Can't print through wireless hookup. Printer says there is a router/access point channel conflict.

I cannot print. Printer is wirelessly connected to the airport extreme router.
My printer says that the network connection passes all tests but there is a note: "A router/access point channgel conflict has been detected.
The Epson Printer utilitie says only "Communication error". I've tried changing channels to no avail.

I finally figured out how to fix this after a few weeks of being with out my printers.  I tried the reboot of everything and it didn't work.  I went into the airport utility and start poking around.  I tab through all the various setting and everything looked good.  By virtue of tabbing the "update" button was active.  I hit that and the airport extreme router rebooted and bingo the printer works for all my PCs and MACs.  This seem to have started with the last epson update but who knows.  Good luck

  • F110 printing through a separate printer

    Hi Guys,
    How to set up F110 check prints through a different printer other than the local printer. Also does anyone knows how to install drivers in in SAP server so that users can slect different printers. I know its a basis issue. There is no Basis resource available at this time.
    Regards

    Hi Kappy,
    Ok, so I've looked into the matter further, and here is what I've found:
    Firstly, I think I was wrong when I said earlier that the connection to the printer is ipp. Basically, I plugged into the ethernet port for the main office network (bypassing the router), and I could access a web interface for the printer at
    http://printerhostname.local
    This web interface gives an IP address. So I started the Printer Setup Utility and tried to add the printer using the given IP address under 'IP Printer.' When I did this I was able to find the printer (the right model number showed up), and add it to my printer list. However when I tried to send print jobs it didn't work! However, when plugged in directly via ethernet, the printer shows up under 'Bonjour' printers. When I selected this printer, I could send print jobs without any problems. What I take from this is that the printer is not actually setup with IP printing; does that seem like a reasonable conclusion?
    About connecting the router to the ethernet port for the main office network, I'm actually connected directly via an ethernet cable, however I'm plugged into the WAN port (I access the internet through the main office network). Is it important that the connection is through the WAN port and not one of the four LAN ports? Sorry if I was unclear about the whole setup earlier.
    Thanks again - I really appreciate the help,
    nanoo

  • Just started to update my phone to iSo5 when wireless connection was lost on my laptop, I can't get it back and it says there are no networks available-router is working fine, am using it on my iPhone now. Help!

    I just updated itunes and started to update my phone to iSo5 when wireless connection was lost on my laptop, I can't get it back and it says there are no networks available-router is working fine, am using it on my iPhone now. Help!

    Reboot your router. You by chance dont have a netgear N300 WNR2000 router do you? I had one of those and would lose wifi on it constantly, Switched to a Cisco wifi router and it works much better.

  • My windows 7 pc recognizes my hp printer through airport but prints only various letters and symbols

    my windows 7 pc recognizes my hp printer through airport but prints only various letters and symbols

    Located a solution:
    Go to Control Panel - Printers ---  right click the printer and select Printer Properties.
    Select the PORTS tab and disable Bi-Directional Printer Support.    Seems to work whether the printer is installed either via USB or Cat5 to the Airport Extreme network.
    For HP printers, if that first fix doesn't work, download and install the HP Install Network Printer Wizard  - allow it to replace your 'newer' driver, but check hp.com for step by step instructions.
    Third suggested fix is to download a PCL6 driver, or a different model-driver altogether that is more generic than model specific.

    If your computer is running an OS X prior to Snow Leopard 10.6,
    the answer (if it is an Intel-based Mac; not old PowerPC model)
    would be to buy the retail Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD from Apple
    for about $20, and install it. Then update that to 10.6.8 by using
    the installed Snow Leopard online to get Combo Update v1.1 for
    Snow Leopard 10.6.8. After that is installed & updated, run the
    system's Software Update again, to see what else is available to
    that system.
    Later systems can then be looked into at Mac App Store, once
    the computer is running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    And if your computer is a Power PC (G4/G5, etc) and has no
    Core2Duo kind of CPU -- See "About this Mac" in apple menu
    to disclose the general info about your Mac. Also you can see
    even more by clicking on "More Info" when looking in there...
    If it isn't an Intel-based Mac, it can't run a system past 10.5.8.
    Hopefully this helps.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • HT203175 I have no problem signing on to iTunes my issue is once on the site I can not use the "search". It says there is a runtime error R6025 pure virtual function call. Has anyone had this problem and how do I fix it. Thanks

    I do not have a problem getting in the iTunes stores. My issue is once on the site I can not use the "search". It says there is a pure virtual function call R6025. How can I solve this problem? Do I have to create a new account? Do I have to uninstall and re-install? Thanks

    Thanks so much for your feedback. I really appreciate any input here.
    If someone from Adobe could GUARANTEE that this problem would go away if I
    purchased CS4, I would pony up the cash and do it. However, I'm skeptical
    about that because I just saw someone else post a message on the forum today
    who is running CS4 and getting the exact same runtime error as me.
    I'll try un-installing and re-installing as Admin, and if that doesn't work,
    maybe I can find a used copy of CS3.
    In the meantime, I'm also wondering if a Photoshop file can carry any sort
    of corrupt metadata inside it once it has errored out? Reason I ask is, I
    had to port all of my old PSD files to the new computer, and I only seem to
    be getting this error when I attempt to work on one of the files that
    previously got the runtime error when they were sitting on my XP machine.
    When I create new files from scratch on this new computer, they seem to be
    working just fine (at least, for now).
    If so, I would probably be smart to never open those troublesome
    "errored-out" files again.

  • I can't download an app as it says there is insufficient space but when I look on settings there is more than 2GB storage available and the app is only 1

    I can't download an app as it says there is insufficient space but when I look on settings there is more than 2GB storage available and the app is only 1

    An app can need twice the quoted space just during the installation. That could be the problem.  It's easy enough to offload some stuff for the insyallation then sync it back.

    Hey Davidl678,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are unable to download the purchases from your purchase history, because iTunes believes the songs to be in your library. It may be necessary to delete the items from your library, then re-download from your purchase history. Before doing so, you may want to take note of which song are available for re-download:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Delete songs, playlists, or other items
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12359
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store

    Thanks,

  • I used Finder to organise my iMovie events into folders. In iMovie I can see the folders but the software says there are no events present. What can i do?

    I used Finder to organise my iMovie events into folders. In iMovie I can see the folders but the software says there are no events in the folders. What can I do to rectify?

    Very carefully use Finder to move the Events back to the top level of the Movies/iMovie Events folder. iMovie will not see them if they are nested in Folders.
    If they are on an external drive, move them to the iMovie Events folder at the top level of the drive.
    However, you can put iMovie projects in folders if you want.
    It is best to do all moves and renames in iMovie so you do not destroy the links in your Projects. However, you need to move your events back to where they were in the Finder sonce iMovie cannot see them.

  • Connecting printer through wireless Print Server

    Wireless Dlink DPR-1260, hooked up to network. ( using Linksys wireless router and Windows XP Home)
    Two usb printer ports. Loaded HP laserjet 2300 series using the print server software wizard.. works fine...prints remotely.
    The P.S. created the tcp/ip ports and loaded the drivers after requesting the HP driver disk.
    But, when loading the HP color laserJet 2550 series, it asks for the disk, but says the driver inf files not available. I downloaded from the HP web site the XP drivers, and when I pointed to the unzipped files, said the same thing.
    I used the XP driver... should I have used the Universal Print Driver?
    On the P.S. screen the HP 2300 shows up as HP LaserJet 2300 series, and the LPR Queque name is : LaserJet 2300
    But when I manually loaded the 2550, The name shows up as HP color LaserJet 2550 ser and the Queque name is color LaserJet 25.
    Both printers work fine connected directly to the printer, but the 2550 will not print through the P.S.
    Since the drivers for the 2550 are loaded and it prints when hard wired, tell me how to find the drivers installed on the computer, so I can point to them there.
    Thanks

    Printing with the built-in network protocols (Windows Printing, IP printing) requires a CUPS print driver. HP doesn't provide CUPS drivers (yet) - their drivers are written to only use USB. You can try the HP Photosmart P1100 Gimp-Print driver included in OS X.
    There is no CUPS driver for your specific model, that I can find.

  • HP Photosmart Plus B209a is no longer printing through wireless connection.  Appreciate any suggestions...

    Hello.  My HP Photosmart Plus B209a all in one printer stopped working through wireless connection yesterday.  I have tried to delete the printer and reinstall using HP Setup Assistant, but when I attempt to configure the device for a wireless network, the HP Setup Assistant quits unexpectedly. I can succesfully set up the printer, but only for use with a USB cable.  I noticed that there was an HP printer software update installed yesterday version 2.16.1. Could this have anything to do with it?  I read something about airprint in the support discussions but I dont see the nearby printer option anywhere?  I checked the list of compatible printers and mine is on there so I am not sure what I am missing here.  I would hate to go out and buy a new printer.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.

    I have the same printer but my problem stems from installing a new router. I went through the exact same steps that you did and the HP Installer crashed on me 5 different times at the exact same spot. I called HP and got through to them and after 15 minutes he informed me that this particulart printer is no longer "supported" and software is not available. I told him that I downloaded the update that was available today. He was no help whatsoever. I also can print via USB but that is not at all what I want. The downside of this printer anyways is that it is not Airprint compatible. So, its either reinstall the old router or buy a new printer. This *****!

  • HP Photosmart Plus e-All-in-One Printer B210e Does Not Print Through Wireless

    I am using Mac OS X 10.7.3 on a wireless connection. I went to print, HP Utility gave me the following error message:
    The printer may not exist or is unavailable at this time
    It was not being used by anything else at the time. Then 2-3 minutes after I got that first error message HP Utility gave me another error message:
    The printer is not responding
    Then on the printer touch screen display I touched the wireless icon, chose Run Wireless Network Test, and got an error message:
    Load paper into Main Tray.
    The tray had plain white paper (10-15 sheets) in a nice neat stack as far back as it would go. I took the stack just to be sure it was still in a neat stack and put it in as far as it would go and pressed OK on the touch screen display and I still got the same message. Then I decide to turn the printer off using the power button, waited about a minute, and then pressed the power button to turn it on. When I did I got another error message:
    Improper Shutdown
    To avoid damage, use On button to shut down. Do not unplug the power cord or turn off the power outlet to shut down the device.
    How is that an improper shutdown when I did use the power button to turn it off.  Why is it telling me that I need to use the power button to turn it off then back on when I did use the power button to do that.  What is the issue and how do I fix it.  I did not have this issue with Mac OS X 10.7.2, but I do now agter the 10.7.3 update.  As of right now the only way I can print from Mac OS X is using a USB connection.  I can print through a wireless connection using my Windows 7 partition on the same MacBook.  I am starting to think that this printer is not Mac OS X 10.7 Lion compatible.
    I have a Time Capsule (3rd Generation) with the current firmware for it and the current the current AirPort Utility for Mac OS X installed.

    I don't know how to remove and add printers unless I had to format my hard drive for a completely different reason and reinstalled the printer that way.
    To remove the printer, open System Preferences > Print & Scan. You will see the HP in the Printers list. Click on it once to select it and then press the minus button under the Printers list to remove it.
    With this done, click the plus button under the Printers list to add the printer. With the Add Printer window open and the Default view selected, the HP should appear in this view. Select it and the Print Using menu should change to the supporting printer driver. When this happens, click the Add button to complete the creation of the printer queue.

    You cannot believe everything you read. For every person that had a problem after installing the .3 update, a hundred more had no problem.
    But if you wanted to go back to 10.7.2, then you can use Time Machine to do this. If you are not using Time Machine then you need to start doing so. At least the update only stopped you from network printing. What if it had stopped you from using the Mac?
