Mac Book wont't print to MP530 via AX

I have a Mac Book and Cannon MP530 multifunction printer, both purchased from Apple store. They are connected wirelessly through an Airport Express. I can only get small, simple jobs to print. Larger jobs will start to print but stop midway through the first page. Someone once told me that some multifunction printers don't always print when on a wireless network. Is anyone familiar with this. I would install a regular printer on the network if this would fix my problem.
Thanks

Hello maranathaguy. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Unfortunately, not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations.
Take a look at one of these iFelix Unofficial AirPort Printer Compatibility links, depending on which AirPort base station you have:
o 802.11g AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) or AirPort Express Base Station (AX)
o 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn)
If your printer isn't listed, it doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, but simply that it has not been verified. iFelix also provides the following workaround for printers not on the list that would certainly be worth a try.
Also, you may find the following Apple article helpful.

    Thanks -  I would rather not upgrade to snow leopard.  Is there a way to revert from IOS 7.0?
    What year, screen size, CPU speed and amount of RAM installed?
    Why not upgrade to Snow Leopard, if you can?
    NO. There is no way to downgrade your iPhone OS back to iOS6. Apple makes downgrades of their mobile OS not possible.
    If you can, the only thing you can do is upgrade your Mac's OS X operating system.

  • Mac book pro stopped printing in colour and is now printing a grainy image instead.  How to remedy this situation

    My Mac Book Pro (Retina) was printing in colour on a shared printer at the office.  It is now printing in Black and White with a very grainy blurred image.  Will the ColorSync Utility be of any help?  The colour option isn't in the print prompt when printing from iphotos.  Any advice would be appreciated.  thank you

    Hello Courious7,
    It sounds like you are unable to print in color but it used to work without issue. Assuming no changes have been made to the printer by the IT department, these troubleshooting steps should lead you to a resolution:
    Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3147
    Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
    Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
    Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
    Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
    Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
    Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
    If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
    Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
    If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again.  Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
    Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Installed new hard drive in my mac book wont boot up

    HELP

    Here is away of installing a new HDD in a MBP.  You do need an enclosure.
    INSTALLING A NEW HDD IN A MBP
    1. Make certain that you have backed up all of your important data.
    2. You will need a HDD enclosure.  One with a USB connection will do.  A 9 pin Firewire is better.
    3. Install your new drive in the enclosure and connect it to your MBP.
    4. Open DISK UTILITY>ERASE.  From the left hand column drag the new drive into the 'Name' field.  Make sure that the format is 'Mac OS Extended (Journaled)'.  Click on the 'Erase' button.
    5. Click on the 'Restore' button (on top).  Drag the old drive into the 'Source' field and the new drive into the 'Destination'  field.  Click on the 'Restore' button on the bottom right hand corner.
      Depending upon the amount of data you are transferring, this may take a couple hours or more.  A Firewire will speed up the transfer.  This will result in both drives having identical information on them.
    6. After the data transfer has completed, you may swap the drives.  Start the MBP and you have finished the installation.  The initial boot may take a bit longer than you are accustomed to, but that is normal.
    7. When you are satisfied that the new hard drive if functioning properly, you can erase the old drive and use it for any needs that you may have.
    Good luck.
    Ciao.

  • Mac Book doesn't print when connected to a shared printer.

    I am hosting a shared printer in our office and no other computer but mine can print from it. Mine is the only one connected to it via USB. All of the computers are Mac laptops. I've enabled printer sharing and checked to see how the others were configured but can't figure out what's wrong.
    When printing from the other computers, I get a message in the progress bar saying "(On Hold) Authentication Required." I've tried pressing Resume and re-entering the username/password, but it goes back to that message...
    The printer is a Brother 2140.

  • Mac cannot find wired printer on PC via Airport

    I have a simple home network with a PC (XP Pro) and a G5 Imac. The PC has the cable modem and printer attached and the Mac was attached by an Ethernet crossover cable.
    Everything worked; file sharing, printer sharing, and internet connection on both computers.
    Now I have replaced the crossover cable with an Airport Express. Everything still works EXCEPT I cannot print from Mac. I get a CONNECTION NOT FOUND, etc. I have tried to add new printer without success.
    Any ideas? Thanks

  • Logic board failure on Mac Book Pro. Backed up info via time machine with sea gate external hard drive. Help!

    I now have no access to any mac now, and the old mac while it still has my old information freezes immeadiatley upon starting. I am therefore switching to PC laptop that has be graciously given to me. My question is how do I get my information off my external drive, and on to my new laptop? The laptop is an Asus with windows vista, and I am planning on upgrading it to Window's 7. All my information from the past 3 years of college is stored in this Seagate 320 gb external hard drive. What do I need to do?

    OK… firstly try the USB port on the other side and see if it makes any difference. Otherwise, do you have any better luck using the drive when it's connected through an AC powered USB hub.
    To check if your MBP is seeing your drive at all it should appear in the USB section in the System Profiler utility.
