HP3330 Multi Funtion Laser/copier/fax/scanner shared using Airport Express

Ok, so as the title suggests, I am trying to access my HP3330 Multifunction Laser/copier/fax/scanner which is shared using an Airport Express in the other room. I can print to it just fine, so communication is good. What I am curious about is a way to use the fax and or scanner wireless
Any help gladly appreciated.

  • File and printer sharing using Airport Express, usb HP Deskjet 3620 printer

    I have a general question, and other forum users might have a good resolution for it - but if not, here's what i'm dealing with..
    I have an Airport Express that I bought a couple of years back, it has all the necessary firmware upgrades, i'm running 2 Windows XP boxes going through a combination of Ethernet on 1 directly to the 2 Wire Home Portal 2701HG-B, and I also have an additional Netgear WGR614 v7. All firmware upgrades on all devices is installed and functioning after reset.. I've tried using a combination of the Windows XP built-in networking software, Apple Airport Utility, as well as Bonjour to get things configured and working right over the network. I've also installed the AT&T software, one is running the Mcafee security suite, and mine (the Etnernet box) is running the diagnostic utility.
    I've tried defaulting all the firewall settings in either/or/all routers i've tried setting the Airport up with, and there still seems to be problems getting file and printer sharing to work right on all computers, and still remain safe behind the firewall. All the network hardware is set up with wpa2/psk authentication, and appears to be configured correctly.
    The only version of the Apple Airport Utility that will run successfully on the systems, is the original version that came on the CD with the Airport. Both systems are completely up-to-date from Windows update, and are both running XP service pack 3.
    I know for a fact, that the Airport is working just fine, as I've troubleshot all possible known hardware issues with it individually, hooked up to 1 pc (with current updates installed and running). Wireless works fine, i'm actually running the Airport utility on my main system in the living room, that's hooked up hardwired to the router. Both systems get online and surf without a problem going through either/or router as well. I've also tried dissabling the Windows firewall on both systems, and trying to set up file and printer sharing manually using the wizard, and that don't seem to resolve the issues either. However, both systems (wheather hooked up networked, OR individually), have both been experiencing some odd "quirks". The Ethernet box i'm on, has overwritten my primary HD, as "Athena" and made it unusable. The wireless box, has been giving simular "boot-up" related errors as well. I've checked the Cmos/DOS settings on both, and performed the suggested "boot-up" priority related tasks, and both systems are still experiencing problems. The Mcafee suite is up-to-date, and has caught several potentially dangrous programs running on the wireless box, hooked up to the Airport Express, INCLUDING the bundled HP diagnostic software.. However file and printer sharing still remains elusive...
    Are there any suggestions about settings to check on the devices, or in the computers, to make sure it's all configured correctly?

    ...Also file/printer sharing just flat out over the network is NOT a problem, as it's been configured before over ethernet through my Netgear router and file/printer sharing worked just fine.
    The main problem seems to be in the Airport Express' settings, it will "get configured" and then lock me out of the utility to where I can't get back in..
    The main Airport password has not been changed, and the wireless network encryption is the same for all wireless devices running on the network.
    The main problem, just seems to be with the Airport.
    Even the Home Portal has detected the Netgear router (unless it having my Netgear router saved in it's settings might be causing a conflict)... Suggestions?
    I've contacted AT&T Home Networking for help already about the Home Portal, unfortunately they can not help me with other network related issues, since i'm not using the 2 wire wireless adapters offered by AT&T...

  • Using Airport Express with Internet Sharing in Leopard

    Howdy all,
    I have Internet Sharing enabled on my MacBook Pro running Leopard 10.5.4. I use a Sprint Sierra Wireless Aircard 597E modem to connect to the Internet.
    I'm trying to get my Airport Express & Time Machine to recognize my MacBook Pro, or the other way around. Basically, I want to be able to access the Airport Express to wirelessly play music through a pair of speakers and be able to access the Time Machine for backups & accessing files.
    With Internet Sharing enabled, my iPhone can access the web, so I believe I have the sharing set up correctly. However, I can't see the Time Machine and my Airport Express just keeps blinking amber.
    Does anyone know what I might need to do to resolve this issue?
    Any help is so very very much appreciated!

    Thanks Kappy,
    I'm not sure you're exactly following me on this one, though. Here's what I've discovered on my own for anyone else facing the same situation I am:
    1. You /cannot/ use Airport Express while using Leopard's Internet Sharing.
    2. If you want to create a local network, in this situation, you'll need to use Time Capsule to establish the initial local network, then join the Airport Express into that network. At that point you can use Time Machine with Time Capsule, access it as a hard drive and use AirTunes with the Airport Express.
    But you cannot use the Sprint AirCard (and I assume any other similar setup) and your Mac with Internet Sharing to build the local network and then join the other devices to it. Unfortunately.

  • Fax and Scan with Airport Express

    I have an Airport Express with my Mac and a Windows Vista PC running on my wireless network. I have a HP PSC printer, but I am unable to scan or fax from either computer. Any ideas if this is possible, and if so, how?

    I have a HP PSC printer, but I am unable to scan or fax from either computer.
    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.
    Any ideas if this is possible, and if so, how?
    Yes, two that come to mind are:
    o Connect the printer directly to the USB port on your Mac, or
    o If the printer is Ethernet-enabled, you could connect it to the Ethernet port of the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) if the AX is reconfigured to be a remote base station in a Wireless Distribution System (WDS).

  • Can I use Airport Express to connect to a printer, Time Machine Back up drive, second b/u drive, and scanner through a USB hub? if so, how?

    I have an Airport Express that connects to my printer. I'd like to add a scanner, and two back up drives (one for use with Time Capsule, another specifically for photographs backed up from Adobe Lightroom.
    The printer connects to the Airport Express through a USB hub and is recognized.  I cannot get the scanner nor either of the back up drives to be recognized.  Is there a way to do it or will I need to rely on a USB hub wired to the USB port of the MacBookPro?  If it is possible, can you walk me through the set up for each? 
    Thanks,
    Doug Earle

    I'd like to add a scanner, and two back up drives (one for use with Time Capsule, another specifically for photographs backed up from Adobe Lightroom.
    Unfortunately, the USB port on the AirPort Express will only work with a compatible printer.
    It will not work with a scanner, copier, or hard drive.
    It should be possible to do what you want by connecting a powered USB hub to your Mac and then connecting the devices to the powered hub.
    The setup for the scanner and hard drive would be covered by the manfacturers documentation, so providing specific advice for those types of products would be outside the realm of this support area.
    But, if you can provide model numbers, it is always possible that another user who is using those products might see this post.

  • Setting up a multi-zone stereo system in my home with Airport Express

    I'm trying to set up an in-home stereo system using iTunes as my main hub.  I want to play iTunes as well as Pandora and possibly Sirius.  Can I set this up with Airport Express?  Would I control everything through iTunes on my MacBook or an iPad?  How is this all wired if I have some existing external speakers with a receiver in my family room, built-in ceiling speakers in the kitchen, and outdoor external speakers?  I am comparing this to a Sonos system, but the Sonos is not really in my budget. 
    Also, what is the difference between Airport Express and Airport Extreme?  What would I need for this situation?  Thanks in advance for your help.

    >I want to play iTunes as well as Pandora and possibly Sirius. Can I set this up with AirPort Express?
    From iTunes you can stream a single audio source to one or multiple 802.11n AirPort Express Base Stations (AXn), but you cannot stream multiple audio sources to separate AXns. You would need a third-party product, like Rogue Amoeba's Airfoil to stream audio sources other than from iTunes.
    >Would I control everything through iTunes on my MacBook or an iPad?
    You could do either.
    >How is this all wired if I have some existing external speakers with a receiver in my family room, built-in ceiling speakers in the kitchen, and outdoor external speakers?
    Of the speakers you mentioned, only the ones connected to the receiver would work directly connected to an AXn. The audio output port on the AXn is a combo 3.5 mm stereo analog/optical digital port. Assuming your receiver accepts either analog or digital audio input, you can feed the output of iTunes or Airfoil from the AXn to the receiver. In turn, the receiver (if configured for whole home stereo) can feed the kitchen and outdoor speakers.
    >Also, what is the difference between AirPort Express and AirPort Extreme?
    What's similar: Both are Internet routers that provide wireless. Both provide the ability to share an attached USB printer. What's different: The Extreme has a built-in Ethernet switch. The Extreme supports sharing HDDs and printers together or separately via a USB hub. The Express has a built-in audio circuitry, the Extreme does not.
    >What would I need for this situation?
    Only the Express can accomplish providing an audio stream.

  • Sharing internet to wired client using Airport Express

    hey
    I'm trying to connect a client to my home network through ethernet to a airport express which is wirelessly connected to a Airport extreme base station (802.11n).
    This is what i would like my setup to be.
    ADSL to modem to Airport extreme wirelessly to Airport Express wired to client (will eventually be a xbox media center).
    It says in the apple FAQs that this is possible by configuring the AX as a WDS remote or relay. Since i have no desire to extend the rage on the network, I've made it a WDS remote, but I tried to connect my macbook to it over ethernet to test, which didn't work. Is there any settings that need to be changed it the connection is going to be shared to a wired client?
    Thanks
    Mike

    I have the xact same question as Mcgio. Earlier in this thread there was mention of WDS. From what I have gathered elsewhere, WDS is only necessary if you want to extend your wireless network? That is not what I want to do - I essentilly want to extend my wired network using the AX wirelessly.
    I ask about WDS because it does not appear that my Netgear WNR834M router supports WDS (nothing about it in config or the manual).
    Will what we are trying to work and what do we need to do?

  • Can't print to hp laser jet 1020 printer connected to airport express

    Hello All - I recently bought an airport extreme so I am doing some re-configuring of my home network but I am having issues getting the desired out come.
    I have the airport extreme connected to the modem. From the extreme in another room, I have an airport express connected to the airport extreme wirelessly (I set that up through the airport utility without any problems.)  Now I want to connect my usb hp laser jet 1020 printer the airport express to print from.  I have a windows 7 machine.  I can see the printer connected to the airport express through the airport utility.  I have tried to use the bonjour print service to set up the print connection.  Bonjour sees the printer connected as well, I run through all the prompts and click finish, but when I go to print something, it goes to print que and nothing happens. (side note, the printer works just fine when connected directly to the computer).
    So I guess my question is, it appears the computer sees that my printer is connected to the airport express. But some point along the way, when I go to print, the message gets lost or goes to the wrong place. I am on the right track?  Any other suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Does "plugged into it" mean that the printer is connected using USB or Ethernet?
    If USB, have you run Bonjour for Windows to find and configure the printer?  (Pages 16-17 in the Setup Guide)
    Bonjour Print Services for Windows v2.0.2

  • Has anyone connected a scanner to the AirPort Express unit?

    I have an AirPort express wireless unit right now running as a range extender. I have not connected a printer to it yet and I was wondering if the unit only allows printers or would a scanner or other similar USB device also work?
    I am more curious right now, and simply wondering if anyone has been successful connecting a non-printer to that port.

    thanks to both of you for the info but I am a stubborn guy:)
    That article does not exclude scanners in the list of devices that don't work.
    A scanner is "close" to a printer. Certainly closer than a disk drive, and as Spok says, "There are always possibilities."
    I was told that the AirPort Express device would not work with my LinkSys SRX200 and it works fine as a range extender.
    I will first connect a printer to the USB port just to get my feet wet and after I get that working I will unplug it and connect my scanner to it and see what happens. The very worst thing would be that the world comes to an end.
    Anyway, I will report back what happens. Certainly something should happen such as an error message or a driver error or some such thing or it might work.
    Being a born hacker, telling me it won't work is music to my ears.
    OK, maybe it won't work. But so far, nobody has told me why.
    I will return

  • Sharing a Canon PIXMA MP780 printer between OS using Airport Express

    Hello.....I've been sharing a Canon PIXMA MP780 between a wired desktop PC and a wireless laptop PC. I recently got a new MacBook and want it to share the same printer. I set up my Airport Express with no problem, but my MacBook doesn't recognize the printer. I thought I just might need to update the printer drivers, but when I contacted Canon, they said this printer doesn't support networking between two different OS. Does anyone know if this is really true (we all know how often we get incorrect info from tech support types) and if it is true, has anyone found any work-arounds for this? Thank you!

    I have a similiar problem, only it is reversed. Using the mac, it took me a minute to print wirelessly. But with the pc... I've used the entire evening, and it's still not possible.

  • Internet sharing using AirPort...

    Hi,
    I have an iMac and a MacBook... I share the internet connection from my iMac's built in ethernet adapter to AirPort so i can connect my MacBook...
    DHCP server on OS X gives to my MacBook an IP address like 10.0.2.X and the other settings.
    After some random time period, the MacBook get disconnected and next second connected again but, the IP address change to something like 169.254.XX.XX, the bullet comes yellow and status is writed the it have a self assigned IP address... The connection to the my iMac is reported to work (the AirPort status in menu bar reports that is connected) but i actualy have no conectivity at all...
    Trying to set manual IP address and DNS and GW gives no result...
    I use WEP encription (40 bit) right now...
    On iMac i have Leopard and on MacBook i have Tiger...
    Any one can give a clue about what is wrong? Can be a problem with my AirPort module in any of my computer?
    Thanks

    There is a ethernet connection on my mac pro which is being shared over the airport card in the mac pro with wep 128 encryption. The mbp is four feet away on my desk, getting 5 signal bars for the network and using DHCP to connect (10.0.2.2 is the usual IP address assigned by the mac pro since this is the only other computer connecting to the airport) but periodically just jumps to some weird self-assigned ip address (as reported by the first poster on this thread). This does not seem to happen at my home where I have a different wireless router. I have installed the 802.11n updater for the wireless card on the mbp and other than the EFI firmware updates (which the mbp refuses to install), all the software on the mbp is totally up to date.

  • Can't find hard drive shared using Airport Extreme

    Hi,
    I just bought a Airport Extreme and set it up to access the internet. However I am having trouble sharing my external hard drive. I followed the instructions in the manuals but can't see or find my "shared" hard drive on my Mac Air or PC?? I have open Finder but there is now shared drop down menu?
    I am fairly new at this so I am sure it is something small I am doing wrong. Hope some one can help me!!

    This set up was suggested to me by an Apple Store employee when I was shopping for my AirPort Extreme and that same employee seemed to indicate that this was how they actually performed their backups at the Apple Store, so obviosuly I was surprised to find information online that states it is not officially supported.
    Yes, unfortunately we've had a number of reports of similar statements by folks at the Apple stores.
    As Tesserax says, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. That's probably why Apple doesn't support it. See Using Time Machine with an Airport Extreme Air Disk (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
    In my case, it worked flawlessly for about 3 months, then every couple of days the backups would come up corrupted. Once, +Disk Utility+ was able to fix it; another time, +Disk Warrior+ could. The other times, the only solution was to erase and start over. Since then, it's worked well, although very slowly on occasion. And that's all with exactly the same hardware, in exactly the same locations. (And the disk is a Seagate Free Agent Pro, too.)
    This forum, and the Time Machine forums, have any number of similar reports.
    I'd strongly suggest you either:
    Return the Airport (and perhaps the disk) to the store. Insist on a full refund because of bad advice, and refer them to the Apple article.
    Take your chances, but by all means keep some sort of secondary backups. See #27 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum), for some recommendations.

  • Few questions about file sharing using airport

    I'm thinking about getting an AirPort Extreme, but I have a few questions:
    1- I (must) use Ubuntu Linux at work and I would like to be able to acess my home files hosted at AirPort remotly. Is this possible?
    2- Can I access my files on my iPhone using 3G connection (eg: download or stream mp3 files, photos, ...)?
    Thanks in advance!

    Yes.
    Yes. Use FileBrowser for iPad.

  • Can I have cable modem connected to iMac but shared with Airport Express?

    I have my internet access to my iMac through a cable modem wired to the Mac. I use the Airport Express to play music from the Mac wirelessly to my stereo. Can I then share the internet access I have on the iMac through the AX without actually connecting the modem to the AX? The wiring is easier to get to the Mac than it would be to get wiring from the cable modem to the Airport Express at the stereo. I want to be able to access the internet wirelessly from a PC laptop that I also have.
    Thanks

    Yes, you can do that. Using the AirPort Utility, you would set the AirPort Express up to create a wireless network giving it whatever name you want. When it gives you an error message that nothing is connected over ethernet, you can click the button to ignore that message and it will perform as you are requesting.
    Note that if your internet connection stops working when you do this, then you may need to change your network port priority so ethernet is higher than AirPort.
