Two C4585 printers on the same wireless network?

I have one C4585 working well on our wireless network, but I want to add a second identical printer on the other floor.
Most of our laptops are running XP, one runs Vista. What do we need to do to add the second C4585 to our wireless network?
Thank you in advance for your advice, TonyC

OK, I think you will need to add the second printer from a PC that does not already have the software installed (uninstall it if that is what it takes). Get the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Driver" link at the top of this page, choose a Network installation.
Now, both printers are on the network and you can go use the "Add a Device" on each one to add the second printer.

How can you set up 2 p2011w printers on the same wireless network?

Ii tried renaming one, but that didn't work. We had one, it works great, my boss loved it and bought another. Now we're all printing in his office because the one he got for us doesn't work. Any ideas?

Do a factory reset on your TC.
Unplug your TC/AE. Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on.. all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec.
Release it when the status light flashes rapidly. If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have missed it and try again.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
Plug the LAN port of the BT router to the WAN port of the TC.
Start the airport utility in a computer and allow it to complete..
It should choose the right setup without intervention.. but you can then make sure of it.
So go to the edit tab by clicking on the TC in airport utility.
Then check the network tab shows off (bridge mode).
Go to the wireless tab and set a useful and simple and short wireless name.
You could even then click on the wireless options on that page and set a different name for 5ghz wireless.

How do I share files between computers (mac's) on the same wireless network?

How do I share files between computers (mac's) on the same wireless network?

Turn on File Sharing in System Preferences - Sharing, then you should be able to see them in the other Macs' Finder sidebars (under Shared). Click on them, click Connect As, and log in with the user credentials you're sharing from.

Is there a way to play on the same wireless network with 2 different xbox 360 accounts?

Is there a way to play on the same wireless network with 2 different xbox 360 accounts?

Not sure what your question has to do in respect to Apple networking, but if you're asking can you use your Xbox 360 on a wireless network (regardless of the router's manufacturer) to access different Xbox Live! accounts, then the answer is yes.

HT4437 I have followed all relevant steps, my iPhone5 and apple TV are connected to the same wireless network, but I still cannot use airplay. When I choose the airplay option on my phone, the only option I get is "iPhone"

Welcome to the Apple Community Willy.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.

Is the maximum number of users for Airport Extreme per device, i.e. 2 AEBS = 100 users, one AEBS extending the other on the same wireless network?

Is the maximum number of users for Airport Extreme per device, i.e. 2 AEBS = 100 users, one AEBS extending the other on the same wireless network?

50 users per device, assuming that the "main" router is setup to deliver an adequate number of network IP addresses for all devices.
2 AEBS = 100 users, but that is really more of a theoretical max.
If you really need 100 connections, it would be much better to use 3 AEBS to spread things out.

Necessary to have the same wireless network name for using WDS?

I have set up two Airports in WDS mode. I did this so my ps3 could get on the internet via ethernet (its an older model, and doesn't have wireless, so you have to use an ethernet bridge). I set up the WDS fine, and my Airport extreme base station (the square one) is the WDS main, while as my old Airport extreme (snow) is the remote, which I use to run a cable from to my ps3 to access the internet. This works fine when I have the network names for each base station the same.
I was under the impression that you could have two different named wireless networks for two base stations (i.e .they have different names), as long as you have the MAC addresses set up correctly for the WDS settings (i.e. main and remote). However, when I do that, I can no longer access the ethernet from the remote base station on my PS3. I can only access the ethernet via my PS3 if I have the wireless network for each base station literally named the same. Seems kind of strange if you have the MAC addresses set up correctly for the main and remote, as shouldn't they be talking to each other via that mode, and not the actual wireless network name?
I would like to have each base station with its own wirelss network name, so I can differentiate between them. I get some strange issues when my airport card scans, it frequently switches between base stations, and this slows down certain programs (i.e. VPN connections for mail etc).
I set this up pretty literally from the airport guide from the apple site.

No that is not correct. Since the 2 are working together to create a single wireless network, they must use the same network name.

Just got my MacBook Pro....having trouble opening up certain web pages...just keeps scrolling and scrolling, my 7 year old desk top that is on the same wireless network for internet opened up the same web page right away, so I think the Internet is OK

just got my MacBook Pro and I'm having trouble opening up certain websites, it just keeps scrolling and scrolling and never opens up the page....this is not the case with all websites, however my 7 year old desk top - which is connected to the same wireless Internet connection opened up the same page right away, so I don't think it's the Internet, any suggestions?

Use Software Update to update your os and anything else that needs to be updated. Repair permissions and restart your computer when done.
Not sure if your new Mac came with 10.7.2 pre-installed as you make no mention of your os system.

How to transfer data from one MBP to another on the same wireless network?

Hello All,
My wife & I both have MBP's & are connect to the internet wirelessly via a Comcast-supplied Arris modem & a Belken router I purchased.
Please don't laugh too hard but when I share data with my wife I, first, transfer it onto a flash drvie, then I walk to my wife's mbp & transfer the data from the flash drive to her mbp.
I have a feeling there is a better way. Since I guess we are on the same network can I do this wirelessly some how?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

Mac Mini can't see the same wireless networks as a Aluminum 24" Imac ....

I have a question for ya'll. Is there any reason why my new Mac mini 2.0g system can't see the wireless networks that my Imac can?
What I mean, is that I can see two Networks with my Imac:
1. Mine
2. Other networks around me.
On the Mini, using 10.4 or 10.5 My mini can only see my wireless network. Which is only 1 foot away from the mini (and Imac).
It has been suggested to me that my antenna is bad ... Are there ways to test this? Or is it just inherit for the mini?

The Mini has a much smaller antenna (the size of a larger postage stamp) -- and it is located in the back upper right corner, as you face the mini from the front.
The antenna is less capable than the larger antenna in the iMac, and it is more easily blocked. Make sure nothing is between it and your wifi router.

HT3819 I don't see my apple tv on my device list on my ITunes? I already reset the apple tv, connect it to my library, they are both connected already to the same wireless network and to the internet, home sharing is enable on my I Tunes and already tried

I Can't visualize my apple tv at my Itunes, I tried everything, both are on the same network, both are connected to the internet, my itunes is enable for home sharing and even tried to manually sync my Iyunes to my apple tv using the preferences option,,,,but still can't see the apple tv on my device list..

Hello maxpalmer9,
It sounds like you are not able to access your iTunes Library from your iPad or Apple TV using Home Sharing. I found an article with steps that I think would help with this issue.
I recommend reviewing the full article below, but I think steps 4-7 are specifically useful for what you described:

Trying to get 2 macs on to the same wireless network..?

Hello,
Never used to have a problem, but since upgrading 2 macs to Leopard and then Snow Leopard, they both seem to 'fight' to get on to our wireless network. One will work fine, but as soon as the 2nd book is opened, it seems to 'jam' the first, and neither can get on.
I'm running a regular BT Voyager 205 router, and am creating the network via a TimeCapsule.
Any thoughts? Are there some boxes I've failed to tick?
Thanks in advance
GUy

To check that your Time Capsule work:
1- is the status light green?
2- when you select the airport icon on the top right of your screen, can you see your network name?
3- are you able to connect to the internet trough the TC?
4- are you able to utilize the hard drive inside the TC? (does it appear in the Finder under Shared)
The wireless network you are connecting to; is this a GuestNetwork setup on the TC? GuestNetworks can be configures so that clients connecting to it are unable to communicate (this can be changed).
Check the System Preferences > Security > Firewall on both machines, if they are set to Block all incoming connections you will not be able to connect.
Check the System Preferences > Sharing, make sure the correct services are checked.
Open Network Utility > Port scan, see if the ports belonging to the services you are trying to use are open.

Can't connect two ArchMachines on the same wireless network via SSH

I have openssh installed on both machines, and I have the sshd daemon running on the host machine. However when I try to ssh into it from my laptop, I get "no route to host" error. The machine doesn't respond to ping either. Help?
Solved, see post below

1) check your router and make sure port 22 (or what ever you use) is forwarded to the server box.
2) iptables/firewall blocking on server box?

Can I print to my airprint printer if I am not on the same wireless network?

I am trying to print to my printer (HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M476nw) when I am on the road working. This printer is in my home office and I want to be able tp send items to it during the day so that they are printed and ready when I return at the end of the day. Is this possible. I have tried using the HP eprint function, which involves sending the email item I want to print to the printers email, but that never seems to work.

HP also offers a mobile print function. This may be what you are looking for. Please check out the following HP support article.
