Print delay with time capsule - multiple printers

Hi
I have the print delay problem with my Samsung ML-1510 but have 2 printers connected by USB through the TC. The second printer prints well (Canon i865). Any idea how the requests could be directed to the correct printer using the set up by IP setting so I can set up the ML-1510 to print in a timely fashion? When trying the print via IP setting I can't get any output at all from the Samsung! I have not tried to set up the Canon to print via IP as it prints well via bonjour.
Thanks

What driver you use?
My ML-1510 not print by Bonjour,
not by Protocol: HP Jetdirect - Socket..
Drivers I try:
Samsung ML-1510, 1.1.0
ML-1510_700
TC & iMac last update..
Thanx.

  • Print delay with Time Capsule

    Hello,
    Got the TC hooked up and did a backup for 3 macs around the house. That worked fine. Wireless speeds are good.
    However, printing isn't quite up to speed. When I print a document (for example a single sheet of text) it takes between 5 and 20 minutes to come out of the printer.
    My three computers have all finished their initial back-up and are all essentially sitting idle, so I don't think the TC is especially busy.
    I uninstalled and re-installed the printer (Brother ML-2010 - TC had no problem 'seeing' it), did all the software updates (10.5.2), turned the printer off/on, etc.
    Any ideas? Having the printer fire up and print 20 minutes after hitting the print button is kind of odd.
    thanks,

    I had success with getting a Samsung ML-1630 to print via Time Capsule this way:
    *Plug printer to TC using USB cable.
    *Check what services TC is advertising for your printer using a program like Bonjour Browser.
    *Look for a Printer PDL Data Stream - see what IP it is advertised on, should be the IP of your TC - usually 10.0.1.1 or 192.168.1.1, with a port number of 9100.
    *Set up a new printer in Print & Fax panel by clicking the "+" button
    --then click the "IP" icon in the panel that appears
    --choose settings as Protocol: HP Jetdirect - Socket
    --enter the IP address of your TC that you found above (leave the port number off)
    --leave the queue name blank (those with multiple USB printers connected will want to experiment with this)
    --you can set name and location as you like
    --select other driver and navigate to the appropriate PPD from /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/
    Your new printer should work as long as you don't change the internal IP of your TC. (As far as I can tell, the reason this works is that is avoids the flakey riousbprint service, forcing the Mac to print to the Jetdirect socket on port 9100. This would also explain why some posters are able to print from Windows machines but not Macs - avoiding mDNS/Bonjour/Zero-Conf is more stable, in my experience.)
    Note that this setup will not necessarily allow you to print to your home printer from elsewhere on the internets, so if that's your goal, this may not be the solution for you.
    Note also that I consider this a workaround at best - not a solution (hint... firmware update... hint...)

  • Why can't I print wireless with Time Capsule anymore?

    I have an Epson Stylus Photo 1280 that I have been printing wireless with for many years by plugging it in to the USB port on the back of the Time Capsule. Not anymore.
    I have a MacBook Pro running the latest OS as well as the latest model Time Capsule running the latest software from Apple. I have tried using Airport Utility 5.6 which sees the printer plugged in. But when I try to add the printer to the Print & Scan system preferences, it shows up but says:
    Software for this printer is available from Apple. Would you like to download and install it?
    When I click "Download and Install" it searches for the software but then tells me:
    The software for this printer is currently unavailable. Please contact the printer’s manufacturer for the latest software.
    When I plug the printer directly into my MBP, I can add the printer and print without any problems.  Per Epson, I have the latest software for my printer, so I'm not sure why Apple needs to search for the software and download it in order for me to print using the Time Capsule.
    Like I said before, this all use to work flawlessly. I'm assuming all the updates have "broken" something.
    Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions.

    Well, I solved my problem.
    I deleted the EPSON folder in Library/Printers as well as Library/Cache and installed the EPSON driver via Softwar Update.
    Everything is working fine now.

  • Printer Problem with Time Capsule

    So here's The Problem. I have set up a complex network in our house. The internet comes from a phone line which is then plugged into a belkin N1 vision router. There is another wire coming out of the router and into a Time Capsule which broadcasts the internet, printing and file sharing around the house. We have three computers in the house: A windows XP desktop, a Macbook Pro, and a windows 7 laptop. Both laptops can connect to the network just fine, with wireless printing, but the desktop can connect to the internet fine, but when printing prints out junk. The steps i have taken to stop this are as follows:
    Re-install drivers
    install Bonjour
    Install AirPort Utility
    Restart computer, and printer
    change various wires in the network
    i know its a long question but i need help, PS the printer is a photosmart 8150

    Hi djmaq,
    Your English is fine and easy to understand.
    I am experiencing the same problem with a Vista PC and a Epson RX595 connected directly to a TimeCapsule. It started printing the page, stopped halfway through, and then finished printing the page and started printing MANY other pages with just "hieroglyphics" in random spots. I had to pull out the pages and cancel the print job.
    I'm going to work on it more this weekend, but if anyone has similar experience and has successfully found a resolution, it would be greatly appreciated.

  • Cannot print with time capsule?

    We just bought the Time Capsule and the wireless printer works from the MacAirBook but not from the IPAD2 and also not from our new IMAC....

    Sandra2012-
    I have had no problem printing through my Time Capsule.  I have also tried several other model Apple AirPorts with success.
    Note that your MacBook Air and iMac do not use AirPrint.  They use the printer's native printing language.  For printing to work on the iPad, your printer must be compatible with AirPrint.  See <http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356> for a list of compatible printers.
    If your printer is not on that list, your best option may be to share your computer's printer as AirPrint over WiFi.  Programs such as Printopia and FingerPrint can do that, and are reported to work well.
    As far as your iMac is concerned, try deleting and re-adding the printer.

  • Remote print with time capsule

    Hello,
    I setup the time capsule so that I have access from remote over the apple-id.
    Connection and access to files on the time capsule works very well.
    Now I would like to print a document remote over the time capsule.
    Is it possible without direct connection of the printer to the time capsule?
    The printer got an IP address by the time capsule and when I am not remote it is possible to print via air play.
    Thank you!
    Regards, PK

    Here are some troubleshooting articles. I'd start with Pondini:

    Have you tried using Airport Utility to see if you can see the Time Capsule?
    FWIW - I have 4 Time capsules on an in-house ethernet network and they all work as they are supposed to.
    Pjot84 - Is local network hooked directly to the computer?  Probably my dense head, but I'm not sure I understand you.

  • Epson Print Servers compatible with Time Capsule?

    First up: I'm no techie. Epson tells me I will need an Epson print server to enable me to print wirelessly on my ADSL-Time Capsule 500GB (7.3.2)-Airport (5.3.2) network, using an Epson DX8400, which they tell me doesn't support network printing: so far so bad (& so much for the cheap all-in-one printer). Can anyone tell me (if there is no other way of achieving wireless printing) if the Epson print servers are compatible with Time Capsule? I don't have the tech spec to hand, but there are only 3 PSs on the Epson website, 2 of which appear to be the same but vary by a few pounds in price (about GBP150). This was an expense I didn't want, but if I can print wirelessly (AND IT WORKS!) I will pay it, because I want to get a desktop model as well soon & will want to print wirelessly from that as well. I have posted this to the Time Capsule forum as well, but any help gratefully received. Thanks in advance.

    yep am using a  usb hub,time cap. has only the one usb port- yes two usb outs on the hard drive , sorry, which merge into one into the hd, is bus powered...

  • Printing on shared printer with Time Capsule

    I've got a question on how to print on a shared USB printer with the Time Capsule. I think the answer is that I'm doing it wrong and expecting the impossible.
    The typical set up, I think, is Time Capsule plugged into computer, printer plugged into Time Capsule, and then all parties in the wireless network can print. Right?
    I've got my Time Capsule in the basement (that's where the cable modem is) and it shoots off a nice strong signal to the 2nd floor and does our backups nicely. The printer is plugged into my husband's iMac. My iMac can see the printer and acts like it has access to it. But nothing happens when I try to print.
    Is this simply because the printer must be plugged into the Capsule and there is no other way about it?
    Thanks.

    Please excuse me for jumping in on the party but I'm kind of in a fix. I just installed a time capsule. I can print from my PC (which is hard wired via Ethernet to the TC) to the USB printer connected directly to TC (HP F380). However when I print from my ACER PC through wireless it prints only 75% of the page then the printer freezes. If it's a 2 page document, it'll print 1 page then only 75% of the 2nd page. I tried reinstalling a new HP driver and Bonjour but without joy. Does anybody have any suggestions? Any help would be much appreciated. After solving this problem my next step would be to actually invest in an IMAC! Being an ex IBM'er I finally feel the need for change!

  • Use Network ready printer with Time Capsule?

    Recently bought a laser all in one Canon printer that was network ready. Canon tech support told me it would not be compatible with Time Capsule (500 GB) as the wireless source. Is this true?
    If true, what printer brands will network easily with the Time Capsule?
    Thank you!
    In search of new printer

    Welcome to the discussions!
    If the all-in-one is "network ready", it will have an ethernet port to connect to the network. It will need to connect by ethernet if you want to be able to use the scan, fax, copy, etc functions.
    If you are planning to connect the all-in-one to the Time Capsule USB port, the printing function will work if the device is compatible. The other functions will not be supported.

  • I connected my Canon printer to time capsule, and can print OK. However, I can't get the printer scanner to work. How do you set up the scanner with Time Capsule?

    I connected my Canon printer to time capsule, and can print OK. However, I can't get the printer scanner to work. How do you set up the scanner with Time Capsule?

    You cannot use USB. It has to be a network capable printer.. is it?? You did not indicate how it is connected.. but by wireless or ethernet then scanning is possible otherwise not.

  • Use airport express wireless printing with time capsule

    I want to add airport express to my time capsule network to take advantage of wireless printing. I have set my AE to join my existing wireless network and connected my printer to the USB port. I logged into AE through Airport Utility and clicked on the printer pane. It shows my usb printer is connected to the AE. Then I went to system preferences to set my print and fax settings to share over network.
    I thought this is correct, but when I click print it tells me the printer is offline. Am I missing a step? I would connect the printer to my time capsule but I need my printer in a different part of the house. Thanks for you help!!

    You have your printer installed at two different locations. To confirm, open System Preferences and then click Print & Fax.
    You should see your printer listed twice in the printer list on the left.
    One is your printing installed at your computer and the other is your printer installed at the AirPort Express.
    When you open a document to print, you have to choose the printer that you want to use. You may still be choosing the printer at your computer. Look for the printer at the Express. If you intend to use the printer at the Express most of the time, you might want to make that your default printer so you don't have to select a device each time you print.
    For more info on printing issues, see the Apple Printer Troubleshooting Guide.
    Keep in mind that not all printers are compatible, even though they may appear connected to your device. If you work your way through the guide and still cannot print, then that's likely the explanation.

  • WIreless Printing with Time Capsule.

    Peripheral info:
    MacBookPro 17" early 09; 10.5.8
    Printer: Canon Pixma MP480
    Time Capsule Dual-Band 7.4.2 firmware, uptodate AirPort Utility
    For some reason when adding the printer using my 17" uMBP it sees the printer but no drivers specifically attached to the printer...i tried searching the built in drivers for the printer but no luck.
    I dont ever plan on using the copying or scanning functionality of this printer on this comptuer and i dont really feel the need to isntall the included software, so im wondering if the drivers for printing via Wifi/Time Capsule are included or do i have to actually install the drives for this printer for it to work over the network?
    With a printer sepcifically provided by apple that illustrates and advertises just a plug and play wihtout install excess drivers...
    thanks!

    Hi Frank,
    It looks like you can get the driver from Canon's website without all of the bloatware that usually comes with the "suite."
    http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=2610&m odelid=17160#DownloadDetailAct
    Bonjour will typically see the printer when it's connected via the TC but you'll see need the drivers to be present on the machine before you're able to print to the device. I recommend setting up the printer to where it works via USB when wired to the machine and then move it over to the TC.

  • Wireless printing with time capsule 1tb and new wireless all in one printer

    I am having problems with printing wirelessly from my time capsule 1tb. I currently have a hp 5510v office all in one printer and drivers can not be found to support printing wirelessly however it can print via usb. What I need is help in picking out a new all in one printer that can print wirelessly from time capsule 1tb. Please help

    Hi,
    my hp photosmart C6180 all in one works flawlessly with it plugged in to my time capsule all functions.
    I used to have it set up using it wirelessly from the printer however for some reason after a update (i think) it stopped working & would not print so had to plug in to time capsule.

  • Cannot Add Printer Attached to Time Capsule

    I upgraded to Lion on my MacBook and have since not been able to print over the network using Time Capsule. I have a Canon MP520 attached to a 500GB dual band time capsule. I have cleared all the printers from system preferences to start fresh. Under Print and Scan in System Preferences, I click the '+' button to add a printer. Like you would expect, the Canon MP520 appears under nearby devices. When I select this option, a pop up explains that software for the printer is available from Apple. Each time I click 'download and install', I get a progress bar that searches for the software and an error that the software is unavailable and to check with the manufacturer. Cool.
    I have downloaded and installed several versions of Canon Printer Utility and the firmware. Everything I can find. When I click '+' to add the printer, it does the same thing and I cannot figure out how to add my own firmware. Finally, I try to quickly set it up through Pages. I get to an "add printer" page that has default fax ip and windows options at the top. It displays my printer as a Bounjour device. It gives me the option to select which printer software to use. When I click on "select printer software..." it gives me a pop up window and no software is found.
    This is really frustrating and like I said I have had no problems up until now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello Stuart and welcome to the discussions.
    Let's assume that the HP5550 is compatible with Time Capsule (TC). I'm not familiar with that particular model, but bear in mind that TC will not support scanning and other advanced features if you have an all in one type of model.
    Work your way through the troubleshooting guide from Apple.
