Rufus Cat-
Even if it was compatible, AirPrint does not work through a USB link, only Ethernet or WiFi.
I do not see your HP 4500 listed on Apple's list of AirPrint compatible printers. <iOS: AirPrint 101> Therefore you need to take another approach. To start, I suggest you download the free HP App, ePrint Home & Biz. It has limitations, but should get you printing with your existing setup.
There are other printing Apps with more features such as Print n Share and PrintCentral, but they can only be accessed from within other Apps that have the "Open In" option.
Your best option may be to share your computer's printer as AirPrint over WiFi. Programs that are reported to do that well are Printopia and FingerPrint. Your computer must be on and awake any time you want to print. <Printopia for Macintosh> <FingerPrint for PC and Mac>

Printing with HP all-in-one connected to Airport Extreme with USB

We have an HP Photosmart 2610 all-in-one, an AirPort Extreme base station, and a G-5 MacIntosh running OS 10.4.8. We can print when the all-in-one unit is connected directly to the Mac with USB cable, however, we are unable to print when the USB cable is connected to the base station. What can you suggest?

Which driver are you using?
According to HP must use drivers 6.3.4 or 7.0

Apps are not part of the backup. You need to sync them to the iPhone from iTunes on your computer or re-download them from the iTunes Store. For the latter option, see:

I have an iPhone 5 unlocked but cannot get a payg nano sim for Vodafone uk. Any suggestions ?

If Vodafone does not provide a nano-SIM card, there are no suggestions. Not only is the nano-SIM card smaller, it is also thinner, so cutting a micro-SIM card down to size wouldn't be enough to fit.

HP F4400 printer - connecting to airport extreme via ethernet

I'm trying to install a HP Deskjet F4400 All in One printer on network using Airport Extreme using USB port. Deleted the print driver and reinstalled from the original disk. Unplugged everything and reconnected. Can connect directly to my MacBookPro (OSx v10.6.8) and print just can't print using network. Get "printer offline" message. Any suggestions?

When you use network printing, you can't have the printer selected from the LAST location (USB) because that printer technically doesn't exist anymore because you moved it.
Even though the name of the new location of the printer looks the same as from the last location, technically they are different printers as far as the OSX is concerned.

HT204053 I am in the US NOW with a Can ID . I am receiving mail but cannot send, would iCloud mail work for me?

I am in the US NOW with a Canadian email provider . I can receive all my email, but cannot send . Would ICloud mail for sending solve my problem?

Yes, it should work. If it does not work at the moment, try to sign out of iCloud and then try to sign in again, this solves the problem in most cases.

My Time Capsule does not recognize internet after DSL problem. I can hard wire my computer but cannot get TC to do wireless. How do I reset? I have unplugged for a reboot but the amber light is flashing.

I had a problem with DSL service provider. They have corrected their problem but now, I can only hard wire into my desktop for internet access. If I plug in through the Time Capsule, I get no wireless service. I unplugged the Time Capule and rebooted but now the amber light is blinking tellimg me that it cannot access internet. So, I have hard wired back to my Mac and need to know how to get the Time Capsue to recognize the internet when I plug into it.

Start with a factory reset and do setup over again.
If the DSL modem is working as router.. which will be the case for most people then the TC must be in bridge mode..
The Factory Reset.
Power down the TC.
Hold in reset. and keep holding it in. Be Gentle! It is a tiny surface mount switch with a plastic lever.. Attempting to push it out the other side of the TC will not make the switch turn on better.
(I fix TC and have several reset levers bent over and jammed or broken off).
Power on the TC.. remember with the reset held in.. this needs three arms.. a friend or power switch you can get to with your feet..
Keep holding in reset for about 10sec until the front LED flashes rapidly.
Release reset and wait .. the boot will be slow as it deletes previous setting.. only from router side and pulls out the factory defaults. No files are deleted on the hard disk.. but the name of the TC may change.

Is there any way to print wirelessly using Airport Extreme with an older printer (HP Laserjet 2100 TN) - no USB connection.

I have an older printer and currently use a Cisco wireless router with Network Magic software which allows me to leave my 30 pin printer connected to the desktop computer and share the printer with everything on the network. Does the Airport Extreme allow for this? I am just connecting one that I purchased but can only find documentation on connecting the printer via USB (which my old printer does not have). The printer is late 90's vintage, but its comercial grade and is still one of the best printers I have used so I want to keep it going for now.

I don't really know much about anything BUT with that said, I have PCs, I have an old commerical work horse HP laser printer that works with the Airport Express as a print server through my wireless router. But having problems with my wireless router, never my AE, now how to change from WEP to WPA etc.for a new wireless router. Maybe I need to look into the Extreme. Good luck

Printer connected to airport extreme very slow to print but when printer connected to iMac it is very quick to print

Early version of Airport Extreme station, 802.11g, saucer shaped model. iMac wirelessly connected to internet via space station and modem and Canon MX700 printer connected directly to Airport space station and also printing wirelessly. When try to print wirelessly, it takes about 1' 10" before printing starts. When the printer is connected directly to the computer, printing starts almost instantaneously. Because of internet disconnect which occurred occasionaly, reset the Airport station and so far no internet disconnect problem but the printer is slow to start printing. Printer software current but now have the slow printing problem. I think I have set up the printer properly but do not know why it takes so long to start printing but so quickly when the printer is connected directly to the computer.

I know my post may be late, anyway I hope I can help.
The one main reason I can think of that ethernet is preferable to USB is who wants to run 20 or more feet of USB to network a printer. The cost of the USB cable would make it cost prohibitive. The Airport or generally any router/hub is not always nearby the network output devices. However small office/home setups where the devices and router are within a small area, reachable by USB, then your point is valid.
In any case, don't expect any help from AppleCare to assist you with the settings on the Airport side, Apple doesn't support connecting printers via ethernet . . . pretty lame response. I am really disappointed with the response and very shortsighted.
On the printer side, you need to set a static IP for the printer . . . one within your internal LAN IP numbers.
Before proceeding you will need the MAC address or Machine Address or Ethernet Address, it should look be a series of that will look like 12:32:00:00:21:02. If you print out your printer config page you should be able to find it.
From the Airport app, choose the Internet tab(icon) on the top of the window, then choose DHCP then hit the + key under the DHCP Reservations window. This will open up a series of windows, provide a description of the device, reserve by Mac Address>click continue> type in the Mac Address in the window, and then the IP address that will be static or reserved for only the printer.>Click Done.>Click Update> Router will reboot.
You will need to go to Printer Setup to make sure you have a printer looking for that IP address, and will need to do this on each workstation.
My experience with other brand routers are that they don't require the Mac Address, which caused the delay in figuring this out on my own, (a few hours) but it is working now . . . WHEW!

Can no longer print to Canon printer connected to Airport Extreme

My Canon MP830 is connected to my Airport Extreme. Bonjour on my Windows 7 Acer laptop sees and installs the printer. I have been printing to the MP830 successfully from wired and wireless computers on my network this way for around a year. Today, I can no longer print to the MP830 unless I connect it directly to a USB port on my Acer. Bonjour can still see and install the MP830 when it's connected to the Airport Extreme, but I can't print to the MP830.
Any ideas?

Sounds a bit like a problem being discussed in this thread:

I suspect some kind of update is at fault. Like you, my printer/base station setup had been working fine until recently.

Print to USB Printer Connected to Airport Extreme Base Stati

Last year I purchased an Airport Extreme Base Station router, because at the time it was the only way to print wirelessly from my Mac to my HP USB printer.
I just bought my wife an iPad (3rd gen) and she is asking me how to print from her new iPad....and it's looking like it's not possible/practical. Something about the printer has to be "AirPrint" compatible. Is that true even if the printer is a USB printer connected to an Airport Extreme (not Express) router?
If so...then I totally regret wasting the money on such an expensive router!!!

Thanks, but I want to print directly via wifi with no PC or Mac in the middle. Looks like Collobos' solution requires that.
It looks like the most popular app for what I need is Print n Share. I'm going to try a different, free "Lite" app on the app store first and then may buy the Print n Share. Based on reviews, seems like it works perfectly for half the buyers and is a complete fail for the other half...

HT204053 i used the same apple id for my iphone and my husbands now all our contacts and such are on both phones how do i fix this. I dont need his contacts on my phone and the other way also. Should i create a different icloud account for his phone?

I used the same apple id for my iphone and my husbands now all our contacts and such are together. How do I undo this? Do i create him a different icloud account?

Yes, start with deleting your account on his device:
(Settings > iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > Your Account)
In the next step, create a new account on his device:
(Settings > iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > Your Account)
