IBM Thinkpad not printing to Airport Express.

Gurus, I recently purchased a new IBM Thinkpad laptop, I wanted to sent it up to print wirelessly to the existing Airport Express and it doesn't work. The Apple has always printed with no issues. I followed the setup instructions and followed troubleshooting instructions and still no go.
I added the printer (an Epson) it just doesn't print.
Any ideas?

What model number of AirPort Express?
What troubleshooting steps have you performed?

  • 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.

  • HP printer not printing via Airport Express

    I have a HP DeskJet D2330 printer that I am trying to use via Airport Express. The issue is that while the printer is detected in the Airport Utility, and is detected in System Preferences as a Bonjour printer, I can't print to it. Documents sent to the printer appear in the queue and then disappear but no pages come out of the printer.

    Hi - similar problem. Mine talked a little (test page would print about ~1 inch then grind to halt). No luck with escalated apple network tech. Problem (apple sez) is with HP. HP is quiet but has list of printers "likely" to work with Airport Extreme , but dated (indicates rendezvous with extreme vice bonjour). FYI, my printer works fine when USB direct to mac. Also Works fine from Mac or PC as ethernet-connected printer on home network (with Linksys/N Giga router) as network printer (also sets up as "bonjour" printer for what that is worth). Also problem exists with imac connected to Airport extreme via wireless or wired. So...problem seems to be pretty specific to talking via airport extreme USB. Havent tried to use ethernet yet, but need the slot for other equip.
    Anyone else having any luck?
    Also anyone have proven good printer hookup? I need photo quality printer.

  • I have an Ipad and Iphone but I don't have an Airprint, only a WIFI printer,my question is if I connect the wifi printer to Airport express, can I print from Ipad and Iphone ?

    I have an Ipad and Iphone but I don't have an Airprint at home but only a WIFI printer, my question is if I connect the wifi printer to Airport express, can I print from Ipad and Iphone ? Please help me if anyone knows about this.

    Unfortunately, connecting a non-AirPrint-enabled printer to an AirPort base station's USB port will not make it AirPrint-ready.
    You will need to use another solution, like Printopia, to be able to print to this printer from an iOS device.

  • My airport utility does not find my airport express device

    My airport utility does not find my airport express device

    In order for the AirPort Utility on your iOS device to find the Express, both need to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network. By default, the Express will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a network name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN. Can you iOS device find this network?

  • Wireless iBook not connecting to Airport Express

    As in previous discussions i've seen, all of a sudden my iBook which i have used for quite some time now without any major problems will not find my airport express wirelessly, i am using a router and the same connection for my desktop (hardwired) and the desktop works 100%, i've even replaced the cable from the router to my Airport Express and when I take the very same cable that goes from the router to the AE but plug it straight into my iBook it works 100%, but when plugged into the "AE" the iBook is not finding it, or actually it does come up in the list of available wireless ports (I live in new York city so there's a bunch on there at any given time) but it does find mine automatically as it used to, but when I try to connect to it when i find it in the list, it says "There was an error joning the AirPort network"... if i hit 'try again' several times it it will evntually (somrtimes after 3 tries othertimes after 30 tries)... but even after it says in the menue bar that I am connected with 100% strength, nither iTunes Air tunes finds the AE connection nor Safari (which says "You are not connected to the internet.")
    At the browsers suggestion i then go to the network diagnostics and run through the prompts, until it gets to the 'Select AirPort network" window and nothing shows up.
    Then i tried the AirPort Admin utility and it does not find my base station either.
    My connection to the internet is 100% without the AE, so obviously something is wrong with my iBook airport card or the AE itself.
    Yesterday I uplaoded the newest software 6.2 then reset the AE and actually it worked 2 sessions, then I got back on later in the evening and was having all the same problems...
    so I read on these discussions that going back to 6.1.1 was what was helping others, well so far it has made no difference here.
    that said the signal that it did find after trying again and again and that does show up in the pulldown signal menue drops off eventually... and all this while still not being able to connect to the internet or airtunes wirelessly. and again all the while my connection on my desktop (hardwired through the same router) works 100% (I have verizon DSL and it's pretty great.
    THE AIRPORT EXPRESS GREEN LIGHT IS ON as well.
    I have not done a 'hard 5 second re-set" of the AE becuae i thought it might be difficult to imput all the settings all over again, since i did not set it up myself originally... is this my only choice? can some one give me any other ideas? thank you.

    Glen,
    I feel your pain buddy - same issue here. I have a PG G4 running AE as well. I have internet through Comcast which is coming from the wall, into the modem, and then to the AE. I have faced similar problems as you at least twice in the past three days. Tonight I went to check my e-mail after reading for a couple hours and my drop-down showed a check next to my network, the AE status light was green, and it looked fine. However, when I went to check e-mail I was not connected and same thing with internet. I finally launched Airport Admin Utility and my base station did not show up in the source list - hmmmm?
    I am a little concerned about this myself because it is frustration. If you push the reset button on your base station while it's still plugged into power and hold it down for five seconds it will go through a "hard" reset (keep in mind this is not the same as a "factory default" reset). Have you done this before? It takes about 45 seconds. When done and the status light is back to green, you can join the Apple network _______ (some strange numbers) from your airport drop down and then launch Apt. Admin Utility. When you double click on your base station from the admin utility it will come up with a list of profiles. It will allow you to select your previous saved profile from a list. Click on your previous profile, click OK, and the AE will reset with your previous settings. This has gotten mine back up and running, but it's a littl disconcerting that it's happened so much
    Any other thoughts out there? Anyone else having these problems and have suggestions for troubleshooting?

  • I need to connect an Airport Express to an exisitng Wi-Fi Netgear Router. 1) My PC do not detect the Airport Express, 2) AE is flashing amber all the time... Please if someone can help?

    I need to connect an Airport Express to an exisitng Wi-Fi Netgear Router. 1) My PC do not detect the Airport Express, 2) AE is flashing amber all the time... Please if someone can help?

    Before I bought it I did the same question at the Apple Store, and they told me "You can extend your existing Wi-Fi Signal with Airport Express wireless...
    You cannot extend wireless from any brand except another apple router.. the store might have assumed you were using an apple main router. Most people who buy express buy them to extend an extreme or time capsule.
    You are correct .. in the setup documents it does say 5.6.1 is adequate to do the setup.. my bad.. !!

  • Can we print with a non-wifi printer via Airport Express?

  • Airport utility is not detecting my airport express

    it worked fine in the past. then I tried to switch to time capsule. I had problem with this. Probably I deleted in the airport utility programme my old airport express (pressing ignore).
    Now when I want to use again my airport express in order to have a wlan network the utility programme is not detecting my airport express. I already pressed the reset button at my airport express, but it still doesn't work.
    What can I do that the utility programme discovers again my airport express?

    Be sure you perform the reset correctly. While the Express is powered up, press and hold the reset button and keep it depressed continuously, for at least five seconds, until its LED flashes rapidly. After a moment or two, the LED will flash amber, slowly. The Express will then appear as an unconfigured base station in AirPort Utility.
    Depending on your version of Mac OS X the Express will appear in your AirPort menu as "Apple Network nnnnnn" or "New Airport Express..." Select it, and launch AirPort Utility to configure it.

  • TS1253 hi, i do have canon lbp2900 printer, does airport express support it ?

    Most printers are supported by the AirPort Express. There is no definitive list.

  • I can not configure my airport express

    Hi everyone, I'm currently in China and I bought and Airport express just to have a bit more signal in my dorm, however it's been 2 days and I can not configure my airport express everything seems find until the point that I choose join to an existing network and then choose my college and it get stuck for almost 20 min and after it says something about an error, then I switch off and it no longer recognized the airport it keeps looking for and airport base. Please what should I do?

    The AirPort Express cannot wirelessly "extend" or "repeat" the wireless signal from another router.....unless that other router is an Apple product.
    It is highly unliklely...but possible.....that the dorm would be using another Apple router to provide the wireless service.
    The Express is really designed to connect to an Ethernet wall port using a short Ethernet cable connection. When you do it this way, the Express can be set up to provide your own private wireless network in the room.

  • Airport utility can not find my airport express...

    Airport utility can not find my airport express...
    I was trying to connect a PC  (Windows XP) laptop to my wireless network via the airport express.
    I have a Mac with an airport that I use to get internet in my other room.  I am trying to get internet on the laptop too.
    I somehow manage to erase my network & now my airport utilities won't even scan/recognize my airport??
    ANY help would be appreciated, mac helpline wanted $59 to help & I live in a small northern community where they do not have anyone that will address a Mac issue!!
    Thanks for your time.

    Thank you SO MUCH Tesserax for taking the time to help!
    I powered everything down, slowly powered everything else up from the modem to the airport then the computer.  I then reset the airport & rescaned it through utilities.  I set up a new network & voila!  wireless up & running again.
    I am going to try to connect the laptop to the network now.....well, mabey tomorrow night, I've had enough for 1 evening!
    I will update....or possibly be begging for more help...we'll see!
    Thanks again for your time!

  • Upgraded to OS X 10.6.4, now lexmark E232 will not print thru airport

    Upgraded to 10.6.4. Updated airport software 7.4.2. Lexmark will not print thru Airport. Will print direct via USB.
    Airport utility suggests/shows that it's set up properly, Printer shows up in print & fax preferences. Only differences since yesterday are the software updates.

    Welcome to the discussion area, bseidenstat!
    This has worked for me in the same situation, but with a different printer. Can't say if it will work for you, but might be worth a try to reset the printing system if all else has failed (and you haven't already tried this)
    Make sure the printer is powered on and connected to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme
    Open System Preferences, then open Print & Fax
    Control-click or right-click in the printers box on the left, choose "Reset printing system" and click OK
    Click the + (plus) button to add your printer again
    Try to print
