Epson NX400 & Airport Extreme not printing.

I have an Epson NX400 connected to my (brand new) Airport Extreme and am unable to get the printer to work unless I connect my Toshiba Satellite laptop to the Airport via Ethernet cable. I have run the Bonjour wizard and it sees the printer just fine. When i begin a print job, i can see that the location of the printer is listed as "Airport Extreme" and I have run the Airport Utility and it also saw the printer and lists it as present. I have "Sharing" enabled on my printer properties also.
I can only get it to print if im connected via Ethernet. I am at a loss now as to what to do. Everything else works just fine, Internet, two hard drives.

How totally strange. I was experiencing the same problem since approx. 12-12. AE would no longer recognize that a USB printer was plugged into it. Used the unplug and plug back in suggestion and everything is now working fine and the printer is recognized.
My question now is this: What would cause this to happen to a number of different people in differing parts of the country all at approx. the same time? Was some signal sent to our AEs that disabled the printing function? Just seems a bit weird that the first post I see when I go to check the discussion boards just happens to be about my very problem.

    I am not able to print to my usb airport extreme attached printer from my windows aptop or window desktop

    Your post did not really provide any details on what you have done in the way of troubleshooting or printer software that you have installed, so we don't have much to go on here.
    For starters though, you will not be able to print unless you have installed Bonjour Print Services for Windows v2.0.2 on the PC(s) and run the program.
    So, if you have not done this, that would be a good first step.

  • Nas on airport extreme not recognized by time machine. same nas was previously used as time machine backup on different airport extreme. are there any configuration files that i can delete to fix this problem ?

    nas on airport extreme not recognized by time machine. same nas was previously used as time machine backup on different airport extreme. are there any configuration files that i can delete to fix this problem ?

    Time Machine has been working just fine, but in the last week or two it has given up the ghost. I reset the connections to the drive, and it will basically save a few bytes of data and then hang.
    Although Apple originally announced, prior to the release of the first 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Stations (AEBSn), that it would support Time Machine backups to AirPort Disks, they removed that option before they did finally release the base station for sale.
    Since then, Apple has posted (as you have noted) that they DO NOT support Time Machine backups to AirPort Disks. As far as I know, they have not changed from that position and those who do these backups find that they become corrupted over time. Sorry, but it sounds like you just confirmed that for yourself.
    1) Has one of the recent updates either on the AE (firmware) or OSX disabled this function?
    No. Again, this feature has never been supported by Apple for every generation of AEBSn released.
    2) Are there any changes I can make to get this working again?
    If your data backups are critical to you, then you will want to use a different solution for your Time Machine backup destination drive strategy. I would suggest that you connect your WD My Book directly to your Mac in the mean time.
    Your other options would be to either use a Time Capsule (which interestingly does support TM backups to AirPort Disks) or a non-Apple solution like the Drobo FS or HP MediaSmart server.

  • Why does my airport extreme not recognize my cable modem anymore?

    Why does my airport extreme not recognize my cable modem anymore?

    Have you tried resetting the modem? Power it down and let it rest a moment, then power it back up again.
    Also, some ISPs require physically detaching their cable from the modem for it to be fully reset. Literally unscrew it from the modem. Try that, in conjunction with powering it down.
    Don't do anything with your Extreme, other than powering it down too, in the event the modem reset does not help. Reconfiguring it may be necessary but this is not justified quite yet.

  • From iPad how do I use airport extreme to print to Epson R340

    Can't print from my iPad through Airport Extreme to my Epson R340 printer.  Have no problem printing from my macbook air.

    Unfortunately, it appears that your Epson is not AirPrint compatible. See the Apple support document below for more details.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
    It's always possible that Epson may have updated the drivers recently to allow printing directly from the iPad, so you might want to check with Epson Support to see if that is the case.
    A workaround that might work is to downloand and install an application like Printopia on your Mac. There's a free trial, so you will know in about 60 seconds whether this work for you or not.
    The downside to the workaround is that your Mac must be running to allow the iPad to print using Printopia.

  • TS1253 i have airport extreme, and printer works with my imac, but not with my mac book pro??

    i tried setting up the printer under my wireless network only, and using the printer information, tried both and nothing works, my imac's same settings for the printer, and just cant get it to work.
    i am ussing airport extreme, and it shows printer conecting etc. but then it says not programed correctly and it fails.
    i dont know what else to try, i have followed every step on the manual, and nothing works..
    someone help me

    Could you open System Profiler on the iMac and the MBPro and select the Printers entry. Then in the top right pane you can select the printers entry and the bottom right pane will show information about your setup. Can you copy this information from both Mac's and paste back here.

  • Airport extreme usb printer does not show on macbook

    I have been trying to set-up a printer on a Airport Extreme through the USB cable.  However, the printer does not show under "Printers and Scanners" and the help on-line has not helped at all. 

    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 this iFelix 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.

  • Epson R1900 Printer Installed with Airport but not printing

    I just installed my new Epson R1900 Printer and it says that it is online and recognized but when I send something to print it comes up in the queue and then disappears and doesn't print. The printer isn't idle or anything like that though, it still says ready.

    I am guessing that using the card reader function also falls into the category of "advanced features" of the printer. I could not find a way to read my CF when plugged in to my Epson Stylus CX6000.
    To solve the problem, I actually did unplug it from the Time Capsule and used it directly, only to reconnect it with the TC when I was done. Not convenient at all. Any word on whether Apple is working on this, or not? Or any other solutions?
    In researching this issue through the Apple pages, I found that initially the Airport did not support a USB hub (single printer only), but now a powered USB hub is supported. A good sign that things do change for the better.

  • Airport Extreme Wireless Printing with Snow Leopard Not Working

    I have two base stations in my home office: an Airport Express that's connected to the cable modem, and an older Airport Extreme (A1034) that's connected to my printer on the other side of the room. They were networked together so that I could go online or print wirelessly without a problem, until I upgraded to Snow Leopard. Now I can go online, and I can print directly from a USB cable to my HP printer, but I can't print wirelessly. The Extreme doesn't seem to show up at all in Airport Utility. Is there a way to get this to work again? Thanks.

    Yes, I do have the latest drivers. I can print directly to the printer through USB. I don't seem to be able to access the Airport Extreme base station though.

  • Airport Extreme USB Printing NOT working

    I got an HP Photosmart 8450 connected thru USB to an Airport Extreme, version 7.3.2. On the other side, an iMAC. I can see the printer thru the airport utility, but just can't print. Printing thru airport USB port has always been a nightmare to me. When I connect the printer directly to the iMAC USB port it works just fine, but then I can't share with the rest of the computers at home..
    Any good hints from anyone?

    G'Day, had the same problem wit hmy HP PSC2410. Go to http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1253 and follow trouble shooting list. I had to do all of them before i could print wirelessly but it worked. Hope this helps.
    It took me 10 days of frustration, and i was ready to throw the Airport, the imac, and the pc out the window, but one of the people from this discussion site posted this to me and it worked.
    Let me know how you get on.
    Cheers

  • I'm trying to get my new airport extreme to print wirelessly to my samsung clx usb printer and not having any luck.  I downloaded the bonjour print wizard and I know there's a signal going to the printer, but it still will not print?  Any ideas?

    I'm trying to wirelessly print to my samsung printer.  I've downloaded the bonjour printer wizard and could tell that a signal was going to my printer but it still would not print.  Anyone have any ideas?

    You didn't state how it's connected to each computer, if it's connected through your router then it should work. If it doesn't then you need to contact Canon and ask for assistance.

  • Airport Extreme with Printer and HD

    I am new to Mac and have been plugging along since Christmas trying to figure everything out. Right now what I am trying to do is set up my Airport Extreme 802.11n router with a USB hub so that I can plug a Western Digital 500gb My Book formatted in fat32 and an Epson printer. I plugged the USB hub into the back of the AE and then plugged the HDD and the Printer into the hub. The Epson printer works great but I can not get the HDD to work. When I go into the Airport Utility>Manual Setup>Disk it sees the HDD and tells me how much memory is on there and when I go into the file sharing tab I have enabled file sharing with disk password. Now from my understanding I need to use the Air Disk utility to access the HDD and when I click on that under the utilities folder both boxes are checked but there is no hard drive in the screen, nothing for me to click on. I have spent a couple of days researching the problem and can't seem to figure out the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Nevermind I figured it out. I thought there would be a hard drive looking device under shared but it was the airport extreme. I am an idiot.

  • New airport extreme and printer issues

    OK here is the deal
    I have the new airport and a hp psc 750 printer. I have a new macbook which can not print on this printer. It will recognize it thru bonjour but will not install the driver - the odd thing is that I have a pc connected directly and a windows based wireless laptop which both are able to print via this airport. I also have an external hard drive that is connected to the airport. All of the computers are able access this drive. So all appears in order except for the macbook-printer issue. I contacted tech support and they claimed driver issue. Anyone have any ideas - I have updated the most recent drivers for this computer and I was able to install this printer via a usb connection. Thanks

    There have been a few posts about issues with HP printers working or not working as the case may be through the extreme. I can't remember what they say, but a search for HP in this forum may well help you.
    Sorry to be so vague, just thought it might be a start for you.

  • Airport Extreme Sharing printer to Leopard and Windows 7 via Ethernet port.

    Hello!
    My home office is in a mixed environment, 1 iMac with Leopard 10.5.8, and the other iMac running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on bootcamp. Both computers are connected to the Airport Extreme (dual band version, firmware 7.4.2) via Ethernet. I attached the HP LaserJet P1006 to the Airport's usb port in order to share the printer to both platforms.
    My problem is that, I got the printer installed on Win 7 by using bonjour print service v2.02 without any problem as it said works in both Ethernet and wireless, I sent a print test from win 7 successfully, then I did another test from leopard ( as I presumed it should works also), however, it says "the printer is in use". and wouldn't print. I tried restart the Airport Extreme and tried print from leopard again and that was fine but then Win 7 couldn't print.
    Is there any solution for Mac + Win environment like my description? If I have 2 computers running on OS X they print perfectly well. Thanks all!
    My solution for now is to physically plugging the printer to where I need to print from. I use Ethernet wired both computers is because I want to take the advantage of the gigabyte lan port for speedy files transfer between both computers.

    If networking isn't working out for you, you may want to try out a swtich. Best Buy sells one by IOGEAR that allows for two USB connections to tie into one computer. So long as windows 7 can either download its own driver for the printer for basic features, or if you want to download canon's driver this solution will work. The only draw back is having to bring the laptop near the printer when you need to print.

  • Airport extreme and Printing : a solution that works for me

    I post a new topic in order to avoid people going throught various topics.
    _Explanation of the problem I had :_
    When I plugged directly my printer (xerox 6110) to the usb of my PowerBook it worked fine. When I connected the same printer with the same cable to the usb port of my airport extreme (square model), I was Apple to install it throught bonjour on my laptop and my IMac. But I was only able to print trhourght textedit, and not throught word, excel, safari, etc. When printing from this application, after a while I had a page print with a timeout problem.
    Solution (thanks to the following post : http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1201663&tstart=0 )
    After trying drivers, and lot of other things, I tried what suggested in the topice above : I changed my USB cable that was connecting my AE to my printer : and now IT WORKS.
    It is strange because I was able to print directly throught USB using the same cable, but not using my AE.
    But anyway It work now !! This is the most important ! a lot of thanks for your help.
    Hope it will help some of you

    Ohhhh, Silly, silly moi. Ok, got it. Now I see "Partition". Thanks! Will try again. Downloading Windows support software as I type.
    Thank you.
    One more thing - while attempting installation the first time (before I stumbled on this thread) - I looked up YouTube re how to create a USB bootable ISO (which included editing the info.plist file in Boot Camp Assistant).
    When I tried installing 8.1 from the ISO, the installation aborted saying "cannot find resources" (something like that) - this occured after the first stage, i.e. while "preparing files to install Windows".
    Assuming I get this again (I hope not!), is it because of a corrupted ISO?
