Printer Features Available using Airport Express

I just purchased an AirPort Express to use with my HP PSC 1350 All-in-one printer. The question I have is will the scan function work when the printer is connected to the AX? In other words, can I scan a document and have it saved on my MacBook wirelessly?
Thanks for any help or suggestions you are able to provide.
MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

If you connect a printer via the ethernet port of the Express, all printer features should be available. Now, are there any all-in-one printer/scanner that allows connection via ethernet port, I don't know.

  • How do I print from iPhone using Airport Express to a regular printer over enet

    I am trying to figure out how to print from my iPhone or iPad to a regular printer that is on my wired ethernet network. I purchased Airport Express and my iPhone recognizes the Airport Express. I connected the USB port to the USB port on printer. The printer recognizes the Airport Express. But my iPhone does not recognize the printer. Any ideas?

    See this article about AirPrint: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
    Note the next-to-last bullet in "Notes" near the bottom:
    AirPrint printers connected to the USB port of the Apple AirPort Base Station or Time Capsules are not supported with AirPrint.
    I do not believe you can use AirPrint to print to a wired printer, period.  Very likely, you cannot use even a printer manufacturer's app to print to such a printer.  You would need a wireless printer.

  • Sharing a Canon PIXMA MP780 printer between OS using Airport Express

    Hello.....I've been sharing a Canon PIXMA MP780 between a wired desktop PC and a wireless laptop PC. I recently got a new MacBook and want it to share the same printer. I set up my Airport Express with no problem, but my MacBook doesn't recognize the printer. I thought I just might need to update the printer drivers, but when I contacted Canon, they said this printer doesn't support networking between two different OS. Does anyone know if this is really true (we all know how often we get incorrect info from tech support types) and if it is true, has anyone found any work-arounds for this? Thank you!

    I have a similiar problem, only it is reversed. Using the mac, it took me a minute to print wirelessly. But with the pc... I've used the entire evening, and it's still not possible.

  • How to setup HP LaserJet 1320 to print from Windows using Airport Express

    My situation was that I could print locally when the printer was directly plugged into the computer's USB port but when I tried to print through the Airport Express (with the printer plugged into the AEBS USB port) nothing would happen. (I could print fine from my MacBook Pro, just not from any Windows machine.)
    It seems (although I'm still not quite sure why) that the issue was with the port address created by the Bonjour for Windows wizard.
    The following worked like a charm:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1688294

    I don't think it answers the original question. PrintCentral, according to the description you are pointing to print
    s to:
    1) most wireless printers (he's got a network printer, I assume a wired one)
    Works just fine on my 2 Ethernet network printers.
    2) all printers via a Mac. This option although useful looks a bit strange. If I have to have a Mac on all the time, I would use it to view stuff and print from there. No need for an iPad.
    Not sure why you would want to use this option if you want to print directly from the iPad to a printer. My wife's iPad prints to either network printer just fine when my Mac laptop is shut down.
    Looking for a solution myself... We need CUPS for iPad!
    You might want to let Apple know.

  • Why can't I print from my iPad using airport express

    Why can't I print from my iPad using airport express?

    Is the printer connected to the USB port on the AirPort Express?
    If yes, Apple does not support printing from the iPad in this manner. Try another App like Printopia which should allow the iPad to print. There is a free trial, so you will know in a few minutes whether this will work.
    Printopia - AirPrint to Any Printer - Print from iPad - Print from iPhone ...
    Is the printer connected to the AirPort Express using wireless only?
    If yes, you must have an AirPrint compatible printer to be able to print directly from the iPad. See if your model is AirPrint compatible in this Apple document:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    If your printer model appears, the printer may need a firmware update to enable the AirPrint feature. Contact the support folks at your printer manufacturer.
    If the printer does not appear, try Printopia as above.

  • How do I print from my I Pad 2 using Airport Express

    How do I print from my I pad 2 using airport express.

    At this time you can't, not if you mean a printer connected via USB to the Airport unless there's been an app or workaround released that I haven't seen, or unless the printer is one of the few wireless printers that support AirPrint or for which the manufacturer has released their own app. At this time only HP has come out with printers that support AirPrint, which allows an iOS device to natively print directly to a wireless printer:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
    It's possible other printer manufacturers may provide updates to their printers to make them AirPrint capable. It's also possible that eventually Apple will support printers connected to a computer or Time Capsule. HP also has an app that allows printing to some of their other wireless printers, as if memory serves does Brother.
    If you don't have an HP printer or a another printer with an app available, then for now, you would have to connect the printer to your computer, then search the web for something like "airprint Windows hack" and you'll find instructions on enabling printing. If you have a Mac, try Printopia. 
    Regards.

  • I can't print wirelessly using Airport Express.  I have my HP printer connected to a USB hub, and the hub to the Airport Express, but when I select the HP from the printer list, my MacBook says the printer is "off-line" - even when it is not.

    I can't print wirelessly using Airport Express.  I have my HP printer connected to a USB hub, and the hub to the Airport Express, but when I select the HP from the printer list, my MacBook says the printer is "off-line" - even when it is not.  I've tried several USB connectors, and several different ports on my USB hub; same result.  I need to have the HP connected to the hub 'cause from there it's connected to our desktop Mac.

    You will need to install an App like Print Central on the iPad to try to print to the printer. It will allow you to print to most printers. Check with their support folks if you need more info.

  • Why cant i print from my ipad using airport express but i can print from my mac using the express

    why cant i print from my ipad using airport express but i can print from my mac using the express

    Because your printer has to be Airprint compatible and connected to WiFi. There are applications, such as Printopia, that will allow you to print through your computer.

  • Wireless printing to an HP PSC 1310 Series from Windows 8 using Airport Express

    Can someone point me to instructions for setting up wireless printing (to an HP PSC 1315) from Windows 8 using an Airport Express?  I have a Dell XPS 14z laptop running Windows 8 on which I've installed Bonjour Print Services and an Airport Express (AE) supporting 802.11n.  The laptop successfully uses the AE network to get on the internet, but Bonjour does not display any printers.   I also have a Macbook Air that is able to print wirelessly to the HP PSC 1315, so I know it works.  The problem appears to be with Bonjour, but I'm not certain.  I've tried it with and without the 1315 added as a local printer in the Control Panel.  Still no luck.
    I had this same setup with a prior Windows XP laptop and an 802.11g AE, but alas can't get back there with the "new/better" technology.
    Please help.

    See if either of these two articles will help:

  • Can I use Airport Express to connect to a printer, Time Machine Back up drive, second b/u drive, and scanner through a USB hub? if so, how?

    I have an Airport Express that connects to my printer. I'd like to add a scanner, and two back up drives (one for use with Time Capsule, another specifically for photographs backed up from Adobe Lightroom.
    The printer connects to the Airport Express through a USB hub and is recognized.  I cannot get the scanner nor either of the back up drives to be recognized.  Is there a way to do it or will I need to rely on a USB hub wired to the USB port of the MacBookPro?  If it is possible, can you walk me through the set up for each? 
    Thanks,
    Doug Earle

    I'd like to add a scanner, and two back up drives (one for use with Time Capsule, another specifically for photographs backed up from Adobe Lightroom.
    Unfortunately, the USB port on the AirPort Express will only work with a compatible printer.
    It will not work with a scanner, copier, or hard drive.
    It should be possible to do what you want by connecting a powered USB hub to your Mac and then connecting the devices to the powered hub.
    The setup for the scanner and hard drive would be covered by the manfacturers documentation, so providing specific advice for those types of products would be outside the realm of this support area.
    But, if you can provide model numbers, it is always possible that another user who is using those products might see this post.

  • Cannot get printer online using airport express-totally confused right now.

    Well, I got my airport express up and running. My iMac is in one room and the airport and the printer are in the other room (it is a second printer). My first printer is connected to my iMac via USB.
    Cannot, for the life of me, get the printer in the other room, online, using airport. What am I doing wrong? I am clueless when it comes to these things, so it is probably something simple (and yes, the power in plugged in and on, lol).
    I went to System Preferences>Print & Fax and it shows the printer OFFLINE, DEFAULT, but I am lost from here.
    Thanks!!

    I'm suffering from the same problem. Printer is HP Color Laserjet 2600n with driver 1.3.1, MAC OSX 10.6.1. Setup is airport extreme as router and gateway + airport express as wireless connection for the printer. Following the airport express help doesn't help. Next test is to check whether the printer work as a network printer when connected to the airport extreme station directly. Keep you updated on the progress.

  • Can my old HP print from my iPad using airport express

    Can my old HP print from my iPad using airport express.
    If yes what can be done.
    Thank you.
    Merry Christmas

    You might be able to get the iPad to print to the HP by installing an App like Print Central on the iPad.
    There are no guarantees that this will work, so worst case you will be out about $10 U.S.

  • 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.
