Printing through Airport Extreme limited to less than one page.

I have my MacBook Pro, and my wife's MacBook (dual-core), connected wirelessly to my Airport Extreme (802.11n). I have my printer (Canon MP-800 Multifunction) connected to my Airport. When I try to print I can only get about 3/4 of one page to print, no matter how many pages the file really is. Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?

  • My iMac (OS 10.7.4) has suddenly stopped printing to my Epson CX4800 printer through Airport Extreme, although it will print if connected via USB. Meanwhile, my MacBook (OS 10.5.8) prints still prints wirelessly. Please help.

    May iMac (OS 10.7.4) has suddenly stopped printing to my Epson CX4800 printer through Airport Extreme, though my MacBook (OS 10.5.8) continues to function just fine). The iMac will print if it is connected to the printer directly via USB. The iMac continues to connect to the Internet wirelessly. I've tried resetting the printer and ensuring the driver is up to date, but no joy.
    Any suggestions?

  • 2008 Macbook Pro wont print through Airport Extreme

    Hi,
    We recently got an airport extreme and have our printer (Epson Stylus NX400) plugged into the USB port. My computer (2009 MacBook Pro running 10.6.8) will print wirelessly fine but hers (early 2008 MacBook Pro running 10.5.8) will not. Plugged in it will print just fine but it is a hastle to unplug the printer from the airport and plug it into her computer any time she wants to print. When she tries to print wirelessly, the print command goes through but then doesn't show up on the print que. The only difference I see between our computers when we print is hers pulls up some information from Epson regarding ink levels when plugged into the printer. Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Harrison

    here is one thread:

    Have you guys tried updating to 10.4.6
    I believe they addressed some airport issues in the update.
    Also you could download the firmware update

    But I believe that just updates your firmware to work with boot camp and doesn't really do anything else.

  • Can't print through Airport Extreme.

    New MacBook pro. prints thru USB. Set up and shows up fine. Queue says "printing-printer connected". It just hangs up and never prints. no printer in airport utility menu.

    Thanks for the clarification.
    I suggest that you work your way through Apple's Printer Troubleshooting Guide.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1253
    Sometimes, the last step......reset printing system.....will work miracles when nothing else seems to work. Finally, there are some printers that just won't work with the AirPorts due to firmware and operating system changes in new products. You will know soon.
    Good luck.

  • How to print from IPad1 to printer through Airport Extreme

    I connected my Cannon to the Airport Extreme USB port. I can print from my HP, but not from my IPad1.
    Can I do it?

    No.  That configuration is not supported on iPads. You need an AirPrint enabled printer.

  • How to allow access to my airport extreme network for more than one wirelss device at the same time

    I received a Kobo Vox ereader for Christmas and have not been able to connect to my home wireless network. It works with unsecured networks and I tested it out at an Apple reseller with their airport extreme netwok and it connects fine.
    It seems as if I cannot have more than one wireless device connected to my home netork at the same time.
    So here is what I did to test this out:
    - I powered off the Kobo vox
    - I shut down my macbook
    - I turned off the modem and unplugged the power cord and removed the cable connection from the modem.
    -  I also unplugged the airport extreme router.
    - I waited for about 15 minutes and then set it all up again and turned on the power to the router and the modem
    - I turned on the kobo  vox (I left my laptop shut down)
    - my kobo vox was able to connected to the internet.
    - I powered up my laptop and it couldn't connect to the internet.
    So, I went through the above steps again and powered up my laptop first and was able to connect to the internet. I then turned on my Kobo and was not able to connect.
    It seems as if I can only have one device connected to my wireless network at one time and that device is the first one to be powered on and connected to the internet.
    Am I missing some network or airport extreme settings...
    thanks

  • Airport extreme cannot connect more than one computer

    Hi,
    I just got a new cable internet connection but have major problems with my airport extreme. I can be online via airport but I can not connect any other devices wirelessly (including other laptops).
    The connection works only when 'distribute a range of IP addresses' is selected in airport utility. Choosing 'share a public IP address' results in no internet access whatsoever. I tried soft- and hardresetting the base station with no luck.
    Any ideas?

    It sounds like your cable modem needs to be reset.
    Most cable modems require that you power them off/on whenever you switch the Ethernet connection from one device to another. When the cable modem is powered on, it finds the new device and talks to it.
    Some cable modems have a button on the back to do the reset. Some cable modems have an internal battery which must be removed to do the reset. Some cable modems must be off overnight (or at least several hours) so that equipment back at the ISP can be reset.
    "Share a public IP address" is the setting that you want to use.

  • My windows 7 pc recognizes my hp printer through airport but prints only various letters and symbols

    my windows 7 pc recognizes my hp printer through airport but prints only various letters and symbols

    Located a solution:
    Go to Control Panel - Printers ---  right click the printer and select Printer Properties.
    Select the PORTS tab and disable Bi-Directional Printer Support.    Seems to work whether the printer is installed either via USB or Cat5 to the Airport Extreme network.
    For HP printers, if that first fix doesn't work, download and install the HP Install Network Printer Wizard  - allow it to replace your 'newer' driver, but check hp.com for step by step instructions.
    Third suggested fix is to download a PCL6 driver, or a different model-driver altogether that is more generic than model specific.

  • How do I install an HP C4100 printer to airport extreme?

    I can connect my C4100 via USB directly to my laptop, but I don't know how to install it to airport extreme. When I attempt to print using airport extreme, I get a connection failure. Can you provide instructions? (I am a new MAC user).
    Thanks.

    Hi there,
    this morning I resolved the printing issue with my HP psc 1217 All in one.
    I was almost ready to go into the next computer store to buy a airport compliant device when I found this link for more than 600 printer drivers:
    http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/MacOSX/hpijs#Printers
    My psc 1217 is not directly listed, but works well with the drivert for the 1210 device.
    the photosmart C4100 is also listed so it should work as well.
    What you have to do is:
    go to the page: http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/MacOSX/hpijs#Printers
    1. download the package: Foomatic-RIP (88k) and install
    2. download the package: espgs-7.07.1.ppc.dmg (5.4MB) and install
    3. download the package: hpijs-2.7.6.U.dmg and install
    go to the printer manager and select the driver from the list you will see a bunch of newly installed printers.- Works well for me and allows me to keep my loved psc1217.
    Cheers,
    Torsten

  • How to connect my iPad, Brother printer, and AirPort Extreme?

    How to connect my iPad, Brother printer, and AirPort Extreme?

    I don't believe any of the Brother printers are AirPrint-enabled. Is your Brother printer network-ready? That is, does is support either/both a wired or wireless connection or just uses USB to connect?

  • Can't print with Airport Extreme

    I am having trouble printing with Airport Extreme.
    My printer is connected to the AE but every time I try to print I get a printer offline message.
    I have tried in the past to print wirelessly but have given up.
    I just bought a new MacBook Pro so I thought I would give it another go.
    Thank you.

    Not very much to go on here but I'll give it a stab.
    Go to the Airport Utility program located in Applications/Utilities folder.
    Run this and select "manual setup" for your AE displayed on the left.
    Hit the Printers icon on the top. Your shared printer should be displayed here. If it's not, then ensure it's powered on, good usb connection etc.
    After this shows a usb printer connected then go to System Preferences>Print & Fax. You'll see printers you have setup before on the left. A green icon usually means they are available. If print doesn't work to the desired printer the best thing to do is remove the previous definitions by highlighting the printer and hitting the "-" icon.
    Now hit the "+" sign and define the shared printer. It should be listed in the resulting "add Printer" dialog. Highlight, change any naming info and click "add".
    Printer should now be available. I'm assuming a supported printer that have the device drivers loaded on your system.
    That's all I got.

  • Can i plug printer into airport extreme while it is on

    Can I plug a usb printer into airport extreme while it is on?

    I cannot find airport in finder, don't know how to turn it off.
    You will have to pull the power plug from the back of the AirPort Extreme to power it down. Wait a few seconds, then plug the cord back in.
    Or, you can pulll the plug where the power supply plugs into the wall socket if that is easier.

  • Configuring wired desktop through airport extreme

    I have successfully connected a cable modem to the airport extreme and to my wireless mac. However, i need to connect my roommate's dell desktop to the internet and i hoped to do it through airport extreme. My problem is that i cannot get her computer to recognize that it is plugged into the LAN (<-->) port of my airport.
    Can anyone help me with a step by step of what i need to do on her computer? (I've tried the network settings, but i cannot figure it out.)
    She has a Windows XP computer. We're connected through Comcast and have a comcast username and password.
    Also, i want to use security but if i set up a WPA password will she be able to connect? Thanks.

    Vinita, Welcome to the discussion area!
    Sorry, but I know very little about how to configure XP. Essentially you want to configure it to use Ethernet and DHCP to get an IP address.
    You want to ensure that your AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) is configured to distribute IP addresses.
    WPA and WEP only affect wireless connections and have nothing to do with Ethernet connections.
