I CANNOT PRINT FROM MY IPHONE 4 TO MY BROTHER 8890DW PRINTER WHICH IS CONNECTED TO MY TIME CAPSULE/NETWORK VIA ETHERNET CABLE???

Why can’t I print from my iPhone 4 to my brother 8890dw printer which is connected to my time capsule/network via ethernet cable???  My iPhone does not even locate my printer,even though I have no problem printing from my Mac to the same printer.

Typing in all caps indicates shouting, is considered rude and is difficult to read.  Many simply do not read such posts.
You would need an airprint enabled printer or an app that proides printing function.
iOS: AirPrint 101

    I’m trying to follow HP’s instructions to add a driver for HP Color Laserjet CP 1215 which is connected to my Time Capsule. However, in System Preferences I can’t “add” the printer to the print queue because I don’t have a driver and you have to select a driver before the add button becomes active.  Therefore, the Mountain Lion software update doesn’t add driver software for the CP 1215 driver because I was unable to add the printer to the print queue. 

    This printer doesn't seem to be supported in ML:

    You could try the 1515 driver or use the Generic PostScript Printer PPD when adding the printer.
    Hope this helps.

  • Cannot print to wireless HP 7280 with Time Capsule

    I just put up Time Capsule. My windows and mac machines are able to hook into the wireless router portion with no problem. My main problem is that I cannot print to my HP7280 wireless printer. I had a belkin wireless router that I replaced with the TC. The belkin worked fine with the printer but TC does not. I am able to ping the printer and I have deleted and reinstalled the printer on the Mac with no problems. When I go to print it says that it is unable to connect to the printer and will retry in 30 seconds. I can see the items in the queue but they won't print.
    One other point. I have a Canon Mp830 hooked in through USB to the TC and it works fine.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Setup a typical HP AirPrint Printer
    1. Insert the CD into the CD drive of the computer, and then wait a few seconds for the software installer to start.
    2. Accept the installation agreements, and then click Next . It might take several minutes for your computer to install the printer software.
    3. You will be asked to connect printer to computer with USB cable
    4. You will be ask how you want to connect to printer, select Network (Ethernet/Wireless) and then click Next.
    5. Setup will access computer and router for wireless settings.
    6. Setup will ask if you want to use wireless settings (SSID and Password) to setup printer. Select Yes and press Next.
    7. Setup will then send wireless settings to printer.
    8. Once printer is setup, you will be ask to remove USB cable.
    9. The printer is now ready for AirPrint.

  • I have a movie site app banner ad that I cannot delete from my IPhone 5 Safari page.  I appears every time I open Safari.  Any suggestions.

    I have a movie site banner ad that I cannot delete from my IPhone 5 Safari page.  It appears every time I open Safari.  How can I delete it?

    You do not have a virus.  Sounds like you are just being bitten by Safari's desire to reopen all windows - and reconnect to all sites that were open in those windows - in Mac OS X 10.7.  I believe that if you hold down option (or is it shift?) while opening Safari that it will not try to reload those pages.

  • How to print from windows 7 pc on time capsule network?

    I added a new pc with windows 7 on my time capsule network.  Existing network includes 2 macbook pros and 1 mac mini with boot camp and windows xp.  I have been using the windows xp with bootcamp on the mac mini and printing from it for a couple years.  We don't share files between the notebooks and mac mini, just internet access and printing.  My bootcamp side got too full which is why I added the new windows pc (yuk) for my windows programs but I cannot figure out how to get the windows pc to recognize my printer connected to airport time capsule.  I installed the printer software and drivers and connected it with usb and printed but when I connect the printer back to time capsule the pc doesn't see it.  Also, I downloaded bonjour from apple site but still no go.  Any help is appreciated.  As you can probably tell, I only know enough to be dangerous.  That's why I love my Macs, they just work!

    The problem is you loaded the printer directly and now do not have it plugged in.. so delete the printer in the control panel.. then setup the printer again.. this time connect to it as network printer. The bonjour should make it available as a network resource..
    Tell me if you still run into trouble doing that. You may need to load the IP of the TC manually..
    Window7 has higher security level than xp.. and that can sometimes also cause issues.
    Are you using SMB compliant names for the TC, wireless and printer??
    Can the windows 7 computer get internet via the TC? Can you ping it?
    Look up how to reduce the security level in windows to match xp.. I don't remember the details but you have to do some nifty footwork.

  • Cannot connect devices using Extend Network via Ethernet

    Hi
    I have been going nuts with this issue, and cannot seem to find any solutions. PLEASE HELP!
    I have an Airport Extreme (pretty new and all up to date) connected to my modem. Everything works perfectly. The wi-fi is great, all devices can connect without any issues so nothing is wrong here. The Airport extreme is dishing out the IP addresses etc. The Airport extreme is in the lounge.
    I purchased a new airport express yesterday. I put it in my study, far away from the lounge. I connected the airport extreme to the airport express using an ethernet cable. I plugged it in, and set it up to extend the wireless network via ethernet. I.e. it is set up in bridged mode and set up to 'create a wireless network' with identical name password etc. Everything is good. It reboots and the light is green. in the Airport utility everything shows up correctly.
    Here is the problem., The second that any device (lets say iphone) moves from the lounge to the study, and tries to 'jump' to the stronger network provided by the express, it kills the ENTIRE network. The following happens:
    1. The iphone loses wi-fi signal immediately. If I go into wi-fi settings, it sees my netwrok with FULL strength, but just remains in the 'spinning ball' state trying to connect. Seems to me that the express is unable to hand out an IP address or something.
    2. If i open the airport utility on my Imac (in the study), the airport extreme has a yellow warning light and cannot be found via ethernet OR wi-fi. (The Imac is also Hard Wired from the Airport extreme in the lounge).
    THe whole system requires a re-boot in order to work again.
    If I re-boot the system, and leave a device near the airport express, it immediately receives signal, gets an IP address, and has an internet connection. Going back to the lounge causes no issues, it doesnt drop signal and still connects to the internet via the extreme. But as soon as I walk back into the study again - BOOM, everything drops.
    I only purchased the new express because i was having EXACTLY the same issue with an older Airport extreme. No matter what I do, it just wont work via ethernet. I have tried all manner of settings. The ONLY setting that seems to work is to extend the wi-fi network. However, the rooms are too far apart, and this will require a third station in the middle, which i want to avoid (by the time the wifi network is extended across 3 decvices it is too slow).

    Can I use airport express to make my pc pick up the wifi by plugging the pc into the ethernet socket?
    Yes. But, it is the AirPort Express that would "pick up the wifi". Then, you would connect an Ethernet cable from the AirPort Express to the PC.
    Configure the AirPort Express to "Join a wireless network" and click the option to "Enable Ethernet clients" during the setup to activate the Ethernet port on the device.
    I would also plug a printer (currently connected to the pc) into the usb, so it can become a shared printer.
    There is a good chance that your printer will work connected this way, but you won't really know until you try.

  • How IPAD use the Printer which connected with the Time Capsule

    I connnected a printer to time capsule. And I can use the printer in Windows. But I can't use it on IPAD and IPHONE.
    So are there any solutions?

    iOS devices can only print directly to AirPrint printers. Wireless printers or printers connected to a Time Capsule are not necessarily AirPrint capable.
    To print directly from an iPad / iPhone you will need an AirPrint compatible printer or another device to act as a print server. That can be a Mac computer running Printopia ($19.95 with free trial) or handyPrint (donation - supported). The Mac must be "on" but may be asleep for them to work. Equivalent PC options exist but you're on your own finding them.
    You can also buy this standalone print server:
    http://www.lantronix.com/it-management/xprintserver/xprintserver.html
    The xPrintServer Home Edition will support a directly connected USB printer. The Network Edition will support any network printer.
    These options enable you to use any printer available to your Mac, even older ones that may predate AirPrint by decades.
    Otherwise you will need to buy an AirPrint printer or multifunction device.

  • WiFi Printer not being found on AirPort Time Capsule

    Hi, I have an older HP Officejet 6500 that works fine via WiFi.  I recently bought an Airport Time Capsule for Time Machine backups and a better wireless router (version is 7.7.3).
    Suddenly, my WiFi HP printer, which is connected to the Airport Wireless Router, can't be found by any of my macs, iPhones, or iPads.  I had no problem printing from any of these devices when the printer was connected to my previous wireless router.
    I've searched and searched this evening for help and can't find any solutions.  I've tried resetting, checking for firmware upgrades, unplugging the printer and router.  No luck so far.
    Thanks in advance for your help!
    Desperate in Texas!!!

    I suggest deleting your existing printer from System Preferences > Printers & Scanners, and adding it again. Better yet is to "reset the printing system" as described here: Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system
    After you do that you will need to add the printer again according to the instructions here:

    I have an HP LaserJet 8150N that I use for my work and I have had this printer for ever and it is one heck of a work horse! I am trying to get it connected via ethernet cable directly to my iMac. I always had this printer connected via a network so I don't know if I am able to connect directly with a cable since it is a network printer. I have tried to reconfigure the printer using the JetDirect menu giving it a new IP address but still no luck. If anyone could help me through this issue I would appreciate it.

    Thanks for responding.
    When does clicking on "Connect As" happen in the process above?
    After step six? Seven?
    After the connection has failed?
    Is this the FInder window that shows the icon of the computer you want to copy the file from?
    You should see "Connect As" in the Finder near the top right of the window as shown below:

    You can connect them via ethernet cable. It will work fine.
    No special software needed on either side.

  • Advice to extend range from Time Capsule - wireless and ethernet with Airport Express and Airport Extreme

    Current wireless network is Time Capsule (connected to a Cisco router, 1GB switch to servers and printer 1) to Airport Express (wireless) and to Airport Extreme (wireless). Distance means poor signal at the Extreme which has 2 printers (ethernet cables) and an iMac (wireless)
    Solution is to connect the Extreme to the Time Capsule via Cat 6 ethernet cable
    How do I configure the TC and the Extreme?
    I will keep the Express for a wireless extension to the TC 

    Wired Ethernet from the TC to the AirPort Extreme will result in much better performance.  It sounds as if you are not configuring the AirPort Extreme correctly.
    Please try the following steps carefully:
    Unplug the Ethernet cable from the AirPort Exteme if it is not already unplugged. With the AirPort Extreme powered on, hold in the reset button on the Extreme for 10 seconds and release. Allow a full minute for the Extreme to restart
    Connect the Ethernet cable to the WAN "O" port on the Extreme.
    Click the AirPort icon at the top of the Mac's screen and wait a few seconds for a listing of New AirPort Base Station to appear. Just below that, click on AirPort Extreme.
    The example below displays an AirPort Express. You will see AirPort Extreme.
    AirPort Setup will open up automatically and take a minute to analyze the network, then announce that the Extreme will be configured to extend the Time Capsule network.
    Enter a device name that you want to use for the Exterme and click Next
    Wait a minute while AirPort Setup configures everything for you. When you see the message of Setup Complete, click Done.
    That's it.  Pretty simple.  Things should be working fine now.
