Can't get EPSON nx300 to work with airport express

hey yall
i'm running a 3 year old white 13" macbook with 10.5.7 osx installed -~- having trouble getting things to print via my new airport express. my boyfriend has no troubles with his brand new macbook pro - it just worked instantly for him.
my computer is able to recognize the printer in a 'Bonjour' location when i add the printer, but when i go to print, it just opens an empty print queuueueue and nothing happens.
i tried installing the latest EPSON drivers to no avail, so i deleted all of them, which also didn't help.
eep

Welcome to the discussions!
Don't have an exact answer because I can't replicate the problem, but will offer a guess for what it's worth.
You are running Leopard 10.5.7 on your computer and the MacBook Pro might be running 10.6.x Snow Leopard, which may have updated printer drivers for the USB port on the AirPort Express.
Try updating 10.5.7 first by clicking the Apple icon at the upper left of your screen and then clicking Software Update. This may allow you to move to 10.5.8, which did offer a number of printer updates.
Then work your way through the Apple Printer Troubleshooting Guide to see if that might help allow printing to occur.

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.
Use the process outlined here:

We have a Lexmark Pinnacle Pro901 and cannot get the printer to work with airport express - any suggestions?

Can anyone give us suggestions on how to get our Lexmark Pinnacle Pro 901 to work with airport express? We cannot get airport express to recognize the printer.

Refresh all your devices before reconfiguring printer to connect to your computer.
a Shutdown computer
b Pull out printer power cord from the socket. Let it stay for at least 30 seconds then plug it back.
c Powercycle your router (unplug your router for at least 30 then plug it back. This will not change the settings of the router. This will just refresh the device)
d Once router is ready , put back brick at the back of the printer to turn it on
e Wait one minute
f Turn on computer

[SOLVED] Can't get epson Perfection V500 working with xsane/iscan

SOLVED
Cool, solved my own problem. Nothing in the docs about what needs to be done, maybe on the distros that avasys supports this is done automatically by the install scripts. Poking around I found a utility with iscan called iscan-registry. A little googling found that this needs to be used to tell iscan where to find the plugin/firmware for a particular scanner. In the case of my particular scanner you need to run:
iscan-registry -a interpreter usb 0x04b8 0x0130 /usr/lib/iscan/libesint7C /usr/share/iscan/esfw7C.bin
Now working like a champ. Yay now I don't need to install Debian
Did a search of the forums hoping to find something similar to my problem, but I'm not seeing anything. I've gotten a Epson Perfection Photo V500 scanner which the sane website will work if you download the backend and firmware from the avasys site.
I've built iscan using the pkgbuild in AUR, and extracted the firmware from the rpm on the avasys site. sane-find-scanner finds the scanner, but scanimage -L and iscan both fail to detect it.
I'm part of the scanner group, but I don't think this is a permissions issue as even as root, scanimage -L and iscan still cannot find the scanner.
Thought maybe it was a configuration issue, but I've added the vendor and product IDs and a firmware line with the path to the firmware file to /etc/sane.d/epkowa.conf and this didn't help at all. It just made things fail slower. I don't think any tweaks to the config are required though as nothing needs to be done to get this scanner working in debian/ubuntu, just installing the debs is enough, and the configs put in by those don't look too different from the arch ones.
Interestingly enough, vue-scan also requires the firmware/drivers from avasys to work with this scanner and I'm able to scan with it no problem.
At the moment is seems as though my options are installing vue-scan or setting up a PC with debian, which is the one I'm leaning towards at the moment as I'd like to see if Iscan/xsane can do what I need before shelling out for vue-scan. But I'd really like to keep arch but be able to use my scanner.
This is my first time using a scanner on Liunx so it could be I'm missing something obvious. Anyone have any ideas?

Can I have a link to where you found this 'iscan-registry' package? I need it too.
EDIT: Never Mind, forgot to finish installing iscan I only installed the iscan-data.

Can't get Epson NX510 to work with new iMac

I am new to Mac, and I apologize if this is the wrong forum to this question, but...
Apple threw in an NX510 scanner/printer/copy/fax when I bought my new iMac a couple of months ago. Printer/copy functions works great. But I cannot get the scanner function to work.
Can anyone help me figure this out? Thanks in advance.

I have an Retina display MacBook Pro with HMDI out port. I also have an HDMI to Component cable with Audio Plugs. How can I get HDMI out to work with this cable when plugged into the Component and Audio ports on my TV?

Will not work. To my knowledge, dual converting like that isn't supported. The Mac must detect the connected video output device and that sort of info cannot be done across an analog component uni-directional connection.

How can I get my ipod to work with itunes?

When I connect my ipod classic into my new computer it seems that itunes does not recognize it. How can I get my ipod to work with itunes? I'm afraid to disconnect my ipod because the display is saying Do Not Disconnect.

1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

Can't get out.print to work with XML jsp tags

<jsp:scriptlet>
if(ErrorTrap == true) {
out.println("<tr><td colspan=\"center\" align=\"center\">There was" an error while processing the form</td></tr>");
ErrorTrap = false;
</jsp:scriptlet>
I can't get this script to work with the XML stype jsp tags. It keeps telling me the <jsp> tags are untermintaed. Is there a special trick to fix this or do I have to use the non-XML type tags?

Sorry, I didn't mean to put the extra " in the out.println text string. :-/

How can I get elements 11 to work with 16 bits photos?

In the expert mode of Photoshop Elements 11, I can only work with 8 bits photos. How can I get Elements 11 to work with 16 bits photos?

No, you can still buy photoshop cs6 (perpetual license) if one doesn't want to subscribe to the cloud version (photoshop cc version 14)
Either way is expensive compared to photoshop elements.

Not sure if this is the same problem others are having, but I used to play music on my Philips Fidelio by opening the Music app on my ipad and clicking on the box with the triangle (which has now disappeared in the new OS). However, if you have the philips dockstudio app, the box still appears there and I was able to get my speakers working again.
