HP Officejet on AirPort Express - prints fine but can't scan

I posted this on the HP user forums, but no response. Can my Mac brethren and sistren help?
I put my sister's HP Officejet 6210 All-In-One on an AirPort Express. She can print to it wirelessly just fine from her OS X 10.5 MacBook w/ AirPort card, and her HP printer utility sees the 6210 as a Bonjour printer. But when we launch the HP scan app, it can't see the 6210.
I downloaded and installed the latest HP package before I even started moving the 6210. Any ideas, anyone?

As dechamp correctly said printers connected via USB will not copy, fax or scan over a network. However the OJ 6210 does have the ability to add a HP Jet Direct network card, with that installed you should be able to use the additional functionality. It has been a long time since I've used a Jet Direct card as I recall they were pretty pricy but they worked extremely well. My suggestion is if you must have the additional functionality (scan, fax & copy) from the network to invest in a networkable AIO.
HP makes quite a number of them in all price ranges depending on your needs and wants, they begin about $149.
The other solution is to connect it via USB to your Mac and use Bonjour to connect to the other machines on the network, then turn on print sharing and that might work on the scan,fax & copying.
While what you wanted to do originally didn't work there are a number of solutions available to you.

Airport Express signal fine but no internet connection

We have been using an Airport Express for wireless Internet access and recently are unable to connect to the Internet. We use a Comcast cable modem, through a Linksys router, to the Airport Express. We can connect by network cable to the router and access the Internet, but are unable to connect wirelessly. We are getting a signal from the Airport Express (the light is green), but no Internet connectivity. We have restarted and done a hard reset (holding the reset button while plugging the Airport Express in) of the Airport Express, but it did not seem to help. The hard reset did not result in resetting the settings, so perhaps there is another way to reset it or perhaps there is another problem.
Has anyone had similar problems?

I tried power cycling the cable modem, downloading new firmware (why didn't Software Update tell me about this?), deleting the DNS servers, hard reset of AirPort Express, factory reset of AirPort Express, fiddling with AirPort Admin Utility, fiddling with AirPort Setup, all of the above in different order and different combinations, and it still would not work.
Power cycling the cable modem was one of the first things I did, and that resulted in getting Internet connection through the cable modem onto the ethernet cable; just no Internet through AirPort. Finally, after a factory reset of the AirPort Express did not help, I decided to power cycle the cable modem again, even though I had already just confirmed again that I was getting the Internet through the ethernet cable. Once the cable modem finished the power cycle, it finally worked! I was back on the Internet via AirPort!
I'm not exactly sure which solution fixed it for me, but I suspect that it didn't work at first because I did not power cycle the cable modem afterwards. In other words, if after changing AirPort settings you still are not connected to the Internet, try power cycling the cable modem. Do this every time for each change you make to the AirPort settings.
The other thing I learned is that unplugging the cable modem from the wall power outlet or turning off the power strip will NOT power cycle the cable modem properly. Instead, you must remove the power cord from the cable modem. I tried all three of these methods and for whatever reason, the only time it worked was by removing the power cord.

My Airport Express is green, but my computer does not find it on a scan. I have used it before, but it just stopped working.

My Airport Express is green, but on a scan, my computer does not find it. I normally use it to play music from my Itunes to my house stereo speakers, and the icon shows up in itunes. it stopped working and now my computer does not recognize it. Help!!! I hate listening to music on small speakers.

Hello there Karen,
It sounds like you are having to power cycle your modem to get internet back every single day. We can start by troubleshooting your Airport Express to help isolate the issue. I would first perform a Soft Reset, then test the issue again. If needed as a last resort I would then perform a Hard Reset:
Soft reset
Connect the device to power and wait for it to complete its start up process. To learn more about the start up process, please see All about Wi-Fi base station Status Lights (LED).
Press and hold the reset button with a pen, pencil, or straightened paperclip for 1 full second, then release it. The light (LED) will begin flashing amber, indicating that the device is in soft reset mode.
From the AirPort menu bar item, choose the network created by the device (the network name does not change).
Open AirPort Utility from Applications > Utilities.
Select the base station, then click Edit (The Edit window will indicate that the base station is in Soft Reset mode).
Move through the tabs to make changes to your passwords or other settings as needed, and click Update and Continue as required
Quit AirPort Utility.
Hard reset
Press and hold the reset button with a pen, pencil, or straightened paperclip until you see the status light (LED) start to flash amber rapidly, which should occur after about five seconds.
Release the button and the device will reset.
Wait about a minute for the base station to finish restarting, then open AirPort Utility from Applications > Utilities.
Select the base station from Other Wi-Fi Devices, then click Edit.
Select the Other Options button.
Select "Restore previous settings" and click Next until you get to the final window.
AirPort Utility will indicate that Setup is complete. Click Done.
Quit AirPort Utility.

Airport express: wireless works, but internet does not

Hello.
It happened yesterday for no apparent reason: Internet was not working via airport anymore, as it should have normally.
Config: Cable modem to Airport extreme (.g); USB printer attached to base station, base station Ethernet port going to router with Boradband phone and 1 PC attached to it.
4 MAc computers attached to Network (and getting Internet) via Airport.
Internet connection using DHCP, dynamic IP address provided by RoadRunner (Time Warner).
I tested Cable Modem (works), all ethernet cables (good), reset base station and recreated an airport network.
Airpot network works, USB printer is accessible via Airport, but Internet is still off (although Network Configuration in Sys Pref give me a green light and informs me that I am connected to the internet)
My question: is it possible that Base Station fails only for its Internet/WAN capability, and not for Network functions?
thanks. This one is a puzzler.

Hello.
We have been having the same problem discussed in this thread earlier, described as follows:
It happened two days ago for no apparent reason:
Internet was not working via Airport Express anymore, as it
should have normally.
Config: Cable modem to Airport Express via a US Robotics router,
2 MAC computers (iMac700 and MacMini) attached to Network (and getting
Internet), the iMac through router and the MacMini via Airport Express.
Internet connection using DHCP, dynamic IP address
provided by RoadRunner (Time Warner).
iMac connected to router is getting Internet just fine; MacMini connected to network via AEX is getting network signal but no Internet. Network diagnostics says it can't tell what's wrong and call ISP. ISP says it's an Apple problem.
I tested Cable Modem (works), all ethernet cables
(good), Airport Express network works, but Internet is still off for MacMini.
I've done a power recycling exercise twice, but still no Internet on the MacMini.
Does anyone have any ideas? Both my son and I are stumped. He's a teenager and is fairly computer savvy. Neither of us has been able to figure this out.

First page prints fine but subsequent pages expand beyond page border

When I print a web page or selection that extends beyond one page, the first page prints fine, but the type size on subsequent pages is expanded so that the content extends beyond the right edge of the page. This never happened before I upgraded to Firefox 8, but now happens every time. My workaround is to print one page at a time -- very cumbersome.
I'm printing to an HP Officejet Pro 8500. I have not changed printer settings since upgrading Firefox.

Same problem here, but it doesn't seem to depend on the printer. Same thing happens when creating pdf files. It has started witha recent upgrade, not sure however whether this hasn't happened already with version 7. Currently I am using Firefox 8.0.1 on Mac OS X 10.6.8.

Airport Express works fine with non-Apple products???

I've owned my Airport Express for 2 years now and never a problem until this morning. Now, the airport express is powered on, green light and all, connected to cable modem, but my Early 2008 Macbook Pro and iPhone 4 will not connect to it. Funny though, because it shows up in my list of networks on both devices. When I try to select it from the list (of course it used to connect automatically, now it doesn't connect at all), neither the MBP nor the iPhone can establish a connection with it. Sometimes the iPhone asks for a password, even though the password hasn't changed and it is stored in the device. It should also be noted that both the iPhone 4 and MBP can still see and connect to my neighbors' wireless routers within range.
Now for the really weird part: the Airport Express still connects to and performs at 100% with other devices, including 1) my Dell running Windows Vista, 2) my XBox 360, 3) HTC Thunderbolt phone, and 4) a Sony Blu Ray player with wireless internet capabilities. I have power cycled all of the equipment at least 5 times, and all of the non-Apple devices continue to connect to the Airport Express just fine, while the iPhone 4 and MBP cannot connect. I have even installed Airport Utility on the Dell and did a full factory reset of the Airport Express, but that didn't fix the problem either.
What is going on here?

At first we could plug the Dell in directly but that was before setting up the AX. Now that the AX works the Dell cannnot connect even wired. (It says that it's connected but it cannot find server when you try to open a webpage). Could this be a problem that the moden cannot go between Mac & windows?
Most modems tend to "remember" the last device connected to it, so it's important to do a complete power-down/power-up when switching devices. It's possible that your modem did this when you attempted to connect the PC directly. My purpose of having you connect the PC directly was to verify that it can access the Internet with a wired connection and that it's wireless setting needs to be troubleshot further.
The power recycle process should be something like the following:
- Power-off the modem & AX; If possible, leave the modem off overnight.
- Power-on the modem; Wait at least 30 minutes.
- Power-on the AX; Wait at least 5 minutes.

Just installed a HP Color Laserjet CM2320nf MFP printer, at the same time I upgraded to Lion. It prints fine, but I cannot use the scan functions. I downloaded the most recent driver! Any help would be appreciated.

HP says that the drivers for your all in one print/scanner are downloadable from apple. For the scanner to use preview. image capture or the scan icon from the print driver queue. I don't know how old your HP is, but I know that the newer Os from apple don't support a lot of older printers. You might be able find a third party driver that could work.

One Pixel Borders Print Fine But Only Display At Magnification

I've looked around at some other posts on image borders and haven't seen any posts about image borders that print fine but do not predictably display in the PDF. For example, I add one-pixel borders to PNG images I create in SnagIt. I then use FrameMaker (8 and 11) to generate PDFs. When I view the PDFs in Acrobat Standard or Adobe Reader, the various sides of the rectangular border appear differently (some missing, some fat, some thin) until I magnify way over 100 %.
My document reviewers are routinely telling me I've neglected to add the 1 px border to every side if the images, but they are there--just only visible when the document is printed or when it's enlarged on the screen.
Are there any tricks for getting Adobe Acrobat/Reader to display these 1 px borders consistenly on screen? I should mention that this is also the case if I generate PDFs from MadCap Flare.

By all means, blog. But I'm wondering if something along the lines of a petition / open letter format might be more effective in affecting the corporate decision-making process. Those of us affected should discuss and, if possible, get help on who and how to get this addressed. That's why I've asked for advice on who the relevant person is who I should contact. If you've ever worked in a bureaucracy you know that sometimes talking to the right person can save a lot of time and trouble.
BTW, if the Apple moderators are following this thread, I'd be pleased to know what your thoughts are on this issue. This problem seems fairly common, but only among users of the 1.67 iteration of the 17" PB (as far as I know). We are users who invested a lot of money in the best (& most expensive) mobile hardware that Apple had to offer at the time of purchase. We're probably faithful customers who, in time, will spend a lot more money on Apple hardware in the future. Why squander goodwill over a matter like this?
It just seems to make sense that Apple would institute a limited recall to fix this known and obvious fault. It's a good idea for us and for them.
Peace

Airport express loses signal but software says it's OK, and light is green?!

My AirPort express wireless 7.6.4 has just stopped working although the light is green and the Airport Utility software in the computer (10.9.5) says the connection is "excellent". I have it connected to a BOSE speaker which works (I tested it with an iPhone in the dock to make sure it wasn't the speaker gone). The airport express uses a wireless signal from an airport extreme (7.6.4) which is working because I tested the AP extreme and printed wirelessly from the computer. The airport extreme is connected to a modem via an ethernet cable. I have done a soft and hard reset on the AirPort express, and I still can't get my audio happening. I accidentally turned off the modem earlier and that is when the problems started. Obviously the signal is there according to the software. I have run out of ideas how to fix this!

I did what this thread recommends last night...worked perfectly!
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6732758&#6732758
I unplugged all modules, left them for 5 mins minimum. Then reconnected modem and then Airport express. Immediately got a gree solid light after reboot and then Airport Utility used to set up my base. Internet is super fast again.

Airport express worked fine now shows only constant amber light ?

airport express worked fine now shows only constant amber light ?

A solid amber light indicates that the AirPort Express cannot get out of startup mode.....likely because of a power supply issue within the device.
Try a Factory Default Reset as a last resort to see if that might help. To do this....
Power off the AirPort Express and wait a minute or two
Hold in the reset button on the Express first, and keep holding it for 9-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the Express back into power
Release the reset button after the hold period and allow a full minute for the Express to restart
At this point, if the Express is operating correctly, the amber light will be blinking slowly and you can reconfigure the Express again.
If the amber light remains solid after a few reset attempts, the internal power supply on the Express is faulty and the device will need to be replaced.

Test print works but can't print from programs

I have installed an Officejet 6500A. Install went as expected and drivers were loaded ok. I can print a test page and the maintenance utilites will print fine but it will not print from any of the Windows programs. I am connected via USB. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks.

So if I understand you correctly, the switch works with everything on the wired network (including the MacBook Pro). You can't see the wired network when connecting wirelessly on the MacBook Pro.
So you must have the switch attached to the airport extreme ethernet port. All of your other computers are attached to the switch.
Try to use the UNIX command ping in terminal.
Example :
Start terminal
ping 10.xxx.xxx.xxx
where 10.xxx.xxx.xxx is the ip of a computer on your network
This will tell you if the computer on the network is visible.

How can I create a start up disk for a old intel core duo running 10.5.8.. Computer works fine, but can't find install disk.

How can I create a start up disk for a old intel core duo running 10.5.8.. Computer works fine, but can't find install disk. Want to use internal disk drive or USD flash drive.

Try calling 1-800-676-2775. Give the serial number and thy *may* still burn you new install disks designed just for the hrdware in your system (for a fee, something like $160 per disk). *May* is only because they may not burn disks for Leopard anymore.
If they do not burn them for you, you can buy Leopard disks off Amazon or eBay for about $200.
Have you considered Snow Leopard?. Those disks only cost $19 (single user) or $29 (5-user license) through Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE.

Living in apartment, here it has only wireless (no wired cable in the room). I've an airport express (new ) so how can I do for extending signal (wireless) for using in myroom

Living in an apartment, here it has only wireless (no wired cable in the room) signal using for the internet connection. I've an airport express (new) ,so how can I do for extending signal (wireless) for using in myroom. because the wireless signal is so weak.

Unfortunately, you won't be able to. In order to do so, you would have to configure both the AirPort Express and the other wireless router for a WDS. Since it will unlikely that the other router is another AirPort, nor will you have the ability to administer it, you won't be able to get this accomplished.

thank you

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.
