Can't print through Airport Extreme.

New MacBook pro. prints thru USB. Set up and shows up fine. Queue says "printing-printer connected". It just hangs up and never prints. no printer in airport utility menu.

Thanks for the clarification.
I suggest that you work your way through Apple's Printer Troubleshooting Guide.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1253
Sometimes, the last step......reset printing system.....will work miracles when nothing else seems to work. Finally, there are some printers that just won't work with the AirPorts due to firmware and operating system changes in new products. You will know soon.
Good luck.

My iMac (OS 10.7.4) has suddenly stopped printing to my Epson CX4800 printer through Airport Extreme, although it will print if connected via USB. Meanwhile, my MacBook (OS 10.5.8) prints still prints wirelessly. Please help.

May iMac (OS 10.7.4) has suddenly stopped printing to my Epson CX4800 printer through Airport Extreme, though my MacBook (OS 10.5.8) continues to function just fine). The iMac will print if it is connected to the printer directly via USB. The iMac continues to connect to the Internet wirelessly. I've tried resetting the printer and ensuring the driver is up to date, but no joy.
Any suggestions?

Can't print with Airport Extreme

I am having trouble printing with Airport Extreme.
My printer is connected to the AE but every time I try to print I get a printer offline message.
I have tried in the past to print wirelessly but have given up.
I just bought a new MacBook Pro so I thought I would give it another go.
Thank you.

Not very much to go on here but I'll give it a stab.
Go to the Airport Utility program located in Applications/Utilities folder.
Run this and select "manual setup" for your AE displayed on the left.
Hit the Printers icon on the top. Your shared printer should be displayed here. If it's not, then ensure it's powered on, good usb connection etc.
After this shows a usb printer connected then go to System Preferences>Print & Fax. You'll see printers you have setup before on the left. A green icon usually means they are available. If print doesn't work to the desired printer the best thing to do is remove the previous definitions by highlighting the printer and hitting the "-" icon.
Now hit the "+" sign and define the shared printer. It should be listed in the resulting "add Printer" dialog. Highlight, change any naming info and click "add".
Printer should now be available. I'm assuming a supported printer that have the device drivers loaded on your system.
That's all I got.

Can't print with Airport Extreme and Canon MP610

Can anyone suggest a way around this?
I am unable to print using my new Canon MP610 multifunction printer when connected via my Airport Extreme, but I can print when connecting the printer to my computer directly, not using the Airport Extreme. After several hours of frustration, updating drivers and firmware, etc, I contacted Canon and received an email back stating:
"MP610 is not supported by
Canon with a wireless connection through an Apple Airport. This does
not necessarily mean that it will not work, but we are not able to
provide configuration and troubleshooting information."
Last summer, my daughter was able to use the same Extreme to print wirelessly using her Mac Book Pro and her Canon MP600 multifunction printer (note - different printer model).
Sounds like Canon isn't saying it won't work, but they cant' help.
If anyone can offer a suggestion to work around this, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,
Doug

The most comprehensive set of troubleshooting instructions for printing problems involving Airport printers is found at:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107418
It is possible your printer simply cannot be made to work in this manner, and is more often than not a problem with multifunction printers.

Printing through Airport Extreme limited to less than one page.

I have my MacBook Pro, and my wife's MacBook (dual-core), connected wirelessly to my Airport Extreme (802.11n). I have my printer (Canon MP-800 Multifunction) connected to my Airport. When I try to print I can only get about 3/4 of one page to print, no matter how many pages the file really is. Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?

Try the following on your Mac.....
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click Manual Setup
Click the Internet icon
Click the Internet Connection tab
Change the setting for Connection Sharing to read Share a public IP address

How to print from IPad1 to printer through Airport Extreme

I connected my Cannon to the Airport Extreme USB port. I can print from my HP, but not from my IPad1.
Can I do it?

No. That configuration is not supported on iPads. You need an AirPrint enabled printer.

Can I Print Through Airport Express With A Lexmark x5150?

Am I able to print through A.E. with my Lexmark X5150 All-in-one? I'm having issues. It's recognized by my laptop, but won't print through A.E. It does, however, print when the USB is plugged into my lBook directly. I think I have the latest drivers installed. Can anyone offer up any suggestions/help? Thanks in advance......

The Lexmark X5150 is not on the list of supported printers found at http://www.efelix.co.uk/tech/1013.html . Based on your findings, I suspect this printer just won't work with anything but a direct connection to your Mac's USB port.
Not many all-in-one printers are supported for connection via an Airport Express. For those few models that do work, only printing is possible - other functions like scanning won't work. For some all-in-ones, an alternative driver can be found that will at least support printing - but I cannot find any alternative driver that will work with the x5150.

Can't print using Airport Extreme with a DELL P1500 printer

I connected my Dell P1500 printer to the USB port of the Airport Extreme. I can see the printer under USB printers in Airport Utility, but cannot print.
Note: I can print when I am connected directly to my MacBook Pro.
Please help.

You will need to use the AirPort Utility to both verify that the AEBSn "recognizes" the USB drive and to enable File Sharing. Once those two steps have been completed, you can then try to access it from your Vista PC.
Note: The AEBSn will not "recognize" a drive formatted in NTFS connected to its USB port. It would have to be formatted in either FAT32 or HFS+.

2008 Macbook Pro wont print through Airport Extreme

Hi,
We recently got an airport extreme and have our printer (Epson Stylus NX400) plugged into the USB port. My computer (2009 MacBook Pro running 10.6.8) will print wirelessly fine but hers (early 2008 MacBook Pro running 10.5.8) will not. Plugged in it will print just fine but it is a hastle to unplug the printer from the airport and plug it into her computer any time she wants to print. When she tries to print wirelessly, the print command goes through but then doesn't show up on the print que. The only difference I see between our computers when we print is hers pulls up some information from Epson regarding ink levels when plugged into the printer. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Harrison

Have you guys tried updating to 10.4.6
I believe they addressed some airport issues in the update.
Also you could download the firmware update
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macbookproearly2006firmwareupdate10.html
But I believe that just updates your firmware to work with boot camp and doesn't really do anything else.

Switched from DSL to cable, can't connect through Airport Extreme.

Network help required!! I switched from my spotty, poor DSL hookup this afternoon, to a new faster cable hookup. I have 5 devices to attach through an airport extreme. All 5, ( 2 iMacs 1 iPhone 1 iPad all wireless 1 XBox wired ) on dsl, hooked up this morning, now on cable, only 1 at a time. And only after restarting the cable modem. The only part of my network that changed is the isp...thoughts?
I have the cable to the modem, ethernet to AE, wireless signal to iDevices, ethernet to XBox.

What are the setting for a p1102w printer does Airport Extreme have to have so the printer can find it?

I recently bought an Airport Extreme and a HP P1102W printer. The printer can not find the Airport Extreme network, even after turning off the network security. Is there a setting that needs to change so the printer will see the network? I am using a MacBook Pro.

I only have an iPad. I consulted HP Product Support and they told me to activate WPS on my E1200 router. The printer then connected to the router and obtained an IPv4 address. But it changed the netwrok name and disconnected my iPad. Initially my network had a default name Ciscoxxxxx but now it created a new network Cisco_WPS_nnnn. I tried to join this network but it was asking me for a 8-character password that I don't know. Linksys support asked me to upgrade to EA4500 router. But since i have Apple TV, iPad and iPhone, I thought I would buy an Apple router instead. But before I jump in this direction, I want to make sure that it will work for me. I know I can return this product but I don't want to turn this into a major project. Thanks.

Can i plug printer into airport extreme while it is on

Can I plug a usb printer into airport extreme while it is on?

I cannot find airport in finder, don't know how to turn it off.
You will have to pull the power plug from the back of the AirPort Extreme to power it down. Wait a few seconds, then plug the cord back in.
Or, you can pulll the plug where the power supply plugs into the wall socket if that is easier.

Can I link 2 airport extremes together by using ethernet, through an ethernet switch?

can I link 2 airport extremes together by using ethernet, through an ethernet switch?

This will depend on the type of switch that you are asking about.
An "unmanaged" Gigabit Ethernet switch will pass through everything with no configuration needed.
A "managed" switch will require programming that defines the performance of each port on the switch.
