Problems with setting up USB printer on Time Capsule.

I've just bought Time Capsule (4th Gen, 2TB, Airport Utility v6.0) and got it connected to Internet creating private network. It works ok but I can't set up network printer via TC. The printer (Canon pixma iP90) is working fine connected directly to my iMac (Mac OS X 10.7.3) but I can't get it working through TC.
TC manual (pages 17&30) asks to open Printer Setup Utility, located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder. The problem is that I can't find this Print Setup Utility in the indicated folder.
Please help me to solve this puzzle. Thanks.

There have been a number of very recent changes....AirPort Utility 6.0 is one of them.....so things probably won't track with manuals that were printed months ago and have not yet been updated.
Connect the printer to the USB port on the Time Capsule and make sure everything is powered up.
Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
Open Print & Scan
Click the + (plus) button at the bottom of the printer list on the left
Hopefully, your printer or printer family will appear in the next window
Click on the name of the printer to highlight it
Click Add at the the lower right of the window
Try to print.
Be sure to select the correct printer location in the print dialog box since you now have the printer installed at two different locations....your Mac and the Time Capsule. You need to choose the correct location before you click the "Print" button.
Might be a good idea to make the printer at the Time Capsule your default printer in the Print & Scan box.

USB printing through Time Capsule from Ipad or iphone

I connected my printer thru the USB of my Time Capsule, and I can print wirelessly from my iMac, but my iPhone and my iPad do not see the printer. It has to be air printing enable or is there other way to do it?
Thanks!!

The bottom line here is the mobile devices use a different operating system than a Mac computer.

Print authentication problem with a shared USB printer

I'm trying to assist my brother with the setup of his new iMac i3 (running 10.6.4). He is converting from a G5 iMac (which was, I believe, on Tiger) to the i3 and has a Canon MP610 printer. The Canon MP610 printer has been connected via USB to the G5 with printer sharing on, and his wife has been able to print to the printer over Bonjour from her MacBook Pro (OS 10.5.8) when it was shared via the G5.
As soon as we moved the printer to the i3, she became unable to print from the MacBook Pro, because it began putting documents on hold in the queue and requiring authentication to print.
Nothing we've tried will ether allow us to get past the authentication or get rid of the prompt. We've deleted and re-added the printer multiple times, assured that the new i3 is the only one set up for sharing its connected printer - tried different user passwords to authenticate - we're stuck. My brother is the sole user/administrator account on the i3, his wife is the sole administrator/user on the MacBook Pro. The MP610 has been totally deleted from the old G5 so we don't think it is interfering.
They're in California, I'm doing remote support from Texas. The computers and printer are all in the same room in their home.
I've read posts this morning in the community about this issue but they all reference Windows networks.. there is no Windows or mixed Windows-Mac model in our scenario.
Please help! thanks in advance.

The layout of the print window is not the same as OS 9.x and prior. There will not be a choice for double sided printing as there was pre OS X unless the printer comes with an automatic duplexer.
You will have to figure out how to print odds and evens in separate jobs and do it manually.

USB Printing thru Time Capsule

I have a new MBA 13" (running 10.6.6) and a 2008 MBP 15" (running 10.5.8). My printer is a OKI c3200n and was set up on the Time Capsule (updated to 7.5.2) thru the MBP.
The MBA is about a week old and I cannot add the printer to the MBA. It appears in the TC printer tab and it appears in the "Add Printer" dialogue with the Location as the TC. However, when I attempt to select it, the "Print Using" dropdown menu does not find the driver using Autoselect, nor is my c3200n listed in the Select Printer Software choice (only Oki 24-pin and Oki 9-pin).
Further, I have downloaded the driver for Snow Leopard from Oki and installed it. I can use "Other" in "Print Using" dropdown to navigate to the installed drivers. However, selecting any of the 5 drivers available in the oki folder has no effect.
Originally, on the MBP, I downloaded the Leopard driver and set through the TC was a breeze.
Any suggestions to print off the MBA would be welcome.
Thanks,

Sorry for the delay in responding.
I had tried the "More Printers" option as well. When I choose "OKI USB", I get nothing. There is a dialogue box that has two columns "Product" and "Kind", but there's nothing listed for me to select.
When I choose "OKI TCP/IP", it finds the 3200 in a dialogue box with a single column table called "Model Name", but wants me to enter the "Internet address or DNS address" of the printer and I don't know what it would be. (I did a number of searches on how to find the address of one's own printer and did not find anything usable by me.)
I should note that I have the printer plugged into the TC by both USB and Cat-5. The MBP uses the USB, but my PC would not. I plugged a Cat-5 in and the PC found the printer that way and prints no problem.
I had read about the 32-bit issue, but didn't understand it at first. I thought I had to set the printer (which I can't find) to 32-bit. Re-reading it, I had to set the application itself (i.e., Safari) to 32-bit. I did that and was able to the add the printer through the Cat-5 connection (as discussed above) as a "Generic PCL Laser Printer". When I attempted to print, the display on the printer said "Invalid Data" and did not complete the print job.
Appreciate your continued help.

Problem with Airport wireless network utilising a Time Capsule. No internet connection?

Right, I have an Apple Mac and I am creating a Wireless network with an Apple Time Machine. I have had both devices for approx 2 years, they have be fine to date - until I now have the following issue: The Wirless network has been created and can be connected to but that network isn't then connected to the internet. IN have checked with the Cable network provider Virgin and there is a network without proplem provided to the Modem - I have also connected an ethernet cable to direct to the Mac and connected to the www, no probs. I have also asttempted to reset and set up my time capsule / airport again howver the same problem arises. When I go to network Diagnostics I Have a green light for the following; Airport, Airport Settigns, Network Settings,Network Settings, ISP then an amberlight for Internet and server.....Please assist!!!! Is this an ISP address issue. Welcome any help, Thanks in advance. Jimbob

Sounds like chaos..
How many outlets are we talking about and what specific equipment?
Do you really need routers on every one? How many clients do you use?
Basically there are three non-overlapping channels on 2.4ghz.. using more than three routers in the house is pointless as they will just interfere with each other.. range on 2.4ghz should be sufficient to reach at least half a normal house from one AP. If not there are better high power routers available.
And there should be just one device that is the main router.. all the other routers should be bridged/ wan bypassed so they are merely AP and switch. Otherwise NAT will cause issues to devices stuck behind a secondary router.

Problem with old VoIP between modem and Time Capsule

Hi, I hope someone can help me with this..
For a job I used to have, I had a D-Link DVG-5102S VoIP adapter/router that I had to have between my Motorola DSL modem and my Time Capsule WiFi.
The service that the D-Link was used for has been shut off for a long time, but I don't seem to be able to get rid of it. When I remove it, and try to re-configure things on the Time Capsule so that it has the DSL login info, my internet access stops working.
Currently, the D-Link has the DSL login info, and distributes 192.168.15.x addresses to the Time Capsule.
The Time Capsule has the following info:
Base Station tab:
Base station name, password, Back to my Mac account/password
Internet tab:
Connect using: DHCP, IP Address 192.168.15.160, subnet mask 255.255.255.0, Router address 192.168.15.1, Primary DNS Server 192.168.15.1
Wireless tab:
Create a Wireless network, Wireless network name <my WiFi network>, Wireless SEcurity WPA2 Personal, Wireless Password/Verify Password
Network tab:
Router Mode: Off (Bridge Mode)
Everything else is greyed out
Disks:
My time capsule backup disk.
Does anyone have any ideas for how I should go about getting rid of that stupid VOIP thing?
Thanks!

Your DSL modem has probably locked on to the D-Link box's MAC address. Since the TIme Capsule has a different MAC address than the D-link, the DSL modem doesn't know what to do with it.
(MAC address btw has nothing to do with Mac computers - it is an alphanumeric address that is assigned to each and every networking device that's made - yes, including Mac computers.)
Usually turning the DSL modem off and back on should reset it, and the next device that it talks to (hopefully the Time Capsule) will become its new best friend (i.e. it will "remember" the Time Capsule's MAC address). Some DSL modems have a setup page (or setup software) that you must run, to give it a new MAC address. And sometimes only your DSL provider can do this for you (they reset something on their end or something like that). If turning the DSL modem off then on again doesn't do the trick, and your modem either doesn't have a setup application (or you don't see a setting for MAC address), then you'll have to call your provider. Tell them that you switched the device that the modem is plugged into, and they should be able to help you out (theoretically anyway, your actual customer service drone experience may vary).

OSX Mavericks problems with iMail new mail sound and Time Capsule back-up symbol

Since I updated to Mavericks, the New Messages Sound in iMail does not work; there is no sound. As well, the time capsule back-up clock-face symbol in the top menu no longer moves when the computer is being backed-up. Any ideas?

Exactly what did you do? Did you do a full system restore, after starting from your Recovery HD, per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions?
When it was complete, I re-started my computer and I would see the Apple icon in the middle of my screen for about 10 seconds then the screen would go blank then several lines of messages were visible with the message the computer would not boot.
This one?
If so, that's a kernel panic. All you need to do is install a fresh version of OSX. See #E8 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.

Problem with HP 1220c USB printer - two-sided print greyed-out

My client has a Powerbook G4 550MHz with Tiger 10.4 installed and I installed the latest HP 1220c driver.
When my client attempted to configure the printer via the printer setup page under 'layout' the two-sided print is greyed-out. Why?
My client has admin rights.

The layout of the print window is not the same as OS 9.x and prior. There will not be a choice for double sided printing as there was pre OS X unless the printer comes with an automatic duplexer.

Am considering buying a Time Capsule. But all specs I read about it (re: printing) is how to hook up a printer via USB connection. Need to confirm...that a wireless printer will work with the router feature of the Time Capsule. I assume yes...?

A wireless printer connects to the network just like your computer, or iPhone/iPad, etc. connects using wireless.
The printer must be set up intially to scan to "find" available wireless networks, then your specific wireless network needs to be selected. Then the password for the network needs to be entered.
Once the printer is configured to join the network, it is always connected to the network. No further configuration is required.

I connected my Canon printer to time capsule, and can print OK. However, I can't get the printer scanner to work. How do you set up the scanner with Time Capsule?

You cannot use USB. It has to be a network capable printer.. is it?? You did not indicate how it is connected.. but by wireless or ethernet then scanning is possible otherwise not.

Anyone else had success with Kodak 5100 printing from Time Capsule?

So I recently bought a Time Capsule and until now have been happily printing from USB port on PC and now on Mac.
We were going to buy a wireless printer but found out that the Time Capsule supports that capability by connecting a printer to the USB on the Time Capsule.
So, set it all up, connected my Kodak 5100 and it appears to see it and lists the printer in the print utility on my Mac as location "Time Capsule".
Printer is on, paper in, ink levels ok.... print a test page and my Mac thinks it's printing but the Kodak 5100 Easyshare (!!) is doing nothing!
Having searched the blogs for a while, and mindful that the Kodak 5100 is a couple of years old now, I eventually found a solution that appears to work!!
You can download an older software for the 5100 here http://www.userdrivers.com/Printer/Kodak-All-in-One-Printer-Software-3-5-for-Mac -OS-X/download/
I have to thank someone else for suggesting this back in 2009 on another post on this forum but I can't find the post so thank you whomever it is, this still works! When you set up the driver, you need to select that you are connecting to the printer through another Mac - I think the only other option I had was to select USB connection. Once you are in, you'll notice that the software is not as user friendly as the latest versions but if you can print wirelessly from your Mac, then I'd like to think you won't care about the UI of the printer software!
I've only just done this and tested with a colour excel from MS Excel for Mac so will let you know if anything else doesn't work!

I've tried using an ethernet connection. It does work faster and I seem to get more files over, but it STILL eventually hangs. I've given up with Time Capsule and now backup to a Lacie 1Tb disk. It would nice to know what is going wrong you Apple guys!

Hi,
I am trying to Set/Get Volume level of Input device which has only single channel but no master channel, then it fails to retrieve the kAudioDevicePropertyPreferredChannelsForStereo and intermittently kAudioDevicePropertyVolumeScalar for each channel. But this works well for Output device.
So is there any difference in setting/getting the volume of input channels?
I am pasting the downloadable link to sample.

That works but the the game will not be in full screen, it will have an empty strip at the bottom.
I actually found out what's the problem. I traced the stageWidth and stageHeight during resizing event. I found out that when it first resized, the stage width and height were the size with the notification bar. So when I pass the stage into startling, myStarling = new Starling(Game,stage), the stage is in the wrong size. For some reason, I can only get the correct stage width and height after the third resizing event.
So now I need to restart Starling everytime a resizing event happened. It gives me the right result but I am not sure it is a good idea to do that.
And thanks a lot for your time kglad~I really appriciate your help.

Problem with SET GET parameters

Hi all,
I am facing a problem using SET and GET parameters.
There is a Z transaction(Dialog program) where some fields of screen are having parameter ID's. That transaction is designed to diaplay/change status of only one inspection lot at a time.
Now I need to call that transaction in a loop using BDC. I mean i need to update the status of multiple inspection lots(one after the other). Before calling the transaction I am using
SET PARAMETER ID 'QLS' FIELD lv_prueflos.
Unfortunately the transaction is only changing the first inspection lot. When I debugged I found that the screen field is changing in PAI. Even though in PBO it shows the next value, when it goes to PAI it is automatically changing to the first value(inspection lot).
Example: Inspection Lots : 4100000234
4100000235
4100000236
Now first time when the call transaction is being made the status of insp lot 4100000234 is changed. For the second time when insp lot 4100000235 is being passed in PBO ican see this. But the moment it enters PAI the screen field changes to 4100000234.
Could you pls help me in solving this issue.
Thanks,
Aravind

Problems with setting up my ISP's mail server in Windows Live Mail and Thunderbird

The laptop is a G60-535DX with Windows 7 64 bit. I've managed to setup my gmail account fine in Live Mail, but when setting up my ISP' mail server, it doesn't work. I get the message that the information was entered correctly, and I see the 'connecting' at the bottom of the page, and then 'error', and clicking on it shows a socket error #10061. In Thunderbird, I get a timeout error message. I've entered all the incoming and outgoing server information correctly, (I've done this over 8-9 times now), the ports are the defaults(110,25), no SSL, no authentication. I've talked with my ISP several times. Just a couple of hours ago was the last time. Their only other possibilities were that Live Mail had problems with setting up more than one account, that Live Mail needed updating, that Windows 7 was a new operating system and there were 'kinks'. I removed the gmail account, set up the ISP's mail by itself; didn't help. I checked for Live Mail updates, but found out that they all come from Windows updates(which are current). The folks on PCQ&A inform me that they have 3 or 4 accounts with Live Mail. I can get my mail, by logging onto my ISP's website, but that' kind of a nuisance. I posted this in Seven Forums and they didn't have any ideas. As I said, I also can't get my mail server to work in Thunderbird, either. I don't know what else to try. (short of activating the recovery partition and starting from scratch). Any ideas would be more that welcome.
Thanks,
Steve

Nevermind, it's fixed. One of the guys on PCQ&A suggested going to my ISP's website to see if they had a support page. They did and it stated that under certain circumstances that for the login ID the whole email address should be entered. For XP and Outlook Express one only uses the first part of the email address (your name); so just for grins I entered the whole address, name and all and everyting worked. Called my ISP and was told that that wasn't the way it's supposed to work. Well----
Thanks anyway,

I'm having similar problems with an HP OfficeJet 6500. One suggestion that improved the situation, but did not totally solve the problem, was to select "OfficeJet Pro L7700" for its drivers.
One other suggestion is to turn off the printer, then simultaneously hold down the "#" and "9" keys and turn the printer back on. This hot key seems to reset the printer to factory defaults, allowing you to set things up anew.
Finally, kvetch to HP. Their networking software clearly has problems in its relationship to OSX, but nobody on either side seems motivated to bring in a good therapist.
