Problems printing on Airport Express to Lexmark 510

I can print from my Powerbook Titanium G4 running 10.4.3 wirelessly without any problem.
I can't print from my Powerbook Bronze G3 runnign 10.2.8.
I have tried updating the firmware for the Airport express. I have updated the drivers for the Lexmark.
It works when connected by the USB directly. I can see the printer in Print Center. I can connect to the internet with this computer, but can't print. I tried to configure through the Airport Admin utility, but that doesn't seem to allow me to connect using this system so I cant make any changes. I have viewed the apple "Printer troubleshooting for Apple Airport Extreme...." and other than the problem with changing the configuration, I have done everything else.
Can anyone help? Thanks.

Problems printing via AirPort Express in Windows

Hi,
I have recently bought an Airport Express base station. I have configured it correctly, with PPPoE, AirTunes and Printer sharing.
I have a mac and a pc connected to Airport Express, and with my mac, the base station works without any problems. My pc (running Windows XP SP2) connects to the internet, but it cannot use the printer feature.
I have installed Bonjour for Windows 3, and when I boot the computer, it recognizes the printer (HP LaserJet 1320) immediately. But after a couple of minutes, it disappears, and the pc can no longer connect directly to the base station nor use the connected Bonjour-printer. Despite this, it is still connected to the internet.
Does anyone have a solution to my problem?

problem?
Try using this process instead.

Though I agree with RJ it probably is more a firewall or internet security software issue.

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.

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.

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.

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:

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

Airport Express and Lexmark P6200 printer

I get 'error message 9672' When I try to add my printer (a Lexmark P6250) through the Airport Express USB connector. The printer is fine when coupled to the iBook via wire. Could there be a compatibility problem & if so is there a way around it.

Ok, well I solved it on my end for now.
I called Apple Support and they told me there aren't instructions anywhere for how to connect a printer to the Airport Extreme via Ethernet because they can can only assist you if you're connecting your printer to the Airport Express via USB. If you're using anything besides a USB (Ethernet in this case), they "can't help." From what I understand, it has something to do with them (Support) being able to detect what's going on with your setup if your Airport is connected via USB, and they can't "see anything" if the connection is via Ethernet cable. She said I'd have to take it up with the manufacturer of the printer...
But--what I did instead--is I connected the printer to the Airport Express via the Ethernet cable, I went to "Print & Fax", deleted the old queue for the printer, added a "new" printer, and there it was, under detected devices via Bonjour!
Why couldn't she have told me to delete the "old printer" and add a "new printer" via "Print & Fax"?
Anyway, in retrospect, it was a relatively easy problem to solve (given my computer and my printer, a Samsung ML-2851ND). But with all these wires and configurations (not to mention excitement and expectation) etc, etc, things can get confusing.
Hope this helps!

I purchased the Apple airport express that connects
multiple
wireless-networked PCs to a usb printer.
is there a driver that can make this work?. I configured
the printer
according to the manual, received a test page and so on, but now it
takes ages to start printing and printing never gets to 100%
completion but to 99%. I am not able to cancel printing jobs and this
is a whole mess.

Can I Print Through Airport Express With A Lexmark x5150?

Am I able to print through A.E. with my Lexmark X5150 All-in-one? I'm having issues. It's recognized by my laptop, but won't print through A.E. It does, however, print when the USB is plugged into my lBook directly. I think I have the latest drivers installed. Can anyone offer up any suggestions/help? Thanks in advance......

The Lexmark X5150 is not on the list of supported printers found at http://www.efelix.co.uk/tech/1013.html . Based on your findings, I suspect this printer just won't work with anything but a direct connection to your Mac's USB port.
Not many all-in-one printers are supported for connection via an Airport Express. For those few models that do work, only printing is possible - other functions like scanning won't work. For some all-in-ones, an alternative driver can be found that will at least support printing - but I cannot find any alternative driver that will work with the x5150.

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?

Wired computers unable to see printer on Airport Express...help?

Hi all,
I recently set up an Airport Extreme on our office network to offer wireless network access piggybacked on our wired router. I then purchased an Airport Express which I was planning on using as a wireless print server for our Canon i9900 for all office computers connecting wired or wirelessly, which would interface with the network via the Airport Extreme Base Station.
I have configured the Express as an extension of the existing Airport network, and attached the printer to it via USB. All the computers in the office which have airport cards onboard can see and print from the printer, which is great. The problem is that all of the computers connecting to the network via wires are unable to see the printer (this is under both 10.3.x and 10.4.x, all airport software completely updated.) The Extreme base station shows up for all office computers in their Airport Admin Utility, AND if the printer is connected directly to the Extreme Base Station via USB, all computers can see the printer over Bonjour/Rendevous.
Anybody have ideas as to how I can get my wired machines to see the printer on the Airport Express?
Thanks!!

HP AIO 1315 Printer w/ Airport Express

Before I buy the Airport Express, is there ANYONE who has gotten this HP all in one to print wirelessly from a Macbook or ibook. If so, can you tell me how, & what drivers? Cups?
Thanx, my Mac bros.!

Hi Guys
I just stumbled across this post cause I've been troubleshooting problems with printing using a new AirPort Express and USB with my HP PSC 1350. I get the same error (9672) using the printer utility. After updating my HP software and print drivers to the latest versions and still no luck, I've been working with HP support on this, and they responded by saying that my 1350 is not designed to use USB printing on a network and that they recommend that I buy a new printer only one with Ethernet capability built in. They won't guarantee wireless USB printing on any of their products with Apple AirPort, even the ones that they advertise work.
I'm real frustrated by Apple's advertisements that if customers want to print wirelessly, just hook up a USB printer to your AirPort network and your all set. The fine print says to use a "compatible" printer, but what does that mean. So I bought an AirPort Express for the sole purpose of printing and I can't use it. I even went to the local Apple Store, and the clerks there told me that wireless printing using USB for the most part doesn't work and is not recommended.

Problems Setting-up Airport Express to Play Music thru External Speakers

Hi:
I have an HP dv6500z laptop connected to an HP printer C6280 via LinkSys wireless network using the LinkSys 54G router and PrintServer. It works fine.
I purchased an Apple Airport Express and want to connect it to this network so that I can play songs from within iTunes through external powered speakers wirelessly. The powered speakers are connected to the Airport Express (AE).
The AE is plugged into the AC outlet and the speakers are turned on. The AE is roughly 10 feet away from the laptop/router, just across the room. The AE's
LED is flashing amber (It does not yet recognize the network). I installed the Airport Utility from the enclosed CD, downloaded all patch upgrades and it installed successfully.
Now, how do I tell the Airport Utility to recognize and connect to my existing LinkSys network, so that the AE recognizes it ? The instructions are not clear on this note...they say to run the Airport Utility and then follow the on-screen instructions. The instructions tell you that you will lose your wireless network connection if you continue...and you do if you try.
The same information comes up if you try to do a manual install.
How do I connect the AE to an existing network ? This information seems to be missing. If I go to the AirPort Utility Help and search and search on Setting Up AirPort Express, it tells me the following:
Connect your stereo or powered speakers to your AirPort Express using the mini-jack on the top side of your AirPort Express, and then plug your AirPort Express into a wall outlet.
Open AirPort Utility, located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a computer using Mac OS, and in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a computer using Windows.
Click Music in the toolbar, and select the Enable AirTunes checkbox.
Problem: What Music in What toolbar ? I do not see this...
Enter an iTunes speaker name and password. This is the name displayed in the pop-up menu at the bottom of the iTunes window.
Problem: Where does this information come from
If you're setting up your AirPort Express for the first time, choose Assist Me from the Base Station menu and follow the onscreen instructions.
It seems like something is missing from the setup.
Aaah...Just for the heck of it, I went under Base Station > Assist Me
and told it to continue even though the dialog box said it would change the network.
It displayed a tabbed dialog box where I could configure the AirPort Express, including a tab named Music.
Note:
The following two items are listed in Apple's on-line Help inside of Airport Utility, and on the web, yet I did not see them inside of Airport Utility when trying t oconfigure my AE.
I did not see a checkbox to check, named Enable AirTunes.
I did not see any place for entering the name and password for my speakers.
I followed all of the instructions and things looked like they were going well until I clicked Finish.
Them it said something like it could not save the settings..try again.
Well, I did, but when I brought Airport Utility back up, it kept saying that it could not detect the AE,
and when I went under the Base Station menu, all items were grayed-out, so I couldn't do anything.
Please help... the instructions need to clearer and more detailed.
Thanx, Dale
HP dv 6500z Windows Vista New Airport Express

Hi:
Thanx for your reply.
After several more hours of trial & error over the weekend,
I finally have the Green Light (LED) on the Airport Express.
And it stays green, even if I unplug it from the AC outlet,
and plug it back in later. I have the green light so this
tells me that I have gotten past one hurdle.
OK...in order to get this far, I had the AE wired to the
laptop or LinkSys router via an Ethernet cable. How do
I go about making this a "wireless" connection. LinkSys
told me how to take my laptop from a hardwired connection
to wireless, but it doesn't address the issue when you have
a 3rd party device hardwired that you want to make wireless.
Side Note:
I have not tried this yet, but I found a note on the web that
stated something like this: after getting the green light,
this guy then disconnected the Ethernet cable from the AE,
unplugged the AE from AC power for a few minutes, plugged it
back in to AC power, and voila! ... he was wirelessly on his network.
OK...let's assume that my AE is now on the wireless network.
What type of special settings do I need to make inside of iTunes
in order to get sound to the speakers.
I have my powered speakers recognized by iTunes...I can select them.
But, it appears that something may be blocking my AE from talking to
my network...I keep getting a pop-up box from Symantec saying that it
is detecting a "virus" (for lack of a better term) at the IP address
that I set my AE to. Oh, yes...that's another question...
When manually setting up the AE, I have my router network's IP address
(dotted-quad) in the list of parameter settings, but...near the top of
the list, the Airport Utility software asks for your AE's IP.
Well, what is it ? Nobody has told me ... Where do I get it from ???
Or...do I assign an arbitrary value to it based on the dotted-quad below ?
The router has an IP address of something like 192.168.1.xyz. I know what
the xyz is for the router but, what number do I use here for the AE, or
does it matter as long as it isn't being used by another network device.
My network is static.
So, after using a number not used by my network elsewhere (that I am aware of,
and...inserting a $ (to specify hexadecimal format)in front of my encryption password, NOT the router password (they intermix the naming of these) I finally managed to get the Green Light on the AE. Note: I am using the WEP-64 bit encryption which is also refered to a "40 bit" (No..not hexadecimal..$40 = 64) which is 40-bit to which a random 24 bit is added to give you 64 bit encryption.
To summarize;
I appear to have the AE configured via hardwire (I have the green light).
In iTunes, I can see and select my powered-speakers from the drop-down menu in the lower right corner, but i am s not yet streaming (hearing) the music.
It appears that Symantic may be knocking me off the network, or not letting the AE talk to the laptop/router...I have not yet tried this, but another nugget that I found on this site says to go to System Preferences (where?), click on the Firewalls tab, click Advanced , and uncheck "Block UDP Traffic".
Is this what may be blocking my AE talking to the laptop/router ?
Any help/feedback would be appreciated...Thank you.
I'm getting close...but no cigar (yet).
