EA3500 usb print problem

Sorry for the long message but I've been working on the for 5 days. I bought this router because of the usb print feature.
I have three computers, a laptop running Windows XP, a laptop running Windows Vista, and a desktop running Windows 8.1. All computer communicate with each other and access the Internet fine. I connected my printer to the USB connection on the router and installed the VUSB utility on all 3 computers. The laptops running XP and Vista print just fine.
I cannot print from the Windows 8.1 desktop. When I send something to the printer I can see it in the print queue. I then have VUSB acquire the printer and the document disappears from the queue and all looks normal, but nothing comes out on the printer. I have worked with 4 different chat people at Linksys and they could not nelp. I have reloaded the print drivers, reloaded the firmware on the EA3500, etc. If I connect the printer directly to the 8.1 computer, it prints just fine, but that is not how i want to use it. Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

I finally got someone at Linksys Support that seemed to know what he was talking about. He consulted other engineers and I was told that although the EA3500 is supported on Windows 8.1, the VUSB utility is supported only on Windows 8, and not yet on Windows 8.1. They are working on a fix now and I will be contacted when it is released. One option would be to downgrade from 8.1 to 8 since VUSB is supported on 8. That is not an option for me since my computer came with 8.1 installed. I will manage until the new release of VUSB. It's too bad that none of the people I spent hours with on the Chat Line for 4 days were able to give me that information.

Adhoc network, sharied usb printer problem

i just replaced on of the old powermacs on my adhoc (2 computer) network. i used to use the pm that is were my new imac is to connect to my usb printer. i was then able to print to that printer from both the other powermac and the new imac. i have all my sharing settings set up as i thought they should be, but i have not had any success. please help if you have had this issue. pm is running 10.3.9

Yes, I saw the 'Reset Printing System' suggestion in another thread, but Greg is quite right, it doesn't exist in Panther.
When I add printer in the iBook I select 'Rendevous Printers', as that list does seem to recognise the printer attached to my G5. However, it then asks me to specify a driver, all of which are GIMP drivers (I have the original Epson drivers installed, but have no option to choose them). None of the Gimp drivers seem to match the printer.
I don't understand the difference between Rendevous and Bonjour either, so am not sure exactly what set ups I should be using.
Most grateful for your help on this!

Airport Extreme and USB Printer Problem

I have an Epson printer connected to the USB port of my Airport Extreme. This has worked just fine for years. But from today neither my iMac nor my MacBook Air can "see" the printer any more. I have rebooted everything a couple of times, but still no joy.
I have connected the printer directly to a USB port on my iMac, and all is well, so I guess the problem is not with the printer.
The only thing significant done to my system in recent times is the latest security update, which I installed yesterday.
Can anybody give me a clue as to why this problem has suddenly raised its head after all these years?

Hi bricknell,

AEBS Airport Extreme USB Printer Problem

AEBS recognizes my Canon MX700 on the Printer page, but it shows two lines, one labeled "Canon MX700 series", and the other "Canon MX700 series FAX". The name field for the first label is blank and can't be updated (any entry made here is gone after updating AEBS). The name field for the for the FAX label can be changed and gets updated. From the Print & Fax System Preference panel of my computer, the FAX name entry appears and can be "added," but printing to it does not work (error 311). My MX700 firmware and driver (new CUPS) are up to date, as are specs on my AEBS. Does anyone know what I should do? Thanks!

Hmm... helpful answer, maybe, Duane. I wonder about the two labels though. If it doesn't support the FAX side, then why is it showing a 2nd label for it? Just curious...

USB-printing problems with Canon MF4370dn

No luck getting it work
I get the message: Error:-9672 when adding a printer
Help?

Is it possible that the Graphics update created an incompatibility with the Canon printer driver?
I don't believe so. I performed the Graphics update August 18th and I'm still printing to my MF4380dn.
If the printer icon for the MF4370dn queue looks like an inkjet printer then it sounds like the incorrect printer model was selected during the queue creation. When you create a queue for a Canon UFRII device, the Print Using menu will not auto-complete. Instead you have to manually locate the UFRII driver using the "Select printer software" menu and searching for the respective Canon model.
If you were to select the current print queue and then open the Options & Supplies option, under the Driver tab will be the current printer driver being used. For your model it should show "Canon MF4360-4390 UFRII LT (US)". If it shows a different model, then delete this queue and add the queue again, ensuring you select the correct printer driver. If it is showing the correct driver but still displays an incorrect printer icon then please reply.

Airport Extreme - problem with usb printer and usb disk

I have Airport extreme with firmware 7.1. I try connect usb disk and usb printer with usb-hub to airport. I can't get disk or printer working. Also try connect only disk or printer without usb-hub to airport getting same problem. How I get disk and printer working with wireless network (windows pc computers)?
1)
My printer is HP PSC 1210 all-in-one ( http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?product=90764&lc=fi&cc=fi&dlc=fi&lang =fi&cc=fi&y=0&x=0 )
- printer seems working fine after installing bonjour printer installing wizard.
- I get error (in windows) when I try print document from word. Error only says "error printing" in status value.
- In airport utility all seems ok. Airport see usb printer "Hewlett-Packard psc 1200 series"
- printer protocol is RAW and driver manufacture HP (also try with microsoft driver)
2)
USB disk is Targa Databox II 250
- Airport utility says "Disk needs repair. Errors were found with a disk connected to your airport base station. please connect the usb disk to your mac or pc and use disk utility or another disk application to repair the disk"
- I have connected Targa usb disk to windows pc and run scandisk and defreg. No errors found in windows. Result..no help for airport

I have a similar problem to your second issue. Tried connecting a Netdisk to the USB port of the Airport Extreme and it also said there was a problem with the disk. Have performed a low level format on the disk and Airport Extreme still complained the disk had a problem.
After unplugging the disk, my route decided to stop allowing wireless connections even after rebooting. Ended up having to hard reset the Airport Extreme and reconfigure it with my old settings to work again.
FWIW, the first Airport Extreme I purchased today only worked on 802.11a and steadfastly refused to work on b/g so had to get a replacement. I suspect Apple's quality control is not quite as good as it used to be.

Printing Problems - HP LaserJet 2100 with USB/Parallel adapter - Print jobs 'hang'

Hoping to get some assistance with a persistent and frustrating printing problem.
I've got an older HP LaserJet 2100 that was working great until recently. It doesn't have a USB port on it, so I have it connected to my iMac (21" 3.1 gHz, i7) via a USB/Parallel cable. Up until now I have been forced to us Gutenprint (wss running 5.0.2) as the Apple provided drivers cause the printer to spit out pages upon pages of gibberish.
Recently, when printing the document (or PDF, or whatever) gets sent to the queue, but doesn't seem to fully make it to the printer. For lack of a better term, it 'hangs' at some percent (47%, 82% etc.) in the queue window and doesn't print.
A few further details that are causing me extreme levels of frustration:
I have reset the SMB and this results in being able to print one page normally, then the system returns to the problem above
OSX can see the printer and I have deleted/added it many times
Printing system has been reset multiple times
On a restart, the first page that was trying to print does print out. This sometimes happens when the log-in page appears, sometimes when I log back in to my user account.
The printer is connected directly to my iMac and not through a USB hub.
I have another printer (a new HP Officejet 6600) that works without a problem.
Thanks in advance.

This problem is most likely a deficiency in the parallel-adapter end of that cable. I'd look for another USB-parallel cable.
There used to be a special driver that worked around the limitation of the parallel adapter "data shifter" - but it doesn't appear to be available anymore:

Problem adding EPSON USB printer

I contacted Epson's support about this, then did what they told me to in the reply. As you can probably tell since I'm posting this, it didn't work. Here is the email I sent:
"No matter what I do I cannot get EPSON USB to show up under More Printers in Apple's Printer Utility. I can add the regular driver for the printer to my printers list just fine, but when I try to go into More Printers > EPSON USB to add the Border less and Minimized margins (like I had done previously on a PPC based Mac) the option for EPSON USB from the pull down menu doesn't show up. It only shows EPSON FIREWIRE and EPSON TCP/IP. I have tired reinstalling the driver, resetting the printer system and restarting. I have even reinstalled the whole operating system, but even on a fresh install (and the newest driver installed) EPSON USB still didn't show up in the pull down menu. Please help, I need to get border less printing working again.
I am using a Core2Duo MacBook Pro, Epson Stylus Photo 820, The newest version of the driver (downloaded January 1, 2007), and Mac OS X 10.4.8."
Here is what they returned and what I did:
"Thank you for contacting the Epson Connection.
If you are unable to add your printer even after a complete cleanout and
reinstall, please try the following steps to correct this issue.
1. Open Printer Setup Utility (HD > APPLICATIONS > UTILITIES).
2. At the top of the screen, click the words "Printer Setup Utility" and
choose "Reset Printing System" from the pull-down menu. Confirm resetting.
3. All existing printer listings will be deleted. Try adding your Epson
printer again.
This reset makes the operating system clear all jobs and queues and
reconnect to printer drivers currently in the system.
If the printer's plug-in still cannot be selected to ADD, try the following
as well:
1. Begin on the desktop with no windows open or applications running.
2. Go to FILE and down to FIND.
3. In the SEARCH IN option, select EVERYWHERE.
4. Under SEARCH FOR ITEMS WHOSE select NAME and CONTAINS from the drop
down menu.
5. In the search field type COM.APPLE.PRINT and click FIND.
6. Drag ALL the entries that it finds to the TRASH and empty it. Repeat
steps 2-5 to search again and confirm that all COM.APPLE.PRINT files were
removed. (The second search should have no results. If it does, drag the
results to the trash, empty the trash, and repeat the search a final time.)
7. Restart the computer and go back to the Printer Setup Utility to add
the printer. (Note: The COM.APPLE.PRINT preference files will be re-created
upon restart.)
8. After selecting ADD, you will receive a message stating "NEW PRINTER
DRIVERS DETECTED, WOULD YOU LIKE TO RELOAD THE BROWSER?" Click YES.
We would recommend reinstalling the driver and trying to add the printer.

--Thanks so much.

I'm having problems, too--- my Mac IBoook G4 10.4.8 does not "see"my new Epson flatbed color 58000 dream machine. Now iBook does see the Epson USB cord but not what's at the end of it....
Okay so maybe what has yet to help me, may help you:
I repaired permissions and wow-- there were permissions to repair
I downloaded the shareware, Printer Setup Repair which told me:
"18 missing files/directories found during the verification process. They may be responsible for certain printing problems. Printer Setup Repair cannot replace these items. Please refer to the log file for a list of the missing files/directories. You may need to reinstall OS X to resolve your printing issues. "
I know you did the reinstall (I so don't want to do that, hoping there is some way to just reinstall the printer utility) but perhaps the premissions repair
and maybe even the disk verification may help?
Printer Setup Repair told me things I didn't know-- perhaps it would assist you, too?
Good luck to us. A friend suggested that I may neeed another USB cable---
while my EPSON utility sees the printer, my Mac utility doe not and it may be
about some peculiarities of the USB cable.
Best of luck,

Problems adding USB printer - "Driver not installed" - but it is

Apparently, 10.3.9 has some problems with USB printers. For the record, I had already installed this earlier prior to the upgrade and everything worked fine - but due to crashing due to a faulty power supply - I've had to re-configure everything.
I, and many others in this forum, have found a strange problem when trying to add a printer (And yes, other people have asked about this but I haven't seen any answers at all that are useful. The only possible solution seems to be "upgrade to 10.4" and that is unacceptable. Does Apple check these forums?).
After clicking "add printer" in the utility, the software finds the correct printer (so obviously the physical connection to the printer is OK) and displays it with a question mark over it's icon and "driver not installed" next to it. I can't select this image or text.
After searching for a couple of minutes, a dialogue box pops up saying "New drivers detected. Do you want to reload the browser?" (I assume the printer setup utility is the "browser"?).
I click yes and nothing happens. No PPDs show up in the list. This happens when I select USB as well as Apple Talk from the printer-type pull-down menu.
How can I start printing again?
iMac G5 17" Mac OS X (10.3.9)
iMac G5 17" Mac OS X (10.3.9)

First, welcome to the discussions.
For the record, Apple does not normally respond to these Forums.
You mention (Due to Crashing) Whenever you have an issue with your machine it can disrupt in almost any area, and is normally caused by SOMETHING.
As of right now it would appear you might be chasing your tail.
When you choose to upgrade your Operating System there is No Guarantee that your Printer and it's drivers will work on another completely different Operating System.
Your best bet at this point is to drag all of your printer related folders to the trash, empty your trash, and plug your USB Printer (What KIND) into your machine directly.
Shut your machine clear OFF for a minute or so and do the same to your printer, pull the power adapter from it.
Now plug in your printers Power Adapter, Plug in the USB to your Printer to your computer and restart it.
Take the Disc that came with your printer and re insert it and download the Installation Folder and any utility folder that may come with it.
After you have done this don't try to print, Go directly to your Printer Manufactures Web site and search for the latest updates to your printer and the Operating System you are using.
These will more often than not download to your desktop.
You must drag these to the setup folder and or the utilities folder and then double click them to launch them. after you have completed this your printer should work.
One other thing, If you have Classic and or OS9 on your machine you might have to do the same for OS9 Applications , and Utilities for it to print in Classic. Don

USB Printer connected to EA3500 in Bridge Mode

Hi;
I just put an EA3500 in bridge mode to extend my Verrizon Fios network. In this mode the smart wi-fi interface does not work and you access the unit directly by IP address.
Does anyone know if you can attach a Printer directly to the USB port on the EA3500 when it is in Bridge Mode? I read that this will work when the unit is in infrastructure mode.
Thanks for any thougts.

Hi;
Thank you for you help! I did test this config and I attached a printer to the EA3550 USB port. The interface to the EA3500 via IP address does not show what is connected. My main Verizon router does however. I have 3 connections that could be the printer, however I an not sure if any are the USB attached printer.
Here are the variations I tried:
1) Connect printer to EA3500, power on printer
2) Unpug EA3500, connect printer, power EA3500, power printer
I cannot reach the printer using USB. I presume this feature does not work in Bridge Mode.
Given the price of a new print servers, plus the upcoming Drum replacement, I have deciced to order a new multi function BW laser with built in WIFI and Apple Airprint. I work from home so I need a printer in my office. I have a brother 8710 Multi Function that is great for the family for wireless printing & Scanning, so I ordered another for my office.
I have had Brother products for years and find them to be high quality, reliable and easier to use that HP or other brands.

Setup Problem Airport Express / Window XP/ USB printer

Hello everyone.
I bought an Airport Exress yesterday (802.11n) and try to hook up to USB printer (Samsung CLP 300) but nothing is happening.
Existing Setting
-My base wireless device Linksys (Wireless-G 2.4 GHZ) hookup to the cable modem and computer (Window XP) picks up a base singal thru Linksys WMP54G. Currently all my internet connection works great. The Linksys security setting is WPA-Personal. Also, the address is "assigned by DHCP."
Propsed setting is that I want to achieve. I have tried for serveral hours but it did not work.
-I plugged AX to AC outlet and connected USB to samsung clp 300.
AX sttus lights is Flashing amber. There is no wire connection to internet router.
-Airport Utility does not pick any signal.
-I also tried installing a Bonjour but it did not find any printer.
-Nothing appears on linksys network site survey except my base Linksys.
Please help~ Thank you very much.

My first suggestion is to always remove whatever encryption you are using on your router before you set this up. Temporarily take the encryption off of your Linksys router by going through the GUI interface in a web browser.
In your post, you do not mention if you have used the Airport Utility yet. Have you? This should be loaded onto your computer and you should run it to see if your computer can see the AX. If you can't, then take some ethernet cable and hook it directly to your computer. Run the Utility again.
If you can see it, then follow these instructions:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1731?viewlocale=en_US
It is important that your router if broadcasting its Network Name, or SSID, and that in the Airport Utility that you choose "Join an Existing Network"
Once you unplug the AX, test to see if you can print to your printer. If not, plug your printer into the AX through its USB port. Run Bonjour for Windows. While connected, see if you can print a test page. If so, then disconnect your computer from the AX and try another print job.
The AX takes a minute to establish a connection, so if it starts blinking yellow as soon as you unplug it from your computer, wait a bit. If it turns green, then you should be good to go.
Put your encryption back in this order: you must know what the key code is and you must enter it into the AX first; save; AX will start to blink yellow; secondly, go back to your router and re-enter the same key; save. Wait a minute, and see if the AX turns green.
Try printing a test.
Hope that works. Some printers are tricky with the AX.

EA3500 and usb printer

Hello.
I read this manual Connecting a USB printer through the Cisco VUSB software on a Windows-based computer.
And i have last firmware on device.
But when i run CISCOVUSB, i see empty window and error: server is unavailable.
Firewall if off.
What is wrong?
I have Windows 8.1 and HP M1214

Hi 5exi!
I believe it's not supporting yet Windows 8.1. However, you can select the compatibility that you're going to use.
After downloading the Cisco VUSB on you desktop, right it, choose Compatibility, then select Windows 7 or XP.

Printing problems with hp laserjet cp1515n [found problem]

Dear Arch users,
A couple of weeks ago I installed for the first time an Arch linux on my brand new Dell laptop with an UEFI MB. It took a while until I could understand how UEFI works but eventually I sort it out and got Arch installed. Unfortunatelly there are some small problems to be straiten out. One of them is the fact that printing with my laser printer (see subject line) is not working.
for the last couple of days I was searching through all post I could find around on the internet, mainly here at the Arch forum. Unfortunatelly I could not find anything nearly describing what I am living on my system. Well here is a brief description of what is happening. After installing Arch, I opted for KDE desktop environment and I made the full instalation. After installing additional software (gimp, inkskape, etc.) I needed to install my printer. At first I couldn't get permission. Than reading the Arch tutorial for CUPS, I saw that the 'lp' permission was not setup properly. Well Have done as described there. Then I tryed to install using the GUI from KDE for installing an usb printer and for my surprise there was not such an option. I intalled than de hp-toolbox, and than it was easy to install the printer. It was automatically recognized and everything was there. The problem was, when I open an archive (text, web page, doesn't matter) and send it to print, the spooler went well theoretically sent to printer and then popped up a notification saying printing finished. Opening the printing cue, I can see that the archive was still there and marked as pending. That was the point where I started to search around for potential solutions or similar solutions.
After sudying a lot I came to a conclusions that it probably have something to do with permissions. Unfortunately I could not find out where or which permissions to change in order to get something printed. I found some "debugging" and information commands and I am posting the results here;

The out put from the last command (usb-devices) I only copyed the relevant part from the printer in question.
the couple of last lines of CUPS error.log are;
E [29/Jan/2013:17:44:48 -0200] [Job 14] Stopping unresponsive job.
E [29/Jan/2013:17:52:25 -0200] [Client 14] Request for subdirectory "/admin/log/error_log?".

E [29/Jan/2013:18:16:37 -0200] [cups-deviced] PID 15151 (dnssd) stopped with status 1!
I hope somebody could help me out to find where to change permission (if necessary) or point me out to an different road.
Thanks

OK here am I again.
as mentioned before I created an bogus printer with:
lpadmin -p test -v file:/dev/null
verified the presence of the printer;
lpstat -p
$ lpstat -p
printer Color_LaserJet_cp1515n disabled since Fri 01 Feb 2013 02:55:59 PM BRST -
reason unknown
printer hp930c is idle. enabled since Thu 31 Jan 2013 11:30:21 PM BRST
printer test is idle. enabled since Fri 01 Feb 2013 02:54:57 PM BRST
At first "test" printer was disabled for an uknown reason.
tried to use lpadmin -p test to enable the printer as described on the previusly mentioned web site, but couldn't get to enable printer "test". After reading alittle more on the internet I found the command cupsenable <printer> and indeed it changed the printer status.
tried to print;
echo test | lp -d test
result:
$ echo test | lp -d test
lp: Destination "test" is not accepting jobs.
I tried to change the condition of the Color laser printer but did not made any difference with the cups command.
Conclusion: how can I modify this status to make the printer accept jobs?

Printing problem with .pdf

27" iMac (2012), OS X 10.9.1, Canon MF4770n laser connected by ethernet cable through AirPort Extreme, HP C4200 connected directly via USB
The Problem: I received a .pdf file via e-mail and downloaded it. It consisted of a series of forms in unknown original format. I needed to print them out, sign them and return them. I opened .pdf in Preview but when I tried to print it, I got only blank pages from the printer. The printer seemed to be operating normally in all other respects.
What I have tried:
1. Successfulloy printed material from other applications using the same computer and Canon printer.
2. Successfully printed a different .pdf file from Preview using the same computer and Canon printer.
3. Successfully printed the offending .pdf from Preview on the same computer and the HP ink jet printer.
4. Successfully printed the offending .pdf from Adobe Reader using the same computer and Canon printer.
Since I was able to print the .pdf using Adobe Reader, this problem is not critical but it is rather mysterious. Any suggestions would be appeciated.

*just a heads up - whenever you have problems with a printer
1. stop the print queue on your system
2. shut the printer power off for about a minute to clear any printer memory
3. turn on the printer
4. start the print queue

Airport Extreme Printing Problem with HP Deskjet.

Hello ... I wonder if any helpful folks can assist me with my printing problem? I am using Tiger on a new Intel imac with a HP Deskjet 960C. This printer is listed as having the latest drivers included within Tiger and works perfectly when connected via USB so my problem I guess is not with the software....I have disconnected everything and plugged everything back together again. I also deleted the printer from the printer list within the Printer Setup Utility application.... The imac recognisies the printer and upon pressing the print button everything feels as though its just going to work. The blue barber shop scroll appears but the printer fails to kick into gear and I get the big red exclamation mark appearing in the status box .... I would really love to try and sort this annoying error ... Any ideas? Thanks. Book G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Hello jds17. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Unfortunately, not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations.
Take a look at one of these iFelix Unofficial AirPort Printer Compatibility links, depending on which AirPort base station you have:
o 802.11g AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) or AirPort Express Base Station (AX)
o 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn)
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 may find the following Apple article helpful.
