My wifi printer is not recognised after installing airport extreme

Hi,
I have recently changed internet provider and took the opportunity to change router. I removed a netgear modem/router and installed a Draytek Vigor120 modem and Apple AirPort Extreme. My existing wifi HP all in one printer (which was working normal before change) is no longer recognised. I want to use the USB port on the extreme for an external hard drive so don't want to connect the printer to it. Any solutions? I am using an imac with OS X 10.8.3.

Well the printer wont be recognized until it has been connected to the new wifi. Most wifi printers use either an LCD screen on them or software that came with them. You will likely need to reconfigure the printer so that it can connect to your new network.

  • Trouble with Maya 8.5 after installing Airport Extreme

    Installed Airport Extreme 802.11n a couple weeks ago - using OS 10.4 on an iMac and 10.3 on G4 Quicksilver.

    Is Autodesk license manager unable to recognize computer with network setup?
    Thanks for any help.

    Maya not being able to recognize the license dat file will not cause Maya to lock up or crash. Have you run a Maya crash log to confirm what is causing this? Since upgrading from Tiger to Leopard I also upgraded to Maya 2008 (don't know why Autodesk didn't call it 9.0..lol) from 8.5. I haven't experienced any system crashes on Leopard, even on the MacBook Pro (Core 2 Duo 2.33 GHz, 3 GB RAM, ATI X1600). Note: I'm also using the AEBS in the SOHO and no issues with the license server.

  • Zen Micro not recognised after installing Media Player 11 Bet

    Can anyone help?
    I've updated Windows Media Player 0 to version Beta 2 and now my Zen Micro (Firmware 2.2.02 Playforsure) isn't recognised anyway on my system.
    I've tried to re-install the CD but this doesn't do anything. I've download all the updates I can find on Creative's website and that does nothing.
    I can't even use the Zen Micro MTP exlorer as this has disappeared off my system.
    I'm running Windows XP SP2.
    HELP!

    The problem will be the same I would think because the issue is that the player is an older one, so WMP does not recognise it. Unless they change it in te full version, which is probably only a slim chance, you will still need to download the hotfix and the other update.
    But if i were you i wait for the full version anyway, the Beta 2 is better but still far from perfect...

  • Kernal panics after installing AIRPORT EXTREME PCI 54M WIFI CARD

    hi all - after reading around the forums - i bought this off ebay
    AIRPORT EXTREME PCI 54M WIFI CARD /APPLE POWERMAC G3&G4
    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=37 0157697386#ht1341wt892
    but when i boot up i all i get is the screen of death - kernal panic - and need to reboot to another kernal panic
    i have tried it in slots 2-5 and the result is the same - i have now taken it out and the machine boots fine.
    I am keen to use it as a media streamer for appletv - have i bought the wrong card or is there something i can try/do?
    as always - thanks in advance

    Hi-
    I would consider the problem to possibly be incompatibility with Leopard.
    The seller states 10.2/10.3/10.4 "and above", but does this include 10.5x? Leopard is not specifically mentioned. "And above" could mean up to 10.4.11.......
    If you have a drive with OS 10.4x on it, try booting to that volume with the card.
    If it works, then it's an OS incompatibility.
    If it doesn't, then the card is the problem.
    Biggest problem, is it looks like some generic brand. Not knowing the maker really makes trouble shooting difficult.
    Is is a Broadcom chipset?
    While generic Broadcom chipset cards worked well up through 10.4.11, Leopard seems to have "broken" that generic support that was previously enjoyed, for at least some of those chips. Seems to be an "era" related thing......
    If the chipset is Atheros, the previously successful Orangeware driver also doesn't work in Leopard.

  • Canon  MP 620 not recognised since new airport extreme

    I've been successfully using a Canon MP620 printer and scanner wirelessly for about six months but then my old Buffalo AirStation gave up the ghost and I replaced it with a new Airport Extreme. It was a joy to get something out of the box, plug it in and have everything work from the moment I switched it on. The only problem is the Canon has disappeared and I cannot get it to appear either wirelessly or as a USB device. I have tried just connecting it to one computer by a USB cable but it's just not being detected.
    We have three MacBook Pro's in the family on airport, a MacPro and an old G4 that connect by cable, oh, and er...a Dell PC. We are running a mix of 10.5.8 and 10.6.1. The main MacBook Pro that was used originally to set up the wireless system is still on 10.5.8.
    The Canon still has the same settings in it that it had before. I have downloaded the latest driver from Canon but when I get to the point where it scans for printers nothing comes up whether I set it to USB or Network.
    I am so frustrated as it was working so well before.
    Any ideas anyone?

    Hello and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    To add the MP620 on Mac OS X 10.5 as a networked wired or wireless printer, you need to select More Printers > Canon IJ Network. For Mac OS X 10.6, you add the network printer via the Default browser view. But there is every chance that the MP620 is not connected to your new Airport, so you will need to run the network setup tool again.
    To configure the network settings in the printer, you will have to connect the MP620 to your Mac or PC via USB. This will let you open the Canon IJ Printer Utility, which lets you configure the network settings. Since this is a Mac forum, I will detail the Mac procedure.
    With the printer connected via USB, open Print & Fax and select the MP620 in the list. If you haven't had the MP620 connected to this Mac previously via USB, then it may take a while for the printer to appear in this list. If it hasn't appeared after 30 seconds, then click + to add the printer. Select the MP620 shown as a USB device. At the point when you select to Add, you may be prompted that the printer is already installed. If so, just cancel the install. If not, continue the procedure.
    With the USB printer queue selected, open the print queue and click the Utility icon. This will open the Canon IJ Printer Utility. This will show you the USB attached MP620. Select it and press the Network Settings button. This will open the Canon IJ Network Tool that will guide you through adding the MP620 to your new network.
    Once the network setup process has completed, you can turn the MP620 off and disconnect the USB cable. Then when you turn the power back on, the printer should now be connected to your wireless network allowing you to add it as a network printer.
    On 10.5, with Print & Fax open, click to Add and then select More Printers > Canon IJ Network.
    On 10.6, open Print & Fax and click to Add. Select the Default browser view.
    In both cases the MP620 should be visible, allowing you to select it and add it as a network printer.
    Hopefully this gets you printing again. Please reply if you need more help.

  • PowerMac G4 (FW 800) Won't Start After Installing Airport Extreme Card!

    After installing an Airport Extreme Card in my G4 FW 800, the computer will not Chime or Start Up; shortly thereafter, the Fan begins to Run erratically.
    Without the Airport Card installed, the CPU runs normal, with the exception of the clock needing to be reset.
    Any help is Greatly Appreciated! -Nico

    Hey Tom, thanks for the response. I have tried holding Command-Option-R-P down (resetting the PRAM) at startup with no avail. I have also pressed the PMU button with and without the Airport Card installed. Still no luck. I am pretty stumped. I ran a hardware check on the machine, and it has come back successful without the card.
    The previous owner installed an extra internal HD and some memory. I have since installed a new PCI graphics card. Do you think these have anything to do with it?

  • Blank screen on my eMac after installing Airport Extreme Card

    I just bought and installed (the right way, I checked) the Airport Extreme card on my eMac G4 desktop and at first the computer couldn't find it at all and after restarting several times, now the computer turns on but the screen is absolutely blank. I took the card out and restarted and it came on just fine. Can the card be affecting the screen? ANy help appreciated, I have no idea on this one.

    This symptom is commonly seen when the Airport card is not FULLY seated into its socket. It can take a fair bit of force to do this.

  • Airplay icon missing on iMac after installing airport extreme

    Can't get my iMac to display the airplay icon after changing to the AirPort Extreme wireless router.
    Previous Setup: 
    Cable Modem ->LinkSys Wireless Router -> AirPort Express for Home Stereo access using Airplay
              Accessed Airplay from iPhone 5S, iPad, iMac - all worked
    NEW Setup:
    Replaced old wireless router with Airport Extreme
    Cable Modem -> Airport Extreme -> Airport Express for Airplay on home speaker system
    Airport Utility (v 6.3.2) see's both the Airport Extreme and the Airport Express
    The Airport Express is in Network Mode of :Join a wireless network.  My AirPort Extreme wifi network is Why Phi
    The Airplay option is selected
    My iMac does not see the airplay option in the menu bar.
    Note:  The Airplay icon used to show up on my iMac before I had the AirPort Extreme. 
    My iPhone 5s see's the AirPort Express for airplay, and plays the music fine.
    The display for my iMac is flagged to show for AirPlay but it doesn't see any devices.
    If you know what I have missed, please let me know!  I loved the AirPlay option from my iMac, and would really like to get it back!

    The AirPlay icon within iTunes appears when iTunes "discovers" that an active AirPlay-ready "speaker" is available on the network. In this case the speaker would be your AirPort Express base station.
    It may be possible that the Express has not properly joined the Wi-Fi network provided by the new Extreme base station.
    Anytime you change networking hardware it is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle of that hardware. Check out the following AirPort User Tip for details. Please post back your results.

  • Can I add a WiFi printer through WPS with the new AirPort Extreme and AirPort Utility 6.3?

    It says here that AirPort Utility 6.2 supports WPS-capable WiFi printers, but on the new AirPort Extreme techs pecs Apple insists that the way printing is shared is by connecting the printer to the AirPort Extreme with a USB cable, which really defeats the whole purpose of WiFi printing doesn't it?
    Does the new Airport Extreme support WPS-capable printing? Does AirPort Utility 6.3 support it?

    Does the new Airport Extreme support WPS-capable printing?
    Yes
    Does AirPort Utility 6.3 support it?
    Yes

  • Problems after installing Airport Extreme Update 2008-001

    ever since I installed the Airport Extreme update 2008-001 my internet connection has been dropping and it's so frustrating. I normally wait and don't install updates immediately after they are released. I installed this one and now my internet connection keeps dropping.
    Anyone have any suggestions??

    Same scenario here, though I'm running 10.4.9. on a Mac Pro. I've tried every known fix, but Safari still stalls every few minutes - taking upwards of a minute to continue loading whatever page I was browsing to.
    Other apps, including Mail, Firefox, and Remote Desktop screen sharing aren't affected - I can ping away without issue while Safari is choking, and there is no unusual Safari CPU consumption in Activity Monitor

  • Cant restart MBP1.83 after installing AirPort Extreme Update 2007-001, Help

    Today I have installed that update on my macbook pro 1.83 mghz as the only update available, accordingly to apple software update utility. After a succesfull download and preinstallation, when I have restarted a lot of unix command lines appeared on a black screen. Then restarted again and the same thing happened (command lines stopping at a empty line). After a hard restart, the system tries to start but it stays on fisrt screen (apple logo with round timer keeping rotating).
    Help please!!! and be carefull anyone who tries to install this patch. Thanks!
    PS: I have tried disk check and permissions test and everything is ok, the problem continues
    Macbook Pro 1.83mghz   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   2Gb Ram

    You cant have a macbook pro 1.83 you must just have a normal macbook 1.83ghz processor. The lowest model of macbook pro has a 2.16ghz processor. I currently have a 2.0Ghz macbook core duo machine and after installing the airport update the machine restarted then came up with a dialog box instead of booting the os saying that i should do a hard restart in order for everything to work properly so once i did a hard restart by holding down the power button till the machine went off everything has worked fine so far.
