How far away can you connect to the internet from Airport Extreme (802.11n)

How far can i take my Laptop away from Airport Extreme (802.11n) and still have internet connection

According to:
http://www.apple.com/au/airportexpress/
They claim the Extreme has a 45m range:
"Suppose you want to connect to the Internet with your PowerBook in an area that lies beyond the 45 metre range of your AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme Base Station"
Will you be using all N devices? G?, B? or a combination?

HP Laserjet P1102 print multiple pages - USB connected to Airport Extreme -

Hello,
My configuration is Windows Vista/7 - Bonjour Print - HP LaserJet P1102 USB connected to Airport Extreme.
Everytime I sent a print job - it get printed endless times until I hit "Cancel" on the print queue.
Help anyone..
Thank you very much,

Hi gingerjedi,
It's normal with your actual Airport and confirm by Apple, but ...
Only If you see your printer in Airport Admin Utility under Printer :
1) Download and install : http://www.openprinting.org/download/printdriver/macosx/foomatic-rip-2008-01-30. dmg
2) Download and install : http://www.openprinting.org/download/printdriver/macosx/gplgs-8.61-ub.dmg
3) Download and install : http://www.openprinting.org/download/printdriver/macosx/hpijs-2.7.10-UB.dmg
4) Repair permissions with Onyx or with your Install Disk
5) Restart your computer
6) Restart your connection with your Printer (Cable-Power-Connection with your Airport)
7) In Prefs Panes, select Printer ( + ) and install a new Printer
8) Select your indicated Printer in the menu choice. If you have a Name for your Airport, give this Name under Place or Emplacement (excuse, i am French) and select HP Deskjet D2400 Foomatic/hpijs (recommended).
9) And click Done
With this Solution, you can just print. All other software possibilities can not run under the Airport. It is normal.
I think all is ok for you.

Printing from Airport Extreme for both Mac and PC

I have both a mac and a PC. Both are connected to the internet using the Airport Extreme. Here's my problem. Currently I can only print from the Mac but not the PC. I was told that I would be using the airport extreme I would be able to use one printer for both computers. The printer I am using is an HP Office Jet 6310, which is compatible with both a Mac and a PC. Can anyone help me?

I recently purchased a Canon Pixma MP610 and it is connected to an AE. My Macbook prints fine to it. My PC laptop doesn't. I used to have a Canon Pixma 1600 that printed fine for both computers (I used iFelix's 1004.html steps to install for the PC)
I have tried the Add Printer on the PC using the same 1004.html steps with no luck. I have also used the 1008.html steps to install using the Bonjour Wizard with no luck.
When I say no luck, I mean it sees the printer, it has the proper drivers, but when I print a test page, it can't connect.
I Add a Printer and test and it fails, I then delete the printer and install it a different way. The weird thing is hours later, the test page will be there sitting on my printer. But I don't know why it took so long or which printer install method worked.
I have now installed 4-5 different printers and hit Test Page on all of them. I named each printer something different so in case the Test page comes out, I'll know which printer works.
I'm almost there I feel, but just can't get it.
Any suggestions iFelix or anyone else?

PC not able to print from Airport Extreme (N)

Hi,
I have a HP printer hooked up on my airport extreme (N) and it cannot print.
I have a mac that connects to it and print no worries.
Here is a quick description of my setup
Router 192.168.0.1
Airport 192.168.0.2 (bridged)
Mac 192.168.0.52
PC Ethernet 192.168.0.50
PC wireless 192.168.0.51
The weired part is that from the wireless, I cannot ping the airport but can ping the modem. All this while I am connected to the net via the airport.
I can however ping the airport while connected through ethernet...
Any idea someone??
Cheers
Ben

So, does your HP printer show up in Printer Setup Utility when you browse for it? Or from a Print screen Printer: Bonjour Printers -> yourHPprinter ?

Using Printer Remotely from Airport Extreme

Hi
I have re-arranged my house recently and now my printer is in a separate room from my study.
My Aiport Extreme is in my study along with my Mac Pro.
I want to be able to use the printer in the separate room of course so I'm wondering how best to do that?
I guess I need a printer server with wireless capability but which one to get?
Maybe I could use an Airport Express as a printer server?
The printer I have is a Brother HL-5240.
Thank you.

Hi, pa_t_r_i_ck.
If you have an AirPort Express, you could plug the printer into its USB port and share it wirelessly over your network:
[http://www.apple.com/airportexpress/features/printing.html]
Edit: This isn't just an Express feature; AirPort Extremes and Time Capsules support this too.

Cannot print from airport extreme

I am trying to attach my Epson printer via USB to airport extreme. printing does not work, cannot see printer as being attached. have installed Bonjour, turned PC off and on. no luck. any suggestions?

Unfortunately, not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations. In addition, the AirPort's USB port does not support the "advanced" printer functions, like scanning, copying or faxing, of multi-function printers.
To see if your printer is compatible, take a look at thisiFelix Unofficial AirPort Printer Compatibility link. If your printer isn't listed, it doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, but simply that it has not been verified. iFelix also provides the following workaround for printers not on the list that would certainly be worth a try.
Also you can try this Apple Tech Support article to see if it will help: Printer troubleshooting for AirPort Base Stations and Time Capsule
Finally, check out this IBM support article to see if your printer is listed as having a Postscript or PCL3 interface. If it does, then it will most likely work with the AirPort's USB port. Printers that use the "HP LIDIL" interface must be connected to a computer directly and will not work.

Wirelessly Connecting HP Laserjet P3015 to Airport Extreme Base Station

Hi, I just purchased a new Airport Extreme Base Station, and was able to establish an internet connection to it. I'd like to find out if it's possible to connect the HP Laserjet Enterprise P3015 to the Extreme, wirelessly rather than via a USB Cable. I've looked at the HP page for this printer, but I'm baffled by all the lingo. I believe it's a newer model of HP printer (or maybe it isn't?) but I bought it new from HP recently.
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DocumentIndex.jsp?contentType=S upportFAQ&lang=en&cc=us&docIndexId=64178&taskId=101&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesI d=3815797&printver=true#10
Is there a term for the type of printer that can be wirelessly connected? Should the printer, by default, give off a signal that I can pick up? I don't see anything popping up in Airport Utility 6.3
I'm using OS10.7.5 by the way.
I'm off to post a message on the suitable HP forum (if I can find it ) but I'm so used to the Apple Community knowing what's what, that I was hoping that some kind soul here might just have experience with this.
Thank you.
PS. From what I can understand from the "Trouble-shooting FAQ," wireless printing is possible, but I just don't see an option for syncing it up with a MAC? Maybe it only works with Windows?

wuzradioman
I don't see where the P3015 printer is wifi capable. Therefor, you cannot use wifi to directly communicate with it.
Thanks for the reply Wuzradioman. I dug around (several) of HP's sites and it looks like the info was slightly different for the same printer listed on both the Home and Business sites. I did find a link on a 3rd HP page (which I've since misplaced!) that indicates that the P3015 requires a wireless card to be installed. But when I clicked the link for "accessories and additional hardware" a link to the card was nowhere to be found. I'll try to dig up that link in the event that some other poor soul has the same printer and a similar question.
Vernon Alexander
I find the HP printers (they're called wireless printers by the way) to be cumbersome to connect wirelessly. there's a lot of manual work involved that can be time-consuming. For example, I found it incredibly irritating to enter the wireless access passcode.
Thanks for the reply. After talking to some other people, this seems to be the consensus on wireless printing. I guess there's a reason, esp. in enterprise environments, that printers are often hard-wired.
Bob Timmons
you can run an Ethernet cable over a much longer distance than a USB cable, so Ethernet might be the best option, and the one I would prefer.
As far as wireless, If you connected an AirPort Express to the printer and disguised it near the printer, then you could locate the printer anywhere you want and have it connect using wireless to the network.
Instead of installing a wireless "card" inside the printer, you use an outboard device to accomplish the same task.
Thanks Bob. I did end up hooking up via a Cat-5e cable from printer to Airport Extreme base. Previously, I had the printer hooked up via USB cable (at a shorter distance) to my Airport Express, which the Extreme now replaces.
Unfortunately, I can't seem to get the HP Laserjet P3015n printer recognized after having connected it via Cat5e cable to the Airport Extreme. 1) there's still somethign about it being attached to the old Airport Express (which is now used to extend my network. 2) The P3015 is identified as a P3010 - which is a carry-over from when I had originally set up the printer on my (then) main base station which was the Airport Express. I didn't (or rather "stopped") questioning the fact that the P3015 was recognized as a P3010 just because it was the only way I could get the printer to be recognized at the time.\\
But I suppose this new challenge merits a separate thread, which I'll start after I do a search of the support forums. Maybe there's something obvious I'm not doing to get the printer sorted out.

When attempting to print with HP P2015 cabled to AirPort Extreme, error message is "Network host (name) is busy". What's happening?

When attempting to print with an HP P2015 cabled to an AirPort Extreme, the network won't connect to printer. The Print Que message is "Network host (name) is busy; will retry in (number) seconds." When I delete the file to be printed, the Print Queue screen says "Printer Ready".
More Information:
The printer's Queue Name is Hewlett-Packard HP LaserJet P2015 Series
The Location is "(my name) AirPort Extreme"
URL is "Hewlett_Packard%20%HP%20LaserJet%20P2015%20Series._pdl-datastream._tcp.local./ ?bidi" (for whatever that means)
Driver Version is 18.4
Printer Software is HP LaserJet P2015 Series
The printer is listed as a printer on System Preferences/Print&Fax screen
If I connect the printer cable directly to the iMac, the printer works fine.
Any helpful directions would be greatly appreciated.

I came across an Apple article last modified 6/2/08 (Printer troubleshooting for AirPort Base Stations and Time Capsule). It suggested the old standby, i.e., disconnect the AirPort Extreme Base Station from its power source, turn off the printer, turn on the printer, and reconnect the AirPort to its power source. It worked. I guess disconnecting the AirPort cleared out the network host. Yea.

Can i connect to a HDD/printer on my Windows through my AirPort Extreme?

I have a Windows XP running machine, and i was wondering if i could set my external hard disk/printer to my AirPort Extreme and then use it for storage/printing. Not only with files from my Mac, but also with files from my Windows.
*My Windows is not a laptop, and is connected to the web through a kabel.*
Is it possible, and how ?

If the HDD is formatted HFS+ or FAT/FAT32, then yes. If the printer is one of those supported, then yes. You need to set up both devices via AirPort Utility. Check the setup guide to the Extreme.

Mac Mini won't print via ethernet cable connected to airport extreme

Hi. Thanks for your input in advance. Am about to start throwing things around. I have an Airport Extreme based network which is working fine. The printer is a new HP L7590 which connects to the network with a USB cable connection to the Airport Extreme. Those with laptops and wireless cards are able to print no problem. However my Mac Mini, a 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4 is connected to the printer using a ethernet cable connected to the Airport Extreme. All was working perfectly until I upgraded from Panther to Tiger. I am now running 10.4.11. Now the Mini will not print. The jobs keep stopping. I have removed the printer and try to add it again. The print browser page finds the printer okay and lists it as connecting via Bonjour, but when you tell it to add it, it starts 'searching for new drivers' and then 'gathering printer information' and then it stops responding and I have to force quit it. Any suggestions?? I have already tried all the online mac help suggestions.

Actually it transpires that the G4 laptops are not printing either now.

HP printer has just stopped working with Airport Extreme

Hi,
I recently purchased the airport extreme and when I first got it, I set up my HP C4180 to work with it. I was able to print from my macbook pro, my mini and my girlfriend's PC. Just recently, I have been unable to print from any of them. I can print when I plug the USB directly into my MBP but not through airport. It shows up in the Airport Utility but cannot be seen when I try to add it through the printer utility in System preferences. Any ideas how to get it back?
Thanks

I would suggest reading a number of the recent, similar topics for all the different printer brands. There are two main strategies: the Apple article on rebooting your airport station and printer, and the "Airprintfix" strategy for a particular problem in which your printer starts to print, then hangs after an inch.
I have done both fixes today, as I've had both problems - yours and the partial print one. I'm back in business, after patiently trying out all suggestions on bth my machines.
I've got a Canon pixma 950, and I agree with posts elsewhere that it seems to be a general problem with printing, and not with a particular brand. Hoping for firmware and OSX updates so we can all get back up to speed!

How to set up windows 8 to print to printer that is attached to an airport extreme?

Hello,
Please advise what is the best way to setup my daughters new windows 8 desktop to print to a printer attached to an airport extreme.
I used Bonquir to add the printer but nothing happens when I print something. It does not even register in the print que.
I obviously am missing something....
on a second question.
i most often could print from my powerbook... yeah it still works but occationally I have to delete the printer and reinstall it in the priner section of the powerbook.
Please advise what I need to do to make the connection more stable.... it does that once a month or so...
Thank you

Can windows actually see the printer.
Is it detected and setup ok in windows?
Can you ping the AE? Firewall issues can prevent the print job being processed even if the printer was made available.
How old is this extreme and what firmware?
DId you use correct SMB naming?
If it is Gen1-5 then use the airport utility in windows and you should then be able to see if the printer is actually working from the utility. Printer is no longer even a tab on the new version utility in a Mac.

Printing wirelessly to MacBook Pro with Airport Extreme Base Station

I have an Airport Extreme Base Station that I used to use wirelessly until I got Verizon Fios. The Fios technicians said the base station couldn't be used and so it's been sitting unused for a few months. However, I really, really miss printing wirelessly, and was wondering if it was possible to use the Airport Extreme Base Station ONLY to print wirelessly, and not connect it any way to my internet (I don't want to mess with any of the fios stuff at all).
If it's not possible, is there any other way to print wirelessly without purchasing another product or special printer. I have a HP c4480 printer.
Thanks!

If your printer has a USB cable the easy way to go about this in my opinion is to plug that USB cable into your Extreme base station. I have the Extreme ABS that looks like a flying saucer. I plug the usb cable into the port that has the symbol that doe NOT look like this <--> rather it looks like a Saguaro cactus.
My computer then sends print documents to the Extreme via WiFi and then Extreme sends them to the printer via the USB cable.
If your Airport status is not showing in the Mac's menubar go to system Prefs/Network/Airport and check a little box so it will show up in the menu bar.
Now if your Extreme is plugged in the wall and powered up your Mac should be able to find it. Click on that menubar item for Airport and scroll down and select your Airport Extreme. I don't know for sure what its name will be. It should still be the same as it used to be when you used it last.
Now try printing a simple document. In the print dialog window you should be able to select what printer you want to use. If your new Extreme printer is listed select it. You may need to click on Print & Fax and figure out how to select it from there, and choose it to be the new default printer.
I think this info will do the job. Whenever you want to print you have to go to the Airport icon in the menubar and change your airport connection from your Verizon stuff to your Extreme. Then of course you have to change back when you are done. That is why it would be great to toss the Verizon WiFi radio out the window and just plug your Verizon modem into your Extreme WiFi radio transceiver (router). But I understand you cannot deal with that at this time.
If this does not do the job, if I have missed something, I will bet you 5 bucks that you can still figure it out if you just look at any error messages and/or look at the Print&Fax prefs and the Print dialog windows etc. and see what I may have missed. Maybe you have to go to SystemPrefs/Sharing and allow your printer to be shared. I don't think so. The way I figure any of this stuff out is to just look at stuff and think and try things and see what happens.
Your Verizon setup should be something like this.... a cable comes into your house and goes to a 'modem'. From there and ethernet cable (CAT-5 cable) goes from that modem to your Verizon router (WiFi radio transceiver).
As for getting rid of the Verizon router, when you are ready to give it a go, simply unplug the ethernet cable (it has a plug on the end that looks like the kind of plug that telephones use to plug into the wall, except it is a bit wider, but still has that same kind of snap-lock tab) that comes from the Verizon modem (the modem has the heavy round cable and probably many blinking lights) and plug it into the Extreme. Mine has an icon on the Extreme that is many dots in a circular pattern.
At this point you may have to unplug the Verizon modem form the wall AC power and the Extreme also. Then plug them back in, wait a minute, go to your Airport icon on your Mac menubar, Select Extreme and start surfing the web.
It really is that simple with a Mac. Maybe Verizon has found a way to make things difficult but my guess is no. Any password should be taken care of in your Airport Setup Utility program. It should be the same password(s) as you used before when you used your Extreme.
