Shared Printer Airport Extreme & LAN

I have a USB Canon i965 connected via USB to my imacG4. This is on a LAN that also has the Airport Extreme base station connected to it. Also on the LAN is a windowsXP machine.
Connected to the Airport is an imacG5.
I have successfully shared the printer with the XP machine using Bonjour for windows. The imacG5 (using the wireless connection)can see the G4 (verify the address etc during printer setup)but I have been unable to print from the imacG5 it says printing then "Job Stopped".
Does bonjour work with wireless connections or am I trying to do something that's impossible ?
iMacG5.1 Mac OS X (10.4.8) imacG4

I do have a router, the airport is plugged into the router.
My husband set it up but he's not a Mac person, he thinks I need to use something other than Bonjour to get the printing to work, but I can't find any alterntive ways to set up the printer. Here's the latest error essage from the logs
No log handling enabled - turning on stderr logging

  • Custom icon on a disk shared via Airport Extreme

    I have a USB hard drive that I am sharing via an airport extreme. In the finder, under "Shared" I see my airport extreme. When I click on that, I see my external drive. I would like to change the icon for that, but the standard Get Info -> paste doesn't seem to work.
    I've tried to set a custom icon on a test folder on my hard drive and it works. I also tried it on a test folder on the USB drive shared via airport extreme, and that worked. But I can't set the icon for the drive itself. Any suggestions?

    No, they pulled it, even though Steve promised the wireless backup feature in his latest keynote. One hour into it to be exact.
    http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/d7625zs/event/
    Now, I am very much against releasing a product before its ready, so I respect them for that. However Steve VERY clearly states that it was already working and would release with Leopard. He usually makes a very very clear distinction between things they "can/might" do and things that are working. He even goes into detail about how all the house macs can wirelessly use the same backup through the Airport Express. THEY EVEN HAVE A PICTURE of it!
    So they need more time, okay. But I feel lied to. The least they could do is make a press release with an ETA! The hush hush, makes it seem like they are going to scrap it and pretend it never happened.

  • Windows sharing on airport extreme

    I have a windows desktop running XP SP3 and a macbook pro. I just bought an airport extreme to replace my old linksys wireless router. Before installing the airport extreme I had no problem accessing my windows printer and shared folders from my macbook. Now that I've replaced the linksys with an airport extreme my mac no longer can see the windows shared resources. I've rebooted my windows desktop (many times) but that doesn't help. All of the resources are still listed as being shared. Is there some option on the airport extreme that I have to enable?
    Victo

    More information. I spoke with Apple tech support. They denied that airport extreme blocks any ports (and so there's no option to set). Yesterday, my two windows machines showed up in the finder, but I couldn't connect to them. I later rebooted the AEBS (for other reasons), and not they're gone again! I've tried running the program smbclient from the terminal, and it can find the windows computer names, but when it tries to communicate with them it times out. I've checked with a port scanner that the relevant port (138, 138 and 445) are open on the windows machine. I'm really at a loss of what to do. Any suggestions?

  • Having trouble setting up file sharing through Airport Extreme

    Hi, I am trying to set up file sharing on my USB hard drive through the Airport Extreme, on my HP laptop with Windows XP. I went through the steps in manual setup in Airport Utilities, and my hard drive shows up under the Disk Utility in the Airport Utilities, but the problem is that I cannot figure out a way to find the hard drive from Windows XP. Should it show up in My Computer? I've spent a few hours trying to figure it out and I am close to giving up. If anyone can help me solve this problem, I'd really appreciate it!!!

    I have this issue, too. Did you find a solution since you first posted?

  • Unable to view *certain* folders on a USB disk shared by Airport Extreme

    I have a 1 TB FAT32 formatted USB drive shared over an Airport Extreme (firmware 7.4.2).
    A few days ago I was reorganising media files on the hard drive. I created a subfolder in a folder called 'Movies' and copied a couple of VOB files into the subfolder. Suddenly, the entire contents of the 'Movies' folder vanished. I unmounted and re-mounted the shared disk on the Mac (browsing to the base station in finder and clicking eject). I am able to see all other top level folders and other files on the shared drive, but the 'Movies' folder is empty. The Airport logs indicated a problem with the volume, so I disconnected the drive from the airport, plugged it into the mac and ran disk utility to verify the disk. No errors were reported.
    Here is where it gets interesting.
    1) When I plug the USB drive into my Macbook Pro, I am able to mount the drive and browse all the directories, including the Movies folder - all my files are still there.
    2) If I plug the disk back into the airport and mount it on the mac, the 'Movies' folder appears empty.
    3) The hard disk usage reported (both in the airport utility and in finder) is consistent with the 'Movies' folder still being there, however the Movies folder shows up at Zero bytes in 'Get Info'
    4) If I open a terminal window and cd to the mounted hard disk, 'ls -al' reports no files. However, I can 'cd' to a sub-directory of the Movies folder that I know exists, and 'ls' shows all the files in the sub folder!
    I can even copy files in the 'Movies' folder to another location if I know then name - but 'ls' cannot see it, and neither can 'du'
    5) I attached the drive to a Windows machine and ran chkdsk and even did a surface scan - no problems reported.
    I'm stumped. Has anyone seen this wierd behaviour before? The disk is fine when mounted directly on a mac or windows machine - but when mounted and shared via the airport, the Movies folder is not visible, though it is definitely there!
    Help appreciated!

    Hello nikkjazz. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    The 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) supports USB storage devices that use a block size of 512 bytes ... and is true whether the device is formatted for HFS+, FAT16 or FAT32. If yours is not, then it may explain why you can see the folders when the drive is directly attached to the Mac, but not so when connected to the AEBSn.

  • Pc will not work with Airport Extreme LAN connection

    I have setup my Aiport Extreme Base Station and my Mac and phone work just fine with the setup. However, I connected a PC directly to one of the LAN ports on the back, and the PC doesn't see the network. Above the port the light is blinking green. Any thoughts? 

    Is the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) the only router in your current network configuration? That is, it is connected directly by Ethernet to your Broadband Internet modem? ... or to another router between the AEBS and the modem?
    When connected by Ethernet to the AEBS, can the PC "see" the Mac or vice-versa?

  • File sharing with Airport Extreme

    I've recently upgraded my Linksys wireless router with an Airport Extreme base station. Using the Linksys router, I was able to share files between my Macbook and my XP desktop. Now I can't seem to establish that connection.
    I should have everything set up on both the PC and the Mac, so I don't need instructions on how to do that. The only thing that has changed between when it worked and now is the Airport router. I've been through all the settings and can't seem to find anything.
    So, what do I need to do to re-establish file sharing using this new router?

    Please do tell what you did...
    I'm struggling to figure out my new AE setup too!
    Thanks,

  • USB Printing AirPort Extreme 802.11n

    I've upgraded to the new AirPort Extreme 802.11n base station and am having troubles printing to printers that worked fine with my previous AirPort Extreme 802.11g base station.
    Both USB printers are detectable for set-up in the Print & Fax Preference tab and can be printed to when hooked directly to my computer. They are also detectable for set-up in the Print & Fax Preference tab when hooked via the base station.
    So, all set-up and settings are fine. The issue I am having which never occurred before is that the file is sent to the queue but is immediately labeled as stopped and will not print no matter what I try.
    I've configured, reconfigured, reset,you name it but with no luck.
    does anyone have any answers out there. Please help...

    I have had the same issue repeatedly after upgrading to Leopard. I can no longer use my printer (Brother HL-2070N the "network ready one") with my airport extreme router. It used to show up before I updated to 10.5.2, now I can't even get it to show up at all. I reset the base station, unplugged, and then re-plugged in the printer, nothing worked. Then I tried to just delete it from my list of printers and re-add it, but now my computer can't find it! I didn't change anything on my network at all, and I had literally printed something just 10 minutes before I applied the update. Very frustrating for a $180 router.

  • USB Drive Sharing with Airport Extreme Problems

    We have a airport extreme with a usb disk attached and shared. We also have 2 vista systems and 1 xp system accessing the usb drive. In the airport extreme utility, file sharing is enabled with a device password. We map a drive to the usb drive and enter the username like such:
    local pc-name\address of the airport extreme
    and password is the airport extreme password. This will allow us to view and modify the contents of the usb drive but when we log out of any of the windoze systems, we are again prompted to enter username and password for the mapped drive. This is not the way it was designed, right? We also, in the map drive dialog box, select "reconnect at logon" and connect using a different name/credentials and still asked for the username and password when logging back into the windoze systems. We also tried enabling guest access on the airport utility and this will allow only 1 connection which will not work as we have 3 systems that need to access this drive. We also went 1 step further and reset the airport extreme in the event that we made some configuration mistake somewhere and this still does not work. We should be able to enter the username and password once and only once, right?

    No one has any ideas about this?

  • Latest model Airport Extreme: LAN NAS vs usb drive

    new  model AEBS: LAN NAS drive Vs usb connection. 
    Is there an actual (vs theoretical) speed advantage in using a NAS drive connected to one of the LAN ports, vs just connecting via the usb on the latest AEBS?  I read the usb performance is much better on the new model: 192 Mbps read and 172 write via usb as per cnet test:

    here's what Tesserax posted recently:
    Possibly.
    +Use the following guidelines for typical throughput performance of an AirPort Disk depending on how the network client is connected to the AirPort Extreme:+

  • Canon printer & airport extreme

    I just bought a canon printer & have unable to print from it through my airport extreme. I am able to print when it is directly hooked to my Mac. I contacted Canon & they said that the model (MF4350d) is not supported through a wireless connection through Airport Extreme, but it "does not necessarily mean that it will not work, but we are not able to provide configuration & troubleshooting."
    From what i have been reading.... it may not be able to be done, but I thought I would see if anyone had any suggestions?? I have read through multiple posts & have tried all the troubleshooting tips, but with no success!
    Help!

    If you look for a printer that connects using either wireless or ethernet, you'll be way ahead of the game.
    Apple does not publish a compatibility list of USB devices, so if you want to try another USB device, make sure that you can return it if it doesn't work.
    And, as you are probably aware, if you buy an all-in-one device, even if it works at the USB port of the AirPort, only printing will work. Scan, fax, copy, maintenance, etc are not supported.
    I understand, but cannot verify that Canon devices will not work to scan on the Mac operating system, so you might want to ask about that if you are looking at that brand.

  • Can't find hard drive shared using Airport Extreme

    Hi,
    I just bought a Airport Extreme and set it up to access the internet. However I am having trouble sharing my external hard drive. I followed the instructions in the manuals but can't see or find my "shared" hard drive on my Mac Air or PC?? I have open Finder but there is now shared drop down menu?
    I am fairly new at this so I am sure it is something small I am doing wrong. Hope some one can help me!!

    This set up was suggested to me by an Apple Store employee when I was shopping for my AirPort Extreme and that same employee seemed to indicate that this was how they actually performed their backups at the Apple Store, so obviosuly I was surprised to find information online that states it is not officially supported.
    Yes, unfortunately we've had a number of reports of similar statements by folks at the Apple stores.
    As Tesserax says, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. That's probably why Apple doesn't support it. See Using Time Machine with an Airport Extreme Air Disk (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
    In my case, it worked flawlessly for about 3 months, then every couple of days the backups would come up corrupted. Once, +Disk Utility+ was able to fix it; another time, +Disk Warrior+ could. The other times, the only solution was to erase and start over. Since then, it's worked well, although very slowly on occasion. And that's all with exactly the same hardware, in exactly the same locations. (And the disk is a Seagate Free Agent Pro, too.)
    This forum, and the Time Machine forums, have any number of similar reports.
    I'd strongly suggest you either:
    Return the Airport (and perhaps the disk) to the store. Insist on a full refund because of bad advice, and refer them to the Apple article.
    Take your chances, but by all means keep some sort of secondary backups. See #27 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum), for some recommendations.

  • Samsung ml-2010 printer + Airport Extreme

    I recently purchased an Airport Extreme and networked my samsung ML-2010 laser printer and a external hard drive. I have a usb hub (usb powered) connected to the AE. If i, for some reason, unplug the printer, change the toner, or turn it off then on later, the Airport will not automatically recognize it again. I have to shut off the Airport and turn it back on with the printer ON and connected for it to recognize it again. Is there any update, or fix, that would allow the Airport extreme to recognize the printer as plug and play???
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Nobody can give me some help? I want to make sure that the printer works before buying the Airport Extreme... :P

  • Sharing harddrive / Airport Extreme

    Hey, I have a Airport Extreme which I have connected a harddrive to. I wanna be able to access the harddrive from my iPad and iPhone but at the moment I can only access the harddrive from my MacBook Pro. I have downloaded the Airport tool for iPhone/iPad and I can see find my Airport but I dont see the harddrive.
    I would love some input on how I can fix this, so I will be able to access the harddrive from my handhelt devices?
    Is it possible to access the harddrive from outside the network like an fttp? (that would be awesome)
    Thanks
