Printer not recognized by Airport Extreme

I recently purchased an Airport Extreme that I'm trying to use to network a USB HP Printer (PSC 2410) and an external hard drive for access by a Macbook Air and a Windows laptop.  I had the printer working for a day with the Macbook and then it is no longer recognized from the Printers in the Macbook; the printer never got recognized by the Windows laptop via Bonjour but I'm mostly interested in trrying to at least make sure I can get this working with the Macbook.  The printer works fine if plugged directly via USB into the Macbook.  I have searched forums and tried the basics - made sure I had latest firmware, restarted the Airport Extreme and the printer multiple times, reset printers in the Macbook, etc. but no matter what I do I can no longer have the printer be recognized when connected to the Airport Extreme.  Also, I've noticed people talking about a printers tab in the Airport Utility, but I do not have a printers tab in the Airport Utility (version 6) on the Macbook.  Any ideas would be very much appreciated about how to get the printer recognized again in order to use it wirelessly.  Thanks!

  • IPhone 4S not recognizing my Airport Extreme

    My new iPhone 4S is not recognizing my Airport Extreme while my iPad2, Macbook, Mac desktop and Apple TV all are able to see and successfully utilize my network. My iPhone 4s is able to see other networks and successfully connect with them, but just not the network associated with my Airport Extreme.  Can anybody help me fix this problem?

    Im having exactly the same problem.
    Every laptop in the house and my ipad will conenct to my airport, but my iphone doesnt... in fact my iphone wont conenct even to another router in the house. Outside, on my work network, it works fine.
    It displays the phones client number in the airport utility, but no data is transfered nor does it ever connect - just the scrolling circle continuously.
    Reset the router, restored my iphone. I've done everything...
    Anyone? Its doing my head in.

  • HP Laserjet 1020 is not recognized by Airport Extreme(2nd gen)

    Per instructions on the manual, I hooked up my HP Laserjet 1020 to the USB port on the Extreme, hoping to use it as a network printer for 4 computers.  It does not show up on the printer list and everything I have tried, including updating drivers and software, still does not work to have it show up.  I'm wondering if this is one of those HP printers that does not work with the extreme. 
    Is there someone out there that has any ideas how I can get it to work, I would really appreciate any advice.  Thanks.

    I spoke too soon, sort of. While the information I got from the Sonos website is accurate, and did indeed help in getting things started, the external HD with the enclosure I bought still isn't working! I even went so far as to reformat the drive last night, even though it was already formatted correctly. Just tried a few minutes ago, and nothing...  The permissions look exactly as they do on the other disks so I'm not sure of what's up. At first, I thought that maybe Apple changed something about how the Airport Extreme sees externals, such as they must meet specific network based criteria... but then I tried a several year old iOmega portable Go drive, that I hooked up via micro USB and it worked immediately.
    Now I'm wondering if there really might be something to what you said, about the enclosure. Is there a precedent for such an issue? Has anybody else here experienced this?  But the wacky thing is that this external with enclosure was working perfectly not too long ago. So what has changed? I moved, and set up a new network. That has changed. But aside from that? I tried earlier firmware versions, and that did nothing. So either an OS update or my enclosure is all of a sudden wonky... even though it works perfectly otherwise? VERY confusing.  BTW, the enclosure is a Rosewill.

  • Time Machine Harddrive not recognized from Airport Extreme anymore

    I've recently updated my Mac Book Pro (Mid 2010m 8GB) to OS X Mountain Lion. Already before I used an external Harddrive attached to Airport Extreme (Airport Utility 7.6.1) for Time Machine Backups. The Backups worked well, even after Migration to OS X Mountain Lion (10.8).
    The Haddisk had always been visible from the finder and even an jailbreaked Apple TV. But this changed just yesterday with Finder and Airport Utility just not able to recognize the Harddisc anymore. I tried several things including:
    - unplug the Airport Extreme for 1 hour from AC
    - Reset/Restart Airport Extreme via Airport Utility App
    - Reset Airport Extreme to factory settings and starting over with configuring the network again
    - Turn off/on the respective Harddisk
    Neither action was successful so far - while the drive can be accessed via direct USB connection still. The respective drive is Mac formatted (journaled) and - as already mentioned - had been working in this setup all the time (1 year at least).
    Thank you very much for any hint/tip helping me to solve the problem!

    Hi Pondini,
    I've seen this before - but TM used to work for me this way very well.
    That's kinda the point -- sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
    However with my question it is not about Time Machine - it is about why my Harddisc is not anymore recognized by my Airport Extreme base station. It had been working since more than one year now - and then all of a sudden Airport Extreme stopped to show me the drive.
    Try repairing it, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.  Note that you have to repair both the disk and the sparse bundle the backups are in, separately.

  • Iphone, IPad and printer not connecting to Airport Extreme

    Hello everyone,
    I have a problem with my wireless. I have an one year old airport extreme. I can connect to my IMac wirelessly and my macbook pro without any problem, however my iphone, printer and IPad have problem connecting to my wireless network. The only way my iphone and ipad can connect is if I'm next to the airport extreme. If I go to the next room it will disconnect, even thought the signal appear to be find. This is not the first time I have this problem. I corrected the problem by going to the setting and turn off and on the Robustness which I don't know why I no longer have that option on the airport extreme. I have reset, power cycle all device and no luck.

    The iPhone includes a b/g compatible wireless card, so "n" alone will not work, and the same when set to "n/a".
    I have my Airport Extreme Time Capsule set up via simultaneous dual band so my MBP with an "n" compatible wireless card can connect via "n" with my iPhone connected to the other band via "b/g".
    In regards to your MacBook slowing down, is this in regards to transferring data from one computer to another, or is this with your internet connection only?

  • Time capsule not recognized by airport extreme - first time setup challenge

    Air port utility not recognizing time capsule. We have airport extreme and time capsule (recent purchase to back up 2 wireless mac laptops and the G5 which is connected to the modem). Modem is conected to airport extreme and I connected the Time capsule via ethernet as I thought the speed would be 1GB and faster than wireless "n." Somehow now the airport extreme does not recognize the time capsule. In the network utility, airport is not listed, only ethernet and firewire. What steps should I take to enable time capsule to back up the laptops wirelessly as well as the G5 (non-wireless.) Thanks!

    I would hold the reset button on the back of the Time Capsule for 5-10 seconds and I would wait to connect it to the AirPort Extreme to see if you can set it up. If you can access the Time Capsule with AirPort Utility then I would plug it into the AirPort Extreme and continue your setup.

  • HP Printer not connected via Airport Extreme 802.11ac

    I recently upgraded from an Airport Extreme 802.11n to an ac and my HP D110 Photosmart printer is no longer connected wirelessly. Is this an HP issue and can it be resolved? Both MacBook Pro and iMac run Yosemite 10.1.1 and have great Internet connectivity. The printer worked fine until the Airport upgrade.

    You changed devices that provide your wireless network.....but the HP printer still thinks that you are using your old router since it has not been given instructions on how to connect to your "new" network.
    I don't have an HP printer here to check, but in general the process would be to reset the printer back to its original default settings, just as it came out of the box when it was new.....so you can then set it up to connect to the "new" network.
    Your HP Setup Guide will likely tell you how to do this. If not, you can contact HP Support for your printer using the link just below:

    With good luck, another user who might have the same printer may see this post and be able to offer more specific information.

  • Wired switch not recognized by Airport Extreme

    I recently found that my wired Linksys 4 port switch quit sending data to my Airport Extreme. The lights that referenced the connections in the back were on steady (all the lights). I tried rebooting the APE and depowering the switch to no avail. I figured that since it was working before the switch must be bad. I bought an 8 port D-Link switch, and the same thing happened. So now I wonder, is it the Airport Extreme? The wireless works great but I can't get any wired connections to work. Any thoughts?
    I have also run the airport admin util, switched the Wan and Lan cables and put new cable from switch to APE.

    You don't say which model of the Extreme you have. I'm assuming it is the new 802.11n. If it is the new 802.11n you can't use Airport Admin Utility to configure or manage it. You have to use the new Airport Utility. Second there should be enough LAN ports on the AEBS to eliminate the switch.
    I don't use a switch and never have but wouldn't you want to run internet source to Extreme's WAN port and then an ethernet cable to from one of the Extreme's LAN ports to the switch.

  • WiFi on touch not recognizing my airport extreme

    okay well i know a lot about my network and such, researched it for a while to set it up, and i must say it runs very nicely with my two wireless enabled macs. it consists of an airport express for music streaming which is also used to extend the network created by my airport extreme N (fast ethernet version). i had problems with my ipods wifi for a wihle so when i redid my network i looked at a lot of things, i lowered the multicast rate to 2, i put it on channel 11, and of course it is set to b/g compatible. is there anything else i should know to help get this working properly?

  • Printer not found on airport extreme base station

    Have set up a printer via the USB port on the base station it worked just fine BUT when I switch off the printer and my mac book pro and then restart the printer is no longer avialable / picked up by the base station. I have to restart the base station via the airport utility and then it finds the attached printer. Is this what you have to do?

    I've had mine totally not work either upon restart. Basically - I've had two of these basestations lose their usb drives and printers when restarted. Its like they blow a fuse or something.

    Hi ryanfromstockbridge,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you are seeing when you try to add the printer or print to the printer. If you continue to have issues printing to this wireless printer, you may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful:

  • I am not able to print to my usb airport extreme attached printer from my windows aptop or window desktop

    I am not able to print to my usb airport extreme attached printer from my windows aptop or window desktop

    Your post did not really provide any details on what you have done in the way of troubleshooting or printer software that you have installed, so we don't have much to go on here.
    For starters though, you will not be able to print unless you have installed Bonjour Print Services for Windows v2.0.2 on the PC(s) and run the program.
    So, if you have not done this, that would be a good first step.

  • Windows XP PC not connecting to Airport Extreme

    I am having trouble with my Windows PC recognizing my Airport Extreme. It was working great at one point because I could see the shared external HDD and my printer using Bonjour for Windows. Now it's like it doesn't exist. PC still connecting to the internet fine, but can't see the peripherals. I'm getting a 6753 error or something like that. Any suggestions?

    I'm having the same issues and it's more frustrating because it used to work, then my PC crashed and now that I have it back it doesn't work. I'm getting the error. I got it back up and running twice but it's spotty, it keeps disconnecting and not working.

  • Epson Stylus r360 issues printing in Leopard via Airport Extreme & Bonjour

    I hope I am not duplicating any posts, have searched but have not found a similar problem.
    I have an Epson Stylus Photo R360 printer connected to my Airport extreme via USB sharing the resource around the house via Bonjour to all my Mac's.
    Problem is it works fine under Tiger but the 2 Mac's that have been upgraded to Leopard 10.5 no longer print. It discovers the printer and loads in the printer configuration window ok, drivers are found and the printer looks good to go.
    However, when you try and print, after about a minute an error appears on the printer in Leopard with an exclamation mark and is unable to continue.
    If you hook up the printer directly to any Mac running leopard, it works fine!
    Anyone else having this problem? Is this something Apple has changed in Bonjour or maybe printer drivers problem via Bonjour?
    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    I found a fix for the problem of not being able to print from a printer connected to an Airport Extreme.
    I had similar issues with my Canon iP4200, which was connected to an Airport Extreme. Printing worked fine with Tiger, but Leopard has somehow corrupted the feature. Printing is now very sporadic, at best - and will stop a few seconds into the printing and hang. My solution was to hook the printer directly up to the main (host computer). Go into System Preferences > Sharing, and make sure you've selected 'printer sharing'. Then go into the Sys Pref for "Printing/Fax", and remove your current printer (which was accessed via Bonjour on your Extreme) - you can leave it if you like, just make sure that when you add the new one, that you make it the default. Once set, make sure that you check the box labeled 'Share this Printer'. You will also now notice that the printer's location has changed to your host computer's name. You will now be able to print from your main computer without a hitch. Now access the System Pref>Printer/Fax from any other wired or wireless computer on your network. Add a new printer, a new choice will appear on your list, which will list the printer name with the "@" symbol, followed by your host computer's name. Select that, and let it do it's auto driver check, then click 'add'.
    You will now be able to print from any of your computer's on the network. Best of luck.
