How do I manage to setup my Canon to print via Time Capsule

Dear MacGurus
I've got a Canon MP520 printer/scanner that I've connected to my MacBook Air (OS X 10.8.1) and works well with printing & scanning. Just received my 2TB Time Capsule and want to set it up as a printerserver. I've joined it to my local WLAN that connects to Internet and set it up with Time lapse for backup.
Now, plugging the MP520 USB into the back of the TC I go to System Preferences -> Print & Scan. Here I naturally see the MP520 being unplugged from my McBook Air (as it is now plugged in to the TC...) Anyway, I click the small [+]-icon and selects "Add new printer or scanner". Here I now see the "Canon MP520 series" listed as a "Bonjour"/printer with Location on my TC. Selecting it and clicking "Add" a pop/says "Setting up Canon MP520 series-2, downloading software" and the progress par reaches some 30% progress when I get the following error message:
"Can't install the software for the Canon MP520 series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."
What is the problem? The printer works fine locally, but not over the air. Is it not supported by Bonjuor?
Kind regards
Niclas

Much more likely they don't have network drivers for ML.. try downloading whatever software is required directly and then installing it instead of allowing auto install.

  • Canon MP810 printer on Time Capsule permanently off line

    I've just got a new Time Capsule.
    My Canon MP810 printer was recognised immediately, but whatever I have tried, my Macbook shows it as off line.
    Can anyone help?

    Welcome to the discussions!
    There are a number of things that could cause your printer to be off line, so the best plan would be to use the Apple Troubleshooting Guide to work through the possibilities.
    Sometimes the last step...resetting the printing system...will resolve an issue like yours, but it is best to start at the beginning of the guide.
    Also bear in mind that although your printer is recognized, it may or may not function correctly when installed at the USB port on the Time Capsule. If it is compatible and you have an all in one device, only the printing function will work when the device is connected at the USB port on the Time Capsule. If you need to scan, copy, or perform maintenance functions, you will need to connect the Canon to your computer.

  • Can anyone tell me how to port forward and setup an XBOX 360 using my Time Capsule??

    Xbox 360
    When playing the game online, the minimum speed of your network should be 128kbps. The ideal network speed for playing the game online is 768kbps. If you are having a problems with lag check the following:
    Network Troubleshooting:
    Disable any firewall or security features on your router.
    Set port forwarding on your router to the IP address of your Xbox 360. This game uses port 3074 (UDP/TCP). Additionally Xbox LIVE requires ports 80, 53 TCP and 88, 53 UDP.
    Place your Xbox 360 into the DMZ of your router.
    Disconnect your router and try the game. If it works regularly at this point something about your router may not be completely compatible with the specific needs of this game. Check with your router manufacturer and Microsoft's Xbox Live Connection Issues page for additional steps that may need to be done to resolve the issue you are having. You can also verify that you have an Xbox Live compatible router.
    If you are having issues connecting while multiple Xbox 360 consoles are connected on the same network, try forwarding port 3074 (UDP/TCP) for one Xbox 360 and setting the other as DMZ. There is a chance that this may not resolve you issue,  if it doesn’t then you may want to consider getting an additional public IP address by contacting your Internet Service Provider and assigning it to one of these two consoles.
    NOTE: If setting port forwarding or DMZ helps your connection issue, you may want to assign your Xbox 360 a static IP address within your home network. This can help to ensure that the configurations you made do not need to be done again. You can visit PortForward's Static IP Guide for a detailed guide on how to do this.
    NOTE: Many broadband internet modems are coming with routing capabilities built in. Please contact your internet service provider to determine if your internet modem has an integrated router. If it does, they should be able to assist you with the steps above for setting up your router.
    Once you have verified that your network setup is not the cause of the issue, try the following:
    Try connecting to a different server. Some servers may have other players connected to them that you do not have an optimal connection with. In most games this is accomplished by backing out to the main menu and then selecting multiplayer again. From there you can try connecting to another online game.
    Run the Xbox Network Self Test to see how strong your NAT is currently set to. Once the test is completed you will be notified if there is an issue with your connection. If you select "More Info" you will be given information about your NAT type and some steps to resolve any issues with your connection.
    Moderate and Strict NAT types may have issues connecting to online matches. You may get the error "Notice - The game session is no longer available." If you do then enabling UPnP, forwarding port 3074, or placing your Xbox in your router's DMZ may resolve this issue. Please consult your router documentation for instructions on how to do this.

    Whoa....this just went way over my head.... I already have 6.1 installed for my Airport Utility.
    Read again what I wrote.. 6.1 is the problem.. or part of it.
    You need to install the earlier 5.6 version which I have given you explicit instructions to do.
    I have done something now and can not connect the XBOX at all now....unless you can provide me step by step directions I may have to call Apple Support.
    This will happen over and over.. just press reset and start again.. you need to learn how to do the setup and using 5.6 utility will help you.. as will using ethernet from the computer to the TC.. trying to fix things over wireless is like sitting on a tree branch you are sawing off. As soon as you update you will fall to the ground.
    I am not that sure that Apple Support will have any idea.
    Do a google search .. you will find most people struggle with this.. Microsoft made the xbox to use upnp with vista specs.. if you use a router without upnp, ie any apple router.. you will have issues.
    Have a go at bypassing the problem.. I have no idea if this will work.. I do not use a TC as the main router because much of my network including xbox and ps3 is just a pain.. I use a modem router with upnp. And bridge the TC.. that is the setup I would recommend.
    Try this.. once you have installed 5.6 utility.
    Get the IP of the XBox and click enable default host.. and put the IP address in there.. this is called DMZ.. all unassigned packets are forwarded to this ip address.. it is like a port forwarding for all ports.
    See if it helps.. If it does you will need to lock the xbox address so it doesn't change.. we can get to that.
    Tell me what kind of broadband you have and what modem router first.. none of this will work if you have double NAT.

  • How to retrieve files on external HDD via Time Capsule?

    I have external HDDs connected to Time Capsule but when I access those HDDs, they don't show the files that were stored in them.  However, when I check the "Get Info" on those HDDs, it shows how much capacity is used and how much is available.  How can I retrieve my files on those external HDDs via Time Capsule?  Many thanks for your help!!

    How is the drive formatted?
    Does it show up in the airport utility?
    TC has very restricted ability to read HFS+ (ie standard Mac format) or Fat32.

  • How to make manager approve more than one request in one time in SSHR

    Dear All,
    Anyone has an idea on how to make manager approver more than one request in one time in SSHR??
    for example, manager is having 20 requests to approve on Change Pay Function, he don't want to check one by one and approve it, he want to approve the 20 requests directly from one time, is there any solution for that??
    Thanks and Regards

    Hi Adel,
    As Vignesh has mentioned we don't have any standard functionality which will allow bulk approvals. We had same kind of requirement in performance management where the business was asking for a bulk approval feature which should be available to Skip level manager for approving the rating suggested by line manager. We had created a custom page which will list all the notifications and user can select the ones which S/He wants to bulk approve and click submit button. Internally we had called the workflow with item key and other required parameter and do the approval.
    You can have a work with your technical guy and can work on the same lines.
    Thanks,
    Sanjay

  • I connected my Canon printer to time capsule, and can print OK. However, I can't get the printer scanner to work. How do you set up the scanner with Time Capsule?

    I connected my Canon printer to time capsule, and can print OK. However, I can't get the printer scanner to work. How do you set up the scanner with Time Capsule?

    You cannot use USB. It has to be a network capable printer.. is it?? You did not indicate how it is connected.. but by wireless or ethernet then scanning is possible otherwise not.

  • How do I set up my MacBook Pro to print via wi-fi to my printer

    How do I set up my MacBook Pro to print via wi-fi to my printer?

    It is rather hard to know how to help you since, among other things, you didn't tell us what printer you own, what you've tried thus far, and what happened when you tried it. Your printer came with documentation and it may have even come with a disk that takes you through the process step by step. My first two suggestions are that you (1) make sure you know the password and SSID of your wireless router. You'll definitely need the password and you might need to know the router's ID name. (2) read and try to follow the instructions that came with your printer. In general, I've found that Canon and HP instructions and setup software are quite good while Brother wireless printers, at least in the past, have been rather flaky to set up (but work fine once that initial headache is dealt with).

  • How can I set up mhy Airport Express to extend my Time Capsule wifi wirelessly

    How can I set up mhy Airport Express to extend my Time Capsule wifi wirelessly
    Assuming that you have the model A1264 or A1392 version of the Express, it must be located where it can receive a strong wireless signal from the Time Capsule to be able to extend it correctly.
    A good general location would be a point that is about half way between the Time Capsule and other area that needs more wireless coverage.
    You will use AirPort Utility on your computer to configure the Express. An iPhone or iPad could be used as well.
    We can provide more help....if you need it....but we'll need to know what version of AirPort Utility that you are using on your computer....or whether you want to use an iPhone or iPad to setup the Express.

  • How can I set up a guest access point with a Time Capsule and an Airport Extreme? I am using a Telus router with the Time Capsule used as a wireless access point (bridge mode). I don't want the guest access point to have access to my network.

    How can I set up a guest access point with a Time Capsule and an Airport Extreme? I am using a Telus router with the Time Capsule used as a wireless access point (bridge mode). I don't want the guest access point to have access to my network.

    The Guest Network function of the Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme cannot be enabled when the device is in Bridge Mode. Unfortunately, with another router...the Telus...upstream on your network, Bridge Mode is indicated as the correct setting for all other routers on the network.
    If you can replace the Telus gateway with a simple modem (that performs no routing functions), you should be able to configure either the Time Capsule or the AirPort Extreme....whichever is connected to the modem....to provide a Guest Network.

  • How can I set up a wi-fi network, using one time capsule and two airport express

    how can I set up a wi-fi network, using one time capsule and two airport express ?
    The time capsule is near the Mac. ok
    The first Airport is on the corridor, ok, works well and the App on the iPad signals so, ok
    But when I plug the next Airport on another room nearby nothing happens, and signals disconected ....
    is the signal so weak that is not able to go to ono room to the other ?

    Well, even if you have the first express set up to extend the network, the second express can only extend from the TimeCapsule.
    Maybe you got walls of sheetrook in the way, or kitchen/bathroom tiles, etc, dampening the signal rapidly.

  • How do I give access to a windows vista to the Time capsule 2 TB drive?

    I just got a time capsule, I have set it up on my mac,  I was able to share printing between time capsule and windows via Bonjour for windows.
    How do I get the windows vista pc to see the 2 tb hard drive in the Wi-Fi or Airport network?  I have read through the instructions and do not see any references to acheive this,  Can anyone point me in the right direction ?

    This has nothing to do with Time Capsule, Macintosh and Windows use entirely different disk structures. TM needs a disk formatted for Mac, Windows needs, well Windows format.
    First you will need to move everything on it elsewhere, partitioning and formatting is going to erase everything on it, do you have somewhere to put the contents of the drive?
    The best advice is to get another drive and let TM have its own storage.

  • IPhone/iPad 2 Canon MP970 via Time Capsule

    iPhone and iPad says no AirPrint found
    I though I could print from iPhone/iPad to Canon via Time Capsule, or?

    Not sure what the time capsule has to do with it.
    If your printer is an airprint enable printer, then you can use it with airprint.  If it is not airprint enabled then you cannot.
    You can look for apps that provide printing.
    iOS: AirPrint 101

  • How can I access iTunes media from my iPad to my time capsule

    How can I access iTunes media from my iPad to my time capsule with out a computer

    Really not suitable.. The TC is a dumb hard disk in a router.. it is not a media server..
    You can move your itunes library to the TC.. but if you do that.. one day the TC will die and take your library with it.. as well as giving slow response to every network device.. this is really not suitable.
