Can't seem to print via Airport Express & Xerox Printer

For some reason I cannot make this happen. I have an Airport Express plugged in. The USB cable is linked between my Xerox 6280n and the Express.
What now?
I hit print, then click the Xerox under nearby printers, it says there is new software from Apple, so I click "download and install" then it says the software is "currently unavailable". I can print directly from the computer no problem, I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
I download the firmware update from Xerox and it asks me to "set the IP address for printer"
I printed out the test copy and it listed the IP as 0.0.0.0 that has to be wrong, I have no idea at this point.

Welcome to the discussion area!
Sometimes repeated resets will temporarily lock up the AirPort Express (AX). Try powering it off for 30-45 minutes or so. Then hold in the reset button +and keep holding it in+ as you plug the AX back in to power. Release the reset button after 8-10 seconds. This is known as a Factory Default Reset.
Try connecting the ethernet cable again between your computer and the AX to help AirPort Utility "see" the AX so that you can reconfigure it.
If you try the Factory Default Reset a few more times and AirPort Utility still cannot "see" the AX, I'm afraid that this is an indication that something has failed within the AX and it will need to be replaced.

  • Can't seem to make my Airport Express function

    I have a rather old Airport Express that I normally use to stream music. Every now and then I have to reset it but it works quite well. I brought it with me on a trip to South America but I can't get it to work.
    The AX flashes Amber, Airport Utility doesn't detect a wireless device. Someone suggested connecting an ethernet cable from the computer to the device but that didn't help.
    I reset it by holding the reset button ten seconds, no help; I reset it holding the reset button and plugging it in and releasing the button after 10 seconds - nothing.
    I connect to the Internet using a cable modem. The ISP won't let you connect more than one computer. I have to disconect the modem before reconnecting another computer. Could that be my problem?
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you

  • Can we print with a non-wifi printer via Airport Express?

  • Can't find certain servers connecting via Airport Express

    For the last couple of weeks I've been intermittantly unable to access certain websites (time.com / nytimes.com) when connected to the Net via Airport Express. Sometimes these pages come up, more often then not, they don't. I have no problem receiving email or accessing other sites. Also, I always loose my connection when streaming news stories from NPR. However, I have no such problem when connected directly via ethernet. Thus, it seems to be some glitch with airport express. Does this make sense to anyone?

    I have 3 printers connected to the network via Ethernet and as long as I'm connected directly to the network I can print but as soon as I connect to one of the 4 Airport Express units I have I can no longer print.
    You don't describe what happens when you try to print.
    Does the IP address your computer is granted in both configurations match in the first three elements (such as 10.0.1.5 and 10.0.1.7)? If not, then your AirPort Express unit is creating a new "subnet", which can cause problems when your computer tries to communicate with the printer.
    Try adding the printer in the "Print & Fax" panel of System Preferences by choosing the "IP" option and entering the IP address of the printer.

  • Trouble printing to Epson Workforce 435 via airport express network

    We have an Epson Workforce 435 printer that connects wirelessly to our home network via Airport Express.  After we switched to AT&T, we could no longer print from our Windows 7 PC connected to the network via Airport as well.  Our Macbook air works just fine.  The printer's network status sheet says it is connected, but it's like our computer can't find it on the network.  Can't ping the printer's IP address either. 

    Okay, I have checked the settings on the AX - it is set up to be 802.11b/g compatible, so that doesn't appear to be the problem.
    I had a friend come over with her macbook - she was able to detect the wireless network, but wasn't able to connect to it, even when I gave her the password. Does this help diagnose the problem?
    Here is additional information about how the AX is currently configured:
    In the Airport tab in AirPort Utility:
    Wireless Mode: Create a wireless network
    Radio Mode: 802.11b (802.11b/g compatible)
    Channel: 1
    Wireless security: WEP
    MAC Address Access Control: Not Enabled
    In the Internet tab in Airport Utility:
    Connect using: Ethernet
    Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
    Ethernet WAN port: Automatic
    Connection sharing: Off (Bridge mode)
    I have tried turning wireless security off, but that didn't help the problem. I have also tried turning MAC Address Access Control to Timed Access, inputted the MAC address of the printer, and gave it permission to access the network all day, everyday, but this didn't work either. I have looked at changing the connection sharing settings, but I don't really understand what I'm doing here, so I am reluctant to mess with things much. This seems like the most promising potential solution?
    Thanks!

  • HP printer not printing via Airport Express

    I have a HP DeskJet D2330 printer that I am trying to use via Airport Express. The issue is that while the printer is detected in the Airport Utility, and is detected in System Preferences as a Bonjour printer, I can't print to it. Documents sent to the printer appear in the queue and then disappear but no pages come out of the printer.

    Hi - similar problem. Mine talked a little (test page would print about ~1 inch then grind to halt). No luck with escalated apple network tech. Problem (apple sez) is with HP. HP is quiet but has list of printers "likely" to work with Airport Extreme , but dated (indicates rendezvous with extreme vice bonjour). FYI, my printer works fine when USB direct to mac. Also Works fine from Mac or PC as ethernet-connected printer on home network (with Linksys/N Giga router) as network printer (also sets up as "bonjour" printer for what that is worth). Also problem exists with imac connected to Airport extreme via wireless or wired. So...problem seems to be pretty specific to talking via airport extreme USB. Havent tried to use ethernet yet, but need the slot for other equip.
    Anyone else having any luck?
    Also anyone have proven good printer hookup? I need photo quality printer.

  • HT3669 Failed printer setup, bonjour via airport express on 10.8.3, unable to download drivers?

    Trying to install a Samsung SCX-4500 printer over bonjour via airport express. My Mountain Lion machine sees the printer and I've manually installed the latest Samsung drivers, it says it can't find the software on Apple's servers. I just downloaded the latest drivers from Samsung directly, it did not resolve the problem.
    I am unable to select printer drivers manually for the 4500; even if I manually select the 4500W drivers it still attempts to download software (unsuccessfully). It works perfectly on 2 Lion machines and a PC, unsure what the deal is.
    I'm having trouble even getting the post message' button to work now, it isn't my day...

  • Trying to add HP Photosmart C4280 via airport express. "Add Printer" correctly finds printer as Bonjour kind but "add Printer" cannot find printer software from Apple

    trying to add HP Photosmart C4280 via airport express. "Add Printer" correctly finds printer as Bonjour kind but "add Printer" cannot find printer software from Apple (although it says that the software is available from Apple)

    Rfh723-
    You are technically way ahead of me, so I can't argue with what you did.
    How about an even simpler WiFi network consisting of only the AirPort connected by an Ethernet cable to the printer?  If the iPad still can't find the printer when connected to this network, then something is broken!
    (Also try a different Ethernet cable.)

  • Epson Aculaser CX11NF printing via Airport Express

    Well today has been an interesting day...
    Connected printer to airport express usb port - had problems printing via this in the past but since I'd moved the printer so I could plug it into the usb port on a computer and then share it that way I thought I'd give it another go.
    Macbook 10.5.2 prints perfectly first time
    Powerbook 10.4.11 can see it and connect but won't print
    Toshiba XP laptop) can't see it
    Check out the net, try out the info I find and hey presto! Toshiba XP laptop sees and prints perfectly
    Share printer via Markbook and Markintosh and Powerbook prints fine but still won't print directly via airport express.
    Feels wrong that an xp book can print via an apple airport express easier than an apple laptop...
    Anyone have any thoughts?

    Hi,
    Thanks for all your replies. I tried repairs pewrmissions in disk utility again and got slightly excited when printer utility automatically selected a generic post script driver but my printer just printed jibberish.
    I've just run repair permission in pinter setup repair and this is my log:

    The file /private/etc/cups/classes.conf is missing. This file is deleted when using the Reset Printing System option.

    The permissions for the file /usr/libexec/cups/filter/rastertodymo are incorrect!
    They are lrwxr-xr-x, but should be -rwxr-xr-x
    Repaired.

    Done.
    Verification complete.
    2075 files examined. 1 problem was found and repaired. It is recommended that you verify the permissions again to make sure the values are correct.
    3 missing files/directories found during the verification process. They may be responsible for certain printing problems. Printer Setup Repair cannot replace these items.

    Does it mean anything to anyone?

  • Share printer with Windows 7 via Airport Express?

    I would like to share a printer with a Windows 7 Laptop via airport express. The Windows 7 Pc does not detect the printer whereas printing from the Macbook Pro works fine. Any ideas?

    Hi,  I was searching for the same (my colleague has a windows PC; everyone else here has mac). I have not tested this, since I am working on mac, but it seems like you need to install "Bonjour" for windows.

  • Unable to print to my Oki C3200 via Airport Express

    Hi
    I wish to print wirelessly via Airport Express using my Oki C3200 printer. I have followed all the recommended install procedures.
    I am using a Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit PC, have configured the printer with Bonjour for Windows, and still cannot print.
    The printer works fine if connected by USB direct to the PC.
    Any help appreciated.

    Yes, my iMac is hooked to my Airport Extreme through it's ethernet port.

  • When playing my i-tunes library through my hi-fi via Airport Express, how can I get i-tunes to play a single album and then stop, without continuing on through my entire library. It's a problem that doesn't occur when I'm listening through my i-pod.

    Hey everyone in Apple world!
    I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP!  Yessssss!!!
    I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process.  Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal.  No flashing yellow screen anymore!!   
    (Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
    Let me know if this works for you!

  • Can I play tracks from my iPod via Airport Express on only from my laptop?

    I can play tracks from my laptop thorugh my Bose Lifestyle  Airport Express.  Is there a way to play tracks from my iPod Touch through my Bose system via Airport Express?   My Airport Express is set up as a client to my Sky Broadband wireless router.

    I set up my laptop to my Bose Lifestyle System via Airport Express. It may be different for MAC but I just downloaded the Airport Express software and followed the on-screen set-up procedure, which includes entering your WI-FI key.  I do not have an iPad.  You need to select Airport Express in iTunes as your sound media. This is easily switched by an icon in the bottom right corner of the screen.  You will need to switch this back if you want to revert to using the laptop speakers.
