Inspiron 1505 can't connect to HP 1320 laser printer through Airport Expres

I need help!
I've gone through all the articles that I can find, and I still can't get my new Dell 1505 Laptop to print on my HP 1320 which is connected to my airport express. Both my Macs are fine with it. And the PC can connect to the internet via the airport.
I followed the instructions just posted on how to connect to Windows XP (which is the operating system of the PC I just bought) but even though I follow all the instructions, when it gets to printing a test page it won't work! The "wizard" spits me into the troubleshooting forum which of course helps me not.
What can I try next? Please help!

Welcome to the discussions.
Have a look at iFelix's link, it should solve your problems.

Database error #2002 can not connect local mysql server to socket through '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'(2) on mac os x 10.9.2

Dear Fellas:
I received "database error #2002 can not connect local mysql server to socket through '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'(2)" on mac os x 10.9.2.

Please help!!

Fascinated and guessing:
Something related to sock(2) because that's not part of your copied info. I'm thinking you've doubled up on sockets and the second socket doesn't exist, meaning you should be connecting to the first socket "mysqld.sock" whether automatic or not.
I've only used GUI tools on purpose, so does this mean you've already got MySQL running and you tried to launch it again manually? Perhaps you already have one instance of a db and you're trying to launch a second instance, and the two can't coexist with a single user local db?
Assuming this is all local, I'd shut down the db service and restart it, out of hand. I've seen similar messages when I set the db to start up on boot, and it didn't finish shutting down when I tried to restart it manually. Usually the GUI won't let me turn it on because it reports it's already running, but in that case it hadn't finished performing what the GUI was reporting.
Just speculating.

How can i connect iphone 4 with other mobile through bluetooth

how can i connect iphone 4 with other mobile through bluetooth

You can't. iPhone does not have this feature.
Some iOS apps will allow you to connect to other iOS devices for peer-to-peer games, or sending photos, but not to other makes of phone.

Can't connect to internet via MacBook Pro to Airport Extreme

I can't connect to internet via MacBook Pro to Airport Extreme. I reset AE and modem (power down and back up again). Some computers on my home network will connect fine and others won't. The ones that won't don't populate the DNS server or the Search Domains. AE shows up on all the machines. I have one computer also connect to AE via ethernet and it has the same symptoms. Why do some Macs connect and others don't. Even when I get them to connect when I shutdown or put in sleep mode over night I lose the internet connection and have to start all over. Very frustrating.

Regrettably no replies. I have struggled with this for days with no success and I have given up on the Airport Extreme. I have found several other Forum posts with very similar problems and no one seems to have a solution to this. It seems other wireless routers work better than the Apple product. I was able to get my old Linksys wireless router reset and it is set up and working well. The Linksys router does populate the DNS servers and domains where as the AE does not. Apple engineers should look into this. If I am mistaken and there is a fix for this someone please let me know, otherwise my AE will probably appear on Ebay very soon.

GerleMan, Welcome to the discussion area!
There are two probably causes:
Your ISP is blocking the port used by Entourage to send mail and the ISP used by the other wireless networks is not.
OR
Your ISP doesn't like OS X's default MTU seting of 1500. If this were the case it should also affect any large file transfers you try to make from your Mac to the Internet.

Connecting a Dell 1100 laser printer to iMacs

I have a two iMacs (one is brand new and one is 4 years old) and want to connect a Dell 1100 laser printer to them. Is this possible to do and if yes what software do I need (and where can I get it)?
Thanks!

Download and install the Samsung ML-1610 GDI printer for MacOS X.
http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/samsung-gdi/
This driver will also work perfect with your Dell Printer! (It does work fine with the Dell 1100 at my work!)
First install this (5.6 MB):
espgs-7.05.5-0.ppc.dmg
And then this (76 KB):
samsung-gdi-foomatic-1.0.ppc.dmg
Hopefully this solved your problem.

My iMac (OS 10.7.4) has suddenly stopped printing to my Epson CX4800 printer through Airport Extreme, although it will print if connected via USB. Meanwhile, my MacBook (OS 10.5.8) prints still prints wirelessly. Please help.

May iMac (OS 10.7.4) has suddenly stopped printing to my Epson CX4800 printer through Airport Extreme, though my MacBook (OS 10.5.8) continues to function just fine). The iMac will print if it is connected to the printer directly via USB. The iMac continues to connect to the Internet wirelessly. I've tried resetting the printer and ensuring the driver is up to date, but no joy.
Any suggestions?

Can't connect itunes to my remote speakers thru airport express

After having updated the latest itunes 7.3 my itunes does not recognize anymore my remote speakers and does not connect to them.
Have resetted my airport, to no avail. still, itunes does not recognize it.
please advise what to do as it is very annoying, when you make updates that your old configuration stops working.
many thanks
marwan

I had the same problem. It used to work without any problems but then stopped for no apparent reason. I tried resetting and hard-resetting the Airport Express (AX) many times, but no success. Plus the Airport Utility would never show the Airport Express once I configured it to join the exisiting wireless network (in my case a Airport Extreme).
Anyway finally this worked for me:
1) Hard-resetting the AX
2) Start Airport Utility and find the AX. But instead of going throught the guided steps to set it up, double click on the AX symbol and to set it up manually. Yo will see 5 icons in the meny bar - Airport, Internet, Music, Printers, Advanced.
- Airport --> Base Station: In give it any name and password.
- Airport --> Wireless. Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network. Select it below and the appropripate security settings and password.
- Music --> Enable AirTunes. Leave the rest alone.
3) Click Update. Close the window and wait until the AX restarted. (solid green light)
4) Let the AirPort Utility rescan the network.
5) Restart your wireless base station/router (as I said, in my case Airport Extreme. If you have another base station you may have to do it manually)
6) Start iTunes and presto you will see the remote speakers
7) Let AirPort Utility rescan the network. Presto, you see both the AX and the base station.
My setup: MacBook OS 10.4.10, Airport Extreme and Express, HP with WinXP Pro. Can also stream music form iTunes on the HP.

Windows 7 client can't connect to Server 2008 R2 Print Server VM (ESXi 5.5)

I have an issue today that is driving me bonkers.
I recently came on-board to a company in my area as the system administrator and this network has everything and the kitchen sink wrong with the network layout, probably the worst I've seen and I'm slowly but surely fixing it day by day.....
Well today I decided I was going to spin up another VM from a template and make a Print Server, seems harmless right? --- I thought so too, added all of the printers to the server and did test pages, all was dandy, but then I tried to add the printers to
clients and other server and the real fun has begun, I'm truly perplexed now...
I added a VM to my esxi 5.5 cluster at work that is a 2008 R2 server with only print management on it. I can map all of the printers on the network to the print server as-well as install the drivers correctly and I can resolve the IP and server name via
DNS. I can test printers directly from the print server successfully printing out test pages however whenever I try to map printers you know from the directory in 'devices and printers' from any of the Windows 7 clients or any of the other 2003/2008 servers
I get the classical "Windows cannot connect please check the network connection and make sure sure the printer is turned on". I disabled the windows firewall and I made the point to print GPO set to disabled and still no luck. Again I can print to
all of the printers internally inside of the VM (so I know it communicating to all of the printers), I just can't connect to the printers listed in the directory on any of external desktop/client, it's like so annoying. spent about 6 hours until my brain just
couldn't think anymore, was about to go BS on the VM.
The only thing I can think of, as I was driving home, is that there is a GPO on one of the DC that has a desginated print server policy set. But prior to last week the forest leve was 2000 and now it's 2003. I just don't know Server 2000 enough to know if GPO's
worked in the same way they do in 2003.
Right now printers are connected to other servers in a ad hoc mentality it seems, there has never been a true print server.
Anyone ever have this problem before?
I'm truly puzzled...

Hi Mid.Hudson-IT,
Before we begin ,we should ensure we have configured the printer server correctly .
Here is a link for reference of configuring the printer server .
Print server role: Configuring a print server
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc775791(v=ws.10).aspx
"I can map all of the printers on the network to the print server as-well as install the drivers correctly and I can resolve the IP and server name via DNS"
From this sentence ,I can`t figure out whether you have tried to ping the server both with the IP adress and name adress from the client ?
If we can ping the print server from the client,we can ensure the connection to the printer server is good .
Then we can try to install the printer driver directly to have a check .In the adress bar of Windows Explorer ,input "\\server name \the printer name"
If we cannot ping the print server ,we should troubleshoot the network issue firstly.
We also can check the event viewer for more information to troubleshoot this issue .
Best regards

Can I connect Ipad 2 WiFi to Internet through 3G Android Bluetooth Phone?

Can I connect my IPad 2 Wifi to internet through 3G Android Phone's Bluetooth?

Not Bluetooth. You can connect if the phone has tethering/internet sharing. The phone has to put out an SSID for other devices to connect to. Like a wifi signal.

Can only connect 2 Macs at a time to Airport/TC

Just what the title says, I can only connect 2 devices at a time. If I want to connect a third someone needs to get off their Mac.

This happens usually because the TC is in the wrong mode..
Go to the airport utility and check if the TC is in router mode, ie DHCP and NAT.. if not place it in that model and tell me what happens.
You need to give loads more info.
Type of broadband and actual modem / router supplied is a good start.

Airport express connected to my existing network - Can I connect a device to the network through it's ethernet port?

Is it possible when my airport express is wirelessly connected to my existing network - to connect a device to the network through it's ethernet port or is it wireless only at that point?
I'm trying to connect my A/V Receiver in another room to my network without having to run a CAT5 cable all the way to the router. I'd rather be able to connect it to my airport express if it will work that way.

Is it possible when my airport express is wirelessly connected to my existing network - to connect a device to the network through it's ethernet port or is it wireless only at that point?
Yes.....IF
You have an AirPort Express 802.11"n" version configured to "join a wireless network" and you have enabled the option to "Enable Ethernet Clients"
Or
You have an AirPort Express 802.11"n" configured to "extend a wireless network" from another Apple "n" router, in which case the Ethernet port is enabled by default

Can anyone recommend a good color laser printer for under $500?

We have a small business that needs one. We’ve been using an Okidata C5300 for the last 6 years and it’s worked really well, but starting to have some issues with it, more so after Snow Leopard. I’m thinking it may be time to switch to a more modern design and driver. We need something that prints reasonably quickly, but doesn’t have to be a speed demon. Would like the cost of toner to be relatively reasonable, it’s amazing how that stuff adds up.
Would appreciate any suggestions, thanks.

Based on your needs I think the OJ Pro series would work well.
It prints at about 35 PPM so 150 -200 pages a day wouldn't be much work for it at all.
The model I specified can connect via USB, Wi-Fi or Ethernet so you can easily connect to your network. It also does all of the functions over the LAN meaning print, scan, copy and fax and will do two kinds of jobs simultaneously. For example if user A is printing, user B can be scanning (or faxing or copying) at the same time.
Do the arithmatic on it. Here is a web page HP supplies that helps you calculate the cost per page based on your needs. The URL for that is: http://h10060.www1.hp.com/pageyield/en-019/yieldSearch.html?cCode=us
It also does auto duplexing printing, scanning & copying.
It was designed specifically for people with needs similar to yours. There is a myth that Lasers are cheaper than Inkjet based on very old information.
BTW I don't work for HP or sell HP products I'm just a satisfied end user. I'd recommend reading the reviews, looks like customers really like it.

Connect to Printer Through Airport

OK. I have a wireless network set up in the house, however, the router and modem and upstairs, and the printers are downstairs. The Airport Express would not be connected directly to the router as they are in different rooms. Can I hook up the network printer and USB printer to the Airport Express and then print to them wirelessly via a laptop on my regular network? Do I have to join a different network to print? How can this be done? Can it be done?
Thanks in advance.

I haven't tried with the network printer, but USB printer is fine. You can be the first to report back. The ethernet port on the Express can be used as a WAN (to create a network) or a LAN (to hook up to a Mac or ethernet printer).
Do I have to join a different network to print? How can this be done? Can it be done?
During the setup of AirPort Express via AirPort Utility, you would select +Join existing wireless network+. Enter your existing network name, password and encryption protocol. Restart AE.

Connect to broadband wireless, but not through Airport Extreme b/g

I have had an Airport Extreme BS working as a Gateway to my Wireless Broadband service since last July. The AEBS has been providing internet to a WinXP laptop, and an iMac running OSX 10.5.2. This has been working well since installed.
My Wireless Broadband is provided by Rogers and known as 'portable internet'. The Modem/antenna is the Motorola 'Expedience' device for outside perm installation.
Suddenly about 2 weeks ago, perhaps 3, we started experiencing problems. We would have fine performance for chunks of time, interrupted by complete internet connectivity loss. I would go through all the motions of reset on AEBS, on the service provider 'modem' and on the clients. Sometimes we got it back, mostly not.
I found that it looked like the DHCP setup on the AEBS wasn't reliable, in that the AEBS would sometimes get an address from the service provider, and sometimes not. This would then cause a failure of gateway and dns provision to the clients.. so everthing would fall apart.
Plugging a client directly into the service provider ALWAYS succeeded in getting an IP and DNS address. I've spent about 12 hours total on the phone to Rogers at this point, and from their side, working through detailed tests with me, say that they are reliebaly connecting to me, and reliably seeing me get ip/dns.
This leads me to believe that my AEBS has somehow been effected by an update, and now is having troubles handling the role of internal (private-side) dns and dhcp provider, or possibly that it's internal routing from private to public sides is somewhat in fault.
I didn't keep any records, but this would correlate with a number of updates i ran on the Airport utilities, and possibly with an OSX update i received automatically.
Airport Extreme BS version 5.7 ( 802.11b/g.. flying saucer )
Airport Utility version (Mac): 5.3 (530.22)
Airport utility version (Win): 5.3 (no build)
Mac OSX 10.5.2
1. Can anyone confirm similar issues?
2. IS Apple aware of an issue ( i've heard from some Apple store employees that there seems to be a buzz )?
3. Is this related to TimeCapsule release?
Does Apple listen to these forums, and if so, perhaps it's time to give us an update eh? A little bit of collaboration to save us all this massive headache would be appreciated. Just ask and i'll give you all the information i can dump.
Gotta hit post while i still have a connection.

Thank you Bob
I have taken your advice and reverted to DHCP from the AEXP do the address assignment to both Expresses, and I have taken great care with the WDS setup, but still it doesn't work.
Looking at the logs on the WDS main, this is what I see (the station referred to being the WDS remote):
May 10 19:49:34          Severity:5          Deauthorizing station 00:11:24:01:15:97 [2]
May 10 19:49:54          Severity:5          Deauthenticated with station 00:11:24:01:15:97 (4-way timeout)
(This is even with a solid green on both Expresses.)
HOWEVER: I have just tried rebooting both of them - main followed by remote - and now they seem to have realised what they're supposed to be doing and both have IP addresses.   This is on my desk. The next step is to see whether I can get an IP address on a device attached by wire.
They do say patience is a virtue. I can testify to that being true with WDS!
