Time Capsule 7.5.2 + usb printer Epson R300 = BROKEN

Hi everyone,
I could really use your input.
I have a 1Tb Time Capsule and an Epson R300 printer.
The printer is connected to the Time Capsule through USB and before the 7.5.2 update they worked perfectly (that is: Time Capsule recognized the printer, I could print wireless, etc.).
After the update, Time Capsule says it has a USB hard drive connected for which it cannot supply enough voltage (and there is no hard drive connected, only the printer).
Also, the printer does not longer appear in the Airport Utility tab for PRINTERS.
I already downloaded the latest drivers from Epson with no luck.
Certainly the problem is with 7.5.2.
Has anyone else run into this?
Do you have any suggested work-around?
Thanks.

You always have the option of rolling back to the previous version of firmware on your device.
Open AirPort Utility - click Manual Setup
Click the AirPort Utility menu at the upper left of the screen next to the Apple icon. Hold down the option key on your Mac while you click the Check for Updates and list of firmware versions will appear. Select the previous version that you were using and re-install.

  • If I get an airport Extreme/time capsule and plug a USB printer into it does it become an airplay printer so I can print from my I devices

    I wanna get a new airport express or time capsule, I'm leanin towards the time capsule but in wanna know If I plug my USB printer into it if it becomes an AirPlay printer so I can print from my iPad

    Nope.  It's got to be a real AirPrint printer.
    However, you may be able to use an app and print the way you described.  Check out printopia.

  • I have question about hooking up an external hdd to a time capsule and still have my printer hooked up as well. Anyone got any tips for me, how to do it and what brand of harddrive that will work best for me 1 or 2 TB

    i have question about hooking up an external hdd to a time capsule and still have my printer hooked up as well. Anyone got any tips for me, how to do it and what brand of harddrive that will work best for me 1 or 2 TB

    You just need a powered hub.. if you already use one then fine.
    Plug in just about any external hard disk will work fine. Format has to be readable by the TC.. ie fat32.. or much better HFS+.. plug it into a Mac to prepare the drive.
    Pick whatever size suits.. nowadays 2TB are most economical.
    WD, Seagate have goobled up all the minor players.. so pick one.
    Whatever suits your budget and asthetics.
    NOTE.. The USB on the TC is fine for printers.. IMHO it is the wrong way to go with USB disks.. use the internal disk of the TC.. USB is less than half the native speed plugged into a Mac.. TC to USB is slow.. far slower than internal drive.. or using external drive as external.

  • Time Capsule and all in one printer HP Photosmart C5580

    How can I get the HP Photosmart C5580 working fine with time capsule?
    It prints but do not anything else, like scanning, etc...
    Thanks in advance,
    AZ

    Bob,
    I am having a similar problem as this person. I have a HP Photosmart 3210. I figured out that I could not use the scanner with the USB on the Time Capsule so I connected the printer via the ethernet port on the Time Capsule to make it a networking printer. This allowed me to see the printer and scanner, but I still can not get the scanner to work. I have all the software updates for Mac and HP. When I go to scan the software says "Trying to Open session with device" and after 30 seconds it will say "Failed to open session with device". I know the software works because if I connect the printer directly into my compute with USB everything is good. Also, if I go into the Embedded Web Server (while printer is connected to Time Capsule with Ethernet) of the printer I can perform a Preview and I will see the scan of the item in the scanner, but I still can not scan. Any ideas? I have to talked to both HP and Apple without any ideas.
    Thanks

    I am not 100% what isn't allowed.. but I am assuming you want to spread the backup across the two disks.. internal TC and 6TB external.. this is not possible.. It has to be one or the other. TC has no way to build a raid JBOD or anything else. Nor would you want to as that is the most likely to fail and kill your data.
    Let me add, backing up 6TB over USB on TC.. will be the most excruciating experience of your life.. cf child birth or passing kidney stones.. large ones.. being the male equivalent.

  • Time capsule does not recognise my printer

    Followed all the instructions and all appears to be working fine but cant get TC to recognise my epson r200 printer. Am I doing something wrong?
    Sheps

    I have the same problem. My Brother HL-1430 over USB connected to my Airport Express works perfectly. But via Time Capsule no way. I did all the deletion, re-install etc., but no success. I think the Time Capsule has still some problems to solve. What I did now:
    I have connected my Airport Express via Ethernet (bridge mode) to my Time Capsule. I have my stereo and USB printer connected to Airport Express. My TC connects to the Internet. In addition I have an additional USB HD connected to TC for TC archiving and file sharing.
    My MacBook connects to TC only. Now all works fine. I can use everything together at the same time (Internet, printing, music streaming, TimeMachine) without even having dropping bits when streaming sound in parallel.
    Here I must say, that I would have long expected Apple to finally include Air Tunes into its base stations and TC. It's a bit of a joke that you still need to buy an additional Airport Express just to stream your music. Here marketing and product positioning at Apple goes too far and harms the concept of an easy and integrated solution.

  • Can I connect to Time Capsule Hard Drive via USB cable?

    I'm having trouble connecting to a five year old Time Capsule Wirelessly.  Indeed, I just bought a brand new one.  But I need to connect to the old one's hard drive to recover lost files.  Can I connect to it via USB?

    No, USB is only for printer and usb external drive.. not a connection to the internal drive.
    Use ethernet.. if that doesn't work, open the TC and remove the hard and use a USB drive box.

  • Time Capsule no longer recognizing USB Disk

    We purchased a new all-in-1 printer and tried to hook it up USB to the TC. Scanning wasn't available, so we decided to hook the printer up to a local Mac. Now, the USB port doesn't recognize external USB drives like it used to for handy TC backups and archiving. We've reset the TC to factory settings with no luck. Anyone else have this problem? Thanks in advance!

    Is this a drive that was used by the Time Capsule before, or another similar drive? A drive will not be recognized at the TC's USB port if it's not in a Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or FAT32 format.
    You can check the drive by connecting it directly to your computer and opening Hard Drive > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility.
    Click the name of the disk in the panel on the left
    Click Verify Disk
    If errors are found, click Repair Disk
    If you need to erase the disk and reformat it, click the Erase tab and select the Mac formatting above.

  • Time Capsule to an old HP Printer

    I bought a Time Capsule so I could connect my old printer and print wirelessly. It is a HP Desk Jet 1055. It uses USB, which I connected into the USB port of the Time Capsule but I can't get them to connect. Any ideas?

    OK, thanks for the clarifying that
    Connect the printer to the USB port on the Time Capsule, power on the printer and wait a few minutes
    On your Mac, open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
    Open Print & Scan
    Click the + (plus) button at the bottom of the printer list on the left
    Wait a few seconds for your printer model or family to appear
    (If you try this a few times and the printer does not appear, then your model is not supported)
    Click on the printer model to highlight it
    Click Add at the lower right of the window
    Try to print
    If you have previously connected the printer to your Mac, then it will appear as if you have the same printer installed twice on your network.
    Closer inspection will reveal that you have one printer located at the Mac and another printer located at the Time Capsule
    You must choose the correct printer location first, then click Print

  • Time Capsule compatibility with network (ethernet) printer

    Does TC support connecting a network printer (all in one) via an ethernet connection?
    The manual doesn't show anything on this just usb descriptions. I have Time Capsule mainly used as a router connected to my modem. 1 Imac, 2 wireless mac laptops, and 1 wireless pc using the network - no problems w/internet or file sharing etc. However, I don't see through airport utility that there is any spot to set up network printer just USB. I would like to use my Brother MFC-5840cn to network print and scan to folders. Please help solve this question if you can. Previously I did this with a linksys router. Thanks!

    I still have questions about how to connect the Brother printer through ethernet. When connected does the airport utility have some area where you can identify the printer as a network printer as opposed to USB?
    The AirPort Utility would only come into play if the printer was attached to the TC's USB port. Printers, attached by Ethernet, would have to "network-ready." Controlling these types of printers would be through the printer driver that you would access through the operating system interface.
    In my HP example, the HP printer driver does provide access to a number of features particular to this printer model. Most manufacturers include an installation CD that provide useful utilities ... albeit most are written for Windows. I would suggest checking out the Brother support site to see if they have Mac-specific drivers or utilities.

  • Time Capsule and HP LaserJet P2015d Printer

    I have recently set up a new Time Capsule as my main base station and it is working great as a Wireless router and Time Machine Backups. However, I have just plugged my HP LaserJet 2015d printer into the USB port and it is not being recognized. It doesn't show up anywhere, either in the printer settings box or the printers section of the Manual Setup in Airport Utility.
    Can anyone shed light on what I need to do to get the printer to be recognized or point me to a list of compatible printers? I have been through the various troublshooting documents I can find and so far no luck.
    Thanks,
    Drew

    Hello Drew Fulton. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Unfortunately, not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations. In addition, the AirPort's USB port does not support the "advanced" printer functions, like scanning, copying or faxing, of multi-function printers.
    To see if your printer is compatible, take a look at this iFelix Unofficial AirPort Printer Compatibility link.
    If your printer isn't listed, it doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, but simply that it has not been verified. iFelix also provides the following workaround for printers not on the list that would certainly be worth a try.
    Also you can try this Apple Tech Support article to see if it will help:
    o Printer troubleshooting for AirPort Base Stations and Time Capsule
    Finally, check out this IBM support article to see if the printer you are interested in is listed as having a Postscript or PCL3 interface. If it does, then it will most likely work with the AirPort's USB port. Printers that use the "HP LIDIL" interface must be connected to a computer directly and will not work.

  • Is the time capsule compatible with a wireless printer

    I am trying to use my HP wireless printer with the time capsule. It is not working. Is it compatible?

    Yes, it should be ok..
    BUT the rest of the WORLD speaks SMB.. as in fact does iOS.. and so you need to make things look nice to SMB.. in other words windows type networking.
    By default the TC seems to end up with names which are wrong..
    Use short names with no apostrophe.. or any other special character.. pure alphanumeric.. no spaces..
    Passwords also .. nothing more than 20 characters.. names do not need to be long, 8-12 pure alphanumeric is plenty.
    eg I name my TC.. TC
    Name 2.4ghz wireless, TC24ghz
    Name 5ghz wireless TC5ghz (I recommend this to keep them separate and prevent auto swapping)
    Lock the channel (This is optional but I find helps stability.. mainly for 2.4ghz.. there are three channels.. 1, 6, 11) Try each channel in turn.
    Plug the printer into the computer by usb and run through the setup.
    Put the wireless into infrastructure mode and put in the wireless name and security settings and passkey.
    Complete the printer setup wizard and then disconnect the usb.. it might well be a good idea to restart everything.. Make sure the printer is in a position where there is good wireless signal.
    Now what I found happens is the printer driver is confused by the fact you had it plugged in by usb. So see if the printer is accessible now.. if not delete the printer and start again.. it should pick it up now as a network printer.
    I don't know what model printer you have so to get all the specifics right read the instructions.. You know that old saying.. when all else fails.. and after you post on the forum.. actually read the instructions.

  • Time Capsule compatibility with Wireless USB Hub

    Is it possible to use a wireless USB hub with the Time Capsule? I am thinking of using a Belkin wireless USB hub, which would have the USB receiver/antenna for the hub connected to the TC, and my printer connected to the hub.
    Below is the link for the Belkin Wireless USB hub that I wanted to use:
    http://shop3.frys.com/product/5845573#detailed
    My reason for doing this is because I want to keep my wireless printing capabilities, but I want to move the TC downstairs and "bridge" it with my AT&T U-Verse wireless router/modem. At the moment I am not able to have my TC and router/modem in the same room.
    My thinking is that this will not work because the TC will not recognize that type of USB device (i.e. the USB receiver/antenna for the hub). But if this works this would solve a great deal of logistic problems.

    I still have questions about how to connect the Brother printer through ethernet. When connected does the airport utility have some area where you can identify the printer as a network printer as opposed to USB?

  • Time Capsule with two external USB harddrives (only 1 is recognized).

    I have a 1TB Time Capsule with two MacBooks, a Mini, an AppleTV, and 1 Vista PC, connected to it without any problems. I've also added a USB2 hub where I have plugged in a Canon printer, 1 500GB Seagate drive, and 1 1TB Lacie (BigDisk) drive. For some reason the 1TB Lacie drive does not appear as an available drive on the Time Capsule but the Seagate drive works fine.
    I've formatted the Lacie drive multiple ways (currently it is Mac Extended (Journaled) with a single partition) but this did not change anything. I can plug the Lacie directly into any of the MacBooks or Mini and it appears as an available drive. What gives? Does Time Capsule only support 1 external drive? Thanks for any assistance.

    Thanks for your post. I did as you suggested and plugged the problem drive directly into the TC and sure enough the drive appeared and was accessible. It appears that the problem follows the USB hub. I tried a second hub (but it was only USB1.1 capable) and it had the same problem. I will take this up with LaCie.
    Thanks again for the response.
