How to switch b/t wireless & direct connection

My Ibook is happily printing wirelessly to a Canon Pixma ip3000 but I can not access the printer utility. I was going to try connecting directly into my Ibook's USB but I'm not sure how to make the switch. Just plugging it in doesn't work. Is there some setting I have to change if it was previously using Airport? I just want the direct connection occasionally and I do want to mess up my Airport connection so I can go back when I'm done.

Add the printer twice in the Printer Setup Utility, once as the Airport printer and once as a USB printer.
Then the utility should work when you are plugged in via USB.

  • How to switch off the Wireless Transmitting of the xDock for the iPod?

    Hey,
    Can anybody help me how to switch off the wireless streaming of the xDock transmitter for the iPod? I tried to do it by resetting and I already read the FAQ but nothing seemed to work...
    Thanks for your help. ;-)
    Hi,
    Kann mir irgendjemand sagen, wie ich bei meinem xDock Transmitter f?r den iPod das wireless streaming ausschalten kann? Ich habe bereits versucht das Ger?t zu resetten und habe das FAQ gelesen aber nichts hat geholfen...
    Vielen Dank im Vorraus f?r eure Hilfe ;-)

    turn it into standby mode
    unplug the power supply from the x-fi dock
    press the volume controller and hold it while plugging the power supply
    the link control led on the backside will glow shortly and and turn off
    thats it
    to reactivate it press both the forward and backward wind button for at least 3 seconds
    But I think, this is really a shame, that the WLAN network is unusable when using the x-Fi wireless function.

  • How to hide to stop receiving Direct Connect logs in the Message Folder

    I have an 8350i that I use with a BES.  I just recenlty had the unit swapped out under warranty, but now I can not figure out how to keep the Direct Connect calls from filling up my message folder.  With my older unit it did not logs the DC calls.
    I have already set the Call Logging to NONE and I have set both the Hide Filed messages and Sent message to YES
    Thanks in advance,

    My phone has been doing the same thing since day one. I thought there was a way to correct the symptom but instead i chose to deal with it. I wonder if an update took away this option? I scoured the owners manual and bb online with no such luck. I contaced my carrier, no luck there either, I hope someone answers this thread soon.

    Hello dasprashant,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you're unable to connect your Deskjet 3546 to your Smart Phone and your Mac computer without a router. I will do my best to assist you! What is your operating system on this computer? Mac.
    I would recommend following this HP document on Printing with HP Wireless Direct to setup your Galaxy phone. As an added feature, your printer does come with Wireless Direct, which allows you to print directly to your HP printer without a network. To setup your Mac computer, please follow this HP document on How to use the HP Wireless Direct Connection.
    Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great night!

  • How do you promote a static route over a directly connected?

    Hi all,
    I have a need for a static route to be used instead of a directly connected route. (Long story - involving firewalls and anti-spoofing.. but can go further if required)
    I am using a Cisco 3750 switch. I notice directly connected routes have a metric of 0, and the highest metric I can give a static route is 1.
    Therefore, how is it possible for me to make the switch use the static route and not the directly connected?
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Cheers,
    Ben

    Hi Rick,
    Thanks for your patience.
    Maybe I should start again.
    Initially we had 16 VLANs within the 10.0/16 address space. We have some Cisco 3750's connected by dark fibre accross a couple of kms and then lower access switches all hanging of these by some means. The network is flat.
    We have a checkpoint firewall hanging off one of the 3750s connected using a TRUNK port. The firewall has an IP address on all VLANs and is used to route traffic between VLANs based on its ruleset.
    So if I have a user in VLAN 10 who wants to talk to VLAN 20, they travel to the firewall, if a rule permits the access, the firewall routes the packet on to VLAN 2 and the switches deliver at Layer 2.
    The switches all have their default VLAN 1 disabled, and have an IP address on our management VLAN to allow us to manage the switches.
    Its quite important that this IP is on a secured management VLAN as we don't want just anyone being able to snoop switch logins etc..
    If we need to login to a switch, the firewall routes our traffic from whatever VLAN we are on to the Management VLAN.
    One of our VLANs (the Desktop VLAN) is quite large (approx 1300 hosts) and suffers a great deal from too much arp broadcast traffic.
    As we have a flat switched network across several kms, the cost of putting in routers to subnet this large VLAN is excessive.
    However, the 3750's we have are perfectly capable of routing between VLANs, so we decide to create a load of new VLANs instead of subnetting our large VLAN. We don't want to use the firewall to route between these new VLANs as thats just giving the firewall more to do, and previously all these hosts were on a single subnet, so we have no need for any strict security - at most we can use ACLs on the switches if we even need that!
    So far so good.
    With 1300 hosts, we obviously can't make sudden topology changes. Therefore we need to be able to route between the Desktop VLAN and the new VLANs.
    We therefore introduce the static routes between the firewall and the switches.
    So the firewall says:
    route 10.1.0.0/16 via Multilayer switch IP on 10.1.0.0/16
    The multilayer switch says:
    route 10.0.0.0/16 via Firewall IP on 10.1.0.0/16
    This allows routing perfectly between the Desktop VLAN and the new VLANs.
    However the moment we enable ip routing on the switches we break access between the desktop VLAN and the Management VLAN.
    A packet leaves the desktop VLAN through the default gateway on the firewall. This is then routed to the Management VLAN. The return packet doesn't use the Management VLAN default gateway (firewall), it follows the static route on the switch and ends up at the firewall on 10.1.0.0/16. This is subsequently dropped as the firewall knows the packet hasn't come from the 10.1.0.0/16 network, it originally came from the desktop VLAN on 10.0.0.0/16.
    It might seem we can define a route on the switch to say:
    route 10.0.50.0/24 (management VLAN) via 10.0.50.254 (firewall). However, this would result in all packets from 10.1.0.0/16 being dropped by the firewall.
    The other problem is that if we are on a new VLAN and want to talk to the management VLAN. The packet goes to its default gateway on the switch. The switch says - "I have an IP on the management VLAN, its directly connected" - therefore it ignores the static route, and passes the packet on its way. We have now bypassed the firewall, which is bad.
    Incidentally the return packets get routed through the firewall and dropped, as the original packet didn't come through the firewall, there is no entry in the state table for its return.
    I think if we turned off the management interface on the switch and managed it through the interface on 10.1.0.0/16, I assume everything would work. However, we don't want to do this for a whole load of other reasons I wont go into.
    Im sure there must be a fairly simple solution - I just don't have enough experience!
    Cheers,
    Ben

  • Setting up a Wireless Internet Connection on Solaris 10

    I am new to the whole Solaris/unix world and I was just wondering how to set up a wireless internet connection with a solaris 10 machine. I have a linksys router hooked up to a cable modem and a linksys receiver hooked up via USB on the solaris machine. I would greatly appreciate any help anyone can give me.

    Was the router supplied by the ISP or was it bought separately? Are you able to get online when connecting the Mac directly to the router via an ethernet cable? Either way it's best to check the router settings to ensure they are correct.
    I’ve not come across the Zoom routers. Setup should be straight forward though, having gone to their website and downloaded the manual. Do the following:
    1. Plug one end of the RJ-11 cable (included in the box) to the router, the other end to your phone line via the micro-filter.
    2. Plug one end of the ethernet cable (again included in the box) to the appropriate port in the router, the other end to your Mac.
    3. Plug in the power cord and switch on
    4. Fire up your web browser on your Mac (Safari, Camino, Firefox etc)
    5. In the address bar of the web browser type 10.0.0.2 and hit the Return button
    6. A Network Password box will appear. This is to gain access to the router itself. The defaults are, Username = admin, Password = zoomadsl
    7. You’ll now enter the Basic Setup screen. It’s here where you enter the username and password supplied by your ISP. This is NOT your email username/password but your Internet access ones. If you are not sure or don't have them, call your ISP.
    8. Click Save Changes and then click Write Settings to Flash and Reboot. Once the router has reset itself and the Link light comes on and remains steady, you’re online.
    That’s it. Job done
    If you still cannot get access it may be worth resetting the router (there should be a small button in the back which requires the use of a pen or pencil to press) re-entering your ISP information as described above and trying again.
    Let me know how you get on.

  • Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition; Wireless Direct Printing Issues

    Good day everyone. The subject refers. I have been trying to connect my tablet to my hp printer (LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276nw) using wireless direct printing without success. What normally happens is when I try to detect the printer through wifi on the tablet, the error message I get from the tablet is "Network disabled because internet connection is slow". What can I do???

    Hello OgoOluwa,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    Regarding the troubles getting the Wireless Direct connection working with a Samsung Galaxy Note, does this error display only on the Wireless Direct network?
    I have not been able to reproduce the error, but I have found something that addresses the error on another support site that might be worth a try.
    Getting "Network disabled because internet connection is slow" during setup<--- Not a HP support site, nor is it related to a printer, but the error is the same and follows suite with a connection issue with a Samsung product.
    Let me know if this suggestion is helpful.

  • How to Change Wi-Fi Channel Used by Wireless Direct on HP Officejet Pro 8600 Premium?

    I would like to change the Wi-Fi channel that is used by Wireless Direct between my Lenovo laptop and my HP Officejet Pro 8600 Premium to reduce interference from other nearby users of Ch. 6 in my condo complex. (I am not using a wireless router setup to connect to the printer.)
    Is this possible?  If so, how?

    Ah... ok.  You are using the Wireless Direct with the printer.  You computer is wireless to channel 6.  That is all you can do unless you changed the router's wireless channel which will only automatically switch on your computer.

  • How do I disconnect from Wireless to use wired connection?

    Hi - I'm new to this and I apologize if this question is ridiculously easy.
    I am using a cable modem in which I have plugged my WRT160Nv2 wireless router. I am supporting three computers here in my home; my laptop (both wired and wireless), my daughters laptop (wireless only), and my desktop (wired only).
    Everything works great and I have to give all the credit to CISCO and the excellent software which automatically solves every connection problem that comes up.
    My laptop and desktop are connected to the wireless router via cable.
    My question is strictly about my laptop. When I leave my office in the house and go into another room, I establish the wireless connection. Now I am back in my home office room, I want to use my wired connection. How do I do this? Do I need to disable my wireless connection so that my wired connection takes over? Again, I do have my laptop connected to the wireless router via cat5.
    I want to do this strictly for the speed of the connection. I've read that a wired connection is double if not more in Mbps.
    This laptop is running Win XP Pro, SP3.
    I hope this furnishes enough info to assist in an answer.
    Thanks in advance.

    P.S.. I really do want to educate myself regarding the equipment I am using and not have to ask such basic questions. Are there any books or websites you can recommend that can start me out and go as technical as I choose to?

    Windows by default uses the fastest connection possible. If you have a wireless and wired connection active at the same time it depends on how fast both connections are rated. Wireless connections tend to change depending on the distance. Wireless 802.11g goes up to 54 Mbit/s. Wireless 802.11n can go up to some 300 Mbit/s. Wired connections are usually either gigabit ethernet (1000 Mbit/s) or fastethernet (100 Mbit/s).
    Thus, which is picked depends on your computer. You should check the connection status of both connections in the network connections control panel. It shows you the current wireless and wired speed (the latter won't change of course). Very often, the wired connection is preferred to the wireless connection. Now with 802.11n connections the wireless connection is preferred if your wired connection is only fastethernet.
    As your WRT160Nv2 has only FastEthernet LAN ports you have to check how fast the wireless connection is. If you have a 802.11n wireless adapter in your laptop it may show up the wireless connection faster then 100 Mbit/s. Depending on the setting it may change occassionally between 54 Mbit/s and speeds higher then 100 Mbit/s which would lead Windows to swap connections. If you see that problem it is better to switch off the wireless in the laptop while you have a wired connection...
    A wired connection is more reliable and stable then a wireless connection. With wireless you can have interference. Thus, even though a wired connection may be slower then a wireless one you may prefer to use the wired connection anyway. And some people prefer to turn off the wireless to avoid radiation.
    To sum up: usually you don't have to switch off the wireless, unless you experience problems because of the mentioned changing speeds of the wireless connection. The computer will always only use one connection. Not both.

  • Wireless modem not connecting but direct connect is

    I have a WRT54G modem and it works with a direct connection but not with the wireless.  We had a few power failures yesterday which is all I can think of that caused the problem. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

    If you are able to go online wired from the router then,try to adjust the wireless settings on the router...
    Open the router setup page and Under the Wireless tab,Change the SSID to some unique name,Change the Wireless Channel to 11-2.462GHz and click on save settings.Under the subtab Wireless Security check the security key.
    Under the Advanced Wireless Settings...Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 and Click on Save Settings...
    Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

  • TS1398 how do i configure so i phone connects with home wireless automatically? currently, it connects to prior owners wireless since disconnected.

    how do i configure wifi so my Iphone connects w home wireless automatically?

    Hi Tesserax
    You could, but its benefits may depend on how you have it configured with the D-Link router. That is, do you have the TC directly connected to the D-Link by Ethernet or is it just wirelessly joining the D-Links' wireless network?
    I have the TC connected via Ethernet cable.
    I am assuming that you have the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) configured as a wireless client so that it can join the D-Link's wireless network for iTunes streaming ... correct? If so, then it would be performing like any other wireless client (desktop, laptop, printer, etc.) and will not interfere with the D-Link's wireless network.
    I rechecked the AE and you are correct that the AE is set to join a wireless network.
    With having so many devices running on the wireless network, would it make sense to have a few device on each wireless system?(D-Link, TC, and AE)
    I know it sounds like overkill, but there is the possibility that all the devices could be running at once. I'm not sure if that would cause any conflicts.
    Is there any advantage to turning on the wireless on TC just for the iPhones for example or is it better to keep things as they are?(It works but is it efficient?)
    Please be aware I'm not fully knowledgeable with wireless routers and their capabilities.

  • Connect imac wirelessly, or use direct connection?

    I have a new imac G5 with airport extreme card, and will soon have an extreme base station (havent set it up yet). Can I count on the wireless connection to be as fast as my roadrunner cable direct connection? Or should I connect the imac directly?
    ino, how much slower will the wireless be than the direct ethernet hookup?
    thanks,
    imac G5 20"   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    Your AirPort Extreme connection will provide sufficient bandwidth to take full advantage of your high speed internet connection. If you were to do file transfers inside you network (to another computer on the LAN), the ethernet connection will provide much higher transfer speeds to other ethernet connected computers.

  • How do I use my wireless Led TV as a second monitor using my home network without any cables? Both of them are connected to home network

    How do I use my wireless Led TV as a second monitor to my mac book pro using my home network without any cables? Both of them are connected to home network

    Having a gateway there is not going to be a problem. We just need to configure the Time Capsule correctly to work with the 2Wire.
    You will need one ethernet cable to connect the 2Wire to the Time Capsule and a second ethernet cable to temporarily connect your computer to the Time Capsule so that it can be configured.
    The 2Wire you have now should already be broadcasting a wireless network, so once you have the Time Capsule setup, you will actually have two wireless networks there.
    Here's how to configure the Time Capsule to work with the 2Wire:
    Connect an ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the 2Wire to the WAN (circle icon) port on the Time Capsule.
    Connect another ethernet cable temporarily from your computer to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule
    Open Hard Drive > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click Manual Setup
    Click the Base Station tab below the row of icons to assign a name for the Time Capsule, a device password (write this down) and adjust time zone settings
    Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
    Wireless Mode....Create a wireless network
    Wireless Network Name....Your choice
    Radio Mode....Automatic
    Channel...Automatic
    Wireless Security...WPA/WPA2 Personal
    Wireless Password....Your choice (write this down)
    Check mark next to....Remember password in keychain
    Click the Internet icon
    At the bottom, change the setting for Connection Sharing to "Off (Bridge Mode)"
    Click Update at the lower right and the Time Capsule will restart after 20-25 seconds and you should get the green light.
    You should now be able to connect to your Time Capsule wireless network.
    I'm not clear on whether you have tried to setup the Time Capsule to backup your computer. Post back if you need some info on that. We may need to start another thread for that as that will be a different subject.
