How to do wireless printing with aiport extreme and HP c4280

I admit it... I'm a dunce. I usually just plug the usb for the hp c4280 printer right into my macbook pro, but I want to finally be able to use it wirelessly. I have an airport extreme, and i know there is a usb port... how do I add the printer so i can print wirelessly?
obviously i can't just plug it in and print (right? becuase i tried and no go on the printing).
someone please take pity on me!
thanks!

Download the install Bonjour Print Services for Windows v2.0.2
Run the program. Hopefully, your printer will be recognized.
If it is, "install" the printer and try to print.
Keep in mind that if you have an All-in-One type of device, that only the print function will be supported.
Advanced features like copy, scan, maintenance, etc are not supported. You will need to connect the All-in-One directly to your PC if you need those services.

  • Wireless printing with airport extreme and uverse modem

    Hi,
    I'm trying to hook up an airport express so that my PC Windows 7 and Mac Mini mid 2011 can print to both of my laser printers.
    The dell is network attached and the oki is network attached as well as usb attached directly to the express.
    Both systems see the printers but when i send a print job from the MAC it just errors out.  If i send it from the pc like normal then it still works ok.
    I also can't see either printer from my iPad 2 running iOS 5.0.1
    Right now I'm running a UVerse 3800 router/modem and i have the airport express ethernet connected to one of the lan ports of the uverse router.
    All printer drivers are current as well as the MAC software.
    Help

    The dell is network attached and the oki is network attached as well as usb attached directly to the express.
    If both printers are Network-Ready, then there is no need to connect either to the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) by USB. Being Network-Ready, these printers have their own built-in print servers which should be controllable by their front-panel interface and/or via a web-based interface.
    I also can't see either printer from my iPad 2 running iOS 5.0.1
    Unless both printers are AirPrint-enabled, no iOS device will be able to print to them directly.

    how to print with a wireless printer with airport extreme

    The problem is not the router.. the issue is the vpn has put your computer in a different IP range with a different gateway. When you turn off the vpn the computer returns to local lan and can print.
    Some vpn software allows you to set gateway to use local net instead of remote gateway or access to other webistes or local lan.
    Read up the issue.

    I did not search much.. just grabbed the first article I could find that explains the issue.
    The whole point of the vpn is whilst it is connected your computer is NOT part of the Local Lan .. it is part of the Remote LAN via the vpn tunnel.
    It is also a security risk using split tunnelling so often it will not be allowed.
    Plug the printer directly into the computer via usb or whatever.. Local connection will work.. not local lan.

  • Wireless printing with my iMac and iPad...

    I have a lexmark X4530 printer that I would like to set up for wireless printing from my iMac and iPad (mostly the iPad). I don't have the disk that came with my printer. I currently have the printer wired to my iMac and it is working fine. I tried to print from my iPad, it found the printer but says there is a connection error. I'm not sure what order to connect all this in. Do I set up printer wirelessly to my iMac first or can I just leave printer plugged into iMac and print from iPad wirelessly? Also I tried to use the wireless setup assistant that installed on the iMac when I first plugged in the printer, but it tells me (after entering in all necessary information) that there is a connection error. Please help!!

    Repair your disk permission: http://bit.ly/OeD7U3

    Run firmware update http://bit.ly/AcNqbg

  • Wireless Printing with Airport Extreme just stopped

    Strangely, it is not working on one of my 3 computers only! Was working with all 3, today it would not print from my iMac with Intel 2.33 GHz.
    No problem recognizing the printer. When I print the printer comes on, the printer head moves normally but a blank page comes out.
    I have tried all the suggestions from Apple under the heading "Top Searches", subheading "Aiport Extreme/Express wireless printing" and I have also repaired disk permissions but nothing has changed.
    Why would wireless printing work in an older computer and not a newer one? I have all the latest updates in BOTH the iMac and my Power Book so I can't blame a Security Update etc.
    What now?
    iMac Intel 2.33 GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.10)   Power Book G4, HP PSC 2410 All-in-one
    iMac Intel 2.33 GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.10)   Power Book G4, HP PSC 2410 All-in-one

    The exact problem for me. I also have checked all me settings, they seem to be
    the way they should, but I can not get to print whatever.
    I hope someone tell us what to do to make the printer work in an Airport
    Extreme connection

  • Wireless Printing with Airport Extreme?

    I have a iMac(OS-X 10.3.9) and an Airport Extreme (white model) I wish to hook up my Epson USB printer to the Airport Extreme and use the Airport as a wireless printer router. It says I can now print from any Mac on my network using OS 10.2.3 or later. However, I have a windows XP (boo! Hiss! long story) on my network also. Can I use the Airport Extreme to print from my Windows wireless machine too and how do you set it up?
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Hi Moosewood
    I don't think the folk in this forum know too much about windows. I suggest you post in the
    Windows Compatibility forum, and i hope you get a better response. If not try the Airport forum.
    good luck.
    regards roam

  • How to setup a printer with Airport Extreme + Express Network

    Ok so here's how things are setup. I have an Extreme connected to my cable modem creating the wireless network. I have a PC that doesn't have a wireless card, so I setup an Express next to it. The Express takes in the wireless signal, and the PC is connected to the Express through ethernet and has a successful connection. Next I want to connect my printer to the USB port of the Express and share it over the network. It doesn't work plug and play. From the Airport utility, the express recognizes the printer, however, the computers on the network do not see it. Can this be set up to work? If so, what am I missing?
    Thanks

    If you are on PC's, you will need to download the bonjour for windows.
    just google it.

  • Real wireless printing with airport extreme

    My D-link 615 router and Brother HL-3070CW work flwalessly for two years.
    I decided to get an AEBS when D-link gave up. I thought I will be able to connect my printer to the AEBS as easily as I did with the D-link.
    I have a sony desktop/windows 7. I cannot connect my printer via USB port. I need a way to wirelessly connect my printer to the AEBS.
    My problem is that the printer cannot detect the wireless network after I installed the station. I tried to reinstall the printer but it did not work.
    I really like the dvice, but I cannot keep it if I cannot connect the printer wirelessly to four computers. I do not have a wired netwrok.
    Is there any way or link or instruction that can help me solve this issue. I apprecite your input and let me know if I need to add any missing details.

    Anyone?

  • Problem printing with Airport extreme and Windows Vista

    I have just purchased a HP Laserjet printer that I have connected to my airport extreme. When I turn on Bonjour, my computer detects the printer, but when I try to configure it, a message apears saying I don't have the authorisation to do so...
    Please tell me if you have any idea how to solve this!

    I just got off the HP "chat" technical assistance about my HP DV6500z doing this same thing. At least for my model there is an October BIOS update. She had me re-install the Broadcom drivers and run the BIOS update. Now the whole computer runs faster in addition to connecting wirelessly! Not only that, I can use the "closed" network feature through the Airport Utility to hide my network as I did in the past and the PC finds it! I guess through all of the very testy notes on HP's discussion board they finally came through (well, at least on this model). My model has the AMD processor so if yours is Intel it may not be the same. I recommend going to their TA chat line or type in your model on their Software & Driver page to see if there is a recent revision on your models BIOS. The one I downloaded was dated 10-2007.

  • Can't print with Airport Extreme and Canon MP610

    Can anyone suggest a way around this?
    I am unable to print using my new Canon MP610 multifunction printer when connected via my Airport Extreme, but I can print when connecting the printer to my computer directly, not using the Airport Extreme. After several hours of frustration, updating drivers and firmware, etc, I contacted Canon and received an email back stating:
    "MP610 is not supported by
    Canon with a wireless connection through an Apple Airport. This does
    not necessarily mean that it will not work, but we are not able to
    provide configuration and troubleshooting information."
    Last summer, my daughter was able to use the same Extreme to print wirelessly using her Mac Book Pro and her Canon MP600 multifunction printer (note - different printer model).
    Sounds like Canon isn't saying it won't work, but they cant' help.
    If anyone can offer a suggestion to work around this, I'd appreciate it.
    Thanks,
    Doug

    It is possible your printer simply cannot be made to work in this manner, and is more often than not a problem with multifunction printers.

    Hi Steve74Navy,
    I believe that this printer can only be connected by USB cable. See online manual.

  • How to secure wireless connection with additional laptop and ipod touch.

    Hello,
    We are new to Mac and struggling with internet security. 
    We have a wireless internet dongle that connects into a USB port and some days our ipod touch can connect other days it cant, I am never prompted for a password to connect.  This morning we were setting up a new laptop for our daughter and it found our wireless network and informed us it was unsecured. So we assume anyone within range is utilising our wireless connection.
    If I turn on firewalls it shuts off everything, if we look at airport we get even more confused.
    Is there a simple way to resolve this so our internet connection is for our house only and new devises that try to connect need to enter a password.
    Thank you for your help!
