HH 3 and USB printer

Hi
Has anyone successfully used the USB port on the HH 3.0 to share a USB printer (not wireless) between 2 PC's (with BT Infinity)?
I have seen this post, which implies it can't be done
http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/11523/kw/home%20hub%203%20usb%20printer/c/346,1887,18...
but we did have it working with the previous set up of BT Broadband and HH 2.0.
Thanks

I managed to get this working, although only for test purposes, so ive never hammered it hard! Have a look at this article, this was the method I used...

  • AE and USB Print / Scan / Copy with HP PSC-2410

    My Airport Express finds my HP printer immediately upon plugging the printer into the AE USB port. Printing to it from various macs around the house has been wonderful...but...In order to use the HP's other functions, such as scanning and copying, it seems that the printer must be directly connected to a mac in order for these functions to work.
    Another poster said that he could not check his ink levels on an Epson printer through an AE USB connection, but could once he directly connected the printer to his Mac.
    It seems that the AE will only act as a print server and will not allow for any other features to be shared.
    Anyone else find this to be the case? Is there a fix? It is a pain to have to unplug from the AE and plug into the Mac every time I want to scan something.
    Thanks!

    ...but...In order to use the HP's other functions, such as scanning and copying, it seems that the printer must be directly connected to a mac in order for these functions to work.
    That is true. The USB port on the AirPort Express suppports only printing.
    Another poster said that he could not check his ink levels on an Epson printer through an AE USB connection, but could once he directly connected the printer to his Mac.
    That is also true. Those utilities depend on a direct USB connection to the printer. See KB 107430, AirPort Extreme, AirPort Express: Can't use USB printer utilities while printer sharing.
    It seems that the AE will only act as a print server and will not allow for any other features to be shared.
    That is exactly correct.

  • HP t510 Thin Client and USB Printer Redirectiion

    We have HP t510 thin clients connecting to server side XenCenter and running Windows 7 virtual sessions hosted on the server. We are trying to connect a USB lablewriter printer to one of the thin clients. On the t510 device, XEN Connection General Settings Manager/Local Resources/Local Device Redirection is selected for Printers/Printer Mapping. Also on the t510 device under Peripherals/USB Manager, Protocol/All USB is set to Citrix and Devices has the USB printer selected/checked and set to Redirect.
    We have also tried within the assigned Windows session, a registry key has been created under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Citrix\ICA Client\GenericUSB\Devices, using both a generic redirect for all usb printers as well as device specific using the VID and PID hardware information of the printer.
    When we have booted into the Windows session and have installed the USB drivers/printing software and physically conencted the usb printer, it is not being recognized by Windows at all. Device Manager is not showing any unknown devices or anything.
    Has anyone seen this same issue? Is there an easy workaround? Will there need to be a hardware policy written in XENCenter?
    Thank you,

  • Bt Infinity hub and USB printing

    Hi all.
    I have recently got BT Infinity and the new homehub required. I am liking the service though the new hub does not allow me to plug a printer into the USB port on the back.
    I know the homehub does not officially support printing, but my previous homehub (version 2) allowed me to plug a printer into the usb port and use 192.168.1.253 as an ip address.
    When I plug the same printer into the new infinity hub the homehub page says that nothing is connected to the usb port. If I plug a flash drive into the port it is recognised straight away.
    When I plugged my printer into the usb port of the old version 2 homehub the hub page recognised the printer was plugged into the usb port and even gave the name and model of the printer.
    Has anything changed that for the infinity hub that would make adding a usb printer impossible? Does anyone else with infinity have a usb printer plugged into the back of their hub? If so how did you get it to work?
    Any help/info on this matter would be grately appreciated.

    Having the same issue.
    What a shame I have to leave my old wireless router plugged in just so that I can use the shared printer.
    Is there a reason this is disabled?

  • DSL-2750B and USB Printer Support

    I just got a DSL-2750B modem/router. In the specs on this page it says it supports a USB Printer:
    https://teleproducts.verizon.com/fileshare/plm/brochure/DL2750BVOL_brochure.pdf
    On the D-Link Site the manual for this router shows screens to configure it. but those screens don't match the screens I get when I log in to the router. The ones on the router are all branded with Verizon.
    If I open the Verizondrive icon showing up in my network I see a folder for Drives and one for Printers.  I have tested a USB drive in the USB port on the router, but can't configre a USB printer.
    I have talked/chatted with the DSL support folks and they can't help. They told me I had to go to premium support and pay for the call.  That doesn't seem right that I have to pay for information on how to configure a device you sold me for a feature that your web site says the device has.
    Please tell me how to configure a usb printer for this DSL-2750B

  • NetWare Queues and USB Print Servers

    We usually use HP JetDirect en3700 (J7942A) USB print servers when we have

    You need to install and configure NDPS (iPrint). The procedure is covered
    in the docs and queue-based and NDPS can coexist. You then create a
    printer in NDPS, have it service the queue. For output you use ypur
    printer, configured as LPR.

  • Compatible Wireless and USB Printer Lists using AirPort Extreme

    Long night researching this issue. I bought a new AirPort Extreme (802.11n) yesterday and I LOVE IT. Very fast and no lag whatsoever. Then I tried to setup our printer via the USB port and BAM - issues.
    Here is a short summary of what I learned (thanks to all the guys who posted a lot of this info on separate posts)
    - Unfortunately not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations. - The AirPort's USB port does not support the "advanced" printer functions, like scanning, copying or faxing, of multi-function printers.
    Go to iFelix for a "short" list of compatible and incompatible printers:
    http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/index.html
    Please note, there is a workaround for "some" printers - trial and error is the only way to see if your printer will work:
    http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/1300.html
    I believe most retail printers that use Postscript, PCL3, PCL4, PCL5 and PCL6 interfaces should work.
    I learned the hard way that printers that use the "HP LIDIL" interface must be connected to the computer directly and will not work via the AirPort Extreme USB port.
    Here is a list from IBM support of HP printers and which interface they use:
    http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas1ba0863cfa6463903862569c10078c9 03
    GOOD LUCK!!!!

    Remember that when you attach a USB printer to the AirPort, the AirPort will perform the function of a Print Server. As you can imagine, if the server cannot locate the printer (for whatever reason), it will treat it as unavailable and not attempt to share it out.
    However, like you expect, you wouldn't have to restart a dedicated print server, and thus, you shouldn't have to do the same with the AirPort. Of course, anything is possible.
    I would suggest a couple of things to see if they would help: 1) Even though you have a single printer attached, I would suggest in investing in a powered USB hub. Plug the hub into the USB port first, and then, the printer into the hub. You can then power cycle the printer as required. 2) Completely remove the printer and associated printer drivers that were installed and reinstall it.

  • How to Network a G5, G4, internet, and USB Printer

    I am waiting on a new G5 to arrive and want to be ready to connect it to my home office when it does.
    I need to connect it with my current G4 466Mhz so they both share my cable internet connection and a USB printer (Canon pixma mp500). What is the best way of doing this?
    Do I need to buy a router to connect the computers and a USB switch to share the printer? A guy at the computer store told me that the printer should be accessable by both computers if they are networked and I don't need a USB switch.

  • WDS with Win 7, 10.6 and USB printer

    I've tried many times to get this to work.
    Here's the setup I want to happen:
    Westell 7500 as the DSL router hub.
    Apple Airport Extreme working as a WDS.
    USB printer plugged into Airport.
    Win 7 desktop wired with ethernet to airport.
    Win 7 and Apple laptops print to USB printer.
    Here is what doesn't work:
    Mac wireless computers cannot print.
    Win 7 Desktop cannot connect to internet.
    Win 7 so far unable to print.
    AIrport is b/g, Westell is also b/g. UPNP is enabled in Westell.
    Win7 64, 10.4.11, and 10.6.3.
    Win 7 has the Airport Utility on it.

    i think i figured out a solution. i downloaded the mac osx 10.6.8 combination update and installed it. the devices now work perfectly. i am wondering if there was some corrupt code or something somewhere. i would have liked a precise solution but atleast this will work for whomever finds this post. thank you for your reply.

  • EA3500 and usb printer

    Hello.
    I read this manual Connecting a USB printer through the Cisco VUSB software on a Windows-based computer.
    And i have last firmware on device.
    But when i run CISCOVUSB, i see empty window and error: server is unavailable.
    Firewall if off.
    What is wrong?
    I have Windows 8.1 and HP M1214

    Hi 5exi!
    I believe it's not supporting yet Windows 8.1. However, you can select the compatibility that you're going to use.
    After downloading the Cisco VUSB on you desktop, right it, choose Compatibility, then select Windows 7 or XP.

  • Can you have both Wireless and USB printing configured simultaneously on HP Laser mono 1102w

    Hi Guys / HP,
    Just wondering if you can have the HP Printer mono laser p1102w setup for both USB2 cable hard-wired to notebook and for wireless connections concurrently.
    Trying to install printer with both setups via install CD on my HP notebook Pavilion dv6.
    Because when installing the printer CD it asks for one or the other i.e. USB or Wireless.
    Is there an easy workaround.
    Regards

  • Both wireless and USB printing on a MX892?

    I am currently printing from my computer to a new MX892 via a USB cable. I was afraid to set up wireless in case that would mean I could only print wirelessly, which is likely not true. I might (rarely) choose to print from my iPad or iPod wirelessly, if that was an option. My question: Can I set up wireless printing for those rare occasions without creating problems for printing via USB the majority of the time?

    Hi paulb,
    You will need to connect the printer to your network wirelessly prior to printing from your iPad and iPhone.  To setup the printer wirelessly, please follow the steps located at the link below related to your operating system:
    Wireless Setup - Windows 
    Wireless Setup - Mac
    Once the printer is connected wirelessly, you can setup your iPad and iPhone to print via AirPrint.  To do this, please follow the steps located here. 
    Hope this helps!

  • Airport Extreme and USB printer

    This past week upgraded my home system to Verizon's FIOS--new router, wiring, etc. Got the Airport up and running without too many glitches. I did have to unplug it a few times in the process. But now I find the Airport no longer sees my Lexmark C510 printer. It's never had a problem seeing it before and I fail to understand why any external changes would affect this connection between the Airport and printer. I note, too, that in the past week I updated the Airport firmware to the latest, and have heard that others have problems with printers subsequent to that. The Airport DOES see the USB hard drive connected. No trouble there. This is purely a printer issue.
    I have unplugged the printer, unplugged the Base Station, and shut down everything and brought it up one piece at a time, but no change in the status of the printer.

    Try as others have to roll back the firmware to 7.3.2. Worth a shot since it was running ok before the upgrade.

  • Airport Extreme and USB Printer Problem

    I have an Epson printer connected to the USB port of my Airport Extreme.  This has worked just fine for years.  But from today neither my iMac nor my MacBook Air can "see" the printer any more.  I have rebooted everything a couple of times, but still no joy.
    I have connected the printer directly to a USB port on my iMac, and all is well, so I guess the problem is not with the printer.
    The only thing significant done to my system in recent times is the latest security update, which I installed yesterday.
    Can anybody give me a clue as to why this problem has suddenly raised its head after all these years?

  • WRT600N and USB Printer

    I just bought a WRT600N gigabit router for use at home.  My printer only has a USB connection.  Can the printer be connected to the home network using the USB port on the WRT600N or will I have to leave it connected to a running computer to use it with a wireless laptop or my other desktop?

    It has to be connected to the USB port of one of your computers.  You then have to set your computers on the same workgroup and turn on file and printer sharing.
