HP AIO 1315 Printer w/ Airport Express

Before I buy the Airport Express, is there ANYONE who has gotten this HP all in one to print wirelessly from a Macbook or ibook. If so, can you tell me how, & what drivers? Cups?
Thanx, my Mac bros.!

Hi Guys
I just stumbled across this post cause I've been troubleshooting problems with printing using a new AirPort Express and USB with my HP PSC 1350. I get the same error (9672) using the printer utility. After updating my HP software and print drivers to the latest versions and still no luck, I've been working with HP support on this, and they responded by saying that my 1350 is not designed to use USB printing on a network and that they recommend that I buy a new printer only one with Ethernet capability built in. They won't guarantee wireless USB printing on any of their products with Apple AirPort, even the ones that they advertise work.
I'm real frustrated by Apple's advertisements that if customers want to print wirelessly, just hook up a USB printer to your AirPort network and your all set. The fine print says to use a "compatible" printer, but what does that mean. So I bought an AirPort Express for the sole purpose of printing and I can't use it. I even went to the local Apple Store, and the clerks there told me that wireless printing using USB for the most part doesn't work and is not recommended.

I have an Ipad and Iphone but I don't have an Airprint, only a WIFI printer,my question is if I connect the wifi printer to Airport express, can I print from Ipad and Iphone ?

I have an Ipad and Iphone but I don't have an Airprint at home but only a WIFI printer, my question is if I connect the wifi printer to Airport express, can I print from Ipad and Iphone ? Please help me if anyone knows about this.

Unfortunately, connecting a non-AirPrint-enabled printer to an AirPort base station's USB port will not make it AirPrint-ready.
You will need to use another solution, like Printopia, to be able to print to this printer from an iOS device.

Most printers are supported by the AirPort Express. There is no definitive list.

Epson Aculaser CX11NF printing via Airport Express

Well today has been an interesting day...
Connected printer to airport express usb port - had problems printing via this in the past but since I'd moved the printer so I could plug it into the usb port on a computer and then share it that way I thought I'd give it another go.
Macbook 10.5.2 prints perfectly first time
Powerbook 10.4.11 can see it and connect but won't print
Toshiba XP laptop) can't see it
Check out the net, try out the info I find and hey presto! Toshiba XP laptop sees and prints perfectly
Share printer via Markbook and Markintosh and Powerbook prints fine but still won't print directly via airport express.
Feels wrong that an xp book can print via an apple airport express easier than an apple laptop...
Anyone have any thoughts?

Hi,
Thanks for all your replies. I tried repairs pewrmissions in disk utility again and got slightly excited when printer utility automatically selected a generic post script driver but my printer just printed jibberish.
I've just run repair permission in pinter setup repair and this is my log:
The file /System/Library/StartupItems/PrintingServices/PrintingServices is missing!
The file /private/etc/cups/classes.conf is missing. This file is deleted when using the Reset Printing System option.

Does it mean anything to anyone?

Printing to airport express from multiple imacs

I have two Intel based iMacs that share a Canon ip4300 printer via Airport Express (connected to the USB port on the airport Express). One of the iMacs prints perfectly and very fast. The second (and closer unit to the AE) prints extremely slow and can take an hour to print one photo. I disconnected the AE and plugged the USB directly into the second iMac and it too prints perfectly and very fast. So it seems to be something to do with the WiFi connection between the second iMac and the AE that is causing the problem. I have downloaded new firmware for the AE and drivers for the printer. I have reconfigured that AE from scratch. What should I do?

When you say that you installed the "drivers" for your Dell laptop, does this mean that you also installed Bonjour for Windows, which is on the CD that came with the AirPort Express?
If you haven't installed Bonjour for Windows on the Dell, you can download it here:

Wired computers unable to see printer on Airport Express...help?

Hi all,
I recently set up an Airport Extreme on our office network to offer wireless network access piggybacked on our wired router. I then purchased an Airport Express which I was planning on using as a wireless print server for our Canon i9900 for all office computers connecting wired or wirelessly, which would interface with the network via the Airport Extreme Base Station.
I have configured the Express as an extension of the existing Airport network, and attached the printer to it via USB. All the computers in the office which have airport cards onboard can see and print from the printer, which is great. The problem is that all of the computers connecting to the network via wires are unable to see the printer (this is under both 10.3.x and 10.4.x, all airport software completely updated.) The Extreme base station shows up for all office computers in their Airport Admin Utility, AND if the printer is connected directly to the Extreme Base Station via USB, all computers can see the printer over Bonjour/Rendevous.
Anybody have ideas as to how I can get my wired machines to see the printer on the Airport Express?
Thanks!!

Printing via Airport Express: Missing Final Form Feed

Maybe a guru could help with this one...
Spooling a print job from an iMac G5 to an HP Photosmart 7150 that is connected to the Airport Express USB port...
The job prints fine but I don't get a FINAL FORMFEED after the last page has printed. I have to manually eject...
The iMac has the latest OS Update (10.4.2) and all the drivers for system software (including Airport 4.2 for Mac OS X 10.4.2). The printer driver is from HP's support site - version 2.5.6 (August 2005) for Mac OX X v10.2, 10.3 & 10.4.
Note: the printer works fine (final form feed & all) when you have it attached directly to the iMac.

Hi Ian and welcome to the Discussions.
According to HP the PhotoSmart 7150 is not compatible with the Airport base station, which implies that it will not work across a network when connected to an Airport Express as it would when directly connected.
It may work as you want with a third-party driver such as the HPIJS drivers and the process outlined here: http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/1300.html

No colors when printing through AirPort Express?

I knew I couldn't use all the features (e.g. scanning) of my HP all-in-one printer F2180 through AirPort Express instead of USB. But is it normal I can't print in colors? Can it be fixed?

I am having the same problem. I am running an AirPort Extreme to a HP Deskjet F4180.
I spent two weeks on the phone and email with HP and they finally told me that it was a problem with Apple.
I just got off the phone with Apple support and they told me it is a driver issue which they have no control over. They told me to see if somebody in this forum had a work around or to search the web for a generic driver that "may" fix the problem.
If I find an answer I will let you know.
Good luck!!

Wireless printing through Airport Express stops after a few pages

I have a Canon MP780, which I tried hooking up to my Airport Express USB. Installation seemed to work smoothly with the Airport Utility, and it printed a test page just fine. However, when I printed a longer document, something kacked after a few pages (a communications error).
Hooking it up is a hassle (have to go through a wall to get to the AE/DSL modem setup), and I ripped it apart after upgrading the canon drivers to no avail. I'll try it again to get the exact error messages if there's more than a snowballs chance in hades that this might work, but thought I'd at least find out if it's hopeless or not before throwing more time at this.
Any help's appreciated... many thanks.

There has been similar posts on this forum regarding wireless stability. A few have indicated that there printing was fine until the recent Airport Client Update 2009-002. If you check your System Prefs > Software Update > Installed Software list, have you also run this update?

Wireless printer and airport express

I have an HP officejet 7410 "all in one" printer that use to connect to my Imac wirelessly just fine but now I have to connect it to the usb cable to get it to print. my family has 4 mac bookpro's also and its hit or miss whether or not they will print so would it be best for me to shut everything off, connect an airport express to my modem and then restart everything? I'm just tired of fooling with it and know there must be a better way? Thanks!

You can connect your printer via USB to the USB port on an AirPort Express or Extreme and share them throughout your network.

Error while trying to install printer on Airport Express

Hi,
I'm trying to install a HP Deskjet 3930 on my Macbook through the Airport Express. I'm getting an error:
An error occured while trying to add the selected printer Error:-9672
Anyone have any ideas?

BINGO!!
After trying every driver possible (and there were many...), I finally got my HP Deskjet 3930 to print through Bonjour. Here's how:
1. Reset the printing system with Printer Setup Repair from fixamacsoftware.com
2. Add a new printer with Printer Setup Utility
3. Select the HP 3930 connected through Bonjour
4. Instead of using the default HP driver, select the HP PSC 1110 Foomatic/hpijs driver (available at http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/hpijs/)
I've tested the printer on a variety of print jobs and so far everything seems to be working smoothly. I should probably note that this driver does not grant access to the printer utilities, but at least it works.
Hopefully someone finds this useful.

Print thru Airport Express under Fusion/Windows XP

I have a MacBook Pro (10.5.2), Airport Extreme Base Station, and a new Airport Express with an attached HP color laserjet. No problem printing wirelessly from OS-X. However, also running Fusion with WinXP and have been printing from there for months before getting the Airport Express. But now that the printer is connected Airport Express, can't print from Windows even after downloading Bonjour for Windows and loading Airport Utility app under Windows. Fusion/Windows doesn't see the Airport Express, and consequently the printer. Does anyone know if there is a setting I'm missing in Fusion or somewhere else.
Thanks in advance,
Jack

Just got it working: returned everything to factory settings, reinstalled everything and hoped for the best...

Can no longer print from Airport Express

I have an Airport Express base station model A1084 that had been working fine. I have a printer attached to it that did work, but now whenever it is used it shows offline. The Airport is connected to a DLink DGL-4100 router which is connected to a cable modem. Wireless access to the internet works fine. I also have an iMac connected to this network. The Airport utility on the iMac can only see the Airport when I turn on the wifi on the iMac. If I turn off the wireless on the iMac, it cannot find the Airport. I have discovered that the iMac can print to the printer when the wifi is on but not when it is turned off. Performance is very slow. The other devices can see the printer but not print to it. I suspect that an update to something is the source of the problems. All of the software and firmware is up to date.
Any help is appreciated.
John

The Airport is connected to a DLink DGL-4100 router which is connected to a cable modem.
With the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) connected directly to the upstream D-Link router by Ethernet, I assume that you have the AX reconfigured as a bridge, i.e., Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode) ... correct?

USB printer on Airport Express via Bonjour: print queue no longer works

This is a variation of similar postings on this forum, but hopefully provides more information to allow others to pinpoint the problem.
Have been using Intel iMac 10.4.8 now upgraded to 10.4.10. Two printers attached: 1 via USB and a 2nd via USB/Bonjour on Airport Express. Both working flawlessly. 2 days ago, an ADSL Internet outage occurred. When this was reestablished an hour or so later, everything was back to normal, EXCEPT that the USB/Bonjour/Airport printer no longer works. When jobs are sent to it, the printer queue stops and a red "!" appears in the dock on the queue. Restarting the queue just brings back the red "!" again.
Have done all the usual things:
1. Checked cables, restarted iMac, restarted printer, reset Airport.
2. Have confirmed the printer works find if moved to a direct USB port. So the problem is not the printer.
3. Have upgraded the Airport firmware to 6.3. Works just fine as a network access point. So the problem is not the Airport itself.
4. Have deleted, added the printer, renamed the printer - none of these things helped (this was suggested by some postings on the forum)
5. Have tried every combination of which item is powered up first (this was suggested by some postings on this forum)
Have confirmed (by checking CUPS Error Log, as well as by Internet Connection Diagnostics) that the problem is that the iMac can no longer connect to the printer when printing on the local host if it is connected via USB/Bonjour/Airport. However, it can find the printer for adding a printer during setup. So Bonjour is working, but the printing is not.
There are lots of similar postings of people having problems with printers previously working, but then stopping working on an Airport Expresss/Extreme. I hope the above scenario, which is a very simple network topology, and the fact that the iMac and printer and Airport all work correctly on their own, is of help. It does look as if the problem is in the Airport Extreme, and was triggered by the WAN outage, and not fixed by printer reinstallation or firmware upgrade.
Looking forward to someone with a clever suggestion...
LeslieB

What did you use to discover the printers on both Mac and PC. Did you use Bonjour for both?
