Printmanager crash signal 10 when printing to Airport Express

I'm getting a Printmanger crash (signal 10) when trying to print to an Airport Express.
Happens when printing to an HP 3600 and an HP PSC1315
Happens with very simple text documents and more complex documents
Both printers USED TO work with this Mac, and I haven't knowingly changed anything
Both printers work fine when connected directly by USB
Both printers work fine using the Airport Express from a Windows XP PC
Printing seems to start, but printer never begins loading paper, and printer queue just stalls (stops and asks to start again although starting again doesn't help)
Print manager logs indicate that print manager crashes with "Signal 10"
OS X upgraded to all the latest; latest HP drivers installed for both printers
This doesn't seem to be an issue with (1) the printers, (2) the Airport Express. Seems to be something in the print manager.
Printers are full of ink and aren't giving any error messages over USB or to Windows XP PC and have no blinking lights.
I'm pulling my hair out. Any ideas?

(Forgot to mention -- I've reset the printing system several times, re-creating the queue and re-recognizing the printer. The printer is always recognized quickly; Bonjour is working fine.)

Error 6753 when printing with airport express

Hi all-
I'm trying to us my airport express to set up wireless printing from my PC laptop. Right now, I've got a netgear router and I -think- I've managed to con nect the airport express to join that network. My goal is simply to use the airport express to print wirelessly.
I've got a green light on the AX and printer is plugged in by USB. However, every time I try to print I get this: 6753 error.
Status: green light
Mode: join a wireless network
Wireless: it's got my network and pw. I've checked the "allow Ethernet clients" although I don't know if I need that.
Connect using: Wireless Network
Underneath this it says "This AX shares a single IP address with wireless clients using DHCP and NAT." Then it has connection sharing bridge mode, but this is greyed out and I can't select anything.
Printers: I see my printer listed, but when I click share printers over Bonjour I get an error message before I can update the AX. It says to edit and change it to a wide area host name.
Do I need to change some settings? Or what "wide area host" do I need to change it to?
I am very new at this. Thank you for any help!

Thanks... I will try that first. I've also been advised to delete the network and add a new one with the printer connected... but your idea is simpler.

No colors when printing through AirPort Express?

I knew I couldn't use all the features (e.g. scanning) of my HP all-in-one printer F2180 through AirPort Express instead of USB. But is it normal I can't print in colors? Can it be fixed?

I am having the same problem. I am running an AirPort Extreme to a HP Deskjet F4180.
I spent two weeks on the phone and email with HP and they finally told me that it was a problem with Apple.
I just got off the phone with Apple support and they told me it is a driver issue which they have no control over. They told me to see if somebody in this forum had a work around or to search the web for a generic driver that "may" fix the problem.
If I find an answer I will let you know.
Good luck!!

Internet speed slows down when connected via airport express

Internet speed slows down when connecting via airport express. When connecting directly via the timecapsulethe internet speed is ok, when connecting via the airport express the speed slows down.What can I do to change that? Any suggestions?

Turn off the AirPort Express completely as a test, and move your computer very close to the location of the Express.
As I said before, the Express can only extend the bandwidth (speed) that it receives from the Time Capsule, so the speed that you see there with the Express powered off will be the fastest speed of which the Express is capable.
The Express will make the signal go further when it extends....but it will not make the signal go faster.
A good location for a device that extends wirelessly is a point that is about half the distance from the Time Capsule and the general area that needs more wireless coverage.
If you locate the AirPort Express too far from the Time Capsule or there are more than a couple of walls in the signal path, the signal will be very slow by the time that it reaches the Express....and the Express simply extends a signal that has already slowed down significantly.
If you already have the Express located about half the distance between the Time Capsule and general area that needs more wireless coverage, how many walls, ceilings or other obstructions are there in the signal path between the Time Capsule, the AirPort Express and the area that needs more coverage?
Often, due to obstructions, it is just not possible to achieve good performance when you try to extend a network wirelessly. The solution is connect the AirPort Express to the Time Capsule using a wired Ethernet connection.
There is virtually no signal loss with this type of connection, so the Express can be located exactly where it is needed and it will produce a much faster wireless signal in this type of setup.

Epson Aculaser CX11NF printing via Airport Express

Well today has been an interesting day...
Connected printer to airport express usb port - had problems printing via this in the past but since I'd moved the printer so I could plug it into the usb port on a computer and then share it that way I thought I'd give it another go.
Macbook 10.5.2 prints perfectly first time
Powerbook 10.4.11 can see it and connect but won't print
Toshiba XP laptop) can't see it
Check out the net, try out the info I find and hey presto! Toshiba XP laptop sees and prints perfectly
Share printer via Markbook and Markintosh and Powerbook prints fine but still won't print directly via airport express.
Feels wrong that an xp book can print via an apple airport express easier than an apple laptop...
Anyone have any thoughts?

Hi,
Thanks for all your replies. I tried repairs pewrmissions in disk utility again and got slightly excited when printer utility automatically selected a generic post script driver but my printer just printed jibberish.
I've just run repair permission in pinter setup repair and this is my log:
The file /System/Library/StartupItems/PrintingServices/PrintingServices is missing!
The file /private/etc/cups/classes.conf is missing. This file is deleted when using the Reset Printing System option.
The file /private/etc/cups/ppds.dat is missing. This file is deleted when using the Reset Printing System option.
The permissions for the file /usr/libexec/cups/filter/rastertodymo are incorrect!
They are lrwxr-xr-x, but should be -rwxr-xr-x
Repaired.
Recreating symbolic links...
Done.
Verification complete.
2075 files examined. 1 problem was found and repaired. It is recommended that you verify the permissions again to make sure the values are correct.
3 missing files/directories found during the verification process. They may be responsible for certain printing problems. Printer Setup Repair cannot replace these items. Please refer to the log file for a list of the missing files/directories. You may need to reinstall OS X to resolve your printing issues. Certain files and directories are deleted when using the Reset Printing System option. These files and directories, if required, will be recreated during normal printing.
Does it mean anything to anyone?

Printing to airport express from multiple imacs

I have two Intel based iMacs that share a Canon ip4300 printer via Airport Express (connected to the USB port on the airport Express). One of the iMacs prints perfectly and very fast. The second (and closer unit to the AE) prints extremely slow and can take an hour to print one photo. I disconnected the AE and plugged the USB directly into the second iMac and it too prints perfectly and very fast. So it seems to be something to do with the WiFi connection between the second iMac and the AE that is causing the problem. I have downloaded new firmware for the AE and drivers for the printer. I have reconfigured that AE from scratch. What should I do?

When you say that you installed the "drivers" for your Dell laptop, does this mean that you also installed Bonjour for Windows, which is on the CD that came with the AirPort Express?
If you haven't installed Bonjour for Windows on the Dell, you can download it here:

I have an Ipad and Iphone but I don't have an Airprint, only a WIFI printer,my question is if I connect the wifi printer to Airport express, can I print from Ipad and Iphone ?

I have an Ipad and Iphone but I don't have an Airprint at home but only a WIFI printer, my question is if I connect the wifi printer to Airport express, can I print from Ipad and Iphone ? Please help me if anyone knows about this.

Unfortunately, connecting a non-AirPrint-enabled printer to an AirPort base station's USB port will not make it AirPrint-ready.
You will need to use another solution, like Printopia, to be able to print to this printer from an iOS device.

Can we print with a non-wifi printer via Airport Express?

TS1253 hi, i do have canon lbp2900 printer, does airport express support it ?

is there any specific printers available for the printing on airport express basestation ?
Regards,
vishal kaushik

Most printers are supported by the AirPort Express. There is no definitive list.

MacBook Pro that my Airport Express WiFi profile was created crashed. Can i reset the Airport Express either to an iPad or Windows 7 computer?

Get the Airport Utility for the your iPad from the App store. You will need to know the password for the Airport Express (not the WiFi password) to access the AE. The iPad utility will, I think, do all of the actions to control your AE.
You can reset the AE back to factory default but with the iPad app you should not ned to.

Getting an Error:-9672 when trying to add printer through airport express

Hi everyone, I have a canon colour laser printer (LBP5000) works fine when I pop the usb straight in to the mac, but when I try setting it up by plugging the usb into my airport express I get an Error:-9672 this happens when setting up the printer in print & fax system prefs.
I have another printer set up on a different airport express, which works fine.... could this be a problem?
Any help would be great
Thanks
Lee

Hello Lee,
When you select the LBP5000 in the Printer Borwser > Default Browser view, the Print Using menu should automatically set. If it isn't, and you are having to manually set the printer, then that will be a likely cause for the error (which usually occurs when the wrong driver is selected).
Try turning off the Airport Express and the printer. After a few seconds turn the printer on first and after it finishes making it's warm up sounds, turn on the Express. Now try to add the printer via the Default Browser view.
If that doesn't help, check your Airport Express firmware version. Some previous postees have found that their problems are resolved by updating their firmware on their Airport Extreme/Express.
Regards,
Paul

Why does my mac say "failed to connect to the device" when I try to print through airport express?

So a little back ground. I have a unibody 2 ghz core 2 duo running 10.5.8 and a mac book air running 10.7.5. I set a airport express and added a new printer to both computers using bonjour. My mac air has no problem connecting and printing but my unibody does. The "failed to connect to device" message come up after I open print que for that printer and then utility. It unibody sees the printer through bonjour and installs the printer but when asked to connect, nothing happens. can anyone help please?

If you updated from a previous version of OS X to 10.9 and had an older version of driver installed, then you can get this message. Sometimes a quick fix is to reset the printing system. Note that this action will remove all devices from the Printers & Scanners preference pane, but not the supporting drivers, so if you do have other printers or scanners on this Mac you will have to add them again.

Devices connecting to the weaker signal base station, not extended Airport Express

I have am successfully extending my network with a timecapsule as the base station in the front of the house (living room) and an airport express in the back of the house (bedroom). The connection between the timecapsule and the AX is 'good' according to the airport utility on my iPad.
I'm connecting my iPad and laptop to the AX from the bedroom and the internet is fast.
I am also trying to connect a printer and a droid; both of these won't connec to the AX from the bedroom, and default to the timecapsule which they both can barely connect to. The Internet is slow, and the printer won't work.
The printer is a canon mx860 and is b/g
The droid is a droid global 2 and is b/g/n
I had a similar problem with my home theatre pc in the bedroom, which wanted to connect to the timecapsule, but I installed a network sniffer and was able to manually connect to the AX, which clearly had a stronger signal.
Why are the phone and printer not connecting to the stronger signal?? I know I read somewhere that you can't configure this on the TC and AX.
Thanks,
Walker

Since you are using the Express to extend the network of your Time Capsule then the band that is being used by the Express is determined by which band you are using to connect to the Time Capsule.
On the Time Capsule, if you are using the simultaneous dual band feature you will have created at least two networks, one 2.4GHz and one that is 5GHz. Each Network should have a unique name so you can distinguish them. I append (5GHz) to the name of my 5GHz network to accomplish that.
When you set your Express to extend your Time Capsule network choose the 2.4GHz network as the network that is being extended. This will set the Express to use 2.4GHz.

Wireless printing via airport express

Ive encountered a problem when it comes to printing over my home wireless network. The network consists of a single airport express base station connected via ethernet to my modem and broadcasting a wireless signal for both a macbook and a acer laptop to access the internet, which works just fine.
I also have a HP deskjet multifunction printer connected to the base station via the usb port, witch also shows up in the airport utility as being connected to the router. I'm aware that the scan function will only work when its directly connected to the computer, but as for printing, Ive set up the printer using bonjour for windows on the acer laptop, and that machine is able to print via the base station with no troubles at all.
Here is the problem. I'm able to add the printer to the list of printers on the macbook using the correct driver, and it says under location that its connected to the airport express, but when I go to print (a test page, etc) the document wont print. i get the following message - "Unable to read response header - short read" and it just hangs in line until I cancel the job. Ive tried the options on the apple troubleshooting guide, removing and adding the printer, restarting the base station and the multifunction, etc, but still no result. any ideas?

you might find pointers in the _*Printer Troubleshooting Guide*_.
