Canon printer connected on Time Capsule won't print from the PC

Hi all !!
I just bought a small printer, Canon MP250.
Connected it to my Time Capsule. Works fine on wifi with my Mac.
But with the PC (connected by ethernet).... it sees the printer, but won't print.
Bonjour installed, firewall desactivated.
Any tips/suggestion/link/idea ?
Thanks for any help !

Here's the Canon's response (sorry, in French). I'm happy that Canon answered personnaly & very quickly to my questions. That's a great support.
Lors du partage d'une imprimante en réseau, Windows utilise un port virtuel et non local, en USB l'ensemble des imprimantes sont configurer en port USB virtuel, Windows peut donc transférer les données vers un autre port virtuel.
Pour la partie scanner, le port est un port USB physique afin de gérer l'alimentation du scanner (puissance de la lampe), il vous faut donc un utilitaire qui vous permet de rediriger le flux de donnée réseau vers le port USB.

How to disconnect internet connection in Time Capsule and reconnect without restarting the whole device?

Hi, I would be very grateful if someone could tell me how to disconnect internet connection in Time Capsule and reconnect without restarting the whole device?
The thing is that as I have a dynamic IP address, everytime I restart the internet connection my IP address changes. I sometimes need it to change, so I need to restart the connection. I don't know another way to restart the connection than restarting the whole Time Capsule.
Thanks!!
PD: the computer I use is Windows based, using the Airport Utility for Windows, but I also have a MacBook Pro I could use and an iPhone too.

The utility in windows is very like Mac so the screenshots are from Mac as I don't have windows available now.
How this works depends on the setup of the TC.. which you did not tell us.. you cannot change anything if you do not have the TC as the main router in the network.
So on the internet tab you need to share a public IP address.
On the next tab where you set IP address.
Click the renew IP address.
It might work.. and it might not.. the problem is you are not disconnecting the network.. sometimes the hard disconnection is required before the address will renew..
What about unplugging the WAN port.. then click renew the IP which will fail.. then plug the wan back in again.
In the end it is easier and faster to power cycle the TC.

I'm having this same problem. I've talked to 2 different people at the Apple Care Center and neither of them were able to help me. When I first got my MacBook Pro and Canon printer and set up the printer through the TC via the USB port I was able to print wirelessly. Then I tried scanning wirelessly and was unable to so I called the Care Center and the lady helped me download the latest drive, but it still didn't work so she connected me to someone else. That lady told me the TC doesn't allow scanning capabilities, ok that solved that problem. From then on I was unable to print wirelessly. This is where I'm at now...the last two people I talked to at the Care Center were unable to help me. We went through everything, from deleting the printer I have and reinstalling it to downloading the driver I started with. Below is something I found on the canon website regarding the drivers and downloads for the PIXMA MX310 series:
History:
The printing function when using AirPort connection has been modified on the OS side. Therefore, in conformity with this modification this printing function has been enabled on the printer driver side. NOTE: When using AirPort connection, the following conditions are required: - Use the latest version of the AirPort firmware. - Use in the Mac OS X v10.5.3 or later environment.
Environment
Mac OS X 10.5 or higher (CUPS)
Caution
1. Use the CUPS drivers in the following cases only: -When performing 16-bit color printing -When printing from the 64-bit application 2. **Mac OS X v10.5 Printing using AirPort connection cannot be performed.**
I am so confused...why could I print when i first set everything up, but am now unable to, even though I supposedly reverted back to the original driver.
Someone, please help...this is very frustrating!!!

Time Capsule Won't back up the New iMac

Purchased the new iMac this December but can't get TC to back it up. I have tried:
(1) resetting TC to the factory settings but it still gets hung up (2) tried new wireless network (3) repairing permissions

Hi, and welcome to the forums.
Start with the Using TIME MACHINE with a TIME CAPSULE *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.

We need to open the connection each time you read a message from the queue?

Hi
I have a doubt regarding my queue read data that contains those I create a session and connection.
Whenever I do this or you can create a connection and get all data from the queue and then close the connection and session
eg. I have 1000 files in the queue and I read all files but without creating a session and a connection every time you get a single figure, this can be done?
I read the 1000 files without having close the session or the connection
thanks for the help.

I answered myself.
No need to open a connection and a session each to be read from a data queue to extract the entire contents of the queue with only one session and open a single connection.

CAN I CONNECT 2 TIME CAPSULES, TO MIGRATE DATA from 1 to other?

I am trying to migrate all data from a TC 3rd Gen 2TB, to a 4th Gen 3TB, is it possible?? I have tryed to no avail and y have read that is not possible. I would like to connect the new one as a Shared Drive in my network to then trasfer data. Wireless capabilities are not requiered for the new TC. Thanks a lot for the knowledge and assistance...

See item #18 in Time Machine FAQ. On that page there's advice on what you want to do in item #2 of the "How to" section.

As a Verizon FIOS client, can we just use Ethernet cable to connect to time capsule, or do we need their router to connect to the time capsule?

As a Verizon FIOS client, can we just use Ethernet cable to connect to time capsule or do we need the Verizon router to connect to time capsule?

The Time Capsule is indeed a wireless router with simultaneous dual band capability...and a hard drive for backup purposes. You can use that to your advantage if you configure the Time Capsule as I suggested in Bridge Mode.
The Time Capsule will provide a 802.11n 5 GHz band and a 802.11n/g/b compatible 2.4 GHz band to allow virtually any device to connect to the network.
I suppose that you could also use the "g" wireless network provided by the Verizon router as a "guest" network or something similar if you really do need another wireless network.
It might be possible to configure the Time Capsule as the main router on the network....that's a question for Verizon. But even if you might be able to do this, I'm sure it is not supported by Verizon, so you would be on your own in the event of any Internet connection difficulties on your service.
And, since the Time Capsule does not have a built in modem....you would still need to add a separate modem to the installation anyway.
That's why my suggestion is to use the Verizon device as the "modem" and let the Time Capsule provide the dual band wireless network and of course, handle the Time Machine backups.

Can I connect 3TB Time Capsule to 27" iMac via USB?

Hi,
I have an Airport Time Capsule, 3TB which I use for Time Machine backups. Can I connect the Time Capsule using USB cable from the TC to my 27" iMac desktop Computer? Is that the most efficient way or is there a more efficient way? Please advise.
Thanks,
relaxed

Kappy,
Why is there a USB on the back of the 3TB Time Capsule? Just a question?

Time Capsule won't connect to internet, says ethernet isn't connected

I have the 2013 Time Capsule + Airport. I tried setting it up as normal, connecting the ethernet cord to the WAN port and to my charter modem. During setup it sticks on the screen saying that the ethernet cord isn't connected. I have done everything trying to fix it. I've reset the modem, the time capsule, tried to redo the set up, tried skipping the setup and power cycling the sytem. I've unplugged the modem for an hour, turned off wireless to all laptops, unplugged the time capsule, and then powered the modem on and let it run for over half an hour. Then I started the time capsule, let it run for half an hour. Tried to see if it could connect to the internet, nothing. It keeps flashing amber. The ethernet cord works, as does the modem, as I can still use my old Belkin router that I was hoping to replace with this time capsule. It's just the time capsule. I'm losing my mind trying to get this thing to work. My modem doesn't have a reset button, so that won't do it. If there are any terminal commands that might fix it I'm open to trying that as well. Anything, at all, would be helpful, because I have no idea why this thing won't work.

Is your charter modem also a router?
When you plug the ethernet cord in, does the ethernet connectivity light come on.. both on the modem and on the TC port.. ?
Try setting up the TC in total isolation.
Reset it to factory.. the full method.. ie power off the TC.. Hold in reset.. power on the TC, without releasing reset. Keep holding in reset for 5-10 sec until the main LED goes to rapid flash mode.. then release it.
Do not plug between the TC and modem.. but you can run the cable to the computer..
Do a full manual setup.. this is a bit tricky.
After a full reset the TC will come backup in router mode with an IP address of 10.0.1.1 and the ethernet plugged into the computer should show 10.0.1.2
Make sure ipv6 is set to link-local.. it is important.
Now open the airport utility.
Go to configure other.
Type in the IP address. (Password is not needed after a reset but if you do it is public)
Now you will get the manual setup screen.
Go to the base station page and give your TC a simple name.. eg TCGen5
These are my setup which is older one.
Go to the internet tab and choose dhcp.
No picture required I hope.
Go to the wireless page and setup wireless. In your case TCGen5 is also a good wireless name.
Or you can give separate names to the two bands. TC24ghz for 2.4ghz
And TC5ghz for the 5ghz band.
Now finally the most important screen.. Network.
Is the modem a pure modem.. no router.. pick the top option.. DHCP and NAT.
Is the modem a router as well, pick the bottom option. Off (Bridge Mode).
Then do update of the TC..
Plug it into the Modem.. WAN port of the TC.. make sure the ethernet connectivity led come on..
Open the Airport utility and see if it has got an IP on Internet tab.. no luck.. take the TC back to apple for testing. Faulty out of the box is happening.

Time Capsule Won't Wirelessly Connect to Internet

If I connect my computer to my time capsule using ethernet, I can view internet pages fine. However, if I connect to time capsule using airport, internet pages won't load. How can I fix this?

LK23,
Does the TC still appear when you launch Airport Utility? If so do the following:
*Check Time Capsules’ Status*
Open Airport Utility. Select your Airport devise in the pane on the left. Is there a green dot beside it? If not click “Manual Setup”. Select “Summary” and double click the green/yellow dot beside “Status” and follow the steps to resolve any issues discovered. Click “Update” and wait for the Airport devise to restart. Now try to connect.
Let us know if this helps. Otherwise tell us what it said.
Cheers!

My 1st Generation time capsule won't connect to the internet thru a new motorola sb6121 - get continuously flashing yellow light. Using a router in between the modem and capsule yields good but slower connection to internet. Any thoughts?

My 1st Generation time capsule won't connect to the internet thru a new motorola sb6121 - get continuously flashing yellow light. Using a router in between the modem and capsule yields good but slower connection to internet. Any thoughts?

Thanks for your response
Let me give the history - I started with an Apple Express being fed thru a D-Link EBTR 2310 cable Router from an RCA DCM315 Modem (Pure). Comcast service all the way.
Got the 1st generation TC in 2008 and merely replaced the Airport Express with the TC. Worked ok
A year or two ago I did try removing the modem and feeding the TC directly from the modem. Resulted in the same condition I have now - Continuous flashing amber on the TC. So I put the router back in the chain.
Some time later, at the recommendation of a Comcast rep, I replaced the router with (a Belkin F5D 5231) to see if speed and dropout problems would be improved. I thought it helped some at the time but now I am not so sure.
Last week I decided to see if a new modem would help with download speeds. So I got another pure cable modem (Motorola SB 6121- high on the Comcast recommended list).
Got up and running easily with Comcast help and with the modem connected directly to a computer.
Next I put the TC in the link and again could not get past the TC continuing to flash amber. Although I did get connected to the internet with this configuration I lost connection two both of my printers - one connected by USB and the other wirelessly to the TC. Again everything works fine when I put the Belkin router back in the system.
However with the router in there, the modem shows the downstream connection to be 10/100 ethernet speed. (Modem light changes color for indicating speeds.}
I have gone thru all of the combinations of powering down/ up, but all stays the same.
I can live with what I have but something still doesn’t seem right.
Thanks again

Can't access a USB Drive connected to Time Capsule from a Windows PC. Apple Care can't/won't assist. HELP!!!

Trying to get my Windows 7 PC to access the USB Drive that is connected to my Time Capsule. I have a Fat32 Formatted USB drive connected to a 2TB Time Capsule and I'm trying to get access to that drive from a Windows 7 PC. I've attempted to map the network drive (based on some 3-4 year old articles I could find online) but any time I access a file from the PC, the Time Capsule "freaks out" and disconnects all connections to it which forces me to unplug it to restart the Tim Capsule. I'm at a loss now as to what to do.
Spent a few hours talking to Apple about this and much more. Apple Care can't or won't help with this particular problem (the guy I talked to, as nice and helpful as he wanted to be, had no experience supporting their hardware in a Windows environment).
Someone has to know how to fix this so, PLEASE, help if you can!

First off, Archon23, what you want to achieve is possible. I have access to both my Time Capsule (TC) and the USB drive connected to it, from a Win. 7 and Win. XP machine.
Here is what I see from the Windows side of things:
     From My Computer - TC USB Drive (Y)
     From Windows HomeNet - Time Capsule:
Now getting there is the trick.
One caveat before proceeding: I am not well versed in Windows Networks, Windows Sharing and Firewall settings so some of the following may not be elegant, may not be absolutely required, and may not be the best way of getting there. But it is what I did to see both the TC drive and it's attached USB drive on the Windows side of my network..
1.) First, I added Airport Utility to the Inbound rules of Win 7 Firewall
While poking around my Network Sharing and Firewall settings trying to figure this out, I got a Pop-up recommending I do that. AND I did that. Oh, and while you are at it, make sure you have a Home network established.
2.) Next, on a hunch, I installed a USB Wi-Fi Adapter (under $20) to my Win PC, enabled that Wi-Fi connection and disabled my Ethernet connection. I was getting no where on this matter with my Ethernet connection to a DSL Gateway. But with a Wi-Fi connection to my AirPort Express Base Station, I made progress.
3.) Finally, while poking around my Network Sharing Center some more, one by one I started the various network device Setup Wizards in there, and Trouble Shooters, to find the elusive TC/USB devices in question...AND voila, it worked.   And it's stable, been this way for going on two weeks now.
Good luck.

Apple Time Capsule Won't Stay Connected

After Verizon upgraded my router to the 9100EM my Apple Time Capsule Connects to the router but won't stay connected all the time. I have to go into router management console a couple of times a day and reboot it the restore connection. Time Capsule is connected to router by lan cable into port 1 of router. Time capsule set in bridge mode I believe. Just from time to time when I run Air Port Utility Time Capsule has green light but internet goes orange once i reboot I'm good for several hours then loses connection and have to reboot again. Tried looking for other settings to adjust but haven't found anything to help. If any body has any suggestions please help, it just gets old having to reset all the time

If you are using a Mac, which OS is installed?
Use Software Update to make sure you have all the latest updates.
Repair permissions.
Change your router (Airport) channel. Most times this all you have to do!

I'm trying to connect a LAN printer, HP Color Laser Jet 3800dn, through a Time Capsule but no one on the network can see it. The printer works fine if I connect it directly to my iMac. Any suggestions?

Hi Clark
There is a good chance the printer is just getting auto IP internally..
Plug it into your TC. And then set to dhcp via the controls on the printer.
If you know the name of the printer it should be immediately available to the network.. but anyway, you can find its IP by printing out the test page. That will also give you the network name.
Most later HP printers have web access to the print servers.. just type the ip into your browser and see if it comes up.
From the Mac, you should then be able to set it up via the printer preferences. Most HP will just appear.. but if not you should perhaps delete the local version and then check again for network printers.

MBP won't connect to Time Capsule

OK, this is odd for some time now my Time Capsule has been flashing the amber light but I've still been able to connect.
Today when I woke up my MBP (Penryn, OS 10.6.8) the Airport/Time Capsule (2nd Gen, v7.4.2) did not connect. However my iPhone did have a connection. I could see my network from the Airport icon so I thought it might have something to do with the amber light flashing and so I connected by ethernet and reset all my settings and now I have a green light again. Yea.
But, my MBP still won't connect to the network. It see's it, it just won't connect.
When I open System preferences the Airport is amber (and Airport is on and connected). When I click on Assist Me and Diagnostic the Airport shows green but all others are red.
If I plug in the ethernet ISP, Internet and Server all turn green but but Airport Setting and Network Settings both fail (red)
When I use the Assistant in Network Preferences it won't accept my password.
Oddly my iPhone still connects using the original password but now when it wakes up my iPhone it's showing 3G for about a second and then switches to WiFi. That's not happened before.

OK, spent time at the Apple Store and they told me my Time Capsule was dead (even though my iPhone could still connect). They suggested there was an outside chance if I reinstalled the OS (didn't help).
Then I called Apple Support and they said I needed to call my ISP and get a bunch of info (which when I called my ISP they had no clue what I was referring to).
Finally called Apple Support again and a guy named Greg told me to quit all my open applications, open a new Finder Window go to the HD>Library>Preferences. Scroll to the very bottom and trash the System Configurations Folder. Empty the Trash. Shut down the machine for 30+ second and then restart.
Bang, all is working great. After I got on the phone with Greg it took less than five minutes and I'm up and running like a charm.
