No scanning trough time capsule network

I have a time capsule with a airport express attached to it.
Everything works fine.
Backup
Music streams
Printing.
But my HP F2420 absolutely refuses to scan in the network.
It does scan on USB connection (so the scanner is OK)
But the software sais that there is no scanner found in the network WHILE IT SEES THE PRINTER (and thats the same machine.
Anyone a hind?

The USB ports on the Time Capsule and AirPort Express only support the printing function. Advanced functions like scan, fax, copy and maintenance are not supported.
You will need to connect your all-in-one device directly to your computer when you need the advanced functions.

How to print from windows 7 pc on time capsule network?

I added a new pc with windows 7 on my time capsule network. Existing network includes 2 macbook pros and 1 mac mini with boot camp and windows xp. I have been using the windows xp with bootcamp on the mac mini and printing from it for a couple years. We don't share files between the notebooks and mac mini, just internet access and printing. My bootcamp side got too full which is why I added the new windows pc (yuk) for my windows programs but I cannot figure out how to get the windows pc to recognize my printer connected to airport time capsule. I installed the printer software and drivers and connected it with usb and printed but when I connect the printer back to time capsule the pc doesn't see it. Also, I downloaded bonjour from apple site but still no go. Any help is appreciated. As you can probably tell, I only know enough to be dangerous. That's why I love my Macs, they just work!

The problem is you loaded the printer directly and now do not have it plugged in.. so delete the printer in the control panel.. then setup the printer again.. this time connect to it as network printer. The bonjour should make it available as a network resource..
Tell me if you still run into trouble doing that. You may need to load the IP of the TC manually..
Window7 has higher security level than xp.. and that can sometimes also cause issues.
Are you using SMB compliant names for the TC, wireless and printer??
Can the windows 7 computer get internet via the TC? Can you ping it?
Look up how to reduce the security level in windows to match xp.. I don't remember the details but you have to do some nifty footwork.

Computers on my secured time capsule network? How did they get on?

When I look at my Time Capsule network, I see two computers connected to it as well as myself: workgroup and macbook c66e5 (or something like that). I have Uverse and the TC has made its own network in bridge mode. I have also set up a WPA2 Personal password. The password is 19 characters long so I know it is very secure, yet somehow these two computers are on the network. What's weird, is that I cannot see these computers or my own computer on the network from my brother's mac, yet I can see him. Also, on my uverse network, I never see these other computers in the finder. Do I have a security problem or is this normal? Thanks in advance for your help!

I suppose access to the log is yet another thing apple removed from their toyland version 6 airport utility.. if so you will need to install 5.6.. which is a bit tricky but can be done.
Download the real utility.. not available for ML so the lion version.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Open the DMG file to see the pkg file but do not proceed further.
Download install and run unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Drag the pkg file of airport 5.6 utility over unpkg.. it will unpack it to the desktop in a directory.. AirPortUtility56, drill down, applications, utilities and you will find the actual utility.. drag it to your utilies directory. Now you have a REAL TOOL not a TOY.. Log is under advanced.
Then you will know what is happening instead of living in the darkness.

Can I add a NAS via ethernet to the Time Capsule network?

"I'm a PC," but am sick of spending all my time with Windows/Network conflicts and am getting ready to take the plunge into the Mac world (insert applause here).
My router/switch is old, and I want "n" wireless capability, so my plan here is to go whole hog and buy a Macbook Pro, an iMac, and a brand new network infrastructure including the 2TB Time Capsule. This way I will stay completely within the Apple family.
I have a Netgear ReadyNAS 2TB that I would like to have available as a second back-up drive on the network. It can only be on the network via ethernet (LAN). It cannot be plugged into the Time Capsule's USB port.
Will I be able to add this drive and get Time Capsule (and even Time Machine) to "play nice" with it? Can I even set the Time Machine on each computer to back up to this drive?
Or should I just sell the ReadyNAS and get a USB drive that will work with the time capsule?
Finally, there are only 3 ethernet ports on the TC. Can I add a switch?
Thanks for any help anyone can offer,
Shawn

It's reasonable to expect your NAS drive to work when connected to your Time Capsule network. However, it will be difficult for you to use it for Time Machine backups. Apple only supports Time Machine network backups to the disk in a Time Capsule.
It's easy to have multiple computers backing up via Time Machine to the same Time Capsule.
Or should I just sell the ReadyNAS and get a USB drive that will work with the time capsule?
That's up to you. Keep in mind that Apple still doesn't want you to use that USB drive for Time Machine backups.
Finally, there are only 3 ethernet ports on the TC. Can I add a switch?
Yes.

I want to add more capacity on hard drive of time capsule. Can i add a normal usb driver? I will see it as an external drive in the time capsule network? It will work as fast than time capsule? Thanks

Can i add a normal usb driver?
Yes, but be sure that the drive is formatted correctly for Mac in Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
I will see it as an external drive in the time capsule network?
The drive will appear as a shared network drive, like the Time Capsule.
It will work as fast than time capsule?
No, the drive will operate at about half or 50% of the speed of the Time Capsule.

I can Connect my iPhone to Time Capsule network, but I Cant get internett on it??

I can Connect my iPhone to Time Capsule network, but I Cant get internett on it??

Download 5.6 utility for Lion.. inbuilt version is hopeless.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Set TC and wireless names to short, no spaces, no special characters.. ie pure alphanumeric.
Lock the wireless to fixed channels.. only 2.4ghz matters.. as iphone cannot connect to 5ghz.
Try 6, 11 first then 1. I think bluetooth may be set to use lower channels.
That seems to have fixed it for most people.

Unable to access certain web servers after creating time capsule network

Since creating a home network with Time Capsule, there are certain web sites or servers that I am unable to connect to. The browser attempts to connect, but always gets timed out.
One site, for example is a link from my fantasy football homepage: football30.myfantasyleague.com
I have no trouble with any other site, and am able to get to the address above if I connect my Mac directly with the Cable Modem, thus bypassing the time capsule network. Also, if I use my old wireless router, I am able to access the address without problem. I am also able to ping the address on my time capsule network,
I've tried accessing this site on multiple computers (both mac and pc) through my home network and using multiple browsers (Firefox, Safari, and IE). So the problem must lie with some time capsule setting (some kind of default firewall). However, I cannot find any setting on Time Capsule or Airport utilities where I could make any adjustments or view any prohibited site access.
Does anybody know why this particular site is constantly blocked when I use the Time Capsule as my router?

hamish,
Welcome to the Apple Discussion!
I'm wondering if either or both Airport Utility & Network Prefs have proper DNS server settings. Try this
Launch Airport Utility.
Select TC on left.
Click "Manual Setup".
Select "Internet" from the toolbar above.
What's listed for "DNS Server(s):"?
Try putting in these servers from OpenDNS [http://www.opendns.com>
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Click "Update".
Your TC will restart with the new settings.
Next, launch System Prefs --> Network Prefs.
Select the service you usually connect with on the left (Airport or Ethernet).
Then click, "Advance..."
Click the "DNS" tab.
What's listed for "DNS Server(s):"?
Usually "10.0.1.1" will be listed first in gray. This refers back to the settings in the Airport Utility.
Nevertheless, it doesn't hurt to add the DNS servers noted above here as well.
Click "OK" then click "Apply".
Now see if you can access those websites again.
Cheers!

Time Capsule: "Network name no longer available" error when copying files

Hi!
I've come upon this error when trying to copy files from my PC to Time Capsule:
"Network name no longer available".
This seems to happen only on folders that have image sequences in them (.sgi image sequences).
I was planning on transferring the content of my PCs hard drive to Time-Machine in order to smooth out the migration from my old PC to my new MBP but I have to say that I'm a little less confident about using TC as a storage space for my valuable files.
Is there a work around for this? I have tons of folders with .sgi image sequences and it would be a real shame not to be able to transfer them to Time Capsule.
Please help!

Hi… I don’t think there should be any such limitation for the file transfer wirelessly. However it can be issue, as you wired is connect at a speed of 100 Mbps and wireless connects to the max at 54 Mbps. Try to upgrade the firmware. Also try reducing Fragmentation Threshold and RTS threshold by 40 each under advance wireless settings on the router. Go to www.speedguide.net, and download the TCP optimizer. Try reducing the MTU of your wireless adapter. Please Revert Back, even if this resolves your issue.

I CANNOT PRINT FROM MY IPHONE 4 TO MY BROTHER 8890DW PRINTER WHICH IS CONNECTED TO MY TIME CAPSULE/NETWORK VIA ETHERNET CABLE???

Why can’t I print from my iPhone 4 to my brother 8890dw printer which is connected to my time capsule/network via ethernet cable??? My iPhone does not even locate my printer,even though I have no problem printing from my Mac to the same printer.

Typing in all caps indicates shouting, is considered rude and is difficult to read. Many simply do not read such posts.
You would need an airprint enabled printer or an app that proides printing function.
iOS: AirPrint 101

Extend present Time Capsule network with an Extreme

I currently have a wireless network in my house using a Time Capsule that is connected to the modem in the office. I bought a Blu-Ray player that is connected to my TV in the living room, and if I plug it directly in to a router using an ethernet cable, I can stream movies to my TV. Sooooo.....I found the old Airport Extreme I used before I bought the Time Capsule, and I would like to use it to extend my network to the living room. I have the Extreme plugged in right now by the BLu-Ray player, and the name I used for the old Extreme network is showing up on my laptop, as well as the new Time Capsule network. The Extreme is blinking amber. What do I need to do to just add this Extreme as an extension of my network so I can connect it to my Bu-Ray via a ethernet. Thanks.

Since you have the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), you can take advantage of the "extend a network" feature.
o If practical, place the base stations in near proximity to each other during the setup phase. Once done, move them to their desired locations.
o Open AirPort Utility and select the base station that will connect to the Internet.
o Choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open the configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
o Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then click Wireless.
o Choose “Create a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then select the “Allow this network to be extended” checkbox.
o Next, select the base station that will extend this network, and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open its configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
o Choose “Extend a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then choose the network you want to extend from the Network Name pop-up menu.
o Enter the base station network and base station password is necessary.
o Click Update to update the base station with new network settings.

Time Capsule Network Freezes and Locks Up

I have been having major streaming issues to my Apple TV for a few months now.
Basically, the streaming performance is poor, and after 20 or 30 minutes, the movie that is playing freezes, then the entire wireless network created by the Time Capsule stops working. Anything hooked up via Ethernet however still does work. Only the Time Capsule Network fails. This happens every time I reboot the Time Capsule. I have also started over and reset the device.
I had Apple replace the Time Capsule (gen I, 500 gig), and had my cable company replace my modem. Neither one of these things solved the problem at all. It is still happening.
I have the cable modem running into the Time Capsule, then the Time Capsule runs into a router that sends wired ethernet through various points in the house (although at this time only 1 compute is still hard wired).
I have no idea what is causing this. Could this be an Apple TV issue? Why would it cause the entire network to crash?

The issue was resolved ages ago but I don't remember how....... sorry.

Time capsule network AND modem possible with maverick?

Hey all. At home I have a small time capsule network at home and use a Huawei modem to connect to the internet. Since the update to mavericks it is impossible to run both at the same time. Now I have to choose between internet connection (Huawei) and my local network (time caps). How can I connect to them both at the same time again? Thanks.

Hi, jackthebulldog. Welcome to the forums!
What happens if you enter 192.0.32.10 into Safari's address bar? Does it still load the Comcast activation page, or does it go to a page with some text about "example.com"?

MacBook and Time Capsule Network Drops!

Hi All,
I Owned my MacBook for 1 year now it is running 10.5.4 and everything is up to date and recently I bought Time Capsule, Well ever since my mac drops the connection randomly every day, just out of the blue. It trys to reconnect but drops and fails multiple times until all of a sudden it work normally again. I don't understand it. I have a Motorola Router/Modem connected to my Time Capsule. I have Road Runner. I also have noticed a significant decrease in speed of the internet when connected to Time Capsule using my MacBook, eMac, iPhone, iPod touch, and other computers. It should have been faster supposedly 5x faster. Now im not discounting Apple, I think there is an issue with mine. Please any suggestions would help.
Thank You

Hello I had the same issue with TC then just to try things out I scanned for wireless networks around my home and I picked a channel on TC that no other network around had; in my case channel 9. Ever since, I have had no disconnects from TC and no other problems. hope this helps.

Has ANYONE got a printer to work on Time Capsule network?

I've tried two different printers and neither work with Time Capsule. I've checked this community and most state they cannot get the printer to work. Is there any secret to get this working. I just bought Time Capsule and I bought it mainly for printer to work on network. Is this just ANOTHER feature that Apple claims to work. . . but it doesn't?

Did you actually "install" the printer when it was connected to the USB port on the Time Capsule?
By that, I mean.....follow the steps (Page 17-18) in the Setup Manual for the Time Capsule?
Connect the printer to the USB port on the Time Capsule and power it up
Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
Open Print & Scan
Click the + (plus) button at the bottom of the printer list on the left
If your printer is supported, it's name or a similar model will appear in the next window
Click the name of the printer to highlight it
Click Add at the lower right
Try to print
You have to select the correct printer "location". If you previously installed the printer when it was connected to your Mac, it will appear as if you have two of the same printers.
A closer inspection will reveal that one is located at the Mac and the other is located at the Time Capsule.
You have to chose the correct "location" at the Time Capsule. You may need to restart the printer as well.
Most printers will work.
But, if you have an All-in-One type device.....only the print function will work. Other functions like scan, copy, maintenance, etc are not supported.
That's not Apple's fault. The printer manufacturers have not provided full function drivers for network USB connections.
If you have an All-in-One, or are shopping for one, you need a "network" device as LaPastenague mentions. If the All-in-One connects using wireless only, or using Ethernet, you will have full functionality over the network.
