Cant print from Win XP and Win 7 machines using Airport Express

I have two airport expresses each hooked to a printer. Both are ini ethernet mode only; wireless is turned off. With our two Macbooks, all works perfectly; it was foolproof to set-up and both macbooks can priunt to either printer at will.
We have a Win 7 laptop; oddly, it will only print to one of the two printers
We have a Win XP desktop, it wont print to either printer.
In boht cases on the windows machines, I can see the airport expresses and I can configure3 them using the utilty. I can install the printers using the Bonjour Printer Wizard. Bonjour itself is running on each machine....I can tell as itunes home sharing works perfectly and I can see it as a "Service".
But when I try to print a document, it just never comes out!
I have Geek Squad coming next week....by nice if I could fix it before they get here!

Unfortunately, not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations. In addition, the AirPort's USB port does not support the "advanced" printer functions, like scanning, copying or faxing, of multi-function printers.
To see if your printer is compatible, take a look at thisiFelix Unofficial AirPort Printer Compatibility link. If your printer isn't listed, it doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, but simply that it has not been verified. iFelix also provides the following workaround for printers not on the list that would certainly be worth a try.
Also you can try this Apple Tech Support article to see if it will help: Printer troubleshooting for AirPort Base Stations and Time Capsule
Finally, check out this IBM support article to see if your printer is listed as having a Postscript or PCL3 interface. If it does, then it will most likely work with the AirPort's USB port. Printers that use the "HP LIDIL" interface must be connected to a computer directly and will not work.

Trouble connecting to internet on Win Vista machine through Airport Express

Hey all,
I have an Airport Express set up in my apartment and it works well. The problem is that my roommate, who has a laptop running Windows Vista, cannot connect to the internet. He can connect to our wireless network, and the signal strenghth is "excellent" but he cannot get an internet signal. I've tried running Airport Utility and it says an error occurred while trying to connect with the error code -6753.
I'm absolutely hopeless with Windows networking. Does anyone have any tips?

First thing is to contact your ISP and ask them for help. Simple issues could be: you need to restart the cable / dsl modem so it synchs to the AE; they may need to enter the actual MAC address of the router on the network (not as common now).

How do I print from win 7 computer thru network to HP Deskjet 9650 connected to XP computer?

I have a home network with a Windows 7 Professinal OS as my main PC and a Windows XP OS with an HP Deskjet 9650 attached. I want to print from the Win 7 machine to the Deskjet 9650 on the XP machine. The 9650 is installed on the XP machine and works fine. The work around driver for Win 7 should be included in the OS. I cant print from the Win 7 machine.
I would appreciate any suggestions or help.

Wireless printing problem with hp officejet 100 mobile printer from win 7 dell laptop

My hp officejet 100 mobile printer was working fine with my dell XPS 15 in bluetooth wirelessly until my laptop crashed. Now I can not get it to print internet info except with hard wire connection. Page loads half way and then stops. Must shut down laptop and shut off printer or hard wire and shut off bluetooth. down loaded lastest drivers to no avail. printer will print from cell phone and win 8 computer via bluetooth but not win 7 laptop.

Sorry you are having problems with printing from the internet. I have a few more questions to ask you before I can be of much assistance.
What web-browser are you using?
Do you have any problems printing from Word or other non-internet documents?
What did you do to fix your computer (system restore, clean install of the OS, etc)?
Have you tried an alternate web-browser?
Make sure to install all of your Microsoft updates to see if that helps. Otherwise, answer those questions for me please and I will be happy to help.
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.
When a solution is found please mark the post that solves your issue.

Why cant i print from my ipad using airport express but i can print from my mac using the express

why cant i print from my ipad using airport express but i can print from my mac using the express

Because your printer has to be Airprint compatible and connected to WiFi. There are applications, such as Printopia, that will allow you to print through your computer.

Cant print from Word/Excel/Outlook to Onenote (Office 2010)

Have a weird problem. The problem started quite resently....for a lot of users in our domain!
As the title says I cant print from word/outlook/... to onenote.....the only thing i can print from is IE10 to onenote (all other printers work ofc pdf/physical and so on). But if someone has IE8 I doesn't work for them either...
I have the printer under "printers and fax" so its not "gone"....I have tried to repair Office 2010+reboot with no success. AND i have the XPS document Writer present/working aswell.
When i try to print i can see the "printing-icon" in the lower wright corner, so something is obviously "happening"....but if i put my marker there it only says "0 printing jobs for %username%"....and yes i'm currently sitting
in a domain, i'm admin at my computer to(Windows 7 Enterprise).
I'v tried almost everything i could find i terms of repairing and checking the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt\Ski&cka till OneNote registry key (but that's for IE...and that's working correctly).
Now here's the fun part....if i run winword.exe as administrator (rightclick+Run as administrator) it works!
But that's not a solid workaround....
Anyone knows how to fix this? And as i'v explained...tried to repair several times....restarted services....check so XPS function is enabled and so on and so on...
//Regards Andreas

Hi,
According to your description, I selected the situations which your said above.
1. A lot of Domain account could print from is IE10 to Onenote, but IE 8 not.
2.When Domain account print to Onenote, but it hanged.
3. Word works well if runned as administrator.
From above, I think the printer setting was Ok, beacuse you could print something by using Onenote to physical printer.
As far as I know, OneNote stores a raster and a vector format for the printout images. It will first load the raster image (quicker to load) then quickly switch to vector image (hi res/sharper). The image you see for a split second is the raster
image and then vector format fails to render. I believe you did not lose any data, just that it fails to render due to a configuration issue.
OneNote uses .NET to render the vector format and I have seen cases where the installed .NET version or not installed .NET updates would be a problem. I recommend you first make sure you have
Win7 SP1 and Office and .NET updates that show up in Windows Update are all installed and retry after that.
And then,please check the link:http://www.onenote-tips.com/printfails.html, it may be help for you.
If the issue exists, Please use process monitor to selcet the log when the issue occurs.

Cant Print from some Apps

I have a B210a and it is connected fine. I can print from PC, MAc, IPad/Phone, I can email it stuff and it prints but... when I try and print from some of the apps, the screen goes black for some time, then comes back to the home screen without anything printing.
its not all, I tried printing from the Dreamworks and that was okay, but I cant print Disney, the word/number puzzles, etc
When I check the eprintcenter, it says the jobs were cancelled?
Any ideas?

Hey lanadan!
I know that the disney app is currently down on their servers. As for the other apps I'm not sure but if some apps work and others don't it is a problem with the manufacturer of the app. You can try contacting the maker of the app for assistance but if other apps are working what I would recommend is seeing if ePrintCenter.com has another similar app that may print what you are wanting to print out.
Hope this helps!

Cant print from internet on my d1660.

cant print from internet without restarting the spooler. and have lots of trouble then. usually prints ok from desktop office.

Have you ever had another printer installed on this computer? If so, it is possible that the wrong printer is selected in some of your software settings.

cant print from iphone but can print from macbook pro wirelessly thru airport extreme
why cant i print off the iphone

The iPhone cannot print to a device that is connected to the USB port of an AirPort router unless you install an App like Printopia.

I like this App because it works for me and there is also a free trial, so that you will know if it will work for you before you buy.

I cant print from firefox 3.6.6. anymore (but it works for emails), I'm on OS X 10.5.8

I cant print from firefox 3.6.6. anymore (but it works for emails), I'm on OS X 10.5.8:
URGENT, I NEED TO PRINT TODAY !
whenever I need to print something from a web page it doesn't connect to my printer (Samsung ML-1270) but my printer works fine and I have no problems printing e-mails
== a while ago already with older versions of firefox, but I didn't realize the problem is firefox so I can't tell exactly when it started

Posted this elsewhere too; odd thing is both Safari AND Chrome work just fine. Did the suggestions but nothing fixed it, including deleting the app and trying to downgrade to a couple of versions back.
Printing or even print preview on FF results in a blank page. Tried updating the "Add On" but that didn't do anything either. May have to give up on using FF. This is for my mother-in-law's machine and it works fine on my MacBook Pro at home. She's using an iMac with OS X 10.6.4 and this started with a recent upgrade.

I can't print wirelessly using Airport Express. I have my HP printer connected to a USB hub, and the hub to the Airport Express, but when I select the HP from the printer list, my MacBook says the printer is "off-line" - even when it is not.

I've tried several USB connectors, and several different ports on my USB hub; same result. I need to have the HP connected to the hub 'cause from there it's connected to our desktop Mac.

If I use my Airport Express to establish a network printer can I print from my IPad and iPhone?

I want to be able to print to a network printer with my IPad and IPhone with IOS 5.0.1. Seems like there is a limited number of printers that can "AirPlay" from these devices. I have an Airport Express and I know how to connect a printer and set it up as a network printer, my question is can I wirelessly print from my Ipad and iPhone then. Seems too easy for what appears to be a limited set of new printers that have that have Thai function built in.

Printopia allows me to print from an iPad2 to any printer that is connected to the USB port of my AriPort Extreme.

You will need to install an App like Print Central on the iPad to try to print to the printer. It will allow you to print to most printers. Check with their support folks if you need more info.

Just purchased a office jet 6500A Plus so that I can print from my iPhone and iPad. I can print form my iPhone but my iPad 2 tells me there is no air printer available. Why does one device recognize the air printer but the other device does not?

I have the 6500A without plus and it is with a LAN cable connected with my Router.
First make sure you have the latest printer firmware installed.
Next restart the printer and the Router.
I had the same. Problem but it went away after rebooting the Router.
