Scanning through time capsule usb

I have a Canon Pixma MP 760 which I love and it prints through my USB Time Capsule connection. Is there anyway to get it to scan through that connection.

Yes.. you must use it locally.. The very nature of a USB device is that it is not a network device.. it is local device.. plugging into the TC fudged the network for printing.. although it fails as often as it succeeds but the scan side is very specifically local device..
Next time you buy a printer buy a printer with network functionality.. printers btw are cheap.. it is toner and inks that are expensive.. it therefore can be well worth just buying a new printer if you want something that has network scanning ability.. make sure what you buy is airprint compatible.. and has excellent software for the Mac. Brother is good.. Samsung seems to be good.. I stick to old office type HP with postscript.. !!

    can i daisy chain (firewire a 1 TB d2 la cie through the 350) and still see both and access from network in finder???
    Sorry, but I really don't think this is something that the TC's USB port & File Sharing function would be able to support.
    Have you tried this combination connected directly to your computer? ... and did it work?

  • Printing/ Scanning through Time Capsule

    When I try to scan with my Canon All-in-One, I have to plug the scanner directly into my iMac, when I want to print to the AiO, I have to plug it in to the Time capsule. Is there a way to stop this insanity?
    Thanks.

    If I hardwire the connection between the TimeCapsule and iMac, will I be able to scan?
    Thanks.

  • Is it possible to print from iphone 5 through time capsule on wi-fi, usb connected to printer (no AirPrint support)?

    Is it possible to print from iphone 5 through time capsule on wi-fi, that is usb connected to printer (no AirPrint support)?
    I can print on the same printer on my Macs...was wondering if I could do the same with iOS devices?

    Try Printopia. There is a free trial, so it will cost you nothing to find out if it works.

  • Can't print through Time Capsule, but I can using USB to my MacBook

    I posted something similar in the Time Capsule forum, but thought I'd try here too. I just got a new Canon MF4690, and I can print to it using USB from my MacBook just fine. Not so when printing wirelessly through Time Capsule. I can see the printer, but the job stops every time. When I set up the printer the driver is "generic" using the Time Capsule connection, but has the specific model number when I add the printer using USB.
    I can see the printer in the Printer preference pane, and in Airport Utility, but when I print a job, under "status", it says "stopped". I'm baffled that this is happening! I hope someone can help.

    Would I connect my Canon to the TC and set up the printer? Do I choose IP, AppleTalk or Other?
    If the TC is providing the wireless access and is your only Ethernet hub, then yes you would connect directly to it. If you have another Ethernet hub connected to the TC, then you could connect the Canon to it. Either way, you want to use the Ethernet connection of the Canon and set a valid ip address in it.
    With an ip address set, you can then add the printer by using the More Printers > Canon IP (UFR2) menu. This window lets you enter the ip address of the Canon and a queue name of LP. Then when you press okay, the UFR2 software should select the correct driver for your printer.

  • My Canon MF4100 works connected direct to iMac, but not through Time Capsule

    Hello, I cant seem to get my canon laser printer to work when connected to the time capsule.  It works fine when connected directly to the Mac.  I have downloaded the most recent drivers from the Canon website.  I have tried almost every solution I can find: deleted all printers, reinstalled, installed connected directly to the Mac then try to add through time capsule, restarted time capsule, reset time capsule, etc and nothing seems to work. 
    I also have a PC connected to the time capsule as well and the printer is not visible to add on the PC but I believe once I can get it to work on the Mac the PC will work.  I am assuming I have a printer that is not compatible but it works perfectly well and dont want to spend another 300 on a printer.  Very frustrated please help.  Thanks!

    You need to install Bonjour Print Services on the PC to make it work.
    The MF4100 might not be TC compatible. You might be able to use a powered USB hub with the TC, or use a WiFi print server (these can be found quite cheaply).

  • Wi-Fi connectivity lost, ethernet through time capsule works fine. Wi-Fi adapter broken??

    Weird... I have been using my iMac through Time Capsule.... Wi-Fi set-up works fine for iPod, iPad and Windows PC. Last week I lost my connectivity on iMac temporarily... it re-connected automatically several times, but after yesterday the connection didn't come back. Hooked up my Airport Express for speakers so now I'm connected through Airport Express and Ethernet connector on iMac. What can be wrong here??? Any help is appreciated, and hey, no, the iMac is within Wi-Fi distance!
    Thans a lot..

    Try downgrading your TimeCapsule to 7.5.2 (it proved to solve almost all the problems with Time Capsule). You can check how to do it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1218

  • Can I access multiple USB printers through Time Capsule?

    I just bought a Time Capsule, and I'm loving having my USB laser printer available on my Airport Network. In fact, I'm loving it so much that I'd like to have my USB photo printer available as well.
    Is it possible to have multiple printers available through the Time Capsule connected to a USB hub?

    Bingo! It worked, many thanks!
    I wish I could remember which associate at my Apple Store said it wasn't possible; that he'd tried every way he could think of short of hacking the Time Capsule.
    You've really helped increase the utility of my network, and I appreciate it.
    Happy Holidays!

  • Access exFAT formatted USB hard drive partition through Time Capsule 2013

    I am trying to move data, mostly music, from my old PC to a wirelessly accessible HDD that we can get to from our MacBooks running OS 10.6.8.  I have a 2013 Time Capsule with a USB hard drive attached, but I can't see the exFAT partition containing all of the data (on my Mac).  I can see the other two partitions, which are formatted for a Mac.  I can also see the exFAT partition on my Mac when it is plugged in directly, I just can't access that partition through the Time Capsule.  Any ideas on how to remedy this?  Or if there is a better solution for moving this data.  We don't care about accessing the data from the PC any longer.  We are going to get rid of it.  We just need a place to keep all of the data where we can get to it.

    You need to connect the drive directly to a Mac, copy the data to another location, reformat that partition as Mac OS Extended (Journaled), and put the data back onto it.

  • 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.

  • HP Photosmart C4480 through Time Capsule

    I have a Vista machine and my wife has a Macbook Pro she just got. We both wanted to share a wireless printer so the guy at the apple store suggested we get the Time Capsule and the HP Photosmart (actually we got the 100 off printer deal so we got that one because it had both mac and pc drivers).
    We both installed our software, and were able to see the Time Capsule on the wifi. We both printed just fine off the printer and all was right with the world. Flash forward a day or so and we tried and failed to print on both machines. I had to unplug and reboot the time capsule, then we were both able to print fine.
    A few days later my wife was printing off my machine and got several pages done when suddenly it stopped working, giving her a print error. When I got home we tested it from her machine and she couldn't print either. We had to reboot the time capsule again and suddenly it works fine.
    I am not the most mac savvy person so I am begging for some help from more knowledgeable folks. Has anyone had issues with USB printers through the time capsule suddenly stop working and require a capsule reboot? The error seems to occure regardless of whos computer we print from and we cannot reproduce it. It just happens sparaticly.

    A multifunction device connected to the Time Capsule's USB port can only be used as a printer, or external drive if applicable. No other functions will be handled by it.

  • How do i access an external hard drive through time capsule from my macbook

    I've just bought a 2GB Time Capsule but I can't see my external hard drive plugged in to the Time Capsule's USB in Finder from my Macbook.
    When I plug the hard drive in to the Macbook the drive appears on the desktop. HDD was originally set up for a windows machine, I've read some other posts that say the Time Capsule won't back up the drive unless it's Mac Formatted... does the same apply if you are just trying to access it and copy files etc?
    I'm connected wirelessly through the Time Capsule.
    Thanks!

    Thanks Niel
    ... so if I have a correctly formatted HDD, I presume I can just see the HDD in Finder under 'Data' in Time Capsule?
    I might just transfer the files I need from my HDD connected to my Macbook on to the TimeCapsule over the wifi and sort the formatting issue later.

  • Time Capsule USB Expansion

    I have a time capsule in my home that I want to attach a usb hard drive to. My time capsule only has 1 usb port and I usually use that port for my printer so I can print wirelessly.
    I bought a usb hub to try and expand the usb ports but the hard drive won't be recognized on the server when it is plugged into it.
    If I connect the hard drive directly to that 1 usb port, it works fine.
    How to expand the usb ports so I can begin attaching drives to access through the server?
    I am open to all suggestions.

  • No scanning trough time capsule network

    I have a time capsule with a airport express attached to it.
    Everything works fine.
    Backup
    Music streams
    Printing.
    But my HP F2420 absolutely refuses to scan in the network.
    It does scan on USB connection (so the scanner is OK)
    But the software sais that there is no scanner found in the network WHILE IT SEES THE PRINTER (and thats the same machine.
    Anyone a hind?

    The USB ports on the Time Capsule and AirPort Express only support the printing function. Advanced functions like scan, fax, copy and maintenance are not supported.
    You will need to connect your all-in-one device directly to your computer when you need the advanced functions.

  • XP Printing Through Time Capsule

    I have a 1T Time Capsule, MacBook Pro and a XP Machine. I have a printer connected to the TC via a USB cable so i can print wirelessly and hard wired. I can print from my MacBook (wireless, wired) with out any problems. If I connect the XP machine directly to the printer bypassing the TC I can print but I can't print from the XP machine through the TC. The print fails at the "checking printer status" dialog.
    All my drivers are up up to date. I tried rolling back the XP machine to a time when i knew that it worked. I have also tried reinstalling all related software (bonjour, print drivers).
    Strangely, I have been able to print from XP using Bonjour without problems until about 3 days ago.
    Thanks in advance

    Had a similar issue. We have two Macs sharing a Canon through an Airport Extreme. I had just updated a bunch of Mac software and somehow doing so caused the printer sharing checkbox to become unchecked in Sys Pref/Sharing. I checked it and all was working again.
