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?

  • I am not able to print to my usb airport extreme attached printer from my windows aptop or window desktop

    Your post did not really provide any details on what you have done in the way of troubleshooting or printer software that you have installed, so we don't have much to go on here.
    For starters though, you will not be able to print unless you have installed Bonjour Print Services for Windows v2.0.2 on the PC(s) and run the program.
    So, if you have not done this, that would be a good first step.

  • Can you access an external HD plugged into the Airport Extreme from a remote location over the internet?

    Can you access an external HD plugged into the Airport Extreme from a remote location over the internet?
    Also can the content on the exteral HD plugged into the airport be accessed by the TV to stream content?

    The first question answer is yes..
    The question is asked continually.. please read the methods that Tesserax wrote up so well.
    See remote access tip here.
    AirPort
    Also can the content on the exteral HD plugged into the airport be accessed by the TV to stream content?
    Unlikely .. because your TV uses a system called DLNA.. and Apple do not support DLNA in any way shape or form.. because they are fully committed to iTunes.. Apple routers have no media extensions.. unlike most other decent brands now which mostly do support multimedia.
    Having said that.. you can place your video files on the external hard disk.. and play them.. but you need a player.. a real player not an apple TV which is a streamer.. eg A WD Live TV can play video files.. because it is a media player.. unlike your TV or apple TV.

  • HT2844 My front headphone jack does not work when connecting a head phone to a new mac pro desktop computer.  The sound still comes from the speakers.  Any solutions?

    The front headphone jack on my new mac pro desktop computer does not transmit sound when connecting a headphone or ear buds.  The sound still comes from the speakers and is not redirected to the head phone.  The port has never worked.  Any solutions?

    okay, try option-clicking on the speaker icon on the top of your screen. That should bring up a list of sound output options. including headphone. You could try messing around with Audio MIDI. It may be possible that the thing is still stuck inside the headphone jack. Careful use of a toothpick may get it unstuck. I dunno, I've never had a problem with the headphone jack. If all else fails, call Apple or take 'er in for an appointment

  • I can't use Time Machine with a USB drive plugged into an Airport Extreme.

    I connected an external drive to the USB port of an Airport Extreme, intending to use it with Time Machine and one of the laptops in the Wi-Fi network (call it Laptop). The drive is visible from the Disks tab of each computer’s Airport Utility but from nowhere else, in particular not to Laptop’s Time Machine preference.
    Laptop is relatively new and arrived with Mavericks. Time Machine used to work on Laptop before I upgraded the rest of the network (a desktop Mac Pro and another laptop) from OS X 10.6 to Mavericks.
    The drive is formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). I have tried other external hard drives, with the same behavior. The desktop correctly use Time Machine to back up its internal drive to another internal drive. Another possibly relevant factor is that our DSL connection has recently been upgraded, and now uses a 2Wire modem that provides its own router, so Airport Utility’s Network Router Mode is set to “Off (Bridge Mode)”.
    I would be grateful for suggestions of what to try next.

  • Iphoto 11 on MT Lion can not find my iphoto library after a a hard drive replacement and restore from time machine...HELP

    I have an iMac with the recalled seagate drives and I have everything backed up on Timecapsule and on Carbonite. I also copied all my photos to a file prior to having the hard drive replaced. The merge back to the mac worked well except that now iphot can't locate my library. In iphoto 11 they moved it out of the pictures file and it is hidden. Does anyone know how to find it so I don't have to reorganize 20,000 pictures?
    Thank you!

    In iphoto 11 they moved it out of the pictures file and it is hidden.
    They didn't, I'm afraid. The iPhoto Library is still stored in the Pictures Folder by default, and it's not hidden.
    Can you see it in Time Machine?

  • Pages does not find my printer

    I can print from my iPad using Print n Share for all documents except those created in Pages, so I know my printer is configured correctly. However, when I try to print a document from Pages it  says no printer found.    As it is now I have to email the document to myself and then use Print n Share to print it. I should be able to print directly from Pages. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Robert-
    You are way ahead of me as far as the Command + K is concerned.  I couldn't find a Command key on the iPad's on-screen keyboard!  I believe :8081 is a port number.  You might try leaving off the :8081 and see if it makes a difference.  Another possibility is that the printer somehow lost its IP address and then received a different number via DHCP.  Check again with HP iPrint to see if it still finds the printer at the same address.
    I have a Macintosh computer running Snow Leopard.  I found an AppleScript script that adds a small text file to a hidden folder on the Mac, that allows the mac to share its printer as AirPrint over WiFi.  I found the information at:
    <http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2658720&tstart=0>
    I did not remove the printer from my Mac's list of printers.  Instead, I added a second occurrence of the same printer with a name like "AirPrint Shared".

  • Can not connect to the internet with an airport extreme,

    Here is the setup. Motorola modem to airport extreme. Laptop and desktops all have airport cards installed. Cable provider is comcast. Here is the problem. Using the airport extreme, I can not get my homepage. All I get is a help page. If I disconnect the airport and hook up my old d-link wireless router, everything is fine. Called apple support, what a joke. they won't help until I pay another $100.00 bucks for applecare. Comcast says it is an apple problem. the thing that tweaks me the most is that I just shelled out $210.00 for a router that I can't get any support on. What a joke . Aside from my dissatisfaction with apple, anybody think they can help?

    hello, i have had this problem twice with comcast. Once when i set up a new service in a new address and once when they confused my old servicewith my new service. This is both an Apple problem and a Comcast problem no matter what they say. I found after talking to both Apple and Comcast, that the easiest solution was to #1 make sure you have the latest firmware version for your airport. #2 unplug both modem and Airport. Wait a while then plug modem in first,, let it cycle, plug in Airport, let it cyce, then reboot your computer. If that failes try a soft reset of your airport base station by pushing the little button in the back. If that all failes call comcast and make sure your account isnt in a "regestration" phase. They can reset your modem from their end also. hope it helps. Good luck. They fixed my system twice so they should have no problem getting you fixed either.

  • How do I download Photoshop for windows xp and vista.... I currently pay per month for photoshop and a computer running vista i ned to install photoshop on two aditional machines. How can I download, photoshop says I have an os that is no longer supported

    I have a computer running windows vista that I pay per month for photoshop, I want to use photoshop on two other computers I have, not that it matters but they are both identical hardware wise, and software one runs xp and the other runs vista, I can upgrade but I am not intrested in other os. When I attempt to download I am told that my os is no longer supported. Now i know that I could find an offline version and should be able to get it installed but im not sure of a safe site that provides the iso or install exe. I want to use the other two computers because they have touch interface early computer/tablet highbird. thanks in advance.

    Michaelt65951582 I am sorry but you will need to run at least the minimum operating system to use Photoshop.  You can find the system requirements at System requirements | Photoshop.  I would recommend upgrading to Windows 7 or later.  You may find that your computer can support the more recent operating system depending upon the hardware installed.
