Problem printing from Win 7 PC to AE Base Station connected Network Printer

Hi, i have an AE 802.11g version 5.7 software with an IP4800 canon printer attached via USB.
i can print perfecrtly to it from both my macs (G5 desktop and Intel laptop) running 10.5.8.
recently i connected my girl's Vaio laptop running Windows 7 and it works fine for connecting to the internet but i CANNOT for the life of me figure out how to get the network printing working. we installed the latest drivers for the canon on her PC and downloaded and installed Bonjour for WIndows version 2.02 (link here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL999) The printer is even "seen" on her PC, shows up with a green arrow and the base station is identified, but everytime we try and print we end up with a "error printing document" message after a minute or so.
i have gone into the prefs and we have enabled the UDP port "5353" just in case her MacAffee or the firewall was the issue. this has not worked either. i have tried the solution proposed by a user on this link (http://www.sevenforums.com/network-sharing/177086-fixed-problems-wireless-printi ng-over-airport-extreme.html) and that has not worked either.
i have spent over 2 hours on this and am at an end to what else could work. Is there a solution? Can anyone help?
thx in advance for your feedback!

I have follwed the instructions provided in the html link but I still can not get my Lexmark 5470 to print. I even tried to add a printer using CUPS but that is not working either. Printer works great on the Mac and it will print if directly connected to the PC. I can not get it to print over my wireless network. Any suggestions are appreciated.

  • Apple Base Station Connection/Recognition Problem

    I have just purchased a Airport base station to use as a replacement for another router which has died. I have gone through the set-up routine, double and triple checked my connections and despite it all, I cannot connect to the Internet nor can I reestablish a wireless network within my home. All the lights on the base station are appropriately lit as per the manual. When I connect my internet connection directly to my iMac I have no problem accessing the Net.
    My iMac does not appear to recognize the base station. Can anyone give me any troubleshooting tips as to how I can reestablish my wireless network and also connect my iMac directly to the Net. It should not be so much trouble to do so with all Apple equipment.
    Thank-you.
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    Gary as you say it shouldn't be this much of a problem with all Apple equipment.
    However sometimes after doing one thing or another you will need to do a system reset to make it work.
    Normally you simply connect from the Modem they furnised you to the WAN port on an Airport Extreme Base station that is the port with the circle of dots, and the port with the 2 arrows pointing away from one another is for plugging in a hardwired computer.
    It should be set up for the Airport to DHCP and it should assign IP's
    Most of us that use the Airport Extreme or Express Base Stations use the Airport Set-up Assistant and Airport Admin Utility Software that comes with your Mac with Airport technology.
    Often times if your confiquration is correct, and if you have a Power blip or you loose the connection there is a correct way to reset your system when about all else fails, and that is first turn off your computer.
    Next pull the Power adapter from the back of both your Modem and the Airport Base.
    Next is normally the hardest part because when this happens we are normally mad enough to throw it all out the window from jacking with it for an hour or 2.
    You have to wait at least 5 minutes.
    After your wait.
    Plug in the power adapter to the Modem and wait until it reaquires the signal and depending on the modem they furnished you want 3 lights from left to right.
    After you get this far and all looks ok you can plug in the Power Adapter to the Airport Base and again you must wait for the lights and signal, this will also take about a minute. NOTE: If you get in to big a hurry and don't let the equipment do it's work you will have to repeat to get it to work properly.
    Now that you have both of these up and running you can restart your computer. This is the recommended reset by almost all Modem and Router Manufactures.
    You should be good to go.

  • Having problems with one computer not "seeing" the Airport base station.

    Aloha:
    I have an Airport router hooked up to the internet via Cable. I have a laptop and G4 desktop talking to the the Airport Base Station via their respective Airport cards. This allows me to get to the internet with both of my computers. This system has worked just fine for several years, but recently my desktop computer has started to be unable to connect to my Airport Base Station. At first it was intermittent, but now it has stopped completely. The laptop continues to be able to get to the internet via my Airport base station.
    The desktop is running OS 10.3.9 and the airport card in the desktop passes the hardware test that came with the laptop. But it can no longer see the signal from the ABS.
    What might my problem be?
    Dan

    Hi Clinton:
    I have tried that to no avail. I don't see any
    signal, so I see no networks "in the box below" to
    choose. My airport card does not see a signal, but
    the airport card checks out ok in the hardware test.
    Thanks for replying, Clinton, much appreciated.
    Dan
    Have you tried choosing "other..." and then entering the name of your network?

  • Streaming from Denon receiver to Airport Express Base Station?

    Hello,
    i know it's possible to strem music, video, etc. from your apple device to a Denon receiver with airplay, but is it also possible, to stream sound from the Denon receiver to an Airport Express Base Station? I'm about to purchase such a Denon receiver and 2 Airport Express Base Station. To the Airport Express Base Station's i want to connect speakers, the Denon receiver will be connected to the TV and Bluray. So i was wondering, if i could stream the sound from the TV / Bluray, via the Denon receiver to the Airport Express Base Stations. Or is the airplay function of the Denon a one-way road?
    Thanks for feedback!
    Jay

    yes.

  • I can't connect the sound from my macbook air to the base station

    In system preferences the option for the base station comes up, but it will not let me click on it.

    Is your goal to stream iTunes from your MacBook Air to your AirPort Express Base Station (AX)? If so, check out the following Apple Support article to be sure that you have everything configured properly. Please post back your results.

  • Print from Win XP to printers on Mac 10.4 network

    I have a small home network consisting of an iMac and two G4 Powerbooks all running OS 10.4.4 with three printers all connected to iMac host computer. Powerbooks are connected via DLink DI-524 wireless router. I have no trouble printing to any of my printers(Epson Stylus 740, Lexmark X75, HP Photosmart 8250)from any of my computers (either wirelessly or directly conected). I just purchased a notebook running Win XP(SP2)and tried to connect to my printers using Bonjour for Windows. Of my three printers, I can only get one (Lexmark) to print using the Bonjour address. So the other printers I tried configuring to print via the 631 port; however, when I attempt to print this way, the material spools and says "printing" (on both printers) but nothing happens. Any help will be much appreciated.

    Did you ever solve this? I have virtually the same problem. I have an HP Deskjet 895 C connected via USB to a G4 running 10.3.9. Two ibooks connect via Airport flawlessly, and I can even share files between them and a Dell running XP professional, but no printer.
    The solution you used for your Lexmark might be good enough to solve my problem, but I'm not sure how to do even that.

    I upgraded to windows 10 but my apps wont work. So I downgraded to my previois version of window 7 preinstalled on my machine. But it asked for product key- the product key was incorrect. What the hell is windows doing?

    Windows 10?  Windows 10 hasn't been released to the general public yet. Are you talking about Windows 10 Technical Preview for Windows Insider computer experts?

  • Airport Extrem Base Station Connection problems

    Just purchased the airport extreme base station to replace my old router, but when I plug it all in the airport utility can't find it!

    A new Extreme creates an open wireless network that you must select. It appears in your Wi-Fi menu like this (except the words will read AirPort Extreme...):
    Select it. AirPort Utility will load and walk you through its configuration.

  • Problems with win vista and an AX to AX extended network

    Hi, I'm wondering if someone can help me out with a problem I'm having. I have a house with several floors and had patchy coverage from the Airport Express unit serving as a base station, at least down in the basement where my desktop is located. I decided to put a 2nd Airport Express unit halfway between, and choose to extend the network (using the Extend a Wireless Network option from the dropdown box, rather than WDS). For some reason, my pc won't connect properly to the 2nd AX, I get an IP address assigned, but can't ping anything. When I check the log, I see these entries for the mac address of the desktop:
    Apr 25 14:18:18 5 Associated with station 00:1c:10:e4:05:7c
    Apr 25 14:18:22 5 Deauthenticating with station 00:1c:10:e4:05:7c (reserved 2).
    Apr 25 14:18:22 5 Disassociated with station 00:1c:10:e4:05:7c
    Curiously, I have a laptop that works just fine, and I can confirm that it's connected to the extending station using the AirPort utility by seeing the wireless clients attached.
    On several occasions I have managed to get the desktop to the base upstairs (in spite of the patchy reception) and reception permitting, it works ok. Very strange!
    Other info:
    my setup is adsl+ > thomson modem/router (from the isp, O2) > airport express base station (via ethernet cable) > airport express extending station
    the desktop uses a linksys wireless g pci adapter, latest driver downloaded
    the laptop is a sony vaio running vista business, the desktop vista ultimate
    I am using WPA/WPA2 PERSONAL with AES encryption.
    I have an integrated modem / router from my ISP that acts as a dhcp server and is connected to the AX base station via an ethernet cable.
    My iphone also connects to the AX extending station
    The AX base station is broadcasting 802.11n (b/g compatible mode)
    Am I stretching the windows compatibility with this setup?

    Sounds like it should work to me. I run the following for a network: AExt Dual Band on 2.4 & % Ghz, AExp as extender on 2.4 Ghz, AExp on 5 Ghz as extender, an HP Notebook with Vista 32 connects on 2.4 Ghz, Older IBM Notebook runs XP connects on 2.4 GHz, a new DELL Intel Quad running Vista 64 connects on 5 Ghz. It all works without problems.
    I did have some connecting issues when I was using Norton 360 release 2.something. I upgraded to version 3, free with active subscription, and all issues have seemed to go away. Release 3 seems to be much more Apple aware.
    Would encourage you to call Apple Support. When I called, I found them to be pretty knowledgeable and they actually speak US English as their native language.
    Another tip, if you go to "Network & Sharing Center", you can see signal strength. I found this useful to tell where a particular system was connecting.
    Hope this helps, Good Luck!

  • Problems swapping out old Base Station for New ABE802.11n

    I purchased a new AirPort Extreme w/ 802.11n to replace my old dome shaped base station extreme but have been unable to get new AirPort to work. Network is set up as follows: DSL modem connects to base station to create a wireless network. Ethernet port out of basestation connects to wired network. An AExpress located in another part of house connects to network via ethernet and is also set to create a wireless network with identical name, password as one created by Base Station, thereby extending the range of the wireless network (and allowing streaming of iTunes over in-house stereo system).
    This set up worked perfectly with the old dome base station, but I have been unable to get new AirPort to create a functioning wireless network. It creates the network, but is then unable to connect to the internet. The wired network is working, and the AExpress portion of the wireless network is working, so I know its not my DSL connection.
    Things I have tried: setting up the new APExtreme with the configuration file from the old base station (fail), setting the new APExtreme up as a new network, with new name (fail), turning off the AExpress and creating a new network with the APExtreme (fail). In every instance I get a network, but am unable to connect to the internet. The DSL modem is assigning IP addresses, so I've set the APExtreme up in bridge mode, although I tried the other DHCP settings and using PPPoE option, also with no luck.
    Any guidance or insights would be appreciated.

    Nevermind - I got it to work by changing from bridge mode to having the Base Station assign IP addresses. Airport Utility says that this is a problem, but I now have a fully functional wireless network.

  • Problems setting up AirPort Express Base Station

    I'm a real newbie at this, so pardon the ignorance in advance haha.
    I just bought a new Airport Express base station. I wanted to be able to stream my music via iTunes to my living room. I'm just having problems getting the aiport utility to recognize the base station. I have the base station plugged in and everything. Right now it is flashing the amber light.
    This is my set-up. I have a Netgear WGR614 54MBPS wireless G router connected to my broadband modem. From the router I have it connected to my desktop thats running windows xp pro. The network is up and running just fine. I can connect via any laptop or other device with wifi. Now, how do I get my wireless router to pick up the base station? Do I have to wrong idea here or something? haha. thanks in advance!

    In the Airport Utility for your Airport Express, you should set the Airport Express in "client" mode. You might have to connect your Airport Express directly to your router with ethernet cable, while doing this. If you are using encryption, make sure that you enter the encryption number onto the express that your router/access point is using. Again, if you plug the Express directly into the router, you should be able to modify the settings quite easily. Once you unplug the express, it will blink orange for awhile (maybe a minute), so wait a bit.
    Good luck.

  • Does not having windows xp keep your pc from communicating with an apple airport express base station?

    Does not having windows xp keep your pc from communication with an apple airport base station?

    It say's this on the main Apple Website:
    Support for WPA requires Mac OS X v10.3 or later.  Use of Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) reduces the maximum number of network users. When joining an existing wireless network, AirPort Express supports only WPA-Personal. WPA2 requires a Mac computer with an AirPort Extreme Card and Mac OS X v10.3 or later.
    So it has to be on WPA-Personal.
    The Airport Utility should tell you what is wrong with it when it is orange.
    Also, is it running on the same channel? For instance, are they both running on channel 1? Are you extending a network, or creating a network?
    Hope that brain snap just puts everything together.

  • How can I print to Officejet 6700 from Win XP x64 computer?

    Purchased the 6700 and conencted to network and prints from Win 7 laptops fine.
    My desktop workstation in HP Z600 running Win XP X64, but cannot seem to get a driver to suit to print over the network.
    I would prefer not to have to trash and replace the OS on the workstation!
    Is there a work-around or some sort of interface that I could use?
    My home network does have a little HP server, but it runs Win Server 2003, which is also incapable to connecting to the printer.

    Welcome to the forums Etow,
    I saw your post about the issue you are having with printing from Google Chrome. Have you tried disabling your pop up blocker to see if that will help? Also see this guide about Printing with Chrome.
    If the above does not help, try using Firefox or Internet Explorer to print.
