Using USB Printer with EA6500 with IMac

I've got my network up and running but the router doesn't see my USB printer. Using the Linksys Smart Wi-Fi software to find USB Devices none show up. Nor does the 'refresh' bring up my printer.
Thanks any advice

What is the brand or model of your printer. It would be best to check the tested printers list for EA6500. although there are some printers that may work even though it is not on the list, but then still it may not work. Also make sure that the printer driver is already installed in that computer and do not use the generic drivers.
To check the list of tested printers, check this link:

AE and USB Print / Scan / Copy with HP PSC-2410

My Airport Express finds my HP printer immediately upon plugging the printer into the AE USB port. Printing to it from various macs around the house has been wonderful...but...In order to use the HP's other functions, such as scanning and copying, it seems that the printer must be directly connected to a mac in order for these functions to work.
Another poster said that he could not check his ink levels on an Epson printer through an AE USB connection, but could once he directly connected the printer to his Mac.
It seems that the AE will only act as a print server and will not allow for any other features to be shared.
Anyone else find this to be the case? Is there a fix? It is a pain to have to unplug from the AE and plug into the Mac every time I want to scan something.
Thanks!

...but...In order to use the HP's other functions, such as scanning and copying, it seems that the printer must be directly connected to a mac in order for these functions to work.
That is true. The USB port on the AirPort Express suppports only printing.
Another poster said that he could not check his ink levels on an Epson printer through an AE USB connection, but could once he directly connected the printer to his Mac.
That is also true. Those utilities depend on a direct USB connection to the printer. See KB 107430, AirPort Extreme, AirPort Express: Can't use USB printer utilities while printer sharing.
It seems that the AE will only act as a print server and will not allow for any other features to be shared.
That is exactly correct.

Using USB Printer on Beige G3 with Localtalk/Serial Port - How?

I have an Epson Stylus 740 which has both DIN 8/Serial port and USB connections, but the serial quit showing-up, so I want to connect via the USB connector. Is this possible?
Is there an adapter from DIN 8 Serial/Localtalk connector on Beige G3 to USB for Printer?
Or do I need to buy a PCI to USB card?
Other solution?
thanks

Russo:
If you tried to connect an adaptor to the serial port that had a USB connector on the end, it probably won't work since the serial port isn't currently working. You'd need a USB PCI card to connect to the USB.
I have this same printer, originally used the serial port and then switched to USB when I got the PCI card. This has worked great.
You should see if something got turned off. Look at these:
Under the Apple Menu>Control Panel > AppleTalk - make sure the printer port is selected
Under Apple Menu>Control Panel > Remote Access > Modem (from the drop down menu) - make sure that the printer port isn't selected
Under Apple Menu > Control Panel > USB Printer sharing - make sure that is turned OFF.
You might also have to install drivers for the Epson from the disk that came with it. If you insert the CD and choose "custom install" you'll get another screen that allows you to choose the serial driver package.
Post back if you get it working (or don't).

Local usb printing LJ P1102W with tsweb access

Hello,
I have a laptop with windows 7 prof 64bits installed and a local usb printer HP Laserjet p1102w CE657A installed. Now I try to print via tsweb access (2008 server 64bits) a document, but this doesn't work. The printer is accessible via the server with a redirected session and uses the Terminal Services Easy Print driver. Is this a known issue and is there a possible solution? It's a business solution so I have not the opportunity to use the wifi option. I have also tried to install the own drivers and to share printer on the server, but this will not work also.
Local usb printing is working.
Greetings,
Marcel

Use GPEDIT.msc to open local group policy on the terminal server.
The policy location is “Computer Configuration -> Administrative templates -Windows Components -> Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host -> Printer Redirection”. Set it as disabled. Open CMD command and run GPUPDATE /Force on the CMD command and log off then log on to make the changes affected.
It works for me.

How IPAD use the Printer which connected with the Time Capsule

I connnected a printer to time capsule. And I can use the printer in Windows. But I can't use it on IPAD and IPHONE.
So are there any solutions?

iOS devices can only print directly to AirPrint printers. Wireless printers or printers connected to a Time Capsule are not necessarily AirPrint capable.
To print directly from an iPad / iPhone you will need an AirPrint compatible printer or another device to act as a print server. That can be a Mac computer running Printopia ($19.95 with free trial) or handyPrint (donation - supported). The Mac must be "on" but may be asleep for them to work. Equivalent PC options exist but you're on your own finding them.
You can also buy this standalone print server:
http://www.lantronix.com/it-management/xprintserver/xprintserver.html
The xPrintServer Home Edition will support a directly connected USB printer. The Network Edition will support any network printer.
These options enable you to use any printer available to your Mac, even older ones that may predate AirPrint by decades.
Otherwise you will need to buy an AirPrint printer or multifunction device.

How can I use samsung printer scx-4016 with macbook

can't load mac software on intel macbook.
can't find mac driver or software on samsung site.
has anyone else been able to use the multifunction printer with their intel macbook?

You can try using one of the of the Gimp-Print
drivers included with Mac OS X if you cannot locate
printer software for your specific printer model. If
your printer supports PostScript Level 2 or
PostScript Level 3, select Generic PostScript Printer
as the print model. If you are experiencing an issue
using the driver designed for your printer model, you
may be able to workaround the issue by adding the
printer via a Gimp-Print driver or the Generic
PostScript Printer Description file.
I don't understand any of what you have written about Gimp-print drivers.
This printer does not support postScript. Could you please give me more detailed instructions about what I should do.
Sorry it has taken me this long to get back to this problem, but regular life got in the way to handling this until now. I have to copy everything I want to print to my windows machine from my macbook. I am very frustrated with it.
Samsung is no help and only lists win or linux drivers.

Using USB DV Tape Camcorders with Macbook Air

I am trying to understand whether it's possible to use a USB DV Tape Camcorder with the air. I have a PV-GS500 Camcorder, it has both firewire and USB ports. With a MBP, you can easily transfer movies from the camera to the computer via firewire, using iMovie. Now with a PC, you can transfer movies to the computer via USB. The PC recognizes the camera, once it's plugged into USB, as a "DV device". But what about the MBA? They lack firewire ports, so the only connection is via USB. You'd think that since they lack firewire ports, Apple would allow them to recognize the camera via USB, in the same way a PC would. But I can't get this to work, and I don't see any comments about that on the internet.
Any ideas?

Hi Jean-Paul,
You can use wireless as well as a wired connection for Migration Assistant (you'd need the USB-to-Ethernet adapter if you went wired).

Using USB printer on Sun Ray 2

Can someone direct me to a document or explain how I can configure the Sun Ray Software to allow me the ability to print to a USB printer attached to a Sun Ray 2 thin client. I believe this is possibele using the USB redirection utility but only when connecting to Windows XP desktops. I see it's being done when connecting to Windows 2003 Terminal Server. Any help or info on this would be great.
Thanks!

Here is a repost of my article on the sun-ray users mailing list.
Lars Tunkrans
Wed, 27 Jan 2010 09:34:47 -0800
This article is for using Solaris as the Sun Ray server.
I have used a Sun-Ray local USB attached printer in two ways.
Precondition1: The printer was using Postscript rendering.
The printer had its own rendering engine.
The printer was NOT a dumb windows-driver dependant printer.
Precondition2 the user logging on needs to have the printer administrator RBAC role to be allowed
to create /destroy printqueues.
1) Printing from Solaris.
Set up a solaris printqueue with
lpadmin -p printername -v " sunray devicename" -I postscript -T PS -m printermodel
This will use the solaris lpfilter mechanism to convert the printdata to postcscript protocoll.
2) Printing from Windows.
Set up a solaris printqueue with
lpadmin -p printername -v " sunray devicename" -m printermodel
Set up the windows printer with a working windows Postscript driver.
The windows included hplaserjet-postscript driver works. for a hplaserjet printer.
or any printer emulating the HPlaserjet like many Xerox printers do,
This setup will generate the Postscript protocol on the windows PC , and it will merely
"pass-though" the Solaris spooler without change.
So if you need to print from both the SR server and the windows PC you need to define two spooler queues for each printer. Below are two scripts that have existed in various versions on sun-rays.org that I enhanced a bit and ran from the VDI superstructure to make it do what I wanted. For windows printing you then need to pass the printername as an argument to the "uttsc" startup command.
uttsc ......... -r printer $printername .........

Printing from a PC Laptop on a USB printer connected to an iMac

I just replaced my desktop PC with a new iMac and have been fighting with setting up a working network for the past few days. I have managed to get file sharing going, but have unable to get the printer working from my wireless laptop.
The printer is physically connected to the iMac via USB connection.
The DSL Modem/router is physically connected to the iMac via Ethernet cable.
The Laptop connects with the iMac via wireless connection with the DSL Modem/router.
I can't get the laptop to recognize that the iMac has a printer installed, and often it doesn't even want to acknowledge that the iMac exists.
Please help!!

I think I found an answer at http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/3012.html.
I was able to print after doing this, now I just have to see what happens next time I attach this laptop to my home network!!!

Printing to USB printer connected to old iMac over Network

I have old Rev B iMac running OS 9 upstairs in the office, this has a USB printer connected to it.
Downstairs I have a Mac Mini running OS 10.3.9
Both these machines are networked together via a router. This all seems to work fine, I can see the drives of both computers from either computer.
My problem though is printing. I want to be able to print from the Mac Mini to the printer attached to the old iMac. I've done all the USB printer sharing business on the OS 9 iMac, but it still doesn't appear in the printer options on the Mac Mini.
Is this possible to do? .....looking through the help topics on my Mac Mini, there was several mentions of printing from OS9 to a printer connected to an OSX machine. But I haven't found any mention of being able to go the other way.

There is a way to do this, but it isn't easy. The grim details are:
1. set up the iMac running OS 9 as a print server using the free utility Print66
2. set up printing from the Mac running 10.3.9 in the Printer Setup Utility, choosing IP Printing using the LPR protocol, to the IP address of the iMac. Additional hurdle - you will need to use the third-party printer driver GimpPrint if you are using anything but a Postscript language laser printer on the iMac.
This will work, but unfortunately it is not an exercise for the beginner.
Incidentally, doing it the other way around is considerably easier (printer connected to and shared by the Mac mini running OS X). See Printing to a Mac OS X shared printer from Mac OS 9 via LPD/LPR

Using USB Keyboard and Mouse with S6000-f Ideatab

First you need a Microusb to USB adaptor pluged in, then plug in a usb hub I'm using a 4 port unpowered mini hub
then plug in a usb keyboaed and mouse.
it works good in Kingsoft office and AndrOpen office or any app that needs you to type
it does disable the touch pad keyboard, until you unplug the usb keyboard. It's alot cheaper than a blue tooth keyboard
I'm using a Samsung micro usb to usb connector model EPL-AU10WEGXAR
Keyboards tested: Dynex usb and Acer usb
Mouse tested: Kingston usb
Any usb keyboard and Mouse should work.
Also I tested a Thumb drive. Sandisk 8gig it shows up in the file manager .
So you dont have to use a MicoSD card. The one thing back up and restore only uses the MicroSD card slot.
I havent found out how to change that yet.
I dont think any of this is in the Manual I just like to share useful Info.

No Ethernet using USB Dock 3.0 with X1Carbon

This USB 3.0 Dock is simply not a Production prime-time solution for a serious User. Maybe someday, but it's overpriced bling junk right now. I've completely given up with the multi-monitor option as the performance, when working, is like an RDP session over a poor WAN connection at best. I've just thrown up my hands and will use an alternative hardware multi-monitor solution from Matrox as my fiddling time limit has been exceeded..
I would still like to use the USB 3.0 Dock as the most expensive USB Hub ever sold. Unfortunately, the USB Dock Ethernet network connection is not recognized. (The USB 2.0 Network on the laptop itself works okay) The USB 3.0 Dock ethernet worked one time for about 10 seconds, but then my monitors went completely berserk, disconnecting and connecting over and over. Then no Ethernet never to show up again. A lesser issue is the audio jack doesn't work either, but who cares about that when there's an audio jack right there on the X1 Carbon 12" away.
Can anyone who has one of these frustrating devices suggest what I should do to get the network connectivity working? I've done all the obvious, usual stuff. (un-install, re-install, turn-off, turn-on, throw on floor, etc.)
Thanks!

A recent X1 Carbon BIOS Update that showed up in Lenovo - Update and Drivers (32-bit) really, really improved the multi-monitor performance in my case. It's still not as good as the traditional bottom mount H/W Dock, but attached screens don't spontaneously disconnect any longer and it's more than useable. Hopefully I'll get a nice surprise with the USB 3.0 ethernet at some point in the future.
I didn't want to leave a crappy product rant out there without stating Lenovo has obviously made some sort of adjustment / improvement to their product.

Using USB Audio surround speakers with iTunes (they don't work)

My HP USB Audio surround sound speakers (which are brand new) do not work with iTunes; however, they do function because they work with Windows Media Player.
Can someone assist me to get them working along with the built-in speakers on the laptop?
Thank you.

Use USB and Ethernet Printers with AP Extreme

I currently have an HP 1210 connected to the USB port of my AP Extreme BS. I want to add an HP 1320n to the network so I can print to either printer. (My BS is connected to a cable modem.) Can I just connect the HP to the LAN port of the BS, or... should I connect the HP to an ethernet hub, connect the LAN port of the BS to the hub and leave the cable modem directly connected to the WAN port of the BS for firewall protection?

For the standard consumer model of the Airport Base Station, you can only connect one printer to the USB port of the Base Station.
On the other hand, there is no practical limit to the number of network printers you can hook up to an ethernet cabled network tied to the LAN port of the Base Station.
