Mac can't see new printer-told to Disable Airport Extreme Firewall and Mac Filtering...

I have a new Epson WF-3520 AIO printer. I run Mac on OS X 10.5.7.  The printer appears to be properly set up to run wirelessly but it doesn't show up as a choice to be added to my list of available printers.  My Mac just doesn't see it.  After trying many things Epson's tech support told me to call Apple and find out how to disable the Airport Extreme's firewall as well as Mac Filtering.  I went into the Airport's utility and just got lost in knowing exactly what steps I need to take to do this.  Also, I'm somewhat dubious that this is really what needs to be done in the first place and I'm wondering if he simply wanted to get off the phone....  All advice welcome!  Thanks. Stephanie

Forget it.... My suspicion was correct.  I was talking to an idiot.  Problem resolved by me.  Unrelated to Airport.
Forgot to install a piece of software... duh!!!

  • My windows 8 pc can not find my printer plugged into my airport extreme. My mac and desktop computer running win 7 can. Help.

    i can print from my win 7 and macbook air. however when running bonjour printer wizard on win 8 laptop, my printer does not show up on the list.

    Thanks. It turns out that since I had received this printer as a cast-off from the office, it was still config'd with the old IP info. Once I set it for remote configuration (enabling something called "BOOTP" in the TCP/IP config sub-menu), I printed off the status page to find that all the addresses (IP, subnet, gateway) were "unspecified" with 0.0.0.0 values. But when I went back into the printer config menu, disabled BOOTP, and looked at the IP address, I saw that the printer had rec'd a new IP address (10.0.1.5) from the AEBS, I presume (I confess that I am by no means an experienced networker). I reprinted the status page to confirm the 10.0.1.5 IP, then I used that IP to install the printer on the PC via the method you suggested and everything works fine, thanks! One concern for future use, though. Is it possible that if the printer, AEBS, or PC are powered off and restarted, that the IP address of the printer will be changed by the AEBS and I will be unable to print to it? Since IP assignment by the AEBS is dynamic (right?), will this affect future printing? Something to do with DHCP renewal?

  • Can't See New Layer Styles In PS Elements V. 6 For Mac

    Can someone tell me why I cannot see new styles after I have installed them in PS Elements V6 for Mac. I have used Elements 4 for Mac for about a year, and I've just recently bought the new version. The book says you install them the same way in V. 6 as I did in V4. But they do not show up in the drop down list.  I use styles a lot in V. 4. Thank you.

    I did just as you said -- deleted both the mediaDatabase.db3 and the thumbdatabase.db3 -- they were not in folders other than 6.0 folder. I'm not sure what you meant by "repair permissions", but it did run through rebuilding itself after I restarted PSE.
    Do you think it might help if I created XML files? I read something about them in the manual, but it sounded so difficult, I was afraid to try it. 
    I really appreciate your help. Thank you.

  • I can't see my external hard on my airport extreme

    my external hard drive is connected to the airport extreme.  I can see it on my ipad and my iphone.  I can't see it on my macbook.  But I'm unable to access it on any of my devices.
    I think I have the external hard drive configured.  But I can't access the hard drive.
    Thanks for the support.
    Jonof16

    Strange if the drive format is Mac extended (journalled).  (see:  http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3ac6d42c)
    Can you can see the external drive in the finder? 
    Can you read to and write from it with the finder?
    Have you tried Trashing the iMovie preferences file and re-launching?
    Geoff,

  • How can i see the hdd, attached to my airport extreme, on the internet?

    I have an Airport Extreme installed with a HDD attached.
    I can see the disk and manipulate files when logged in at home.
    I want to use it as a storage for current files (and more) which I need every day.
    How can I make this visible over the internet and reach it from other places?

    In the 5.6 utility you should be able to see everything via the advanced pages.
    It will not log the name so you will need to work out from your Mac which user corresponds to which MAC address.

  • HT2426 Can't see my hard drive on my AirPort Extreme

    I'm trying to set up a external HD as a share drive for the first time by connecting it to my Airport Extreme.  I can't see my hard disk where it is supppose to show up in Finder under Shared. There's nothing.  No Shared, no external HD. Anybody know why?  The HD is good, it works when I connect it directly to my imac.  Thanks

    I'm currently having the same problem.
    For a very long time, I've been using my Extreme with a 2TB external WD drive with seperate power supply.
    Today I installed two old 2.5" drives ind a RAID1 enclosure, which I want to use for even more redundant back ups (NOT for speed).
    But somehow my Extreme fail to see the attached drive.
    I've tried ways of powering up and connecting in different stages, but nothing works.
    When I unplug the enclosure from the Extreme and connect it directly to my Macbook, there seems to be nothing wrong. Drive shows up and everything seems to be working.
    Anybody got a clue?

  • Windows 7 can't see USB disk (WD Passport) on Airport Extreme

    I am needing some help. I just bought an Airport Extreme and everything is working but I can't see my files on the USB external drive from the Airport Extreme. I can see the drive inside of the Airport Utility but not over the network on my laptop.
    My laptop is Windows 7.
    I read somewhere that I may need to reformat my WD Passport but how do I do that in windows 7 and will I lose my files on the drive if I do this?
    THANK YOU SO MUCH for helping me!

    There are a number of posts related to issues between Windows 7 and AirPort Disks. Two potential solutions being forwarded are: 1) Changing the LAN Manager authentication level, and/or 2) Disabling the Windows Search feature.
    To change the LAN Manager authentication level:
    o From the Vista desktop, click Start
    o Search for: security
    o Click 'Local Security Policy'
    o Goto Local Policies > Security Options
    o Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: LAN Manager authentication level'
    o Change level to: Send LM & NTLM responses
    o Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including RPC) clients'
    o De-select 'Require 128-bit encryption'
    o Click OK
    To disable Windows Search:
    o Start > Control Panel > Programs > Programs & Features
    o On the right-hand side, click "Turn Windows features on/off"
    o Scroll down, and de-select "Windows Search".
    o Press OK, close all windows and restart.
    A third "solution," that has worked for me, is verify that both the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) and the Win7 PC are using the exact same Workgroup Name. In my case, I use "WORKGROUP" (without the quote marks) for this name.
    On the AEBS, you would enter this value on the Disks > File Sharing tab.
    On Win7, Start > Control Panel > System and Security > System > Change Settings > Change > Workgroup

  • Setting up new printer with currently inactive AirPort Extreme

    Is it possible to share a printer with 4 laptops using an Airport Extreme while another router provides the internet?
    Here's what I have:
    - Linksys WRT54GS wireless G router (in use)
    - AirPort Extreme (older & not currently in use)
    - MacBook Pro (running OS 10.5.3)
    - 3 Dell XPS m1710 laptops (running Windows XP)
    - Old Dell Dimension (running Fedora Linux)
    - Dell 1110 printer
    - Canon i80 printer (w/ Bluetooth adapter)
    - HP Photosmart printer
    I want to be able to print with the Dell 1110 printer from any laptop. I looked to connect it to the Linksys router but the router does not have a USB slot - the AirPort Extreme does. Is this a possibility?
    Also, the Linksys router MUST stay. I'm sure many will suggest dropping it in favor of the AirPort extreme but this is not a possibility.
    Thank you =)

    Thanks for the help, I'm definitely getting there
    I changed the settings as you've described and can now print from my MBP. The 3 Dell laptops are another matter. Would you have any idea what the IP address of the printer would be? Or the AirPort Extreme? I'm following this tutorial:
    http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/1004.html
    without much success but I'm really guessing at the IP address. I've tried 192.168.1.1 (my router) and 192.168.1.101 (the IPv4 address) with no luck. I suspect it's the IP address that's the problem ...
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks

  • How do I get my macmini running Mountain Lion to see my Canon USB printer connected to my Airport Extreme? I have a macbook pro running leopard and that works fine. The versions of airport utility are different and I can't even see the printer from new 1

    I am having trouble seeing my usb printer from my second gen airport extreme using the newest version of airport utility under Mountain Lion. UGH! And while I can see and network to my Canon IP5000 from my macbook pro running leopard, I can't from my new macmini running Mountain Lion. Any help would be appreciated in configuring my macmini so it can see the Canon IP5000 on the airport extreme. Don't want to "share" the printer from the laptop because that would be a cludge. Thanks ahead

    I solved this one based on another post. Turned out I needed the snow leopard IP5000 driver. I had just copied over the leopard driver (I had saved my .dmg file) and installed that but it didn't work. So I downloaded the latest driver which turned out to be for snow leopard and I am guessing since it is 64bit that is why it worked and the leopard driver didn't. Anyway, I also had to hook the printer up via usb to the mac mini to get it to work locally before the O/S would see it over Bonjour via the airport extreme.

    Mike

    Hi Mike, and Welcome to Discussions!
    Here are the system requirements for 10.2, 10.3, & 10.4.

    -Power Mac G3 or G4, iMac, eMac, PowerBook G3 or G4, or iBook computer
    -128MB of physical RAM
    -Supports all video cards shipped by Apple on Mac OS X-compatible systems. Quartz Extreme functionality is supported by the following video cards: NVIDIA GeForce2 MX, GeForce3, GeForce4 MX, or GeForce4 Ti; Any AGP-based ATI RADEON card. A minimum of 16MB VRAM is required.
    -QuickTime Pro functionality requires a QuickTime 6 Pro key. The QuickTime 5 Pro key will not work after this software is installed.
    -DVD Player requires a DVD-ROM equipped Macintosh with built-in FireWire.
    PANTHER SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS 10.3
    -Macintosh with a PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor
    -Built-in USB
    -At least 128MB of physical RAM
    -Built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer

    Jaguar & Panther Install Sets, can be purchased rather inexpensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, etc.
    They are no longer available directly from the "Apple Store", as "Tiger 10.4.x" is the most up to date OS. Make sure what you purchase is a FULL RETAIL VERSION!

    Here are images of what the install disks look like:

    Panther
    Tiger
    Jaguar & Panther install disks are CDs ONLY. Tiger is a DVD.
    Tiger ships on a DVD, but if your Mac doesn’t have a built-in DVD-ROM player, you’ll need CD media. When you buy Mac OS X Tiger, you qualify to purchase Tiger CDs for only $9.95.
    Download the order form
    Orders must be mailed by June 22, 2006.
    Before installing any OS X, check if the PowerBook needs a Firmware Update.
    One problem is, if the iMac G3 does need a Firmware Update, you will also need OS 9 installed. I hope that's not your situation.
    Once you have an OS X installed, you can use the Combo Updates to bring your system to the most current version.
    Mac OS X Update Combo 10.2.8
    About the Mac OS X 10.3.9 Update (Combo), and link to Download.
    About the Mac OS X 10.4.3 Update (Combo), and link to Download.
    Shop Carefully, Read ALL Documentation, and Good Luck!

  • HP Laserjet P1006 Can not get new print cartridge into printer.

    HP Laserjet P1006 Can not get new print cartridge into printer. Received two new cartridges from HP. CB435A, 35A are correct numbers for replacement but round part on left side appears too large for channel provided. I can not get the old cartridge back into the printer either. What am I doing wrong.

    Hi,
    Please use the following instructions to fix:

  • Can't see MFP printer attached to AE (in Bridge mode)

    Can't see MFP printer attached via ethernet cable to 2nd AE (in Bridge mode extending wireless network) on local wifi network.
    Printer is set to static IP adress (192.168.0.50).
    Upstream Router is: 192.168.0.1 (this is connected to first AE).
    When the printer was previously attached (by ethernet cable) to 1st AE, everything was working fine and I could login to printer Admin page via Safari by typing IP Address. I have since moved the printer to the back of the house and leaving all previous settings, the printer is not visiable on the wifi network.
    Normal process to setup is:
    System Prefs > Print & Fax > Add > IP > 192.168.0.50 (currently just hangs not seeing the printer).
    Normally the printer name appears and the correct driver is shown at the bottom as Use: Ricoh 2020D Driver

    Have you verified that the Ethernet port is functioning correctly by temporarily connecting a laptop, turning off the wireless, and connecting using an Ethernet cable to see if the laptop can get a good Internet connection that way?
    The all-in-one device should also be reset back to factory default settings, then reconfigured again with a new static IP address. In other words, start all over again on the printer including a complete power cycle of the main and extending AirPort devices..

  • Mac can not see any printers.

    Mac can not see any printers.
    I have 2 other computers (1 windows / 1 Mac Book) using the printers just fine but once device can not even find a printer. Any ideas?
    Printer is Ricoh Aficio MP C3501
    The computer could not find the printers so I cleared them from system preferences. Updated everything, including downloading the most up to date driver, restarted and still can not see any printers.
    Thank you for your help,
    Darren D

    Hello ddelin,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I realize that two out of your three computers can see your printer, but one MacBook Pro will not. You have also done some great troubleshooting by deleting the printer, installing drivers, and trying to re-add the printer. If the issue continues, I would suggest resetting the printing system. Please use the attached article for more information.
    Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X - Apple Support
    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.
    Best regards,
    Joe

  • Mac can not see time capsule

    i bought Time capsule over Amazon .Air port works fine , but my mac can not see time capsule,,,sometime does , but most of the time not...
    It is a problem with time capsule i have 2 T new generation

    You don't mention what type of Mac you have, but is there any way you can move it around to see if that affects the problem?  If you hold down an "option" key while you pull down the AirPort/WiFi menu bar item, you should see a value labeled "RSSI" that is the strength of the wireless signal.   A value closer to zero is stronger.  For example, -30 is decent but -80 is poor.
    By the way, you don't seem to have declared any of your system details in your profile or didn't select your details to be included in your post.  Those can help people give you correct advice.  To update that, click on "Your Stuff" near the top of a window on these discussion groups, then on "Profile".  Scroll down to "My Products" and either edit an existing one or add a new one.
