Printing problem with Macbook, Airport Express and new Canon IP4600

Just set up new printer, a Canon ip4600. Adding printer in System Preferences to my flat-screen iMac, I got it working using the Airport Express. But trying the same thing with the Macbook (2.4 GHz Intel), can't get it to print. (Both worked fine with previous Epson printer.) I fear it's a network issue, not sure what to do. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

For each of the AirPort Express Base Stations (AX), did you also change the "iTunes Speaker Name" on the Music tab when using the AirPort Admin Utility? Is this the name you're referring to from iTunes?

HP Wireless Printing - problems with MAcbook Airport

I've read through most of the problems related to printers on here and I think I have a unique one!!
I've just bought and installed a HP C8180 all-in-one printer. Installed as per instructions - on home network and across ethernet. I've reserved an IP address for it so its always in the same place. Works brilliantly (good printer!). However if I then disconnect ethernet and connect to my network via airport - it won't print! It will however, align, print test page (albeit slowly), clean cartridges etc - but no printing.
If I disconnect from Airport and reconnect to ethernet - no problems it prints fine. If I then connect via airport (keeping the ethernet connection at the top of the list) it works fine. If however airport is top of the list - it won't print.
Prints fine on USB too.
So I've deduced that for some reason its the Apple Macbook wireless that's causing the problem.
So does anyone have a solution - 'cause this is driving me nuts!
Thanks in advance.

I have a HP Photosmart 2710 All in One connected to a Aiport Express USB port, it works great, the WIFI in the printer doesn't work because it doesn't support WPA2 so I disabled it. The main router is quite a ways away but I still want to print to the printer wirelessly.
My suggestion:
1. Connect the printer via USB directly to macbook to load and test driver.
2. Use Airport Utility and configure Airport for printer, if it is already listed, remove and reinstall it.
3. On your Macbook it should change the driver from USB to the name of Airport, sometimes it helps to turn off the printer and turn it back on while connected to Airport.
Keep messing with it, it can be stubborn with Bonjour but it finally shows up. Make sure the Airport Utility can see the printer when connected to it.

Printing problems with HP laserJet 1320 and new Intel iMac

My new Intel iMac won't print to my HP 1320 from Eudora or from web browsers. The applications "quit unexpectedly". From Safari, nothing happens.
I can print PDF documents and Office documents with no problems. The Intel is connected to a router via Airport. The printer is connected to the router via Ethernet. My old G4 iMac prints fine (connected to router via Ethernet) as does my G4 laptop (connected via Airport).

A post from another threat that might help.

Solution!!!
Just spent 90 minutes with some nice folks in level 1 and level 2 support.
Problem seems to be that I used migration utility to import the soul of my old machine into the new machine. When you do that, you bring along the old print system (PPC vs Intel).
I had upgraded to 10.4.5 after the migration and assumed that it would correct any problem like that, but it had not.
After a great deal of trial and error, the solution was to go to move disk/library/printers to the desktop and restart the system
Then use the the install disk 1 that came with the iMac and use the OPTIONAL INSTALLS package to reinstall the printer drivers.
Worked like a champ.
Suspect similar problem might happen for any of you with I/O drivers.

Does the game has the same iOS requirements that your phone has? Games needing iOS7 will not install on iOS6 and earlier.
Did you try to download it to your computer and sync it to your phone after that?
If you can't connect to the iTunes Store, try these suggestions:

Wireless printing problems with 10.5.4 and Epson printers

Anyone else know about problems with Epson printers such as this no longer functioning wirelessly with bonjour once upgrade to 10.5.4? It appears they are not supporting this with a new driver yet?
At this time, Epson says they have no drivers for 10.5 and this specific printer but wondered if there are more general problems with 10.5.4 and bonjour with Epson or others?
Thanks

MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.5.4) Using Epson CX11-NF printer

I have 5 computers-G4 PowerPC, two G4 12" laptops, G5 Mac Pro dual, Macbook Pro--with the older computers all running 10.4.11, the new ones 10.5.4. Until Friday, I was able to print with all of them to an Epson Stylus Photo R200 via Airport Extreme. After installing software for my new G3 iPhone on the G5 Mac Pro the printer connections on all the computers stopped working. I have so far been able to get the G4 Power PC to print, but none of the others. I have tried Bonjour, Gimp-print v.5.0.0-beta 2, cleared all the print drivers and restarted, and everything else I have been able to find on both Epson and Apple sites. The Printer Set Utility described by Epson does not exist in Leopard machines, and doesn't work for the older laptops. As soon as I select one of the printers in the "selected printer in print dialogue box" it grays out. I have set up sharing on the G4Power PC that does print, but it is not accessible--it shows up but is grayed out. There is a diamond next to the printers in the Print dialogue box in applications' menus, but it still doesn't work. It either cannot make the connection, cannot find the printer, or keeps spinning with the message that it is finishing printing (but it hasn't even started.) Again, everything worked fine until the new iPhone was added to the mix. My old iPhone didn't cause any problems. This is really a problem. Any suggestions welcome.

Problems with Bonjour, Airport Extreme and OS 10.4.3

I have a networked, HP Photosmart 8450 printer. The printer was connected to both an iMac 20" and PowerBook G4 15" running OS 10.4.3. Yesterday, I lost the ability to print from the PowerBook. I have identified it as a problem with my Airport Extreme connection.
The iMac can see the printer just fine, and it shows up using Bonjour when I browse printers in the Printer Setup Utility. The PowerBook, however, cannot see the printer - that is, it does not show up in the browser, but only when I use the Airport connection. However, when I connect the printer to the PowerBook via USB, or when I plug a network cable in to the PowerBook, it sees the printer immediately using Bonjour.
It appears, then, the problem is with my Airport Extreme card. Has this issue been identified by anyone else/Apple? Perusing the discussion boards, it seems others have had this problem.
PowerBook G4/iMac Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Thanks for the response, however, my question remains: I'm wondering if anyone else with an Airport Extreme ("b" version) and OS 10.4.9 installed has a problem using Admin Utility 4.1.1 and/or Airport Setup Assistant 4.1.1? Specifically, the problem is, after resetting the Airport Extreme, I was able to set it up using the Setup Assistant (establish the network, set the password), but thereafter, it does not show up in the Admin Utility at all (but the Extreme's lights flash as it is being accessed) and in Setup Assistant, it shows up, but there are "errors" when trying to change settings. It is very odd.
When I was running 10.3.9, I had had no problems setting up/administering my Airport Extreme. Suspecting the Extreme itself, I even had an Apple Genius inspect it at the Apple store, but it was pronounced in working order. I might try to check the Airport card inside the G4 (by trying it in a friend's G4). If this communication problem is not shared by anyone else (ii.e., a software issue), it could be my Airport card.

Has anyone experienced problems with their airport express since yosemite?

Since updating to Yosemite, I am constantly having issues with my Airport Express. It flashes yellow, indicating no connection. I have attempted to:
Soft Reset: Unplug it (Airport Express) and plug in again
Factory Reset: Unplug it, push & hold the reset button with a paper clip while pulling it back in.
A Tip From Another Site: Unplug our Time Capsule we use as a router & the Airport Express, wait 3 minutes - then plug in the Time Capsule, wait another minute - then plug in Airport Express. This worked for a very short amount of time, then the light started flashing yellow again.
Again, I had no problems before updating to Yosemite.
I look forward to & appreciate any help resolving this issue.

Hi I have the same problem after upgrading to Yosemite

Printing problems with macbook pro and canon 4150

I have a Macbook Pro running 10.6.8. I also have a Canon imageclass MF4150 printer. I downloaded from the canon website the driver Mac-UFR II Printer Driver V2.25. When I try to print, I get an error message.
Can anyone suggest a generic printer driver that would work?
Thanks in advance for the help.
kate

I have a NetGear WGR614 that has worked without issue for a macmini, my MBP and direct-wired PCs and Linux towers. It only has issues when ATT DSL causes connectivity issues what require them fixing things in their connection centers.
WGR614 is a few years old, but they still sell it.
I was warned years ago against DLink.
LinkSys was recommended almost as more reliable then NetGear.
But then Airport Express is an Apple product and Apple has direct links to set them up from your Mac.

Airport express and new macbook pro

my daughter has just purchased a new macbook pro and we have set up the airport express. her macbook tells her that she is connected to the airport express but she can not load safari.

Hello Jodi Meyer. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
How do you have the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) configured to get Internet access? That is, do you have it connected directly to another router or modem? If so, what is the make/model number of that other device?

Will I be able to use my printer which is not wireless with the airport express and will it become a wireless printer ?

I have a wired printer and I need to know will the airport express work with this printer and will I be able to print wirelessly from my IPad ?

Can't print from iPad unless it's AirPrint able...
If it isn't you may want to check out Printopia.

I recently bought an airport express and tried to set it up through my iphone5 wifi settings but the airport setup does not show up. Is the problem with the airport express itself?

Nothing comes up in the airport utilities app either. The amber light continuously blinks. I also tried connecting an ethernet cord.

We have a netgear n150 router in our house as well but it doesn't connect to my phone or MacBook. That's connected to a Windows PC.
Is this Netgear router your "main" wireless router? That is, is it connected directly to the Motorola modem by Ethernet? Which exact model of the AirPort Express do you have? How do you have the Express configured to work with the Netgear?

Older Airport Express and new MacBookAir pairing....

Here's the story:
I have a MacBookAir (very nice) which I use in a place without a wired / telephone line / broadband internet access. So, I use a Vodaphone wireless broadband connection using a USB dongle. Works well. That, of course, uses up the only available USB port on the MacBookAir, which means I am not able to easily plug in my small portable printer, which also requires USB, unless I disconnect the Vodaphone dongle, unplug it, plug in the computer, printer, then reestablish the Vodaphone connection....you see the hassle !
I have an older Airport Express (not sure if it is a, b, g ?) probably 3 years old. I had thought that I could use it to create a wireless network with my MacBookAir to use for printing.
The configuration I envisaged was as follows: Airport Express in to plug socket; USB connection from AE to printer. No physical connection between AE or printer to MacBookAir.
Using Airport Utility I try to discover the AE but scanning comes up with nothing. The AE in the meantime when first plugged in shows solid green, then a solid amber, then after about 15 seconds goes to flashing amber. Evidently, the AE, Airport Utility and my MacBookAir are not finding each other.
So: is it that the older AE and the new MacBookAir are not compatible. using different versions of the 802.11 ? Or have I got the set up completely wrong ? - ie. does the AE not speak wirelessly to the computer ? - does it need another base station to create the wireless network eg. Time Capsule or Airport Express Base Station ? I thought an AE would create its own little wireless network.
Thoughts, suggestions, help all appreciated ! Thanks.

I have an older Airport Express (not sure if it is a, b, g ?)...
The configuration I envisaged was as follows: Airport Express in to plug socket;...
What do you mean by "plug socket"? Is that the AC/power connection?
...then after about 15 seconds goes to flashing amber.
That indicates that everything is OK but the AirPort Express (AX) could not get an IP address. You would expect that if the AX is not connected to the Internet.
So: is it that the older AE and the new MacBookAir are not compatible. using different versions of the 802.11 ?
The MacBook Air is compatible with 802.11b/g so you should be able to see and use the AX.
Some countries allow operation in different channels. US made and sold equipment only uses channels 1 to 11. If your AX is using a channel above 11 and the MacBook Air is a US model, the MacBook Air will not be able to connect. Try configuring the AX to use a channel between 1 and 11.
Using Airport Utility I try to discover the AE but scanning comes up with nothing.
Have you done a reset on the AX?
Have you tried temporarily connecting your MacBook Air (or another computer) to the AX via Ethernet to configure the AX?

HP Deskjet 3050A wireless printing problem with Macbook Air

Hello, I have a HP Deskjet 3050A printer that I have been using with my MacBook Air (2012 OS X 10.8.3) until a few weeks ago when it seemed to hang when trying to print and then say no printer found (even though it showed and was selected in the Printer options). So after a few weeks of this I decided to to remedy this issue once and for all by deleting the printer and 'refinding' it.
However, upon 'refinding' printer by adding it through System Preferences no printer is found - I have updated all Macbook air software.
All this time I have been able to continue printing wirelessly using my iPhone 4S and have changed no settings to the iPhone or 3050A which leads me to believe the proble the problem may lie with the Macbook Air?
Can you help resolving this please? Thanks

What router are you using? Have you restarted it by pulling its power plug momentarily?
If that does not work, download and install this: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907
Restart your Mac.
Finally, reset the printing system:
- Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan
- Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
- Select the plus sign to re-add a printer. Select the Defualt tab on the top of the window. Look for the printer, select it and then next to the "Use" pulldown, select the printer model (not AirPrint). Wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

Printing problem with Epson R290 Illustrator and inDesign

I am running CS2 on Leopard and have recently purchased an Epson R290. The first time I used it with Illustrator and InDesign it worked fine but now whenever I print anything it prints a tiny version (about a sixth of the real size) of the design in the top left corner of the page. It does this both with new documents and old ones that used to print ok.

Since I posted the message about this problem I have discovered that it can be worked around by choosing a higher quality print. ie if you choose plain paper when printing from Illustrator or InDesign the printer prints a reduced size image but if you choose Ink jet mat or glossy the print comes out fine. I don't have this problem with Photoshop but that may be that I always print high quality from that application. I don't use Appleworks Draw so don't know whether this solves the problem for that application but iWork documents print ok.

Extend wireless network with multiple airport express and netgear powerline

I currently have the following network configuration:
1. Using ATT u-verse (2-wire 3800HGV-B "modem") to internet
2. Disabled the u-verse modem wireless router, and have connected an Apple Time Capsule wireless router (on a DMZ)
3. Have four Netgear XAVB5001 powerline adapters connected to the time capsule (for our iMac desktops and the Apple TV)
4. Have an Airport Express wirelessly connected to the time capsule to extend range (for our iPhones and iPad)
All this is currently working. What I would like to do is the following, keeping 1-3 above the same:
4. Connect the airport express to the time capsule via Netgear XAVB5101 powerline adapter (instead of wirelessly connecting to the time capsule as it is today) and use it to extend the wireless range of the time capsule
5. Add ANOTHER airport express to the time capsule via powerline adapter (and extend the wireless range elsewhere in the house).
Does anyone have any experience with this kind of setup and can assure that it would work? (I'm trying to decide whether to spring for a couple more powerline adapters and another airport express)
Thanks in advance!
Dave

I had a VERY similar problem: I was trying to extend my wireless network using a hardwired ethernet connection from Airport Extreme to my Time Capsule. Every time I plugged in the wire to the TC, everything disappeared. Unplugged, and boom. Came back.
Here's how I solved it:
Go into Airport Utility and select the unit you are trying to use as a wireless extender and choose to edit it. Then, on the wireless tab select CREATE a wireless network. But, give it the exact same name and password. This is completely counter-intuitive. You would think to choose EXTEND, but this would be wrong. Next choose the network tab. And, select Router mode to Bridge (off).
By choosing the same name and password, your phone, laptop, etc. will think it's on the same network and move seamlessly from one to the other.
See if this fixes your issue. Fixed mine instantly. AND, it only took 3 painstaking hours of checking ethernet connections and rewiring jacks, etc. to figure it out. LOL
