Help needed to set up printer connected to Airport (Bonjour)

I've successfully installed the printer (HP 3745v) when I connect it via USB. Leopard found the correct printer driver and I was able to print okay. However, when I think plug the USB cable for the printer back into the Airport Express and the Mac sees that same printer as Kind "Bonjour" and I install it, the Mac doesn't automatically choose the printer driver. It leaves you to figure it out. I cannot find the same driver as I did when connecting the printer directly to the Mac. I'm thinking this is a bug. Anyone able to get this to work. Please reply to [email protected]

Mine is plugged into my Airport and it picked it up automatically, but I had to ADD the printer first. Then it found the right drivers and all was ok. It did take awhile though for it to find the drivers.

  • Help need to set up Printing to network printer

    I am trying to set up a printing via a print server attached to my home network. I know the print server works as I can print to it via Linux. How do I set this up please? the print server is an LG N1A1 NAS & the printer is a brother DPC 115 C

    What happened when you created the connection? Did you upload
    the
    connection file to the server? Is your testing server local
    IIS?

  • Help needed in setting up Japanese Database

    Hi there,
    Help needed in setting up Japanese Database.
    I created database with UTF8 character set on Sun Solaris O/S.
    Oracle version 8.1.7.
    I am accessing the DB through SQL*Plus (Windows client).
    I downloaded the Japanese font on client side and also set the NLS_LANG environment variable to Japanese_Japan.UTF8. Still, I am not able to view Japanese characters. O/S on client side is Windows 2000 professional (English). Is O/S (client) need to be Japanese O/S? When I try to retrieve sysdate, its displaying in Japanese but not all characters in Japanese. Can anyone help me out how to set up the client and is there any parameters to be setup at server side? I also tried to insert japanese characters into table through client, but it displaying as "?????" characters. Any help in this regard is appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    -Shankar

    lol
    your program is working just fine.
    do you know what accept does? if not read below.
    serversocket.accept() is where java stops and waits for a (client)socket to connect to it.
    only after a socket has connected wil the program continue.
    try putting the accept() in its own little thread and let it wait there while your program continues in another thread

  • Printer connected to AirPort Express doesn't show up on iPhone

    I recently bought an AirPort Express knowing that I could be able to use my basic printer with it and print from my iDevices wirelessly even thogh it is not AirPrint enabled. The Airport Express is supposed to be a wireless link from my iDevices to my printer so I won't need to buy an expensive AirPrint modeled printer. So I've set up the AirPort Express and connected my printer to the USB port. The AirPort has recognised my printer and shows up in AirPort Utility on my PC. I go onto any one of my iDevices and when I choose the print option it says no AirPrint printers could be found. The Printer shows up in AirPort utility on my computer but it's nowhere to be found on my iDevices. Please help, someone!

    I recently bought an AirPort Express knowing that I could be able to use my basic printer with it and print from my iDevices wirelessly even thogh it is not AirPrint enabled
    Unfortunately, this is not correct.  You need an AirPrint compatible printer connected to your network wirelessly to be able to print directly from an iOS device.
    See this Apple support document for a list of AirPrint compatible models:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    As wuzradioman mentions, you may be able to use a separate App like Printopia to allow an iOS device to print to a non-AirPrint printer. There is a free trial, so you will know in a few minutes whether or not it might work for your purposes.

  • HT4356 I have an HP 4500 printer connected to airport extreme with usb.  All our portable notebooks print via air but cannot get iPad to be recognized for printing.  Do I really have to have one of the other HPs listed?

    I have an HP 4500 printer connected to airport extreme with usb.  All our portable notebooks print via air but cannot get iPad to be recognized for printing.  Do I really have to have one of the other HPs listed?

    Rufus Cat-
    Even if it was compatible, AirPrint does not work through a USB link, only Ethernet or WiFi.
    I do not see your HP 4500 listed on Apple's list of AirPrint compatible printers.  <iOS: AirPrint 101>  Therefore you need to take another approach.  To start, I suggest you download the free HP App, ePrint Home & Biz.  It has limitations, but should get you printing with your existing setup.
    There are other printing Apps with more features such as Print n Share and PrintCentral, but they can only be accessed from within other Apps that have the "Open In" option.
    Your best option may be to share your computer's printer as AirPrint over WiFi.  Programs that are reported to do that well are Printopia and FingerPrint.  Your computer must be on and awake any time you want to print.  <Printopia for Macintosh>  <FingerPrint for PC and Mac>

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Do i need to set up the time capsule airport before i start backing up using time machine with my time capsule?

    Do i need to set up the time capsule airport before i start backing up using time machine with my time capsule?

    Some setup is generally required.. because the TC is a network device.. not a plug in via usb.. therefore it has to exist somewhere in your network.

  • Set up printer connected to Time Capsule via USB and print without WiFi

    Is there any way to do this? We use a Time Capsule for daily backups, for both Mac and PCs, and have a printer that we would like to share between all of them. Before, we had the printer connected to a PC as this allowed both PCs and Macs to print to it, but of course the PC had to be on. For whatever reason, when we plugged the printer into a Mac, the PCs couldn't connect or print.
    From what Apple has told me, I have two options:
    1. Share the printer via WAN, which is not desirable, as any other office could then print to our printer.
    2. Create a hidden, password-protected, wireless network. This causes problems for two reasons. Firstly, we are not permitted to "extend" the network, and by creating a wireless network and attaching it onto the ethernet network, we are basically doing that. Secondly, if we did create this wireless network, computers that connected to the network to be able to see the printer would then default to the wireless network for internet access, rather than the ethernet connection.
    If I am misunderstanding something, or someone has an idea of how to password protect a printer connected to a Time Capsule without using wifi, I would greatly appreciate it.

    Sharing via WAN through the Time Capsule, for whatever reason, is not password protected. Any computer in our building can see the printer, and use it. When we were sharing the printer through the PC / Bonjour, when setting up the printer on a new machine, a valid username and password from the connected PC was required.
    I should add that the purpose of trying to share this via the Time Capsule, rather than the PC, is that the Time Capsule is always on, and we notice an increase in performance when the PCs are powered down regularly.

  • Help needed to set consecutive numbering in table rows

    I need to set up a table so that the first column is a column of consecutive numbers (much like the record count).
    The table will be followed with a text frame, and then a new table will start.
    HOWEVER. I wanted to numbers in the first column to continue consecutively.
    I am using this for a lengthy explanation of technical instructions: one instruction/ per line.
    There will be about 1000+ instructions over the course of this 200-page book. The second column contains a checkbox, which is why I am having problems setting this up in an ordinary word-processing program, because of export issues (Dont ask). The third column contains the instruction.
    I am hoping that Numbers will solve my formatting problems.
    *Is there a simple way to set up the first table column in a sheet to number the rows consecutively, and continue the numbering each time a new table is inserted?*
    I hope I have explained this well enough.

    Fred, is it possible for this to work with other number related items. I'm talking specifically about sequential inventory numbers. At work I used excel, but now that computer is dead, and I'm working from home. I've refused to install microsoft products on my home machine for quite a while. I love numbers, and am glad it's out, so I am never even tempted by the "devil". Sorry got off topic.
    Essentially I used to write BLX-001 in cell one, BLX-002 in cell two, then do the drag method. When I have text in the Numbers cell though it won't give consecutive numbers, just continually repeat the numbers in the first two cells. Any helps

  • Printer connected to airport extreme very slow to print but when printer connected to iMac it is very quick to print

    Early version of Airport Extreme station, 802.11g, saucer shaped model.  iMac wirelessly connected to internet via space station and modem and Canon MX700 printer connected directly to Airport space station and also printing wirelessly.  When try to print wirelessly, it takes about 1' 10" before printing starts.  When the printer is connected directly to the computer, printing starts almost instantaneously.  Because of internet disconnect which occurred occasionaly,  reset the Airport station and so far no internet disconnect problem but the printer is slow to start printing.  Printer software current but now have the slow printing problem.  I think I have set up the printer properly but do not know why it takes so long to start printing but so quickly when the printer is connected directly to the computer.

    I know my post may be late, anyway I hope I can help.
    The one main reason I can think of that ethernet is preferable to USB is who wants to run 20 or more feet of USB to network a printer. The cost of the USB cable would make it cost prohibitive. The Airport or generally any router/hub is not always nearby the network output devices. However small office/home setups where the devices and router are within a small area, reachable by USB, then your point is valid.
    In any case, don't expect any help from AppleCare to assist you with the settings on the Airport side, Apple doesn't support connecting printers via ethernet . . . pretty lame response. I am really disappointed with the response and very shortsighted.
    On the printer side, you need to set a static IP for the printer . . . one within your internal LAN IP numbers.
    Before proceeding you will need the MAC address or Machine Address or Ethernet Address, it should look be a series of that will look like 12:32:00:00:21:02. If you print out your printer config page you should be able to find it.
    From the Airport app, choose the Internet tab(icon) on the top of the window, then choose DHCP then hit the + key under the DHCP Reservations window. This will open up a series of windows, provide a description of the device, reserve by Mac Address>click continue> type in the Mac Address in the window, and then the IP address that will be static or reserved for only the printer.>Click Done.>Click Update> Router will reboot.
    You will need to go to Printer Setup to make sure you have a printer looking for that IP address, and will need to do this on each workstation.
    My experience with other brand routers are that they don't require the Mac Address, which caused the delay in figuring this out on my own, (a few hours) but it is working now . . . WHEW!

  • Printer connected to Airport Express not responding

    I know I've done something wrong, but can't work out what it is. I went overseas for 2 weeks so turned off my computer, printer, Airport Express - at the wall. When I came back I turned everything back on but now my printer does not respond when I send it printing jobs. It has worked flawlessly in the past but I can't for the life of me, work out why it won't work now. I'm using a Brother Mono Laser printer Model HL-1450 - I even downloaded the latest driver from the Brother website but that makes no difference. If I connect my printer directly to my iMac - it works like a charm. However, when connected via USB to the Airport Express nothing happens. I checked out the Mac help 'connecting a USB printer to AirPort base station but it says '5. In the Printer pop-up Menu, choose Bonjour and then choose your printer'. Bonjour doesn't show up, my Printer does, but nothing happens. The printer dialog box just shows the job spooling and it never gets past about 3 or 5%.
    Any help gratefully received before I tear out all my hair.
    Cheers

  • Will Windows 7 print to a printer connected to Airport Express

    I have a late 2010 Macbook Pro with Lion. Just did a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit using bootcamp. Hooked up my printer via USB directly to the MBP while in Windows and loaded printer software. Prints fine. Then removed USB cable from MBP and re-connected it to Airport Express. Windows finds and connects to my Airport Express fine. When I try to print a document, Windows does not see the printer on Airport Express. Will windows not print to a printer on Airport Express or do I need to somehow tell Windows that the printer is on Airport Express? The printer prints fine from the mac side of my computer.

    You have to tell Windows to print to a network printer. Did you set up the network printer in Windows? How many printers do you see in Windows? If only the USB printer shows up then you did not tell Windows about the network printer.
    In Windows Start > Devices and Printers > Add Printer. Make sure you select the network printer to add not a local printer.
    After some more research, I found that I needed to download and run Bonjour. Which I did, and it seemed to load fine. I then went to the printer properties, port tab, and went to IP_local and selected config port. In the printer name and address box I put 10.0.1.1 (for airport extreme) and selected Apply. After this when I try to print, I actually get "printer ready" in the print dialoge box. When I select print, the doc goes to the print que and it says "printing" then disappears, but nothing prints. I have done research on THIS issue now and have found many others with the same issue, but not sure of the answer yet. Maybe I need to use Generic Postscript, but I am not sure where this is.

  • Help please it is a printing problem through airport express from pc

    Sorry I'm new on here too but I didn't get help with my last problem at all but I was able to figured it out on my own. No luck with the following problem though.
    Here is the problem My printer works I can print from my Mac but not from my pc. It recognizes it and it says printing and the printer actually uses a page but it comes out clean/clear. I can print to this printer from my mac like I said but not from my pc. I have rebooted, restarted and deleted and installed the printer back again, but still nothing. I mean it works, it just doesn't print anything on the page. Just a blank page. The printer is connected to an airport express and it works and it has been restarted and everything. The printer was jump started too. It works great with my mac but my pc can not print to it. I have another printer connected to my airport extreme base and that one can be used by both my mac and my pc. It works just fine. So Why won't this other printer work with my pc but yes with my mac. Both printers are connected to the network through AEBS and AX through usb, Not directly to any computers. Both printers are HP photosmart allinone 2575 working just fine with both and HP 6210 officejet all in one printer working only with the mac. Remember it is responsive with my pc and it says printing and it actually grabs a page and prints it out blank. Oh and it does have ink, I have made sure.
    Thank you so much for taking the time to look at my post. and I'm kinda new so Forgive me if I repeated myself too much, to get the message across. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks once again.

    I have used the website and attempted to add the printer manually. However, it still says "collecting printer status" under port 9100, or "printer offline" for port 9101. Do you have any other ideas? It works flawlessly on my wife's apple laptop.
