How to print with a wireless printer with airport extreme

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.

  • Problems with Macbook wireless connection to Airport Extreme

    I have been experiencing an issue with setting up and connecting my Macbook (new in April 08 and running OS X 10.5.5) and a new Airport Extreme purchased a few days ago. Essentially the Macbook struggles to connect wirelessly, or even to recognise the airport extreme. When connected directly using an Ethernet cable their are no problems (this is ultimately how I configured the airport extreme). The airport extreme wireless connection works faultlessly with my 3G iPhone and the Macbook seems to connect fine to other wireless networks. Anyone got any ideas / suggestions?

    It sounds like we may have similar problems. I have a new MacBook Pro and I just bought a new AEBS 802.11n. It shows up intermittently on the MacBook available networks and I can only occasionally configure it using the airport utility, but then it fails to connect after that and I have to reset the AEBS and start over. Curiously, the AEBS shows up consistently on my iPhone, so I think this is a problem on the MacBook side. Unfortunately I can't configure the AEBS via the iPhone (at least I don't think I can).
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

  • HT4262 How can I connect 6 computers simultaneously to Airport extreme?

    I have tried troubleshooting several ways and the some computers work and others don't. How can I connect 6 wireless computers to Airport Extreme?

    Is it possible to speak on the phone?  The situation is so convoluted it might be easier to help me get back on track in person. When I first had this issue I got on an apple site that had a chat room in which I typed in my problem.  After several missives back and forth, the apple technician asked for my number and we spoke on the phone. The technician walked me through rebooting the actual airport plug (as opposed to the router box) and got me up and running. Do you know how I can relocate that chat site for technical support?
    Thanks

  • How do I set up wireless printing of my Officejet Pro 8500 on a laptop with Windows 8?

    How do I set up wireless printing from my all in one Officejet Pro 8500 printer to my laptop with Windows 8?

    You can set up your printer for wireless pretty easily if you have the Full Feature Software installed on your computer for your printer.  The setup is done as part of the installation.
    Read through below, then select how you wish to proceed.  There is a video to assist - see below!
                                                               Install Printer Driver / Software
    If your printer stops working (and it’s not a hardware problem), it may be due to software or driver issues.  There are tools to help you diagnose the problem and help documents to guide you to success. 
    You might just desire extra features for your printer, or need extra tools to help with scheduled maintenance.
     In many cases, you can (re)install the Full Feature Softwarefor your printer to enhance its capabilities.  The HP Solution Center is an integrated part of the FFS.  For e-print, you will want the e-print software.
    If you have the CD that came with your printer, use that to install your Printer software  -- IF the CD is compatible with your current Operating System.  If you do not have the CD, or if the software on the CD is outdated, then you can use the online installation tools.
    (Re)install the basic driver or HP Printer Full Feature Software or other software for your printer:
    Drivers control hardware connected to the computer (wired or wireless)
    Software controls the programs that interact with the User
    Go to the top of the forum page to Support and Drivers
     Officejet Pro 8500 Series
    Enter your Printer Model information, and then go to Software and Drivers...
    Enter your Operating System in the Drop-down menu...  Click NEXT and Scroll down
    Look for category Driver - Product Installation Software
    Select the appropriate Basic Driver, e-print, or Full Feature Software, as appropriate
    NOTE:  You may also wish to download the Print and Scan Doctor and / or other Tools from Category - Utilities
    Save the *.exe installation package(s) on your computer
    Pay attention to the name and the location of the file(s) when you save the file(s).  The file(s) will likely save to the "Downloads “folder.
    You may remove your existing printer software with the following tool.  Fixit is of particular use when the existing printer software is being replaced due to severe problems with the printing program.
    Fixit -- Fix problems with programs that can't be installed or uninstalled
    NOTE:  If you have a recent working version of the Full Feature Software on your computer, you may opt to skip removing the existing printer software in the above separate step.  During installation of your Full Feature Software, when the installer package detects the “old” printer software on your computer, the program will ask you to remove that old software:  The program will then invoke an internal printer software removal program that is written to remove printer software.  Once most of the old printer software is removed, you will be asked to Reboot your computer and log back in.  After you log in, the final bits of the old printer program(s) are deleted and the new software will be installed.  Depending on your system, the whole uninstall and install process might take as much as eight to twelve minutes.
    Remember to Install the programs from Category Utilities first, if applicable, as these are smaller in size.
    Install the downloaded Printer Software package last.
    If you have ‘Admin’ control, you may highlight the package and “double-click” to install it, else Right-Click, Select ‘run as Administrator’ and install.
    NOTES: 
    If using: Download and install the driver software before connecting a USB cable.
    After the initial installation is complete, be sure to check for and install any relevant updates  - check Category  - Update.  The Updates are important and can mean the difference between software that works as expected and software that does not work.
    You may also wish to check for a Category named Firmware.  Installation of any package in this Catagory is personal choice and must be based on the contents in the package and whether or not your printer is working as expected.

  • Can the jetpack be used with a wireless printer?

    I bought a jetpack and connected it with my laptop, works fine. How do I use my wireless printer? I have a router currently connected to my internet provider but will drop that provider in a couple of days. I would like to continue using my router as my "home" printing device.

  • Can i print from my ipad with an wireless printer and an apple app or do i have to have an airprinter?

    Can I print from my ipad with an wireless printer and an apple app or do I have to have an air printer?

    It depends on the printer and if it is shared on your home network.
    I have a wireless HP printer, but it is not an E Printer and cannot print directly from my mobile device.  I purchased an Epson all in one E Printer so that I could print from my tablet.  THe printer cost me less than $90 at Walmart.
    (Epson 600 series all in one)

  • Airport does not communicate with my wireless printer

    Hello all,
    I can really use some help here.  We have a Canon wireless printer and an Airport Extreme.  The printer was working wirelessly until recently and I called Canon for tech support.  I was on the phone with Canon for an hour.  We have trouble-shot the printer every which way.  They are now telling me that the airport is not communicating with my wireless printer.  Is there someone that can help me check this?

    Earlier G5s had an external T antenna I believe, besides the antenna wire inside...

  • How to connect a printer to a wireless connection using airport/time capsule

    How do you connect a Cannon MP620 printer to the wireless network with my time capsule/airport?  It was set up before but I've had to redo all the settings with a new Time Capsule and now the printer isn't working.  Can't remember how I set it up before.  Didn't seem that hard back then.
    Thanks!

    So you plugedd the printer into the time capsule usb right?
    You need to re-add the printer in the system preferences one more time because the location has moved.

    How do I add a wireless printer to my ipad

    If your printer is not an AirPrint compatible printer, there are third party printer apps in the App Store that you can purchase and install.
    iPad printing apps.

    You can also use your computer as the print server for your printer.

    You printer manufacturer may also have their own printing app.
    Do a little research. We all did some research. That's how we came up with all of this information.

  • How do I install a wireless printer

    How do I install a wireless printer on my I pad 2?

    Your printer needs to have a technology called AirPrint built in on it.
    If it has wifi built in, it has a chance of working, as no non-wifi printers have AirPrint built in.
    If it does, your printer can work with the iPad.
    If it doesn't, you can purchase software for your Mac or PC that uses your computer as a little passthrough to connect and print from your printer.

  • How do I get my iPad to print to my wireless printer?

    How do I get my iPad to print to my wireless printer?

    If your printer (which you did not identify in your post) is an AirPrint printer, it should work out of the box as long as everything is set up correctly and working properly.
    AirPrint printers are listed here.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    If you don't have an AirPrint printer, you need a third party app. There are several in the App Store that you can check out.
    You can also use your computer as a print server in order to print from the iPad with Printopia for Mac, or Print Magic for Windows.

    A good place to start is with an AirPrint enabled printer.  The list is in the link below.  If you have a non AirPrint printer, you wilL need a third party app like printopia or print and share to run the print job thru your computer.
