How IPAD use the Printer which connected with the Time Capsule
I connnected a printer to time capsule. And I can use the printer in Windows. But I can't use it on IPAD and IPHONE.
So are there any solutions?
iOS devices can only print directly to AirPrint printers. Wireless printers or printers connected to a Time Capsule are not necessarily AirPrint capable.
To print directly from an iPad / iPhone you will need an AirPrint compatible printer or another device to act as a print server. That can be a Mac computer running Printopia ($19.95 with free trial) or handyPrint (donation - supported). The Mac must be "on" but may be asleep for them to work. Equivalent PC options exist but you're on your own finding them.
You can also buy this standalone print server:
http://www.lantronix.com/it-management/xprintserver/xprintserver.html
The xPrintServer Home Edition will support a directly connected USB printer. The Network Edition will support any network printer.
These options enable you to use any printer available to your Mac, even older ones that may predate AirPrint by decades.
Otherwise you will need to buy an AirPrint printer or multifunction device.

My Ipad 2 cant find my HP3050A j661b airprint printer although the printer is connected to the same wireless network and software updates are current on all and my other laptops also work properly with this printer.further more it used to work with my IPAD2 before when I used the old wireless router but now I changed it to HAUWEI HG231f but I set everything in the same way it was. Thanks in advance.
When you change to the new router, did you re-run the CD to re-set the new SSID and password to the printer.
Otherwise your iPad will not be able "talk" to your printer. -

I upgraded to iOS 7 to my ipad using iTunes. When signing with the Apple ID I get an error reading "There was a problem connecting to the server" anyone who knows what to do next
Sounds more like you have a problem with your apple id. For starters go to that page click manage my apple id and singn in. If you can't sign in reset password.

if you can sign in there, try to sign in to itunes on your computer. -
I have an ipod touch 64GB. I have 3,146 songs, 3 videos, 106 photos and 1 app. The capacity of my ipod is 58 GB (I guess the remainder is the OS), It says I have 7.6GB remaining. When I look at my ipod on Itunes on my laptop the bar at the bottom shows a huge amount of storage space is taken up by Apps. I don't have any apps apart from the ones which came with the ipod touch which I cannot erase and wouldnt really want to. I am baffled why it says so much storage has been taken up by Apps! Please help me!!!
Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
Come back with the results.
An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files. Usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
To restore from backup see:

Why can't I connect to my brother MFC-J4510DW printer wirelessly? The printer is connected to the router.
I can surf the web. My wife can print from her PC wirelessly on it.
I wonder if some security setting may be keeping it from connecting to my MacBook Pro. I've installed the software, firmware and driver updates but
it still shows "off line"
with the printer power on. Any suggestions?All I can suggest right now is back up first the try to reset the printing system, (all printers in the list will be removed).
Then connect directly to the printer via ethernet or to the Mac using USB and restart the efforts you have made up until now.
As for router settings, it's possible but not likely that your router only allows a small number of clients. It's also posible that you have MAC address filtering on, lastly are you using the correct wireless protocol, (802.11a/b/g WEP or WPA etc)? -
My windows firewall is disabled (protected by Comcast's Norton program) so that should not be a problem. Should I down load Bonjour?
Hello Bleedingblue65
Check out the section highlighted below to troubleshoot your issues printing through AirPrint.
AirPrint Basics
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
If you are unable to print, or if you see the message "No AirPrint Printers Found"
Verify that the printer:
Has power and is turned on. If it has power, turn the printer off and then on again to see if that resolves the issue.
Is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the iOS device.
Has the latest firmware version installed.
Has paper with enough ink or toner installed.
Is free of any errors displayed on the printer's control panel.
If necessary, consult the printer documentation or contact the printer vendor for help with the above steps.
Notes:
AirPrint printers connected to the USB port of the Apple AirPort Base Station or Time Capsules are not supported with AirPrint.
Some Wi-Fi AirPrint printers can take several minutes to join a Wi-Fi network after being turned on. Ensure that the AirPrint printer is connected to the Wi-Fi network before attempting to print.

I have connected to my wireless canon printer but it wont let me print from my mac pro. printer comes up with the message that the paper size doesnt match the printer settings. I have tried to change the settings on the printer but that didnt work. can anyone help
Well... no help was found here.. so I abandoned the wireless- ness of my printer. I bought a
small 10 port hub because only 2 USB ports really isn't enough with wireless mouse, wireless internet
and any kind of printer. I also bought a long USB cable. I now print--wired since this can be done
as an alternative to wireless with this printer. Because I don't want a cable "hanging around"
when the printer is not in use, I simple disconnect it and reconnect when I want to print.
It's a temporary solution others may find helpful as well. Apparently there's been a lot of
confusion and problems getting this printer set up wirelessly with our MacBooks.
Shame on HP for not helping us out! -
Using a remote desktop connection with the Macbook pro.
I use the remote desktop connection on the Macbook pro and am unable to exchange info between the mac and the remote connetion windows. For example, if I am writing an email from the remote connection and want to attach a document, photo etc. that I created on the Mac, it just doesn't work. It seems like the Mac and the desktop connection are completely seperated eventhough they are both on the screen in front of me. the systems I use for work are not Apple compatible and will not work on anything other than windows explorer and in my case the remote desk top connection. Any ideas!

How to scan HP Photosmart C4580 connected to my Time Capsule.
Hi, I just got a HP Photosmart C4580 connected to my Time Capsule, And I can send my printing jobs without any problem, But I can't scan sending the command throw the network, I tried with the Preview app Image Capture, nothing worked.:-(. When I connect the printer via USB scanner works fine.
How can I send the sanner job to the printer via Time Capsule?No you are using the wifi in the ad hoc mode.. you can join it to the TC in infrastructure mode.. ie as a client of the TC.. and therefore on the network.. what I meant was the TC is not the print server.. the TC has no part in print jobs or scan jobs.. the TC knows nothing.. it is a router and gives an ip to a client.. what that client is, the TC has no idea.. that is what you want.. the TC is uninvolved in the job .. meaning it does not take part in printing or scaning or faxing or anything else. It is merely a switch on the network. It sends packets it does not understand to the right address.

Connection with my Time capsule
Recently my MacBook Pro and my iMac keep loosing contact with my Time Capsule. In order to reconect them I have to reset the TC and sometimes it will take several goes to get it back. Has anyone had this problem and if so how did you resolve it.
Setup the TC again..
Use short names No spaces and pure alphanumeric. for both TC and wireless.. which I guess you are using.. is this wireless, wired or both?? Set a different name for 5ghz.
Lock the wireless channels.
Make sure you use WPA2 Personal security with passkey of 8-12 pure alphanumeric characters.
If that doesn't fix it.. more info..
Does the issue happen on ethernet connection or only wireless?
How old is the TC? After 2-3years they seem to fade away.. in wireless or die suddenly on the power supply. -

Printer cannot connect with the Laptop - IP address are the same which is the issue
I have a HP Photosmart All in One printer that is connected to a desktop wirelessly and it works effectively on the desktop. I had it connected to a laptop as well. It stopped working one day with the laptop and has not worked since. It continues to work with the desktop. I have uninstalled/reinstalled the installation on the laptop, still does not work. When I go to connect the laptop to the network and put in the IP address it says "The IP address entered is currently being used by this computer. Please confirm that your printer actually has this IP address or enter the correct address below and click search" I have checked, double checked and tripled checked and it is the IP address that I got from the printer. Same issue comes up with using the Host name. Can anyone provide me with a solution? Thank you!!
Hi, Please give printer a FIX IP address, say from 200 to 254 and it will stay. Your other devices (phones, tablets ... ) including computers can use other addresses from 2 to 199 or from 1 to 199. Regards.
