Compatible Printer Drivers for Time Capsule?

Okay, so far I've had many problems with my time capsule
But as for now I just want to be able to print wirelessly using my Officejet 5610 All in One Printer!
The only problem is that it can't seem to find a driver to work with...
So I was wondering if I could use some other driver and have my printer emulate it to get it to print over wifi?
Someone please answer...
I've had tons of other questions that are still unsolved...

Be patient.
If you read some other posts, lots of people have been having problems printing wirelessly on Leopard and Airport Express/Extreme and Time Capsule. It's not a matter of printer drivers, but probably of Leopard itself. Considering how many posts there have been on the issue, I would not be surprised if Apple released a fix soon.
On the other hand, even when the issue gets fixed, your all-in-one will most likely work wirelessly only as a printer, since it doesn't seem that wireless scanning is supported.
Edit: Also, if you have issues limit yourself to one post per issue. The reason why I answered to your post is because I'm having printing problems as well, and I am (apparently) a very kind person. Some other users probably got annoyed by your repeated posts. Just so you know.

  • Trying to connect wireless printer, asking for password for time capsule?

    Trying to connect new wireless printer and it's asking for my password for my time capsule.  I don't remember that I had entered one initially, but maybe I did and just forgot.  Any way to retrieve a password for time capsule?

    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click on Edit in the small window
    Click the Base Station menu at the uppermost top of the computer screen up where the Help, File, Window, etc menus appear

  • How do I print from my iPad to a USB printer on my time capsule?

    I have a Mac mini, iPad 2, iPad 3rd gen, 2 iPhone 5's, and a 2TB time capsule. All running the latest versions of their respective OS's. The hp printer I got at apple is plugged into the USB port on the time capsule because I couldn't figure out how to connect it wirelessly to the time capsule. Used to have it hooked up wirelessly to my uverse router but we moved and couldn't take uverse with us. The Mac mini prints to it fine but all other devices do not see the printer. Help!

    Unless it's AirPrint compatible printer - you can't I'm afraid.
    Time capsule doesn't contain drivers for printer - it only passes data between client and printer, which is why you require drivers on your mac. iOS doesn't have printing drivers for each individual printers pass AirPrint (which is in a way driverless printing)
    There are 3rd party tools you can use to share that printer (after it is installed on your Mac) to share out as AirPrint.
    for instance:

  • Printer seen from Time Capsule - print not adding to queue.

    Been a while since I've been here... things have been doing well until now.
    At our store in Minnesota, we've got 13 Macintoshes on display as well as a Time Capsule. All of them have been able to network to each other, as well as see our Epson CX7400 on the network. Every Mac has the appropriate driver installed, with the printer added successfully to each system.
    However, when any given Mac attempts to print to the Time Capsule's Epson CX7400, which is networked via the Bonjour protocol, the print queue remains empty (as if nothing was ever sent to it), and the printer does not respond.
    All I get is a quick blip on the screen showing that the document is being prepared for printing, sends it to the queue where it mysteriously disappears.
    Not sure what is going on here. I've looked at as many things as I could. Might be something simple that I'm missing, I don't know.
    I've reset the printing system, reinstalled drivers, checked the Bonjour and network settings on both the Time Capsule and each Macintosh to no avail.
    Any ideas?

    Same exact problem here! Same printer... Time Capsule... Everything. And it just started happening about the same day as the first post. Someone help!

  • No printer tab in time capsule

    I am trying to add a printer to my Time Capsule.  It is not a wifi enabled printer, so I was thinking about just connecting it to my Time Capsule via USB and using the Time Capsule as my wifi sharing.
    I don't see a tab in the Time Capsule for printing.  I seem to recall this existed at one time, but for some reason it is gone now.
    I updated to Time capsule from 7.6 to 7.6.1, but still nothing there.
    I have not found a simple solution as I was hoping on line.  Can anyone assist?

    I'm not suggesting that you "downgrade" at all.  I am suggesting that you add the full feature version of AirPort Utility to your Mac.
    Both AirPort Utility 5.6 and 6.0 were made available on the same day. You can keep both versions on your Mac and use the one that you want. You may have missed this information from Apple.
    But, don't be fooled by the lower 5.6 number....5.6 does a lot more than 6.0
    For reasons only known to Apple, AirPort Utility 6.0 is in fact a serious downgrade. We cannot answer for Apple on that.
    Let us know if you decide to add AirPort Utility 5.6 and more functionality to your Mac. In case you were wondering, 6.0 cannot be easily be deleted....it is part of the Lion operating system.

  • Why can't I print wireless with Time Capsule anymore?

    I have an Epson Stylus Photo 1280 that I have been printing wireless with for many years by plugging it in to the USB port on the back of the Time Capsule. Not anymore.
    I have a MacBook Pro running the latest OS as well as the latest model Time Capsule running the latest software from Apple. I have tried using Airport Utility 5.6 which sees the printer plugged in. But when I try to add the printer to the Print & Scan system preferences, it shows up but says:
    Software for this printer is available from Apple. Would you like to download and install it?
    When I click "Download and Install" it searches for the software but then tells me:
    The software for this printer is currently unavailable. Please contact the printer’s manufacturer for the latest software.
    When I plug the printer directly into my MBP, I can add the printer and print without any problems.  Per Epson, I have the latest software for my printer, so I'm not sure why Apple needs to search for the software and download it in order for me to print using the Time Capsule.
    Like I said before, this all use to work flawlessly. I'm assuming all the updates have "broken" something.
    Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions.

    Well, I solved my problem.
    I deleted the EPSON folder in Library/Printers as well as Library/Cache and installed the EPSON driver via Softwar Update.
    Everything is working fine now.

  • Do I need to keep my external hard drive connected at all times for time capsule?

    Do I need to keep my external hard drive connected at all times for time capsule?

    Hi,
    I have a similar question. I have backed up my external hard drive through my computer, onto my TC. When I go into TM, it doesn't show the external hard drive unless it is connected to the computer. Can I access the info from the external hard drive that is on the TC if I don't have the hard drive plugged in? If so, how can I do that?
    Thanks,
    Bernadette

  • Use external drive for Time Capsule backups AND file storage?

    I have an external drive formatted by my MBP.  I'm using it to store my iTunes music library and iPhoto pics.  Can I use the drive for Time Capsule backups as well?

    Yes, but that is not recommended. Storage and backup should be kept separate to reduce the chances of a disk failure. This is especially important because you cannot even partition a Time Capsule drive. Go get a separate drive for your storage needs. Get another drive for a second backup and use a different method of backup than Time Machine

  • HP Laserjet 1020 Print Wirelessly Via Time Capsule?

    Is it possible to set up an HP Laserjet 1020 to print wirelessly via time capsule? I already know I have to use the 1022 driver, and my printer works perfectly when the usb is plugged into my Macbook air. I plugged it into the new time capsule I just bought and added it on my Macbook as a network printer, but it wont print. Any tips or suggestions would be extremely helpful! Thanks in advance!

  • Configure syslog for Time Capsule

    I have seen some items on this in the forums, but to be honest..I would this would be pretty simple to find somewhere, but none of what I see seems to work, plus like 2 - 3 years old...whats up with that?
    Can someone give me instructions for setting up syslog config for Time Capsule, going to the latest Apple Mini
    Thanks, Joshua

    This Apple article may not give you the whole story, but it may help.  One thing it doesn't seem to do is tell you where to find that information on the Mac that's receiving the Syslog information.  Since you know enough about that to ask, I'll hope that you already know that.

  • Time Machine issues (16030) sparsebundle" is already in use for Time Capsule backup

    Time Machine issues (16030) sparsebundle” is already in use for Time Capsule backup process.  Just started happeing been using it for over two years.

    First, restart the computer and the Time Capsule. In most of the cases, this solve the problem.

  • Why can't I use iDisk for a back-up disk for Time Capsule?

    G'Day All,
    I am new to apple and mostly am loving it! Being new to this product has me asking some basic questions, like ... why can't I use iDisk for a back-up disk for Time Capsule?
    Here I have something like 20 gb disk space available, but it seems I need to buy an external hard drive (or an airport) in order to use, what I believe is one of apples greatest inventions, the Time Machine...
    Can anyone correct my flawed understanding or, better yet, teach me how to do it properly?
    Cheers

    Thank you Pondini.
    Speed makes sense, but I thought I had plenty of size available ... never mind! Looking over some of the other posts, it looks as though I'd be better off with an external Hard drive than the Apple Time Capsule (if I want more than 12-18months service).
    That was true of some of the ones made a couple of years ago (many of which Apple replaced way beyond the warranty period, and even some beyond the 3-year AppleCare period). Presumably Apple has fixed the power supply problem in the newer units, so they'll last longer.
    If you don't have AppleCare for your Mac, I'd strongly suggest buying it. If you do, and buy a TimeCapsule, Airport, or other accessory within 2 years, it's covered, too.
    But unless you need a wireless router, yes, paying for one in a Time Capsule doesn't make sense. A good external HD is a much better buy.

  • Are there any firmaware updates for time capsule?

    Are there any firmware updates for Time Capsule/Time machine?
    I just had a new hybrid (SSD and spinning disk) drive (750 GB) installed on my MacBook Pro and used Boot Kamp to partition it and run Windows xp. Now, my previously working Time Machine won't function. It says the "sparsebundle" is open (or in use)  preventing the back-up from working properly. When I try and remove and re-install Time Capsule as the disk to back-up to, it still doesn't work. My plan "B" is get a second Time Capsule and dedicate it to the MacBook. But, I fear I'll face the same problem.
    When I open to reconfigure Time Machine, the Time Capsule disk is identified as the back-up, but it's also seen in the "available disks to use for back-up" along with with Boot Kamp disk which is part of the new SSD hybrid hard drive just installed. (Remember it's the partitioned part running Windows xp.)
    I've unplugged/plugged-in the ethernet internet connection and the power cord many times to no avail. The message still says the sparsebundle is in the way.
    Do you think deleting Boot Kamp disk from the list of available hard drives might solve the problem?
    Bill in Tulsa

    TM can only use AFP and only on disks formatted HFS+ (ie Mac Extended Journaled) so it should not bring up a boot camp partition as a possible destination at all .. but I have not done that seutp.
    It says the "sparsebundle" is open (or in use)
    That error is well known. It should simply required the TC to be restarted..
    That sometimes gets things working where the simple restart won't.
    I would recommend using short names, with no spaces and pure alphanumeric. 
    That is C9
    http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    If you have a more complicated setup.. I would recommend firstly doing a TM reset in the computer.
    See A4 in the same reference.
    Do a verify then of the sparsebundle on the TC.. A5 but you might need to inherit the old backup if you want to continue an old backup.. A new hard disk will make the TM consider the old backup no longer belongs to the computer.. there is a UUID connection to the actual hard disk used in the backup.
    Again read the info in pondini. B5 and B6.
    The sparsebundle in use is C12 but there are a number of sparsebundle issues in section C.. C17 is another common issue.
    Some of what you have done is not adequate.. eg disconnecting ethernet is not enough.. you need to reboot the TC.
