Print thru Airport Express under Fusion/Windows XP

I have a MacBook Pro (10.5.2), Airport Extreme Base Station, and a new Airport Express with an attached HP color laserjet. No problem printing wirelessly from OS-X. However, also running Fusion with WinXP and have been printing from there for months before getting the Airport Express. But now that the printer is connected Airport Express, can't print from Windows even after downloading Bonjour for Windows and loading Airport Utility app under Windows. Fusion/Windows doesn't see the Airport Express, and consequently the printer. Does anyone know if there is a setting I'm missing in Fusion or somewhere else.
Thanks in advance,
Jack

Just got it working: returned everything to factory settings, reinstalled everything and hoped for the best...

  • MacBook Pro Doesn't Print thru Airport Express

    This is really perplexing. All the computers in my house are printing fine through an Epson Stylus 280 printer networked wirelessly through an Airport Express - except my MacBook Pro.
    I installed the new drivers.
    I wiped the slate clean of all printers in System Prefs.
    I added a new printer - the Epson came up w/ Bonjour automatically as it should.
    When I print, everything shows up fine on the MacBook Pro - it goes through the queue, shows printing then completion...but nothing comes out of the printer.
    I tried moving the System Configuration folder out of the Library onto the Desktop to let it reconfigure itself - same problem.
    It's really weird because the MacBook is telling me everything's fine, but it obviously isn't - and as I said, all my other computers in the house (Mac AND Windows) aren't having any problem whatsoever.
    Thanks!

    Bumped again. Sorry, folks, but I'm desperate! This used to work and then it just stopped. I removed all printers again, rebooted, added the printer again (which the System Preferences' Print/Fax config). Printing shows as perfectly normal on my Macbook Pro, but nothing comes out of the printer. My wife's MacBook has zero problem printing through the same printer, same for a Dell laptop.
    The MacBook Pro is better than this, isn't it? Thanks.

  • Cannot Print Wirelessly thru Airport Express

    I've seen this question before w/o an answer. I installed Airport Express, works beautifully and instantly like all Mac stuff. I can print ok from my iMac wirelessly thru Airport Express to an HP Photosmart 8450 connected to the Airport USB port. Then I try to print with my legacy machines (3 IBM Thinkpads w/ Win XP) wirelessly...it just doesn't work. I followed the instructions in the Express manual, created the port connection, etc., nothing. If I connect the USB cable directly to the Thinkpad it prints ok. I checked in the list and the printer is supported.
    I've tried to find an answer for this for days. I know many people go thru the same. Hints? Thanks

    Hello Carlos Camilion. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Have you tried installing Bonjour for Windows?

  • Printing on a Canon Pixma MP600 via Airport Express from a Windows 2000 PC

    Hi, I'm a Mac: I can print directly connected AND wirelessly to a Canon MP600 printer through Airport Express.
    Hi, I'm a PC: I can only print when I'm directly connected to the printer.
    Has anyone found a way to print to their Canon through Airport Express?

    Try these instructions first: http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/1006.html
    Another route is to use Bonjour for Windows to be able to access the printer attached to the AirPort base station from your PC.
    In addition, not all USB printers work with AirPort base stations for sharing. The following iFelix link provides an "unofficial" list of known compatible printers...and some workarounds.

  • Printmanager crash signal 10 when printing to Airport Express

    I'm getting a Printmanger crash (signal 10) when trying to print to an Airport Express.
    Happens when printing to an HP 3600 and an HP PSC1315
    Happens with very simple text documents and more complex documents
    Both printers USED TO work with this Mac, and I haven't knowingly changed anything
    Both printers work fine when connected directly by USB
    Both printers work fine using the Airport Express from a Windows XP PC
    Printing seems to start, but printer never begins loading paper, and printer queue just stalls (stops and asks to start again although starting again doesn't help)
    Print manager logs indicate that print manager crashes with "Signal 10"
    OS X upgraded to all the latest; latest HP drivers installed for both printers
    This doesn't seem to be an issue with (1) the printers, (2) the Airport Express. Seems to be something in the print manager.
    Printers are full of ink and aren't giving any error messages over USB or to Windows XP PC and have no blinking lights.
    I'm pulling my hair out. Any ideas?

    (Forgot to mention -- I've reset the printing system several times, re-creating the queue and re-recognizing the printer. The printer is always recognized quickly; Bonjour is working fine.)

  • Printing to airport express from multiple imacs

    I have two Intel based iMacs that share a Canon ip4300 printer via Airport Express (connected to the USB port on the airport Express). One of the iMacs prints perfectly and very fast. The second (and closer unit to the AE) prints extremely slow and can take an hour to print one photo. I disconnected the AE and plugged the USB directly into the second iMac and it too prints perfectly and very fast. So it seems to be something to do with the WiFi connection between the second iMac and the AE that is causing the problem. I have downloaded new firmware for the AE and drivers for the printer. I have reconfigured that AE from scratch. What should I do?

    When you say that you installed the "drivers" for your Dell laptop, does this mean that you also installed Bonjour for Windows, which is on the CD that came with the AirPort Express?
    If you haven't installed Bonjour for Windows on the Dell, you can download it here:

  • I have an Ipad and Iphone but I don't have an Airprint, only a WIFI printer,my question is if I connect the wifi printer to Airport express, can I print from Ipad and Iphone ?

    I have an Ipad and Iphone but I don't have an Airprint at home but only a WIFI printer, my question is if I connect the wifi printer to Airport express, can I print from Ipad and Iphone ? Please help me if anyone knows about this.

    Unfortunately, connecting a non-AirPrint-enabled printer to an AirPort base station's USB port will not make it AirPrint-ready.
    You will need to use another solution, like Printopia, to be able to print to this printer from an iOS device.

    Most printers are supported by the AirPort Express. There is no definitive list.

  • Upgraded to OS X 10.6.4, now lexmark E232 will not print thru airport

    Upgraded to 10.6.4. Updated airport software 7.4.2. Lexmark will not print thru Airport. Will print direct via USB.
    Airport utility suggests/shows that it's set up properly, Printer shows up in print & fax preferences. Only differences since yesterday are the software updates.

    Welcome to the discussion area, bseidenstat!
    This has worked for me in the same situation, but with a different printer. Can't say if it will work for you, but might be worth a try to reset the printing system if all else has failed (and you haven't already tried this)
    Make sure the printer is powered on and connected to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme
    Open System Preferences, then open Print & Fax
    Control-click or right-click in the printers box on the left, choose "Reset printing system" and click OK
    Click the + (plus) button to add your printer again
    Try to print

  • Epson Aculaser CX11NF printing via Airport Express

    Well today has been an interesting day...
    Connected printer to airport express usb port - had problems printing via this in the past but since I'd moved the printer so I could plug it into the usb port on a computer and then share it that way I thought I'd give it another go.
    Macbook 10.5.2 prints perfectly first time
    Powerbook 10.4.11 can see it and connect but won't print
    Toshiba XP laptop) can't see it
    Check out the net, try out the info I find and hey presto! Toshiba XP laptop sees and prints perfectly
    Share printer via Markbook and Markintosh and Powerbook prints fine but still won't print directly via airport express.
    Feels wrong that an xp book can print via an apple airport express easier than an apple laptop...
    Anyone have any thoughts?

    Hi,
    Thanks for all your replies. I tried repairs pewrmissions in disk utility again and got slightly excited when printer utility automatically selected a generic post script driver but my printer just printed jibberish.
    I've just run repair permission in pinter setup repair and this is my log:
    The file /System/Library/StartupItems/PrintingServices/PrintingServices is missing!
    The file /private/etc/cups/classes.conf is missing. This file is deleted when using the Reset Printing System option.
    The file /private/etc/cups/ppds.dat is missing. This file is deleted when using the Reset Printing System option.
    The permissions for the file /usr/libexec/cups/filter/rastertodymo are incorrect!
    They are lrwxr-xr-x, but should be -rwxr-xr-x
    Repaired.
    Recreating symbolic links...
    Done.
    Verification complete.
    2075 files examined. 1 problem was found and repaired. It is recommended that you verify the permissions again to make sure the values are correct.
    3 missing files/directories found during the verification process. They may be responsible for certain printing problems. Printer Setup Repair cannot replace these items. Please refer to the log file for a list of the missing files/directories. You may need to reinstall OS X to resolve your printing issues. Certain files and directories are deleted when using the Reset Printing System option. These files and directories, if required, will be recreated during normal printing.
    Does it mean anything to anyone?

  • I have a 6 yr old airport express. im using windows xp home edition. i cant get my computer to recognize my a.e. suggstions?

    i have a 6 yr old airport express. im using windows xp home edition. i cant get my computer to recognize my a.e. suggstions?

    Was the AirPort Express previously working with the PC using XP?
    What service does the Express perform on your nework?
    Is the indicator light on the AirPort Express green, slow blinking amber, or solid amber?
    Please tell us about any troubleshooting steps that you have already performed, and what happened after each step.

  • Windows can't print to Airport Express connected printer

    installed new Airport Express replacing an old Linksys wireless router. Have a mix of Windoze and Mac clients that need to connect to shared (USB Connected) printer, supported off the AE router.
    All Mac clients are able to see, connect to, and print to the USB attached MFC 440CN Brother printer.
    The Windows devices cannot connect to, see, or utilize the same printer.
    Any thoughts on what setting I might have Ito change in order to correct this problem?
    Thanks
