HELP!!! My network printer won't get an IP address through my AP Express

I am trying to set up an HP 7310 all-in-one printer through my network using an AP express. I have DSL that goes through an AP Extreme, the new draft N, but the network only recognizes the printer if I use the USB port on the Express. This is fine to print, but I want to get it on the network through the Express' ethernet port so that I can use the other functions too (like scanning, copying, etc.). I can't get my express to assign an IP address or otherwise get any connection going through the ethernet port. HELP!!!

Hello Jedid4n. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Do you have the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) configured as the remote base station in a WDS with the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) configured as the main base station? In order for the AX's Ethernet port to be enabled, the AX would have to be set up as either a remote or relay in a WDS.

  • After upgrade to latest firmware canon network printer won't print

    after upgrade to latest firmware canon network printer won't print. It's a canon MP540 on a wireless network. It will print a test page but won't print from any application, just sits there with the message 'copying print data'!
    Running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 (11C74), with firmware SMC Version (system):          1.73f63.
    Any help gratefully received.

    First off if you can print a test page there is absolutely no reason you wouldn't be able to print from a application...none.  But stranger things have happened now that we have Lion.  Within the application are you selecting the wireless printer........just had to check.
    I have the MP620 which is simlar to your MP540 and have no problems printing from my MBA (June 2011).  I too have the latest firmware and software......without problems printing.
    A few things I'd try would be to remove the wireless printer from your computer (in Preferences, printers), restart, and repair permissions.  Then add the wireless printer back, and see if it works.  If not.....power OFF the printer and turn back on.
    If the above fails reinstall the printer driver (yours) I think you will have to plug in the USB cable. 
    Keep me updated and I'll tyr and help!

  • MDT boot image and when we try to PXE boot it won't get the IP Address.

    We created a custom MDT boot image and when we try to PXE boot it won't get the IP Address.
    I press F8 and type IPCONFIG we get Windows IP Configuration. We are using  vmxnet3 network adapter. 
    I think I need to inject 32-bit  vmxnet3 driver to the custom MDT boot image which is 32-bit.
    We are using it to deploy Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1 operating System.
    Can I just use the 32-bit custom MDT boot image or do I need to use 64-bit Custom MDT Boot Image?
    Also Is there a blog on how to inject  vmxnet3 driver to boot image?

    You can try this:
    http://mwesterink.wordpress.com/2013/12/03/configmgr-2012-obtaining-vmxnet3-nic-drivers-for-vmware-virtual-machines/
    Honestly, your best bet is to use a different adapter (E1000). I personally have had no luck getting the vmxnet3 driver to work properly in WinPE. It's either really, really slow or it simply doesn't load at all.

  • Network Print Jobs Always Get Stuck in Queue

    Hello,
    I have, perhaps, the most frustrating problem on the planet.  In my home network, I have a HP Color LaserJet 2600n connected to my main PC, with 2 other PC's on the network.  All 3 run Windows 7.  Printing from my main PC works fine, but if I try to print over the network, the print job always gets stuck in the queue.  I can see it stuck in the queue on my main PC, but I can't do anything about it.  I can't delete it, nothing.  If I restart the spooler, then it magically prints and clears the queue, but it's annoying to have to do that all the time.  I've reinstalled the drivers several times to no avail.  Tips?

    I have a similar problem, I have a directly connected 1300 and a network P3015. The 1300 is connected via USB, the 3015 is connected by RJ45 cable right to the router. Both printers have their print queues get stuck, but only from my HP Pavilion Elite HPE running HP-installed Windows 7. All the other machines in the office can use the 3015 printer perfectly well. One is an older Pavilion using XP-Pro, another is a Dell using XP-Pro and the third is a Lenovo laptop using Windows 7. All our toners are not refills (seems like a stupid suggestion that the toner cartridge could cause a queue to lock up). The problem is definitely between my machine and the HP printers. I have a Brother printer and a couple of Seiko/Epson printers that all work perfectly fine.
    Rebooting several times a day is getting old.

  • Help! Network error won't go away

    I was setting up my Mac G4 running Tiger and was going to connect it to the network. I opened the Network Prefs and I get a drop-down error message that says "Your Network settings have been changed by another application."
    This error message won't go away; if I click OK then the message just comes back. I have to force quit Network Preferences. There is no way to access network prefs while the error message appears. This message appears whether I'm connected (via ethernet) to the router or not.
    I don't know what application could have changed my settings or how to change them back or how to make that error message go away. Any suggestions? Thanx.

    Hi Ken,
    To stop the pop-up, Go to System Preferences: Security. Check the box next to "Require password to unlock each secure system preference." Then lock Security.
    Try this cure for Security update...

  • Need Help Adding Network Printer

    I am trying to add a network printer on a Solaris (Sun OS 5.6) system. I am doing this using lpadmin as outlined in volume 2 of the system admin guide.
    The printer appears on the system, but when I try sending a print job, I get the message 'Segmentation error - core dumped' and nothing prints on the printer.
    I have added the printer to the etc/hosts and can ping it o.k.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    There is info missing from your post that I like to have when considering these issues, so here is what I'm assuming:
    You used the command:
    lpadmin -p printername -v /dev/null -m netstandard -o dest=printerhostname -I contentype -T printertype
    (note: I like -m netstandard instead of
    -i /usr/lib/lp/model/netstandard because I'm lazy! they mean and do the same.)
    You have the latest version of patch 106235 for lp, which I believe is -09
    This is perhaps not the first printer or first attempt at adding a printer on this host.
    Possibly this machine was upgraded from a previous version of Solaris?
    If you can find the core file (it may be where you issue the lp command or in the /var/spool/lp/tmp directory), you can use the adb command to at least extract the name of the binary that is coring:
    adb core
    This could be several things that could require anything from a spool clean to an remove and reinstall of the print packages. Any more details you can provide? Perhaps the output of lpstat -p printername -l? Does this happen with any printer you create?

  • Help! Network printing

    I am connected to a printer on another computer. When I request a print job, it goes to the printer, but the "million"pages that come out are blank. I have the Mac mini, the shared printer is HP Windows XP, printer is a HP Color LaserJet 3600n. The Mac knows the printer is there, but prints blanks and lots of them. I hope I explained this ok. Anybody got any ideas why this is happening.
    Thanks for your help.

    Can you print to the printer normally if it's plugged in directly to your Mac mini? Have you installed the most recent driver?

  • Suddenly, my MBP Won't get an internet connection through my routers

    I've had my MBP 15" 2.4 for about three months now, and I've never had a problem connecting to the internet. This morning I booted it up, but when I went to get on a wireless connection it would connect, but still say I had no internet. I have two routers in my house - the main one on one side, and my old iMac in my room (my room is too far from the main router to get signal), and the MBP won't get internet from either. However, as you can see by me posting this topic, I'm getting clear internet through the ethernet cable. An error message in connecting to the wireless signal has also appeared a few times. Lastly, my MBP is running very slowly this morning, and there's lots of lag for the track pad.
    At first, I thought it was the main router's problem. But since the iMac's Airport isn't providing internet connection either, it leads me to believe it's something with the MBP. I'm not sure what to do, and I'd greatly appreciate any help I could get.

    Sorry to hear about the signal dropping. I don't have a solution but would like hear if anyone has an idea what's going on.
    My situation is similar. I have an Airport Extreme (n) and the MBP would drop its connection to it randomly. I've gone to pains to change my phone from using any close freq to the wireless.

  • Lacie 2Big Network Drive won't Accept a DHCP address from Time Capsule

    Good evening all.
    I have 2 of these Lacie 2Big network drives. One accepts a DHCP address from my Time capsule and the other does not, giving itself a self assigned IP address instead. It does accept a manually assigned address though. The settings on both the Lacie drives are identical as far as I can tell and they both run the latest 2.0.6 software. I tried hard reset on the Time capsule, and swapping the ethernet cables over on the two Lacie drives but to no avail. The log on the drive that won't accept a DHCP address says it is timing out after 45 seconds and setting a self assigned address. The drive that won't accept DHCP is an older drive with software updated to 2.0.6, but it had the problem with the older software as well. Does anyone have a similar experience and / or solution ?
    regards
    Shaun

    Also tried resetting PRAM, no luck.
    What does work is if I use Manual DHCP mode and specify the router's address (192.168.0.1). Then everything works but not on Automatic, which worked for a long time.

  • Get Hardware (Mac) Address through Applescript

    Hi All,
    How can I get Hardware (Mac) Address using applescript. Please tell me how can I do it. I have searched in the dictionary but I found nothing there.
    Why I need it, I have developed some tool for InDesign & Quark User. I want to add the mentioned module in my application, so that as user will run the tool it will first validate the Hardware address, and if it match then application will run otherwise it will show a piracy message.
    Thanks
    Rajeev

    >get if addr en0 failed, (os/kern) failure
    Then you don't have an active interface. You can't use ipconfig to query an interface that isn't up.
    You need to decide how you want to deal with this - you won't know in advance what interfaces the user may have active. For this reason, relying on the MAC address is inherently problematic. You might be better off using the system's serial number (which is less likely to change anyway):
    <pre class=command>set serialNum to do shell script "system_profiler SPHardwareDataType| awk -F: '/Serial/ {print $2}'"</pre>

  • Solution for Windows 7 all-in-one network printer won't print

    It took all morning to resolve an issue that came up with my HP printer not printing today after working fine for 2 1/2 months. The problem was that the printer would queue the job, but then I would get a print error. The printer started out as offline, and it showed ready after I downloaded the HP troubleshooting utility, which said that everthing was fine, even it it wasn't.  I tried every solution out there, including reinstalling drivers and restarting the printer, computer and router several times and unchecking boxes.  I finally googled the exact error message I got (you have to type next several times after the "Windows can't fix this problem" message to get it.  It said something about the printer not being able to find the network - unfortunately I didn't copy the exact wording. This finally got me to a website that suggested that Norton security would be the problem.  My computer is new, and it is running Window 7 Professional 64-bit and Norton hasn't been a problem so far on it (though I heard horror stories that Norton can cause a lot of problems in the past).  The instructions said to reset the Norton internet firewall to the default settings, restart the printer, and thankfully everything was back in business.  I don't know why everything was working fine one day, and then suddenly the next morning it isn't working.  I hope that others with the same problem will find this solution can help them.

    Hi FGG,
    I understand you're missing a driver for your Officejet Pro 8500 printer. I'd be happy to help you with this!
    If you click here you can download the full software package for your printer, including the drivers. Just click next when the page loads (it should be able to detect your operating system) and then scroll down to where it says Driver - Product Installation Software, and proceed to download the HP Officejet Pro Full Feature Software and Driver. I recommend saving it to your computer to make things easier as well.
    If this was not what you're looking for please let me know more specifically what the issue is.
    Hope this helps, have a great day!

  • HELP! Network printing and installing HPIJS on iBook running 10.3.9

    Hi,
    I have a home network built around Time Capsule. I have a secondary router which provides a wireless B/G network.
    I have an old iBook running 10.3.9 which connects to the wireless B/G network.
    I used to have an old HP PSC 750 connected via USB to the time capsule but it broke so I bought a new HP Photosmart C6380 which is connected via an ethernet cable to the time capsule.
    I was able to use open printing drivers to allow the iBook to print to the old printer but I cannot get it to print to the new one.
    Everything else on the network can print (including my iPhone).
    I went back to open printing (http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/MacOSX/hpijs), downloaded what I had to and tried to install it. Everything installs ok on the iBook.
    The trouble is I cannot follow the setup instructions - "Printer Setup Utility (Panther), hold down the Option key, and click the Add Printer button in the Print Center toolbar. Within the setup sheet, choose Advanced from the top popup menu; then in the "Device:" popup menu select your printer by name (it should be the last item in the menu list). Finally, select the correct PPD from the model browser and click Add."
    The printer shows up when I select rendezvous in the add printer section, but it cannot find the drivers and will not let me select the drivers.
    When I follow the above instructions, the printer is not listed.
    I have tried using IP printing (no luck), bluetooth printing (nothing), in fact everything from the pull down list.
    I am sure I am missing a step somewhere. Should I first install the printer connected directly to the iBook via USB?
    If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated.
    Thanks
    Anthony

    Hello Penny
    The Leopard Installer DVD is Dual-Layered. For lack of any further information it's possible the original installed Optical Drive on your eMac can't read from Dual-Layered DVDs? Yours may be the Combo Drive instead? Although your model meets the minimum RAM requirements you would benefit greatly if you upgraded to at least 1GB - preferably more. Do you have another Mac or access to someone who has?
    HTH?

  • Help Requested: Network printing with both PC & Mac

    Hello
    I am trying to print from both a Windows 7 PC and an iMac to a Canon MX870.  I have connected the printer to my WIFI network and have confirmed the connection.  However, neither computer can see the printer.  
    Both computers are connected by an Ethernet cable, not WIFI.  Is this the reason why the cannot see the printer?  If so, how can I print through a network using both computers?
    Thank you for your help,

  • Wireless Network Printer won't work

    I have my iBook and a Windows XP machine on a home wireless network. I also use a Buffalo Linkstation remote hard drive, which can also function as a Print Server. I just bought a Canon Pixma 4200 USB printer, with the intention of hooking to the print server and printing wirelessly from the iBook.
    The Windows machine prints just fine this way, but the iBook will not "see" the Canon Pixma 4200 driver. The iBook Print Setup Utility will allow me to "connect" to the linkstation printer, but only as a "generic" printer. When I try to identify the "Printer Model", only non-Canon models are listed. The printer setup utility then allows me to add the printer as a Generic, but then there is no connectivity, when I print from the iBook I get an error message to the effect that there is no connection, logon failure, etc.
    I can use all the other files on the linkstation just fine from the iBook, I just can't print. I've loaded and re-loaded the drivers from the printer's CD-ROM and also from Canon's website, nothing helps.
    Please advise if this is normal, thanks.
    ibook   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Welcome to the Forum.
    I just wanted to mention that we don't use a print server at all, and we can print from our iBook wirelessly to our Canon IP3000 (which shows up on the iBook by name) without issue. All we did was turn on printer sharing on the iMac. So it is possible to do this quite simply.
    Good luck.

  • Network printer won't install

    I am trying to install a printer on the office network, "No driver found" Operation failed wioth error 0x00000214

    I'm guessing your using W7? Did you install the printer drivers? Make sure you also go to the manufacturer to get the latest up to date drivers.
    Does it ask you to install from the "drivers disk" or go online to download them?
