Help - Receive message "an error occurred printing this document" when using airport express and Ipad

Hi, I am trying to set up an airport express hub to work with a Star tsp100 receipt printer and IPad 2. The IPad is being used to accept credit card payments and I was hoping to print receipts out wirelessly using the airport express and receipt printer. I checked to make sure the airport express has the latest firmware and it does. The IPad software is also updated to the latest 7.1.  I then connected the Airport express and IPad and the network setup with no problems. I connected the receipt printer to the airport express using the USB slot available. While the printer comes up as available, when I attempt to print something, I get the error message "An error occurred printing this document" and I can cancel or Try again. No matter how many times I try, I continue to get this message and I lost as to the cause. When I disconnect and reconnect, another instance of the printer appears, but receive the same cryptic error message when I try to print. Totally lost, please help

Hi kelston3,
In order to print from an iPad you will need to use a printer that is compatible with AirPrint, which is described in the following article -
About AirPrint
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
AirPrint printers must be wireless on your network - not connected via USB to the base station. There is a list of printers that are known to be compatible with AirPrint in the article.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L

  • HT201406 I was printing and printer jammed. iPad gives the command; an error occurred printing this document Cancel Try Again - no response to either command and the iPad will not let me shut down.

    I was printing docs from my iPad and the printer jammed. iPad's screen now shows: an error occured printing this document - Cancel Try Again - the touch screen will not respond to any command. Cannot turn it off, cannot cancel and cannot try again. I've turned the printer off and restarted it.

    Try a reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    BTW, you posted in the iPod topuch forum.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    This sometimes resolved by unplugging the Apple TV for a few moments and trying again, others have found restarting the router may help. Another reason that message can occur is when the download speed is extremely slow, have you tested your Internet download speed with speediest.net.

  • I keep getting the message "an error occurred downloading this content" does anyone know how to fix this?

    I rented a movie but I can't seem to play it. I keep getting the message an error occurred downloading this content. Please try again later. It doesn't tell me how much later, but I've tried off and on for a week and I can't seem to resolve it.

    Firstly, I should have typed speedtest.net previously.
    Now that's an interesting comment you make, out of interest do you have any purchased HD movies in your iTunes collection, if so, do they play on the Apple TV with your new tv.

  • Can't play rented movies.  They appear to download OK and the timer accurately reports days remaining to watch.  But whenever I try to play the movie I get this message, "An error occurred loading this content.  Try again later."

    Can't play rented movies.  They appear to download OK and the timer accurately reports days remaining to watch.  But whenever I try to play the movie I get this message, "An error occurred loading this content.  Try again later.". Have been using the Apple TV for 2 weeks and everything else seems to work OK.  The Apple TV reports its SW is up to date.  I've tried this with two movies rented frim iTunes directly from the Apple TV.

    If after you download the movie, you navigate away and do something else with your Apple TV the content you have downloaded will be overwritten and you'll need to download it again. It's a pain in the neck for many who have slow downloads but it's something that comes with using volatile memory rather than a hard drive for storage.
    Perhaps you're not doing this, but I thought it worth mentioning.

    I have the same issue, to temporarily fix it go to Settings > General > Restart.  When it restarts the movie should play.  You have to do this for each movie for the most part.

  • Is it possible to run BBC iPlayer from an iPhone4 through AirPlay to Apple TV2 please? I keep getting the message "An error occured loading this content. Please try again later"

    First, try a system reset on the iPod.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If that doesn't work, reset the Apple TV.  I'm not at mine right now and I'm talking from memory but the reset is somewhere in the Settings menu.

  • Error message an error occurred while signing in " when I worked with Create PDF and at the signed

    Error message "an error occurred while signing in " when I worked with Create PDF and at the signed in status. Please help so that I can continu my work.

    Hi Stacy,
    Thank you for your attention.
    I have been working with Create PFD under normal procedures including
    sign-in and several documents had been finished. However, when continued
    creating another document the computer took a long time to pprocess and
    finally a mesage appeared: "An error occurred while signing in" and stopped
    there. I clicked the OK button and start creating again and the same
    message appeared once more. I tried to log off and log in again in no
    avail. So I went to the help site and called for help.
    Later, I decided to reboot the computer and tried once more. This time it
    worked and I continued creating. Thanks.

  • I get "An error occurred loading this content" when trying to use AirPlay with some iPhone videos

    When trying to stream video via Home Sharing AirPlay from the Horse Racing Now iPhone app or TwinSpires mobile site to my new third generation Apple TV, I get the error message
    An error occurred loading this content
    Try again later.
    The Apple TV seems to be playing everything else fine though. And I verified that the video is working on both sites. Any idea what's happening?

  • FW CS6 Error message: An error occurred. This command requires an active document.

    Hi,
    I've been seeing the following message while saving active documents recently: An error occurred. This command requires an active document. My document does indeed save.
    I'm wondering if a recently-installed (and much-loved) extension could be the cause?
    Has anyone else seen this?
    Thanks!

    As far as similar problems, I recently opened Fireworks 8 to test the File Management button (the Put command in particular) and found that it triggered an alert message normally produced by Aaron Beall's "Deform to Path" command:
    I tried closing the Path panel, and the alert message was still triggered. (I do have that command also available within the Commands menu, but I'm not sure what was going on there; however, since I don't use Fireworks 8 much anymore and never use the Put command, I decided to leave it alone.)
    Currently, I use Fireworks CS6. Several months ago, I noticed a "migrating panel" bug, where panels within the default configuration had been mysteriously swapped for one another: The Color Palette panel had been replaced by Lorem Ipsum, while the Path panel had gone missing, replaced by the Color Palette panel—bizarre behavior, to say the least. I tried reselecting a default Workspace (as well as a saved one), but it had no effect on the problem. I still haven't taken the time to diagnose and fix the issue, but I suppose it might have somehow been triggered by the Lorem Ipsum panel, which was a custom installation.

  • How do I request a refund for a movie after receiving the "An error occurred loading this content. try again later." error?

    I watched the first 11 minutes of a movie, paused and then when I tried to play again recieved the error - An error occurred loading this content. try again later.  No amount of retrying later fixed the problem.  I will not be able to finish watching the movie within the required 24hour window so would like to request a refund.  Can anyone provide any guidance on how I go about that?  Thanks.

  • Error message:"An error occurred loading this content"

    I have been having problems renting movies on Apple TV. On Sunday evening February 17th I tried to rent "Hotel Transylvania". I went through the steps to rent a movie, i pushed play and watched Apple TV loading the movie and after approx 2 min a "An error occurred loading this content". I went through the same steps 3 more times with the same error. I decided to rent another movie instead. I was able to rent "Flight" and started to watch the movie. At the 17 minute mark of the movie, the movie quit playing. I tried everything to get the movie to play beyond the 17 minute mark but wouldn't work. I went through the steps to upgrade the Apple TV software but neither movie would play after the software upgrade. I tried to play the movies again on Monday February 18th and the 19th with no luck. I did a General>Reset>Reset All Settings, and still not able to get past the 17 minute mark in the movie "Flight" and "Hotel Transylvania" wont play. I am able to watch the movies i have purchased in the past. ie Slap Shot. I can also watch movies on Netflix. I have 2 hours left to watch the "Flight"
    movie but can't get it to work.

    apps have to support airplay and or airplay mirror for it to work
