  • Trying to connect 2nd printer through Ethernet Port of AEX b/g

    Hello all, Hello (maybe) Duane,
    I do have a 2nd Airport Express b/g on our home network, and have a normal laser printer running as a wireless bonjour printer through that 2nd AEX, which is set up as a remote base station. I do have the Ethernet port free on that AEX, and want to connect a Brother 4040cn network ready color laser printer through the Ethernet port of this base station and use it as a bonjour printer? wirelessly... The AEX is set up as a remote base station to the main base station using WDS... I read a lot that the ethernet port only works when this station is in WDS mode - it is, but I still can't get it to work...
    I talked to a guy at the Apple Store and he told me it should work, and that I somehow have to configure the Ethernet port of the AEX as a bridge so that could work.... ? It is not a supported solution (as expected...) so I tried to find that, but I am not able to work it out.
    I can see the printer using the brother software, it shows me the status of the printer correctly, but I cannot get any printouts. The printing windows shows the printer, even lets me pick it as a bonjour printer, sends it off to the printer, but nothing arrives at the printer... I can use the web based printer management utility, which directly connects to the using the IP address, and can send stuff that is printed out, but i cannot get it working.
    Hope that makes sense - anyone out there able to help?

    Hello,
    If you wanted to setup a wireless network, you could look at some Wireless Ethernet USB adapters (will work just like the AirPort):
    http://www.afterthemac.com/
    Understand that the "AirPort" is just Apple's fancy name for Standard WiFi Networking. It's not anything special. Just Apple's implementation.
    So, any WiFi Ethernet Adapter is going to be compatible with Apple's Airport network.
    If you want to use the standard USB to Ethernet adapters, then you could look to see if you can find a suitable driver that will either enable your adapter (the one you just purchased) to work, or perhaps find an adapter that has a 3rd-party driver and then purchase that one. The following website lists Mac OS drivers that will enable "Windows-Only" adapters to work:
    http://www.sustworks.com/site/newsusbethernet.html
    The problem there, is that most USB to Ethernet (not wireless) adapters come only with Windows drivers. So, this website provides information and support to make those devices with with Mac OS X.
    Otherwise, I have not found a pre-packaged USB to Wired Ethernet device that comes with Mac drivers.
    But, the first website lists lots of USB to Wireless Ethernet adapters that come with Mac Drivers.
    I hope this helps.

  • By-passing Airport to print through Ethernet

    I loaded Snow Leopard yesterday and could not find my HP Color LaserJet 5500dn, which is connected via Ethernet. Then I discovered it wouldn't recognized or communicate with it while I had Airport on. After turning Airport off, low and behold it recognized it.
    How can I by-pass the Airport connection and go straight to Ethernet when using this printer, without having to disable Airport when I need to use it? And by the way, I use Retrospect to back up a system of Macs through my server, and for that to read each computer, I have to make sure Airport is disabled then, too. Any suggestions?

    If your PS2 has network ability, you should get a standard straight-through ethernet cable. Then connect that cable to your router->PS2.
    Follow the manual to configure PS2. You're on.
    If your router is too far away, then look up "Internet Connection Sharing" and you will find hundreds of posts with people who are trying to "...+have my internet go to my {other computer} through my macbook ethernet port+..."
    Your router should have a manual, on CD, or online.
    Your PS2 should have manual for network (CD or paper, or online)

  • Faulty printing through ethernet (PhotoSmart C6280)

    Hello, this is my first post. Nice to meet you and happy new year!
    My printer is HP PhotoSmart C6280 and I connect it through ethernet to a gigabit switch.
    The OS of my main PC is Windows 7 32bit and I use the latest HP Photosmart Full Feature Software and Drivers (v13.1.0).
    In my LAN, I have manually assigned an IP address for my printer.
    I'm facing faulty printing problems: I get 'breaks' in the lines of the printed page. I mean that some portions of the text are printed and other aren't.  Also, brightness/contrast of the characters is not the same throughout the page. I tried many times to clean and align the heads but without improvement. 
    After many tests I have noticed that this problem is more intense when there is network traffic, for example when I download files from the internet (through torrents or rapidshare).
    I have another PC in my LAN which I use as a Home Server. This PC runs Windows Home Server and since there are not drivers for this OS, I use Microsoft's drivers for HP 990c, as suggested. The strange thing is that I have no problems when I send the print  from this PC (WHS with 990c internal drivers).
    Can you help?
    Thank you...

    Please help!
    I suspect that it's a driver issue, since I can print fine through my second PC (Windows Home Server) with the windows internal 990c drivers, regardless of the network traffic.
    Are there alternative Windows 7 drivers for my c6280 that I can use?
    Better description of the problem: In my main PC (Windows 7) the printing shows horizontal gaps in the text lines and the brightness of the characters is uneven.

  • Can Connect to Printer through ethernet network cable, but not through Time Capsule connected to ethernet

    I am a lone Mac user in a very large, unsympathetic institution.  If I plug my MacBook Air into the ethernet cable in my office directly, I can print through the office printer.  If I plug the ethernet cable into a Time Capsule and connect my Air to the capsule wirelessly I cannot print to the office printer.  I can access the internet, so I know it isn't a problem with any of the hardware or the wireless connection.
    Is it possible that the network, because of Time Capsule, shuffles me into a different subnet than the printer?  Why would it do this?  How would it know?  Is there any kind of fix possible?  (I use the Thunderbolt port to connect my Air to a monitor, so I can't use it to connect to an ethernet cable).
    Thanks.

    Thank-you very much for this.  How do I tell if it is in routher and bridge?  How do I change it?
    Tell me the IP address when you plug into the main network and can print..
    Tell me the IP address when you connect wirelessly via the TC.
    If they are the same IP range.. then you are on a bridged TC.. if they are different. Then you are on router mode TC and should bridge it.

  • Attach printer using ethernet on airport extreme

    How do I connect a printer via ethernet to airport extreme?

    Airport Express is not a TIme Capsule, only ONE Ethernet port on it
    Please read the initial post again. The question was....
    How do I connect a printer via ethernet to airport extreme?
    As you know, the AirPort Extreme has 3 Ethernet LAN ports, as does the Time Capsule.

  • Connecting to Printer Through Ethernet to USB converter

    I have a Dell 1700 USB-based printer connected to a Netgear P121 USB to ethernet adapterr. I am trying to use this as my printer.
    How do I configure my .imac duo Intel computer to connect to the printer? I ahve tried to add a printer as a generic printer as a native Mac OS driver does not exist for the Dell 1700. I used the IP Address for the adapter as the location.
    Thank you for the help.
      Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    It looks like your printer understands PCL 6, in which case you should be able to use a Gutenprint driver for it. Tiger comes with GimpPrint (now Gutenprint) drivers, so you should be able to use one. You can go to www.gutenprint.org and read the instructions. You will also need to follow the instructions for your Netgear adapter, to find the proper method to add this printer.

  • Error when trying to order prints through costco

    I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 running on Windows 7 64 bit.   When iclick on Create and Order prints from Costco - the window opens but says "We are sorry, it appears you have encountered an error."   Any idea will be appreciated.

    I have the same problem.  I know this was an issue several months ago, but they fixed the problem and it was working fine.  Now, I can't get connected to Costco again.  I really like this feature when it works, so hopefully they will get the issue resolved quickly!
    I take that back!!!  I just tried it again this morning and it is working fine!!  Thank you whoever fixed it!

  • Getting an Error:-9672  when trying to add printer through airport express

    Hi everyone, I have a canon colour laser printer (LBP5000) works fine when I pop the usb straight in to the mac, but when I try setting it up by plugging the usb into my airport express I get an Error:-9672 this happens when setting up the printer in print & fax system prefs.
    I have another printer set up on a different airport express, which works fine.... could this be a problem?
    Any help would be great
    Thanks
    Lee

    Hello Lee,
    When you select the LBP5000 in the Printer Borwser > Default Browser view, the Print Using menu should automatically set. If it isn't, and you are having to manually set the printer, then that will be a likely cause for the error (which usually occurs when the wrong driver is selected).
    Try turning off the Airport Express and the printer. After a few seconds turn the printer on first and after it finishes making it's warm up sounds, turn on the Express. Now try to add the printer via the Default Browser view.
    If that doesn't help, check your Airport Express firmware version. Some previous postees have found that their problems are resolved by updating their firmware on their Airport Extreme/Express.
    Regards,
    Paul

  • I am trying to re-print a portion of a photo enlarged through "poster" and can't get just the one "page" to print. Does anyone have a solution?

    I am trying to re-print a portion of a photo enlarged through "poster" in the print dialog box. The original photo printed just fine with the exception of one "page." This is what I'm trying to re-print. I have gone into the Multi- page box clicked on 4 x 4 and then selected the pages I did not want to print. This isn't working as it prints some pages and doesn't print others. All in all it is using a tremendous amount of ink for this project. Additionally I am printing on fabric which involves a deal of time in that preparation. The waste factor is turning into a huge cost. It should just be a simple thing to tell the print dialog box what I want it to do and have it do it. Help, does anyone have a solution?

    Hi Pat,
    Yes I marked the question as Assumed Answered. I needed to move on. I have never taken part in a forum and couldn’t wait any longer for any input so not wanting anyone to waste the time answering me, I marked the question as assumed answered. I guess this was the wrong thing to do and I apologize to the forum.
    I did go another route and loaded and enlarged the photo in Photoshop Elements, Then cropped the photo to the area I needed to reprint. I probably should have done this in the first place!
    Again, my apology to the forum for my lack of patience in waiting for a reply.

  • After setting up my brand new Airport Express 802.11n and accidentally using it to connect my iMac to the network...my iMac no longer connects through Ethernet?  Any ideas...I have tried everything without success!!

    I have been using Apple technology for about 10 years starting with 1st generation iPods and our house now includes a 5 year old iMac, all versions of iPods and touches, Apple TVs (both generations) and most recently an iPad 2.  I have always told family and friends that Apple technology just works.  Unfortunately that stopped today.  I bought a new Airport Express 802.11n to use for AirTunes around my new pool.  I set it up from my iMac and accidentally used it to connect my iMac to the network for a short time.  Now I can no longer connect the iMac to the network using a hard wired Ethernet cable.  I have tried resetting everything possible, from hubs to routers to the Mac itself and it just will not connect to the network through Ethernet any longer.  I am now a very frustrated Apple user especially when the support site says I can't use the fast path support because my product was manufactured 5 years ago...I just bought it at BestBuy yesterday.  All other computers and itechnology in the house are connecting via wifi and Ethernet without any issue except from my new iMac boat anchor.  Anybody who can help me???  Thanks

    John, thanks for the email so quickly.
    I too hope I haven't tried "everything" either but I am reasonably technical.  I had done what you suggested to do before but I did both again.
    Ethernet is yellow in the left side bar.  In the right pane it's status says Connected but then below it says "Ethernet has a self-assigned IP address and will not be able to connect to the Internet."
    I have tried the assist me menu and Network Status has Ethernet Green, Network settings Yellow, ISP Green, and Internet and Server Red and Failed for both.  I have turned things off and on, checked cables, deleted all locations and tried restting them up but to no avail.  I even disconnected everything and connected the mac directly into the cable modem itself and the thing still will not connect.
    Thoughts???

  • Trying to find a way to add multiple google acounts to e printer through the cloud. c310a Photosmart

    My wife and I have 2 separate Google Chrome cr48 laptops. In order to print we have to print through google cloud which is why I purchased this c310a. After registering her account to the printer, I try to register mine and get an error saying already registered to another acount. I would hope this printer can handle more than one google cloud account, because it would increase the practicality for buisnesses.

    Hi timshep. If you have already 'shared' your printer in Google Cloud Print, and not getting the results you are looking for, maybe I misread your question.
    Let me clarify. Google Cloud Print is only set up one time. After that, once the printer is shared by that 'master' Google' account with all of the other 'Google Accounts' that you want to be able to cloud print from will simply be able to access it, without adding the printer the same way the Master account set it up.
    Now if I am way off base on what you are doing, here are some other questions that come to mind.
    Are you trying to have multiple Google "Cloud" accounts listed in the HP Eprint App under the 'Cloud' option?
    Or perhaps you specifically talking about Google CloudPrint App?
    8. How do I use the Google Cloud Print app for Android? (Talks about multiple accounts)

  • Action initiated: Upgrade Mac Book Pro to Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.-, via Wi-fi. After 2 hours said could not install it. I tried again through Ethernet (cable). No success. Should I buy itagain? How this thing with the Apple store works? Not so familiar.

    The OS X Mountain Lion I tried to download Wi-Fi on Mac Book Pro was not successfull. Should I buy it again? Should I check with Apple store for credit?
    I successfully instaled it in iMac, but have problem with laptp. I also think I should not have bought 2 upgardes, becase if I have 2 computers, one paid upgrade is good for both computers. Am I wrong? SOmeone can advise how to proceed? I want to try again through Ethernet - cable internet - instead of Wi-Fi. Thank you

    You should not have paid twice. If you logged into the App Store with the same AppleID as you used to purchase Mountain Lion the first time, you should not have been charged again.
    If you internet connection is not working well enough to download it, do you have access to another network that might be faster? Perhaps and Apple Store nearby?
