Can't print with PC but can print with Mac!?

Please save me from going crazy!
I'm trying to turn my USB printer into wireless and have tried EVERYTHING and put in HOURS of work with all different types of print servers, devices, etc.
I bought an Airport Express and loaded Bonjour into my Windows 8 machine. It detects my printer, connects to my Express but simply doesn't print! I've tried EVERYTHING with editing my ports, changing it to LPR instead of RAW, etc. but with no sucess. When I connected my MacBook to my Express, IT PRINTS with no problems!!!
I can't for the life of me figure it out and my Windows machine needs to be able to print as I'm using it for work.
Any suggestions, tips, clues as to what I'm doing wrong? Apple Care and bringing it into a store gets me nowhere. Please help! I will pay someone $50 dollars via PayPal as your reward for helping me figure this mind boggling problem out!
Thank you!!!
Gregory

USB printers are a pain.. it might not work at all from windows.. that is just the reality.
USB printers are local printers that plug into your computer.. save your $50.. and the cost of the next couple of sets of ink cartridges or toners and go and buy a network printer. ie one that is designed to work in a network.
If you want to pursue this..
1. How did you name the Express.. and its wireless?
Names should all be short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
2. What printer is it? If you plug it in via USB to the computer does it work?
3. Once you have it working plugged into the computer change it to print to IP of the airport express and see if that works.
You can do this without bonjour..
See this video for example of setting up printing to Extreme (same thing) by printing directly to the TCP/IP port.

It is windows 7 but 8 should be much harder .. naturally MS took away the easy access to everything .. but it is still there for the most part.

    Why can I not print from pages but can if I copy to text edit, I get "printer off line message " from pages ?  I use HP wireless printer .

    Are you sure you have the right printer?
    In UNIX/OSX printers are virtual links to devices and even with the same name can be trying to reach a printer via another network address, so it thinks it is another printer.

    In the printer driver (accessed through the Page Setup button) set the Advanced tab to borderless. Then in the right hand panel under Layout set all the margins to zero.

    I can't text a contact but can voice phone them. I don't have the problem with any other contact and the contact is not blocked. I have an iphone5.0 OS 8.1.3. I used to be able to text them with no problem. The only difference I can think is that this problem may have started since I downloaded the OS I am using now

    thank you

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    i assume the email account is your iCloud email account. have you tried turning off settings > iCloud > mail, restarting the phone and then re-enabling mail again.

  • HT201320 I am having trouble with my wife's new iPhone 5s. She can receive her telus email but can not send any email what did I do wrong in setting up her account?

    I am having trouble with my wife's new iPhone 5s. She can receive her telus email but can not send any email what did I do wrong in setting up her account on her iPhone? I tried to just copy the info from her old iPhone.

    The sending of email is accomplished via the SMTP server. Take a moment to get back into Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars and select the account. Go to the SMTP server and check to make sure that username and password are entered in all of the appropriate places. If you cannot get it to work after trying to just change those settings, remove the account from the phone and recreate it. When recreating, make sure you enter the username and password in every location, even if the phone says optional. Make sure you have the settings from either the email provider or from the other device. Make sure that SSL is on or off as necessary.

    Hi Vidya,
    Thanks for posting your example. You may want to remove your workspace details from the previous posting, or at least update the password on the workspace. I've taken a look at your example and initially couldn't see anything wrong with your tree query. However, when I ran your query in SQL Workshop, it only returned one row, which would explain why you were only seeing one node in your tree! I've updated your query to use a WITH clause, and the tree is now working correctly. I believe you've hit an underlying database bug where the CONNECT BY query is only returning 1 row, when in fact it should return > 1 row. By re-writing the query to use a WITH clause, you can get around the problem.
    Regards,
    Hilary

  • Printer Share says that my printing is complete, but nothing printed.

    I am trying to print from an Android Razr to my 8600 Officejet using PrinterShare.  The phone says the printing is completed, but nothing printed.  I am also having a problem getting my phone Wi-Fi to communicate with my printer.

    Hi there, if you are having trouble getting your phone and printer to communicate that may explain why nothing is coming out of the prettier. I'm not familiar enough with the service you are using (Printer Share) but what might be happening is that your job request is being received but is not able to be delivered to the printer for completion.
    Can you print wirelessly to your printer from another device e.g. a laptop? Does the printer lose connection to your wireless network intermittently? The more information you can provide the more likely you are to get a solution from the Forum users. Your printer is ePrint enabled and you should be able to print to it from your Android device using HP's free ePrint Home & Biz Mobile Print app. You could try installing that on your phone and see if that solution works for you. Provided you register the phone t the ePrint service once you've installed the app you'll be able to send content to the printers email address fro printing from anywhere in the world provided the printer and the phone are connected to the internet, but not necessarily connected with each other on the same WiFi network.
    Try and rule out any fundamental problems with your printers wireless connectivity and take it from there. Post back if you're running into problems and need suggestions.
    Best of luck.
