Can you access scan function of a multifunction printer using Bonjour/expre

I'm using a Canon Pixma 830. It prints fine through airport express. I've hooked up the printer to the airport express using a usb cable.
The question is. Can I use the other functions of the scanner using the bonjour/Express set up? I doesn't seem to work. I'm using a macbook so not hooking up the usb directly to the computer would be helpful. Thanks.

Theoretically almost anything is possible...
(a) The first thing you have to have is the proper hardware support. Only Apple knows if the AEBS's USB port has capabilities to access a scanner. If the hardware doesn't support it, end of story.
(b) (1) You would need to create AEBS firmware that tapped into the AEBS hardware for scanning. (2) This firmware would need to provide a network interface for clients to use to access the scanning capability. (3) The Mac applications would need to be modified to know how to get a scan over a network connection instead of a local scanner.
I have a suspicion that a USB printer interface has been standardized to some degree while the USB scanner interface has very little standardization.

  • Can you access non-Oracle database with HTML DB?

    Can you access non-Oracle database with HTML DB? If not, will this be possible in the future?
    I realize HTML DB is not an open-source product. However, it is necessary sometimes to get non-Oracle database info. JDeveloper supports this. It does not appear to me that HTML DB does. This is a major drawback to it being a product for more potential applications that rely on other database technology such as MySQL, etc.
    If it is possible, is this brain surgery to do it. HTML DB offers fast simplified development and it would be good if it was built in. Does anyone know of an example of accessing non-Oracle database that is available?

    12282,
    In general, HTML DB gives you access to Oracle database facilities. These include heterogeneous services. Please search this forum for keyword "heterogeneous" and you can follow the threads that interest you.
    As for the comparison with brain surgery, I'd rank them about the same in terms of raw thrill.

    Thanks for your replay Brendan.  Earlier today I exectured the command "failover active" on the standby ASA to force it to failover and become the primary.  The configurations got pushed across the ASA's and they synced up but I lost all connection until I was able to do a no failover active on the standby so that the Primary ASA once again became the active.  Both of the ASA's current state are Active/Active.  The role of one ASA is set to Primary and the other ASA's role is set to Standby.  I'm unable to reach the ASA with the assigned role of Standby.  I'm unable to ping, telnet, or SSH to the standby IP from anywhere, including the primary ASA and the switch connected to the standby ASA.  I'm even unable to ping the switch that the standby ASA is connected too from that standby ASA.  All traffic over the inside interface just hits 10.1.0.5 and then nothing after that, almost like it's having a routing issue but the same config's are on the two ASA's so they have the exact same routing table.  I'm able to ping all of the failover links between the two ASA's but the main inside interface on the standby ASA is unreachable.  What would cause the inside interface of the standby ASA to result in failure?  Thanks again!

  • Can you access all of your HD?

    Can you access all of your Hard Drive when you got 2 partitions of mac and windows 7?
    I was wondering if i could access some files from the mac side of the partition, for instance big files that are used in some programs, because the window partition might be small (40 GB)
    I heard you can access every part of the hard drive when boot in mac, but can it be the other way around? i'm not saying to install applications or anything, its just files, for instance doc, or installation files on the mac partition

    I agree with The hatter.  I like the Paragon HFS drivers for WIndows, and their NTFS Drivers for MacOS.  The native drivers in Snow Leopard or Lion give you read only access to NTFS volumes, and the Boot Camp drivers from Apple give our Windows install Read Only access to HFS+ partitions.  If you want to be able to access the whole drive from either OS, then I think the Paragon drivers are the answer.
    I have a 500GB drive in my MacBook Pro, partitioned 320GB for Lion, and about 175GB for Win7.  I keep my Thnderbird email profle stored on my MacOS partition, and no matter which OS I boot I can have full access to my local mail archives.

  • Can you access an external HD plugged into the Airport Extreme from a remote location over the internet?

    Can you access an external HD plugged into the Airport Extreme from a remote location over the internet?
    Also can the content on the exteral HD plugged into the airport be accessed by the TV to stream content?

    The first question answer is yes..
    The question is asked continually.. please read the methods that Tesserax wrote up so well.
    See remote access tip here.
    AirPort
    Also can the content on the exteral HD plugged into the airport be accessed by the TV to stream content?
    Unlikely .. because your TV uses a system called DLNA.. and Apple do not support DLNA in any way shape or form.. because they are fully committed to iTunes.. Apple routers have no media extensions.. unlike most other decent brands now which mostly do support multimedia.
    Having said that.. you can place your video files on the external hard disk.. and play them.. but you need a player.. a real player not an apple TV which is a streamer.. eg A WD Live TV can play video files.. because it is a media player.. unlike your TV or apple TV.

  • HP8500A all-in-one can no longer scan thru wireless network but prints fine.

    HP8500A all-in-one can no longer scan thru wireless network but prints fine. Have used this device several times over past 2 years on different wireless networks (at home) but usually at some point I lose wireless scan function but maintain wireless Printing.  I used to be able to reload the software and resolve the issue but now in this "new network" cannot get wireless scanning to work.   Setup software; original software (CD) and current download as well as "Print/Scan Dr"  hangs-up at "network check"  for hours.  Compaq laptop, Dell Laptop, Cell phones and Roku work fine thru network.  Scanner works fine with USB to Laptops.

    Which model Epsons are they?
    I'm assuming you're using Yosemite (OS X 10.10), and that the problem developed when you upgraded from a previous OS.
    (Your profile says 10.6.7 BTW).
    Maybe the scanning function is not compatible with Yosemite.
    You could try a few things:
    reset your wifi system:
    power down everything: modem, router, computer, printer/scanners.
    wait a minute.
    power them all up again, in that order: modem, router, computer, printers. Let each power up completely before going on to the next.
    try a factor reset on your printer/scanner (if there is such a function). You'll have to check your manual for how. If you do that you'll have to enter the wifi password in your printer/scanner, assuming you have security on your network.
    uninstall any printer manufacturer "utilities" that are on your Mac, and try Image Capture again.
    If it is a compatible software issue, you could try VueScan, but I've never needed to use it.
