset the router and turn it back on after all this everything should work fine and my ports should be open right?? Well..I've tried it.. after this I can surf internet without problems of course but my ports are still closed ... Im checking them on http://www.canyouseeme.org/ and it says they are closed I've tried with pultiple ports such as 80 .. and it just won't work I don't know why..
Also someone told me to use DMZ on and in ip adress put WAN ip of my airport express ( if its NOT set in bridge mode ) and open ports for my airport ( also I tried to open for my computer too ) - It doesn't work
Please friend tell me you can help me ..

Iphone, IPad and printer not connecting to Airport Extreme

Hello everyone,
I have a problem with my wireless. I have an one year old airport extreme. I can connect to my IMac wirelessly and my macbook pro without any problem, however my iphone, printer and IPad have problem connecting to my wireless network. The only way my iphone and ipad can connect is if I'm next to the airport extreme. If I go to the next room it will disconnect, even thought the signal appear to be find. This is not the first time I have this problem. I corrected the problem by going to the setting and turn off and on the Robustness which I don't know why I no longer have that option on the airport extreme. I have reset, power cycle all device and no luck.

The iPhone includes a b/g compatible wireless card, so "n" alone will not work, and the same when set to "n/a".
I have my Airport Extreme Time Capsule set up via simultaneous dual band so my MBP with an "n" compatible wireless card can connect via "n" with my iPhone connected to the other band via "b/g".
In regards to your MacBook slowing down, is this in regards to transferring data from one computer to another, or is this with your internet connection only?

Hard drive, printer, PS3, etc to Airport Express

Hi guys. I have a few devices that I want to hook up somehow but am not quite sure how to go about it. I have some knowledge but when people provide highly technical responses, I sometimes get lost in it all so please go easy on me. I've already read several threads and I think I've gotten myself completely turned around so I thought I would ask you fine people.
For what it's worth, I have the old style of Airport Express that does NOT have the ethernet output port though that woud help to simplify things a bit if I did.
I currently have an Airport Express, a USB hard drive, a PS3, a macbook and a printer (non-wireless). I'd like to somehow get everything hooked up and playing well with each other. Currently the Macbook and AE work together just fine as does the iPhone. That's great.
The PS3 connects to the AE wirelessly as well but I'd like to find a way to get the PS3 connected to the internet via ethernet cable instead to speed it up a bit though this isn't a life or death sort of situation at all. I'm also not sure if doing so would make it so that my macbook couldn't stream to it wirelessly for movies and such.... ok... I've just answered my own question on that one. Nevermind the PS3 part. Wireless it is.
Now, the trouble that I'm having is logistics about where things have to be in my apartment. I have one cable outlet so the cable modem and airport express have to be in one particular corner. There is not room to put the printer over there too so I can't connect the printer directly to the airport express. I also know that I can't connect the hard drive to the AE directly (as much as I wish that were possible). What is the simplest and most affordable way that I can somehow get the printer AND the hard drive to be available wirelessly on my network while not at all being in the same physical location of my apartment? They'd need to be on the other side of the apartment.
I am ok with the idea of needing to add another device to handle the hard drive and printer (ie another wireless modem) though I don't know what would necessarily work with the existing AE well or what I should be looking for.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Here are some facts to consider:
1) Hard drive
The AirPort Express will not support a hard drive at its USB port. You need an AirPort Extreme for that type of functionality.
2) PS3
As you already know, in order to connect the PS3 using Ethernet, you will need the "new" AirPort Express with both a WAN and LAN port. The PS3 would connect to the LAN <-> port. An AirPort Extreme would work as well for this, as it provides 3 LAN ports.
3) USB Printer
The USB cable of the printer must connect to the USB port on the AirPort Express.
If you cannot locate the printer close enough to the Express to be able to connect to it, you will not be able to use the printer that you have.
In that case, consider a wireless printer to connect to the network wirelessly. Then, you can locate the printer anywhere you want as long as it is in range of the wireless signal.
I have one cable outlet so the cable modem and airport express have to be in one particular corner.
Leave the cable modem where it is. You can run an Ethernet cable any length that you need from the modem to the AirPort, so you can locate the AirPort anywhere the Ethernet cable will go. Cables come in 10 feet, 25 feet, 50 feet etc lengths in any color that you want.
For example, my modem is in the garage. The AirPort is in my office about 60 feet away.
Bottom line.....it sounds like you need an AirPort Extreme to handle the hard drive and the USB printer. You can use one of the 3 LAN ports to connect the PS3, and still have 2 available ports for future expansion.

Expert help needed to connect iPhone / iPad using BlueTooth and Wi-Fi

Hi there.
I connected to my livebox after about three attempts. You have to pair the livebox by pressing either the number one or two that is on the box. When it is in pair mode it stays that way for ten minutes so it gives you chance to try your wep code that is on the bottom of the box a few times. I can't remember which one was successful but i did try the letters in uppercase and lower and one of them seemed to connect.
Welcome to discussions by the way.
Hope this helps JB

Can I share my internet with my Ipad and simultaneously connect to a airport express that I use to remotely connect speakers?

Can I share my internet from my Imac with my Ipad and simultaneously connect to a airport express that I use to remotely to connect speakers?
The big problem that I'm having is that when internet sharing via the airport I can not simultaneously connect with my airport express. It would be great to be able to share internet from my Imac so I can be using my Ipad and at the sametime have my wife use the airport express to stream music in a different room. It would be awesome to be able to have the ability to do both. Does anybody know how?

Can iphone 4 use facetime with other phone?

Hi,can iphone 4 use facetime or video call with sony ericsson satio?do need to install any software?

yes the above said, yahoo messenger came out with the update, which you can do video calling from your iphone 4/ipod touch 4G to a pc/mac. It can be done through wi-fi or 3G
There is another app called Tango which you can do video chat cross-platformed, meaning, you can make video call with another device that isn't an iphone 4, such as an android phone, they should also have tango, once they download the tango, and if their e-mail is saved in your contact, you will then be able to make video calls. can be done in wi-fi or 3G
*if you have unlimited 3G data, then I wouldn't worry, but if you have a data cap, then not recommeneded as it can eat up your data pretty fast.

Can someone help, every time i synch my iphone/ipad the contact list from my outlood express are duplicated ?

Printer hooked up to Airport

I've had this problem ever since I loaded Leopard, but not sure it's related.
I have a Canon MP800 printer hooked up to Airport and never have had a problem, but all of a sudden, I can't print to the printer unless I unhook it from the base station and plug it directly into my laptop.
When I try to print, it tells me to check and see if I have the printer properly plugged in etc and it won't show up in my Printer & Faxes window when I try to add a printer; yet when I plug it in directly to the laptop, no problems finding it or using it. Any suggestions?

problem resolved by resetting settings somehow.

Play music or youtube music! from my iPhone and iPad on my Sonos through Apple AirPort Express?

Can I play music or youtube music! from my iPhone and iPad on my Sonos through Apple AirPort Express.
I believe I can, although it is not totally clear how to do so.
Can I use an old Apple AirPort Express (1st generation) or do only the newer versions of the Apple AirPort Express do the trick ?

Can Airport Extreme be used in client mode like Airport Express?

I have a d-link DSL wireless router (upstairs in my house) and a printer (downstairs). I have an airport extreme, and I want to use it to allow wireless printing downstairs.
Currently I have to keep switching between the two wireless networks (one with internet, one with printer).
Can I just have one network? The Airport Express seems to have something called Client Mode which allows this, but not so on the Airport Extreme...
Any suggestions?

Thanks Duane - that answers my question. A little annoying really as the airport express can do this, and the layout of my house means that running a cable between them is problematic.
Looks like I am stuck with switching networks every time. Damnit.

Can i use my ipod touch with airport express?

I will be staying in a hotel that only offers hard wire internet connection. Can I use my ipod touch with airport express to have have WiFi? I won't have my computer with me.
Thanks!

Yes, you can. However, you will not be able to administer the AirPort from the iPod Touch. Thus you would need to pre-configure the AirPort Express to work at the particular hotel that you will be staying at. Note: Most hotels now offer Wi-Fi in the rooms and the Express may not be necessary.

I can see my Canon MP600 usb connected to Airport Express through Bonjour on my Windows XP. But, when installed by Bonjour, the printor time-out and can't print anything. Any idea what to do?

Thanks for the quick reply.
So am I correct in saying trying to utilise the Airport Express to access the printer over the network was a wasted effort due to the latest iOS? I had read up on the express before purchase and believed that was one of it's main purposes.
Thanks again for the help.

I recently bought an Airport Express and connected it to my TimeWarner modem. Am able to surf the internet using my MacBook Air, iPad, and Apple TV, but the AirPort Express has a blinking amber light. How could I change it to a green light?
