HP Laserjet 1160 over Airport Express

I recently got an HP LaserJet 1160le and wanted to hook it up to my network using an Airport Express. I have used other printers with the airport express in its current config with no problems, but now I have an issue.
If i plug the printer directly into my powerbook via USB, the driver is automatically detected and everything is spiffy. When I add the printer through Bonjour, it doesn't detect the driver. The 1160 and 1320 are nearly identical and the drivers are almost the same, so I choose the 1320 driver.
When I print i get a single page with a few lines that state:
%!PS-Adobe-3.0 %RBINumCopies: 1
There are a few more lines but nothing that really seems to point to the problem. When I try and add the same printer to an XP Pro machine the 1320 drivers don't work, but the 1100 drivers work which would be a better match to begin with. The 1100 drivers and the HP Laserjet 1.3 driver are not available as a choice when setting up on the Mac. Anyone have any ideas or solutions?

It may work with a third-party driver such as the HPIJS drivers or the Gimp-Print drivers, but this is not the case with all printers.

    Just as a quick sidenote, I failed to mention that I was able to get it to work on my XP Pro machine selecting 1100 series as my driver. It seems this is only related to my two macs.

  • Error message when I try to stream iTunes over Airport Express

    When I try to stream iTunes over Airport Express, I get an error message: An unknown error (-15006) occurring while connecting to the remote speaker. This just started happening since I upgraded to iTunes 9. Is there a fix?

  • Audiostreaming over Airport Express via Ethernet

    So far, streaming audio over Airport Express in my large house has been a bit unstable - the audio stream often gets interrupted.
    Now I have been thinking of using a wired Ethernet network instead of wireless transmission.
    My question: The Airport Express has an Ethernet port. Is it possible to access the Airport Express wired to an Ethernet network and use it to listen to streamed audio?
    Question two: And still use its wireless functionality to access the Internet?
    What about the Airport Extreme in this regard?

    Yes.
    Question two: And still use its wireless functionality to access the Internet?
    Yes, you can configure the AirPort Express for a roaming network.
    What about the Airport Extreme in this regard?
    Yes, you can use an AirPort Extreme in a roaming network configuration; no, you cannot use it for streaming.

  • Need Big Help on my HP Laserjet P1005 via airport express

    I've been using my HP Laserjet P1005 via airport express for about 3 months.
    However, this printer won't act wirelessly anymore.
    It does work fine with USB connected.
    I tried to reset everything, and it's still not working.
    I've read some posts on this forum and installed those three packages, but it seems not works for me.
    By the way, the P1005 driver version is 1.0.6.
    I really hope someone can help me out here. Thanks in advance.

    Yes. I have install the lastest version of HP driver 1.0.6, with Mac OS 10.5.

    But if you update to Show Leopard 10.6, You should use a prior driver HP 1.0.4, if not, the printer would not work. Here:

  • HP laserjet P2035 on airport express not playing nice with Windows

    I recently bought a new HP laserjet P2035 and hooked it up to my network via the usb connector on an airport express 802.11n. The Airport Express extends my network created on an Airport extreme 802.11n dualband.
    I have a MBP 13 and it prints fine. The problem I have is with two PC's. I installed Bonjour on both of them (one on Vista and another one on XP) and they started to print fine. The next day, only my Mac was able to print. Nothing changed whatsoever. Only that I turned off the printer for the night.
    I checked and both Windows machines and the printers appear just like they did the day before.
    Any ideas?

    Anybody?

  • Trouble printing to Canon ip4200 over Airport Express from Windows XP

    I've just spent the last 4 hours trying to get my Dell laptop running XP to print to my Canon ip4200 USB printer connected to my Airport Express. My PowerBook (10.3.4) connected without issue and has been working fine. The XP laptop just refused to print, and the "troubleshooter" was useless. It would print fine over a direct USB connection, but, despite following the directions for connecting an Airport Printer in XP to the letter, it failed to print every time.
    I was tearing my hair out in frustration when I eventually discovered this post at macosxhints: "RAW port has changed!" (scroll down thew page a bit):
    http://www.macosxhints.com/comment.php?mode=display&sid=2003072510530643&title=R AW%20port%20has%20changed%21&type=article&order=&pid=0
    The default Raw configuration for "Standard TCP/IP Port" was set to 9100. I manaully changed it to 9101 and all works great now.
    I don't know where the default of 9100 came from, but this has cost me an entire morning of frustration. GRRRRR!

  • J3680 Scan over airport express??

    I just bought an officejet j3680 and I want to be able to scan over the network. I have print capabilities but no scan. When I do the software install while the printer is hooked to my airport express the installer says that it needs 0kb of space to install. It then proceeds to go straight to the success screen. If I hook up the printer via USB directly to my iMac then the software will install all sorts of **bleep**.
    Why won't/can't it install over the network. "It isn't supported" is a sucky answer all by itself. If you say "it's not supported because...." then that helps me to understand what is actually going on so that I don't make similar assumptions in the future. If it's just this particular all-in-one that isn't supported then fine, but is there one that this feature is supported on? Thanks in advance for the help.
    Nathan 

    It isn't supported because the printer does not come with a Network Interface Card(NIC) preinstalled, or it doesnt have the option of inserting one in it(actually, none of our printers do). the NIC enables it to connect and interact to a network. but since it does not have one, you cannot use it over a network.
    if you want an Officejet that jas network capabilities, both wired and wireless, then go for the Officejet J6480.

  • Printing from imac over airport express connected to an ethernet network

    Hi, My home ethernet network shares an ethernet connected printer, and web connection via a switch and worked fine. What doesn't now work is my rearrangement that now includes an emac, and imac connected to this wired net via an airport express, they connect to the web just fine, but the printer isn't detected. I can hookup either mac to the switch directly using cat5 cable and detect the printer but not over the airport express that is wired to the switch. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated as I am trying to avoid more holes drilled in the floor so near where the plastic waterlines run to the second bathroom.
    Thank you,

    Hello again,
    I'm guessing that the problem is maybe that both the switch and the express are duplicating some of the same things, and that the airport express should maybe be setup as strictly a bridge. Would one be able to set it up as a bridge and be able to handle 2 macs, or would it just handle one correctly at a time?
    Thanks

  • Using Kodak AiO 5500 over Airport Express- works on my Mac, but not on PC

    The subject says it all, folks. Just got a new Airport Express 802.11n and hooked up both printers (Samsung ML-1740 and Kodak AiO 5500) with a powered USB hub. Both printers are visible in Airport Utility (and Bonjour Printer Services in Windows).
    I'm running OS 10.6.3 on a MacBook Pro, 15" 2.4GHz Core2Duo system. On this system I can use both the Kodak and Samsung, no problem. But then on both of my parents' PCs only the Samsung printer works, although I can see both using Airport Utility and Bonjour Printer Service.
    What the heck is going on??
    Thanks in advance!

    I would perform the following steps for testing:
    1. Disconnect the Samsung printer, so that just the Kodak printer is connected.
    2. Disable the firewall at the Windows machine (the Windows one and all third party)
    If that's successfull, you can
    3. Re-enable the firewall and you probably need to allow traffic on port 9100 (not 100% sure about the exact port)
    4. Re-connect the Samsung printer

  • HP Color LaserJet 2600n and Airport Express Issues

    To me it seems like more of an issue with the Airport Express and Snow Leopard. Am I totally off base on this. I tried the work around post in another thread on here and it just fails to connect to the printer properly. Either way, I wonder how long it will take to get this fixed.

  • Filesharing with Windows over Airport Express

    Hi, I have a windows xp network that is set up as follows
    cable modem -> Linksys BEFSR41 rougter -> Airport
    the linksys goes off to a few computers and the airport express, now the networks is working beautifuly for internet access, but i am stuck when trying to get my notebook computer (which connects to the airport and accesses the net fine) to connect to one of the computers (connected through the Linksys) and do some windows file sharing
    Has anyone had any experiance with trying to set something like this up before? any help would be very greatfuly recieved.
    Right now I am thinking that the problem is having to do with something about how the linksys's ip range is in the 192.168.x.x while the airport is 10.1.0.x and how windows isnt agreeing with that kinda configuration to share, or something along those lines, Im totally lost
    thanks for any help

    You just need to set up the AX as a bridge...
    To set up the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) as a bridge, using the AirPort Admin Utility, connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, make these settings:
    Network tab
    - Distribute IP addresses (unchecked)
    - Apply the new setting.

  • My fairly new os 10.7.2 iMac won't wake up after I've been using iTunes over airport express. I have to manually shut down and restart

    When I use my airport express to listen to iTunes in the garage, the computer won't wake up by pressing a key, I have to reach behind the computer and hold down the power button and restart to get a screen.  This only happens in the garage which has a newer express than the rest of the rooms. Version 7 vs 6 as I recall.  I've check ed updates, but it shows updates are all complete.
    Any suggestions would be great.
    thanks,

  • Lost Airplay over Airport Express

    We have a time capsule and 2 airport expresses which we use to play music wirelessly. Everything has worked fine for quite some time but music streaming suddenly stopped a few days ago on both devices. The light on the airport express is green, sometimes solid, sometimes blinking quickly.
    The current airport utility sees the devices but gives the message "This version of AirPort Utility doesn't support this base station. Use AirPort Utility 5.6 to configure or manage this base station." Unfortunately, I can't run airport utility 5.6 on Lion.
    Any suggestions? Thanks.
