If I setup a wireless network can I use Airprint on a printer that is NOT Airprint enabled?
The reason for my question is simple, my business has 20 printers and none of them are "airprint" enabled nor do they need replacing. My reps print order forms from their vans using Canon IP or IP100 and outdated handheld devices, (these devices are bluetooth enabled and we've never had a problem printing) I want to upgrade to ipads. I'm starting to feel this wont be possible unless I buy new printers.
Does anyone know if I can buy a cheap wireless router, create a wireless network then connect my ipad to any printer, airprint enabled or not??
Set up a wireless network and connect the lantronix box wired to the router.

Is it possible?? - Will HP ePrint talk to a local networked HP printer that is NOT ePrint enabled?
Hello,
I'm looking for help with configuring HP ePrint Home and Bus (Android)
System:
Netgear WNDR3400 router
Google Nexus 10 Tablet
Custom built PC- Windows XP Pro
HP Photosmart C5250 (connected to an IOGear USB Printserver)
Both my main desktop PC and my laptop can print to the HP Photosmart C5200 thru the USB print server, it is working fine.
QUESTION:
How do I configure HP ePrint home and Bus on my Google tablet to print to my networked HP printer?
I cannot get the HP ePrint app to SEE my networked printer!
Thanks,
Unit_10
Please disregard any instructions for setting up WAN ePrinting. Entirely unnecessary,The printer must be on the network directly for the app to see it. Using a USB print server is likely where your issue is occuring. If you had a printer that supported wireless or ethernet, it would be seen via the app.

HT1947 Lost Apple TV remote, how can I use app if the home sharing is not already enabled?
I lost my Apple TV remote so I can't change the settings on the tv. Is there a way to use the remote app on my ipad without having the actual hardware remote to program the tv?
The remote app requires home sharing to be enabled and both to be on the same network. Since that's not the case you will have to purchase a new remote.

I have a HP C4580 wireless printer. It is not AirPrint capable. I now do all my work on iPad via pages. I have an HP App HP home and biz, it finds my printer no problems and allows me to print photos with ease. However pages still cannot find a printer. Any thoughts?
I had a related problem, now solved. But this discussion is relevant to me. Is there a difference between ePrint and ePrint for Home and Biz? On my iPad, I installed what I believe is just ePrint -- got it from Apple Apps or iTunes store -- was free. I am able to print on my HP Photosmart 6180 using that app. Is there a "better" HP app that should have on my iPad? And how can I find out just what i have (including the version). ePrint is not listed with other the apps on my iPad "settings" page.

How do we print from our iphone or ipad? Printer is not listed as airprint enabled. HP officejet 6310 hardwired to wireless router that talks to the apples.
I use FingerPrint from collobos.com to print to my non-airprint printers. If you look at their FAQs, you will find information on a trial basis to see if it works for you.

HT4356 Can I use a wireless printer that is not AirPrint, but is WiFi capable?
I'm trying to enable my iPhone 4 to a wireless enabled printer but, the printer isn't on the AirPrint list for Canon (PIXMA-MP495).
My laptop is connected to the printer wirelessly.
So I guess my question is; Can I enable the printer wirelessly to my phone?iOS devices use AirPrint to perform wireless printing, your User Guide will explain how to set it up. But you need an AirPrint enabled printer or app to provide the right interface.

Any help will be appreciated.
Look on Kodak's site. They have several options for printing. And if that doesn't work, there are third party apps that will work. I have a Kodak printer (different model) and I use Print N Share.

HT4356 Can I print a pdf document on my iPhone to a bluetooth printer that is not AirPrint capable
I have the HP OfficeJet 100 portable printer with Bluetooth and it is NOT a model with AirPrint. From what I've found, I should be able to print a docuement using my iPhone but would need some print software. I cannot figure out what software they're talking about and cannot find anything on the HP or Apple sites.
bluetooth is just an usb cable just wireless
a driver is still required to print on a bluetooth printer
ios don't have drivers in that respect and can't of cause ever ever use windows or osx drivers
there are 2 options you have
1. if hp's free printing app in app store (assuming they have one) can do it
2. if you install netgear genie in a computer it will make all printers the computer have access to become airprint printers in the eyes of IOS of cause the computer have to be turned on when you print
even though it's netgear who make the app one is not required to use a netgear router or the likes -
How Do I Setup a Wireless Network in my home for 3 Mac's and 2 PC's
Ok..... I live with 5 people and we all have computers. I'm looking to setup a Wireless Network in our house that would allow all of us to access the Internet from our various rooms. Currently we have 3 MAC (a G5 Desktop, a regular Desktop, and a Powergook G4 with airport extreme), and 2 Window's based PC Laptops. So far everyone is using DSL, with the exception of myself. I sit in the back yard accessing the neighbors wireless network. That ***** and I feel like I'm stealing.
How would I go about setting up a Wireless network for all of these computers, and what equipment would I need to accomplish this?
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)First thing you need is a wireless router. You mentioned Airport Extreme---not sure if you are speaking about the card in the PB, or an actual router. Bottom line is that you need a wireless router. Airports will work with Windows, and Netgear is another good option as they are Mac friendly. Then, any computers that don't have wireless card will need to have one--unless you connect them directly with an ethernet cable. Get the IP addresses of all of the computers on the network. In Windows, go to Start-My Network Places-View Network Connections, then highlight the LAN that is displayed. With it highlighted, go to the "details" window and open the drop down menu if it is not open already. Write down the IP address. Then, go to the Macs you have, click on Finder--Go--Connect to server. Type in the IP address with smb:// in front and / at the end--will look something like this smb://192.xxx.x.xx/ Then select connect. Make sure you know the username and passwords of the computers as it will ask for these. To share the files from the Mac to the Windows, just follow these directions: You can set up your Mac so that you can share files with Windows computer users.
To allow Windows users to connect to your computer, you need to turn on Windows Sharing. When you turn on Windows Sharing, Mac OS X uses the Samba server software to provide SMB/CIFS file services.
You also need to give the Windows users the network address of your computer, and a user name and password of a user account on your computer.
Open System Preferences and click Sharing and, if necessary, click Services.
Select Windows Sharing in the list, then click Start.
Click Accounts and select the name of the user account that will share files. Enter the password for that user.
Look below the services list for your computer's network address. Give this address to Windows users.
You can provide users with the user name and password of any account on your computer. To help keep your computer secure, you may want to create a special account for Windows users in Accounts preferences.
Because passwords of the user accounts for Windows are stored insecurely, turn off the account when it is not being used. Before you turn off Windows Sharing, turn off all the accounts you enabled. Otherwise, the passwords are still stored insecurely.
If you want to use a user account that existed before you installed Mac OS X Panther, you may need to reset the password for the account using Accounts preferences.
Any of this info can also be found in the help files in the Finder. Hope this helps. -
Thanks for the help. Looked but not clear on what I am trying to do as being possible. Can I use an Airport Express to connect wireless to a Linksys Wireless Router, such that I can then use the Ethernet ports on the Airport to either connected to a PC wired, or even use a hub off the Airport Express to allow multiple wired connections to it?
I am not looking to have the Airport Express extend my wireless network, just connect to it and provide me wired connections in a different location from where my Linksys Route is located. Would prefer to replace Linksys with all Apple, but just not possible financially yet. Thanks for the help.If the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) is an 802.11n model, then yes, you can reconfigure it as a wireless Ethernet bridge. In this configuration, the AX would join the wireless network provided by the Linksys router and its Ethernet port would be enabled for either a single wired device or for an Ethernet hub or switch for multiple devices.

None of your trusted wireless networks can be found
Hello there,
We just bought a brand new 20" iMac 2.0 GHz Intel Core Duo last night, and we are having temporary Airport problems with it. We have updated the machine to 10.4.7, have run every single update in Software Update including the newest security updates, and have run the iMac SMC firmware update. So we are totally up to date on everything.
But we think we have discovered a bug in how quickly Apple's Airport software locates PROTECTED wireless networks.
We have a wireless router from Comcast, and we are wirelessly surfing the Internet just fine! Our wireless router works, and we're having no problems surfing the Internet. We have a 128-bit WEP security key enabled on our wireless network.
HOWEVER, 100% of the time without fail, we are having TEMPORARY Airport connection problems whenever we:
1. Wake up the machine from sleep.
or
2. Restart the machine.
or
3. Turn on the machine after it has been shut down.
Whenever we do one of these 3 things, we get an error message that says, "None of your trusted wireless networks can be found. Would you like to join the open wireless network 'linksys' instead?" ("Linksys" is our neighbor's unprotected wireless network.)
If we quickly click on the Airport menu at the top of the screen right when this message comes up, we can see that OUR OWN wireless network is NOT listed underneath the Airport menu at the top of the screen.
BUT -- by the time we answer NO to the above question, when we go back to click on the Airport menu at the top of the screen, sure enough our own network is now listed there! It is there, after about a 5-second delay. So we choose the name of our own wireless network from the Airport menu, and then we're connected just fine! It doesn't prompt us for our password or anything, b/c our password is already stored in our keychain.
So there seems to be something like a 5-10 second delay before the Airport software can see protected wireless networks, like our own.
But it's driving us crazy b/c we have to go through this little song & dance routine every single time. Is there any sort of a fix or a workaround for this that anybody knows of?
We've already been inside our Network system preferences and have chosen "Preferred Networks" instead of "Automatic", and have made sure that our network is at the top of the list (in fact, it's the only one listed there right now). Yet still, the problem remains.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Scott
20" iMac 2.0 GHz Intel Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.7)A couple more thoughts. Have you checked with the maker of the router to see if there is a firmware update that the router might be needing? (usually can be found at maker's online support)
WPA2 is a much better encryption method than WEP - check and see if you can set up the router's encryption method as WPA2. Refer to this other thread
Cannot connect with WEP Encryption
I notice you mentioned this problem exists when you "Wake up the machine from sleep." I'm not sure it will help, but I have my iMacs set - at System Preferences>Energy Saver>Sleep uncheck the box "Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible" as that does you no real good to have it checked, and noticeable delays can occur due to that setting.
This final suggestion will not make a difference to your connection issue, but check System Profiler on its "Hardware Overview" to see if it shows:
Boot ROM Version: IM41.0055.B03
If not, there is a system firmware update, Firmware Update 1.0.1, available here [the SMC Firmware Update was included in Software Updates, so you undoubtedly already have it installed]:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303903
For further important info about this system firmware update, check out my Aug 24 2:21AM post in this other thread:
