How can I print with a Windows computer through the AirPort?

Basically, I'm a college student in a dorm room with a wireless HP printer. I have a MacBook Pro 15-inch with Snow Leopard and my roommate has an Asus Eee PC with Windows XP. I use an Apple AirPort Express router and print through it with my computer wirelessly. Is there any way my roommate can print wirelessly from his computer? So far, I haven't figured out how to set it up and he just uses my computer whenever he needs to print something.

Since the printer has its own wireless built-in, as opposed to it connecting via USB to the Airport Express, then there shouldn't be an issue for the Asus to connect to the printer, providing it can connect to the Express also via wireless.
Unless someone here knows otherwise, I suggest you check the HP web site in case there is an additional utility required for XP to add a network wireless printer.
Usually, a network printer is added by selecting Local Printer, rather than Network as this is looking for server shared printers, and then you create a New Port and select Standard TCP/IP for the port type.

  • How can I print with the black and white cartridge only?

    I am trying to print using the black and white cartridge only because magenta is out of ink but I'm getting the following error message in HP Photosmart C7200 series print dialog:
    The printer is out of ink.
    The following ink cartridges are empty: Magenta. Replace these ink cartridges to resume printing.

    I am absolutely disgusted by this; clearly a scam from HP to make more money by selling extra ink cartridges!!  I will make sure to never buy any products from the shoddy rip off merchants at HP ever again!!
    You should be ashamed!!

  • How can I print with a wider left margin in Preview? (OSX 10.5)

    How can I print with a wider left margin in Preview? (OSX 10.5)
    To punch Binder Holes.
    Should be easy ... Make a Custom page with a wider left margin ... easy to set up, but it does not actually work for any printer I am connected to.
    Info so far:
    Found an older post from 2002 ... "Make a custom page"
    Mac Help has a limited, simple, incomplete answer: "Make a custom page"
    Tried three printers. One Postscript Level 3 One Level 2 and one non postscript
    Switching between page types in the drop down shows a change in the print preview, and the floating information shows the correct page size and larger left margin... but the "Custom Page Size" does not show a larger left margin, in the preview, no mater how it is set.
    There also appear to be a relation ship between the radio Buttons for scale and the margin settings.
    Test prints have simply cut off the left side of the document, and scaled the document from the right side in and the top down.

    Thanks

    Thanks ... tried the Paper Handling, but no lock.
    Based on the fact that any scaling, "moves" the image down and to the left on the paper ...
    Th only "work around" solution is to ...
    Rotate the PDF page 180, then scale slightly (90% or so ...)
    This pushes the upside down page, down and to the left.
    While this is the opposite of what is desired, the print is then correct when
    it is punched and placed into a three ring binder.
    Assumption is the application that creates the documnt, needs to have the paper margins set. The reality is, an application like Preview, that does not "create anything", needs to handle existing documents PDF, JPEG and print to Custom Page configurations.
    ie: In Preview, Custom Page does not work correctly,
    Thanks allfor the comments and help ...

    JimHess~  Many thanks.  In my short history with LR, it's amazing how many people I've seen ask this question.  I'm nearly embarrassed at how simple the fix was, but grateful that you didn't dismiss such a basic question.  You made my week.  And my friend's photo album...

  • Can not print with HP LaserJet 6L since the upgrade to Mavericks.

    Can not print with HP LaserJet 6L since the upgrade to Mavericks. Any alternative driver for this printer?

    I have an HP LaserJet 5P and had the same problem. My LaserJet is connected to a D-Link ethernet print server, then to an Airport Express to support wireless printing.
    As recommended in earlier posts, I first downloaded the Gutenprint HP drivers at Sourceforge, version 5.2.9 That did not work. Then found the reference to the Apple kb here: http://support.apple.com/kb/dl907
    Downloaded these drivers. When setting up the printer, I got the autoselect option for Generic Postscript Printer and used that. Printer worked, but printed out garbage. I then deleted the printer, and this time selected the HP LaserJet 5P CUPS + Gutenprint v.5.2.9 THAT WORKED! I don't know if was the combination of downloading the drivers from Sourceforge and the Apple kb, or just the Apple kb that solved the problem, but I'm glad this is now sorted.
    I was a bit surprised when I hit this snag to begin with because the last upgrade I did from Lion to Mountain Lion, I did not have this issue. It was seamless.

  • How can I record with GarageBand 1.3 in the background using other app?

    How can I record with GarageBand 1.3 in the background using other app?
    I use iPad 2 with iOS 6 and GarageBand v1.3.
    I'd like to play an other app like Sunrizer synth while the GarageBand is recording in the background in a track.
    By now I can do it only using the build-in mic of iPad, but this is not the point.
    Can I record other apps in a GarageBand track?
    Thanks a lot for your time.

    I suspect you are probably correct about the reasoning, although there are already a myriad of ways to do that.
    Don't get me wrong - I never said I like this. But it is consistent with other Apple applications, that are similar restrictive; you cannot take a screenshot, when dvd-player is running for example.
    That are the moments, when I am glad that MacOS X is a unix system under the hood

  • How can I print from my windows 8 pc to my printer using my 2nd g express?

    I have an hp deskjet 1055. It's just a USB printer how can I print from windows to my printer connected to my 2gen airport express? If it only works with airprint printers than why is there belkin routers that can work with any printer?

    Figured it out. To print wirelessly via airport express 2nd generation you have to do some things. Download the bonjour printer thing mentioned above and have the printer plugged in to the airport express. Then run the bonjour printer thing and select your connected printer and install. Where I went wrong was I tried to print from my hp printer (1). When you install a printer with bonjour to print wirelessly it installs the same printer (2) so it's like there's 2 different printers in word or whatever you use to print.  You have to select the one that says ready. Thanks for everyone's help
