How do I connect a Canon Selphy CP900 using the USB port on Time Capsule

I am running a MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion (10.8.5) and have installed the CP 900 driver (6.2) supplied by Canon from their website. I have a Time Capsule set up as a stand alone internal network at my home and use it as a network attched hard drive directly - not via Time Machine. I can "see" the printer when I connect but cannot print to it. I open a photo in preview and select the printer and print.
I get a
Cannin Selphy CP Generic
connection method not supported message - 9786
The printer does show up in my Print and Scan control panel in System Preferences
I also cannot reach it to check suplies
At the print it dsiplays the printer to computer connection via USB
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Asa

Hi Asa,
I experienced the same error -9786 although I'm not using the time capsule, but only through the wifi.
I did following and resolved the problem.
1. I re-installed the driver software.
2. I re-configured the printer settings. (System Preferences - Printers and Scanners - "+" button)
3. I didn't add the selphy manually, but just I just input "CP" in the searchbox in "Add" dialog, and clicked "OK" button then the printer is set automatically.
4. I tried pringing a photo from iPhoto and could print correctly.
it looks like the key action is #2 and #3 above, so why don't you give a try?

How can I make Time Machine use the ethernet cable to Time Capsule instead of the wireless connection? Wireless is too slow; has been taking 40 hours to create an initial 142 GB backup.

Connecting wirelessly using the USB Port

I recently saw a small device at Best Buy that allows my computer to connect remotely to the internet (via cable modem) using the USB port that costs only $60. Do you know of this and can you comment?

Are you trying to do this because your Ethernet port is broken? Is it a wireless device? Can you link to a product description?

Cannot print from Canon MF4412 through USB port of Time Capsule

Hi everyone,
I've recently purchased a new Canon imageCLASS MF4412 and cannot print while connected to the USB port of the time capsule. I can print and scan perfectly when connected directly to the mac.
This is the exact steps I took:
1.After connecting the usb cable to the back of Time capsule, I go to the sys pref pane to add a printer.
2.It shows up as a 'Bonjour' and I had to manually select the driver.
3.It added fine and I thought everything was setup.
4.However, when i go to print something, there's an error. "Canon URF II Printer Driver"
"Cannon communicate with the printer, or the printer is not supported. If the printer is supported, check the printer connection and add it again. Then, if the Print Dialog box has a [Printer Info] button, acquire the printer information: 10322"
Anybody know of a solution?
Thanks.

I got a similar problem on MF4412, the canon 4412 is connected the newest airport extreme , it get configured. But I got same problem described about on my leopard, lion, even worst on iOS, it does not find the printer. But I got a Windows 7 starter NetBook ...haha it works, I can print it from Windows. what is the problem then,it works on Windows but not Apple's OS??????

How can I play itunes music through one of the usb ports on my new MacBook Air?

Greetings Everyone.
I just purchased my first Mac product I want to be able to play music from the itunes app from one of my usb ports to the usb port on the front panel of my Yamaha CD changer. I want to utilize the buit-in DAC of the Yamaha. A friend was able to run his Ipad through it but I can't see a way to run my MacBook Air through it. When I go to System Preferences -> Hardware -> Sound the only item listed for Output is "Internal Speakers".
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Reset the SMC and PRAM
SMC Reset:
Shut down the MacBook Pro.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM:
Shut down the MacBook Pro.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

How shall i do it ? Complex question about how to use the airport express or time capsule ?

Hello All,
Right now i have an access point:
1/ A mercury router (cheap and old)
2/ Airport Express
Do you advice me to use it to replace my cheap old router (mercury) or to pair it with this main old router ? (however i tried to without any success)
3/ Time Capsule
Can i use it to relay the signal from the Airport Express to extend the range of the wifi?
Can i use it to stream music to my B/W M1 speakers directly ? (I will connect by USB the BW M1 to the time capsule) and would like to be able to play music this way. Is this in anyway possible ?
Many thanks for your reply !

ok, i might be wrong but here goes:
you should attach your modem to your time capsule: your time capsule will act as not only your time machine but also your main wireless transmitter.
you set it up using "Airport Utility" which is inside the "utilites" folder, which is inside your applications folder.
this connects your mac wirelessly to the internet.
to stream music to your speakers you then set up the airport plug to (a) join the existing network (which you set up on the time capsule) and then (b) set it up to stream music to your speakers. again, this is done using "airport utility". do it AFTER you have set up the time capsule.
you will then be able to use itunes to stream music to your speakers. from itunes on your computer you will be able to chose from the bottom right hand side of the window whether you play the music on your computer or wirelessly into your B+W speakers...
some notes:
1. you won't be able to connect the airport plug by USB to your speakers as the airport plug doesn't have a USB output. It has only analogue and optical.
2. although your time capsule has USB you cannot stream music into it or through it. there's some basic guidance here:
http://www.apple.com/wifi/
3. you may find that the sound quality [if you are playing apple lossless files or wav files) isn't as good as if the speakers were connected directly to your mac via USB. this should be especially noticable because your speakers are so good!
if the music you play is only mp3 or the stuff purchased from itunes then it shouldn't make too much of a difference.
4. keep an eye out on the B+W website: there may come a time when you won't even have to use the airport plug, and you will be able to stream music straight to the speakers. i know that B+W have just done that with the new Zepellin speaker that they make.
hope this helps...

[SOLVED] How to disable built-in speaker when I use the jack port ?

Hi,
I own an Asus X52F-SX053V laptop which has built-in Altec Lancing speaker.
Here is my problem: When I plug my external speaker, or my headphones in the Jack port; I hear the sound through the device plugged in, AND through the built-in speaker.
I'd like to disable the built-in speaker when I'm using an external speaker/headphones.
I currently don't know how to do that, I guess it is possible
I can copy the output of all the commands needed.
Thanks

[SOLVED] When I plug something in the jack port, built-in speakers are automatically disabled.
Here is the trick:
sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
Add the following line:
options snd-hda-intel model=hp-laptop
Restart Alsa, or reboot your computer
Have Fun !
Note: I guess it should work with other Asus computer (A52F, X52F series) and even maybe with other computers which use the following chipset: Intel IbexPeak HDMI

Can't connect my camera using the usb port. Why does an error message appear?

I've connected this camera hundreds of times in the past. But now it says"A USB is attached that is drawing too much current. The hub to which it is attached will be deactivated." What's going on? This is just a little digital point and shoot.

A powered hub is a USB hub with it's own power supply. Google "powered hub". There's plenty to choose from. These don't depend on the computer connection to supply power to the USB devices connected to them. That's the reason for them requiring a separate power supply and of course why they are called "powered hubs".
The fact that your camera works when the printer is disconnected confirms what I have been saying. The machine just cannot supply enough power (I think it's 500mA max) to supply all the devices you want to connect concurrently (or it's right on the ragged edge).
As for seeing the power draw, the info is indeed in the System Profiler*. Select a USB device and look for info labeled "Current Available (mA)" and "Current Required (mA)". It's the current required that I think is the power draw.
* It's also shown in USB Prober in the Developert tools utilities.

Does anyone knows how can I connect a PXW-X70 camera, to a PC and stream with Flash Media Live Encoder 3.2? I connect the camera using the USB port, when I launched Adobe only shows my webcam. Thank you.

Equipment:
PC - Windows 8
Adobe Flash Media Encoder 3.2
Camera: Sony PXW-X70
Thank you....

Just guessing, but Windows wont see it unless you have a driver/interface that makes it appear to windows as a video device.

Trying to connect an 8-port switch to one of the 3 ports on Time Capsule

but even the "connectivity" light is unlit.
cable modem into house gets patched to where i want TC for best signal.
using other ports to connect directly to MacBooks or PC give full gig speed
trying to patch one of the ports back to basement and into linksys 8 port gigabit switch that disperses to:
Two Wired Tivo Series 2 boxes (cause the wireless using WEP was too annoying)
additional PCs in various rooms.
anyone know how to address? all devices that need cabling through house are useless for now

This should work no problem - I've got a Pluscom gigabit switch connected to my TC. Previously had a USR 10/100 switch.
What happens if you connect the switch directly to the modem (with all the other devices disconnected, except for one computer)?
Has the switch worked previously, or is it new?
Has the cabling worked previously?
Since the TC's ethernet ports work with other devices, the fault must lie with the cabling or the switch. Try connecting the switch to the TC using a known working cable.
