Setting up HP L-7590 via usb to wireless router, help needed..!

Hi,
I have been using my L7590 via lan to a wireless router for a few years... that was perfrect...
Recently I had to change router because of change of ISP. The new router is a Huawei B683... the problem I have is that this router does not allow LAN connections from the router ...!! It does has a USB port that is for the printer...
I am unsure as to how I setup the printer connected via usb to the router....
Do I use the network installation setup...? Or do I use the USB setup...??
Any help is greatly appreciated...
Thanks

Hi,
Connecting the printer to a router's USB port (aka. print server) will only allow you basic print functionality , it won't provide you any scan functionality, faxing from the computer, ink levels or any operation of the HP Solution Center program.
To get full functionality you must work with the provided functionality which means USB connection directly to a single PC or Ethernet connection to a router.. therefore using an Ethernet router will be the preferred solution for you.
In order to setup the printer as you described you should connect the printer to the USB port and go to Control Panel > System. click add a printer and add it through the network.. there might be a need to enter your wireless homepage to enable the printer through the USB, there might be additional setup information in there.. that veries between different print servers and you may contact Huawei support or your ISP for any assistant within the print server configuration.

WHEN I USED TO CONNECT INTERNET FROM MY IPHONE 4S PERSONAL HOTSPOT VIA USB, AN ICON IN THE NETWORK PREFERENCE NAMED "IPHONE" GETS OPENED.... BUT NOW THIS IS NOT HAPPENING AND I AM NOT ABLE TO CONNECCT PERSONAL HOTSPOT VIA USB CABLE. PLEASE HELP ME OUT

Please don't shout! Using all uppercase means shouting on the internet. If your keyboard is stuck please say so, otherwise people will think you are being obnoxious.
Now the first question is, when you are saying connecting to personal hotspot, have you always been using the iPhone to connect to the internet? Are you someplace where the only place to connect is available via tethering to the iPhone's celluar network? Or do you have other options?

I want to set up the Time Machine and I would love to use the Time Capsule but since I already have a wireless router I need suggestions on what other external disks Apple could recommend to use with the Time Machine and how to configure that disk

I want to set up the Time Machine and I would love to use the Time
Capsule but since I already have a wireless router I need suggestions on
what other
external disks Apple could recommend to use with the Time Machine and
how to configure that disk.
A complication that I need to resolve is the fact that I am using Vmware
Fusion to be able to use Windows on my Mac. Now it seems that Time
Machine is not backing up my files
on that virtual Windows without additional configuration and my question
is whether you can advise me here or whether this is only a matter for
the Fusion virtual machine.

If you want to use Time Capsule you can.. you simply bridge it and plug it into the existing router.. wireless can be either turned off or used to reinforce the existing wireless.. eg use 5ghz in the TC which is much faster than your 2.4ghz.
You can also use a NAS.. many brands available but the top brands are synology, qnap and netgear readynas series. These will all do Time Machine backups although how well always depends on Apple sticking to a standard. There are cheaper ones.. I bought a single disk zyxel which was rebadged and sold through my local supermarket. It actually works very well for TM at least on Snow Leopard. Major changes were made in Lion and again ML so do not instantly think it will work on later versions. I haven't tried it yet with those versions.
Any external drive can be plugged into the mac. Use the one with the fastest connection or cheapest price according to your budget. USB2 drives are cheap and plentiful. But no where near as fast as USB3 or FW800. So just pick whichever suits the ports on your Mac. Interesting Apple finally moved to USB3 on their latest computers.
TM should exclude the VM partition file.. it is useless backing it up from Mac OS side.. and will slow TM as it needs to backup that partition everyday for no purpose.. TM cannot see the files inside it to backup just the changes.
You need to backup windows from windows. Use MSbackup to external drive.. if you have pro or ultimate versions you can backup to network drive. But MSbackup is a dog.. at least until the latest version it cannot restore the partition without first loading windows. There are about a zillion backup software versions for windows.. look up reviews and buy one which works for you. I use a free one Macrium Reflect which does full disk backups and is easy to restore.. to do incremental backups though you have to pay for it.

Since upgrading, both our wireless printers are still visible, but OSX will not connect with them. Both work via connecting from other sources via the same wireless router (airport). What do I need to do to get my printing/scanning working again?

First thing to try is reset Printing System:
OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system
Next would be reset the router (power off 15 secs then back on). And, 2 minutes later, reset the printers 1 by 1.

5510 - prints via USB and wirelessly but can't print emails from ePrint on iphone

Just installed new Photosmart 5510. Prints fine via USB (main computer) and wirelessly (laptop) but I can't print anything from ePrint app on iPhone. HP ePrint Home & Biz works from iPhone but it doesn't have email printing function!

Hi Andy760,
From your iPhone, printing email would be from Apple Airprint. With your email open, touch the action button and select Print. You might have to select the printer, but it should print fine at that point.
To send email to print by using ePrint, you would forward the email to the printer's ePrint email address. Have you registered the printer on www.eprintcenter.com?

Need help setting up Airport Express A1084 in Windows 7 via Netgear WNDR4500 wireless router

Hello All. I bought a used Airport Express A1084 off the net. Never had one before. My intention is to remotely control (via my iPhone using Apples Remote app or possibly XBMC) a "pc with music" and stream thru the AE connected to a boombox. I want to be able to take AE and boombox to the front yard, back yard, garage, or wherever my Netgear WNDR4500 will reach.
So far I have hit the reset on the AE and while holding, plugged it in to power (still holding) until the green light blinked. I let it go. Waited for it to complete booting (slow blinking yellow/amber light). The AE did not show up in Airport Utility ver 5.6.1. I uninstalled that version and installed older Airport Utility ver 5.4.2. Same results. I power cycled the router, turned off the Norton 365 firewall, and still get nothing. At one point though, I walked away for a while (an hour or so), came back and saw the AE listed in the left window pane of Airport Utility. I thought maybe I just didn't wait long enough so I clicked Manual Setup and it started to read the AE but Errored 10057. I tried again and got same error. I refreshed and the AE was gone.
Can someone tell me how to correct this so I can confirm I didn't buy a "brick"?
Thanks in advance,
Tom

Just so you are aware, the A1084 AirPort Express is a 802.11b/g wireless router that can only operate on the 2.4 GHz band. Regardless, it can be configured to join the wireless network provided by the Netgear as long as that network is configured to be backwards compatible with 802.11g clients. However, in the long run for performance, you do NOT want any non-"n" wireless clients connecting to your Netgear's network.
The 5.6.1 version of the AirPort Utility for Windows does not support the non-"n" version of the AirPort base stations. You would need to use an earlier version that will still run on Windows 7.
One thing to try would be to temporarily connect the Express directly to your PC using an Ethernet cable, and then, try accessing it with the AirPort Utility. If you are still unable to do so, you may have gotten yourself a defective unit.

USB PC to PC: help needed to use it.

I am having difficulties using the USB PC to PC file transfer between two computers. I installed USB PC to PC, latest version, on both computers and connected them via USB cable. I also made sure that the folders are set as "shared", and accessable by "everyone". I can see the other computer, from Windows Explorer, My Network Places, Entire Network, "Microsoft Windows Network", but when I try to "Map Network Drive" or log on to the other computer, I can not.
Please, help.

Yes, if the drive is formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
The USB port on the Time Capsule is under powered, so you may need use a powered USB hub with the 4 TB drive...even if it has its own power supply.

I have no mouse or keyboard. I have tried USB and wireless. Help?

How to set up my MAC to print on XP wireless Router

Is there a site out here where I can get detailed instructions (in proper sequence) to get my wife's brand new laptop to print on shared network We have an XP laptop and desktop. Desktop is hooked up to a hp2175 printer. I had no problems using the wireless router to access the internet, but now I'm really at a lost of how to get the mac to print like my XP laptop.
Any help and detailed guidance is appreciated.

1. Set it up with the iCloud options in System Preferences. I am not sure you will get a mac.com address unless you alrady have one, probably a .icloud.com
2. I have used it for 6 years and I am happy with it.
3. Don't know.

Air Play mrroring. 4.4 via USB and iTunes. This needs a type B micro USB cable.

as per heading.
It worked thanks to other posts but little thanks to Apple who cost me £1.05 by not answering my call.

I have now solved my tethering problem - I didnt need to use terminal.
I downloaded the kext utility, unzipped it and put the .app file into my applications folder, then I dragged the kext file from my laptop (AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext version 2.3.0)
The utility replaced the one that itunes 10.7 must have installed or modified into a backup folder and installs the one from my laptop where I was still on itunes 10.6.3 and it has the same permissions as the other files in that folder system/library/extensions
I rebooted and plugged my iphone in via the usb charger/data cable and immediatly the system put up a window stating:
A new interface has been detected
the "iphone USB" network interface has not been set up. To set up this interface use network preferences"
I then clicked the blue button NETWORK PREFERENCES
This showed the iphone in NOT CONNECTED status so I clicked on ASSIST me and just keep going, you will notice the red dot beside the iphone changing to orange (no IP address) then it changes to green and all is well!!
Thanks a million to Hibernian56 and whoever made kext-utility!!
No thanks to apple for not testing their software properly and wasting my time with hours of reading online!!!
Im on 10.6.8 on both machines
The problem with the kext file that was updated by itunes 10.7 was that the machine no longer detected the iphone thru the usb cable. Thanks to the other users on here its now fixed! ;-)

How to det if HP printer is communicating to Airport via USB or wireless

Been using my new iMac and Airport base station for only 1 week. I have the Airport base station connected via a USB cable to an HP all in one 3300 series printer/scanner/fax. The printer has built in wireless capability. However, it is on the old 802.11g/b technology. Representative at the Apple store instructed me to hook up the printer to the base station via the USB port, instead of using a wireless network. Apple store representative mentioned that having one product on the wireless network which communicates using the old g/b format, will slow down all of the other communications on the network (internet, iMac, etc). So how do I determine if the HP printer is communicating with the network via the USB or using the built in wireless protocol??
One more issue - I am trying to get my old Windows XP based HP PC to communicate with the same printer. I installed a NetGear transmitter (with the 802n technology) on the old PC. The old PC communicates fine to surf the internet. However, printing does not work? The HP printer software is still on the old PC - did not remove it while moving the computer to a different room.
Help with either issue would be much appreciated.

If you want to scan then you will need to use the wireless connection.

Did you connect the printer to the wireless network? It won't generally do this automatically.
Unplug the USB if you can still print then the printer is connected wirelessly.

Setting up a Hp Printer on a WRT54G wireless router...

I know there has to be a simple way to do this right? The router is set up to DHCP, do I go into the printer settings and give it an IP? Then just connect it from the printer to one of the 4 ports on the router, then I should be able to see it from any pc on that home LAN... Right??

This problem was recently discussed in this forum. Please see the following thread:

Help! Lost my installation CD for my 0404 USB. Urgent! Help needed please!

Hi all,
Please could someone send me or provide a link to the installation drivers for the 0404 USB for Windows XP? I am really desparate and have looked EVERYWHERE I can think of on the internet with no luck.
History:
I reorganised the cabling around my PC, and in doing so, somehow my USB hub seems to have stopped working. When I plugged my 0404 directly into a USB hub on the PC it didn't recognise it. So I thought I'd uninstall and reinstall the software. Then I realised I had lost my installation CD, and then found that E-MU / Creative websites don't have the original installation drivers that come on the CD on their website. This has completely warped my feelings about this company in one fell swoop. Having been very happy for prob 2 years with the E-MU 0404 to find that they have seemingly intentionally left off these drivers from their site and therefore wasted probably 2 hours of my time in the last 24 hours is maddeningly frustrating.
Thanks in advance for your assistance,
David

I have never used driver installation found in original E-MU 0404 CD but only the installation you can download from E-MU support pages (remember allow firmware upgrade as well).jutapa

Can't Get Sony PSP To Connect to Internet via my WRT54G Wireless Router

Hi:
I hope someone can help who was able to do this. I have tried everything and the PSP will not connect to my network. I use WEP security and a MAC address filter. I even turned both of these security features off and it still won't connect.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Paul

I have version 1.1, but it has the latest firmware revision 4.21.1 of January 30, 2007. The firmware notes state it supports up to hardware version 3. So you think this router won't work with the PSP because it is too old?
