May iMac (OS 10.7.4) has suddenly stopped printing to my Epson CX4800 printer through Airport Extreme, though my MacBook (OS 10.5.8) continues to function just fine). The iMac will print if it is connected to the printer directly via USB. The iMac continues to connect to the Internet wirelessly. I've tried resetting the printer and ensuring the driver is up to date, but no joy.
Any suggestions?

Jetpack 5510l has no wifi signal - can only connect via usb to get Internet.

Bought this device on a Thursday and it worked flawlessly - until Saturday. The device has had a consistent connection to Verizon, but on Saturday the wifi began to 'go out.' The device showed everything was working, but the wifi radio seems to have just turned off (after intermittently failing for a period of a couple hours). We tried several different devices, none showed a working wifi signal coming from the mifi by the end of the day.
What we have done so far:
Rebooted.
Removed battery (after shutting down), restarted.
Used hard-reset button.
Used web intefrace to turn wifi on and off - and on, changed ssid, passphrase, reset again (after each phase we also gave it an hour to see if the signal would return).
Nothing has gotten the wifi from the device back online - it's as if either the radio or wifi antenna is completely broken. We attempt to connect using 3 or 4 different devices - so it is most certainly the mifi. There are no errors from the device - is there a debug / test mode?
Our current workaround is to connect via usb to a Macbook and just share the internet connection - which works great, but makes travel a bit more difficult if a computer has to be connected to allow us to have a wifi signal (not from the mifi).
Regards.

Taking the Jetpack apart is going to void your warranty. I would not suggest going down that road until your warranty is up. Instead give VZW a call and have them ship you a replacement under the warranty service agreement. You have done a perfect job of isolating the problem to a wifi radio issue. Its easy to recreate and confirm which will make the phone call fairly quick. Unless you got sold on some kind of Best Buy warranty and prefer to go through them, VZW is going to be your best bet at getting a speedy replacement.

My iPad has suddenly stopped printing to my hp AirPrint printer although it says that it has contacted the printer. My iPhone still prints o.k.

My iPad has suddenly stopped printing to my hp AirPrint printer. It was working fine but now although it says it has contacted .the printer etc. nothing prints. My iPhone still prints o.k. So don't think it is the printer or router

Try rebooting your iPad by pressing and holding the Home and Sleep buttons at the same time until the Apple symbol appears (Ignore the power off slider).

Officejet J6450 will NOT connect to laptop wirelessly - PLEASE HELP...

Good afternoon,
I just spent almost two hours on the phone with a woman from the HP Tech Support team that I could barely understand (not exaggerating - would be wonderful to bring back customer service to the US - god knows we need some more jobs here!!). She had me do a number of things, none of which solved my problem - needless to say, it was a very frustrating two hours and now I am very frustrated!
My issue is that my laptop will not recognize the wireless Officejet J6450. I have Comcast broadband cable internet, a Linksys wireless router, an HP desktop, and a Dell laptop (laptop is from employer - I work from home). I loaded all of the software on my desktop first (connected via USB) and everything worked perfectly. I used the Network Setup Wizard on the printer and connected to my Linksys wireless router with no issue whatsoever (full signal strength). I printed a wireless netwok report - no problems were found - all diagnostic tests were a success. The ethernet adapter wireless network connection IP address on my laptop is 192.168.1.102 and the IP address of the printer is 192.168.1.103. So then I proceeded to load the software to my laptop for wireless connection - thinking all along how easy getting everything set up has been. I then loaded the software to the laptop and I got to the part where it asks what type of connection I want to set up. I chose wireless and it asked me to temporarily plug the laptop to the printer via USB cable. I did so and it began searching for my wireless network. I selected my wireless network and it began searching for my printer. This is were I hit the brick wall - it could not find my printer. I tried again - chose my network, tried to find the printer - no such luck.
I then did a Google search and checked these boards regarding alternative solutions. I tried installing through Windows printers (BTW - laptop is running XP SP2). Selected Local Printer, unchecked the automatically select box, chose standard TCP/IP, etc. - that didn't work either.
I consider myself fairly PC savvy and I am perplexed by this - just doesn't make any sense why the laptop won't detect the wireless printer.
I would greatly appreciate any guidance regarding my connectivity issue as I do NOT want to call HP Tech Support back.
One other thing, the Tech Support lady told me to reset the printer by turning it off and then having me press the pound button and the number 6 before turning it back on. Not sure why she had me do this, but it reset the ink cartridges and alignment and now the printer no longer reports how much ink is left. Any way to fix that?
Lastly, out of curiosity, why does HP recommend not leaving the wireless enabled on the printer when not using it? Doesn't make any sense to have to turn off wireless everytime after printing and then turn it back on when needing to print again.
Sorry for this long post - hopefully this is enough information for you to help me out.
Thanks in advance!
Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,
First, I have no idea why we are recommending turning off the printer's radio when you are not using it. The only thing I can image is that if you leave the radio on and in its default configuration (SSID = hpsetup, no security, Ad-Hoc), then you are susceptible to neighbors or war-drivers using your printer.
Next, you have an interesting problem. You've done everything I would have tried (check connectivity by browsing the printer's internal web page, turn off the firewall, try to manually add the printer).
I know you've disabled the firewall. I might recommend uninstalling the firewall temporarily, then installing the SW again to see if that works. Also, you might check to see that you don't have another firewall accidentally enabled (maybe the Windows firewall?).
Finally -- is there anything unusual about your wireless-router configuration? Have you set any port-forwarding or other advanced settings? BTW -- what model wireless-router are you running?
And of course there's a rather painful step to try that usually works: reinstall the OS on your laptop and then install the printer SW (I'm somewhat embarrassed to suggest this but it does seem to work).

The problem is not the router.. the issue is the vpn has put your computer in a different IP range with a different gateway. When you turn off the vpn the computer returns to local lan and can print.
Some vpn software allows you to set gateway to use local net instead of remote gateway or access to other webistes or local lan.
Read up the issue.

I did not search much.. just grabbed the first article I could find that explains the issue.
The whole point of the vpn is whilst it is connected your computer is NOT part of the Local Lan .. it is part of the Remote LAN via the vpn tunnel.
It is also a security risk using split tunnelling so often it will not be allowed.
Plug the printer directly into the computer via usb or whatever.. Local connection will work.. not local lan.

Can't print to a Canon MF 4690 wirelessly through Airport Extreme

I cannot seem to figure out why this isn't working. I just replaced a Brother printer (7 years old) that worked great wirelessly through my Airport Extreme with a Canon imageCLASS MF 4690. I found, downloaded and installed the drivers for it (10.6), but when I set up the printer, I can only print using a generic PCL driver. When I choose the Canon UFR driver, I get an error every time, when printing wirelessly or when directly connected via USB. I can see the Canon in the Airport Utility, but it won't print.
What can I do?

Welcome to the discussions, Joe P.!
+What can I do?+
You might try Apple's Printer Troubleshooting Guide to see it that provides some help.
Keep in mind that not all printers are compatible with the USB port on the AirPorts, so that may possibly be the case here if the troubleshooting steps don't provide a solution. Apple does not furnish a list of compatible printers, so unfortunately it's a process of experimentation to see your device will work with the AirPort Extreme.

My iPad has suddenly stopped receiving emails. I have tried every trick and it's still not working.

My iPad has suddenly stopped receiving emails from the mail app.
I've been looking through the forum for hours and tried every variation of deleting the account, re-adding it, rebooting my iPad etc. I've tried everything! And I still can't receive emails.
My drafts, sent emails and junk emails are all there but my inbox is empty and it's refusing to download the messages.
When I refresh it, "downloading 1 of 250" pops up for a second and then disappears and it just says it's updated yet nothing is there.
Please can someone help. This is incredibly annoying!!!
My mail provider is Yahoo and my wifi is working fine.

I have the same problem with mine... but im trying to find a way to fix it without restoring it...
but one fix is to shut it down completely ... then press and hold BOTH the power button and the home button .. hold both of those 4 ten seconds .. then release the power button but still hold down the home button .. and then it'll show something that says "connect to itunes" once u get it connected to itunes , click the restore button ... BEWARE THIS WILL WIPE OUT EVERYTHING ON YOUR IPOD!!! IT WILL RESTORE IT BACK TO FACTORY SETTINGS , AS IF U JUST BOUGHT IT !!!!! then it should work fine again .. but u will lose all data on there besides the things you have synced with itunes already..
Thats y im iffy with doing this , im trying to find a fix where i wont have 2 restore it but i dont think there is 1 :'(
good luck tho
