Print from USB printer connected to router using iPad

I have Canon Pixma MP198 printer which has only USB. This printer is connected to my D'link router using a USB cable.
Can I print documents wirelessly from my iPad 2? Without the need to turn on my PC if I want to print?
Any app suggestions are also welcomed!
This printer does not support airprint.
Thanks

I have tried that app. It does not work.
I am actually trying to print using a printer from (ex: http://192.168.1.1:631/printers/Printer). How can I do this?
I can do this on a Windows but not on my iPad.
Please help.

  • Cant use by WLAN an USB Printer connected to Router

    Hello, Please help my by solving this Problem. I have connected a USB Printer to a Router. The Router recognizes the Printer an shows a Connection. But I cant use the Printer from my MacBook Pro by IP over WLAN. Can somebody help?

    Hi ColinR,
    Looking at the specifications of your BT HomeHub 3 I see that it does not support MAC spooling. To test for sure we can try connecting the printer directly to your Mac which would prove that the printers network function along with the USB function are working.
    We need to restore your network defaults. On page 129 of your User Guide it explains how to restore the network defaults
    To reset the printer's network settings
    1. Touch (right arrow), touch Setup, and then touch Network. Touch Restore
    Network Defaults, and then touch Yes. A message appears stating that the network
    defaults have been restored.
    2. Touch (right arrow), touch Setup, touch Reports, and then touch Print Network
    Configuration Page to print the network configuration page and verify that the
    network settings have been reset.
    Then follow these steps to connect your printer directly to your computer.
    Put the computer on the printers network (temporary)
    Click on the air port symbol on the top left side of the Mac screen
    Choose the network that look relative to the printer (might say HP setup or some variation of the printer name)
    Find the IP address on the test report we printed.
    Open an internet browser (Safari) and enter the IP address into the URL (address bar).
    Click on the network tab, on the left click on wireless or 802.11.
    At this point we are looking for "start wizard" should be on the right hand side.
    Once we have successful configured the printer for your network you can put your computer back on your network. Now you can add the printer to the system preferences and print.
    Let me know how it goes.
    Thank you,
    I worked on behalf of HP.

  • Access USB Disk from Win XP connected to Router

    Hello,
    My Airport express is plugged into cable modem router and so is a desktop running Win XP.
    Another 2 machines Macbook and Winxp laptop can access AE router, internet and the USB disk connected to AE.
    I am having trouble accessing the USB disk from desktop which does not have wifi and is hooked directly to cable modem router. I tried assigning a static IP to Airport Express and that didnt help either.
    Any ideas?
    hhol

    Welcome to the discussions!
    You posted in the AirPort Extreme forum, but your post indicates that you have an AirPort Express.
    If you have an AirPort Express, this device does not support hard drives at the USB port. Only compatible printers are supported.

  • Time machine backup from USB drive connected and backing up to Time Capsule

    Hi all forum virgin here, so be gentle.
    I'll get straight to it. Much net trawling hasn't resulted in a definitive answer on this which surely I'm not alone in
    I have: MBP networked to TC (where TM resides) and USB drive connected.
    A- I simply want to TM backup not only MBP but USB drive on network as well?
    As far as I can see there is no way of selecting this and after TM back has finished the only way I can check is
    to enter TM (fancy space screen view) and obviously idrive doesn't appear in finder view.
    I have tried connecting to MBP and obviously TM backs it up too and I can see in Enter TM. But I need this
    drive on network so a further 2 things here:-
    B- when I remove from MBP and TM backs up again will it see it's not there and delete as a change?
    C- will it keep in previous backups if I cycle back to that particular one?
    Andy help here would be most welcome

    Sooner or later, yes, as LaPastnague says.  It depends on when the backups are done.  The first backup of each day is kept for a month;  all others are deleted after 24 hours.  After a month, the first backup of the week is kept as long as there's room, and the others deleted.
    Obviously not a reliable solution. 
    A better method might be to use a different app to back it up to the TC's internal HD, but that presents another problem.  See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for an explanation and some possible workarounds.
    The 3rd-party apps CarbonCopyCloner and ChronoSynch can do network backups (others probably can, too).
    So you might be able to "reserve" some space on the TC's HD and use one of those apps.  As LaPastnague says, though, that will be relatively slow.
    If there isn't enough room on the TC's internal HD, you could get another USB drive and connect it to the TC also (via a powered USB hub) and back up to it.  That will be even slower, though.

  • Cannot Delete Folders from USB drive connected to Airport Extreme

    When I try to delete files from the usb drive connected to my airport I get "cannot remove folder, the directory is not empty.
    This only happens for some of the folders that are empty. No problem deleting any files whether they were created before or after I setup the airport. The folders that won't delete were created after I hooked up the drive to the airport however, I can make new folders and delete them no problem now. The ones that don't delete say "read only" in the properties. when I uncheck read only it reverts back to read only automatically.
    Any ideas what might be causing this?

    Tried what you suggested last night - no change. What is odd, though, is that I can create a new folder on the external USB HDD (through the Hub) and copy a file into it. While I can then close Finder, re-open and see the Folder and file I copied, I still can't see all the data that is currently stored on the drive...Is this a delete and re-copy scenario?
    Thanks!

  • [Solved] Delete files from usb drive connected to wireless router

    Hello,
    I have a home network with Samba for file sharing.
    I have a Netgear router with a Western Digital 2TB external drive attached to the router.
    I installed Samba according to the arch wiki and everything works fine but I cannot delete or access some files from the shared USB drive.

    The USB drive is Western Digital My Book 2 TB drive attached as a NAS to the router that shares it.  I installed Samba on the arch machine so I can access and backup various home computers onto the NAS.
    Here is some info I just found on the Western Digital Support site:
    The Western Digital units mentioned above use a proprietary file system and cannot be reformatted as FAT32, NTFS, or a Mac File System.
    The file system on the WD My Cloud EX2, WD My Cloud EX4, WD My Cloud, WD My Book Live, WD My Book Live Duo, WD ShareSpace, WD ShareSpace, WD TV Live Hub, My Net N900 Central, WD My Book World Edition, WD NetCenter hard drives support access from Windows, Mac and most Linux based computer systems through a SAMBA network sharing connection.
    I thought I would mention that I can access the NAS and write, read and execute from the drive.

    However I want to copy large files with cp -ruv from my arch machine to the NAS.
    This is where the trouble lies.  Thanks for your help.

  • Mac loses internet after wake from sleep, still connected to router

    Hi All,
    So, I see similar threads, but I'm not sure if this is the same problem. Here's what happening:
    -When I wake my Mac from sleep it usually (but not always) loses its internet (but not wifi) connection.
    -The loss happens 10-15 seconds AFTER it wakes up. If I go to Safari/Firefox right after it wakes up, I can bring up webpages fine for about 10 seconds. Then, suddenly, pages stop loading.
    -The wifi stays connected (I have an airport router) the whole time, and if I go to the airport utility, everything looks fine.
    -I know this is not a problem with my internet or my router because I have tried opening web pages on both my iPhone (connected to wifi with cellular off) as well as my PC laptop (I only have it for one program that the company does not make for the Mac and I need for work, haha), and both browse the internet just fine even though my Mac says there is no internet.
    -If I restart my Mac, the internet works fine. This is a simple fix, however it's also annoying to have to do it all the time.
    -This is happening in different locations, not just on my wifi. It happens in coffee shops, hotels, and airports too.
    -Not sure if this is related, but I have also been getting messages in iTunes saying that I need to authorize my computer or apps will be deleted.
    -I completely deleted Norton, as I had a hunch it was responsible for this problem (since the internet was disconnecting right after getting an "add location" message from that program). However, even with it completely off my computer, I'm still having the issues.
    Any suggestions???

    What Mac OSX version are you running? "iOS 8.2" as currently shown in your profile cannot run on any Mac computer, only Apple mobile devices.
    If your computer has automatically connected to a lot of networks, say, during travel, that might hinder waking as the computer looks for what networks it remembers. Go to System Preferneces > Network and select your wirelss connection from the left-hand pane. Then click the "Advanced" button in the main pain. That will show the list of networks you Mac has stored:
    There could be a lot. Clear out all networks stored there except those you use on a weekly basis. The little box with the "-" icon clears unwanted networks. Restart the computer and see if thising work better.
    -I completely deleted Norton, as I had a hunch it was responsible for this problem (since the internet was disconnecting right after getting an "add location" message from that program). However, even with it completely off my computer, I'm still having the issues.
    Download and run Etrecheck, a safe way to post a snapshot of your config without revealing any personal information. I'm concerned you did not get all of Norton, or have some other dreck like CleanMyMac or MacKeeper lurking.

  • Can I run an app on USB flash connected to router with storage link?

    Hello,
          I'm considering purchasing the E2100L wireless router with storage link.  When a client with a specific MAC address joins the network, I want to run a script which makes an ftp connection and puts a file from the USB flash to the client.  Is it possible to run a Linux bash script from the USB flash drive to perform this task automatically? 

    Not possible. Check 3rd party firmware like dd-wrt.

  • Problem with wireless printer HP photosmart by using iPad

    How can I use my wireless printer HP photosmart D 7460 with my iPad?
    jacques

    I don't see your printer on the list of AirPrint capable printers: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356.  If it isn't AirPrint capapble, the options are as follows:
    HP may have an app in the App store that will allow your printer to have limited capabilities (not AirPrint).
    One or more of the 3rd party printer apps in the Apps Store may work with your printer (again not AirPrint).
    Download a 3rd party program to your PC/MAC that will allow you to use shared printers as if they were AirPrint capable.  Your iPad will see the printer as an AirPrint cabable printer, but the PC/MAC the software is installed on must be up and running.  A few such programs are Printopia, AirPrint Activator, FingerPrint by Collobos.

  • Can't Connect to Router Using Airport Through Mac Mini

    Hey guys.
    I got a new 13" White MacBook in Jan. of this year (2009) and it hasn't given me any trouble, until now.
    I've been able to connect to any wireless network before, both through modems and computer-to-computer.
    However, my new router is giving me some trouble. It's a Tenda brand router connected via Ethernet cable to a new MacMini. The internet on the MacMini is working fine, but I can't seem to find the wireless network the modem should be giving off on my MacBook. As I said earlier, I've never had any problems with my airport before.
    I have all the information needed to connect to the modem (IP, Subnet Mask, Router , and DNS Server) but I'm not sure where/how I'm supposed to enter them.
    Can someone help?

    Well, i fixed it! Thanks to other questions in the Mac Forums, i learned that if i turned on the Internet Sharing in my System Preferences i could use the Mac Mini as a sort of 'host' computer. For any having the same or similar problems, here's the thread:

  • Streaming from time capsule to Apple tv using iPad

    Playing movies I understand you do with iTunes over game computer or PC or iMac.
    I have a Time Capsule 2T wired to router.
    No wires to my TV where I have a Apple TV.
    On the second floor in the house I have a PC.
    I also have a iPad.
    Is it possible to place a movie on my TC and play this using the iPad and apple TV ?
    Thanks in advance I'm not a computer expert.

    I also am not a computer expert. I have a similar setup to you except I have a macbook instead of pc.
    I downloaded an app called file browser on my ipad from the app store. it cost about $5-6 australian. In the app store it has a picture of a blue folder with FB written on it.
    It is pretty easy to use.
    Once opened, go into locations and click on the + button then put in the name of your time capsule. follow from there. I am not associated with the company, but I have been using it for a couple of months.
    It has meant that I don't have to put the tv shows or movies on my macbook anymore, which was using up so much of my memory. Now everything is on my time capsule and i can play it on my ipad or through my ipad with airplay, play it on my apple tv. And I don't have to have my computer on to use it.
    I have been stuck at home recently and have used it almost constantly. I'm sure there are other apps out there that can do the same this is just the one I found and it works.
    I made files on my time capsule named - movies, tv, and aperture (for my photos). For tv shows I then made sub folders with the names of shows and then a further sub folder with seasons for each show. Mainly, because I can be a bit pedantic about filing but it also just makes it easier to find things.
    This all comes up on the app when using it.
    So short answer is yes you can place a movie on your TC and play using the ipad and apple tv.
