Ethernet Internet & Airport Express Printing at the same time

Ok Guys:
My 18 year old cousin is going off to University this fall, and she will be taking her iMac G5 and a new Macbook with her. She wants to set up her canon printer wirelessly by using an Airport Express. Assuming her Internet access is by ethernet, provided in each residence room by the university, can she also setup an Airport Express to use for wireless printing at the same time? In other words will the following scenario work?
Network 1: Ethernet Internet (provided by the University)
AND (at the same time)
Network 2 : Wireless printing network by Airport Export Express.
Thanks.
-Robert

She can configure the AirPort Express (AX) with the option to distribute IP addresses DISABLED.
Then she can connect the AX directly to the Ethernet connection in the room.

Can an Airport extend a wireless network and support a USB printer at the same time?

Can an Airport extend a wireless network and support a USB printer at the same time?

Yes, if the AirPort Express is extending the wireless signal produced by another Apple router. The Express cannot wirelessly extend a network produced by a non-Apple router.
In addition to extending the network and connecting a printer, AirPlay can also be enabled on the AirPort Express, with all services operating simultaneously.
Please note that only the print function will work if you connect an All-in-One type device to the USB port on the Express. Advanced features like copy, scan, mainentance, etc are not supported when an All-in-One device is connected to the USB port on an AirPort router.

Just installed a HP Color Laserjet CM2320nf MFP printer, at the same time I upgraded to Lion. It prints fine, but I cannot use the scan functions. I downloaded the most recent driver! Any help would be appreciated.

HP says that the drivers for your all in one print/scanner are downloadable from apple. For the scanner to use preview. image capture or the scan icon from the print driver queue. I don't know how old your HP is, but I know that the newer Os from apple don't support a lot of older printers. You might be able find a third party driver that could work.

Airport express: use internet and air tunes at the same time?

Hi,
I'd like to use and airport express to create a wirelss network (and so use the internet) AND stream music to my stereo with air tunes - at the same time. Is this possible? So far, I have been able to create a wireless network (and use the internet) OR use the airport express to play music. But whenever my internet works, itune can't find the base station - claiming it "can't be found on the network?"
Can you do both at once?
I'm connecting to an ethernet jack (I'm at a college). It's not a cable modem or DSL. Is this the problem?
Under "music" in the utility configuration. I've selected "Enable Air tunes at the base station." I can't select "Enable Airtunes over ethernet port." When i try to change the network options to allow me to select this "ethernet port" option, I have to tell it how to "distribute IP" addresses. i don't know how to do this, and everything I've tried destroys my internet connection.
I appreciat any help you have to offer. thanks
1.5 GHz PowerPC G4, 12'' powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.4)

solution:
My problem ended up being specific to the network I'm using. There is evidently another router on the ethernet system that was assigning my airport express an IP address (192. ...), rather than letting the network DCHP give me a direct IP address (something like 160. ...). The 192 address made it impossible for iTunes to see my express base station, but I was getting internet, passed through this other router.
The fix - and I'm not sure if this is totally kosher - was to manually enter a correct IP address for my base station. I got the IP address by seeing what this other router was sending my computer to get onto the internet. It gave me the correct router and a workable (160. ...) IP address. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to manually pick an IP address on the ethernet, but this one is working for the time being, and now iTunes can find my base station.

AirPort Express (2nd gen), share internet wireless and wired in the same time

If I use my AirPort Express (2nd gen) and I connect the modem in WAN port, and a switch in the LAN port (this swich connect a computer and a NAS wired), can I share the internet wireless and via LAN and the same time?, the wireless devices and the wired devices would be in the same network?.
Thanks.

Thanks!

Can I set up wireless internet and a wireless printer at the same time?

I have an AirPort Express configured already which allows wireless access to the internet (as it is connected to my broadband router) but can I also configure it to allow wireless printer sharing at the same time?
I would appreciate an answer on this as I have been unable to determine it so far.
Many thanks

The Express has a single Ethernet port, whereas, the Extreme has four would be one of most distinguishing feature differences. Obviously size differences would be #1. (ref: Identifying AirPort Hardware)
When connected directly another router, you have (effectively) two routers in series. In this configuration, the AirPort Express would need to be reconfigured as a bridge. This will allow the broadband router to provide both NAT & DHCP services for all the wired/wireless clients connected to either router.

Internet Sharing and AirTunes at the Same Time?

I've seen similar posts on this question, but none exactly on. I think I have a fairly basic situation.
I'm using my G5 as a base station to broadcast Airtunes to another room. G5 is connected to the Internet via cable modem. Using Airport Express as receiver.
Now, I just bought a powerbook and want to use the G5 for wireless internet access by the PB. But when I turn on internet sharing on the G5, it seems to cut off/shut down the airtunes network. Airport icon looks quite different. Conversely, when I get the airtunes working, the sharing can't be turned on.
Anyway to sort this out so that I can run both at the same time?
thanks
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I believe, in theory, you should be able to do this. I am assuming from your description the G5 is connected, via Ethernet, to the cable modem and you want to use Internet Sharing to use it's wireless to commuicate with both the AX and the PowerBook. I think if you set up Internet Sharing and add the AX as a "wireless client" this may just work.
Let's double-check your settings...
To setup for Internet Sharing (Wired to Wireless):
Enable Software Firewall
System Preferences > Sharing > Firewall
- Click Stop to start the software firewall
Setup the Network
Cable Modem > (Ethernet cable) > [Ethernet port] Mac_#1 > (wireless) > Mac_#2
Setup Port Order
System Preferences > Network > Show > Network Port Configurations
- Verify that "AirPort" and "Built-In Ethernet" are enabled.
- Verify that "Built-In Ethernet" is at the top of the list, followed by "AirPort".
- Click "Apply Now."
Configure the Internet Connection
System Preferences > Network > Show > Built-In Ethernet > TCP/IP
- Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
- Configure IPv6: Automatically or Off
Enable Internet Sharing
System Preferences > Sharing > Internet
- Share your connection from: Built-in Ethernet
- To computers using: AirPort (checked) (Note: Uncheck all other entries in the list.)
- AirPort Options
-- Network Name: <anything you want>
-- Channel: Automatic
-- Enable encryption (using WEP) (optional)
-- Password: (optional)
-- Confirm Password: (optional)
-- WEP Key Length: (optional)
-- Click OK
- Click Start
To set up AirTunes on the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), using the AirPort Admin Utility, connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, try these settings:
AirPort tab
- Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
- Wireless Mode: Join an Existing Wireless Network (Wireless Client)
- Wireless Network: <select the Internet Sharing wireless network>
Music tab
- Enable AirTunes on this base station (checked)
- Enable AirTunes over the Ethernet port (optional)
- iTunes Speaker Name: <whatever you wish>
- iTunes Speaker Password (optional)
In iTunes:
iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
- Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)

Is it possible to have an attachment within a pdf doc print at the same time the main doc prints?

Okay, so this may be kind of a weird question. We have some users who are wanting to add a page to an already existing xml document and correct me if I'm wrong, but I've read that it's not possible to add/delete pages from a pdf that's in xml format. Since that is not possible, I have added the page to the xml document as an attachment. Now what I am wanting to know is if it is possible to have the attachment print out at the same time as the main document. We are using the latest version of Adobe Reader and I have access to Adobe Acrobat Standard 9 & 10 and then I have access to Adobe Acrobat Pro 7. I've been unable to find anyting via google or by searching this forum so hopefully I'll draw out some kind of smart cookies and we'll get this figured out. I appreciate any and all input!
Thanks,

I know of no way to do this with Reader or XML.

How do you send report to a file & a printer at the same time?

I need to run a 10g form that will get the filename that the user wants to save the report as and also a printer that the user would like to print the report to at the same time. I've tried using the distribution option with an xml destination file, but I keep getting errors when try to use variables in the xml file. Anyone know how to do this?

I'm not sure which variables with which you're having troubles, but the following distribution file format accomplishes what you requested here (ver 9.0.4.2 running on Windows 2003-YMMV), provided that the Report Server can see and has rights to:
1) The specified printer.
2) The specified destination directory.
<destinations>
<printer id="p1" name="\\myprintqueue\my_valid_priner_name">
<include src="report"/>
</printer>
<file id="f1" name="\\MyFileserver\ASubdir\DestSubdir\MyFilename.PDF" format="pdf">
<include src="report"/>
</file>
</destinations>

Can PO output in different printer at the same time ?

It is not possible to print on two printers at a time.

Does Airport Express really communicate the same speed to both Mac and non-Mac devices?

Okay, so to fully understand my situation, here's a briefing: Our old Netgear router was not pushing nearly the speeds we were paying for (we pay for 30 and were getting 10-15 max, usually much less). I recently got an iMac which means that all of my devices are now Apple made, so I decided to get an Airport Express to hopefully improve our wireless speeds. I set it up with the modem going in the WAN port and the old router attached to the LAN port so that it could still act as an ethernet hub for the few hard-wired devices knocking around. I set up both a network and a guest network, with our original one still active through the Netgear router.
I get 45 Mbps from the new network on my iMac, but my roommate is only getting around 9. If he connects to the old one, he caps out at about 25. Is the wireless card in his PC just not capable of receiving more than that? He insists that since it's an Apple router it is not as compatable with non-Apple products. Interestingly, I get faster speeds on my iPhone from the guest network than I can from either the new or old main networks in our house.
I know this is a really long question, but has anyone had this same problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also: isn't the wireless speed of the old Netgear router still basically being pushed through the Airport Express, as it's the only thing connected directly to the modem? Are there any settings I can change to make everything run smoothly? If the PC, Android phones, etc can connect to the new network at the same speed as my Apple products, then we can eliminate the old network altogether if that will help.

I think I answered my own question. I found this on the web:
http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?fat32format.htm
Seems to suggest that using this third party exe to format it instead of windows inbuilt one will allow for partitions greater than 32GB. So this looks the way to go. And the 2GB limit per file is just for FAT16 not FAT32 apparently, but even if it is I only have a few iso/video files bigger than 2 gig so will just use a splitter on them.
Hope this is useful to someone else

Okay to have Ethernet and Wi-Fi running at the same time ?

Hi,
I've always been careful to turn off Airport before I switch to Ethernet.
I was just wondering if it is okay to have both options running at the same ime and what consequences it may have.
Thank you for reading this

+"Will the Mac use part of both simultaneously?"+the Internet and E-Mail.
Hi,
every IP based connection has a gateway that tells a device where to send packages that belong to the subnet the connection is in.
Then there is a (one, and only one!) default gateway that tells the device where to send all packages that belong to no subnet of any connection. On OSX this is normally bound to the primary network device (the one that is on first place in the network configuration).
So there is no problem having more than one network connection open. In your case, though, the WiFi connection would probably be in the same subnet as the wired connection. This doesn't pose a problem per se, but just is a bit senseless. It doesn't have an impact on networking, though.
My sister suggested it. She knows Latin. It means "handsome boy", doesn't it ?

Using Airport Express and Intenet at same time

I have set up an Airport Express to play music from my Mac in another room. Works fine. But when I am doing that, I cannot use the internet on the Mac. This is because the wireless symbol on the title bar gives me two choices -- my wireless network or the Airport Express. Is this normal or is there something I can do to have both working at once. Ta in advance

the_gauntlett, Welcome to the discussion area!
You need to reconfigure the AirPort Express (AX) so that it joins a wireless network and select your current wireless network.

Customer statements - Email & print at the same time - Is this possible?

Hi all,
We generate customer statements at regular intervals and send them to the customers, through mail, fax and email.
We have a print program which generates the customer statement. For some customers we want the statements to be printed as well as sent by e-mail simultaneously.
Can anyone please let me know which field, can we use to tell the system to look at if it has to only print / email / email & print.
We thought of using Bank statement field in the correspondence tab (KNB1-XAUSZ).
We created 4 values,
A - print
B - Email
C - print & email
D - Fax
However when we use 'C' the print program only sends the email, without printing.
Can anyone please let me know if I am using the wrong field? Is there any other field that can be used for our requirement.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I know it is an old thread. Just to add to what Eduardo explained here, Answer for your question is, yes it is possible to control it through the selection- screen. No need for a new Z-program for this. Even if you check the OSS note 549119, it is only talking about controlling it through master data if you check the mentioned include LXFKOF01(whether Email id maintained or not)
What we have done is, we have controlled the same through correspondence types. We copied the existing ones into new ones starting with E*. For example: SAP01 to EAP01 to denote that these are all for emails. And we check the correspondence type in BTE 2310 which is available in parameter I_BKORM-EVENT. Based on that, you either set FINAA-NACHA = 'I' (Email) or FINAA-NACHA = '1' (Print) or even you can include fax as well.(FINAA-NACHA = '2').
If you have some hard coded stuff in your forms, what you can do is, you can reset the correspondence type back to SAP01 from EAP01 by using field symbols , by changing '(RFKORD10_PDF)BKORM-EVENT'. Make sure you use correct print program in place of RFKORD10_PDF.
So when you run F.27 or F.62 with SAP01, it will mass print and when your run the same with EAP01, it will mass email.
With regards,
Gokul
