HP LaserJet Pro P1606DN compatible w/ Airport Express?

I am going to be purchasing a new Mac Pro and would like to be able to print wirelessly to a laser printer. I like the HP LaserJet Pro P1606DN, but it is not a wireless printer, per se.
I understand after speaking with an Apple representative that a non-wireless printer (assuming it has the right drivers) can be plugged directly into the Airport Express via USB, which will allow a Mac Pro with an Airport card installed to print to it wirelessly.
So, I have two questions:
1) Does the HP printer mentioned above have the proper drivers (or is otherwise compatible) to work with the Airport Express?
2) Will the configuration I mentioned above work, assuming the printer is compatible with Airport Express?
Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions!
This question was solved.

It should work just fine. Your Mac Pro does not have to be wirelessly connected to your network for it to work, a wired connection will also work (unless the Airport Express will not be on your network but rather just stand-alone).

HP Laserjet Pro 100 MFP175a with Airport Express

Can anyone tell me if its possible to use a HP Laserjet Pro 100 MFP175a with an airport Express ? Am looking at connecting the printer directly to the airport express (via the USB socket on the airport express) and using the home wi-fi network to let all my other apple devices use it for printing (iPhone, Ipad & Mac Mini).
Thanks

Hello reddys,
Welcome to the HP Support forums. I see that you would like to learn if you can use your Laserjet Pro 100 MFP175a with an Apple AirPort Express.
I have included the document Share Your Printer on a Network with Apple AirPort for you. It has a section for those running Windows OS and another section for those using Mac OS X. At the end of the document there is also an FAQ section.

HP LaserJet Pro P1606dn ip address change automatic

i have a HP LaserJet Pro P1606dn, there is problem with IP Address, ip address change automatic in this reason i am not able to use the printer, pls solve my problem....

Hi @Naksain,
I see by your post that the printer's IP address changed automatically and you can't use the printer now. I can help you with this.
From the Configuration page, get the printer's IPV4 address, try and access the Embedded Web Server for the printer.
Type the IP address into your web browser's address bar. (Internet Explorer)
Printing a Configuration Page.
If you can still access the printer's Embedded Web Server, then create a new port with the new IPV4 address.
Go to start, devices and printers, right click the printer, go to printer properties, select the ports tab.
Click Add Port, select Standard TCP/IP Port, then select New Port and follow the wizard.
Type in the proper IP address for the printer.
Make sure the printer is online.
Test the printer.
Setup a Static IP address for the printer, this way the printer will keep the assigned port.
Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
Disregard the title. Under Windows, go to Solution four: Assign your printer a static IP address.
Just use the IPV4 address already assigned to the printer.
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

HP LaserJet Pro P1606dn Printer constantly goes offline

We have a HP LaserJet Pro P1606dn Printer. We initally put this on our print server. But almost immediately it goes offline. Current settings:
Jam Recovery: Auto Auto Continue: On IO Timeout: 1800 Auto Off: Disabled
Since it was so problematic - we took it off the printer server and are allowing access via IP (not going through our prit server) and it is behaving the same way.
Has anyone else seen this? Any suggestions?

Hi @Halan ,
I see by your post that you aren't able to print when the laptop isn't in the same area as the printer. I would like to help you out today.
What is the distance of the printer and the Laptop when the printer goes offline?
Try these steps to see if it will resolve the issue.

HP LaserJet Pro P1606dn - Toner Cartridge Reject

HP Laserjet Pro P1606dn does not recognize toner is in machine. What can be done - The light showing need for toner cartridge will not go off-printer willnot print

Hello @debadmin1, and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you are experiencing toner issues. I would like to help.
I would recommend performing a power reset. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
I would then recommend this document on 'Install Black Cartridge' Message Displays on the Control Panel or Blinking Toner Light Displays on ...
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

Trying to Locate Email Address For HP LaserJet Pro P1606DN

I am trying to locate my HP LaserJet Pro P1606dn email address for e-printing. The HP site says to use the two-line screen, but my printer has no screen. Please help.

Hi kacb,
You can locate your ePrint email address in the ePrint Center, or if you haven't created an account yet, you can also locate the email address within the EWS of the printer. To access the EWS, put the printers IP address into a web browser on your PC.

Laserjet Pro P1606dn running on a dell using XP Pro won't hold the default printer setting

Laserjet Pro P1606dn printer
OS is XP Pro
set it as the default printer but that setting keeps changing
How to fix this?
thanks

Yes, you need your own copy of WinXP (I used the one that came with VPC) but I'm afraid I have some good news/bad news to report. The good news is that WinXP does run a bit faster than VPC did on my dual processor G4 - the bad news is that XPs hardware detection DOES NOT - and I could find no way t force it - to recognize any USB or Firewire devices. Because I use Windows primarily to connect to USB GPS devices, this was a real letdown (and would be to users who need to, oh, I don't know, PRINT from Windows).
I'd love to hear from anyone has Windows actually functioning under OpenOSX Wintel - the website only goes as far a getting it to install and running Explorer (which I was able to do). I also had numerous keyboard problems: sometimes Windows would accept no input from the keyboard, sometimes it would reverse the caps lock key (on produced lowercase letters, off all uppercase). It also does not recognize the Apple Mighty Mouse as a two-button mouse. A number of these problems were - somehow - fixed by VPC which I never had a problem with when it came to USB devices (at least it DOES recognize a 'network card' and I can use Internet Explorer - whoopee!).
I'm going to play with this some more before throwing in the towel but I'm not so certain that I'm going to work towards the dual boot solution until I hear that Windows and Windows apps actually function - like being able to print or recognize a USB device.
Just getting Windows to install and run is of little good if it doesn't actually provide simple functionality.
I may copy and paste my original post in the Windows compatibility forum - see if any of those folks have found a working solution,

I would like to stream iTunes to my receiver, a Sony STR-DE945. Is this compatible to Airport Express?

I would like to stream iTunes to my receiver, a Sony STR-DE945, is this compatible with Airport Express? Thank you.

Connect a stereo cable from the 3.5mm audio out jack on the Airport Express to the L-R audio in jacks on the receiver.
Or you can do it via an optical cable from the same 3.5mm optical out to one of the optical inputs on the receiver.

Is Printer HP Laserjet 1018 compatible with Airport Express and windows

I am using HP Laserjet 1018 which is connected directly to the PC.
As it is a USB printer but not a wifi one, can I connect it to Airport Express and will it be recognised ?
Thank you for your answers.

Which Color LaserJets are compatible with Airport Express?

I am having a hard time figuring out which HP Color LaserJet printers are going to work with AE. HP's website does not give me much information and of course Apple's site is the same. What am I really looking for here? Would Apple Bounjour compatibility do it? If so, would I be able to just connect the printer to AE either using USB or an Ethernet and print off of the wireless network?
Let's say would any of the following work?
HP Color LaserJet 2605dn
HP Color LaserJet 3600dn
HP Color LaserJet 3600n
HP Color LaserJet 3800

Let's say would any of the following work?
HP Color LaserJet 2605dn
HP Color LaserJet 3600dn
HP Color LaserJet 3600n
These are all network printers with ethernet connections and are designed to be connected to networks via ethernet.
You could only connect these to an Airport Express by ethernet if the Airport Express was configured as a remote WDS node.
If connecting by USB I would expect them to work (even if they are not on my list) as they are network printers by design.
HP Color LaserJet 3800
This one is less certain, but my experiences with the 2600 makes me think yes it will work.

HP Laserjet printer connected to my Airport Express?

I have bought a HP Laserjet printer and I want to connect it to my Airport express, so I can print wireless. I have my Airport express installed and connected to my router via Ethernet cabel and I the printer is connected to the Airport station by a USB cable. But my Macbook Pro can't find the printer when I search for it? What might the problem be?
Hope someone can help!

The problem may be that the AirPort Express does not support your printer model. Not all printers are supported, and Apple tends to favor popular, lower priced All-in-One devices for USB support.
On your Mac....open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
Open Print & Scan
Click the + (plus) button at the bottom of the printer list
Hopefully, your printer model will appear. If it does, click on the name of the printer to highlight it, then click Add to install the printer at the location of the AirPort Express
Try to print. Be sure to select the correct location of your printer, as it may appear as a printer connected to your MacBook Pro and as a printer connected to the AirPort Express. You must choose the correct location to be able to print.
If your printer model does not appear when you click the + button in the steps above, about all that you can do is contact HP Support to see if they have an updated printer driver that you could download and install....that might allow the print function at the AirPort Express.

Brand New MacBook Pro Cannot Connect to Airport Express

Hi all,
Been reading through these pages and I think there are many others with the same problem as me but with no real answer, I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask anyway.
I have an Airport Express which I bought a couple of years ago. It initially worked fine on my old MacBook, I moved house and then it stopped working (flashing amber light syndrome). I got so fed up with it that it has been languishing in the loft ever since.
After a brief stint with a Windows laptop I decided it was time to return to Apple, and I haven't regretted it for a second.....until I got the Airport Express from the loft!
It simply, fundamentally and irrevocably...doesn't work! It's plugged in, amber light flashes but my nice new MacBook Pro just doesn't even recognise it exists. I have tried running the setup utility but at the first screen I am told that no unit is detected, I'm then told to check my Airport card (I assume it means the inbuilt modem which clearly works as I am writing to you guys now!). I can't even progress with the setup after this.
I have tried each of the Airport setup utilities to no avail (lap top cannot "see" AX).
Just as an update, I just connected my AX to my wireless router with an ethernet cable, a new network called 6ad16d appears to be available. Airtunes then works and I can connect to the internet (albeit slowly). I am not happy with this arrangement though as there is no padlock next to the new Apple network so I am worried that it isn't secure and surely I should be able to just plug my AX into the main and my hifi and it should work anyway?....just like it used to!
My apologies for the rambling post and please excuse my lack of computer knowledge. I really hope someone can help!

Fixed! You jut need a girlfriend with a lot of determination....not even sure she knows how she did it. Involved a lot of menus and a lot of swearing.
Surely this should be easier?!

MacBook Pro can't find AirPort Express base station

My friend gave me an AirPort Express and I've set it up as a base station before. But the other day it was having problems and I reset it. Since then I have not been able to set up a base station. When I try to set up a new base station through the AirPort Setup Assistant I get the message "The AirPort Setup Assistant was unable to find your base station." I have tried soft resets, hard resets, and even factory resets, but I can't get the base station set up. Any suggestions?
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I face a similar problem - the default name of the Airport Express is shown, Internet-Access works, but no way to administrate the Station - it is "not found", although it displays the name of it before. Frustration!
