How to have ethernet connected PC use printer and USB HD connected into TC

So I just got a new Time Capsule (500GB) and the way I have it connected is the cable modem goes through it and then another ethernet cable connects to my desktop PC (no wireless on this PC). Then I have my USB printer and USB HD going into the USB port on the Time Capsule via a USB Hub. Airport utility sees both the HD and the Printer.
My problem is that I can't get my PC to see the HD or the Printer. How does a PC connected through a ethernet cable and not wireless see and use these two peripherals? I have Bonjour for Windows installed but I thought that was for a wireless connection? Also is there a way to open some kind of configuration thing for Bonjour on my PC? Where on my PC would I find the HD and Printer (like in Windows Explorer or Network Places), I can't find these devices anywhere except when looking in the Airport Utility Manual Setup.
Any help would be much appreciated. I don't have much technical knowledge about networks.
Edit: One last thing is that before getting the TimeCapsule, I had a regular D-Link router running my wireless network and the printer was connected directly to the PC. This setup allowed my Macbook to use the printer and access any shared folders/files on my PC. My Mackbook was recently stolen and my new one will arrive next week, so right now I can't really test whether the Macbook can see and use the HD and Printer if they are connected to the Time Capsule. I'm wondering if I should just go back to plugging the HD and printer into the PC and running the network sharing that way????

Just wanted to bump this question to see if anyone has any answers. My main issue is seeing the time capsule from my Windows desktop and the connected harddrive. However, my new problem is that whenever I connect the USB Windows Formated HD to the Time Capsule the whole thing just stops working and my PC and my MacBook can't read the Time Capsule at all until I turn of the USB HD. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Everybody,

    Not using any mouse pad, I have a very smooth desktop. But I just tried to use a sheet of A4 printing paper, but no result, the problem persisted.
    Someone on this forum suggested, that USB3 may interfere with the magic mouse.
    I have 2 LaCie HDD's about 70 cm away from the mouse, I use them on Thunderbolt. But in operation or not - the result is the same, the mouse plays up! Just now I was clicking the desktop and the mouse created a new folder!!
    Thanks for the advice, Bee

    Is it possible to have Time Machine backUp computer HD AND external HD connected to Airport Extreme.
    Sorry, but no.
    Time Machine will backup your Mac, but not the hard drive attached to the AirPort Extreme.
    Time Machine will back up a hard drive only if it is attached directly to your Mac via USB or FireWire.

    Hi
    I have a problem with color prints from photoshop elements 12. The pictures are too light and with strange colors. I have a Canon pixma mg615I0 printer and use mac os X yosemite. The pictures are taken with a coanon eos 550d in the color space sRGB. I have followed adobes recommendations and have tried both letting the printer respektive photoshop manage the colors. But nothing works. I see that there are different opinions about which is best to do so I tried both. I have the latest printer driver installed. Can anyone help me with this?

    Do the following:
    Print a test page from the printer. Perhaps the print head needs cleaning via its maintenance facility.
    Let the printer manage colors, not PSE
    Calibrate the monitor

    Put simply, the minimum system requirements for iTunes have changed. You need a Mac running at least OS X 10.6.8.
    It's best you look online to see if your model of Mac can be upgraded to at least 10.6.8 "Snow Leopard". It should still be possible to order a copy of Snow Leopard if so.

  • Problems with printer and external HD connected via Time Capsule with Windo

    Hello everyone!
    In January I bought an iMac 27 "(OS version: OS X 10.6.2) and a week ago a Time Capsule 1TB.
    I connected the iMac and a laptop with Windows XP SP3 both via ethernet to the TC, and to the USB port of the TC a USB hub to which I connected a Canon iP4200 and a LACIE 500GB HARD DISK.
    I reformatted the hard disk file system to Lacie Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and installed MacDrive 8 in the laptop.
    Now (after formatting the HD), with the iMac everything works: internet connection via ethernet or wireless, printing via ethernet or wireless as well as hard disk connection via ethernet or wireless.
    Laptop, instead, is only able to connect to the internet via ethernet or wireless while it isn't able to see and use printer and external hard drive, even though I installed AirPort Utility for Windows!
    The laptop also detects the AirPort disk of the TC but if I enter the (correct) password I get an error message!..
    Please, somebody help me, I do not know what to do!
    Thanks

    Have you run Bonjour on the Win PC's? Do a search on the support page and there's a description on getting things up and running from a WinPC in a Mac environment.

  • I have just recently lost use of 2 USB ports and my isight camera.  I have an isight G5 imac that has been working great.  I have rebooted, reloaded my OS, and tried PRAM reset.  I can use my keyboard, but not other peripherals.  Any ideas on diagnostics?

    I have just recently lost use of 2 USB ports and my isight camera.  My keyboard works fine, but there is not any indication of connections when probing USB in "About this MAC".  I have rebooted, executed a PRAM reset, and reloaded my OS, but to no avail I am out 2 of my 3 USB ports.  I don't know how to diagnose the issue.  Any ideas?
    --kevinfromflagstaff

    Well, if you've tried different USB cords and devices and have reset your PRAM:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    And SMC:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    I'd say your USB ports are shot - since they are an integral part of the logic board, replacing it will most likely be expensive. I'd still go for a definitive diagnosis at the Genius Bar.

  • I have a new hp 2050 printer and received a 10.0000 supply memory error message. what does this mean

    I have a new hp 2050 printer and received a 10.0000 supply memory error message. Can anyone tell me what this means and how to fix it?

    mickeymackey, this error looks similar to a related error code that I found for laserjets. Here is a summation of that error code:
    http://goo.gl/W7dP6
    This describes the problem as being a cartridge error, in which case I would follow the instructions in this document and see if that resolves the issue:
    http://goo.gl/h6hWz
    that does not resolve the issue, then I would recommend performing a hard reset of the printer. This would involve unplugging the printer for thirty seconds from both the back of the unit as well as from the outlet it is plugged into and then plugging the machine back in and powering it on.
    A few additional questions are: Is this printer plugged into a surge protector, wall outlet or battery backup? The ink you are using, are they original HP cartriges or have they been refilled before?
    Let me know!

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

    Zyriab's suggestion is the best way. But if you have Terminal-phobia, use Disk Utility (diskutil's GUI counterpart). All successfully connected drives should be listed in the sidebar on the left.

  • How Achieve timedseries calculations with out using AGO And ToDate function

    Hi,,
    1)
    How Achieve timedseries calculations with out using AGO And ToDate functionion
    this question asking in interview ..is it possible..?
    if yes please response as soon as possible..
    2) i have 2 cloumns Product and value...
    client requirement is they need ranks based on Value ..in dashboard .using dashboard prompt..edit box...if user enter any number (ex :5 ) report should show top 5 ranks if he enter 20 should be top 20 ranks..
    how to achive this ?
    thanks,
    raj

    Consider yor first question:
    1. Yes, we can create timeseries measures without using AGO and TODATE
    1. Create ALIAS of fact tabe in the physical layer
    2. Join the Time id from the ALIAS fact table with the YAGO_MONTH_ID column from your time dimension table (For calculating Year Ago variants) similarly join with MAGO_MONTH_ID column for Month Ago measures.
    3.Pull the ALIAS tables as an additional Logical table source in the Lgical layer
    4.Keep the mapping of the columns from the ALIAS table as its is
    5. For e.g If you pick Revenue from the Year Ago Alias table it will give you the "Prior Year Revenue"
    See if this helps you
