Can't print to HP 1410v connected to Airport Express

I'm having trouble printing to an HP 1410v connected to an Airport Express.
I've updated the Airport Express firmware.
I've updated OS X 10.5.7 with all the latest patches.
I've downloaded drivers from HP and Apple.
When I attempt to add the printer, my system sees the HP PSC 1410v printer as a Bonjour printer.
When I attempt to choose a driver, the wizard fails to locate a specific driver, and when I attempt
to choose a driver, none of the available drivers appears to be the exact fit I'm looking for.
I usually choose the generic HP PSC print driver, Gutenprint 5.1.3.
When I open up the print queue and try to print a test page, the log shows that the job is completed, yet nothing happens on the printer. Here's a dump of the console log from adding and attempting to print:

How do I get this to work. I've seen similar behavior on my old Powerbook running Tiger as well.
Thanks.

Were these the instructions you followed:

You could also try the Bonjour method (less manual configuration that the method above). Follow the links at the bottom of this page:

  • 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.

  • After upgrading to OS 10.8.1 I can no longer scan from my Canon MP240 printer when it is connected to Airport Express.

    I can no longer scan from printer (Canon Pixma MP240) when it is connected to Airport Express, although printing is no affected. However, when connected directly to MBP scanning works fine. I have tried all the standard remedies; reinstalling drivers, resetting printer system, selecting sharing options, but no luck. Previous to Mountain Lion this function worked fine. Any ideas how to regain this capability?
    Thanks,
    J.

    I'm almost completely certain that the scanning feature worked before the update. Having said that though, I don't scan a great deal and it may be the case that when I have done, the printer was directly connected to the MBP. However, since I have a laptop it's far more logical that I would have had the printer connected to Airport Express for reasons of portability so I can't really see that I would have had the printer connected directly to the laptop. Besides this, I have no memory of having this problem previously. Therefore, I don't think my memory is to blame although of course, if it were I'd have no way of knowing!

  • 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 I share a USB drive connected to Airport Express

    I know that you can with the Extreme Base Station. Just curious if a drive connected to the
    Express would show up as a shared network drive

    no.
    airport express does not support connecting external drives to it. essentially, it's printers only.

  • Can you print from an iPad through the airport express

    can you print from an iPad 2 through the airport express

    You can, if your printer is AirPrint compatible.
    Check this Apple support document to see if your printer appears:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
    If your printer is not compatible, you might still be able to print by adding an App like Print Central to the iPad.

  • How can I print from my IPAD3 to a printer connected to Airport Express?

    How can I print from my IPAD3 to a printer connected to Airport Express? I have a HP printer and I can print from all my Windows PC and iMAC in the house. How can I print from my IPaD?

    You cannot.
    The USB port on the AirPort Express allow sharing a printer with Windows and Mac OS X, not with iOS:
    "Wireless printing over USB requires a compatible printer and OS X v10.2.7 or later, Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7":
    http://www.apple.com/airportexpress/#wireless-printing
    "AirPrint-enabled printers  connected using Bluetooth or shared through a USB port of a Mac, PC, AirPort Base Station, or Time Capsule are not supported":
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    The HP ePrint app also does not provide such functionality:
    Can I print from the HP ePrint mobile app using USB or Bluetooth?
    No. You can only print directly to supported HP printers on a local wireless network.

  • I can print from my macbook pro using airport express usb connected printer, however my iPad is looking for an airprint printer.  Can I direct the iPad to the usb connected printer.  Both macbook and iPad confirm a wifi connection through the airport exp.

    You will need to install an App like Print Central on the iPad to try to print to the printer. It will allow you to print to most printers. Check with their support folks if you need more info.

  • HP Laserjet 1020 connected to Airport Express - Can't Print from Windows XP

    Hi,
    I have been using Airport Express for almost a year now, and it works fine with my old LaserJet 1200 connected to it, meaning that BOTH my ThinkPad(WinXP) and PowerBook(OSX 10.3) prints off the printer nicely. Last week I bought a LaserJet 1020 to replace the old printer. Now I can only print off my Mac, and not the ThinkPad.
    Here are some additional information:
    - Airport Express has been updated with latest updates.
    - Using newest printer driver available from the HP website.
    - New printer works when connected to ThinkPad via USB.
    - New printer works when connected to Airport Express and printing performed using my PowerBook.
    Therefore, My conclusion is that Airport Express and Printer is working just fine, and that it's just my ThinkPad not being configured correctly. (Although at the back of my head I am guessing that just MAYBE it's the Airport Express not accepting a different printer)
    This is what I did to install the printer from my ThinkPad to work with Airport Express (which is not working):
    1. Add a printer
    2. Local printer attached to computer (no auto detect)
    3. Selected existing TCP/IP port 10.0.1.1
    4. Selected my new printer driver
    5. Finish
    I also tried a few things like:
    - Deleting the TCP/IP port and creating it again before installing the new printer again.
    - Off both airport express and printer and on again after about 10sec.Airport was on first, and after the LED turn green, printer was turned on and USB plugged into airport.
    - Restarting my ThinkPad.
    I have tried everything that I can think of, and nothing worked... hence this posting to get professional help.

    Hi,
    You might want to download and install bonjour for windows to your Thinkpad it is how I got my roomates XP laptop to print on AX.

  • How to get windows 7 pc to access a printer connected to airport express

    Hi,
    I have connected an airport express to my BT home hub and created a new Wi-Fi network. I have also connected a Canon MP550 series printer to the express which I can access to print from my macboon pro. However I am unable to print from my Windows 7 SP1 laptop even if I connect using the same Wi-Fi network. Have used Bonjour and it installs the printer but still cannot print from my Win7 laptop. Any suggestions why is it happening?
    Thank you.

  • My printer is not working properly now it is connected to Airport Express!!

    I have purchased an Airport Express wireless router, which enables me to also make my Dell AIO A920 printer wireless also, so my wife and daughter can use the same printer from different rooms. They both use Dell laptops using Windows XP Home Edition.
    The problem is that the printer physically prints out the first document/photo fine, but it does not complete in the printer software, the job stays at 99% in the printer progress bar. If I try to print something else out, the new print job just won't start. The next print job stays at pending status, probably because the first job does not 'officially' complete on the system, even though the actual print was sucessful. If I try to cancel the first print job to get rid of it, it just says the job is deleting in the print queue box, it never actually deletes though. I have to cancel the job and then restart the computer. This problem was not occuring when the printer was connected to the computer via the USB lead.
    The only clue I have to what is not working is that if I have printed something and I have to restart the computer to print something else, after i click restart, I get a pop up message telling me a program won't close or is not responding (I can't remember which), it calls the program PSWX - Dell A920. Dell A920 is what my printer is called on my network.
    Please help!!

    Unfortunately this probably means that the Dell printer driver can't cope with been put on an Airport Express.
    This is usually down to the small print buffer on the printer.
    There is no solution.

  • Can I create a home network withous dsl connection with airport express

    can I create a home network without dsl connection with airport express?
    So it means I can't connect to my HP Airprint/Wireless printer without exretnal connection through ISP?? Just need to print from my Mac and iphone. I have Vodafone Prepaid connection, which is directly connected to my Mac. Does that make an internal network possible?

    You have to set up the Air Port with an internet connection to set up a network. Do you have a modem? If yes you can set up the network. 

  • Printer connected to Airport Express not responding

    I know I've done something wrong, but can't work out what it is. I went overseas for 2 weeks so turned off my computer, printer, Airport Express - at the wall. When I came back I turned everything back on but now my printer does not respond when I send it printing jobs. It has worked flawlessly in the past but I can't for the life of me, work out why it won't work now. I'm using a Brother Mono Laser printer Model HL-1450 - I even downloaded the latest driver from the Brother website but that makes no difference. If I connect my printer directly to my iMac - it works like a charm. However, when connected via USB to the Airport Express nothing happens. I checked out the Mac help 'connecting a USB printer to AirPort base station but it says '5. In the Printer pop-up Menu, choose Bonjour and then choose your printer'. Bonjour doesn't show up, my Printer does, but nothing happens. The printer dialog box just shows the job spooling and it never gets past about 3 or 5%.
    Any help gratefully received before I tear out all my hair.
    Cheers

  • Why would you need to connect an AirPort Express to a printer to print wirelessly when you could just use AirPrint?

    What is the point of connecting an AirPort Express to a printer when you could just use AirPrint from an iPhone?

    All you guys are mistaking the Airprint system. Wireless printing is a Misnomer. Nothing prints wirelessly. Both the printer and the computer, or i or android device have to be all connected to the same LAN. They can be connected by a wire or a WiFi signal but they all must be on the same LAN.
    Airprint is a Driverless printing system where No Specific Printer drivers have to be installed on the computer or other device. Even with the Airprint system both the printer and the device you are printing from have to be on the same LAN.
