USB printer, Airport Extreme, can set up printer but it won't print

I have an Epson 6600 connected to the AEX via USB. I can see the printer from my Macs and add it just fine but when I send something to it nothing happens. No activity light, no printing or communication error, nothing. Its like the file just goes to alphabet heaven. I've deleted and added the printer several times with no luck. If I connect directly to the printer everything prints fine. Anyone else having this issue? The AEX is using the latest firmware.

  • How can I get Time Machine to back up an external hard drive (iPhotos) that is attached to airport extreme base station. Note: Time machine is usb to macbook pro and external drive with iphotos is usb to airport extreme base station. Help please. Thanks!

    Once you have the drive connected to your Mac, click System Preferences (gear icon) on the dock
    Click Time Machine
    Click Options
    Be default, the hard drive will be Excluded from backups. Click the drive to highlight it, then click the "-" (minus) button at the bottom of the list to remove the drive from Excluded items.
    The drive will be backed up on the next Time Machine pass
    Everything above assumes that the hard drive has been formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as Time Machine will only backup drives in that format.

  • I am trying to extend my airport extreme signal to another airport extreme can this be done? I have tried several time using the automated set up but it keeps failing... What am I doing wrong?

    I am trying to extend my airport extreme signal to another airport extreme can this be done? I have tried several time using the automated set up but it keeps failing... I have selected every possible security/password encryption level... What am I doing wrong? If it os possible where can I find step by step instructions? Please & Thank you!

    The challenge with the older round AirPort Extremes are that they are "g" wireless devices.
    When you configure them for WDS, the speed on the wireless network is cut in half...and probably will not have the bandwidth required to stream video reliably from either AirPort Extreme since both are affected by the WDS setup.
    There is not an "automated" setup for WDS. You have to do this manually on both AirPort Extremes. Unfortunately, it is not an easy configuration and it's easy to make a mistake and hard to recover without starting all over again.
    Apple's instructions for WDS are here if you want to give it a try.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4262
    It is possible that it might work. Keep us posted on your progress
    Adding a single AirPort Express will unfortunately not help. You have to have "n" wireless devices at all router points.

  • Disk, to Backup the disk connected (via USB) to Airport Extreme

    Hi..
    My 1.5TB disk (WD My Book Essential) is connected to Airport Extreme.
    This disk contains photos, videos, etc. accessible/shared by some MacBook.
    Now I need to back-up that disk, so probably I need 1 more disk as the backup disk, and the backup process can be scheduled.
    Could someone please recommend me the solution. I am thinking of alternatives:
    Alt-1. To have a NAS disk connected to the Airport Extreme via its ethernet port -- Is this a wise solution?
    Alt-2. To split (using Hub) the USB from Airport Extreme into 2 hard disks (i.e. one disk is the existing 1.5TB disk for sharing files, while the other is one for the backup disk), and run the backup-process using Time Machine -- Is this a wise solution?
    Thanks in advance.

    Again, TM will not back up „airdisks“ (i.e. USB drives connected to the Extreme’s USB port or a NAS drive connected to one of the Extreme’s LAN ports). It will only back up drives that are connected directly to your Mac http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1733?viewlocale=en_US
    The only option I can think of is to have the original drive hanging off your MacBook and another drive hooked to the Extreme (although this is not officially supported http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2038 , however, some have reported success going this route)
    This would turn your lappy virtually into a desktop, though. I'm stuck with a similar set up until i get a mac mini to be my dedicated media server: 1 TB external FW drive holding my iTunes lib is connected to my MBP and backed up to my TC (along with my MBP's internal HD)

  • Will Time Machine work with an external hard drive connected (via usb) to Airport Extreme?

    Will Time Machine work with an external hard drive connected (via usb) to Airport Extreme?

    Sorry, but this article is about 4 years old, and was printed based on preliminary information at the time.
    The bottom line here is that Apple does not officially support Time Machine backups to a drive at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme.
    If it works for you, great.
    You might want to review the Apple Support documents below, which are far more recent than the article you reference:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/15139.html
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2038
    It is supported.....
    This is NOT correct. Please do not post false information on the forums.

  • Apple usb modem & Airport Extreme

    Does the external Apple usb modem work with the AirPort Extreme (802.11n)? Has anyone tried this?
    I use dial-up internet service and was wondering if the AirPort Extreme can use an Apple usb modem to connect to the internet. Thanks.

    The USB port on the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) is only for connecting USB hard/flash drives, printers, or hubs. The USB modem will not work.

  • HT4259 I have my airport extreme plugged in within range but the device does NOT appear in airport utility (on the left).  Please advise.

    To extend wifi range, I plugged in my airport extreme within exisitng range but the device does not appear in my airport utility (on the left of the screen).  The airport extreme is blinking amber.  Please advise. Thank you.

    The AirPort Extreme can extend the signal from another Apple router wirelessly, so as long as you have a 802.11n version of the products, the extend function should work.
    Please check to locate the Model No of both of your AirPort routers. It will be on the bottom of the device. Starts with an "A" followed by four numbers, as in "A x x x x".
    Post back with that info.
    We also need to know the version of AirPort Utility that you are using. If you are not sure, click the AirPort Utility menu in the upper left corner of the screen, then click About AirPort Utility and post back with tht info as well.

  • Just bought a new Airport Extreme BS. After setup my iphone4 won't find the network (not even with manual entries), but my iMac (2009) does. What is wrong?

    Just bought a new Airport Extreme BS. After setup my iphone4 won't find the network (not even with manual entries), but my iMac (2009) does. What is wrong?

    Well, after another call with Apple support and the engineers, no success.  After spending over 20 hours trying to debug this, I give up.  Apple was basically fishing for a solution with trial-and-error settings on the iphone.  Then they wanted me to plug in software to log my iphone connections to the router, etc, etc., etc., at which point I decided I no longer wanted to participate in their testing process and will simply return the router.
    25 hours of my life I'll never get back.
    Big bummer, and frustrating for all the obvious reasons.

  • My project in imovie says source unavailable after I moved the events to the backup drive. It is connected and shows up in the events library. I can see the pictures but they won't play without the source. What do I do.

    My project in imovie says source unavailable after I moved the events to the backup drive. It is connected and shows up in the events library. I can see the pictures but they won't play without the source. What do I do.

    I moved it because I did not have room on my hard drive to import my latest video. I take videos my grandkids basketball games then edit them as projects. I don't have room to move the whole events library back to my hard drive. Can I move part of it at a time.
    I filled up my 1 TB back up drive so got a 3TB to move my video projects to. Do I have to move both the i photo videos and the projects to the 3 TB drive together some how. When can I delete them off the hard drive .
    I moved all the i photo library to the 3 TB drive and deleted them out of i photo. That is 87 GB which I don't have room for on my hard drive.
    I think when I use the export movie to my hard drive it works but will I still be able to edit it later if I want. Is it best to do quick time or i tunes if I use the export feature.

  • Using adobe updater i can download PS6 update but it won't install.

    Using adobe updater i can download PS6 update but it won't install.

    I have just had a good chat with an Adobe live chat person.  He has explained to me why I am getting the U44M1P7 error.
    I have a perpetual version of CS6 that I bought earlier in the year.   The creative cloud update only applies to versions of CS6 that have been downloaded via creative cloud.  The error means I am trying to update a version of CS6 (my perpetual copy) that has aleady been updated.
    I have version 13.0.4   and the update is 13.1.2.     If I want the update I have to uninstall CS6 from my computer (my perpetual version) and download CS6 from creative cloud.  Then I will be able to have the updates.
    Hope this helps you.  I haven't ried it yet but will post my results when I do.

  • Airport Extreme: Can't Print for some reason

    While trying to set up my Airport Extreme, and trying to get my computer to print to my printer it's connected to (my computer reads the printer just fine) then it gives me the error message, "An error occurred communicating with the selected base station," when I try to set things up on my Airport Setup Assistant. It's not printing to the printer, even though I downloaded both the driver and installed the Airport Extreme Cd. This is the image that I see: http://img401.imageshack.us/my.php?image=picture1zm8.png
    Please help! Do I HAVE to hook the printer or Airport Extreme up to a computer in order to have it work? Or can it just be plugged into the router, and the printer plugged into the usb jack in the back of the AE? There is one light in the middle of the AE that is lit, and that's about it... Sometimes the other two light up. Thank you!

    Stacking doesn't work in anything but folder view, and even then only when you are viewing images in a single folder (not including its subfolders). I may have some details wrong on this last bit, I can't quite remember this morning.

  • How/where do I find the password/passphrase on airport extreme to set up printer?

    I am trying to set up my printer, and I have the Airport Extreme router. It asks for a password/pass phrase and states that it should be ont he bottom of the router. I have tried every number and letter that is on the bottom of the router and still I can't get the printer set up. It keeps stating that I have the wrong WPA password. Anyone know where I can find this WPA password?

    It's the same one you use when connecting to your wireless network with a computer, and no, it's not printed anywhere on the Extreme.
    If you are using a Mac that you use with that Extreme, I have a way to determine it.
    If not, you will need to reconfigure your Extreme with a WPA password you remember.
    Let me know which procedure you would like.
