Many posts give minimal information but I think you probably should receive the grand prize.. least info ever delivered in a post.
From your post I know that you installed a time capsule. I have no idea how or to what.
That your printer.. type model connection all unknown now does not work..
Sorry but the crystal ball is totalled and the other black arts of which wireless is perhaps one, is off-limits.
Minimum info needed.
What printer?
Connected how?
Is it still available on the network? Can you ping it?
Just the facts please.

  • Lexmark S605 printer wont work since Mountain Lion upgrade

    Downloaded latest drivers from Lexmark & Apple sites today but no improvment, spoken to Lexmark & Apple cust services but no use (other than uninstall & reinstall).  Impacting wireless & USB printing.

  • After installing Time Capsule internet connection slow

    Since I installed Time Capsule on my Mac, my internet connection started acting up. The web browsing is VERY SLOW, and applications that are web-based no longer work properly. For instance, I have an EyeFi Wireless Explore SD card and the related EyeFi Manager software that allows me to wirelessly transfer my photos on the eyefi card to the eyefi website, as well as my photo service (Kodak Gallery or Flickr) and also transfers the photos to my Mac. Before I set up my Time Capsule, the eyefi system worked flawlessly. Now the uploads hang up and do not complete. I also have very slow progress trying to use my webmail, or loading webpages in general. I use the Safari browser.
    My Time Capsule is set up as a separate wireless network, so I access the internet thru my original home wireless network. Is anyone having the same issues after installing Time Capsule, and does anyone have a solution?

    Try doing a Safe Mode reboot by holding down the Shift key when you hear the start-up tone. When the progress bar appears you can release the key. A Safe Reboot will clear some of the caches, it's possible one became corrupt. If that doesn't work do both a SMC and PRAM reset, you may need to do each 2-3x.
    SMC RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    PRAM RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • First timer.  Just installed Time Capsule.  The first backup looks like it will take two days at the pressent speed.  Can I close MacBook Pro and have first back up  continue, and can I unplug and plug in at work without affecting the backup?

    I'm a first timer on this (or any) help site. I just installed Time Capsule.  The first backup looks like it will take two days at the present speed.  Can I close MacBook Pro and have first back up continue, and can I unplug tomorrow and plug in at work without affecting the backup?

    Hi Oneinspirit,
    Time Machine backups can be paused by choosing "Stop Backing Up" from the Time Machine icon on the right hand side of your menu bar ( ). Once you're ready to resume the backup, you can choose "Back Up Now" from the same icon.
    Start a backup: Click the Time Machine icon  in the menu bar, then choose Back Up Now.
    Pause a backup: Click the Time Machine icon  in the menu bar, then choose Stop Backing Up.
    OS X Yosemite: Start, pause, and resume a Time Machine backup

  • I can't see my network Printers when i installed Time Capsule

    I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I had a wireless network using my NetGear router so i can share internet and two network printers. The network printers are connected to the router using ethernet wires. Now that i installed Time Capsule i can't get the Network Printer to print.

    I did what you said, made sure that both network printers where turned on connected to TC and ready to print, then i opened my system Preference, Print & Fax, i removed my two printers that where there before and working, then hit the plus sign, add printer, here's what's different, my MacBook Pro, under AppleTalk and one of my printers can up and it now works but the other didn't. So on my iMac i tried the same thing but no printer showed up under AppleTalk, i did find the two printers under "Default" and Bonjour was under "kind" i said install to both and it did. I just tried printing to both printers and now i have two bouncing printer icons on my doc with a massage " Attempting to connect to host 192.168.1.10" for one of the printers and the second "Attempting to connect to host XRX92CABD.local." i'm starting to think that i didn't set up the TC correctly or i have some option in TC setup wrong.

  • HT1178 Can I install Time Capsule strictly as a back-up to my local devices?

    Can I install Time Capsule strictly as a back-up to my Windows laptop and Apple devices without using it as an Airport Extreme Base Station? I do not want to use my Time Capsule as my access to the Internet, just as a back-up. I have U-verse voice and data services and am using their wireless router to connect to the Internet.

    You are asking multiple questions..
    The setup of the TC can have a whole bunch of variations. If you followed the instructions to plug in by ethernet and turn off wireless, then all connection is via the uverse modem router.

    Thank you.  Since I am not using my TC to connect to the Internet - I have U-verse, so I installed AT&T's wireless router - it was recommended that I put the TC into bridge mode and connect it to the router using the ethernet.  Without wireless, how do I send my backups to the TC? 
    If you don't use wireless then you use ethernet.. it can be plugged into either the uverse router or the TC..makes no difference.
    Should I disconnect the ethernet, re-establish wireless, and let all my Apple and Windows 7 devices use their active wireless connections to backup to the TC?  If so, how do I direct the backups to TC?  I have Airport installed on my Windows 7 primary computer.  Again, thanks for the help.
    Why do you want to use wireless if you have ethernet? Ethernet is much better and faster.
    If ethernet is not available you can use wireless.. if you turned off wireless in the TC.. then all connections will be via the uverse .. TC .. nothing wrong with that.
    If you leave the TC wireless on.. then you can connect to TC instead and use TC. That is also fine.. makes no difference .. use what works.
    I think you need to play some more.. you questions show you are not understanding the fundamentals..
    In bridge the TC is a dumb hard drive.. plus switch.. plus wireless AP.
    Plugged into the uverse router.. it is like the uverse router now has more switch ports.. a secondary wireless AP and a hard disk.. they are effectively one unit. Any connection to uverse is connection to TC.. any connection to TC is connection to uverse..

  • HT1515 How do i get my old AirPort Express (7years old) to work with my new Time Capsule?

    How do i get my old AirPort Express (7years old) to work with my new Time Capsule?

    Does anyone at Apple have help for this sort of question - I too have an old printer (HP LaserJet 5MP) that I would like to keep using on my Mac. (Mac OSX 10.6.8).
    I got it working by getting a USB cord that connects to it - but every once in a while it just stops working for weeks. The mac 'sees' it and it sends the data because the printer lights start blinking but then it just doesn't do anything. Is there no one who can tell me (and raterada) how to get some new life into these old printers. I would rather not add this (and a new toner cart) to the landfill just yet. . .

  • Installed Time Capsule, now want to delete/clean files from mac mini HD, is there an easy way to do this?

    I've installed Time Capsule and using Time Machine backed up all my files from my Mac Mini (mid 2010) and verified they're there, now, as nervous as I am to do this, I want to clean/delete all the files on my mac mini hard drive, is there an easier and faster way than just moving to trash and deleting them? Looks like that can take hours.
    My intention is to use the Time Capsule as a Hard drive so I can clean my Mac Mini hd since it was reaching capacity.
    Thanks!

    Ok, I just googled how to format my external hard drive to Mac OS extended (Journaled), no problem, understood.
    Bear with me, I'm not too computer savvy, then connect to my mac mini, copy all my files to that ext. hd, then in system pref for the TC don't add to exclude?
    I don't think I want to keep that also permanently connected to TC as then I'm backing two hardrives?

  • I want to add more capacity on hard drive of time capsule. Can i add a normal usb driver? I will see it as an external drive in the time capsule network? It will work as fast than time capsule? Thanks

    I want to add more capacity on hard drive of time capsule. Can i add a normal usb driver? I will see it as an external drive in the time capsule network? It will work as fast than time capsule? Thanks

    Can i add a normal usb driver?
    Yes, but be sure that the drive is formatted correctly for Mac in Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    I will see it as an external drive in the time capsule network?
    The drive will appear as a shared network drive, like the Time Capsule.
    It will work as fast than time capsule?
    No, the drive will operate at about half or 50% of the speed of the Time Capsule.

    You broke it, you will need to get it serviced or replaced. The drop voided your warranty so you would have to do an out-of-warranty replacement with Apple.

    Got the phone direct from the Apple website, so I assume it was unlocked, and it had been on giffgaff ever since but I don't see why that's a problem?
    The carrier was automatically selected as Free and is up to date.
    There seemed to be no problem that the SIM was being used in an iPhone 4 and my friends in exactly the same situation (e.g. arriving in France and moving over to the Free network with iPhone 4's) have had zero problems with their 3G network; it just seems to be me.
    The Free Mobile Network is included on this list which I guess means that they are Apple-approved? iPhone: Wireless carrier support and features
    How do I find out whether or not I would need to manually configure an APN? I'm not even sure I know what that is.
