Connecting a Printer to USB and AirPort Express Simultaneously

I have a Samsung laserprinter - the only connection on it is USB. I currently have this connected to a XP laptop.
Aswell as connecting it to my XP laptop, I wish to share the printer around the house. The other computers around the house are a combination of Macs and PCs.
It sounds like a strange request - but - I want to be able to connect the printer to my laptop and to the airport express (for the sharing part) at the same time.
I notice around the web that there are several devices you can buy, which are effectively USB 'splitters' for connecting a USB printer to 2 USB computers at the same time.
Could I use one of these 'splitters' in conjunction with the AirPort Express? In that way, I'd be able to connect the XP laptop to the printer via USB, and the rest of the house would share via the USB/Airport connection.
(Incase anyone asks, the XP laptop is on a different LAN network to the rest of the house, hence the problem).
Has anyone tried this? If so, can anyone recommend a make/model of such a 'splitter' that is proven to work with the AirPort Express?
(Or even better, maybe there is a device out there somewhere that does this without having to buy 2 devices).
Thanks,
Brad

USB is not designed to have two controllers at a given time. Therefore I would not trust one of these devices. It may damage the USB port on your laptop or the AirPort Express (AX).

  • AirClick USB and Airport Express?

    I was wondering....
    It would be nice to change iTunes tracks in the living room instead of going to the office and doing it
    If i connect an AirClick USB reciever in the AE USB port, can i control the speakers which are also connected to AE. Basiclly i would have speakers connected to AE, playing music from iTunes and wanting to control using the Airclick remote?
    I know by plugging the AirClick USB reciever into my computer it works, as the remote is designed to control iTunes/ QT/ Keynote wirelessly.

    Griffen's AirClick USB won't work in this manner - its receiver must be plugged into a computer and won't work when plugged into the Airport Express.
    There is a product that is designed specifically for this purpose - the Keyspan Express Remote.

  • Wireless Connectivity problem between BT HomeHub and AirPort Express

    Hi Guys,
    I'm new here, and have just bought my 1st Apple product!
    I'm afraid I haven't had a very good start though, and would really appreciate some assistance please.
    My problem is with connecting my Apple AirPort Express ("APX") to my BT HomeHub ("BTHH") wirelessly, whilst also being able to use the internet. I can only get the internet to work, whilst also streaming music from itunes to APX, by connecting the APX to the BTHH via an Ethernet cable. Perhaps I should state my equipment:
    *Room #1*
    Computer: Laptop
    Operating System: Windows XP, Service Pack 2
    Modem: BT Homehub (the curved version with blue lights)
    Above Connection Method: Wireless.
    *Room #2*
    Hi-Fi (Linn)
    Apple AirPort Express
    Above Connection Method: Digital (mini to regular toslink).
    *What I Want:*
    - To be able to wirelessly connect to the internet (PC to BTHH)
    - To be able to wirelessly stream music to the APX from iTunes
    - to be able to do both of the above simultaneously.
    Problem:
    Once my laptop has found the APX network, as soon as I then connect to it, my BTHH internet connection disappears. or the APX disappears and I have to do a factory restet before my computer can discover it again. (It leaves me having access to only one network or the other). Hence, I cannot stream music to the AirPort and use the internet simultaneously. One or the other. I am trying to "Join an Existing Network" via the AirTunes software.
    Very depressed as I don't know much about networking and had hoped it would just configure automatically. I have fiddled but it always loses the presence of the AirPort altogether until I do a factory reset for it to reappear as an available wireless network again.
    Please please help a struggling newby - anybody got an idiot's, step-by-step guide to the perfect settings? thank you to anybody who can assist.

  • How to setup ADSL moden router and Airport Express 802.11n (1st Generation) to provide internet and airplay connections to multiple devices?

    I have a Netgear wireless ADSL modem router (wireless + four ethernet out ports)  that i'd like to connect to a 1st gen Airport Express to create a small home network to provide internet access for a MacBook, iPhone and Apple TV, and to provide Airplay connection to the Apple TV and Airport Express audio output jack.
    I'd like to turn off the wireless function of the ADSL modem router, and to have from one of its ethernet out ports an ethernet cable providing internet directly connected to my MacBooks ethernet port.
    Then from one of the other ethernet outs on the ADSL modem router an ethernet cable connected to the Airport Express's ethernet port. This would be to provide wireless internet connection for the Apple TV and iPhone via WiFi from the AE.
    At the same time as the MacBook is receviing internet soley via the ethernet in port, i'd like it to have WiFi connection to the AE to provide Airplay connection to the Apple TV and the AE's audio out jack.
    Is this all possible? How should I go about to configure this? How should the AE's ethernet port be configured?
    Any special modes the ADSL modem router or Airport Express should be in? ie bridge or client?
    Thanks

    On the ADSL modem router web-based interface, should I set any security setting? I think not as there'll be no wireless signal coming from it, only wired ethernet connections to both MacBook and AE. Security should only be set on the AE to prevent someone from accessing its WiFi signal. Is this assumption correct?
    These are all correct!
    How should I go about setting up security for this network?
    First I would recommend that you configure the AirPort Express for WPA2 Personal. This will provide you with the greastest level of security while still providing excellent bandwidth performance.
    You would configure wireless security for the Express by using the AirPort Utility on a Mac, PC, or iOS device. Using your MacBook Pro as an example, you would do so as follows:
    Run the AirPort Utility.
    Select the Express, and then, click on Edit.
    Select the Wireless tab to enable it.
    Set the Wireless Security option to: WPA2 Personal
    Enter the desired password in both the Wireless Password & Verify Password fields. Note: Use of a "strong" password is encourage here. By strong, I mean use a mix of upper/lowercase letters, numbers, & punctuation marks. Try not to use common dictionary words. If you operate your wireless in an area where security is of an utmost concern, I would further suggest that you change the wireless security password every 60-90 days. Also don't forget to change the default AirPort Base Station Administrator password as well.
    Click on Update and allow the Express to restart.

  • Hard drive, printer, PS3, etc to Airport Express

    Hi guys.  I have a few devices that I want to hook up somehow but am not quite sure how to go about it.  I have some knowledge but when people provide highly technical responses, I sometimes get lost in it all so please go easy on me.    I've already read several threads and I think I've gotten myself completely turned around so I thought I would ask you fine people.
    For what it's worth, I have the old style of Airport Express that does NOT have the ethernet output port though that woud help to simplify things a bit if I did.
    I currently have an Airport Express, a USB hard drive, a PS3, a macbook and a printer (non-wireless).  I'd like to somehow get everything hooked up and playing well with each other.  Currently the Macbook and AE work together just fine as does the iPhone.  That's great. 
    The PS3 connects to the AE wirelessly as well but I'd like to find a way to get the PS3 connected to the internet via ethernet cable instead to speed it up a bit though this isn't a life or death sort of situation at all.  I'm also not sure if doing so would make it so that my macbook couldn't stream to it wirelessly for movies and such.... ok... I've just answered my own question on that one.  Nevermind the PS3 part.  Wireless it is. 
    Now, the trouble that I'm having is logistics about where things have to be in my apartment.  I have one cable outlet so the cable modem and airport express have to be in one particular corner.  There is not room to put the printer over there too so I can't connect the printer directly to the airport express.  I also know that I can't connect the hard drive to the AE directly (as much as I wish that were possible).  What is the simplest and most affordable way that I can somehow get the printer AND the hard drive to be available wirelessly on my network while not at all being in the same physical location of my apartment?  They'd need to be on the other side of the apartment.
    I am ok with the idea of needing to add another device to handle the hard drive and printer (ie another wireless modem) though I don't know what would necessarily work with the existing AE well or what I should be looking for.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Here are some facts to consider:
    1) Hard drive
    The AirPort Express will not support a hard drive at its USB port. You need an AirPort Extreme for that type of functionality.
    2) PS3
    As you already know, in order to connect the PS3 using Ethernet, you will need the "new" AirPort Express with both a WAN and LAN port. The PS3 would connect to the LAN <-> port. An AirPort Extreme would work as well for this, as it provides 3 LAN ports.
    3) USB Printer
    The USB cable of the printer must connect to the USB port on the AirPort Express.
    If you cannot locate the printer close enough to the Express to be able to connect to it, you will not be able to use the printer that you have.
    In that case, consider a wireless printer to connect to the network wirelessly. Then, you can locate the printer anywhere you want as long as it is in range of the wireless signal.
    I have one cable outlet so the cable modem and airport express have to be in one particular corner.
    Leave the cable modem where it is. You can run an Ethernet cable any length that you need from the modem to the AirPort, so you can locate the AirPort anywhere the Ethernet cable will go. Cables come in 10 feet, 25 feet, 50 feet etc lengths in any color that you want.
    For example, my modem is in the garage. The AirPort is in my office about 60 feet away.
    Bottom line.....it sounds like you need an AirPort Extreme to handle the hard drive and the USB printer. You can use one of the 3 LAN ports to connect the PS3, and still have 2 available ports for future expansion.

  • Wireless Modem and Airport Express USB Printer

    I am already connected to the internet via a wireless modem provided by my ISP. The connection uses Airport. I just purchased an Airport Express to connect my computer to a printer through the USB port. However, I can't get the airport utility to connect to the Airport Express solely for the purpose of connecting to the printer. I have tried to make the new aiport express both a new network and part of an existing wireless network with no sucess. I sitll have a flashing yellow light on my Airport Express. I have not connected the wireless modem to the Airport Express. Do I have to connect the airport express to the modem? Help!

    Hi Andrew Otis:
    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    You'll need to configure your AE via the Airport Admin Utility to Join an Existing Wireless Network, then select the name of your network in the drop down box or enter it EXACTLY as the SSID is broadcasting your network Name. You may also have to configure wireless security if you wireless modem has that enabled.
    I hope this helps!

  • Wireless printer and airport express

    I have an HP officejet 7410 "all in one" printer that use to connect to my Imac wirelessly just fine but now I have to connect it to the usb cable to get it to print. my family has 4 mac bookpro's also and its hit or miss whether or not they will print so would it be best for me to shut everything off, connect an airport express to my modem and then restart everything? I'm just tired of fooling with it and know there must be a better way? Thanks!

    You can connect your printer via USB to the USB port on an AirPort Express or Extreme and share them throughout your network.

  • Cannot print or scan with USB printer over wifi from airport express / time capsule wifi

    Hi everybody,
    I have recently set up time capsule connected to the router from the telephone company but created a new wifi network for the time machine to better work. Now I have bought an airport express to be able to use my USB printer over the WIFI network. I have to laptops, the printing works fine over the mac book air but not over the macbook pro. On top of that I cannot scan with either of the devices.
    I have scanned most of the information out there but this issue seems not to be addressed properly anywhere. Advices given do always repeat itself but no solution worked for me.
    Now I have plugged the usb from the printer directly back into mac book pro and the problem seems to persist here too. The message I receive everywhere is this one:
    The software for the printer was installed incorrectly.
    Would you like it to be repaired?
    When I hit the Repair button a notice says 'repairing permissions' but nothing really happens. In the end nothing has been printed.
    Resetting the printing systems has not really changed anything either. The problems persist.
    This is the screen I get when the printer is directly plugged in through USB:
    Result: printer recognised and installed, I cannot print (The software for the printer was installed incorrectly), but I can scan (probably because of the hint ('multifunction')
    When I try to install the printer through the network connection (wifi network over time capsule and airport express) I get this image:
    Result: printer recognised over bonjour but without multifunction (in other words without scanning), I cannot scan nor print (The software for the printer was installed incorrectly)
    As I already mentioned any solution I found online would not work. Now the qustions are:
    1) why can't I print? The drivers seem to be there but somehow broken, and I don't know how to repair it
    2) why can't I scan over wifi? It sould possible that any function that can be performed over cable should also be able to performable over air, right?
    I would very much appreciate any kind of help.
    Thank you in advance,
    Cris

    What's up doc?
    HP has not provided "network" drivers to allow advanced features when the the All-in-One is connected to the USB port on the Time Capsule.
    Therefore, only the printing function is supported when the All-in-One is connected to the Time Capsule's USB port.
    If you need advanced features like fax, copy, scan, maintenance etc., you will need to connect over the WiFI network, or connect the All-in-One directly to your computer.

  • Printer not working with Leopard and Airport Express

    Hello!
    I have seen that this is a common problem but I've tried several solutions that seemed to work for others but still not for me.
    I have a Macbook Pro unibody and airport express with OS X 10.5.6. I used a Samsung CLP-300 wirelessly though my airport express (with Tiger on my older macbook). The printer works fine when it is plugged into my USB on the Macbook but not on the airport.
    Here is what I've tried in the past 8 months:
    - update the Samsung printer driver
    - used "fixairport"
    - configured HP IP with airport local address
    - spent 2 hours on the phone with apple
    None of this seemed to work. The printer will print the first page and then any subsequent pages it gives me an error host message.
    If anyone can give me an idea of what did work for them in this situation, or maybe I'm doing something wrong, please let me know. It would be greatly appreciated.
    Steph

    kelscan, Welcome to the discussion area!
    You need to reconfigure your AirPort Express (AX) so that it joins the wireless network provided by the "modem". Follow the directions in KB 302153, AirPort Express: How to join an existing wireless network in client mode.

    Exactly my point: it's not a problem of not having the right printer, it's a matter of iOS not allowing it because Air Print is blocking it, probably because of a deal with HP.
    But, I've solved the problem so now I can print from my iMac, my Mac Air, my iPhone and my iPad. No thanks to the folks at Apple who purposely blocked that functionality.
    Can you print from your iPad directly to the printer without involving an intervening computer, yes or no.

  • Connecting wireless modem and airport express

    I currently run internet with an old Motoirola Sideboard cable modem and Airport Express - previous version. All runs well. Now my Optus provider has upgraded my service with a Premium account for higher speed. They have also given me a free wi fi Cisco modem - DPQ3925. How can I replace my old Motorola modem and still maintain Air play etc with my new modem using Airport Express. I need to know exactly wire per wire help - please, if possible - Thanks

    Hi - I have a similar issue.
    I have a new macbook pro, ATV (3rd Gen) and AXn (purely for Airplay of itunes).
    All three are wirelessly connected to my HG556a Huawei WiFi Router.
    The Macbook pro and ATV work fine and can see each other for airplay mirroring and itunes.
    The AX connects and comes up in Airport Utility (AU) and itunes shortly after you turn it on, but if you either dont use it or stop using it and switch to ATV or whatever it dissapears from itunes and AU says it cant find it. Randomly the light on the AX stays green the whole time.
    I have to switch the AX off and on to get it back working again (i.e. itunes and AU can see it).
    Following other forum posts I've set the AX up by hard connecting it to my router, setting a static iP and reserving ports 5353 and 3689 to that address. I've also turned off ipv6 or whatever using the networksettings Terminal code string. I have also repaired permissions with disk utility!
    It still dissapears from available options in iTunes and AU. ideas?

  • How do airport extreme and airport express routers connect to modems?

    I've heard that airport extreme and airport express are wifi routers, not modems. if they are routers, they need to connect to my modem. Do they connect using a wire or wirelessly?

    It must be connected to your modem with an Ethernet cable.

  • What is the best printer to buy for Airport Express printing?

    Help! I need a new printer.
    Required features:
    • under $300
    • multi-function (fax not required)
    • auto-document feeder
    • prints 2 sided
    • USB to Airport Express, or itself be wireless printer--(bluetooth seems to not have the range I need: 35-60 feet)
    • affordable ink
    • photo printing a plus, not required
    • color printing a plus, not required.
    I bought a Canon PIXMA MP780 only to discover that it is incompatible with Airport Express! The PIXMA MP750 seems an option (for printing only--Airport seems not to work with Scanning). But the 750 seems to be all but unavailable anymore.
    I am considering upgrading from my old iBook G3 600mHz to a PowerBook G4, but this shouldn't make much difference regarding which printer to buy.
    Any help? What printers have worked well for you?

    Obviously I would prefer to be able to use scanning over the wireless, but I am content to plug it in directly as needed, especially if there were a second USB port on the printer.
    Do you know this Brother machine you suggest? Do you recommend it? Does it have all the features I mention above?
    Do you know the Canon MP750? I am told it does print through Express.
    Thanks for your help.

    Do you want all functions of your new all-in-one
    printer be accessible over a wireless connection, or
    are you content to live with wireless printing but
    plugging the printer directly into your Mac's USB
    port each time you want to scan something? For all
    functions to work over a wireless connection you
    really need a network-ready all-in-one printer - and
    finding a good one that costs under $300 could be a
    real challenge (the Brother MFC-420CN is one of the
    few).

  • Some basic question of Airport Extreme and Airport Express

    As I know, my G4PB is installed Airport Extreme and it seems like working wireless Internet connection during travel. But which case do I need additional things like Airport Express (if I undestand this wireless technology correctly)?

    blue sky,If all really depends on what you are trying to achieve.
    If you wish to surf the Internet when you're out and about then you can just walk in to Starbucks, for example, and log-in - you already have all that is required.
    If you want to use the Internet wirelessly at home then the Apple Extreme Base Station, an Airport Express or much cheaper 3rd party gear can help (although some additional hardware may be required dependimg on how you connect to the Internet).
    If you want to surf wirelessly, stream music from iTunes to your home Hi-Fi and use a USB printer wirelessly then the Airport Express is the puppy.
    If you need to share an Internet connection as well as a network with many wired and wireless users then the Airport Extreme Base Station could help.
    Try reading the Airport Page to consolidate your ideas of what you want to achieve, or use this home networking wizard.
    Either way you should be aware that you don't have a Powerbook Titanium (On a Ti the ports are tidy on the back under a neat cover and it has a slim 1" thin design) but rather you have a PB Aluminium (ports scattered on either side and it's approx 1.25" thick!)
