HP PSC 1410 not printing with Airport Express

I have just purchased this printer. I'm running Tiger on a Powerbook G4.
When I set up the printer with a direct USB connection to my computer, the printer is added with the driver "HP All-in-One 3.0.1" automatically chosen. It works just fine.
When I plug in the printer to my Airport Express, the same All-in-One driver is automatically offered. I chose it, and the printer is added to my list of printers no problem. However, it just won't print. It tries to start the print job, and then the printer icon bounces in the dock with a big red exclamation mark. I try to click on start print job, and the same thing happens - it tries to start the job, but then just stops and the exclamation mark appears.
Does anyone know what might be wrong?
Thanks
Theresa

The PSC 1410 is not on the list of known compatible printers found at http://www.efelix.co.uk/tech/1013.html - which may very well explain the problem.

Mac OS X not working with Airport Express but Win XP is ok on the same iMac

Hello everyone,
as the message says I am having troubles with Airport Express.
To say it quickly, I live in a house share in London, and everyone in the house enjoys the wifi without troubles. I do as well with my macbook from every point of the house.
The troubles are with the big iMac: with mac os the internet signal won't just work at all, pages take minutes to load with both safari and firefox, and most of the times the loading times out.
I thought it was a signal power problem, but the weirdest thing of them all is that... when I switch to Windows XP on the same iMac (and right now I am writing from that!) the internet works perfectly!
Then I switch to mac os again... and slow internet again!
Anyone has an idea of what could this be?
Many thanks for the support

Yes, I just discovered this problem on my own machine.
I just wanted to check some settings and discovered that the behaviour of the GUI of Server Admin was somewhat "erratic": First this "no services are configured" message. Some of the configured servers were marked with the usual green "up and running" bullet, others dark grey - those were normally configured and running and clicking the appropriate line seemed to force Server Admin to check the actual state and then turned also green. But sometimes configuration pages were "greyed out", or while switching through the tabs Server Admin claimed that where were "unsaved changes" which should be saved (or discarded).
And then SMB: this was light grey, as usual when a service is not running and clicking on it I browsed through the configuration tabs - everything seemed ok (all my settings were correctly shown, configured as PDC with right domain name etc.) - and I started the service. Then suddenly the configuration settings changed to the default settings - no more PDC, but a "standalone server" with workgroup name "WORKGROUP"...
Looks for me, as if Server Admin lost it's "source" file for the configuration (the file in /var/db/smb.conf says, that it is automatically generated -- does somebody were the source file is stored?)...

I purchased the Apple airport express that connects
multiple
wireless-networked PCs to a usb printer.
is there a driver that can make this work?. I configured
the printer
according to the manual, received a test page and so on, but now it
takes ages to start printing and printing never gets to 100%
completion but to 99%. I am not able to cancel printing jobs and this
is a whole mess.

Wireless printing with Airport Express not working

I set up my Airport Express. I have an HP photojet printer and I can print from my Mac Air but the other 3 windows-based laptops that are connecting to Airport Express can't. Anyone know why that is or how to fix it?

You did install and run Bonjour for Windows on each PC, correct?
Does Bonjour "see" the printer...and it won't install....or.....does Bonjour not "see" the printer at all?
Just in case.....

Print with Airport Express

I've just buyed a new printer (HP Laserjet Pro 300 Color m351a) and installed new HP drivers in my Macbook Pro (with OSX 10.9 Mavericks) and when I connect the USB cable to the Airport Express (first model) to use it wireless I'm not able to see her in printer menu.
When I connect the printer directly to the Mac works fine
Can anybody help me?

Unfortunately, not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations. In addition, the AirPort's USB port does not support the "advanced" printer functions, like scanning, copying or faxing, of multi-function printers.
To see if your printer is compatible, take a look at this iFelix Unofficial AirPort Printer Compatibility link. If your printer isn't listed, it doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, but simply that it has not been verified. iFelix also provides the following workaround for printers not on the list that would certainly be worth a try.
Also you can try this Apple Tech Support article to see if it will help: Printer troubleshooting for AirPort Base Stations and Time Capsule
Finally, check out this IBM support article to see if your printer is listed as having a Postscript or PCL3 interface. If it does, then it will most likely work with the AirPort's USB port. Printers that use the "HP LIDIL" interface must be connected to a computer directly and will not work.

Printing with Airport Express: never compeletes

Hi,
I have an HP Deskjet 5740 connected over my Airport Express.
Printing works fine except for one very annoying issue: after the job is done the task is still in the printer's queue, and the activity light on the printer does not stop blinking.
When you look at the printer window under XP, it shows a weird "pages" count, like 4/1 when printing one single page.
In order to print something else you need to cancel the job manually from the printer tray.
Can somebody please help me?
Thank you

Printing with Airport Express as Base Station

That is, I think our Airport Express is our base station. It's the only thing we have, and we can connect to the internet just fine, but it doesn't show up in the Airport Utility.
The main problem is printing through the Airport Express. Our printer prints fine when plugged into the USB on the ibook but it won't print from the USB on the Airport Express.
We can see the printer located on our wireless network but when we try to print the print center says that printing has stopped with an error of level one, or category one or something. I do see the appropriate printer driver on the list when I add the printer (I think it's an Epson C40ux, but I'm doing this from memory) and that's set correctly. I've got the unofficial list of printers that work and don't work and I see that some printers may need other drivers to work from the wireless network. There must be other things to check, but I'm a little new at this. It seems like this would be a common problem but I'm not seeing many posts like this so if anyone has a moment and any ideas I'd be grateful. Thanks. Mark
Ibook Mac OS X (10.4.2) Airport Express

Thanks... I will try that first. I've also been advised to delete the network and add a new one with the printer connected... but your idea is simpler.

HP officejet J6480 stopped printing with Airport express.

My HP Officejet J6480 suddenly stopped printing wireless. I have my Mac and the printer on a network with an Airport express. The printer prints fine with USB. I have checked all HP software, drivers, and used the wizard to "reconnect" to the Mac. Everything is appropriate that I can tell. When I do the network setup with HP printer, it recognizes my network/router, but then asks me for my "WPA Key." I have no idea what this is or where to retrieve it to enter into the HP printer. Is this the final step to connect wirelessly??? How to I find how about the WPA key that will provide wireless connectivity??

The WPA or WEP key is the wireless encryption password you specified for your wireless network. If you no longer recall what it is, you'll have to reconfigure your Airport Express with a new one, and supply the new password to all your wireless equipment.
If you're still having trouble finding the printer, it may be due to having configured it to receive its IP address dynamically. That's appropriate for most wireless clients, but not for printers. Your Express may have reassigned its address to something else when it appeared the printer no longer needed it. A power failure will also cause a router to reassign IP addresses.
When that happens you have to create a new printer queue in OS X Print and Fax preferences, since the printer is no longer in the same "place", network-wise. For that reason, it's a good idea to specify a static IP address for printers. That way, its IP address never changes, and you don't have to create a new printer queue every time various iMacs, iPhones and other iThings drop in and out of your wireless network.

Slow wireless printing with Airport Express

I have a Canon MP530 printer hooked up to an Airport Express for wireless printing. My wireless internet network is through an Airport Extreme. The only thing hooked into the Express is the printer, and it works but is extremely slow. It can take an hour to print one 15 page document. Any ideas how to fix this?

I'm not sure I understand your question, or at least I don't know how to tell connection speed with the utility. The express is set up as an extension to my current wireless network, although I'm only using it for printing.
I had a similar experience with a hard drive wirelessly connected to the Extreme - data transfer was ridiculously slow. Is this something to be expected with wireless connectivity?

Wireless Printing with AirPort Express

Hi all, I've had an AirPort Express on my network for a while now and have been printing to a Canon LBP2900i laser printer without any problems.
It seems that since the last firmware upgrade for the AirPort Express was released and installed I receive the error message 'this port type is not supported by your printer' when trying to print.
It worked fine before so I can't figure out why it should be different now.
Any ideas?

I am using Airport Express with an Epson Photo R380 printer. When I use the Gutenprint 5.1.3 driver I get faded black type but I do have a connection to the printer and it prints.
When I use the Epson driver (and not Gutenprint as the Epson support page suggests not using it to solve the faded print problem) the printer shows up on the Airport Express but nothing happens when I send anything to it to print.
I've tried reloading the Epson driver etc - nothing seems to work.
Any suggestions on either how to get regular not faded printing using the Gutenprint driver or any connection at all using the Epson driver?

Printing with Airport Express

I have had an Airport Express for about 2 years, in my office to operate my HP J4550 printer wirelessly by plugging the printer into the USB port of the AE. Today, my Airport Extreme arrived, I hooked it up for internet and now, cannot print. I cannot get the Airport Express to show up in the Extreme under "other wireless devices" or elsewhere and it blinks amber. I have unplugged all devices from each other, the wall, everything- and replugged. Still, the Express blinks amber and will not change. Please, can you help me so the Express works again in my office and so that I can print? By the way, the office is on the same floor as the modem and the Extreme and is about 40' away. Never had this issue until I set up the Extreme. I got the Extreme because I was having issues with my very old Time Capsule base station and it was suggestion that I needed to upgrade. Funny thing is, the internet works better than ever (weird I know) but now cannot print or get the Express to function. Please help?
OS X Yosemite (10.10)

Did you give all devices the same name And password?
the he express should show as itself, with the same name as the other routers in airport utility.

Printing with Airport Express without an internet connection?

I have a printer which I would like to print from my MacBook Air wirelessly.
I don't have any network connections neither a internet connection since I use a wireless broadband card.
So my question is, do I need to have a internet connection for the airport express or can I just use it as a wireless to print.
Thank in advance.

Though you don't need an internet connection (which technically you have with your broadband card), I have read of an issue with connecting to more than one network (i.e. AirPort Express and your wireless broadband). If there is an issue, then it is possible you will have to switch to the Express for printing and back to your wireless broadband when your are not.

IMac not conecting with airport express

Could you help me because i have some problems with my IMac that not connecting with air port express even if wifi signal going on....

Look for the model number on your AirPort Express. It's on the side of the device in the faint print.
It will likely be either A1084 or A1088, which are older versions of the product produced up until 2007.
If you have either of these models, AirPort Utility in the Mountain Lion operating system no longer supports these older versions of the AirPort Express.
If you have another Mac there using the Leopard 10.5.x or Snow Leopard 10.6.x operating system, you can use that Mac (or a PC) to administer the old AirPort Express.
It might also be possible to use a workaround......not supported by Apple, so success cannot be guaranteed. If you want to try that, check out this thread:

Internet connection not recognized with Airport Express

Prior to getting my first Airport Express, I'd had my broadband modem connected directly to my Mac mini. Since I hadn't an iphone or ipad back then, wireless access wasn't an issue. When that changed, I purchased a first-generation Airport Express. My setup was as simple as it gets:
a) Unplug the ethernet cable from my mini.
b) Plug the ethernet cable into the (single) ethernet port on AE.
c) Using Airport Utility, create a wireless network.
d) Join that network with each of my devices - mini, iphone & ipad - so I might access the Internet wirelessly.
That's it. I've no printer or sound system to which I need wireless access. No extended wireless or other complicated networks.
My hardware setup needs haven't changed. However, because I was having intermittent problems with the wireless connection to my mini, I thought the new AE with its dual bands might help. I bought one yesterday, thinking to use it in place of the old AE.
I figured the setup would go as easily as it did last time. I was wrong. I've spent the last six hours trying to get the new AE to work. The problem is that the Internet connection is not being recognized. First, there was a message about a "self assigned IP address." I googled that, found discussions here about it, and (seemingly) managed to get rid of that problem. But now, no matter how many times I've unplugged/factory reset/restarted the various devices (AE, modem, mini), I can't get an Internet connection. The only way I've been able to write this message is to have reconnected the broadband modem directly to my mini. So I am completely without wireless at this point.
What is wrong? How the heck can I fix this?

Well, thanks to my own stubborn tenacity, I finally got my spanking new Airport Express to work. I'd tried several factory resets, following the recommendation that one power down all devices (not just the AE), plus other fiddling about, all to no effect.
The last factory reset I did differently. I kept my broadband modem and computer still on, and only unplugged the AE then plugged it in again while depressing the reset button for ten seconds. (Those factory resets aren't easy to do when you've only two hands!)
Finally, this time when I clicked the wi-fi icon in the menu bar, I saw the AE listed there, which allowed me to follow the setup process as described here.
