I want to hook two printers up to my Airport Extreme.  Can I do this?  If so, how?

That's basically my question.  I have two HP printers and would like to use them both with my Airport extreme.  There is only one USB connection on the back of the airport.  Can I connect the second printer with an Ethernet cable?  This is unfamiliar territory to me, so any help is greatly appreciated.

If either or both have support for Ethernet then they can be connected by Ethernet cable.  If they are both USB, then use a USB hub or connect one directly to the computer's USB port.

  • HT2275 Do I need to choose "Share this printer on the network" for printers that are not connected directly to my MacBook Pro? I have two HP printers connected to an Airport Extreme (WiFi turned off). I connect by WiFi to another Airport Extreme w cable t

    I have three Airport Extreme (AE) routers in my home network.
    The main AE is set up for wifi access. The other two are connected by ethernet cables to the main AE. My MacBook Pro connects to the network wirelessly through the main AE. The AE in my office has two HP printers connected to it by ethernet cables. I have a Kodak All-in-one that is connected by USB to my MacBook Pro.
    I reset my printer connections on my MacBook Pro and had to add all the printers back to my printer list. I don't know if I understand what the checkbox "Share this printer on the network" in the Print & Fax System Preferences window is for. My guess is that I don't need to share printers unless they are connected to my MacBook Pro by USB, so I should uncheck the "Share this printer on the network" box for the two HP printers that are connected to the AE. I print to them over the network, but they're not connected directly to any computer. I thought if my MacBook Pro wasset to share them and was shutdown, the printers might not be available to my Mac mini or Dell PC, which connect by ethernet to the office AE (which has the two printers connected to it).
    What should I do?
    For printers connected directly to a Mac (or PC) by USB, check the "Share this printer on the network" box? In my Sharing Preferences, I check "Share Printers."
    For printers connected to the AE by ethernet, UNcheck the "Share this printer on the network" box on my Macs (& PCs?) when I add the printers to my printer list? In my Sharing Preferences, I UNcheck "Share Printers?"

    Question is - will the 2 networks (using auto channel negotiations) exist well in the same house or will there be interference?
    Things will be fine since the AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme will automatically search for a good wireless channel. If you assign a separate name for the wireless network, then devices will need to log in separately to this network. The extending device will need to be configured in Bridge Mode.
    My suggestion would be to configure what is known as a "roaming" network in your question #2. In this case, you would assign the same wireless network name, security and password settings to the extending device and configure it in Bridge Mode.
    The advantage to #2 is that you will be able to walk your laptop from a location near the Time Capsule and as you move close to the extending device, the laptop will automatically switch to pick up the stronger signal from the extending AirPort.
    You are actually creating a separate network in #2, so you have the advantage of maximum bandwidth for both the TC network and the AirPort network.
    Question - does the Airport Express have to be directly connected to the TC or can that connected be through a switched network?
    I'm assuming that you are asking about an Ethernet switch here, correct?  The AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme can connect to the Ethernet switch, or directly back to a LAN port on the Time Capsule, whichever is easier to setup.
    Question 2 - assuming I can connect the Airport Express to the TC over a switched network, will "extending" the network using the Ethernet network still reduce my overall wireless bandwidth?
    Connecting the remote device using Ethernet is by far the best way to extend a wireless network because it maintains maximum bandwidth on the network. This is the way that any good commercial network is designed.
    Post back if you need any tips to get things setup.

  • I want to have two folders of Finder so that I can easily drag and drop files from one folder to another

    I have been trying to reorganize my files. When in Manila I created a folder called Manila 2015 in Documents. I have the Mother folder Files 2015 with several subfolders like Finances, Personal, Tax etc. I want to have two finder folders simultaneously so that I can drag and drop files from the Manila 2015 folder to the various subfolders in the mother folder Files 2015. I am not able to open two windows of Finder on the desktop.

    I have since found out that a new finder window can be opened witht the short cut Command+N.
    Thanks anyway.

  • I have an older I Mac operating system 10.6.8 and want to upgrade.  I've been told that the only upgrade available for my machine is 10.7.5.  On what website can I find this upgrade or how do I find this upgrade on the Apple website?

    Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
    Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

    I am using CS3 and want to save a file as a pdf where someone can then edit the text. How can I do this please? Thank you

    You might be able to use the newest adobe reader program/application for that.
    You would have to save your pdf out of photoshop cs3 without any text and then add the text to the pdf in adobe reader.
    The text added in adobe reader can't be edited in photoshop, so the other people would have to adobe reader or acrobat to edit the text.

  • HT1553 I want to do a clean install of Mountain Lion. Can I do this without a DVD version of the OS, and can I restore only specific things like iPhoto and iTunes libraries from Time Machine backup.

    I want to do a clean install of Mountain Lion. Can I do this without a DVD version of the OS, and can I restore only specific things like iPhoto and iTunes libraries from Time Machine backup.

    Mountain Lion is only available as a download, so there is no DVD to purchase. What you can do is download ML and then stop it from installing as soon as it's on your drive. From there you can make your own bootable ML flash drive.
    When your purchase and download Mountain Lion, it will end up in the Applications folder and automatically want to install. Press Command+Q to stop the install and exit. The installer will remain on the hard drive.
    1) Right click on the installer and choose "Show Package Contents".
    2) A folder will open on the desktop. Drill down to Contents > SharedSupport and double click the disk image InstallESD.dmg to mount it on the desktop.
    3) From here you can either burn a DVD, or copy the contents to a flash drive. Personally, I would strongly suggest using an 8 GB flash drive formatted as Mac OS Extended. You will be able to boot to it in about 30 seconds instead of at least 10 minutes off of a DVD, and it will install MUCH faster. Make sure the flash drive is empty, or you've copied anything off it it you need as it will need to be erased.
    4) Don't just drag and drop the contents you see in the open disk image to the flash drive. It won't boot that way as it will be missing some hidden files. Open Disk Utility. You will something similar to this:
    5) To accomplish the above, highlight either the flash drive's single partition (as I did), or the item at the bottom (Mac OS X Install ESD), which is what you will see with the Lion disk image mounted. It doesn't matter which one you pick. You'll then have the option to select the Restore tab towards the upper right. Drag and drop from the left column into the Source and Destination fields as shown above. If you've already erased the flash drive, you can uncheck the box. Click the Restore button.
    You've just made your own bootable Mountain Lion USB Flash drive installer. Once you boot to the flash drive, run Disk Utility first to erase the drive you want Mountain Lion on, then continue with the install.
    As far as restoring your iPhone and iTunes libraries, I couldn't tell you. So I wouldn't do any of the above until someone else chimes in with a way to do that after a clean install of ML.

  • HT1296 I purchased a book on my IPAD, from IBOOKS, I want to sync it to my droid phone so I can read it any time. How do I sync them?

    I purchased a book from IBOOKS, on my IPAD &amp; I want to sync it to my DROID phone, so I can read it any time. How do I sync them?

    There is no convenient way to share I books with non iOS devices.   For the future, download the kindle app or the nook app.  Their libraries can be accessed by any device that has an app.
    In a perfect world, apple would make an I book reader available on the google market, but that has not happened.

  • Compatible Printers and Model for Airport Extreme

    Can some body know wich printers are compatible with airport extreme?

    Mr:Sax, Welcome to the discussion area!
    iFelix is starting a list.

  • I have a Windows PC with iTunes and an IPod Touch.  I would like to be able to sync music in two areas.  Would the Airport Extreme accomplish this?  And, if so, are there step-by-step instructions somewhere?

    I have a Windows PC with iTunes and an iPod Touch. I also have a Verizon MiFi.  I would like to be able to sync music to two locations.  Would the Airport Extreme accomplish this, and if so, are there step-by-step instructions somewhere?

    No, it will sync the ipod to the content of the MBA which presumably has nothing on it (= erasing content of iPod and replacing it with nothing).

    do not confuse moving your whole folder and library with moving just media files as in

    Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Start iTunes with the option key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

  • Can you hook two printers to the airport extreme

    Can I hook up multiple printers to any of the airport devices?  the middle one has more than one port - one for printer and one for hard drive.  Can I put a printer in each port?

    Hi - you can connect mutiple USB printers via a USB hub - you can also connect multiple printers to the ethernet ports on an Extreme or Time Capsule - you can do the same with an Express with an ethernet switch - you can also do it wirelessly

  • Wanting to hook two 24" monitors up to my macpro

    I have a 2009 quadcore macpro. I already own a 24" LED cinema display, i would like to hook up another one.. how can i do this?

    The cheapest solution is to buy an extra video card with Mini DP port. Like the GeForce 120.
    You could also look for a DVI to MiniDP converter, but these are expensive and 'active' (they need external power) devices.
    Try searching the forums for this question, it has been asked and answered many times. Links have been posted to these DVI-MiniDP converter devices as well.

  • Two printers linked to one airport express

    we link one HP printer to our airport express and everything is good. We now have one extra HP laser printer and is it possible to hook up two printers to one airport express?
    Could we just buy an USB hub and plug both printers in and is it going to work in this case?
    Thanks!!!

    No it only supports a single compatible USB printer.
