WGA54G v2. and connecting it a printer.

Hi,
I have a WGA54G v2. and I need use it as wireless access point for a wired printer. I have an apple Time Capsule with a built in router. Anyone know how to get these two to talk to each other ???
Miles.

There are two ways to connect a Linksys router to another router:
1. LAN to LAN – Connecting one of the Ethernet ports (LAN ports) of the second Linksys router to one of the Ethernet ports (LAN ports) of the main router.
This connection makes the computers connected to both routers to be on the same LAN IP segment. This will allow sharing of resources within the network.
2. LAN to WAN – Connecting one of the Ethernet ports (LAN ports) of the main router to the Internet port (WAN port) of the second Linksys router.
This connection makes it easier to identify which router the computers are connected to since they will have different LAN IP segments. Thus, computers that are connected to router A will not be able to communicate with router B, and vice versa since they are two different networks.
Here is the link for the configuration - http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=d4bfc9fde5284a4b845c9057ffbeb644_4735.xml&pid=80&r...

Why won't my Macbook Pro recognize (and connect to) a printer on same WiFi network as my Mac.

My Macbook Pro was connected and printing to my WiFi network just fine. However, I started getting an error message saying my printer was not connected. I checked my printer and it is still connected to wirelss network and the printer test confirmed it was with a strong signal. I have turned off and restarted both the printer and Macbook but I am still getting the same error and it will not print. I decided to delete the printer and add it back, however, when I tried to add it my Macbook didn't list this device or my label maker that is also connected to the network. It is as though my Mac is not recognizing any devices on the network. Could I have a setting wrong on my Macbook? My notebook is connected to the network and it is working. Both my printing devices show they are connected to the same network. Help! I would appreciate any suggestions !

I had almost the same thing happen the other day - kept getting a message that my printer was not connected. I went to the printer setup on the printer's panel and the IP address was correct, everything looked as if it should be working. So I just reset my router - figuring that would fix the problem. No go. What I finally ended up doing was resetting my router to factory settings and setting it up anew.
And that's what worked for me.

TS1253 I am connected to internet through modem. How can I use Time Capsule as a wreless harddrive and connection to USB printer

Can I use a Time Capsule as a part of my network> I am connected to internet through modem and want to use Time capsule as a wireless harddrive and wireless connection to usb printer. How can I do that? Please help

This type of setup is not officially supported by Apple.
It might be possible to configure the Time Capsule this way, but please take a minute to consider a few things that you may not have thought about, as this is...frankly....the worst possible way that you could configure the Time Capsule.
Wireless backups will take twice as long as normal wireless. Why? The signal must make a "double hop".
Hop "one" would be from your Mac to the wireless router, then the signal must make hop "two" to get back to the Time Capsule.
In addition to doubling the time for backups to occur, this doubles the chances for an error to occur during a backup.
The Ethernet ports are not enabled at all on the Time Capsule when it is configured this way, so backup over much faster Ethernet is not possible.
The USB port is enabled, so assuming that the printer is compatible, it could be configured to connect that way. Keep in mind that only printing is supported. If you have an All-in-One device, advanced functions like scan, copy, maintenenance will not be supported.
So, do you really want to try this? There are no guarantees here that things will work at all.

Wired airport express to extend wireless network and connect network printer?

Is it possible to configure and connect an Airport Express via ethernet cable to an Airport Extreme base station in order to extend wireless network AND connect a network printer to it? Here's the deal...The Airport Extreme is directly connected to my DSL modem and the wireless network is working fine in my house, but, the signal does not reach my detached studio/office. I have a Cat5e cable (and phone line, more on this later) run between the two locations and trimmed out. I would like to have wireless access and connect my network printer (Brother HL-2170W, wireless or wired) in my studio, be able to use printer from house also, and still have wireless access in house.
So, ethernet connection from Extreme to Express, USB from Express to Printer, wireless access for all users. Can anyone talk me through how to (re)configure the Express to do this? Do I need to make changes to Extreme configuration also?

Problem Connecting to Shared Printer on Leopard from Windows XP

Hey guys,
Just installed Leopard yesterday, and I have a Canon PIXMA MP160 printer connected via USB.
I have set the printer to be Shared, and enabled Printer Sharing in the Sharing preferences.
However, when I try and connect to the printer from a Windows XP laptop, it says: Access Denied, Unable to Connect.
I imagine that this is because I would have provide a username / password combo in order to access the network resources on my Leopard machine. I just can't figure out how to send the credentials, or disable the login necessity if needs be.
If this isn't the problem, or if it cannot be fixed then the alternative is to connect the printer to my router, which shares it via SMB. Now that's fine when I want to connect to it from Windows, but I can't figure out a way to set it up on Leopard.
The MP160 driver that comes with Leopard isn't marked as "Modern" which, according to the documentation means that it cannot be used to install IP or Windows Shared printers.
So my question is, to sum up, is there a way to fix the access problem when trying to access a shared printer on Leopard from Windows, and is there any way I can install and use the printer from Leopard while its shared from my Router via SMB?
Thanks in advance.
Edit:
I just thought it would be helpful to say that I'm able to connect and browse through SMB shares from Windows Systems, and I'm able to connect and browse through shared volumes on Leopard from Windows. It's just the printing that's not playing fair.
Message was edited by: Jasarien

I had Bonjour for Windows working on two XP machines before I upgraded to Leopard. After that when the Bonjour printer would not work I deleted it from the XP machines and re-ran the Bonjour Setup App. It can find the printer every time, but it will not finish and will give me an error instead.
I've also verified that I have Printer Sharing turned on and the printer is specifically set to be shared. I'm out of ideas.
Has anyone heard reports of Bonjour 1.0.4 not working with Leopard or just being buggy under similar circumstances? If that's not the problem, then I must be missing something. Suggestions welcome.

Network Connection Failures Affecting Printing and Finder Access

I have a Canon MX320 connected via USB to my iMac running OSX 10.9.1. The latest Canon printer drivers are installed. Everything works fine with this printer and computer combination. The printer is enabled for shaing over the network.
The problem is that occasionally, the iMac seems to disconnect from any other laptop or desktop computer (Macs or PCs) connected through my wireless router. On a mac laptop (also with OSX 10.9.1) I may lose access to shared directories on the iMac, and more often, I lose the ability to print from the laptop. The print queues are unchanged on all Macs, but remote printing over the network fails with the message "printer not connected", even though the only change may have been that the iMac hosting the printer went to sleep.
Sometimes, waking the iMac allows the network print job to go through, but typically not if the print job is initiated before waking the iMac. The printer queue on the laptop will seem fine, with "printer idle", but as soon as the print job is submitted, it briefly reports "looking for printer", and then "printer not connected". Sometimes, everything (iMac and laptop) needs to be rebooted to re-establish a network printing connection through the iMac.
Trying to reset or delete and re-install the printer queue on the laptop does not fix the problem. I am assuming that this is because the remote connection to the server (the iMac) has effectively been interrupted or lost. The iMac may show up in a Finder window on the laptop as a simple PC icon, but with none of the connected directories visible. trying to re-mount the remote directories by connecting to the "server" (the iMac) often fails. It is as if something has happened to break the connection to the iMac, and both Finder and network printing are thereby disabled until everything is rebooted.
Printer error log entries:
E [13/Feb/2014:08:21:43 -0500] Unknown directive BrowseOrder on line 9 of /private/etc/cups/cupsd.conf.
E [13/Feb/2014:08:21:44 -0500] Unknown directive BrowseAllow on line 10 of /private/etc/cups/cupsd.conf.
This problem is intermittent but seems to be happening often after the Mavericks upgrade. One should not have to wake up a remote computer prior to connecting to it, or asking a printer connected to it to print a job.

Printer offline when it is on and connected to wifi

We have a HP Officejet Pro 8100 that says it is offline when connected to the wifi. Everything was fine until recently. Now when you try to print it says the printer is offline when there is power and connection. Any help would be great!

I have an Ipad and Iphone but I don't have an Airprint, only a WIFI printer,my question is if I connect the wifi printer to Airport express, can I print from Ipad and Iphone ?

I have an Ipad and Iphone but I don't have an Airprint at home but only a WIFI printer, my question is if I connect the wifi printer to Airport express, can I print from Ipad and Iphone ? Please help me if anyone knows about this.

Unfortunately, connecting a non-AirPrint-enabled printer to an AirPort base station's USB port will not make it AirPrint-ready.
You will need to use another solution, like Printopia, to be able to print to this printer from an iOS device.

Airport Express Base Station and HP Laserjet 1020 printer connected

Dear all,
I have a Laptop (PC) Sony Vaio PCG-Z1XSP and an Airport Express Base Station which work perfectly together (internet access and I-tunes). I recently bought a printer HP Laserjet 1020 and connected it to the Airport Express USB soket. I managed to make it work and print a couple of times, but as soon as I turn off the printer or the computer or Airport Express, the next time I want to print, it doesn't work anymore.
The Airport Admin Utility recognises the printer (I can see it listed). I have updated the Airport Express software to the Firmware version 6.3 as well as downloaded the latest driver available on HP's website for my printer. I've also substituted the USB cable. Can anybody help me here? Thank you very much and best regards.

Hallo everybody,
Thanks for all the answers. I have contacted HP's chat online and gone through the problem with 3 different technicians. I've tried a lot myself too. The issue was partially solved by restarting the printer spooler, i.e. stop, then start and then restart it.
However after I was so happy that the printer worked, I turn off everything. When I turn on again, it was not working anymore. Then I tried to see by exclusion what the problem is, I had to restart the Hardwar I don't know how many times.
Conclusion:
1. The USB cable must be plugged into the airport express before turning on anything.
2. Turn on the printer first.
3. Turn on the airport express and the computer.
4. If you try to print it doesn't work, even if you reset the airport express through the airport express utility software. The printer is recognized and appears in it though.
5. Disconnect the USB cable from the airport express and connect it to the PC directly.
6. Print a document.
7. Disconnect the cable and reconnect it to the airport express.
8. Now you should be able to print wireless. You may need to reset the airport expresst with the utility softwar, but I managed to print without having to do it.
9. The pörinter works even if you turn off and on again the computer, or you suspend the windows session and restart it, or if you put it in standby and restart it.
10. The printer works even if you turn off the airport express and the computer, or the airport express alone and restart them/it.
11. The printer doens't work anymore if you turn it off and onn again. In such a case you have to plug in/out as discribeb above.
Solution: Leave the printer always on, or make the plug in/out every morning when you start the computer and print one page direclty before being able to print wireless.
Does anybody have a solution to this problem? I mean it prints, but it is annoying to plug in/out every day, no?
HP's technician says that it is not a recommanded solution the HP Laserjet 1020 with the airport express, since the printer works on a host based server basis... I mean it is easy to say that, but one expects to buy a printer that works always and not to have to plug in/out everyday, restart spooler and so on.
Can anybody comment or suggest anything I can do to avoid this? Thank you and I hope this helps others too.

Officejet Pro 8600 Plus will not print but is connected and says that the print job is 100% Complete

Hi All,
I'm printing from a MacBook Pro using OSX Lion. It says that Officejet Pro 8600 Plus is connected and that the print jop is
100% complete except that nothing comes out of the printer. I've done all of the test prints and they've printed just fine.
I tired all of the troubleshooting steps listed on the support guide and still nothing. HELP!

Not a reply but another plea for help.
There seem to be so many people with wireless problems that a) it seems silly to start a new thread and b) which one to enter my own plea.
-Printer bought about 2~3 weeks into Sept 2012
-Installed onto Macbook Pro running Lion (full updated at that time)
-Both wireless scanning from printer to computer and initiated from computer worked fine.
-Printer, with full choice of duplex, layout etc, worked fine. (Even left 5star feedback somewhere!)
-Set up eprint. That OK, too. Fine from iPad2 and SE Arc S printing photos.
-Somewhere along the line it stopped communicating with my MBP
-Out of interest, since there seemed to be no problems with an Acer laptop running Vista, I booted the MBP from an external drive on which I'd done a backup of my 10.6 system iMac (>300Km away: can't try that). Installed HP software from disc. Seemed fully functional. Odd. Very odd.
-Restarting with Lion on MBP, tried again. Looks as if it might work, but loses connectivity. Tried manual address on printer.
-Booting from 10.6 system again, reinstalled Lion on MBP (wondering if conflict between HP and Apple updates)
-Reinstalled HP software from disc.
Still didn't work.
-Brought Lion up to date. Downloaded most recent dmg file from HP. Looked for updates. Have applied firmware update to printer
8600 doesn't list my MBP as available computer to scan to
[But all the test pages done whilst in HP Utility, and others, get sent through]
Am getting rather fed-up with all this; never, ever before have I had so much printer problem.
There seem to be a number of Lion users out there with the same problem. So far -but very infrequently tried- other machines/systems seem OK, therefore I am coming to the conclusion that it is an Apple<> HP conflict. If not sorted soon the printer will be returned as it is not fit for purpose. I'll revert to using my seldom problematic, non duplex A3 Brother.
Hrumph
Please help, someone! Either with a pointer to something I've not yet tried or by analysis and rapid availablity of updated software.
Thanks,
Mike W

Connecting a serial printer and a USB printer to my G4

I have aquired two Epson Stylus USB printers one of which I have connected to my Windows machine replacing a Star LS24-200 dot matrix serial printer. The other, a C86, is now connected to my G4 replacing a defunct C84.
The Star is in perfect working order (vintage 1992!) and I have several new ink tapes for it. As I have a serial PCI card in my G4, to which is connected an external HD and a Lacie CD-ROM drive, can I also connect the Star printer as a second printer in order to save on black inkjet cartridges?
The external CD-ROM drive and external HD were originally connected to my now redundant 7500/100 Mac. They are still useful though if I have to disconnect them there will not be a problem.
Any suggestions please?
Dual 450 MHz G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

"As I have a serial PCI card in my G4, to which is connected an external HD and a Lacie CD-ROM drive, can I also connect the Star printer as a second printer in order to save on black inkjet cartridges?"
If previously used with your 7500, these external peripherals are undoubtedly SCSI devices, so your G4 must have a SCSI (not "serial") PCI card, such as the Adaptec 2906 with a DB-25 port. Unless that 1992-vintage printer is equipped for connection via SCSI and has Mac drivers that are compatible with the current OS on the G4, you won't be able to connect/use it. Before the ease of USB connectivity, a typical PC printer cable was described as a "Centronics-36 to DB-25" and was intended for connection to the PC's DB-25 parallel port. Although similar in appearance to the DB-25 SCSI port found on many Macs and SCSI peripherals, the two buses are not compatible. Damage to the peripheral and/or host device can occur, if a PC printer is connected to a Mac's SCSI port.
Your only option for using the printer with a Mac would be a USB-to-parallel adapter with included drivers for the printer, such as the now-discontinued "PowerPrint" product. If you check eBay, you may be able to find one.

HP 8500 Printer and Connection to eprint server

Refurbished Printer: HP Officejet Pro 8500 Premium A910 n (Changes status from new to refurbished 02-17-2011)
ISP: ATT DSL
Modem/Router: 2wire new from Best Buy. It is white with ATT logo on it. Is using latest firmware.
Network: ethernet
The printer downloaded and installed a firmware update after initialization. So it is connected to the internet.
It then tried to register to the eprint server and said it cannot connect to eprint server.
The printer functions normally in every way except it will not register to eprint server.
Numerous calls and hours with HP Support rebooting, resetting and everything else under the sun have done nothing.
I tried setting IP and DSN addresses per all the suggestions in these forums and nothing works.
Could there be an issue with the HP Sever? Does it really exist? Are there compatibility issues with 2wire router.
ATT did remote session on my computer and could find nothing they could do. They were able to plot a test page remotely.
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
NEW INFORMATION (02-11-2011):
I noticed today while looking at the EWS that the printer SSID is not the same as the router, but it was grayed out. Does this matter for ethernet? If so how do I change it? I do not think this matters for ethernet.
NEW INFORMATION (02-12-2011):
The support team at 2wire have given me procedure to completely open all in and out traffice to the printer. They said if this does not work then the problem is with the eprint server. I will try this on Monday, but I expect there is a communication problem between the printer and the eprint server that has nothing to with anything at my location or my ISP. Is there any way to check the server this printer is trying to connect to? Where is it? Is it operational? If not, is it rerouting properly to an operational server? The printer must be trying to access a particlar IP address or DNS to establish communication.
NEW INFORMATION (02-14-2011):
Per the instructions from 2wire support team I opened all ports and allowed all services then turned the printer off and on. It did not work. The printer will not connect to the HP eprint server. So the problem is with the HP eprint server. This printer is programmed to look somewhere for a server to connect to. Where is it? Is it operational? Why will not allow a connection? HP the ball is in your court. What can we do?
I have ATT DSL at work and Charter Cable service at home. The problem is the same for both locations and ISP's. Is there anyone out there has connected that has ATT DSL or Charter Cable? If so what are your settings?
NEW COMMENT (02-15-2011)
Can anyone at HP tell me why the printer will connect to the HP Server and download the firmware update, but will not connect to the HP Server to register to eprint? It all seems to be on HP's side. When will we get a fix?
NEW COMMENT (02-16-2011)
The model number is blank in the engineering menu and the printer diagnositc page. If this is an issue can it be added with a firmware update? Do I need to get money back for this one and buy a fully configure one in a local store? Maybe the blank model number is throwing all the other information out of place that is being sent to the server. Can the server be updated to accept blank model numbers?
POSSIBLE SOURCE OF PROBLEM - SOLUTION PENDING (02-16-2011)
I JUST LOOKED ON THE BACK OF MY PRINTER. IT HAS A REMANUFACTURED STICKER ON IT.
It appears that the missing model number on the remanufacturered units is the reason why it will not connect to the eprint server. Print out the printer diagnostic page and see if the model number is blank.
HP is working on a fix.
SOLUTION- (02-22-2011)
I UPGRADED MY ORDER FROM REFURBISHED TO NEW REPLACEMENT. THE NEW REPLACEMENT CONNECTED THE FIRST TIME TO EMPRINT SERVER - NO PROBLEMS. I HAD TO PAY FOR A NEW ONE AND THEY WILL CREDIT MY CARD WHEN THEY GET THE REFURBISHED ONE BACK.
LESSON LEARNED - IF YOU HAVE PRINTER WITH BLANK MODEL NUMBER YOU WILL NOT ABLE TO CONNECT TO EPRINT NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO!
Thanks if anyone can help.

Try setting a fixed IP/DNS…hopefully you haven’t tried that yet. (The problem is most likely w/how therouter and the printer are communicating…setting the fixed IP/Manua DNS should fix it. )          If previous steps didn’t help, you may need to set a fixed IP address/DNS Server on your printer.
Setting a fixed IP address/DNS Server for your printer may resolve web services connectivity issues that can occur on some networks with some routers. Note: This may be particularly helpful with networks using DSL/VIOS routers.
Please read the entire set of instructions through completely before trying them. You should not attempt these on your own if you don't understand networking basics. Most of us have a "techie" buddy/friend/family member...if you're not comfortable this might be a good time to call him/her, or contact HP support.
Before you begin, we recommend you first remove Web Services from your printer. (See the previous section for where to find this on your printer.) Removing web services will remove your printer from your HPePrintCenter.com account (if you have previously set up an account and added it). When you re-enable web services after completing these steps you will have a new ePrint email address and need to add your printer to your ePC account again.
Setting a manual IP address/DNS Server on your web-connected printer:
Print a Network Configuration Page from the printer front panel. On some printers this will be under Wireless>Wireless Settings, and on other models use the “Print Report” option from the Wireless status screen accessed from the wireless icon on the printer home screen.   Note the printer's IP address that is listed in the IPv4 section of the report. On most printers you can also see the printer’s IP address from the Wireless menu, or on the Wireless status screen.
Type that IP address into your browser address bar (where you would normally type a web page URL) and hit enter - this will load the printer's internal settings page (also known as an Embedded Web Server, or EWS)
Select the “Network” or “Networking” tab (the label varies depending on printer model) from the tabs along the top of the screen in the EWS
Depending on your printer model, the next step(s) will vary:
Select the “IPv4” option from along the left side of the Networking screen
or
Select the “Networking” option from the left side of the screen
Then select the “Network Address (IP)” option from the left side of the screen
The screen you end up on should be the “IP Address Configuration” screen. That screen allows you to choose an Automatic or Manual (i.e., fixed) IP address for your printer, as well as Subnet Mask and Default Gateway values. You will use this screen to set a Manual IP address for your printer.
To continue:
Select the radio button next to “Manual IP”
Select the “Suggest a Manual IP Address” option below the IP address fields. The Manual IP address fields will automatically populate with suggested values.
Select the “Manual DNS Server” radio button in the DNS Address Configuration section
Enter the address just entered in the “Manual Default Gateway” into the “Manual Preferred DNS Server” field. Leave the “Manual Alternate DNS Server” entry blank.
Carefully double-check the values you entered to make sure they are all correct.
Click 'Apply'
Save any open documents and close any web browsers on any computers
Turn off the printer and unplug the router.
Plug in the router, wait for it to start up and for status lights to settle down (approximately a minute at least), then turn on the printer.
If you removed web services from your printer before starting this process, after the printer has connected to your network, re-enable web services on your device and add your printer to your account on HPePrintCenter.
If you did not remove web services before setting a manual IP address and are still having connection issues, remove and re-add web services.
In some cases you might need to add the printer to your computer’s Printer/My Printers folder again, after you set the new fixed IP address.   If you have problems printing to your printer, simply use the option to add a printer, select the Networked printer type, and complete the add printer wizard. You will not need to reinstall any printer software on your computer.

The problem is not the router.. the issue is the vpn has put your computer in a different IP range with a different gateway. When you turn off the vpn the computer returns to local lan and can print.
Some vpn software allows you to set gateway to use local net instead of remote gateway or access to other webistes or local lan.
Read up the issue.

https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/239113
I did not search much.. just grabbed the first article I could find that explains the issue.
The whole point of the vpn is whilst it is connected your computer is NOT part of the Local Lan .. it is part of the Remote LAN via the vpn tunnel.
It is also a security risk using split tunnelling so often it will not be allowed.
Plug the printer directly into the computer via usb or whatever.. Local connection will work.. not local lan.

Can I use Airport Express to connect to a printer, Time Machine Back up drive, second b/u drive, and scanner through a USB hub? if so, how?

I have an Airport Express that connects to my printer. I'd like to add a scanner, and two back up drives (one for use with Time Capsule, another specifically for photographs backed up from Adobe Lightroom.
The printer connects to the Airport Express through a USB hub and is recognized. I cannot get the scanner nor either of the back up drives to be recognized. Is there a way to do it or will I need to rely on a USB hub wired to the USB port of the MacBookPro? If it is possible, can you walk me through the set up for each?
Thanks,
Doug Earle

I'd like to add a scanner, and two back up drives (one for use with Time Capsule, another specifically for photographs backed up from Adobe Lightroom.
Unfortunately, the USB port on the AirPort Express will only work with a compatible printer.
It will not work with a scanner, copier, or hard drive.
It should be possible to do what you want by connecting a powered USB hub to your Mac and then connecting the devices to the powered hub.
The setup for the scanner and hard drive would be covered by the manfacturers documentation, so providing specific advice for those types of products would be outside the realm of this support area.
But, if you can provide model numbers, it is always possible that another user who is using those products might see this post.
