Ethernet or usb connection to airport express

I'm having problems when using the ethernet cable connection from my canon printer to the airport express device. I only see the device when I use a usb connection but need to have both. The usb printer port is a direct connection to my daughter's windows pc so I want to use the ethernet connection with the airport express so that i can use the printer with my mac. Can someone advise. I have a canon mx700.

I am having the same problem. I have an Airport Extreme 802.11n that is creating my wireless network. I have one HP printer connected to the USB port, which I can see fine and another connected to the ethernet. The printer connected to the ethernet is visible only to the computer connected to the Airport Extreme via ethernet. All of the computers connected wirelessly can not see the printer. How can I access this printer?

  • I can see my Canon MP600 usb connected to Airport Express through Bonjour on my Windows XP. But, when installed by Bonjour, the printor time-out and can't print anything. Any idea what to do?

    Thanks for the quick reply.
    So am I correct in saying trying to utilise the Airport Express to access the printer over the network was a wasted effort due to the latest iOS? I had read up on the express before purchase and believed that was one of it's main purposes.
    Thanks again for the help.

  • Can I use Ethernet for Internet connection and Airport express for printer

    How / can I use Ethernet for Internet connection and use an airport express to set up wifi for printer and Apple TV?
    Macbook Pro. OS X 10.9.4

    I've never tried it, so I don't know what the results will be.
    However, you can move Ethernet to the top of the Services list in Network System Prefs which will cause it to be the Internet source. There is a command in the gear menu to set the Service order.  However, after thinking about it, if there isn't an internet connection via Wi-Fi, it might automatically drop down to the Ethernet connection.
    Then, you can set up your Wi-Fi so that it doesn't connect to the Internet, as Linc stated. How to do that would be dependent on the Router.

  • ITunes 10.6.3.25 on ethernet connection loses airport express speakers but iPhone 4 airplay works

    Hi,
    I have started experiencing a problem this past week (Aug 2012) that I see sometimes reported here.  When I run iTunes 10.6.3.25 on a Win7 machine that is connected by ethernet to my router, the airport express speakers would regularly disappear.  I can always connect to these airport express via airplay from my iPhone 4.  In fact when the airplay speakers disappear from iTunes on the ethernet-connected machine, I can reliably make them reappear by turning on the Music app on the iPhone.  But after a while the airplay speakers would disappear again.  On a Win7 laptop connected via wifi to the network the same version of iTunes seems so far not to exhibit the same problem.
    Has anyone discovered what the underlying problem is or found a solution?

    I ran into the specific problem in another thread.  There are more than 100 connections from the apple TV's to iTunes.  You can do a netstat -a (windows or Mac), and verify the problem.  iTunes is smart enough to stop allowing more than 100 connections but stupid to allow the ATV to create so many connections.
    Now for what you really want!  Set all of your ATVs to wifi only.  Even setting the iTunes host to wifi might help also.  I think that wifi is more unreliable, and forces connections to drop, keeping the count under 100. 
    I also turned off ip v6.  That could help you also.  I originally had problems on a Mac mini, and built a windows 7 box to try to fix the problem.  The wifi trick worked on both platforms.  Several of us have bug reports into apple.  I have a wired house also, and am very angry to NEED to use slow wifi to overcome this problem.  The ATV gen 3 has been able to keep up with 1080p over wifi, so it doesn't hurt too much.  What really hurts is spending over 40 hours troubleshooting this bug.

  • Printer connected to Airport Express USB port won't come online after firmware 7.6 upgrade. I've tried backing up to 7.5.2, but it still shows offline. It is a Canon iP4600 printer and I'm running OS 10.6.8. I've powered everything down and still no go.

    Printer connected to Airport Express USB port won't come online after firmware 7.6 upgrade. I've tried backing up to 7.5.2, but it still shows offline. It is a Canon iP4600 printer and I'm running OS 10.6.8. I've powered everything down and still no go. I've connected the printer directly to my MacBook's USB port and it works fine. Any suggestions?

    I have an iP4500, which I assume is quite similar to your model.
    I had to reset the printing system to get things printing again. Only takes a few minutes and no problems at all since I did it a week ago or so.
    Plug the printer into the USB port on the Express and restart the printer.
    Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock) and then open Print and Fax
    Right-Click in the printer area on the left and select Reset Printing System
    Then click the + (plus) button at the bottom of the printer list to install the printer again.

  • HT2497 do I connect my airport express to my modem via the WAN port and then connect to my imac via ethernet cable?

    Do I connect my airport express to my modem via the WAN port and then connect from airport express to my imac with ethernet cable? Is that how you "hard wire" the connection? Because when I do that, I still can't get online. Thanks.

    What is the make & model of your modem?
    You pretty much stated the correct wiring. There should be an Ethernet cable connected between the modem and the WAN (circle of dots) port on the AirPort Express base station.
    Anytime you change networking hardware it is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle of that hardware. Check out the following AirPort User Tip for details. Please post back your results.

  • Print to USB printer connected to  Airport Express using AirPrint?

    Is there a way to print from iPad to a printer connected via USB cable to Airport Express? When i try to print from Safari using th print function, it is unable to find any printers

    A printer connected via USB to an AirPort Express is not supported by iOS printing. That is described here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    But there are other solutions, unsupported by Apple, that should work if you don't mind having a Mac turned on to share your printer. You can take a look at FingerPrint, Printopia, and AirPrint Activator.

  • Question re AEBS Connected to Airport Express via Ethernet

    If I have an AEBS that is being used to extend the range of my wireless network, if I connect an Airport Express via Ethernet to this AEBS for purposes of itunes airtunes will this work and will the wireless network remain wireless-n?

    Yes, it will.
    You also have the option of (a) completely turning off the radio on the Airport Express or (b) leaving it on, and using it to create a b/g point of access to your LAN thus allowing you to run the AEBSn in n-only mode for your n-capable wireless clients.

  • HT1515 do you need to connect the airport express to a router via ethernet or can it do it using wireless?

    do you need to connect the airport express to a router via ethernet or can it do it using wireless?

    There are 3 Apple routers....AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule. Details here:
    http://www.apple.com/compare-wifi-models/
    Do you have one of these products in the living room? 
    If no, you can only use the AirPort Express by connecting to the router in the living room using an Ethernet cable at all times.

  • Connect to Airport Express to use AirTunes via ethernet cable?

    Hi,
    Here's my setup and question: I am connected to the internet using the wireless network in my house. I want to also connect my computer to my Airport Express for AirTunes which is hooked up to my stereo in the computer room. Since I'm already connected to a different wireless network for internet, can I connect my Airport Express directly to my computer using an ethernet cable in order to run AirTunes?
    Thanks!

    Hi.
    You don't need to do that. You can simply set the express up as a "client" allowing you to be on the network and/or airtunes and/or wireless printing.
    Have a look at this post for the relevant info:

  • Connecting Two Airport Express Via Ethernet

    I have a unique situation in which I would like to connect two airport express via ethernet. Here is the situation: I can connect the first AX directly to the internet and set up a WDS for the second AX. Unfortunately, the second AX signal does not reach where I need it to go. I can run an ethernet cable between the two. Is this setting valid for a WDS? Or does the WDS have to be wireless? If I can set up the WDS using an ethernet, will the relay AX broadcast the internet wirelessly then?
    Are there any specific settings I should know about?
    Any help would be great.
    Thanks in advance,
    Debbie

    I currently have an old snow basestation at this location. Can I plug an ethernet cable into it and connect it to the AX?
    Yes that will work.
    My understanding was that the older basestation could not do this?
    I think you have it confused with extending a network wirelessly. That is not possible with the snow AirPort base station (ABS).

  • How make wireless connection with airport express to  Yamaha Clavinova CVP-403 ?

    I would like to wirelessly connect my Yamaha Clavinova CVP-403. I would like to use a D-link DWA 125 and my airport express. Does anyone has any experience on how to do that?

    Hi Henry - you seem to be a very helpful and knowledgeable person and I am wanting to dive in to the depths of wireless working at home and could probably do with your advice. I certainly don’t have as much knowledge as Jaybee and if he’s had problems I am feeling a little apprehensive.
    I know that the first thing I need to do is get an ethernet modem to use with Airport Express as I currently only have a USB modem. I was wondering if you have any recommendations or if I should go straight for the Netgear DSL modem/router (DG834B) that Jaybee ended up with. Although the bit about ‘disabling the Airport Express resp. Extreme routers’ scares me rigid
    I have looked at ‘About this Mac’ and got the following for you – hope it’s helpful.
    OSX 10.3.9
    1.33 HGz PowerPC G4 processor
    Airport Extreme: Worldwide
    Firmware: 400.17(3.90.34.0.p11)
    Airport admin utility: 4.2 (v420.31)
    My ISP is also Tiscali (UK) - they have said they can only provide modem support on the USB modem they provide so once I switch to an ethernet modem I’ll be on my own. I have checked the Tiscali website and found the following modems, so I would assume (probably unwisely) that they would be compatible with my account...
    Zoom X6 5590 DSL Modem (55907200) 
    D-Link DSL-300T 
    Zoom Hayes ADSL Ethernet (H0-15805) (081580572) 
    Any help is very gratefully received.
    Regards,

  • How can I print from my IPAD3 to a printer connected to Airport Express?

    How can I print from my IPAD3 to a printer connected to Airport Express? I have a HP printer and I can print from all my Windows PC and iMAC in the house. How can I print from my IPaD?

    You cannot.
    The USB port on the AirPort Express allow sharing a printer with Windows and Mac OS X, not with iOS:
    "Wireless printing over USB requires a compatible printer and OS X v10.2.7 or later, Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7":
    http://www.apple.com/airportexpress/#wireless-printing
    "AirPrint-enabled printers  connected using Bluetooth or shared through a USB port of a Mac, PC, AirPort Base Station, or Time Capsule are not supported":
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    The HP ePrint app also does not provide such functionality:
    Can I print from the HP ePrint mobile app using USB or Bluetooth?
    No. You can only print directly to supported HP printers on a local wireless network.
