IBook, Gateway Laptop, 2 epson printers, existing wireless, need more?

I have an iBook G4 with an Airport Card, my wife has a Gateway Solo with a wireless card. We have an existing wireless internet connection. We have two Epson printers that we would like to be able to print to wirelessly.
I'm assuming that I need to connect both printers to a wireless router, and I assume it may be another router and not the one we're using for internet. What do I need to do to get both of us to be able to print wirelessly to either printer from our laptops?
Would appreciate some help. Thanks!

  • IBook, Gateway Laptop and 2 printers, how to set up wireless printing?

    I have an iBook G4 with an Airport Card, my wife has a Gateway Solo with a wireless card. We have an existing wireless internet connection. We have two Epson printers that we would like to be able to print to wirelessly.
    I'm assuming that I need to connect both printers to a wireless router, and I assume it may be another router and not the one we're using for internet. What do I need to do to get both of us to be able to print wirelessly to either printer from our laptops?

    Well I spent a lot of trial and error getting this to work, however I use the Airport Extreme (white UFO thing) router from apple. From the router that is transmitting your wireless connection, there should be some way to hook up your printer(s) via ethernet cables. If your printers are too far away from the router, you may have to purchase an additional router. My Airport extreme can only utilize one printer at once (yours may be able to have multiple peripherals connected to it). In order to use two, I would have to pruchase an additional airport transmitter (like an Airport Express) and have the 2nd printer wired to that.
    The only hangup I had was figuring out why my windows computers didn't see the wireless printer. I needed to have installed Bonjour (Apple's peripheral communication software) on all the computers on the network and it can be downloaded on Apple's support web page. Depending on your router, you may not need to.
    Your router, whatever it may be, should work in a similar fashion. Consult your router's manual for the proper connection methods/possibilities. Hope this info helps you some.

  • Wireless printing problems with 10.5.4 and Epson printers

    Anyone else know about problems with Epson printers such as this no longer functioning wirelessly with bonjour once upgrade to 10.5.4? It appears they are not supporting this with a new driver yet?
    At this time, Epson says they have no drivers for 10.5 and this specific printer but wondered if there are more general problems with 10.5.4 and bonjour with Epson or others?
    Thanks

    MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.5.4) Using Epson CX11-NF printer

    I have 5 computers-G4 PowerPC, two G4 12" laptops, G5 Mac Pro dual, Macbook Pro--with the older computers all running 10.4.11, the new ones 10.5.4. Until Friday, I was able to print with all of them to an Epson Stylus Photo R200 via Airport Extreme. After installing software for my new G3 iPhone on the G5 Mac Pro the printer connections on all the computers stopped working. I have so far been able to get the G4 Power PC to print, but none of the others. I have tried Bonjour, Gimp-print v.5.0.0-beta 2, cleared all the print drivers and restarted, and everything else I have been able to find on both Epson and Apple sites. The Printer Set Utility described by Epson does not exist in Leopard machines, and doesn't work for the older laptops. As soon as I select one of the printers in the "selected printer in print dialogue box" it grays out. I have set up sharing on the G4Power PC that does print, but it is not accessible--it shows up but is grayed out. There is a diamond next to the printers in the Print dialogue box in applications' menus, but it still doesn't work. It either cannot make the connection, cannot find the printer, or keeps spinning with the message that it is finishing printing (but it hasn't even started.) Again, everything worked fine until the new iPhone was added to the mix. My old iPhone didn't cause any problems. This is really a problem. Any suggestions welcome.

  • Need wireless printing for Epson printers

    I have 3 Epson printers.
    An R380 direct printing via USB, an R380 wireless via an Airport Express and an Epson Artisan 810 wireless via my Airport Extreme. The 810 also has bluetooth capabilities.
    _So I have three avenues to print wireless:_
    Through the Airport Extreme
    Through the Airport Express
    Through the Bluetooth capable Epson 810
    ... BUT the iPad provides no way for printing.
    When I purchased the device I assumed that printing was a given.
    The newly announced beta IOS4.2 only allows printing on HP printers...WHY?
    There are other printer manufactures out there.
    I chose Epson because it allows for printing on DVD’s and CD’s

    I think only certain HP printers will have a direct print ... but that any printer on the same network as your iPad will work. From the AirPrint press release:
    "AirPrint automatically finds printers on local networks and can print text, photos and graphics to them wirelessly over Wi-Fi without the need to install drivers or download software. HP’s existing and upcoming ePrint enabled printers will be the first to support printing direct from iOS devices... iPad, iPhone and iPod touch users can simply tap to print their documents or photos wirelessly to an HP ePrint printer or to a printer shared on a Mac or PC.”
    So if your Epson is on a network, you can print to it.

  • I have a new ipad2, also an ipad1, with a gateway laptop. I have wireless router with windstream. Able to access my wireless connection on ipad1 and laptop, but can't on ipad2. Will say connected, but get message saying not connected to internet on Safari

    I got an ipad 2 today. Already have an ipad 1 and gateway laptop. Have wireless internet with windstream. I have internet connection on ipad 1 and laptop, but can't connect to internet on ipad2. It says i'm connected, but when accessing Safari, it says not connected to internet. Tried unplugging router and resetting already, still not working. Thanks for the help.

    Thank you for your response.
    I did try turning off the firewall, and reducing all the security levels to a minimum (under Control Panel>Internet Options). Also, I'm using a direct cable from my m/c to the Airport Extreme. But nothing helps. Due to the usage pattern in my family, using the MacBook for configuring the network is not optimal, hence my struggle to do it on my Windows desktop. But if that is the only way to go I suppose I'll have to.
    Subsequent to posting my query, I discovered that Apple had not singled me out, and many others with a Win OS face this problem, too. I would have thought Apple would do a proper job of testing before putting up the Windows version of Airport Utlity on their site.
    But thanks again. Much appreciate it.

  • Can't get wireless connection to Gateway laptop

    My wife has a school-district issued Gateway laptop- state of the art. We can't get connected to the internet at home using our new airport express. The imac gets on fine, and the gateway gets on if we simply plug the modem into the computer, but nothing wirelessly. It's works for her at her job, it works in coffee shops. Her tech person told her it's equiped to work at home with adding any software, but we get nothing. Something we're supposed to tweak?

  • HT1178 How do I set-up my Time Capsule to work with my existing Wireless Router?

    The existing  wireless router is my connection to the Internet and I would like to keep it that way. I really want the TC to fuction as an external Hard Drive/Server, Backup Disc! The TC is where all my Music and Photos are located together with my Backups!
    I have tried different configurations and I get it to work for a wile, but after a few minutes it will disappear from my Air Port Utility, a rescan will not bring it back, but if I unplug and then plug it back in it will reappear. However if the TC shows in Air Port Utility or not the TC still shows up on my Desktop.
    What Settings should I use in Air Port Utility, Should the Ethernet Cable be plugged into Ethernet or LAN Port?
    My Current Settings are:
    Ethernet Cable: Connected to the ETHERNET PORT
    AirPor Tab:
    Wireless Mode: OFF
    Connect Using: ETHERNET
    Internet Tab: Internet Connection
    Connect Using: ETHERNET
    Connection Sharing: OFF (BRIDGE MODE)
    TCP/IP:
    Configure IPv4: USING DHCP

    I am Running OS 10.5.8 on a PowerBook G4.
    Below you will see the Log (IP Address, AirPort ID, Eternet ID, Subnet Mask, Router Address, DNS Server Info has been removed).
    I had the TC was originally set-up connected to a DLS Modem, all worked fine Backups over TM all was ok, but then the Modem died. (I upgraded to a Wireless Router). I did have it set up, but I nolonger know the settings, I wanted to do a backup with TM, which had not been done for a long time (6 months)
    I tried to backup, but either it was not working or was taking sooooo long, that I decided to do the Backup over Ethernet (still took the hole day for 8.5 GB). I had read that I nedded to chang my setting to be able to Backup with Ethernet. Did not Save the previous settings hence my problem!

  • How do I use a 2nd Airport Extreme plugged into an Ethernet Wall Plug to join an existing wireless network to give me a better signal upstairs?

    I have a 5th generation Airport Extreme giving me a great wireless signal on the 1st floor of my house. However the signal upstairs is weak. So I purchased another 5th generation Airport Extreme that I would like to plug into an ethernet wall plug upstairs. I would then like to have the upstairs Airport Extreme join the same network thus giving me a good wirelss signal upstairs. I have a MacBook Pro running OS 10.7.4. Can somebody give me step-by-step directions to set up the upstairs Airport Extreme?

    I assume that the new AirPort Extreme is still in its original factory default settings.
    Before you connect the AirPort Extreme, please connect a laptop to the Ethernet cable that will be used for the connection and turn off the wireless on the laptop. Make sure that you can can connect to the Internet before you begin to configure the AirPort Extreme.
    Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the laptop and connect it to the WAN "O" port on the upstairs AirPort Extreme and power it up.
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility 6.1
    Look in the upper left hand corner of the screen for a tab or box that reads "Other AirPort Base Stations (1)"
    Click on that box,then click on the name AirPort Extreme xxxxxx
    Wait a moment while AirPort Utility analyzes the network and then displays a message that the AirPort Extreme will be configured to extend your existing wireless network.
    Enter a Base Station (device) name for the AirPort Extreme (and a device password if prompted), then click Next.
    Wait another minute or two until AirPort Utility notifies you that the AirPort Extreme has been Set Up.
    That's it.

  • Asus laptop will no longer connect wirelessly to HP printer

    My Asus laptop was connected to my HP PhotoSmart 7420 printer, wirelessly with no issues. In the last month, I upgraded my Comcast internet service to the fastest speed Comcast has available. In addition, I replaced my router ( Linksys Model: WRT1900AC) & range extender (NetGear Universal Dual Band Wi-Fi Range Extender, 4-port Wi-Fi Adapter). Every WiFi related item in my home works much better with the exception of the printer. On my laptop, I removed the HP printer and asked the laptop to search for it to re-install; the laptop indicates "no printers available"? Even my desktop PC sends error messages indicating that the "scan to computer" feature no longer works when, in fact, it does work?
    Help!

    Hi @TSimo,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I wasn't able to find much on a Photosmart 7420, did you perhaps mean Photosmart 7520?
    If that is correct, this may just be a case of needing to reconnect the printer to the wireless network again due to the upgraded router and extender
    To do this, please restore the network defaults on the printer (press the wrench on the printer's touch screen, select Wireless, then select Restore Network Defaults, should be the last option) and once that completes go back to the same Wireless menu on the printer and run the Wireless Setup Wizard on the printer. This will update the connection on the printer itself.
    After this completes you will need to remove the driver and re-add it on the computer. How this is done depends on the operating system, so if you're not sure how to remove the driver and re-add it, please let me know which operating system you use and I will get you some instructions
    Hope to hear from you soon!

  • Not all laptops in household connect to wireless printer on AEBS

    I have the latest Airport Extreme Base Station (n), and an HP Deskjet 5900 printer connected to it's USB port. The AEBS is setup to Share the printer wirelessly. I've also made this option available through the main desktop (Mac Pro) that is connected directly to the AEBS.
    I have a MacBook (intel) connected wirelessly to my network. I was able to connect to the "Add" the HP to my list of printers and successfully print to it wirelessly.
    Unfortunately, our MacBookPro that is also connected wirelessly can not locate the printer.
    Some facts:
    -Both laptops are running 10.5.8
    -Both have the latest HP Printer Drivers
    -Both are running admin accounts, so we should be able to make any necessary changes to printers, prefs, etc.
    Couple of things to note:
    When hitting "Add" on the MacBook, I get an extensive list of connection options, e.g. "Default", "Fax", "IP", "Apple Talk", etc... the HP Deskjet is connected via Bonjour.
    When hitting "Add" on the MacBookPro, all I get is one two column window with the option "Local Zone" at the left, nothing on the right hand side, and the fields "Name, Location, and Print Using" below... all of which are not selectable.
    We are able to print to a hardwired USB printer connected to the MacBookPro, but that's about it.
    The MacBookPro does have Parallels installed, so I don't know if that is some how changing the behavior of this panel, but we aren't running it at this time, since this is being setup in the Mac OS side.
    Hopefully that is enough information to give a clearer picture. I'm hoping it's a setting somewhere that for whatever reason was inadvertently turned off.
    Thanks!

    A couple things to keep in mind with what you are trying to do: the AirPort card was originally intended to allow the computer or laptop to connect to a wireless base station, such as a router, AirPort Extreme, etc. It just so happens that setup properly they allow the computer to work as a wireless connection point to the internet for another device. They are not intended to provide the full functionality of a router, however.
    While a number of people using the forums have discussed connecting devices like iPads to the internet via their iMacs and MacBook Pros, using the computer to provide internet access and at the same time work in reverse by providing wireless printing could end up causing signal clashes and conflicts.
    You would be far better off installing a router to provide the functions you are describing. Or keep very tight controls on what device is doing what and not over burdening the AirPort card.

  • Can't connect AE to existing wireless network

    I can't get my AE to connect to my existing wireless network. I saw the other thread on this and followed those steps, but it didn't work. Here's what I did:
    1. Connected the AE to my D-Link DIR-655 wireless router via ethernet cable.
    2. Opened Airport Utility and established a connection to the AE.
    3. Renamed the AE and entered a password.
    4. In the "wireless" tab, I selected "join existing network", chose my wireless network, selected the security type (WPA Personal) and entered the password.
    5. In the "music" tab, I named the speakers and entered a password.
    So far so good. I clicked "update" and the AE restarted. After a while I received an error message informing me that the base station could no longer be detected. According to the directions posted in the other thread, this is actually supposed to be a sign that the AE is now in client mode and all is well.
    I unplugged the ethernet cable from the AE and router and then went to the other room. I plugged the AE into the speakers and then plugged the AE into the wall.
    However, instead of a green light all I have is a flashing amber light, even after several minutes. No connection.
    I reset the AE and repeated the steps above, to no avail. Still a flashing amber light.
    Any ideas?

    I'm having a similar issue. My AE is connected directly to a Netgear WGR614v4 router, and I run through all the steps you mentioned. When I choose to update the settings to the AE, I get the same "error" you mentioned about the AE not being found, and I also took that as a sign that I'm in client mode. I moved the AE to the other room, connected my mini cable to the stereo, then plugged the AE back into the wall. The AE runs through its setup and eventually gets a solid green light, so I'm thinking all is well.
    The problem is that I then log back into the AirPort Utility on my laptop and the AE is not shown in the top left like it should be. After doing a bit of reading, I've figured out that I can manually find it by going to File>Configure Other and entering the AE's IP address and password. Then I get a window showing the details of the AE, its name, network, encryption, etc. However, if I close this window, it still doesn't show up in the main AirPort Utility screen and I'm not sure how to configure it for AirTunes.
    Hoping that's just a bug with the AirPort Utility software, I open up iTunes to see if I can locate it there. I know I should see a pulldown menu at the bottom of iTunes that gives me an option for AE as my audio output method, but the menu is not there. Now I'm completely stuck.
    At this point I decide to start from scratch, so I do a Factory Default reset by pressing down the reset button on the AE as I plug it into the wall. Now it is supposedly reset, so I plug it back into my router, then it runs through a setup sequence and lights up solid green before I've even done anything. It shows up in AirPort Utility with a default base station ID, but my computer won't connect to it at all. I'm hoping I can try to reset it again this evening and at least get back to the normal setup screen, but I'm really not sure what I could do differently at this point.
    This is frustrating and I'm on the verge of giving up, but I REALLY want this to work out.

  • Do you have to set up AE inBridge mode with existing wireless modem router?

    Hi
    I've just bought the AE and Apple TV. My plan was to basically use my existing Netgear wireless modem router for the internet only and set up the AE as the wireless router. I also bought the AE to boost the strength, print wirelessly and I thought it might work better with the Apple TV. The other things I use on my home network are ipad, iphone 4, HP DV6 Notebook, Toshiba Notebook and PS3.
    I've plugged the Netgear into the AE with an Ethernet cable. I initially started with the "replace existing access point with AE", as I thought I was replacing the Netgear with the AE. This option left me with internet working and a blinking amber light on the AE.
    I then did a hard reset and started again. I diabled the wireless on my old modem/router and chose the "create wireless network" option in airport utility. I think it worked because I have internet and a green light but to be honest I have no idea what I did. I know it's in bridge mode but only because I didn't know how to set up the other options.
    Also, I've ended up with three networks out of this process. The default network for the AE (but it has one of those yellow error icons next to it in the available network list), the one I set up and a 5ghz of the one I set up. Neither the default network of the 5ghz network show up in the Internet and Networking control panel, which is where I delete them. I just thought this was odd.
    What I'd like to know:
    Do you have to set it up in bridge mode when you have an existing wireless modem/router?
    If not, is there any benefit to setting the AE up as the router instead of using the Netgear?
    If I create a new network should the default network still be showing up in my list of available networks or have I done something wrong?
    If I have a 5ghz network, does that mean that the other network I created is only 2.4ghz or is it still dual band?
    Considering the devices I have would it be beneficial for me to have a 5ghz network for certain devices only like the Apple TV?
    As you can probably tell I have no idea what I am doing. I'm basically just clicking stuff and seeing if it works.
    Any help/advice is much appreciated
    Thanks
    Jo

    Hello Jo Sugden. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Do you have to set it up in bridge mode when you have an existing wireless modem/router?
    You don't have to but, most likely, it will be the best configuration choice when you have the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) connected to your main Internet router by Ethernet. In this configuration, all NAT & DHCP services will continue to be provided by the Netgear router. This will allow all wired or wireless clients connected to the AEBSn to get their IP address (and be on the same subnet) from the Netgear ... and this would allow clients connected to either router to "see" each other.
    If not, is there any benefit to setting the AE up as the router instead of using the Netgear?
    If, for some reason, you wanted to create a separate subnet, configuring the AEBSn as a router would allow for this.
    If I create a new network should the default network still be showing up in my list of available networks or have I done something wrong?
    By default, your AEBSn will create two wireless networks with the same Network Name; one broadcasting in the 5 GHz band, and the other in the 2.4 GHz band. The default name for both of these will be Apple Network NNNNNN. You have the option, within the AirPort Utility, to change the names of each network.
    When connected by Ethernet, and in bridge mode, it would be beneficial to name your AEBSn's networks the same as that provided by the Netgear. This would create what is called a "roaming" network ... where you literally can roam with a laptop from one router to the other and still be on the "same" network. This also is a way to extend the wireless range of the Netgear.
    If I have a 5ghz network, does that mean that the other network I created is only 2.4ghz or is it still dual band?
    As a minimum, you will have three wireless networks: one provided by the Netgear and two provided by the AEBSn. By giving them all the same Network Name, they will appear as one to any wireless client. However, they will all show up in a utility like iStumbler or AirRadar.
    Considering the devices I have would it be beneficial for me to have a 5ghz network for certain devices only like the Apple TV?
    Yes. Operating a wireless network in the 802.11n Radio Mode in the 5 GHz Radio Band offers the best potential bandwidth ... around 300+ Mbps. The only real drawback of the higher frequency band is that the signal strength drops off more rapidly with distance than in the lower frequency band. Also higher frequencies cannot penetrate objects (like walls) as well.
    Ideally, you would want to place your Apple TV or other streaming devices in the same room as the 5 GHz network ... or connect them to the router by Ethernet.

  • Setting up Time Capsule for backup only on existing wireless network

    I have a wireless network already set up with a NetGear wireless router. Cable plugs into router, router connected via ethernet cable to my Power Mac G5 desktop, plus 2 PC laptops in the house also connect wirelessly to the home network via this router.
    I want to set up Time Capsule as an external hard drive to back up all three computers -- I don't necessarily need to use it as a wireless router although i'm not opposed to that if it's easier to do it that way.
    When i try to set it up using AirPort utility, i get the amber flashing light. Airport utility is able to discover the device, and then always asks if it's OK to switch networks. I've tried both "switch" and "don't switch"; either way when i try to set it up, AirPort utility stalls out on "Reading Time Capsule Configuration"; eventually giving me the error msg: "Base Station Error: AirPort Utility was unable to find your Apple wireless device."
    All i want to do is mount it as an external hard drive so i can use Time Machine for backup, and be able to use it to also back up the PC laptops wirelessly. I need help in the following three areas:
    1. How should I be physically connecting my devices if i want to do this? Which cables go in which ports? There is only one ethernet port on the back of my G5. The G5 can connect to the router either wirelessly OR via ethernet cable. I've tried G5-->Time Capsule-->Router, G5-->Router-->Time Capsule, Router-->G5 PLUS Router-->Time Capsule, and I've tried every variation on the regular ethernet and WAN ports. What's the right way to do this.
    2. If i'm not setting up the TC as a Wireless Router, is AirPort utility even the right tool for setting it up? it seems to be confused by the two wireless networks and won't let me get past that point. Am I supposed to click "Switch" when it asks me to switch networks? Is there a way to just mount it as an external drive and bypass the AirPort utility setup entirely?
    3. Once i get it set up so it's visible as an external drive and usable for Time Machine backup, how do i then make it available to the other PCs on the network so they can back up to it also?
    Thanks for your help.

    sarah,
    You already have an existing wireless network.
    You do not need to plug the Time Capsule into anything except power.
    Set the Time Capsule to "Join an existing wireless network"...
    That is all you need to do.
    Then all the computers should see the Time Capsule.
    If you can't see "Join an existing wireless network" in the choices, hold down on the option key and then click on the choices.
    Give that a try.

    Have you tried to open System Preferences, then Print & Scan and then try to Add + a printer?
    I have an Epson RX580 and am using OS X 10.8.2 and it is working as a (Bonjour) printer.  My Epson RX580 is plugged into my AirPort Extreme and I can print over my wireless network to the RX580.  However, I do not see any Scan options with this setup.
    Anyone know anything about getting the scanning portion of the RX580 to work over the network like the printing function does with my Airport Extreme?  Or can I not "share" a scanner over the USB port on the Airport Extreme?  I know, kind on topic/off topic - but I think it fits under OS questions better. 
    Thanks for your advice!
