J3680 Scan over airport express??

I just bought an officejet j3680 and I want to be able to scan over the network. I have print capabilities but no scan. When I do the software install while the printer is hooked to my airport express the installer says that it needs 0kb of space to install. It then proceeds to go straight to the success screen. If I hook up the printer via USB directly to my iMac then the software will install all sorts of **bleep**.
Why won't/can't it install over the network. "It isn't supported" is a sucky answer all by itself. If you say "it's not supported because...." then that helps me to understand what is actually going on so that I don't make similar assumptions in the future. If it's just this particular all-in-one that isn't supported then fine, but is there one that this feature is supported on? Thanks in advance for the help.

It isn't supported because the printer does not come with a Network Interface Card(NIC) preinstalled, or it doesnt have the option of inserting one in it(actually, none of our printers do). the NIC enables it to connect and interact to a network. but since it does not have one, you cannot use it over a network.
if you want an Officejet that jas network capabilities, both wired and wireless, then go for the Officejet J6480.

  • Success Scanning over Airport Express

    For those who have or who are about to purchase All-in-One printer/scanner/fax devices and are looking to network them via airport...save yourself a bit of a headache and read on. As you know, a typical all-in one will print via USB thru an Airport Express Base station, but will do little else. The advanced features and even scanning are not supported. But if you consider the models that have built in ethernet and wireless capability, such as the HP6310, you hook them up thru the ethernet port, not the USB, and Bingo!..all the features are enabled. So if you spend a bit more time looking for those models that do have built-in wireless capability you will save yourself a lot of time and torture trying to get it to work via USB. It just won't.

    Sorry, but the USB port on the AirPort routers will only support the print function.
    Connect the All-in-One device to your network by using wireless or Ethernet for full functionality if your printer supports these types of connections.

  • Error message when I try to stream iTunes over Airport Express

    When I try to stream iTunes over Airport Express, I get an error message: An unknown error (-15006) occurring while connecting to the remote speaker. This just started happening since I upgraded to iTunes 9. Is there a fix?

  • Audiostreaming over Airport Express via Ethernet

    So far, streaming audio over Airport Express in my large house has been a bit unstable - the audio stream often gets interrupted.
    Now I have been thinking of using a wired Ethernet network instead of wireless transmission.
    My question: The Airport Express has an Ethernet port. Is it possible to access the Airport Express wired to an Ethernet network and use it to listen to streamed audio?
    Question two: And still use its wireless functionality to access the Internet?
    What about the Airport Extreme in this regard?

    Yes.
    Question two: And still use its wireless functionality to access the Internet?
    Yes, you can configure the AirPort Express for a roaming network.
    What about the Airport Extreme in this regard?
    Yes, you can use an AirPort Extreme in a roaming network configuration; no, you cannot use it for streaming.

  • Trouble printing to Canon ip4200 over Airport Express from Windows XP

    I've just spent the last 4 hours trying to get my Dell laptop running XP to print to my Canon ip4200 USB printer connected to my Airport Express. My PowerBook (10.3.4) connected without issue and has been working fine. The XP laptop just refused to print, and the "troubleshooter" was useless. It would print fine over a direct USB connection, but, despite following the directions for connecting an Airport Printer in XP to the letter, it failed to print every time.
    I was tearing my hair out in frustration when I eventually discovered this post at macosxhints: "RAW port has changed!" (scroll down thew page a bit):
    http://www.macosxhints.com/comment.php?mode=display&sid=2003072510530643&title=R AW%20port%20has%20changed%21&type=article&order=&pid=0
    The default Raw configuration for "Standard TCP/IP Port" was set to 9100. I manaully changed it to 9101 and all works great now.
    I don't know where the default of 9100 came from, but this has cost me an entire morning of frustration. GRRRRR!
    Anyway, I'm posting this here in case anyone else is struggling with similar symptoms

  • Fax and Scan with Airport Express

    I have an Airport Express with my Mac and a Windows Vista PC running on my wireless network. I have a HP PSC printer, but I am unable to scan or fax from either computer. Any ideas if this is possible, and if so, how?

    I have a HP PSC printer, but I am unable to scan or fax from either computer.
    Unfortunately, not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations. In addition, the AirPort's USB port does not support the "advanced" printer functions, like scanning, copying or faxing, of multi-function printers.
    Any ideas if this is possible, and if so, how?
    Yes, two that come to mind are:
    o Connect the printer directly to the USB port on your Mac, or
    o If the printer is Ethernet-enabled, you could connect it to the Ethernet port of the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) if the AX is reconfigured to be a remote base station in a Wireless Distribution System (WDS).

  • Printing from imac over airport express connected to an ethernet network

    Hi, My home ethernet network shares an ethernet connected printer, and web connection via a switch and worked fine. What doesn't now work is my rearrangement that now includes an emac, and imac connected to this wired net via an airport express, they connect to the web just fine, but the printer isn't detected. I can hookup either mac to the switch directly using cat5 cable and detect the printer but not over the airport express that is wired to the switch. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated as I am trying to avoid more holes drilled in the floor so near where the plastic waterlines run to the second bathroom.
    Thank you,

    Hello again,
    I'm guessing that the problem is maybe that both the switch and the express are duplicating some of the same things, and that the airport express should maybe be setup as strictly a bridge. Would one be able to set it up as a bridge and be able to handle 2 macs, or would it just handle one correctly at a time?
    Thanks

  • Using Kodak AiO 5500 over Airport Express- works on my Mac, but not on PC

    The subject says it all, folks. Just got a new Airport Express 802.11n and hooked up both printers (Samsung ML-1740 and Kodak AiO 5500) with a powered USB hub. Both printers are visible in Airport Utility (and Bonjour Printer Services in Windows).
    I'm running OS 10.6.3 on a MacBook Pro, 15" 2.4GHz Core2Duo system. On this system I can use both the Kodak and Samsung, no problem. But then on both of my parents' PCs only the Samsung printer works, although I can see both using Airport Utility and Bonjour Printer Service.
    What the heck is going on??
    Thanks in advance!

    I would perform the following steps for testing:
    1. Disconnect the Samsung printer, so that just the Kodak printer is connected.
    2. Disable the firewall at the Windows machine (the Windows one and all third party)
    If that's successfull, you can
    3. Re-enable the firewall and you probably need to allow traffic on port 9100 (not 100% sure about the exact port)
    4. Re-connect the Samsung printer

  • HP Laserjet 1160 over Airport Express

    I recently got an HP LaserJet 1160le and wanted to hook it up to my network using an Airport Express. I have used other printers with the airport express in its current config with no problems, but now I have an issue.
    If i plug the printer directly into my powerbook via USB, the driver is automatically detected and everything is spiffy. When I add the printer through Bonjour, it doesn't detect the driver. The 1160 and 1320 are nearly identical and the drivers are almost the same, so I choose the 1320 driver.
    When I print i get a single page with a few lines that state:
    %!PS-Adobe-3.0 %RBINumCopies: 1
    There are a few more lines but nothing that really seems to point to the problem. When I try and add the same printer to an XP Pro machine the 1320 drivers don't work, but the 1100 drivers work which would be a better match to begin with. The 1100 drivers and the HP Laserjet 1.3 driver are not available as a choice when setting up on the Mac. Anyone have any ideas or solutions?

    It may work with a third-party driver such as the HPIJS drivers or the Gimp-Print drivers, but this is not the case with all printers.
    HPIJS
    Use the process outlined here:

  • Filesharing with Windows over Airport Express

    Hi, I have a windows xp network that is set up as follows
    cable modem -> Linksys BEFSR41 rougter -> Airport
    the linksys goes off to a few computers and the airport express, now the networks is working beautifuly for internet access, but i am stuck when trying to get my notebook computer (which connects to the airport and accesses the net fine) to connect to one of the computers (connected through the Linksys) and do some windows file sharing
    Has anyone had any experiance with trying to set something like this up before? any help would be very greatfuly recieved.
    Right now I am thinking that the problem is having to do with something about how the linksys's ip range is in the 192.168.x.x while the airport is 10.1.0.x and how windows isnt agreeing with that kinda configuration to share, or something along those lines, Im totally lost
    thanks for any help

    You just need to set up the AX as a bridge...
    To set up the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) as a bridge, using the AirPort Admin Utility, connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, make these settings:
    Network tab
    - Distribute IP addresses (unchecked)
    - Apply the new setting.

  • My fairly new os 10.7.2 iMac won't wake up after I've been using iTunes over airport express. I have to manually shut down and restart

    When I use my airport express to listen to iTunes in the garage, the computer won't wake up by pressing a key, I have to reach behind the computer and hold down the power button and restart to get a screen.  This only happens in the garage which has a newer express than the rest of the rooms. Version 7 vs 6 as I recall.  I've check ed updates, but it shows updates are all complete.
    Any suggestions would be great.
    thanks,

  • Lost Airplay over Airport Express

    We have a time capsule and 2 airport expresses which we use to play music wirelessly. Everything has worked fine for quite some time but music streaming suddenly stopped a few days ago on both devices. The light on the airport express is green, sometimes solid, sometimes blinking quickly.
    The current airport utility sees the devices but gives the message "This version of AirPort Utility doesn't support this base station. Use AirPort Utility 5.6 to configure or manage this base station." Unfortunately, I can't run airport utility 5.6 on Lion.
    Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Problem solved. Mystery remains. but problem solved

  • TS3276 Connect to internet via browser over Airport Express, but Mail app can't connect to internet

    Hi - I just moved to a new apartment, and I have an Airport Express that is allowing me to connect to the internet through a browser, but Mail keeps telling me that it can't connect to the internet. I'm guessing it has something to do with the network settings for my Airport Express? Not sure what the right configuration should be. Thanks!

    In Mail, from the Window menu select Connection Doctor - any feedback there? Within the window click on Network Diagnostics to see if it offers any clues.
