Error 9672 when trying to print using airport extreme

I have just purchased a new imac running os x 10.5.1 and an airport extreme base station. I have a canon pixma mp530 printer and have on occasions successfully printed using the printer with the airport extreme but it has been inconsistent and I have never been able to locate the printer drivers in the utilities folder. So I thought I would download the latest drivers located in the canon website claiming that they were os x 10.5.1 compatible. Now I am unable to add the printer to my printer list in the finder as I get a 9672 error message and my screen freezes and I still have no printer in the utility folder. I have a ibook running tiger and the printer when connected to both the ibook and the imac using a firewire works perfectly. Has anyone else had these problems using a printer wirelessly or is there something I am missing. The internet works with base station with no problems.

Despite being a total newbie, I good the damned thing to work--At least for now.
I first unplugged the airport and then the printer. Plugged them both back in and then went to Canon's site to redownload the drivers. Restarted the Macbook pro and to my astonishment it worked. Again, at least for now.....

"communication error" reading when trying to print using my canon mp560. How do I print?

I am unable to print. I receive a message stating "commuication error". I am able to print using a non-apple computer so I know that the wireless option is working on the printer. Any suggestions?

Getting Error -9672 when trying to add printer wirelessly

Hi,
I seem to be getting an error -9672 when trying to add my HP PSC 1410 wirelessly to my airport network. I've tried on my intel iMac and my mac book but I'm getting the same error. Any suggestions on how to solve this?
ANY help is much appreciated.
Matt.

Unfortunately, not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations. A quick look at the iFelix Unofficial AirPort Printer Compatibility List doesn't show this particular model. This 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.

I am getting a "connection timeout" message when trying to access my Airport Extreme with various laptops, Play Station 3 and Wii. My Airport Extreme is about a month old; it was working fine until about a week ago. Suddenly, the "timeout" is not allowing me to connect to my wireless network.

It could be that there's a new source of interference.

Did you remember to completely power cycle the entire network?
You would want to do this after any update or change to the network.
If you did not do this yet......things are out of sequence.
Power off everything on the network.....all devices.....power down order is not important
Wait a few minutes
Start the modem first and let it run a minute or two by itself
Start the next device connected to the modem the same way
Work your way out on the network starting each device about a minute apart
Check the network

Error -31000 when trying to print

I've recently started getting an error message that says, "Error: pstopdffilter/pstocupsraster failed with err number -31000" whenever I try to print. I've tried recreating the PDF file, using Reader X instead of Reader 9, and restarting the printer with no luck. I can print as an image, but that takes a LOT longer to print a multipage file. Any suggestions?

Error 9672 when adding USB printer with bonjour

I cannot get the printer to be added. Everytime it says an error occured #9672.
I have done all the suggested options to get the printer to add. It is recognized in the add list, and does everything up to adding it to the network, but the error pops up.
I have updated airport extreme to the newest version.
macbook pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

What is the printer make & model that you are connecting to the USB port of the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn)?
You may want to double-check this iFelix site to see if it's compatible with the AEBSn.

Reinstall or update your Lexmark printer driver.

I keep getting an error message when trying to print.

When trying to print a pop up box keeps telling me I need to purchase Pages. I already have purchased it. I did have the trial version does it need to be deleted? The 30 day trial has been long gone and I purchased Pages months ago. Never had a problem until tonight. I do notice when I go into launchpad there are 2 pages icons??? Any help??? Thanks!

This behavior was described here many times.
Apple delivered a technote about that.
Go to my public BOX (address below)
Download :

other_iWork'09 items ›
uninstall iWork '09.zip
Expand the archive then run the script.
After that, reinstall the application (or the entire package)
If you bought Pages thru the Mac App Store, there is no need to pay one more time.

HP Deskjet 3550 cannot print using Airport Extreme via USB connection on Windows 7 64 bits

Product Name and Number: HP Deskjet 3550 Inkjet Printer
Operating System installed: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bits
Error message: None
Any changes made to your system before the issue occurred: Setting up HP printer using Airport Utility to add a new printer and installed Bonjour Print Wizard.
Problem: My printer is already set up using Airport Utility. When I print something, the printer doesn't do anything. Is there something I haven't done lately in order to get this printer working using my wifi router?
Suggestion #1: Are the print jobs getting stuck in the print queue? You can check this by clicking on the printer icon in your task tray by the clock.
Error Message #1: Yes, the print job got stuck in the print queue, but the moment, it disappeared from the print queue and the printer doesn't print at all. This is frustrating.
Suggestion #2: Does the printer work as expected if you connect it directly to the PC via USB?
Error Message #2: Yes, the printer works if I connect it directly to my PC via USB, but I don't understand why it wouldn't work with the wifi router, though.
Suggestion #3: This has to do with the way the router handles the connection to the printer. I found another thread, regarding this issue, and it has some information that may help resolve it.
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-Networking-and-Wireless/Print-Problem-Using -USB-Printer-on-Airp...
If that does not help, I would recommend posting on the Apple forums, as they may have more expertise with the router's abilities:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/wireless/airport
Error Message #3: After clicking on the first link that you posted, it was very helpful, but the printer couldn't print completely and somehow it would stop at the quarter of a paper. It looks incomplete when I took it out from my printer. It does that every time.

UPDATE!
Problem solved! So this is just a followup in case someone else ever stumbles into these boards with the same or similar problems as mine, that is, trying to run an HP Deskjet D1500 series printer [mine's a D1520] on an Airport Extreme wifi router's USB port as a network printer [with the Airport Extreme controlled by an ancient G4 PowerMac Quicksilver currently running OS X 10.4.11).
Although it probably SHOULDN'T matter, since this type of printer works fine with just the Tricolor cartridge as shipped when hooked up directly to a computer's USB port, on a hunch I got a black HP cartridge (that's a type 21, not type 22 as I had earlier said), slapped it in, tried a test page, and all's well. So, we can call off the technoid hounds. Everything running perfectly.
I hope this message in a bottle may help someone else out there some day soon who may be scratching his or her head with a similar stumper. And just to recap those important Windows printer settings, they are:
* [Printer Properties--> Ports--> Add New Port...] "Standard TCP/IP Port"
* [Configure Port] IP Address "10.0.1.1" and Port "9100"
Best of luck!

Getting an Error:-9672 when trying to add printer through airport express

Hi everyone, I have a canon colour laser printer (LBP5000) works fine when I pop the usb straight in to the mac, but when I try setting it up by plugging the usb into my airport express I get an Error:-9672 this happens when setting up the printer in print & fax system prefs.
I have another printer set up on a different airport express, which works fine.... could this be a problem?
Any help would be great
Thanks
Lee

Hello Lee,
When you select the LBP5000 in the Printer Borwser > Default Browser view, the Print Using menu should automatically set. If it isn't, and you are having to manually set the printer, then that will be a likely cause for the error (which usually occurs when the wrong driver is selected).
Try turning off the Airport Express and the printer. After a few seconds turn the printer on first and after it finishes making it's warm up sounds, turn on the Express. Now try to add the printer via the Default Browser view.
If that doesn't help, check your Airport Express firmware version. Some previous postees have found that their problems are resolved by updating their firmware on their Airport Extreme/Express.
Regards,
Paul
