Stereo, Printer, and Internet via 1 Express?

Can I do all three via one express? Thanks!

Have you followed the steps in KB 107456, AirPort Extreme: Sharing a printer from the base station's USB port?

  • Connecting printer and internet via ethernet port

    My iMac has only one ethernet port, and previously I had the printer hooked up to it. Now we have high speed internet but it requires the same port. When we try switching back and forth, the internet still works but the printer doesn't.

    Hi
    I would recommend that you invest in an inexpensive router, which should include a number of (commonly 4) ethernet ports. This will live between your high-speed modem and all your network devices, including your computer and your printer. You can then, of course, add more wired computers , and they will all be able to access the printer.
    D-Link and Linksys are decent brands for simple home routers.

  • HT3669 Failed printer setup, bonjour via airport express on 10.8.3, unable to download drivers?

    Trying to install a Samsung SCX-4500 printer over bonjour via airport express. My Mountain Lion machine sees the printer and I've manually installed the latest Samsung drivers, it says it can't find the software on Apple's servers. I just downloaded the latest drivers from Samsung directly, it did not resolve the problem.
    I am unable to select printer drivers manually for the 4500; even if I manually select the 4500W drivers it still attempts to download software (unsuccessfully). It works perfectly on 2 Lion machines and a PC, unsure what the deal is.
    I'm having trouble even getting the post message' button to work now, it isn't my day...

    Link to Apple supplied print drivers:

    You can also try resetting the print system:

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • HT1515 How to setup laptop use both 3G internet and audio via Airport Express

    Laptop connected to internet via 3G mobile phone network, but when connected simultaneously an Airport Express to stream audio, the laptop can not connect to internet as it try to connect internet through Airport Express. So how to setup to use both.

    Thanks jakeloveslucy.
    I tried to setup the network by using Airport Utility, the problem is Airport Utility can not find Airport Express while I can use Airport Express to stream music very well. Can you suggest to fix this.
    I use windows 7 64 bit sp1 ; Airport Utility 5.6.1.

  • Unable to connect to Internet via Airport Express - 'cannot contact server'

    I'm unable to connect to the internet via my Airport Express. I'm using OS 10.3.9, and had the same setup with no problems at a previous address, but with a different modem from the same ISP.
    My AE is connected - the light is green - and my mac is connected to the network in Internet Connect. But when I open Safari I get an 'unable to contact server' message.
    I've tried rebooting everything (modem, AE, Mac), and leaving modem/AE off for several minutes. Also reset the AE, but to no avail.
    The connection works fine via Ethernet cable.
    Any ideas?

    Thanks, I checked out that advice doc (106798), but could not connect to the address (http://17.149.160.49) which is given to test if it's a DNS issue. My ISP says I shouldn't need DNS settings.
    The service is PPPoE, and I went into Airport Admin Utility to check if the Airport was configured for this. Under Configure/Internet, I found it was set to 'Ethernet', so changed it to PPPoE. Then when I restarted I got connection status in the bar (and good Airport signal), but status flipped between 'looking for PPPoE host' and 'negotiating PPPoE host', sometimes sticking on one or the other each time I tried rebooting all gear.
    Any other ideas?

  • Can not connect to printer and internet at the same time

    I use my airport to connect to the internet via the ethernet port. Internet was working fine until I connected my printer to airport via its USB port. Now the printer works fine but I can't connect to the internet using the same connection.
    I can still connect to the same server using its wireless service, but I have to keep hitting the drop down list in the menu bar to select that connection. Can't I just keep connected to the same connection without having to switch back and forth? I thought these mac products were supposed to be all user friendly... I don't have time for this.

    The only way to print and use the internet (or university network) at the same time is to do one of the following:
    (1) Connect the printer via USB to your computer.
    (2) Connect the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) via Ethernet to the university's network and then configure the AEBS to act as a bridge (not sharing a single IP address).
    The AEBS can NOT wirelessly join the network.

  • New to Mac - Need help - Want to share Printer and Internet with PC

    Looking for help in setting up to share my Windows Compaq PC printer and files and internet with my MAC Mini. They sit right next to each other, my PC does not have wireless ability. What equipment and what steps do I need to take to make this happen? I am looking for the cheapest way possible.
    Thanks

    To share the internet you are going to need the means the connect both the Mac and PC to your internet connection. A router would be the simplest - connect your broadband modem to the router and the computers to the router. Routers are quite inexpensive these days and it is also needed to share a printer with both computers.
    This leads us to the printer. Before you think about sharing the printer with the Mac you'll first need to determine the printer has drivers for OS X. If not, there's no easy way to seamlessly print from the Mac to your printer. Note I say seamless. Since all Mac applications can print a PDF file you can print the PDF, transfer the file to your PC, and then print the PDF in Windows.

  • No printing from XP via AirPort Express

    We're using AirPort Extreme. A Windows XP machine is connected via Ethernet cable to the AirPort, and a Mac iBook is connected wirelessly. Both machines can access the internet without any problems.
    Also connected to the AirPort (via USB cable) is a Canon PIXMA iP4200 printer. Printing from the iBook works fine, but we are unable to get the XP machine to print.
    I've downloaded and installed the most current driver from Canon's website. (The printer works fine when plugged directly into the XP machine -- it's only through the AirPort that it won't work.)
    I followed the instructions on p. 54 of the "AirPorts Networks for Windows" documentation -- creating a port with an IP of 10.0.1.1 when adding the printer. I've tried disabling the XP firewall, but that had no effect.
    The printer showed in the XP "Printers and Faxes" window. It said "Ready" (not "Offline"). When we sent something to print, the job appeared in the queue. But then it would eventually time out with a message that the printer is either busy or there's some other error.
    To complicate matters, I deleted that printer from XP's "Printers and Faxes" in one of my repeated attempts to start over. Now when I go through the process, it tells me that port 10.0.1.1 is already in use, so I can't even get it to show.
    This is XP Home Edition, Service Pack 2.
    We tried calling Canon support, but they don't support networked printers.

    Also, I'm unable to repeat them now because it fails
    at the step, "...if the IP address of the AEBS or
    Airport Express is 10.0.1.1, put "10.0.1.1" and let
    it generate "IP_10.0.1.1" as the port name."
    This no longer works because XP says that that port
    is already in use.
    At the "Up will come the "Select the Printer Port" screen" rather than create a new port, use the drop down box to select the IP_10.0.1.1 port which already exists.

  • Unable to access internet via Airport Express

    Hi. I'm have trouble connecting to the internet using my Airport Express.
    When I plug in my DSL modem to the unit, I get the solid green light. My Macbook is able to connect to the airport, and to other computers on the same Airport.
    However, none of my computers are able to reach any internet sites. They were even unable to directly ping a remote IP address. However, if I plug my DSL modem directly into my Macbook, bypassing the Airport, it correctly connects to the internet, which leads me to believe the problem is with my Airport.
    A couple of oddities which I don't know if they are normal. First, in my MacBook's network prefs, the DNS box is blank. However, I'm connected via DHCP, so I didn't know if that'd matter. In the airport configuration app, under internet, it's also using DHCP, but the box is empty, with the same address as the router (192.168.1.1) greyed out next to it. The IP address is 192.168.1.5. This number is rather different than when I connect to my DSL router directly on my MacBook.
    I'm running what I believe to be the newest firmware (6.3).
    Any ideas anyone?
    Thanks,
    Nathaniel

    Hi,
    I solved the problem using the airport express firmware 6.1.1. and erasing all favourites networks in network pref panel to create new ones. You may also check the keychains utility (applications -> utilities). If there is several times the same pass, just keep the latest and erase the others.
    Hope my english is understandable...

  • Bonjour Printing and Internet Sharing battle.

    I use my MBP as a wireless router in my dorm room, so I have internet sharing on from ethernet to wifi. I also have a printer connected to it. My roommate uses my printer, so to make things a lot easier, I turned on printer sharing, and he downloaded Bonjour for his (pitiful) Windows computer. However, when he uses bonjour to print over the wireless network, internet sharing blows up and my iPod can connect to the wireless network, but is unable to connect to the internets. This is resolved by turning printer sharing off and restarting internet sharing. However that is a (comparatively) giant hassle and I would prefer my mac to work as perfectly as it should.
    Help?

    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions,  then move these files to the Desktop.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

    Then reboot once more.

  • Can't print Canon Pixma via Airport Express

    I am at my wits end. I can't print to my Canon Pixma 830 when the usb is connected to the aiport express (I can print when plugged directly into my ibook). I upgraded my base station to v6.3 from 6.2, and did all basic troubleshooting (restart, unplug/replug, etc.) and still no luck.
    Any suggestions?

    The Canon UFR2 and CAPT printer drivers for OS X do not work when the printer is connected to the USB port of an Airport device, or even a 3rd party print server. This has always been a limitation of the Canon UFR2 and CAPT for OS X.
    FWIF - The Canon inkjets work fine with the printer connected to the Airport USB port.

  • WRT160N and internet via a Proxy server

    Hi all,
    i connect to the internet using a proxy server. i can connect to the internet if i specify the proxy server address directly in my internet explorer and set my router to auto config for intenet. BUT if i toggle on the proxy server in my IE, i cant access the router's web based setup until i toggle it off. once i toggle off the proxy server, i cant access the internet.
    does anybody know what i'm missing.

    Check the network connection window ..... if any Dial Up adapter ...or PPPOE adapter or Proxy Server adapter is installed or not ...
    If so disable it or click cancel as default .....
    Then check if you are able to go online with LAN connection or not ....

  • Why can't I access the internet via ethernet port on my Airport Express?

    I have an Airport Extreme base station and two Airport Express units. The Extreme is connected by ethernet to a BT Home Hub (BT is the internet provider). The network works for all the other computers that have Airport cards BUT I want to connect a Mac Mini (no airport card) by ethernet to the Express, but no matter how I try re-jigging the settings on the base station and Express, it won't connect. Mac Mini WILL connect when wired directly to the Extreme base station, so it's not the port. Also, I have been able to stream iTunes to the Express units so they are functioning in that respect. What am I doing wrong or not doing? Do I need to set up a WDS? Is there a bridging mode? Do I need to have a relay? Surely internet via the Express is possible!

    The Airport Express units are the A1088 variety. The Extreme is A1354. Originally I set up the base station to create a network and got the Expresses to 'join network'. However, since that didn't work, I dug a little deeper and investigated WDS and bridge settings. The base station wireless mode is 'Create a network'. I selected 'allow this network to be extended' and made sure that the channel used was the same as the Express units. I have set up one Express to be a WDS remote and one to be a WDS relay on the same channel of the same network with the same password. I have specified the MAC address of the base as the main and the other MAC addresses in the appropriate places for the Expresses. I have tried selecting the 802.11b/g radio mode manually as well as in automatic. Access control is off for all units. I have tried the base station connection setting on 'Off (bridge mode)' and 'share a public IP address'. Am I just missing something?

  • HP 1200 Laserjet is no longer working via Airport express &MacBook pro

    Connection has been working just fine for 2 years and suddenly It gives me just one line of little symbols when trying to print. If I connect printer directly via USB works fine. I have made no changes that can explain what happened.What I have done already: restart everything, computer, the printer and also the Airport express connection. I downloaded the latest driver version as well.
    When checking via printer utilities the connection it says there are problems connecting the printer and the server.
    Any lights on this?
    Thanks!

    I just got my airport express tonight and had the same problem with my HP 1200 all in one deskjet. After a couple hours of searching and installing the gimpdrivers that did not work I ran across another post that linked me to: http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/MacOSX/hpijs
    It worked!
    Install all 3 dmg files
    gplgs-8.64so-ub.dmg
    Foomatic-RIP 4.0.1
    hpijs-3.9.2-ub.dmg
    Install in that order. They won't install unless you do. One of them does say it is for 10.3 or newer but that did not effect me on 10.4.
    Once installed, Add a new printer (delete old ones) then select HP from drop down and scroll and select : HP PSC foomatic/hpijs.
    After that you should be go to go.
