How do I set up the wireless printing from my airport express?

I have a Canon printer, Macbook Pro and Airport Express. The printer correctly hooked up to the airport. My Macbook can't find the printer on the wireless network in order to print. Help!

Is your Canon printer Air Print capable?
If not, does Canon have an application for that printer to work wirelessly?

Does anyone know how to get an ipad to use the wireless network from an airport?

Does anyone know how to get an Ipad to use the wireless network from an airport express?

By default, the AirPort Express will broadcast an unsecure wireless network with a Network Name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN. Your iPad should "see" this network and be able to connect to it. Have you tried going through the iPad's Settings > Wi-Fi > Choose a Network... option. If so, does the AirPort's wireless network appear in the list of available networks?
Can other wireless devices connect to the AirPort's network?

How do I set up Ipad2 to print from how PC?

To print from an iPad, you will either need an AirPrint-enabled printer or use a software solution, like Printopia. Unfortunately, Printopia I believe only works with Macs so it would not be a viable option in your case.

How do I set up wireless printing to my Airport Express?

I run my 17" MBP through a DLink wireless router which is located next to my modem in my basement. I have an Airport Express station (not the Base or the Extreme) which I used to use for wireless iTunes serving to my stereo, but which I now wish to use as a wireless print server in my study upstairs. I am not, however, using the Airport Express station for internet.
I can't find any useful instructions or step-by-step guides to set up a printer on my Airport Express. Can anybody point out how to do this and/or refer me to the appropriate KB article?
Many thanks,

Yes but they don't seem to be making it to the post to be deleted Punctuation seems to be a possible cause
If your goal is to use one network with the AE and your other router online the AE needs to be connected to the modem as the base station as the AE can only be a wireless bridge with an Airport Extreme or connect the AE via ethernet from your other router
The printing is usually as easy as plugging in the printer and selecting it from your printer list AE is a print server and I use a 4 port hub with 4 printers connected They used to be listed as Rendezvous printers but lately mine are just showing as a connected printer but is printing wirelessly
Finder > Applications >Utilities > Airport Setup and Airport Admin utilities are pretty straight forward for setting up the routers. I have had and there are still issues being reported with the AE and certain configurations. My first gen MBP1.1 could see it but not connect and my MBP2.2 connected immediately and settings on both machines were the same.

Setting Up The Wireless Printer On My Daughters New Laptop

Hi,
I have just started using Airport Express at my girlfriends. I have setup her laptop to also have wireless access to the printer.
The printer is a Dell All In One Printer A920,
my girlfriends laptop is a Dell Inspirion 1150, my daughters new laptop is a Dell Insprion (I can not remember the model number).
I have just bought a new laptop for our daughter and i want her to be able to use our printer from her bedroom wirelessly as well.
How do I set up her laptop to use our printer?
Obviously, my girlfriends laptop had the original printer software on it for the printer while it was connected via USB. I had to then set up the printer again using Add a Printer, in Printer and Faxes in the Control Panel, so she could use it wirelessly, as per the Airport intstructions, but the printer software was already there.
My daughters laptop does not have this software on it. Do I need to install it first, even though the printer is not connected to it physically, or can I just set it up using Add a Printer? The instructions don't explain how to set up a second computer correctly to use the wireless printer!!
What is the correct procedure for setting up a second laptop to use the printer on my wireless network??
Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it.
Dell Inspiron 1150 Windows XP I am about to switch to Mac!!!

I have tried both myself, (I must say iFelix does a very good job), I find out that the Bonjour is more easy and proves it works prefectly under few system. Regarding the suggestion of iFelix, I do not the reason behind, in few cases it did not work (NOT THE SETUP BUT THE PRINTING)on my HP's printer, but no problem at all under the Bonjour.
You just need to download and install the Bonjour on your computer, connect your printer with your airport, make a connection between your daughter PC with the airport. Then run the Bonjour setup, follow the instructions, you will able to see the printer there, just add the driver for your printer. Good Luck

How can I set up the canon printer mf4380dn for macbook pro MD318

I can not set up the canon printer mf4380dn for macbook pro MD318 even thought I set up the printing driver already. The printer usually work good for printing via windows laptop.
I tried some way but error appear "unable to verify the printer on your network". I printing IP is available

Upgrade your RAM to at least 4GB's. Your machine can support 6GB's, but upgrade to 4GB's first. Regardless of what Apple says, you need at least 4GB's to run Lion properly.

I just purchased a wireless connection for my Tivo but the signal strength from my airport express does not allow the tivo to load data. How do I increase the signal strength?

I just purchased a wireless N network adapter for the TIVO premier and am trying to use my apple airport express to connectand it is in the another room. I am only receiving one bar of strength on my network adapter. How can I raise the signal strength of my airport express.

There are several things that might help, not all of which would be feasible depending on your situation: (1) Move the TiVo unit and AirPort Express closer together. (2) Use another AirPort Express to "extend" the network of the first AirPort Express. Put the second AirPort Express half way between the first AirPort Express and the TiVo unit. (3) In the general case, Power-Line equipment might allow the TiVo unit to get a good signal, but it's likely that the Ethernet port of your AirPort Express is probably connected to your broadband modem, so that solution wouldn't work for you. (4) Changing the band or channel that the AirPort Express is using might help. If the TiVo unit is connection on the 5 GHz band, try one of the three-digit channels, which are allowed to use higher power.

How do i set up my wireless printer to print using the internet from a remote location? 8500 pro

I have two offices and would like to print things off for my staff in different locations from my computer any place I am. I understood that I should be able to do so with the wireless system. What setting is not set proper?

Hi,
The latest printers provide remote printing by the HP ePrint feature,
If your printer is the HP Officejet Pro 8500 (A909) as i can figure from your description, the ePrint feature unfortunately not supported by your printer.

How do I set up for Wireless printing on a Mac

Hi Guys,
I have purchased the HP Laser jet P1102w recently. I took the printer on a location job and used it for the first time. It was quite a soimple process of connecting the printer and MAC automatically downloaded and installed the software.
As we were out of the office, we were not connected to the wireless network and therefore was not able to set up the printer on the netwrok.
Now that we are back in the office I want to set up the printer so that it can be used wirelessly by all the devices connected to the network.
I am unable to work out how to do this on MAC OS X 10.6.8. I removed the printer from the Print & Scan Utility and tried to install it again while connected to the network, however I am still only able to print while connected by USB.
I understand that I can print via the connected device on the network but would rather have it set up to do so wireless all together.
Please can you point me in the direction of finding the instructions to set this up?
All help is most appreciated.

Hi @EI2014 ,
Make sure Safari is set as the default browser. Sometimes the Embedded Web Server won't open in other browsers.
Open Safari, across the top select the Safari menu, select Preferences, General, set as default.
Clear out any old network settings on the printer.
Turn the printer off, hold down the wireless button and cancel (x button) while turning the printer back on and don't release the two buttons until the printer stops making noise.
Print out a configuration report and make sure the SSID and IP address are cleared.
Printing a Configuration Page.
Connect the USB cable from the printer to the Mac.
Go to the Apple, system preferences, print and fax.
Double click on the P1102w.

How do i set up my wireless printer to work with my ipad 2

My ipad will not reconize my lexmark wireless printer what can I do

In UK BT generally use PPPoA authentication only so you will have to keep using the home hub as the main router. Put the Time Capsule.. TC.. in bridge mode. To do this go to the airport utility, on menu selection go to internet, and make sure it is set to ethernet for method of connection, and in connection sharing, select bridge. Then select update.. it will probably list some issues like password needing changing and access via wan etc .. almost all of which you can simply ignore.. as you are not using it in router mode.
The TC will save the setting and restart.. it will now exist as a wireless access point and switch on the network. The WAN is swapped to LAN, so there is no WAN port as such but it is still convenient to use WAN port marked <...> ethernet between home hub and the TC. Then setup wireless as you like. You can turn off the wireless in home hub, and just use the TC.. or use both, on different channels. That is no big problem. Set the security for the wireless is important and I would also manually set wireless channels and use different name for the 2.4ghz and 5ghz wireless. But just start and learn what you need to as you go along. Getting the basics working should be fairly easy. Some of the more complex stuff you just need to read carefully the instructions..
And read this site.
Carefully and until your eyes bleed. Almost everything you want to know is there already.

Have a new 5s iPhone how do I set up the finger print ID?

My new 5s phone how do I activate the finger print ID?

It's under settings. However you still use the 4 digit code sometimes. Set up finger print. Turn screen off and then turn screen on. U should see a lock screen. At that time hold your finger on the home button for three seconds. Screen should unlock using finger print.

I just set up a wireless network using an airport express. How can you change the network name

How can you change the name of a wireless network set up with an airport express

Yes, you can. If you use the current AirPort Express, Apple says that you can connect up to 50 devices. Realistically, make that 25-30 or so before the speed really begins to drop.
Remember that you will have to reset the modem though, before you connect it to the AirPort Express as the modem "remembers" the settings for your computer.

Hi Duane,
Thanks for clarifying the hardware setup. Using the S-video connection from Hi8 to the DV converter is a good workflow. If you are showing a few errant lines at the bottom, that is a by-product of analog tape and please keep in mind that they are likely in the "overscan" area which normally does not show up to the TV viewer, though you see it in the edit software because you see the full overscan image edge-to-edge. So you probably don't have to worry about that, but if it bugs you, you can use the CROP effect to remove, or create a black title overlay to "hide" that stuff. As you said earlier, you can scale the whole picture up, but that is going to soften the image, not good.
As for shrinking the picture - this is only helpful when producing HD content (i.e Blu-ray) and mixing in some SD source material. I see this used on HD documentaries a lot. When they need to show some older SD footage, it is shown "actual size" over some sort of background. By showing the SD clip at actual size, it is not scaled at all and keeps it's quality on the HD display. If making a DVD, which is standard definition, then there is nothing to gain from this practice and it would in fact make things worse because you are reducing the resolution!
For a 75-minute project, I would use CBR 7.0 encoding to MPEG-2 for DVD.
