Can the Airport and the Printer be in Different Rooms?

I have the Airport Express in my old Chicago apartment. I also have Direct TV, where there is only one phone jack that works for the TV line so my modem is positioned next to it. I also have the Airport Express there so ethernet cord can make it from the modem to the airport.
Now that you have the background info, I currently have my HP c3180 connected via USB and it works perfectly. (Thanks for the kudos on setting up multiple laptops to it). But, I want to move the printer to another room down the hall. Is there a way to maintain wireless capabilities without the USB? Or do I need a really long cord to snake around door and floor moldings?
Hope I wasn't confusing. Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance.

libbytd, Welcome to the discussion area!
If the printer does not have built-in wireless you would need to run a USB cable between the printer and AirPort Express (AX).

    i have c 6180 wireless printer and an apple ipad2, can the printer print from the ipad? how can i set it up?

    Not with the built-in AirPrint print function.  However, you can download free and cheap print apps that can provide some (limited) printing abilities.  HP's iPrint is one of those.

    I use a macbook, apple airport and epson printer. After several printer jobs, I get a message "printer offline". I have tried restarting computer. restarting printer and still cannot connect, I can print directly with a USB cable. How can I connect to my printer via the airport?

    Delete the printer in System Preferences and re-add it. You may also want to restart the Airport.

  • Can the printer CM1312 MFP print in double face (same paper) with booklet format, like Canon 4850

    Can the printer CM1312 MFP print in double face (same paper) with booklet format, like Canon PIXMA 4850

    I can't help with your color proplem -- don't know the printer -- but you can use a script to impose your booklet in a new file, then export that to PDF.
    The two I use are by Dave Saunders. The first, http://pdsassoc.com/downloads/Buildbooklet.zip merely shuffles the pages in a new file. You then export that as spreads. It's very fast and easy, but cannot handle objects that cross the spine.
    The second is at Dave's CS3 Booklet Script and works by placing pages into a new spread-size document. This one does do cross-spine objects, but neither one handles creep. It's been awhile since I used either, but I think bleeds may be an issue for the second script, too.
    There are also imposing plugins for Acrobat...

  • Is there any way to stop the print screen from dropping down on top of the page to be printed.  Can the print screen be moved?

    Is there a way to stop the print screen from dropping down on top of the page to be printed.  Can the print screen be moved?  When the print screen drops down, it covers the page and the info needed to create the file.  Thank you

    You will find that this is application dependent.  Most Apple applications such as Safari and Mail will use the "sheet" type of dialog boxes that you are referring.  There is no way for the user to change that behavior.  Other, non-Apple, applications like Firefox use a "modal" dialog box for printing etc.  The modal boxes can be moved around so you can see the page behind.

  • I installed Reader (in English) and it prints in a different language

    I installed Reader [01/03/2010,in English] and it prints in a different language/garble.
    I received a hospital appointment email with an attachment confirming my next day's appointment.
    The attachment confirms place and time with a barcode to be scanned upon arrival at the hospital's kiosk.
    So far all is good but, when I print the attachment it looks similar in format but is garbled.
    It does not appear to be a translation to a foreign language but rather a series of random letters and symbols.
    Examples:
    Time:      prints out as; Ujn f ;       Provider:prints out as: Qspwjef s ; Location: prints out as: Mpdbyjo
    09:00AM   "     "   ;    1: ; 11BN      Not only are the letters garbled but they are merged
    I don't know what's wrong or how to fix it. My question is "What I Gotta Do?" HELP!

    It "could" have something to do with improper embedding of the fonts used in the document. Reader is substituting for a different font which as you can see, rarely works.
    One thing you can try is in the print menu find the option to "print as image" and see if that works.
    If it doesn't, there isn't really anything you can do except to contact the folks that made the PDF and request that they embed all fonts.

  • Everything I own (iPad, iPhone, mac) is set up on wi-fi.  when i bring my work computer home (dell laptop), I cannot get it to keep the connection in a different room. All my other devices work.... does anybody know what i am doing wrong? please help!

    Windows drivers for Intel wireless cards are known problematic.. If you have plenty of signal and it still cannot keep or hold the connection the issue can simply be the type of wireless.
    Another problem is using names that windows does not easily handle.
    eg If you set the TC using apple names, like
    Fred Blog's Airport Time Capsule wireless24ad12
    Then to windows this is too long.. it has spaces and it has illegal character.
    Change all names on the TC to suit windows. Short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    Also security must be suitable.. I have no idea how old or what OS your dell is, but if you still have issues.. pull off the security on the TC for a test.. if the computer suddenly works, it is not compatible with WPA2 AES. Make sure you also use a password that is mix upper and lower case plus numbers.. avoid special characters and make it 10-20 characters long say.. it is not required to be more than that unless you are paranoid.

  • Parallels (Win XP), Airport, and wireless printer

    Hello, I am a very novice Parallels user with an issue. I need to be able to print using Word 2007 with Parallels on my macbook and mac pro. The problem is, I have my printer hooked up via USB to my airport extreme to print wirelessly, and I can't figure out how to get the whole setup to print wirelessly in Parallels. I'm clueless. Can you help? Thanks!

    I was able to get my HP DeskJet printer running using Windows XP in Parallels, by doing the following:
    Select 'Add a new printer' in Windows
    Select 'Local Printer' in the dialog box (auto detect and install should be off), click next.
    Choose 'Create a new port' and "Standard TCP/IP Port'. Click next.
    For the printer IP address, enter the address of the base station ie. 10.0.1.1. The port name will be filled automatically. Click next.
    For the device type, choose 'Hewlet Packard Jet Direct', then click Finish.
    Choose your printer from the list and follow the rest of the prompts to install and configure the driver.

  • Airport and my printer no likey!

    Hi everyone. Here's my prob. I have an iMac g5 and an iBook Graph. SE 466Mhz. I can not for the life of me get either of them to detect my printer. It's connected to the airport extreme base station (the brick) and I have tried turning the airport off and on, disconnecting the printer, re-loading the software and nothing works. How can I get it to work? PLease help!

    Use the process outlined here:
    HP Printers (and others) not on compatibility list and Airport Extreme Printing
    http://tech.ifelix.net/1300.html
    Using the Gimp-Print drivers for the HP PhotoSmart P1000 printer.
    The supplied HP C3100 series drivers will not work when the printer is connected to an Airport base station.

  • Multiple duplicate prints via apple airport and bonjour printer driver on HP Color Laserjet 1600

    Please advise if this request will incur any costs as I have exhausted all self-help resources and articles in your knowledge base. Nothing applies to my issue. I used to be able to use this printer via USB or wireless network using apple airport base station and bonjour printer driver. When my company ugraded to Windows 7, USB seems to work ok and wireless under same setup works too, but each page prints out many duplicates >40 duplicates when in wireless state. I am also trying to print from my IPAD and this does not seem to work at all. If you tell me this printer will not perform, please just be honest and let me know. I don't mind buying another printer if needed but don't want to incur more high level cartridge costs (bought many due to duplicate issue) and could afford the new printer instead. Deciding between brother or hp depending on usable feedback here. Using Lenovo T410 for all that matters...Thank you, Marc

    Unfortunately, without knowing the model of the printer I wont be able to let you know too much information on the issue or how to resolve it. Also, when you upgrade your OS you often have to update the programs you are using, I would recommend uninstalling the printer and using the software available on http://goo.gl/7R6HT.
    Let me know Marc!

  • Airport and Wireless Printing?

    I have an older airport. The domed one that looks like a UFO. I'd like to be able to print wirelessly from my Dell and Mac laptops. Does anybody have instructions on how to do so? My printer is a Lexmark X2650. I have a Powerbook G4 and a Dell Latitude D620. Right now, my configuration is as follows: Ethernet cable comes into the Airport router. Ancient Dell desktop is physically connected to the router and the two laptops connect wirelessly. Any printing has to be done from the Dell desktop (the printer is connected to it). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If your AirPort unit has a USB port (not all domed models do), you may be able to print through it to your printer. Here is a Lexmark Web page that discusses that:

  • When I print multiple photos on the same page,  the prints come out different.

    I have printed several copies of the same photo, 2 to a page.  The 2 copies are different.  One seems to be before adjustment and one after, so the exposure appears different. My printer is a Canon pro9000. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
    Thanks!

    If you print the photo (2 to a page) twice separately, i.e. not 2 copies of the same setup in iPhoto,  are they different?
    Try this:  in the Print menu use the PDF button and select the Save as PDF option.  Then open the file in Preview and print the 2 copies.  Do they look the same?  If not then the problem may lie with the printer not maintaining the same settings from one print to the the next.

  • Airport and network printer

    Well, everything works fine. Internet and mail. But I cannot print. Airport is plugged into an ethernet network. The printer is in it too. A GCC Laserprinter Elite XL 40. Yes, apple talk is acitvated. When I try to ping the printer it says 100 % loss. Could it be the dsl router?

    Use AirPort Admin Utility to disable that option. This picture shows the option enabled. You want it DISABLED.
