IOGEAR Wireless USB Print Adapter (Bluetooth)

Hi
I just bought the IOGEAR Wireless USB Print Adapter (Bluetooth) model GBP201 but can not pair it with my Mac Book Pro. Contacted IOGEAR and they say Mac does not support Bluetooth printing. I am not about to believe that! Does anyone have any helpful information on the subject? Thanks

I'm not familiar with that device, but I doubt that it advertises itself over Bonjour, so you would have to select the IP tab in the printer Add dialog, enter the IP address, and choose either LPD or IPP for the protocol (either one might work.)

  • Belkin F8T03 USB Printer Adapter: Anybody ever got this working?

    I've got quite a few bluetooth devices working with my new iMac 24, including Apple keyboard, mighty mouse, Palm device, Motorola Razr, phone headset, so pairing bluetooth devices is old hat for me.
    I cannot for the life of me get this printer adapter working. I've tried for hours. I've seen several posts on the web that indicated they had success. What's the secret?

    Did you find a solution Raf SR?
    I have a similar problem. After initial (updating/restoring) issues with my ipod mini which I won't bore you with, I got it working and charging successfully through my PC via the USB cable. Then I bought a USB power adapter for when I am away from my PC. When I connected my ipod to the power adapter it did the brief "do not disconnect" thing then "OK to disconnect" with no attempt to charge. I left it overnight and the following morning it had the battery/triangle/exclamation mark symbol and I had to reset the ipod to get it to work (I did this while still connected to the power adapter).
    I borrowed a friend's firewire power adapter and that worked fine. I went back to the store and swapped my usb power adapter for another (firewire power adapter wasn't available) and it did the same as the first one. The ipod still charges fine via the PC and usb cable.
    I don't get it! Can anyone help? Thanks

  • Can you help with wireless usb printing?

    I have a D-Link router ([DI-824VUP) that works fine as far as geting online and printing to an ethernet printer,(HP1300n) wirelessly. I recently bought this router because it has a usb printer port, yet I can not get it to see the usb printer (Canon S830D). D-Link was no help, as they don't support Apple wireless printing, even though they do support wired printing via their router. QUESTION-any idea how to get powerbook to see the printer when connected to the router? Printer setup utility does not see it, only the HP. Thanks-bobbabe

    Because this forum software is so absolutely USELESS now, you don't get to see the whole of the question in this view. In the other (non-list) view it says:
    "can you help with a technical problem with the stereo imagery option ? it won't take out lead vocal in a stereo mp3"
    And the answer is that if you can't isolate the vocal in the stereo field, or it is one of these odd ones where it's used inverted polarity in different parts of the stereo signal for the same vocal, then you won't be able to. But without a sample, it's impossible to tell. If you can post a link to one, that might help. It has to be external to this site though - Adobe in their infinite wisdom don't allow the posting of audio files on their audio U2U forum. Helpful, that, isn't it?

  • Airport Extreme Wireless USB Printing

    Hey Folks,
    I have an airport extreme running the latest firmware. Prior to installing the latest version of the firmware I was able to print wirelessly using a USB hub. My printer is an HP PSC 2510 photosmart all-in-one printer. After I downloaded and installed the latest version of the airport firmware I was no longer able to print wirelessly. I have tired all the suggestions on the apple support web site to no avail. Any suggestions? Anyone with a similar problem. I'm still able to print wired directly to my laptop.
    Thanks,
    Tim

    Bonjour all,
    I too have the same issue. I have 1 PB Pro, 2 MacBook Pros connected to a Samsung CLP-300 color laser printer via Airport Express' USB port. All Macs are running the latest version of the OS (10.5.2). Prior to 10.5.2 update, everything was working fine for all of the computers with the same exact setup.
    Whenever I try to print via Leopard, it does the first time but then I have to flush the printer queue (by turning off and on the printer first and do the same for APE) in order to be able to print again. Otherwise if I don't do this, it seems that the queue never gets flushed properly.
    The only way I can print for now (work-around) without problem is via Windows XP emulator on Parallels Desktop v3.0 (build 5584) with the Bonjour driver installed. I have to go under Windows XP to get any type of printouts I would like my apps under Leopard to perform. I essentially create PDF documents (under Leopard) I want to print, then I go in Parallels Desktop - Windoze side using the same printer which is still connected via APE USB port. The queue gets cleaned properly and I can still print other documents without flushing everytime.
    To me it appears that Apple Update has created the problem. Not the printer driver!
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers.

  • Wireless USB adapter

    I got this USB wirelss adapter,
    Linksys WUSB11
    Wireless USB Network Adapter
    Is this Solaris friendly? If not, which brand (wireless PCI/usb cards) I should try here?
    Thanks

    Hello.
    Wireless LAN is not widely supported for Solaris.
    I've ported a driver for USB WLAN devices using the ZD1211 chip from Linux to Solaris. Currently only devices that additionally use the AL2230 chip are supported (see "zd1211sol" project in SourceForge).
    The driver works under OpenSolaris/x86 but it makes a lot of problems under Solaris 9/Sparc. It is not known how it works under Solaris 10 or OpenSolaris/Sparc.
    It is a beta driver that still has bugs and it is not supported by Sun.

  • How do I set Airport Express up to be a wireless USB server??

    I was reading on CNET that this was possible with the express and I had been trying to do this with my Airport extreme without any success, im pretty sure the extreme doesnt do it.
    Thanks guys

    I wanted to set my airport up to print from work to my home 20 miles away.... my original workaround was going out and purchase a "wireless usb print server". I then ran across info on CNET that states the Express is a wireless USB print server.
    Am I missing something?

  • Problems with Wireless Router and Adapter

    I tried posting this in the wireless adapter forum but nobody responded :-(
    I'm using a WRT54G Router btw, and the firmware is v2.02.7, Feb. 27, 2004.
    Hi everyone,
    I have a Linksys Wireless G Router and several computers that I try to connect with. One of them is a computer running Windows XP and using a Linksys Wireless USB B Adapter (WUSB11). Another is a laptop running Mandriva Linux using a Linksys Instant Wireless Network PC Card (WPC11). Another one is running Windows Vista and using a Linksys Wireless N card. I also have a laptop running Windows XP using a Linksys Wireless-G Notebook Adapter (WPC54G).  I also have another PC running Windows XP and uses a Linksys Wireless USB Adapter WUSB54G. Finally, I have two macintosh laptops running OSX and with airport devices installed.
    Anyway, I have problems with my internet connection frequently being interrupted and even sometimes I won't have a connection at all for hours. This occurs with my Linux laptop, the PC with the Wireless B Adapter, and the laptop using the Wireless G Notebook Adapter. In addition to this, the macintosh laptops have internet even more infrequently. However, I seem to never have a problem with the Windows Vista desktop or the Windows XP desktop that has the Wireless G adapter. I try repairing the connection and often it does not work. I have also tried resetting the router and the cable modem. I'm not sure what else I can do. I even bought a Wireless N router and had little success with that. We even went as far as moving the wireless router upstairs into our living room, thinking that the signal was somehow suffering from interference or that distance was a factor. Anyway, sorry for the long post but I could really use some help!
    Thanks.

    Hi… logon to wireless N router’s setup page, open I.E. an in the address bar type 192.168.1.1 it would ask for username and password, put "admin" as a paassword (default password) without any username...linksys setup pops up, click on on wireless tab and and try changing radio band to wide 40MHz, wide channel to 9 and wireless standard channel to 1 or 11, go to advanced wireless settings reduce beacon interval to 50, fragmentation and RTS threshold to 2304, change N Transmission rate to 270 MBps…also try upgrading latest firmware on router, check whether it makes any difference or not and let me know.

  • My iPhone 5S no longer sees my wireless printer via bluetooth

    my iPhone 5S no longer sees my wireless printer via bluetooth.  All it does in Settings is continually search for devices.  I've rebooted the phone, as well as the printer.  I even sat next to the printer with no luck.  It did find the printer when I initially set it up.

    Did this work for you in the past?
    ios does not support bluetooth printers without extra software.

    You need to buy the right printer.
    The iPad uses a print technology called AirPrint. Airprint is a particular communication protocol that flows over WiFi.  So, having a WiiFi printer isn't sufficient. The printer needs to be of an Airprint variety of WiFi.

  • Epson Stylus Photo RX680 with Bluetooth Photo Print Adapter 2 won't pair

    This post describes my problem, but I couldn't reply since it has been archived:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7882399&#7882399
    I am having the same issue with an Epson Stylus Photo RX680 and their Bluetooth Photo Print Adapter 2. I go to System Preferences -> Bluetooth -> Set Up New Device, click Continue, select Printer, and click Continue. At this point, the Bluetooth Setup Assistant sends me to the Print & Fax System Preferences window. I can add the printer under the Bluetooth heading. It finds the drivers and adds the printer to my printers list, but a test page (or anything else) won't print. The job is added to the queue, but it stops trying to print after a few seconds. If I go to the Bluetooth System Preferences, I can see the printer listed (for a while), and I notice that it is connected but not paired.
    If I run the Bluetooth Setup Assistant and select Any Device instead of Printer, I see the printer in the list and can view the Passkey options. It is set to "Use a specific passkey", which is what I need. I have tried changing it to a different option and then changing it back, but it does not seem like this has an effect on how the printer is paired. I have never been asked for a passkey when attempting to add this printer, and I suspect that this is why I cannot print to it.
    I have also tried enabling and disabling Bluetooth sharing, and this does not seem to have an effect, whether "require pairing" is checked or not. Isn't there some place where I can choose "Pair this device" once it has been discovered? I find it strange that I can connect to it but have no option to pair afterward (at least that I can find). To make the matter more complicated, the printer disappears from the device list in the Bluetooth System Preferences after about 30 seconds, so I have to remove the printer and reinstall it in order to see the it in the list again.
    I am able to print to this printer using bluetooth from a Windows XP machine, so I don't think that there is a problem with the adapter. I am also able to print to this printer using USB, so I don't think that there is a driver problem. I believe (though I certainly could be wrong) that the issue is that the device is not paired. Can anybody help?
    Thank you.

    I was trying to find a way to use the Epson drivers because the Gutenprint drivers don't support duplexing or feeding out of the front tray on this printer, but at least this got bluetooth printing working. I downloaded the latest Gutenprint drivers (5.2.2), ran the uninstall program first to get rid of the old drivers, and then installed the new ones. I added the printer through the bluetooth heading in the Add Printer dialog, and I selected the RX680 Gutenprint driver (which was not available with the default OS X 10.5.5 installation). Once again, the printer showed up as connected but not paired in the Bluetooth System Preferences, and it disappeared from the device list after a few seconds, but printing works now. The print quality for this printer is much improved by the new drivers as well.
    Bluetooth setup is mentioned in the user documentation. It's kind of a joke:
    Macintosh computer: Double-click Bluetooth File Exchange in your Utilities folder and follow the on-screen instructions.
    That's it. I have been disappointed with this printer on a number of occasions. If you are going to connect directly through USB, then it's probably fine. If you want to use any form of network connectivity, you had better be running Windows on any machine involved.
    I'll talk with Epson support to see if I can get any further with their drivers. Since it's supposed to work, I'd like to see if I can get it to happen. Otherwise, I'll return the adapter and share the printer through a spare desktop.

  • Will a USB-parallel adapter cable connect my MacBook to an OLD PC printer?

    I have a very old laser printer of high quality and want to connect it (not wirelessly) to my MacBook. Does anyone know whether a USB-parallel adapter cable would do the job? Thanks,

    Oh, a wrinkle: the printer has a cord coming out of it meant to plug (female) into a PC (male). So I'm wondering what to do. Any suggestions?

  • Is it possible to add BlueTooth to USB printer

    I have moved my MacBook Pro to a smaller space and would like to have it be able to contact my old USB-only Canon Printer and Canon Scanner via BlueTooth. Are there USB/BlueTooth adapters for peripherals? When I search online I cannot find them - only adapters to add BlueTooeh to computers.

    The printer is a Canon iP6000D, which - according to Canon - will support
    Wireless photo printing from compatible infrared mobile phones
    and has a USB port.
    The scanner is a Canon CanoScan 5600F which has only a USB port.
    In my house, the MacBook can access existing a networked laser printer and a wireless inkjet all-in-one (both HP), but I prefer the control I have over scanning with the CanoScan.
    Guess I'll just have to live with what I have.
    Thanks to everybody who responded.

  • USB parallel printer adapter

    I have a HP Pavilion notebook.  I bought a USB Parallel Printer Adapter to connect it to my two printers
    HP Deskjet 540  and
    Hp deskjet 820Cse, Professional series
    but I cannot make the printers work.  Since the printers are old, HP is unable to help me.  Could anybody tell me how to make these printers work with my wireless HP Pavilion (laptop)?
    Thanks

    Which HP laptop and what version of Windows? I know Windows XP had usb to parallel drivers included natively. Vista and Windows 7 are tending to move away from support for "legacy" ports like serial and parallel. What port are you trying to install the printer on? I am using a usb to parallel adapter to an older parallel port printer together with a wired printer server with one usb port and it works fine with XP, Windows 7 and Mac OS 10.6 computers on my home network. I actually set up the printer on each machine through the print server, which appears as a network device. The print server plugs into the router with an RJ-45 cable.

  • I don't have a wireless printer, and want to print things off of my iPad.  I know that I can use the iPad Camera Connection kit to connect USB devices like keyboards and I am wondering if I could do the same with a USB printer.

    I don't think you can connect a printer since you won't have the printer drivers. I use FingerPrint from collobos.com to print to my non-AirPrint printers.

  • HP Laserjet 4100 and Belkin USB Parallel Printer Adapter

    I'm a brand new Mac user. I wanted to connect my Mac to my existing HP Laserjet 4100 printer. To do that, I had to purchase a Belkin USB Parallel Printer Adapter. I saw that Mac wasn't supported by this adapter, so I called Belkin and they said it was supported. Tried to set it up and failed. Called Apple for help, was on the phone for quite a long time, and no luck. Went to HP site to load drivers, and no luck. I contacted HP online and was told this product is no longer supported.
    So right now when I try to print, I get a message that says the printer is offline...but it's not. Anyone have any ideas for a workaround?
    Thanks so much for any thoughts.

    I think you should be a little more patient in trying to find a solution. I have an HP Laserjet 4ML from 1992 that I still use every day.
    In my case, I purchased an HP Jetdirect external parallel print server and have the printer connected to my router that way.
    You may also want to power off the printer, reset Printing System, and then power on the printer and re-Add it in Print & Fax.
