Trouble with USB Printer/Scanner on Vista x64 and Airport Extreme

I recently just purchased the Airport Extreme and set up my wireless network. I had a little trouble setting up my printer on my PC workstation, but finally realized I needed to download Bonjour for Windows 64-bit to get it working since I was using Vistax64. So now its working. However, I have an HP PSC 2510 Photosmart all-in-one printer/fax which also containes a scanner. Is there any way to get the scanner working on this for either my MacBook Pro or preferably on my Win Vista PC? I see no option to allow for this. If anyone can help or point me in the right direction, I would very much appreciate it. Thank you.

Hello Ambien. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Is there any way to get the scanner working on this for either my MacBook Pro or preferably on my Win Vista PC? I see no option to allow for this. If anyone can help or point me in the right direction, I would very much appreciate it.
Unfortunately, none of the "advanced" functions (scanning, copying, faxing, etc.) of multi-function printers are supported by the USB port of any of the AirPort base stations.

Sharing a usb 4G connection through a macbook and airport extreme

Currently the only 4G LTE modems for sale are of the usb type. I would like to share a 4g connection with a group of people. Is there any way I could use a 4G LTE usb modem from verizon to share internet with a bunch of people through wifi, possibly using an airport extreme?

Hi,
The easiest way is probably to look for a dedicated mobile broadband router. An alternative solution involving an AirPort Extreme base station would require a special adapter for the connection of a USB modem to the WAN Ethernet port.
See, for example:

Whether a mobile broadband router or a special adapter, always make sure that there is support for the exact USB modem type and the network in question.

Airport Extreme - problem with usb printer and usb disk

I have Airport extreme with firmware 7.1. I try connect usb disk and usb printer with usb-hub to airport. I can't get disk or printer working. Also try connect only disk or printer without usb-hub to airport getting same problem. How I get disk and printer working with wireless network (windows pc computers)?
1)
My printer is HP PSC 1210 all-in-one ( http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?product=90764&lc=fi&cc=fi&dlc=fi&lang =fi&cc=fi&y=0&x=0 )
- printer seems working fine after installing bonjour printer installing wizard.
- I get error (in windows) when I try print document from word. Error only says "error printing" in status value.
- In airport utility all seems ok. Airport see usb printer "Hewlett-Packard psc 1200 series"
- printer protocol is RAW and driver manufacture HP (also try with microsoft driver)
2)
USB disk is Targa Databox II 250
- Airport utility says "Disk needs repair. Errors were found with a disk connected to your airport base station. please connect the usb disk to your mac or pc and use disk utility or another disk application to repair the disk"
- I have connected Targa usb disk to windows pc and run scandisk and defreg. No errors found in windows. Result..no help for airport

I have a similar problem to your second issue. Tried connecting a Netdisk to the USB port of the Airport Extreme and it also said there was a problem with the disk. Have performed a low level format on the disk and Airport Extreme still complained the disk had a problem.
After unplugging the disk, my route decided to stop allowing wireless connections even after rebooting. Ended up having to hard reset the Airport Extreme and reconfigure it with my old settings to work again.
FWIW, the first Airport Extreme I purchased today only worked on 802.11a and steadfastly refused to work on b/g so had to get a replacement. I suspect Apple's quality control is not quite as good as it used to be.

Printing in another room with USB printer

Printing in another room with USB printer.
I have modem/wireless router from my ISP (my current network), a time capsule (version 2?) not currently online, an AirPort Express, a USB photo printer (Epson 2200), a recent Retina Macbook Pro.
I would like to print photos in a room across the house. Can I accomplish it with these tools? If so, how?
I'd like to keep the Express unit nearest the modem/router.
Should I set up a second network?
If Bob Timmons is out there, I've added the express to the previous formula.
Thank you.

If the current AirPort Express is configured to "join" the current network there, and you can move it to the desired printer location and try things out as a test......that would give you an idea about whether buying another Express would allow printing in the remote location.
There are some real "Ifs" here. One is whether the Express can pick up a strong enough wireless signal in the remote location. The other is whether the Epson and Express are compatible with each other, since Apple does not support all USB printers.

Have installed Mountian Lion, now having trouble with my printer.. Printer is Canon LBP6000.. Does anyone have a driver I can use??

It looks like this page from Canon's website will take care of you (provide drivers, etc.):

Vista x64 and Microphone not work

Hi folks,I've installed and am running Vista x64 and the sound is working fine but the mic is misbehaving. In the 'Speakers Properties', 'Levels' tab, I have the microphone set to 85 and unmuted. This way the microphone works but I get bad feedback and I have to listen to myself droning on through the speakers. I've tried muting & unmuting this but nobody can hear me speaking in Teamspeak. Am I condemned to having to blast my neighbours with feedback or is there a way I can talk through the mic and have my voice come through on Teamspeak instead of coming through my speakers Many thanksPete P.S. System is a 4gig, dual core, Audigy 4Drivers are the latest Vista ones from the creative site.Oh and it all worked fine on XP by the way

Go to recording properties, select levels and increase mic to 85. Also add 20db boost.go to speaker properties, select levels tab and mute the microphone.....Fixed..

Vista x64 and fimware upd

I have Vista x64 and a Zen V
When I try to update the firmware of the player I get the massage that there is no Zen connected when it is and it is visible in explorer (as My Zen).
The driver seems OK
Anyone with an idea how to solve this problem?

Sometimes there seems to be problems with upgrading firmware on 64bit Operation systems, I had the same problem with both my Logitech G5 and Razer Deathadder mouses. So my tip is you try upgrading it on Vista 32bit or Windows XP 32bit.

PC Used to work with XP and airport Extreme Basestation but not with Vista

Please help, my PC Used to work with XP and airport Extreme Basestation but not now with Vista. I have a MacBook Pro connected and also a Mac Pro connected to the network on it and they still work, i have put the latest software on the PC and the firmware is up to date. The only thing i can see on the network on the PC is the basestation Hard Disk (shared also to the Macs) but i cannot connect with the password, i have tried everything in my knowledge, including formatting the machine and reinsatlling OS and changing security setting to no avail. Any ideas anyone?

Canon pixma pro 9500 having problems with my print out. colors are glazed and missing colors

canon pixma pro 9500 having problems with my print out. colors are glazed and missing colors
i have prfiled the mac and printer wiht colormunki and uplodated the profile sucessfully
i set the printer to correct icc profile
print out comes out same with glazed colors and missing tones/colors
however when i use the same printer on windows and with light room, following same icc profile, colormunki calibrated profile, the print our are excellent.
i have also tried using printer manage profile using the Mac and Aperture and get same poor prints
can you please assist and thanks

I've a Pro9000 and also use Colormunki successfully.
When I use Colormunki, I calibrate both of my monitors and the printer/paper combination. Colormunki saves the generated profiles to the correct places -- I don't load or change any profiles after that as that would mess-up what the Colormunki had just done for me, and this would likely mess-up the prints.
Though I double-check the settings in the print dialogue, the choice for the printer handling things is already grayed-out. Colorsync handles it all just fine.

Right-click with 2 fingers on Windows Vista taskbar and nothing appears

I just updated my Bootcamp to 2.1, I thought it would solve my problem
"Right-click with 2 fingers on Windows Vista taskbar and nothing appears" but I still have this problem, I cannot right-click on my windows vista at all.
though, right-click on the notification area works.
right-click = pressing the trackpad with 2 fingers.

Now I have figured out I have to use 3 fingers instead of 2 fingers.
but in the BootCamp Control Panel there is an option that says
* Use 2 fingers for right-click

I'm having trouble with my computer, I boot it up and within a few minutes it freezes and I have to restart it, I tried updating it to the latest mavericks but it won't finish the installation it's stuck at the end, what can I do to fix this?

As stated I'm having trouble with my computer, I boot it up and within a few minutes it freezes and I have to restart it, I tried updating it to the latest mavericks but it won't finish the installation it's stuck at the end, what can I do to fix this? I need it for homework tonight.

Crowntheme,
you can try this: boot your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the Mac OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Does it still freeze after a few minutes?

Wie kann ich einen USB Scanner (Canon Lide80) an der AirPort Extreme netzwerkfähig machen und so ins Netzwerk einbinden, dass mehrere PCs Zugriff auf alle Funktionen haben?

Hallo zusammen,
Ich hoffe ihr könnt mir helfen.
Wie kann ich einen USB Scanner (Canon Lide80) an der AirPort Extreme netzwerkfähig machen und so ins Netzwerk einbinden, dass mehrere PCs Zugriff auf alle Funktionen haben?

Sorry, aber der USB-Anschluss an der AirPort Basisstation unterstützt nur grundlegende Druckfunktionen. Es unterstützt nicht das Kopieren, Faxen oder Scannen.

I am having problems printing from my iPad via my AirPort Extreme network.

I am having no success printing from my iPad via my AirPort Extreme based local network. I can use this to print wirelessly from my iMac OS X 10.7.5 and MacBook Pro OS X 10.6.8. I have 2 printer options: HP Laserjet (B&W) P1005 hard-wired to the iMac and HP Photosmart 7760 hard-wired to the AirPort Extreme. I believe I have checked all the correct boxes to enable the network and the iPad to connect, including ensuring that it is using the same network but when I try to select a printer I get the message that no printer can be found. Will it not work with an AirPort Extreme based network or only if this is connecting to wirelessly enabled printers which I do not have.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi,
Apple's AirPrint only support specific models while using wired or wireless network connection.
Plugging a printer into a USB port of Apple base is not supported for AirPrint:
AirPrint printers connected to the USB port of the Apple AirPort Base Station or Time Capsules are not supported with AirPrint.
As well you must use AirPrint enabled printers for a such, none of your printers are AirPrint enabled:

There are 3rd party solutions which allow sharing a printer connected to your Mac as AirPrint, Printopia as example provide a such:

How to connect my iPad, Brother printer, and AirPort Extreme?

How to connect my iPad, Brother printer, and AirPort Extreme?

I don't believe any of the Brother printers are AirPrint-enabled. Is your Brother printer network-ready? That is, does is support either/both a wired or wireless connection or just uses USB to connect?

Extending a network with Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme (via Belkin powerline)

Hello -
I've seen many topics about extending wireless networks here, but none seems to resolve the issue I'm having. I currently have a setup where a DSL cable modem is connected to a Time Capsule and I need to extend this network to another room using an AirPort Extreme.
I live in a very old apartment in Brazil and the walls seem to block the signal from one room to another, hence the need to extend it. Since wireless signal is very weak between rooms, I bought a Belkin powerline AV500 so I could connect both Time Capsule and AirPort using the electrical power at home (just installing a regular Ethernet cable between rooms is not an option).
I started with the basics: configure the Time Capsule + DSL as a standalone network, and it works perfectly within it's range. Then I connected the Belking powerline, plugged a MacBook via Ethernet on the other end and still got very good results (actually better speed than expected). Used it for a while with streaming and other network intensive tasks to make sure it could sustain the connection.
Finally, pluggned the AirPort Extreme on the Belking powerline and this is where the problems started. AirPort Utility 6.3.1 only gives me the option of extending a network wirelessly - it doesn't seem to give me the option of extending it via Etherenet (roaming), which is not good in my case. Luckly I had a copy of AirPort Utility 5.6 which seems to do the job (or I thought so), but it's still not working well.
Although I managed to configure both with the same name, it doesn't seem reliable and some devices (the iPhone 5, for example) are unable to connect and end up with a self-asigned IP address. I'm almost sure I'm doing something wrong on the setup, as I've seen a similar setup working before, so if anyone out there has any clue of what can be done, it will be much appreciated.
Attached the screenshots of both Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme configurations.
Thanks a lot,
-TM
AirPort Exteme:
Time Capsule:

Hello JuliaApple. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
You have several ways to configure both base stations for what you are trying to do.
The simplest would be to configure the Time Capsule (TC) to "join" (AirPort Utility > Manual Setup > Wireless tab > Wireless Mode = Join a wireless network) your existing 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn). In this type of configuration the TC would perform as any other wireless client and not perform as a router. It will; however, still allow for both backups and sharing USB devices attached to it.
