Issues with airport express with wi fi printer..arghhhh

Hello everyone I just recently purchased a airport express for the main purpose of the audio cable hookup which I love. However im tring to setup my epson workforce 600 wi fi printer for wireless. And it did work well with my previous setup with a linksys router. But after attempting nurmerous times Ive had no luck with the airport. I believe the issue is when setting up a new router to connect to the wi fi printer. Mainly because your supposed to connect a rj45 from the printer to the airport and then id be able to run the setup software on my mac threw wireless. However since you need a connection from the modem to the airport to feed it the airport wouldnt be online and my software wouldnt be able to interact with the printer. Has anyone else had a situation like mine? Does the airport extreme come with multiple ethernet connections on the back? Looks like ill have to chose between getting a normal router and not having the sweet ablility to play music wirelessly.

Does the airport extreme come with multiple ethernet connections on the back?
Yes, the current ones do.

Airport Express questions on wireless print serving

I have a wireless network setup using a linksys router and thinking about using an Airport Express as a wireless print server in another room. I currently have a Canon MP500, 2 wired PCs connected to the router and 2 wireless laptops one Windows and an iBook. Would the Airport Express connect to my existing wireless network to act as a wireless print server for my network?
Thank you

Hi, does anyone know how to change the port setting on Windows XP Pro. I recently purchased an Airport extreme and the network is working great, however when I tried to set up the printer the documentation left some key peices of information out.
I had followed the step for installing a printer, but when I got to the point about specifing the adapter type, the documentation in the manual that came with the Airport skipped over that part. I guessed at the adapter and unfortunatly (and obviously after reading the instructions here http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/1008.html) I chose the wrong adapter. Now I want to go back and fix it but I can't figure out how. When I tried to run the add printer wizard again and the port setting wizard it said the port (IP_10.0.1.1) was alread in use and kicked me out of the wizard.
How do I change the settings on the port to the correct settings?
Thanks

Airport Express can find my printer (Lexmark z55) but cant print ?

Hi
At home i use Airport express with lexmark z52 and all work fine ...
At my parants house they got a Airport express with a lexmark z55 and the Airport express can see the printer but when i try to print it says "Problem communicating with the printer" ive tryed to disable firewall but that didnt help.
Ive tryed with a HP deskjet 450 and it works with that one ...i think its the Lexmark driver (i tryed these ones http://downloads.lexmark.com/cgi-perl/downloads.cgi?ccs=229:1:0:339:0:0&searchLa ng=en&os_group=WinXP&target= )
but no luck ...im running WinXP
So if you got any idea please lemme know

Why cant i print from my ipad using airport express but i can print from my mac using the express

why cant i print from my ipad using airport express but i can print from my mac using the express

Because your printer has to be Airprint compatible and connected to WiFi. There are applications, such as Printopia, that will allow you to print through your computer.

Compatibility Issue(s): Airport Express and HP Officejet 8500 Pro. How to enable network-printing?

Hello there,
I recently bought a Macbookl pro and now wanted to connect my Denon S 302 and my printer to my wireless network. Since the Denon S 302 cannot connect to my mac (since it's fireware is to old, so there are combatibility issues as well), I bought a "Airport Express station". The station has been configurated as a seperate wireless network, the stereo device (my Denon) and the HP Officejet were also connected. The stereo device with it's optical plug, the printer first over USB and then over ethernet conncetion.
The setup was quite easy, the stereo device is also working with my iTunes libary, so the connection from Mac to Airport Express is not the problem.
Also the printer is working correct, when it's plugged in my Mac... Both connection ways, the USB and Ethernet connection were not working, the printer cannot be activated it's status is offline.
Also the Manual does not really help.
The prouble shooting here linked a document to the HP site, which states, that my printer will not work with the airport express station, so is this ture???
Unfortunatly the warranty is exeeded, so there are no possibilities to connect the HP support via Mail or ask any questions..
Thanks for any help and advice in this case...

There is another problem:
The printer is recognized in the router setup, so it should work, but since I'm now using a Mac instead of my old Laptop, the router cannot forward the printer to my Mac, this only works with Windows PC's ...
I could post a link to the official help board of my telephone provider (the distributor of my router), but since this post is in german, it might not really help. But what was said, that it could work, if Apple would help them to get the right settings...
Now I'm trying again to connect the printer to the Airport Express, which is now connected to the existing wireless network, instead of building a new one...
So, are there any more possible solutions?
And thanks in forward for all your help...
Greetings from Germany

Paper Size issues with CreatePDF Desktop Printer

Are there any known paper size issues with PDFs created using Acrobat.com's CreatePDF Desktop Printer?
I've performed limited testing with a trial subscription, in preparation for a rollout to several clients.
Standard paper size in this country is A4, not Letter. The desktop printer was created manually on a Windows XP system following the instructions in document cpsid_86984. MS Word was then used to print a Word document to the virtual printer. Paper Size in Word's Page Setup was correctly set to A4. However the resultant PDF file was Letter size, causing the top of each page to be truncated.
I then looked at the Properties of the printer, and found that it was using an "HP Color LaserJet PS" driver (self-chosen by the printer install procedure). Its Paper Size was also set to A4. Word does override some printer driver settings, but in this case both the application and the printer were set to A4, so there should have been no issue.
On a hunch, I then changed the CreatePDF printer driver to a Xerox Phaser, as suggested in the above Adobe document for other versions of Windows. (Couldn't find the recommended "Xerox Phaser 6120 PS", so chose the 1235 PS model instead.) After confirming that it too was set for A4, I repeated the test using the same Word document. This time the result was fine.
While I seem to have solved the issue on this occasion, I have not been able to do sufficient testing with a 5-PDF trial, and wish to avoid similar problems with the future live users, all of which use Word and A4 paper. Any information or recommendations would be appreciated. Also, is there any information available on the service's sensitivity to different printer drivers used with the CreatePDF's printer definition? And can we assume that the alternative "Upload and Convert" procedure correctly selects output paper size from the settings of an uploaded document?
PS - The newly-revised doc cpsid_86984 still seems to need further revising. Vista and Windows 7 instructions have now been split. I tried the new Vista instructions on a Vista SP2 PC and found that step 6 appears to be out of place - there was no provision to enter Adobe ID and password at this stage. It appears that, as with XP and Win7, one must configure the printer after it is installed (and not just if changing the ID or password, as stated in the document).

Thank you, Rebecca.
The plot thickens a little, given that it was the same unaltered Word document that first created a letter-size PDF, but correctly created an A4-size PDF after the driver was changed from the HP Color Laser PS to a Xerox Phaser. I thought that the answer may lie in your comment that "it'll get complicated if there is a particular driver selected in the process of manually installing the PDF desktop printer". But that HP driver was not (consciously) selected - it became part of the printer definition when the manual install instructions were followed.
However I haven't yet had a chance to try a different XP system, and given that you haven't been able to reproduce the issue (thank you for trying), I will assume for the time being that it might have been a spurious problem that won't recur. I'll take your point about using the installer, though when the opportunity arises I might try to satisfy my cursed curiosity by experimenting further with the manual install. If I come up with anything of interest, I'll post again.

Issue with ALV grid print preview/spool

Hello everyone,
I am working on a report and I am having some issues with ALV grid. Currently in our DEV and QA environments the user can run the report, view the ALV grid, and print the grid without any issues.
However this isn't the case in the Prod environment. The user is able to run the report and view the grid without any issues. But when they click print preview or click print, the spool is incorrect. It shows the proper values from the grid, but the first field is reduced in length. Rather than showing a numeric field of length 10 it shows 99999999# or 99999999...
The programs are identical through every environment, including user parameters, formats, and spool settings. I have been told printing grids may have some issues, does anyone have any advice or dealt with this issue before?
I appreciate the help.
Thanks,
C

I was waiting to hear from the functional team on the matter and no one has mentioned any more issues. I am assuming the problem is solved. I just noticed the thread was still un-answered and wanted to give an update.
Thank you for you help Vijay.

Dear All,
As i Mentioned in my earlier post, the same coding working fine in Quality server --> Printing multiple lines in script output.
But now, I have the same reqt. in another window.
So, I did the same coding.
But, this time it's printing the last line of the internal table in all the lines.
This is happening in Quality Server only.
The only difference between the previous internal table and this int. table is:
1. The first int. table content is printing in MAIN Window. ---> working fine
2. The second int. table content is printing in VARIABLE window. ---> NOT WORKING.
Can any one tell me what's the issue with this ?

Two issues with HP5514 wireless printer

I have 2 issues that I've had since I installed the Photosmart 5514 a year ago...
I get giberesh on my printouts. Seems to be narrowed down to sending a 2nd doc to the printer while it is printing the first doc. When it gets the 2nd doc, the first starts printing giberesh and the next docs are all giberesh. Power cycle the printer to clear.
The 2nd issue started in the PC after the printer software was intalled. Outlook 2007 will stop loading pictures from the web in my emails. If I kill the hpnetworkcommunicator.exe tasks in task manager, they will start loading. Then when I want to print to the 5514, I have to reboot the pc. The PC is an HP D530 with XP.
I have allowed the updates when the popup says there are updates.
The issues make me limit my use of the 5514 and keep using the older other brand printer.

As i understand, you have a NETGEAR firewall (with DHCP on) and two Linksys routers working as APs. As far as connectivity for internet is concerned, IP address settings as you mentioned for all the three devices is absolutly correct. You didnt mentioned the physical connectivity of 2nd router. Basically, if DHCP is disabled on both Linksys routers then you can either connect both routers to NG firewall (LAN to LAN) or connect first router to NG firewall (LAN to LAN) and 2nd Linksys router to the first router (LAN to LAN).
For the wireless connectivity, you can either keep same SSID or different SSID on both routers, both settings would work since they all the three devices are physically connected and have a single default gateway i.e. NG firewall. However, i would recommend to keep the same SSID on both linksys routers for seamless wireless connectivity.
And last as you mentioned regarding the network name that you cannot see for the first router.
You can upgarde the firmware of the router
And try to change the wireless channel to 6 , 9 or 11 and then try to view the wireless network.

Issues With Adobe XI Printing

I recently installed Adobe XI on my desktop (Win 7), and am having issues with printing.
If the printing size is set at 100%, the only pages that print are the first and last page of some pdf documents.
With other pdfs, I have to resize it to 76% for printing, in order to not have the top and bottom cut off.
I did not have any of these issues before this latest version was installed.
Any suggestions? Solutions?

Hi fuzzi%20p,
Could you please let me know if you have checked for updates to use the latest patch of Adobe Reader XI i.e. 11.0.10
Also, tell me if you have set Adobe PDF as your default printer (under Start> Devices and Printers)
Let me know.

Issue w/ Airport Express (new gen) - cuts off Airplay Music

I'm having this really frustrating issue with an A1264 Airport Express: whenever I play a song from my iPhone (4S), it cuts out every 30 seconds or so, and takes about 5 to 10 to recover. I've tried downgrading it to 7.5.2, but it only made matter worse.
Thanks in advance,
Darie

PS: It plays back fine when streaming from PC. However, my iPhone streams just fine to another Airport Express (from the Apple Store). Any help would be awesome :)

Airport Express and Lexmark P6200 printer

I get 'error message 9672' When I try to add my printer (a Lexmark P6250) through the Airport Express USB connector. The printer is fine when coupled to the iBook via wire. Could there be a compatibility problem & if so is there a way around it.

Ok, well I solved it on my end for now.
I called Apple Support and they told me there aren't instructions anywhere for how to connect a printer to the Airport Extreme via Ethernet because they can can only assist you if you're connecting your printer to the Airport Express via USB. If you're using anything besides a USB (Ethernet in this case), they "can't help." From what I understand, it has something to do with them (Support) being able to detect what's going on with your setup if your Airport is connected via USB, and they can't "see anything" if the connection is via Ethernet cable. She said I'd have to take it up with the manufacturer of the printer...
But--what I did instead--is I connected the printer to the Airport Express via the Ethernet cable, I went to "Print & Fax", deleted the old queue for the printer, added a "new" printer, and there it was, under detected devices via Bonjour!
Why couldn't she have told me to delete the "old printer" and add a "new printer" via "Print & Fax"?
Anyway, in retrospect, it was a relatively easy problem to solve (given my computer and my printer, a Samsung ML-2851ND). But with all these wires and configurations (not to mention excitement and expectation) etc, etc, things can get confusing.
Hope this helps!

Airport Express can't see printer

I have a Brother HL-2040 laser connected to a brand new Airport Express. The AE unit works fine in all other respects but doesn't seem to see the printer. When I go to printer utility and click "add" nothing shows. When I look in the airport admin utility there is no usb printer shown. I have unplugged and replugged the various things, restarted my Macbook etc. Any suggestions? Very frustrating! Many thanks.
PS--Brother's support page specifically says this printer should work with 10.4.x via Printer Setup Utility.

Well I must apologize--I had failed to fully insert the usb cable at one end. When I corrected this the printer was immediately recognized and now works fine.

Why isn't AirPort Express allowing me to print?

When printer's USB cable is plugged into computer, everything prints normal. When printer's USB cable is plugged into AirPort Express, error message appears on computer, and won't print.

Welcome to the discussion area!
First, make sure that you have installed the printer at the AirPort Express location by connecting the printer to the USB port, powering on the printer, and then opening System Preferences (gear icon on the dock) and then Print & Fax. Click the + (Plus) button to begin the installation process for the printer at the AirPort Express.
Next, review Apple's Printer Troubleshooting Guide for additional tips on printing at the USB port of the AirPort Express.
You really won't know if your printer is compatible with the AirPort Express until you try, but bear in mind that not all printers will work at this location, and if you have an all-in-one type device, only the printing function will work when the device is connected to the Airport Express. Scan, Fax, Copy, Maintenance, etc are not available when the printer is connected to the AirPort Express. If you need these functions, you'll have to plug the all-in-one directly into your computer for these services.
