Scanning through the Time Capsule with a Canon MP610

I have searched the forums and seen plenty of posts about this very same topic. I can scan when my Canon MP610 is connected via USB to the iMac but I cannot scan when it is connected to my time capsule. Canon customer support said I should seek help via Apple and I havent been able to turn anything up. I wont be buying a new printer again for a while, so what can I do?

Hello navyvet04. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Is there going to be an update that you know of or is this a hardware issue?
As far as I know Apple has not reported on, whether or not, they will provide an update that will support scanners or the scanning feature of multi-function printers on the AirPort USB ports.
If all else fails this will work with a networked printer through Ethernet?
Now that might be possible if the printer has the appropriate Ethernet capability and support network scanning.

  • My Time Capsule expired and no longer works. My printer (a HP) will now not work as it still wishes to connect through the Time Capsule. It will not allow itself be recognised through a USB connection to my Mac. Anyone got any ideas?

    You will need to install the printer on your Mac
    Open System Preferences (gear icon) on the dock
    Open Print & Fax
    Click the + (plus) button at the bottom of the printer list
    Wait for your printer to appear in the next box, then click it to highlight it
    Click Add at the lower right
    Be sure to select the correct printer when you try to print as you will see your printer listed twice. Good idea to make the printer now installed on your Mac the default printer so you do not have to choose which printer to use each time you want to print.
    You can also go into Print & Fax, select the printer associated with the Time Capsule and click the - (minus) button if you want to delete that location.

  • How do i set up the time capsule with only a wireless net work? it keeps asking me to plug in a cable and i do not have one.

    Are you using a v6 uitlity.. because it is a toy.. ??
    Get v5 utility and then you can hold down the option key and select the right mode.
    If you have lion, just install it.. For ML follow this.
    How to load 5.6 into ML.
    1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
    2. Download and install unpkg.
    http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
    Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
    You cannot uninstall 6.1 so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.

  • You must have connected the Time Capsule with a router that does not work with my direct cable from my ISP

    you must have connected the Time Capsule with a router that does not work with my direct cable from my ISP

    I tried to answer in your other post.. please stick to one thread ..
    What method of internet do you have.. is this fibre install.. if so the TC should just plug in and use dhcp in router mode.. press and hold the reset and it will go back to router mode by default.

  • I have an Ipad, I activated the time capsule with no issues. I added the airport Utility application without issue.  However, I do not know how to access the hard drive with either my Windows computer or the Ipad.  Does someone know how?

    I have an Ipad, I activated the time capsule with no issues. I added the airport Utility application without issue.  However, I do not know how to access the hard drive with either my Windows computer or the Ipad.  Does someone know how?

    On windows load the airport utility .. latest correct version as possible.. there is no windows 8 but win7 works after a fashion.
    Make sure the TC is using SMB compatible names.. short no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    Type the name directly into windows explorer.
    \\TCname or \\TCIPaddress
    If no luck turn off all the firewalls.. internal windows plus security software plus whatever other gargyoles and other rubbish AV software you have running.
    Ensure windows is able to at least ping the TC by IP address and name..
    Use the utility in windows to set file sharing to guest account on with full read and write access.. and set workgroup to WORKGROUP.

  • My PC won't connect to the internet through the Time Capsule

    I hope someone can help. I have a 4th Gen, 2TB Time Capsule with the following connected via WiFi: MacBook Pro, iPad, iPod, (2) iPhone 5, Apple TV, Playstation 3, HP all-in-one PC, and a printer.
    Up until a couple days ago all of them worked perfectly. I'm not sure what happened (I didn't adjust any settings) but suddenly ALL non-Apple products will connect to the Time Capsule but won't access the internet. It is very frustrating and I can't find anything that has helped yet. They will work proper if I connect using an ethernet cable but not via WiFi like they used to.
    I have unplugged and replugged the modem and Time Capsule, done a full system restore on my PC, gone through the settings on my Time Capsule (not sure what I'm looking for).
    Hope someone has heard of this and can give me some advice. Thank You.

    Did you happen to upgrade to 7.6.3 on the TC?
    That would be pretty funny if the new firmware causes all non-apple wireless products to drop out.
    I think we could get a very big fight going over such a thing.
    Although I don't know the reason.. apart from that dreadful firmware.
    Apple names are a problem.. why it should hit now after working fine I am not sure.
    But you need to do a full factory reset to the TC.
    Then give it all SMB compatible names.. (ie comply with windows networking).
    That means short, no spaces, pure alphanumeric.
    That will include TC network name, wireless names (different name for 5ghz) and hard disk share name.
    You should use WPA2 Personal security. With a pure alphanumeric passkey of 10-20 characters.
    Use fixed wireless (radio in Apple Speak) channels. For 2.4ghz there are only 3 non-overlapping. 11, 6, 1 and test them in that order. 5ghz doesn't usually matter so much but test down low.. say channel 40 and up high 157.. or ones near that in your country.
    Tell me if you still have issues..
    And go back to 7.6.1 firmware. Hold down the option key and select previous firmware if you are on 7.6.3

  • HT1178 Am I able to access my external hard drive through the Time Capsule when I'm away from my home?

    I am out of town a lot and I do a lot of photoshop/scrapbooking.  I would like to have my pictures and supplies on one hard drive that I'm able to access whether I'm at home or way.  Do you know if this is doable with the Time Capsule?  I know I can use the iCloud option but I'd rather not if I don't have to.
    Thank you,

    So if you don't want to use iCloud and BTMM, how are you going to locate the TC on the internet??
    There are several possible ways to directly access TC.. using AFP only.. ie you must use a Mac.
    The TC has to be setup correctly to allow remote access or the router you are using does.
    But more importantly what IP is the ISP going to give you.. have you purchased a static public IP?? If not your IP is constantly changing and you need to use a dyndns service to provide a connection to the TC.. this is what icloud and btmm do.. but they hide it to make it useless to any other service.
    TC does not have a dyndns client that is available for use by enduser.. so you need a decent router that does allow access and dyndns and you can bridge the TC behind it. All a lot of work to avoid icloud.
    For more details just google remote access time capsule.. there is plenty of info, youtube videos etc.

  • How to use the time capsule with my existing router?

    Here is my situation. I have Alltel PCD UM185 USB modem for their mobile broadband internet. I have a Cradlepoint MBR1000 router which I plug the usb modem into to share the internet through a wireless network which has WPA security on it. I want to use my 1TB time capsule to backup the computers in my house wirelessly and not as a router. What connection do I need to make and how to do I setup the time capsule this way? I can't figure it out. Thanks for any help in advance. If you need more information just ask.
    Thanks,
    John

    Steven's solution will work just fine if you want to connect the Time Capsule using ethernet.
    You might also consider configuring the the Time Capsule to "Join" the wireless network. In this type of configuration, backups would occur only over wireless and you could locate the Time Capsule virtually anywhere it can receive a good, strong wireless connection. Important Note...the ethernet ports on the Time Capsule are not enabled in this type of configuration, so you will not be able to connect using ethernet.
    Open AirPort Utility and click Continue
    Then select the option to "Join a wireless network" and follow the prompts

  • I lost the lan ethernet connection of an older windows 7 pc to my 3 Terabyte router when adding a new local printer to the pc. How do i set this up again so the PC is recognized and can get to the internet again through the time capsule?

    I recently added a new printer to a 2005 vintage PC that is running windows 7. It used to go through a router in my wifes upstairs office to the time capsule by wired ethernet (cat5) but when I added her new local printer thought I would network it, big mistaked, lost all my ethernet connection and she cannot get to the internet. Wireless not an option. How do i set up again the ethernet connection and i will only USB the printer locally this time for the windows pc?
    Tried windows diagnostics, and besides telling me to reset everything and turn router off and on etc. I am in an endless loop.
    Other Mac products are not impacted by this issue.

    I see no direct connection.. a printer and the computer setup for internet are not related.
    But it sounds like the router in the wife's office is now in the wrong mode..
    If you have an existing main router replace the second router for a switch .. that is the easy way.
    Otherwise you need to bridge the router if it has that option.. most do not. Or use wan bypass.. where you turn off the dhcp server in the router and fix its ip to match the range of the main router.. this is the hassle of using router as a switch.
    BUT I am making a huge number of assumptions.
    What I need is the full network layout.. a quick picture would help.
    I need main modem.. main router.. (maybe same box or different).. make model and current IP address and how dhcp is setup.
    I need secondary router.. if that is what it is, IP and settings.
    I want the printer type and model. How it is connected.
    BTW I much prefer to see a network printer plugged into the network rather than usb.. it is only a matter of sorting the IP settings and driver pointing to the network rather than local.
    Or you should think of it as a broken washing machine and call the technician.. who could fix the whole lot in an hour.

  • HT1178 i can't connect the time capsule with my mac using the aiport utility. i want to use the time capsule to make backup for my mac book pro. the time capsule is giving a flashed amber light. please advice me

    the time capsule is giving flashed amber light and i cant connect it to my mac book pro. i want to use it with the time machine to make backup for my mac. please advice me.

    To do the setup, plug it in via ethernet.. do not try to setup over wireless.. Once it is setup you can plug the TC into the network and use wireless.
    Most likely you will use the TC in bridge to an existing modem router.. but we cannot help as you have no details of the network setup.
    I do recommend in the setup of the TC you use SMB type names.. that means, short, no spaces pure alphanumeric.. as later Mac OS do have issues with long names, spaces and that apple shocker, the apostrophe.

  • How to connect my iMAC to the time capsule(with cable)?!

    I bought the Time Capsule Machine and I tried more than 8 times to do the backup.
    Always it takes some days and doesn't finish. So, I thought maybe the problem could be the connection without cables. But I don't know how to do it, I tried without success.
    Thank's

    Thank you for helping me, but I already tried and didn't work... Maybe I put it on the wrong place, but if I did it, I really don't know where is the wright place...
    There are 2 different kind of place to put on the time capsule and only one on the iMac... I tried both!
    Thank you again

  • Scanning Using the Time Capsule

    Has anyone use a Scanner connected thoriught the usb port in the Time Capsule?

    No, since only the print function is supported at the USB port of any of the Apple routers.
    Connect your All-in-One to the network using either wireless or Ethernet if you want full functionality.

    Quick question!!  Is it mandatory that I set up my time capsule as my DSL modem?  Based on the location of my iMAC right now it would be better to just leave the modem provided by my internet provider in place.  I really just want to use the time capsule as a back-up storage device for now and connnect the ethernet cable from my ISP at a later date.

    Generally it is easier to bridge the TC and plug it into the router.. it then lives on the network.. it is after all, a network drive.. and you can access it via your existing connection whether wireless or wired to the existing modem.
    If you really want a totally stand alone setup please tell me how you are presently accessing internet on the Mac you want to backup on the TC.

  • Using the Time Capsule with a Mac OS X 10.4.10

    I'm sure this post has turned up often, but I've searched Google high and low and cannot find an easier solution to my problem.
    Basically, I bought the Time Capsule because I wanted to use the wireless router and I wanted an external hard drive. I've read articles stating that, even though I don't have Leopard and thus don't have Time Machine, I can still use the Time Capsule's storage to manually back up files (MP3s, photos, movies, etc.). However, I cannot find anywhere to tell me exactly how to do this (and it's making me feel rather illiterate when it comes to Macs)...
    Could someone help me out?

    All you need to do is follow the Time Capsule setup guide. I believe the 1st gen. TC setup guide is non-specific for Leopard/Tiger OS.
    http://www.apple.com/support/airport/
    Perhaps you need to describe your setup, what you want, what you've done, and what doesn't work yet.

  • Can my NEW MacBook Pro mirror my MacMini through the Time Capsule?

    I have recently purchased a MacBook Pro w/Retina Display.  I also have a MacMini about one year old which is tied to my Time Capsule for backup.  What process does it take to make certain that tasks I perform on either device will sync with one another?  In other words, I would like the data on both to be identical as tasks are performed such as that which happens with the iPhone, iPad etc when an address is changed for example within the Contacts.  Thanks!

    As long as they're all logged into iCloud with the same account, they should all show the same Calendar, contacts, etc.
