Unable to connect HP PSC 1513 printer to Airport Extreme

HI, Hopefully someone can help me. I have a HP PSC 1513 printer which previously worked through my Airport Express. I have since moved to an Airport Extreme and have tried to co locate the printer with the base station. Unfortunately nothing seems to work. I have tried everything and have all the latest software updates installed. Thank you in advance of your assistance.

By collocate do you mean connecting your printer to your extreme to print wirelessly?
What exactly is your problem?
Can't find printer?
Can't print to printer?
Is it the same as this problem?

Or possibly this one
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5455585#5455585
Have you done a thorough search of these discussions?
I have seen plenty of other people with HP problems, the solution may already be out there.
Thanks

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?

Unable to connect mac OS 10.4 with airport extreme 4th generation

I am setting up an old PowerBook G4 for my nephew. Running Mac OS 10.4.11. I am unable to get the PowerBook G4 to speak to my Airport Extreme 4th generation. Is this an incompatibility issue that cannot be fixed?

I guess it's time to go down to Starbucks and buy an overprised Latte
If the coffee place is running an "open" network that does not use wireless security, the G4 should connnect.
If the coffee place uses WEP 40 or WEP 128 encryption, then the G4 will likely connect as well.
My guess at this point would be that the AirPort Extreme is using WPA2 Security and the G4 operating system...or the wireless card in the G4.....will not support this level of security.
So, although the G4 might be able to handle OS X 10.5.7 or higher, the wireless card may still limit what you can do.
Things might be a whole lot easier....and a lot less expensive than a new wireless card.....if you try a USB wireless adapter on the G4.....assuming that the G4 supports a USB connnection.

Connecting backup HD and printer to Airport Extreme?

Can I connect both a printer and an external harddrive to the USB port on the back of Airport Extreme? I would like to use the Airport Extreme both as a bridge to a network backup and so that I can network a printer. Can I use the one USB drive? Is there another simple solution? Thanks.

Can I connect both a printer and an external harddrive to the USB port on the back of Airport Extreme?
Yes. Use an USB hub which has its own power supply.

Unable to connect to internet or print wirelessly on Boot Camp with Windows 7

I recently installed Boot Camp and Windows 7 on my Mac Book Pro with no problems.
A month later, I am unable to connect to internet or print wirelessly.
It states that I am connected to my router.
When I trouble shoot, it cannot find the problem.
My wireless connection and cable connection are fine on the MAC side.
Please help.

looks a like a Windows 7 problem. I assume that you can click on the current connection info on the task bar and see a connection to your wireless router? Have you updated your copy of Windows since it was working? I am wondering if it's an update that's applied in Windows which has done something.

Unable to connect hp photosmart c4480 printer to wireless network

I just purchased a new laptop HP dv7-6169nr but I'm unable to connect to my HP printer Photosmart C4480. I'm connected by home linksys. I tried to set up connection by using "sharing" properties but I guess I must be doing something wrong because I'm able to find the printer but when I try to print, the computer cannot find the printer. Can anyone help me?

Hey there!
Do you have a different pc available? Or if you have a friend who has a laptop will do as well. Because that will answer your question if its an issue with your pc. If it doesnt work with the other pc and you've tried a diff cable, its a big possibility its with the usb port on the printer.
Now, if you dont know anybody with a diff pc, you might wanna check your firewall settings. Its also one reason why your pc cant detect the printer.
You can also disable the startup programs just to make sure its not an issue with any 3rd party software. Try to follow the steps in this link in how to disable them ( and make sure you re-enable them once your done )

My iMac (OS 10.7.4) has suddenly stopped printing to my Epson CX4800 printer through Airport Extreme, although it will print if connected via USB. Meanwhile, my MacBook (OS 10.5.8) prints still prints wirelessly. Please help.

May iMac (OS 10.7.4) has suddenly stopped printing to my Epson CX4800 printer through Airport Extreme, though my MacBook (OS 10.5.8) continues to function just fine). The iMac will print if it is connected to the printer directly via USB. The iMac continues to connect to the Internet wirelessly. I've tried resetting the printer and ensuring the driver is up to date, but no joy.
Any suggestions?

New to Windows RC 7 - ?connect to printer thru Airport Extreme

Okay - been a mac person forever, but have to access Windows info occasionally.
I installed RC 7 on an internal drive (directly, not via BootCamp). I am trying to set up the shared printer (HPO LaserJet 1300)I have connected via USB to my wired Airport Extreme. I was wondering if someone could guide me through the Windows RC connection to printer with this configuration for dummies?
Thanks!

The first thing I would suggest is to download and install Bonjour for Windows. Although the current version of Bonjour is for Window XP or Vista, it should work with Windows 7. The link provides both a 32- & 64-bit version to handle just about any variation of Windows.
Then check out this iFelix article: Installing Bonjour for Windows on a Vista Business Edition PC. Again, its written for Vista, but you may be able to transpose the instructions to make fit for Windows 7.

Connecting printer to Airport extreme via Ethernet

I have just setup a wireless home network using Airport extreme. My desktop windows xp pc does not have a wireless connection and is connected to the internet by ethernet directly pluged in to the DSL modem.
My Canon printer is connected to the Airport's USB port.
Is there a way I can connect the desktop pc to the printer via the Airport's Ethernet connection?
I appreciate any help, herb

Welcome to the discussions forum Herb.
I have just setup a wireless home network using Airport extreme.
From what you described, you're not done yet.
As I understand it, you're using your MacBook Pro to print to the Canon wirelessly through the Airport Extreme, but your Windows computer can't do that since it has no wireless card. Furthermore, you can't use your MacBook Pro to get on the internet when your DSL modem is connected directly to your PC. Is that right?
The right way to do things is to connect the DSL modem to the *Airport Extreme*, not a computer. Since your PC isn't wireless, its Ethernet port ought to be connected to the Airport's LAN port, and not directly to the DSL modem.
To reconfigure your equipment the right way, do the following:
1. Power down your Windows computer.
2. Unplug the DSL modem.
3. Unplug the Airport Extreme.
4. Power down all your other equipment too, for good measure.
5. Unplug the Windows computer from the DSL modem, and connect it to a LAN port on the Airport Extreme.
6. Using another Ethernet cable, connect the Airport Extreme's WAN port to the DSL modem.
7. Plug in the DSL modem. Wait a few moments for it to complete its power up sequence. Some take longer than others.
8. Plug in the Airport Extreme. After a few moments, its LED should glow steady green, meaning it's communicating with the DSL modem.
If the light blinks amber and never turns green, that means you'll have to reconfigure the Airport using Airport Utility. Not a problem, but if that happens you ought to write back for more help.
9. Boot your computers and the printer. The order isn't important.
Now, check to make sure you can communicate with everything the way you have been used to doing:
1. Log in to your Windows computer and make sure you can load a web page.
2. Log in to your MacBook and make sure you can still print to the Canon.
3. Make sure you can load a web page with your MacBook Pro.
4. Finally, you ought to be able to print with your PC as you're accustomed to. If you can't, you will need to "add a printer" in Windows so it can find the Canon again.
Good luck.

How do I install an HP C4100 printer to airport extreme?

I can connect my C4100 via USB directly to my laptop, but I don't know how to install it to airport extreme. When I attempt to print using airport extreme, I get a connection failure. Can you provide instructions? (I am a new MAC user).
Thanks.

Hi there,
this morning I resolved the printing issue with my HP psc 1217 All in one.
I was almost ready to go into the next computer store to buy a airport compliant device when I found this link for more than 600 printer drivers:
http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/MacOSX/hpijs#Printers
My psc 1217 is not directly listed, but works well with the drivert for the 1210 device.
the photosmart C4100 is also listed so it should work as well.
What you have to do is:
go to the page: http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/MacOSX/hpijs#Printers
1. download the package: Foomatic-RIP (88k) and install
2. download the package: espgs-7.07.1.ppc.dmg (5.4MB) and install
3. download the package: hpijs-2.7.6.U.dmg and install
go to the printer manager and select the driver from the list you will see a bunch of newly installed printers.- Works well for me and allows me to keep my loved psc1217.
Cheers,
Torsten

Why can't I no longer connect to the Internet via my AirPort Extreme Base?

I suddenly can no longer connect to the Internet through my AirPort Extreme. Everything was fine until this morning. My Base Station is connected to a DSL modem and then my computer connects to the Internet wirelessly through the Base Station. The center light is on in the Base Station. The left light flickers telling me there is wireless activity. I can still access my printer through the Base Station. But the right light is no longer flickering. I have rebooted everything several times. Does anyone have insight into this problem. This is the second time this has happened. For over a month I could not access the Internet through the Base Station, and then suddenly and arbitrarily it started working again. This morning it just stopped again.

I've had the same problem - mine started after I upgraded to 10.4.8 on my MacBook a week or so ago.
I can see other networks around my home and when I travel, but can only connect via ethernet cable (and my ISP is comcast - I thought the upgrade was supposed to help make connecting with comcast better).
My G3 has no problem connecting, so I don't think it's exactly a problem with my modem, or base station, or even comcast. I think it has something to do with my base station and upgrading to 10.4.8. Btw, dropping back to 10.4.6 hasn't helped.

Is it possible to connect 2 usb devices to an Airport Extreme?

Is it possible to connect 2 usb devices to an Airport Extreme (either the newest, ac model or the previous model) using a usb hub?

Apple does not provide a compatibility list for USB connected devices, so no one can tell you whether things will work until you try it out yourself.
If both the Iomega drive and HP printer work when you connect them individually to the AirPort Extreme, then your chances using a powered hub are quite good....assuming that the USB hub is functioning correctly.
In other words, make sure that both devices are working when you try them individually connected to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme. If they don't work that way, they won't work with a powered hub either.

Printing from Airport Extreme for both Mac and PC

I have both a mac and a PC. Both are connected to the internet using the Airport Extreme. Here's my problem. Currently I can only print from the Mac but not the PC. I was told that I would be using the airport extreme I would be able to use one printer for both computers. The printer I am using is an HP Office Jet 6310, which is compatible with both a Mac and a PC. Can anyone help me?

I recently purchased a Canon Pixma MP610 and it is connected to an AE. My Macbook prints fine to it. My PC laptop doesn't. I used to have a Canon Pixma 1600 that printed fine for both computers (I used iFelix's 1004.html steps to install for the PC)
I have tried the Add Printer on the PC using the same 1004.html steps with no luck. I have also used the 1008.html steps to install using the Bonjour Wizard with no luck.
When I say no luck, I mean it sees the printer, it has the proper drivers, but when I print a test page, it can't connect.
I Add a Printer and test and it fails, I then delete the printer and install it a different way. The weird thing is hours later, the test page will be there sitting on my printer. But I don't know why it took so long or which printer install method worked.
I have now installed 4-5 different printers and hit Test Page on all of them. I named each printer something different so in case the Test page comes out, I'll know which printer works.
I'm almost there I feel, but just can't get it.
Any suggestions iFelix or anyone else?

I cannot print from windows xp to a usb printer using airport extreme v5

I just bought the new airport Extreme, loaded Bonjour on a lenovo t400 running win xp sp3.
I can print with the printer plugged in to the computer but cannot print using the bonjour setup. I can print from my Imac connected to the airport extreme (hard wired) and wirelessly from my macbook.
I have no issues connecting to the web through the Airport Extreme with the PC.
I have all the proper drivers installed.
the Printer in question is a lexmark P910 Series and the drivers loaded with bonjour.
Any thoughts on why I cannot print using the PC?
Thanks

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 thisiFelix 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: Printer troubleshooting for AirPort Base Stations and Time Capsule
Finally, check out this IBM support article to see if your printer 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.

Can't print with Airport Extreme

I am having trouble printing with Airport Extreme.
My printer is connected to the AE but every time I try to print I get a printer offline message.
I have tried in the past to print wirelessly but have given up.
I just bought a new MacBook Pro so I thought I would give it another go.
Thank you.

Not very much to go on here but I'll give it a stab.
Go to the Airport Utility program located in Applications/Utilities folder.
Run this and select "manual setup" for your AE displayed on the left.
Hit the Printers icon on the top. Your shared printer should be displayed here. If it's not, then ensure it's powered on, good usb connection etc.
After this shows a usb printer connected then go to System Preferences>Print & Fax. You'll see printers you have setup before on the left. A green icon usually means they are available. If print doesn't work to the desired printer the best thing to do is remove the previous definitions by highlighting the printer and hitting the "-" icon.
Now hit the "+" sign and define the shared printer. It should be listed in the resulting "add Printer" dialog. Highlight, change any naming info and click "add".
Printer should now be available. I'm assuming a supported printer that have the device drivers loaded on your system.
That's all I got.
