Canon MP810 printer on Time Capsule permanently off line

I've just got a new Time Capsule.
My Canon MP810 printer was recognised immediately, but whatever I have tried, my Macbook shows it as off line.
Can anyone help?

Welcome to the discussions!
There are a number of things that could cause your printer to be off line, so the best plan would be to use the Apple Troubleshooting Guide to work through the possibilities.
Sometimes the last step...resetting the printing system...will resolve an issue like yours, but it is best to start at the beginning of the guide.
Also bear in mind that although your printer is recognized, it may or may not function correctly when installed at the USB port on the Time Capsule. If it is compatible and you have an all in one device, only the printing function will work when the device is connected at the USB port on the Time Capsule. If you need to scan, copy, or perform maintenance functions, you will need to connect the Canon to your computer.

How do I manage to setup my Canon to print via Time Capsule

Dear MacGurus
I've got a Canon MP520 printer/scanner that I've connected to my MacBook Air (OS X 10.8.1) and works well with printing & scanning. Just received my 2TB Time Capsule and want to set it up as a printerserver. I've joined it to my local WLAN that connects to Internet and set it up with Time lapse for backup.
Now, plugging the MP520 USB into the back of the TC I go to System Preferences -> Print & Scan. Here I naturally see the MP520 being unplugged from my McBook Air (as it is now plugged in to the TC...) Anyway, I click the small [+]-icon and selects "Add new printer or scanner". Here I now see the "Canon MP520 series" listed as a "Bonjour"/printer with Location on my TC. Selecting it and clicking "Add" a pop/says "Setting up Canon MP520 series-2, downloading software" and the progress par reaches some 30% progress when I get the following error message:
"Can't install the software for the Canon MP520 series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."
What is the problem? The printer works fine locally, but not over the air. Is it not supported by Bonjuor?
Kind regards
Niclas

Much more likely they don't have network drivers for ML.. try downloading whatever software is required directly and then installing it instead of allowing auto install.

I connected my Canon printer to time capsule, and can print OK. However, I can't get the printer scanner to work. How do you set up the scanner with Time Capsule?

You cannot use USB. It has to be a network capable printer.. is it?? You did not indicate how it is connected.. but by wireless or ethernet then scanning is possible otherwise not.

WIFI on my Time Capsule is off, and there's no way of getting it back on, nor of accessing my Time Capsule. How can I resolve?

WIFI on my Time Capsule is off, there's no way of getting it back on, I can't connect to my Time Capsule anymore, and the reset button doesn't work.

Thanks for the help, managed to get it back up and running. Some feedback:
* My TC was still under warranty, so I didn't want to open it up.
* I disconnected all cables from TC and Macbook, except the ethernet between both.
* Restarted TC, and WIFI went back up.
This leads me to thinking that what caused my troubles is:
* I had a USB hub connected to the TC, on which is a USB printer
* I had disconnected the USB printer from the hub to connect it directly to my Macbook (to make a scan of a document)
* When reconnecting the printer to the USB hub, the WIFI went down.
I think TC WIFI must be rather sensitive to USB connecting and disconnecting...
Thanks once again !

I have an iMac OS X. I added it to a pc home network. On the network I have a Canon MP810 printer. I can get my iMac to print a test page, but it not print anything else. How can I fix this problem?

I have a iMac OS X. I added it to a pc home network. On the network I have a Canon MP810 printer. I can print a test page on the printer sent from the iMac, but that is the only thing that can be printed from the iMac. What do I need to do the solve this problem?

Try installing the printer via System preferences using this driver:

How CAN I PRINT FROM TIME CAPSULE?

I've set up Time Capsule through Airport utility and Time Machine but had some problems doing so. Consequently, it was set up with print cable still hooked to iMac. Now that Time Capsule is functioning as a backup for my files, I've tried to print from Time Capsule to my HP PSC 1610 printer. I've transfered my print cable from iMac to Time Capsule and tried to make any changes necessary to print from it. But it doesn't work. What am I possibly doing wrong? I've tried following page 28 of Time Capsule setup guide (If your printer isn't responding) but that has not helped.

Time Capsule Falling Off Network During Heavy Activity

This basic topic has been previously posted but keeps getting hijacked by digression. To clearly state the behavior; Time Capsule falls-off (disappears) from a WiFi network during operations where large amounts of data is being moved. This occurs regardless of whether the internal drive or a connected USB drive is the target. This is not an internet issue.
Set-up: Time Capsule is extending an 802.11 b/g/n network originating from an AirPort Express. Time Machine is currently off (because this issue has made it unreliable). The TC has a USB drive with my iTunes library and documents folder. There is one client cpu, a current model Macbook. All drivers and firmware report "up to date." Interface robustness has been both on and off. I have gone to 802.11n only and the problem persists.
The Time Capsule will sit on the network for weeks without issue if data is not being passed to it. When I copy large amounts of data to the TC or the attached USB drive it will vanish off the network until I do a cold boot of it (the TC). I will get a system network error of "DATA-1 cannot be written to" when it happens, which is understandable since the TC is in Oz. I have parked on Channel 1 which reports unused by my sniffer; I have also hopped to other channels but the problem persists. This is a hi-rise apartment environment.
This has been an issue since day-one with this unit and I have brought it to the Genius who could not get it to repeat after hours of testing.

I can't help directly -- just got mine last night -- but to bump your thread and get some clarification...
You say your USB drive attached to the TC has your "iTunes library and documents folder", do you mean literally your Documents folder, or just a folder with documents?
Are you accessing the Internet through your TC, or is it attached to your network as just a device, and you have another router/gateway? When you say "drops off", do you mean you cannot mount it remotely and that's the only problem, or do you lose Internet connectivity -- if it's your gateway -- or does the Airport Utility not see it?
If it's a mounting problem, I assume you cannot see either the internal or external USB drive. Have you tried it without the external USB drive? (I assume that may have been a difference when the Mac Genius tried it. Did you also take your USB drive and did they leave it attached for their testing?)
What about things like temperature conditions, etc? Perhaps if where you keep it is very hot and the Apple Store is very air-conditioned?
Just throwing out a bunch of ideas and questions that might help someone see the problem. Clarification always helps.

I cannot get time capsule back "on line" (green)

I cannot get time capsule back "on line" (green); tried reset button; tried unplugging everything; comes back on flashing amber, won't get back to green; computer now can't find my network.
what now?

Ok.. we still need to know how are you connected to the TC.. YOU not the cable side.. the YOU side.
Are you using wireless or ethernet to your computer? If not please plug in ethernet and turn off the airport in the computer.
Now reopen the airport utility.. can it find it..
If not press the reset on the TC for 10sec.. until the led on front flashes rapidly.
The AU should now find the TC.
Make sure you leave the TC in router mode.. unfortunately the later AU tends to bridge the TC without permission from you.. one of those extra helpful things Apple did.
If you are still on Lion download and use 5.6 utility. It is far superior.

You can also load it into ML but it is tricky.

Apple have removed useful functions and ease of use.. although I guess they would disagree with the later.

Suddenly during printing my printer HP Photosmart 6510 goes off line

My printer HP Photosmart 6510 goes off line during printing. This happen every 10 minutes and I have to re-install the printer to be able to print. My former HP Photosmart printer did not behave like this. How can I avoid my printer to go off line all the time?
1. Product Name and Number
• HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC
2. Operating System installed (if applicable)
• Windows 7 64-bit
Best regards,
Lena Sehlin

It sounds like the router's DHCP may be changing the IP address too frequently for the printer software to keep up with it.
I recommend setting a static IP address as it resolves many network issues with printers in general.
Follow step 6 in this document from HP.

Canon printer into Time Capsule - works with macbook not imac - why?

Hi all,
This has been up in the iMac section for a couple of days and no one has replied. I thought I'd post it in here as people with TC's may have come across this and know how to fix it. I originally thought it was an iMac fault - perhaps it still is! Anyway I hope I've not broken any rules by posting it in here, when its already else where, if so apologies in advance.
I have both an iMac and a MacBook Pro (3 weeks old). I also have a time capsule and have plugged my Canon iP4500 into the USB port on the TC. I had, before getting the macbook, the printer printing wirelessly, with all the functionality that it should have using the airport on my iMac and the TC. Then after an upgrade of OS X, it suddenly stopped working wirelessly. I can not get it to work, no matter what I try - I've reset the printer settings in system prefs, reinstalled the drivers from the Canon web site, re-setting the TC - nothing works.
However it does work from my MacBook Pro! It has the same OS X version, the same printer drivers downloaded from the same site.
Obviously I'd like both computers to be able to print wirelessly - not sure what's going on with the iMac.
All help is very very appreciated.

I thought I'd search the hard disk and remove all files, drivers et al that I could find relating to the printer. Then reinstalled the up to date driver from the Canon website. (If I knew how / if it possible to post a screen grab of the printer window I would - so I've made a new page on my website - you can see screen grabs at: http://web.me.com/timhydes/Site/CanoniP4500_printerissues.html ).
This time the printer window pops us as per usual, then in the top half section where it shows the icon, the name of the file it should be printing, but underneath it says "No pages found!", in the status table in the bottom half it says "Printing" (see screen grab 1). If I leave it for a while, it changes the top half to "Printer Ready" and the status menu says "Stopped" (see screen grab 3).
If I click on hold, then resume I get a new window which says: "Operation Count not be completed" "client-error-not-possible" (see screen grab 2).
I've checked that there is printer ink, paper et al, and it still prints from my MacBook.
I wondered it this may shed some light on the issue from those more knowledgeable than my self.
Many Thanks
Tim

Can't print through Time Capsule using Windows-operating computers

I've just bought a time capsule 500GB and it's working fine. It backups my macbook every hour and I can easily print whatever file I want through my Canon iP1800 series, which is connect to WAN port of my time capsule.
However, I have others 2 notebooks running windows, and I can't print from them wirelessly. I've installed the airport utility and Bonjour in both computers using the CD that came with my time capsule and I followed these instructions of an old topic here (_but it didn't work out_):
“1. Make sure the printer is recognized by the base station.
2. Select 'Add a new printer' in Windows
3. Select 'Local Printer' in the dialog box (auto detect and install
should be off), click next.
4. Choose 'Create a new port' and "Standard TCP/IP Port'. Click next.
5. For the printer IP address, enter the address of the base station 10.0.1.1. The port name will be filled automatically. Click next.
6. 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.”
Do someone have any idea to tell me what's happening? How can I fix this problem and have Mac and Windows laptops printing through my time capsule?
Thanks

When you installed bonjour did the Bonjour Print Wizard appear on your desktop? Or in the program menu?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3052?viewlocale=en_US
In my personal experience Bonjour sometimes doesn't install properly and doesn't appear on either the desktop or program menu, particularly if it is installed at the same time as another piece of apple software. Each of the times this happened I removed bonjour, using Windows Setup:Add/Remove programs, and then downloaded it again individually.
If you have the same experience as me you'll then be asked if you want to install a shortcut to the printer wizard. The wizard has done the trick for me. I've not yet had to resort to the rather more complicated "add new printer" route.

Unable to print from time capsule now

I am using a Time Capsule, to which I have connected a USB printer (HP Laserjet P1006). I was able to print (a lot) over that setup and now, suddenly, without any apparent change, I can no longer print.
I checked the printers & faxes in System Preferences, removed the installed printer and installed it again. No result.I connected the USB printer directly to my PC and I was able to print normally. The problem seems to be in the connection with the Time Capsule.
I'm using a windows PC that runs Vista if that helps.
Thanks for any help.

Hmmm... I would have hoped that restarting the bonjour service would have got it going again.
Something has messed with it.. and often an automatic windows update is the cause of these things.. something must have shut off the bonjour service.. again I think it must be a windows update.
How long ago did this happen?? If it is just a few days or a week.. try doing a system restore back to when it used to work.
This is not much use if the drivers were upgraded and have issues with bonjour but it is worth a try.
Make sure the network did not suddenly decide to move from home to work or public in the vista computer.. take off the firewalls and ensure your network location is home.. vista can autonomously decide it is now connected to public network and cut off all local connections.. that is because it is vista.. shudder.
Are you connecting by wireless, PC to the TC??
Can I get you to use ethernet and turn the wireless off. I am not sure how much network shuffling this will require but it is always a worthwhile test.
If we can narrow the problem to update drivers or security or some other function it would make life easier.. but I have to say in the end.. vista.. shudder.. caused me to move to Macs.. I cannot offer too much more help.. other than to say.. as a computer technician in past life.. vista had one good effect.. I bailed out and moved to Mac. For whatever problems I complain about here.. and I do.. because I think Apple is going the MS route with new OS every 18months.. it still has to be better than windows.. and vista is the pits.
If you are wedded to vista.. shudder..
There are a few other ways to skin the proverbial cat.. the easiest being buying a cheap ethernet to USB print server on ebay. Printers are now available readily with network built in.. for but a few dollars more than USB models.. so people virtually throw away their old usb print servers. These are inevitably superior from vista point of view as no apple protocols are needed. And of course the better solution is simply replace the printer with a network model.. that is cheaper than a Mac I guess.. although leaving you in the clutches of vista seems hardly the actions of a friendly advisor.
Last.. the stability of the gen6 TC is not all that marvellous.. you can do a factory reset on that and redo the setup.
Use all very short names.. no spaces and pure alphanumerics.
The setup of the TC should not be done from v5 utility of course .. it should be done from Mac or iOS device.

Problem with Epson Printer and Time Capsule

I have a new Time Capsule, already gone through first backup etc... I tried to connect my 2 month old Epson RX 680 to the TC via USB. I have tried everything and still cannot print wirelessly. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, rebooted both TC and printer, running out of ideas. Any suggestions why I can't print wirelessly?
BTW, works fine with USB from printer directly into macbook pro.

I attempted this routine with my Epson R380 and this did not help. I do have a working HO OfficeJet 6210xi working off Time Machine. I'm wondering if an expert with CUPS can help determine the problem from the logs?

Trying to Connect Wireless Epson Printer with Time Capsule

Greetings. I am a regular Mac user and using Mac for several years now. However, I am a new to network administration. I have a Linksys wireless router that syncs our 5 Macs (one iPad-1 iMac and three MacBook Pros), plus 4 Windows PC's we have in our network. I recently decided to purchase a Time Machine, and further our use of Apple technology in wireless devices. I want to back up all my computer's files to Time Machine and use the Airport Extreme functions of Time Machine while discontinuing the use of my LinkSys router. However, I can't get my Epson WorkForce 600 to wirelessly connect to Time Capsule in order to use the scanner & fax functions. Connecting the printer by USB enables the printer function, but disables all other functions of the printer (fax-scan, etc.).
I tried downloading new Epson drivers and couldn't get some of them to install. This time My iMac wouldn't install the .dmg files. I tried opening the .dmg file and installing. The pop up box requiring my administrator password, kept flashing when I tried to enter my password. Since I couldn't get the .dmg files to install, my plan to update Epson driver's didn't work. Question #1: I am looking for advice how to install these weird disk image files ?
I turned off my Time Capsule, re-connected the LinkSys to the cable modem and all my wireless functions work again, especially my printer. Sadly, no Time Capsule.
I read another discussion suggestion connecting both wireless devices together. I assume since I want to use Time Capsule that I set it up with the modem and connect the other router to it via one of the four ethernet connections. I didn't want to try this until I received further advice. I am hoping I can connect my LinkSys router to Time Capsule and use the printer through the LinkSys connection with all other computers on my network.
Question #2: How can I get my Time Capsule to find the Epson so I can use it again, or should I just use the LinkSys router connected to the printer?
Thank you in advance for help.

This sounds as if you are trying to use instructions that are more than 2 years old at this point, but you are using a new version of AirPort Utility Utility in Lion or Mountain Lion....which would not track or apply to the older instructions.
Can you confirm what operating system that you are using on the Mac that is being used to configure devices?
The new AirPort Express will connect directly to the Time Capsule using an Ethernet connection, correct?
