My HP8000 ptr will not print via time capsule showing problem as "...short read". I've reset the printing sys on both MacBooks and the iBOOK? Can you help?

I have been using a HP8000 printer via the USB connection on a TimeCapsule using wifi from a MacBook, MacBookPro and an iMAC (ethernet connected to Time Capsule) for a couple years before the printing stopped with a message of ".....short read" The printer still functions when directly connected to a Mac via a USB cable. Help???

Suggest that you work your way through Apple's Printer Troubleshooting Guide to see if you can get things going again.
The last item....reset printing system....will often work when all else fails, but try the other steps first.

Thank you for your swift reply. I don't know that this has helped me, as I've reached my level of tolerance for fooling with this annoying little problem - for today anyway. It has been going on since I "up" graded to Firefox 4. My wife is running 3.6.x on her laptop with none of this foolishness. As BLASPHEMOUS as it may sound, I've gone back to IE for the time being even though I don't like it 1000th as much as I do Firefox.
Not just to rant here, I would say that I found a way to put some buttons on the right side of the toolbar that immediately gave me permission to "back, forward, and reload", but upon closing the browser and going out for dinner with the wife, I find on return that not only are those buttons NOT still on the toolbar, but I can't find them anymore. I think they were in "add-ons" found under I believe Add-On Manager.
I did also manage to achieve back/forward functionality running Firefox in SAFE mode, but this meant no No-Script, among other things, and I've grown too fond of that particular little script to give it up.
I've rebooted, restored, and reinstalled, can't get this formerly completely reliable program to work like it always has. Before looking around on here, I was beginning to think it was my PC.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP, cor-el. I'm going to see if I can get on live chat on Monday.

I´m trying to open an excel file in numbers not being successful. The error msg is unexpectedly error using plugin SFCompatibility can you help me?

I´m trying to open an excel file in numbers not being successful. The error msg is unexpectedly error using plugin SFCompatibility can you help me? Already changed the extension of the excel document to xlsx an now gives an unknown import error.

In Excel have you tried saving directly to xls (not xlsx) and opening the xls in Numbers?
If you have a complicated workbook in Excel that uses lots of Excel's advanced features, Numbers may not be able to handle the import. It does pretty well on basic things, though.
If you're just trying to get data into Numbers, then often copy-paste from Excel is easier than trying to open xls files.

Yes, it works. Download the trial and see for yourself. Adobe never updates the system requirements after any version is released, so that is what was available last Sept. when PSE 13 was released.

My girlfriend had a similar issue because her new device was not updated to IOS7 when she turned it on, but her backup point was created using IOS7. Check to be sure the restore point was created and then factory reset the phone after you have updated to 7.

Using Printer via Time Capsule for Windows

Hi,
Could you please guide me how can I use printer connect to my time capsule from windows based PC. I can do it from my mac but unable to print it from Windows PC.
I have also downloaded Bonjour, it detects my HP printer 1018 but when it comes to driver it is not able to locate also tried so many different option for the driver but unfortuntely no luck so somebody please guide me to print (HP Laserjet 1018 printer) from windows connected via Time Capsule 2TB.

When you setup the printer choose a local printer.. then change the port to TCP/IP and type in the IP of the TC.
Complete the setup.. and choose the 1018 HP printer drivers.
That should be all there is to it.
Download the airport utility for windows and see if the printer is there.
Ensure you have the TC setup in WORKGROUP for file sharing.
Make sure the computer is in home.. not work or public.
Make sure you do not have homegroup activated.
If that doesn't work turn off the firewall and try again.

TS1253 Print via Time Capsule without being connected to my router

My router and my printer are in two different places.
It all prints well when the TC (Time Capsule) is connected via Ethernet cable to my router and printer connected via USB to TC
Can I use Time Capsule to print even if it is not connected to the router via Ethernet cable?
My TC is connected via USB to the printer but TC is not connected to the router because the TC and the router are not in the same place. Why can't I print via wi-fi?
Thanks,
l.cello

If I want a fast backup I use the Ethernet cable.
The Ethernet ports are not enabled when you configure the Time Capsule to "join" the network using wireless only. You can only backup using wireless, whether you have Ethernet connected or not. Apparently, the "support" folks did not tell you about this.
I just do not see why this setup would take longer.
You are kidding, correct?
Gigabit Ethernet is 1,000 Mbps.
With a fantastic wireless connection, you might get 200-250 Mbps. Most users see about 100-130 Mbps.
As for why your Time Capsule setup will take twice as long as normal wireless .....
Backups have to make a wireless "double hop". Hop one is from your Mac to the wireless router. Hop two is from the wireless router back to the Time Capsule. Two hops = double the time.
Since you can only use wireless, your actual backup speed will be in the range of 100-125 Mbps, maximum. When you try your first backup on a Mac, it will likely take days, not a few hours as it should.
Since you have another hard drive attached to the Time Capsule, any copies of transfers to this drive will be exceedingly slow as well.
Unfortunately, the support folks did you no favors by providing the steps to this type of installation.
At least, they could have told you about the downsides.....which can all be avoided by connecting your Time Capsule to your modem/router using an Ethernet cable as the Setup Guide recommends.
thought that another reason to have and use a TC is to be able to use USB peripherals connected to the TC in wi-fi, like printers. This was the center of my question to start with.
Easy to do if the Time Capsule is connected to your modem/router using an Ethernet cable.
If you will, let us know how long that first backup of your Mac takes using your setup.

Connecting PC to Printer VIA Time Capsule?

I have an HP Printer that's running Windows 7, I have it connected via ethernet cable to my Time Capsule. I also have an HP C5180 printer connected to the Time Capsule via USB cable.
I have the printer connected to the Time Capsule so I can also access it with my Macbook Pro. That part is working fine, BUT... Windows is not detecting the printer. How do i set everything up so I can use the printer with the PC?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Do a google around for that printer and airport usb.. (since airport is more common).
eg. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1785847?start=0&tstart=0
Not all printers work or work well through usb print server.. often the drivers are just not written for remote usb connection. Or the printer is GDI type and actually needs direct connection to process the job.
Proper network inkjet printers are cheap.. keep the Canon connected to a computer if you want.. and get a wireless or ethernet network printer.. do not use the USB.. use the printers own internal print server.. and these days make sure it does airprint if you want to use iOS devices.
Remember the printer is cheap.. the companies make all their money on blades ink cartridges. Which they now add chips to, to prevent you cheating and buying OEM types.

Wireless printing via time capsule

i have my Kodak printer connected to the Time Capsule but can not figure out how to print.

Welcome to the discussions!
Try Apple's guide for printing to see if that will help gets things going.

Bear in mind that not all printers are compatible and there's really no reliable way to know whether your device will work unless you try it.

Can you print to an Ethernet only printer via Time Capsule

Hi all, I'm hoping to get some help before buying a Time Capsule.
I run a small home office, I have Pro Mac desktop and an 17" Macbook Pro, my wife runs a Powerbook. We output to a A3 colour Epson Aculaser AL 8600. Our current set up is to print share back to the Pro Mac which is beside the big laser printer in the attic.
Can we all connect the printer to the ethernet port on the Time Capsule and have a reliable access to print wirelessly? Or can you only print via USB?
Many thanks in advance of any help received.....

Thanks for the reply, I was thinking the same too, however any searches or posts here indicate you can only print via the usb port, plus, to confuse me even more, my local mac store suggested I buy an airport express with the time capsule and connect the express to the printer so it can talk to the capsule! Yeah! even though the capsule has ethernet ports....
I still need opinions form users who have done this?

How do I manage to setup my Canon to print via Time Capsule

Dear MacGurus
I've got a Canon MP520 printer/scanner that I've connected to my MacBook Air (OS X 10.8.1) and works well with printing & scanning. Just received my 2TB Time Capsule and want to set it up as a printerserver. I've joined it to my local WLAN that connects to Internet and set it up with Time lapse for backup.
Now, plugging the MP520 USB into the back of the TC I go to System Preferences -> Print & Scan. Here I naturally see the MP520 being unplugged from my McBook Air (as it is now plugged in to the TC...) Anyway, I click the small [+]-icon and selects "Add new printer or scanner". Here I now see the "Canon MP520 series" listed as a "Bonjour"/printer with Location on my TC. Selecting it and clicking "Add" a pop/says "Setting up Canon MP520 series-2, downloading software" and the progress par reaches some 30% progress when I get the following error message:
"Can't install the software for the Canon MP520 series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."
What is the problem? The printer works fine locally, but not over the air. Is it not supported by Bonjuor?
Kind regards
Niclas

Much more likely they don't have network drivers for ML.. try downloading whatever software is required directly and then installing it instead of allowing auto install.

Windows 7 PC connected to HP printer via time capsule. Printer keeps printing the same page over and over

I am using time capusle and have my husbands Windows 7 PC and my MacBook Pro connected to it. I just purchased a HP LaserJet P1606dn and have connected and printed to it succesfully using Bonjour on my MacBook.
I have connected through Bonjour to the printer on the PC, but when I print a page, it keeps printing the page over an over. It stays in the que. I also set up my dual boot MacBook/Vista laptop and agai, I have no issues on the MacBook part, but it does the same thing on the Vista Machine as on the Windows 7.
Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks!

Located a solution:
Go to Control Panel - Printers --- right click the printer and select Printer Properties.
Select the PORTS tab and disable Bi-Directional Printer Support. Seems to work whether the printer is installed either via USB or Cat5 to the Airport Extreme network.
For HP printers, if that first fix doesn't work, download and install the HP Install Network Printer Wizard - allow it to replace your 'newer' driver, but check hp.com for step by step instructions.
Third suggested fix is to download a PCL6 driver, or a different model-driver altogether that is more generic than model specific.

My HP8000 ptr will not print via time capsule showing problem as "...short read". I've reset the printing sys on both MacBooks and the iBOOK? Can you help?
