Why can't i see my printer resources when connected to my airport

I can't see my printer resources i.e. ink levels etc when I have my Epson 2400 printer connected via my airport extreme. I there a way to access this info. in this configuration or is that something thats only available when the printer is connected to my computer?

or is that something thats only available when the printer is connected to my computer?
That is correct.  Only the print function is supported when the device is connected to the USB port on the AirPort.
If you can connect the device using wireless or Ethernet, then you will have full functionality.

  • Why can't I "see" shared printer on other Mac

    Hi There,
    This is my first time in here... after WEEKS of trying to figure this out, I thought I'd give you guys a shot.
    I have two older Macs (Putty G3 and an iBook) both running OS 9.2.2, I have an Epson Photo Stylus 1280 hooked up via USB to the G3. We've been sharing this printer for a few years now (over Cable modem with an Asanté FriendlyNet router).
    Now my question is... Why can't my new iMac "find" the printer? Is there a solution, or am I doomed to buy a new printer (and find a place to put it)?

    Dave,
    Welcome to this forum, it is really helpful and the people on here are so knowledgeable. I had a similar problem and I'll tell you how I solved my problem and maybe it will help you. I too bought a new iMac 17" not long ago and had used my two printers (an Epson 740) and a LexmarkX3350 with my older iMac G3 and my Powerbook PC but I couldn't get it to work with the new iMac. I tried loading the disk that came with my printer to reload it on my computer and the disk wouldn't work as I guess it isn't intel compatible. So I had to go to the Lexmark site and download the driver for my model. Then I was able to locate the printer in my application folder and click on it and then activate it from there.
    Then whenever I use either printer I just go to File, then print and make sure I have the right printer model selected when the print dialogue box appears. The printer part will be right at the top and you can arrow to whichever one you are using and it all works fine.

  • Why can't I see a preview image when opening files in InDesign?

    I have "Always save preview images with documents" checked in File Handling, also with Save As. But I can only see the CS3 ID icon in my folders on the desktop, and when opening a file in InDesign. I'm running 10.4.11. Shouldn't I be able to see a preview image of the first page of an InDesign file?
    Thanks!

    i think those preview images means that indesign saves a lowres image of every placed image inside indd. So you can open your indd in some other computer and see all placed images even if you don´t have all the original linked hires images transferred with indd.
    If you want to see your documents first page as document icon, use Bridge to browse your files. It recognizes a content of indd files and show first page as icon. .

  • Why can I only see my Camera Roll when uploading photos?

    Trying to upload pictures to Facebook but when I click the camera I can only see the camera roll, can't see any of my albums.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    If you go to system preferences and then displays you'll get all the options for adjusting what you are asking for. I also use a TV for the same purpose you are describing. I find it works best to leave it in the manner you are describing. Mirroring just duplicates everything unless of course that is the effect you are going for. You can also adjust the positioning of the monitors in the relation to each other weather you want one on the left or right or which one to be the main and secondary. Then all you will need to do is swipe the media player onto the other monitor and then your main monitor will be free to use while you watch your videos on the other. Essentially, your desktop area will span your computer monitor and the TV screen you can also change the desktop image on both screens to different images they don't need to be the same. I watch a lot of TV shows I have in itunes. This way I can watch TV and still use my computers main monitor for the internet or whatever.

  • Why can't I see my Itunes library when I connect to the computer?

    I want to see what songs are in my Ipod with my new nano and with my mini, when plugged in to my computer I had the option to see every song in my device. I can't see any of my songs when I click on the Music tab. I need to change some of the file names as they show up in all different places.

    scotty, you have to have your iTunes open and running to air play unless you subscribe to Match.

    I've set up Mail on my new Mac, but the folders I have set up in my Hotmail are not visible. Funny, coz I can see the folders when using Mail on my Iphone. Have I set the connection between Hotmail and my Mac incorrectly? It was very automated so I don't know what I did incorrectly. Can anyone out there give me a tip?

  • Why can I not see Nvidia graphics card when i click "more info" on my 15 inch macbook pro?

    I've just purchased a mid 2012 macbook pro
    its supposed to have an Nvidia graphics card, but when i click "about this mac" --> "more info" i only see Intel HD 4000 graphics card. Is this ok? Does this mean that somebody opened my macbook and stole the card :- /

    Nope - it's likely just the card in use at the time when you do the More Info...
    ...to check to see if the card is 'there' hold down the option key and select System Information from the Apple menu. Go under Hardware>Graphics & Displays and two cards should be listed.
    Good luck,

  • Why can't I see the drop-down menus in the organizer? (I see them OK in the editor)

    Why can't I see the drop-down menus in the organizer?  (I see them OK in the Editor)

    Yes you are right.  You have to set it to 100% to see the menu words.  Makes all the print kind of small though..quirky program.

    Hi Donald
    Go to the control panel and check dpi scaling under Appearance or Display.
    It’s not uncommon to see a setting of 125% or higher to improve screen readability but PSE requires a dpi of 96 or 100%
    Whilst the Editor Menu will appear at 120% to 149% the Organizer Menu (and the advanced button in downloader) won’t. Sometimes the mouse or tool cursors are distorted.
    Try a setting of 115% or 116% otherwise 100%. A common display resolution, notably for notebooks/laptops, and netbooks is 1024 x 768 but PSE requires a screen height of 800 for full functionality. If your height resolution is out of the range 768 to 800 try experimenting with the slider/settings.

  • Using Application Manager, why can't I see my CS5.5 applications, just CS6 lists to buy?

    I am migrating my CS5.5 apps from an old XP laptop to a new Win8. Also Acrobat Pro, so I am using Application Manager to make sure I am not offending version copy allowances, but Application Manager is not showing any of the apps on my system, jut CS6 to buy and a couple trials. Where are my current Adobe applications?

    GMM

    Once you save that to a location on your system.
    Make sure Acrobat is Quit and then do this:
    1.  In the Finder go to the "Go" menu.
    2. Select Go to Folder
    3.  Paste this path into the "Go to the Folder:" field
    /Applications/Adobe Acrobat XI Pro/Adobe Acrobat Pro/Contents/Resources/JavaScripts/
    4. Copy the file into the JavaScripts folder.
    5. Launch Acrobat
    Now you should see the menu spoken of in the blog and web page.

  • Why can't I see HP utilities in applications?

    My wife and I each have os x.  We each have HP utilities.  On her laptop, HP utilities appears in the applications folder.  In mine it only appears in the system preferences, printer and scanner, printer options.  Why can't I see it in the applications folder?

    To be clear, I meant to say that we each have OS X 10.9.

  • Why can´t I see contacts and calendar events from my iPhone in my mac pro if I already registered it in the cloud?

    Why can´t I see contacts and calendar events already registered in my iPhone, in my Mac Pro ?  I already actualize LION OSX   and selected these items in the adjustments menu of the icloud. I could do it just once, after I installed Lion OSX, but up to the moment it does not updates.

    Assuming you activated iCloud, try going to Settings>iCloud and make sure Calendars and Contacts are set to ON.

  • HT1947 Why can't I see all songs for an artist when using iPad remote for home sharing music through apple tv.

    Why can't I see all my songs for an artist when I search by artist using iPad remote? I'm listening to music via home sharing through apple tv using iPad 2 as my remote. All my songs seem to be listed fine under "songs", but when I select "artist" many of the songs I have for that artist are not there, any idea why that is or how I can fix this.....I suspect it's because many songs may not be associated with an album and it seems only songs in albums are displayed when I search by artist.

    Thanks Ferretbite, but that's not the issue in my case, the songs are not part of a compilation. I just checked several of them and the "Part of a compilation" box is unchecked.....it seems as if the song does not have an album associated with it, it will not display under the artist when I search by artist on the iPad remote which REALLY stinks.
    Hope someone else might have a solution.

  • Why can't I see my iPhoto files in iMovie?

    [DISCLAIMER: My question is short, but my details are not. This is going to be a LONG read, but I wanted to make sure I provided all you helpful people with as much information as I could so that I could receive the best possible solution. So your patience and assistance is greatly appreciated!]
    In iMovie [version 4.0.1], when I click on the Photo button to import pictures into my project from iPhoto, the following error message appears: "No photos were found. To use this feature, you must first create a photo library using iPhoto version 2.0 or later."
    However... I AM using iPhoto [version 4.0.3]... with a HUGE Library containing 2000+ images and several created albums. These features work just fine within the confines of that program. They just aren't integrating with iMovie correctly. So... why can't I see my iPhoto files in iMovie?!!?!
    FIRST ATTEMPT:
    When I checked iMovie help, all it said was "You must open iPhoto at least one time on your computer to be able to access your iPhoto library from iMovie." I've obviously done this, having used the program plenty. Didn't work.
    SECOND ATTEMPT:
    When I checked this forum, the closest thread I could find that was similar to my problem suggested deleting the iMovie preferences file [com.apple.imovie3.plist]. It was later added that deleting the iPhoto preferences file [com.apple.iphoto.plist] as well had solved the problem immediately for that user. Tried it. Didn't work.
    THIRD ATTEMPT:
    When I checked the Apple Info site, their main solution was to try recreating the AlbumData.xml file which is used to populate the photo listing. Now this file can usually be found in the iPhoto library folder and I know how to recreate it. But THIS is where I think my main problem lies.
    Unlike most users, my iPhoto Library is actually located on an external hard drive under "my hard drive name"/Pictures/iPhoto Library. When I checked this folder for the AlbumData.xml file , it simply did not exist. So as a test, I created a new iPhoto Library also on my external hard drive but the AlbumData.xml file was not created with it. I opened up iMovie just to see if it was able to browse the iPhoto library properly. But it still didn't work.
    However, when I created a test iPhoto Library directly onto my Mac's hard drive, the AlbumData.xml file was indeed created with it. And when I opened up iMovie again... lo and behold, the iPhoto library finally appeared. It worked. But unfortunately, this solution still doesn't help me at all!
    Thing is, I don't have enough space on my Mac's direct hard drive to move my entire iPhoto Library there (where it works). That's why I am using an external hard drive to store (more space). So is there ANY way I can keep my iPhoto Library located on my external hard drive and have the library, albums and files recognized in the other iLife applications like iMovie???
    I feel I've tried everything, folks Could someone please please help me?!!?!
    [my specs are listed below if that helps any]
    Thanks in advance,

    PowerBook G4 12" [1GHz, 256MB, 40GB]   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   GeForce FX Go5200 32MB, Matshita DVD-R UJ-816, Maxtor External Hard Drive [250GB, Firewire & USB 2.0]

    My main concern at this point is that the AlbumData.xml file is unable to create itself onto the External HD. When I view the file [that I created from my test iPhoto Library on my Mac's HD] in finder, it appears to be a Final Cut Pro type of extension. Is something wrong with my External Hard Drive in that regard? Is it just incapable of storing those file types??? Hmmm...
    As for the alias solution... instead of alias-ing the "Pictures" folder like you have, I've already tried creating an alias of the "iPhoto Library" folder on my External HD and placing it within the "Pictures" folder on my Mac. But when I tried to "Find Library" upon launching iPhoto, the prompt box would not allow me to choose the "iPhoto Library" alias I had created. So I couldn't open it.
    To be honest, I'm not exactly sure how to create an alias correctly... or perhaps I should try alias-ing the actual "Pictures" folder (like you have) rather than just the "iPhoto Library" folder, but I don't know how to do that correctly either.
    FYI... I am mounting my External HD before I launch iPhoto.
    Also, I have also tried dragging the AlbumData.xml file that I created from the test iPhoto Library into my active iPhoto Library folder residing on my External HD. It would appear to be in the folder, but as soon as I clicked somewhere else in finder and than back into the folder, it would disappear. Not sure how to "point to it" either.
    Karl, think maybe you could provide some hints on how to properly alias something or "point" to the AlbumData.xml file? I'd try it myself, but I don't wanna screw anything up by accident.
    PS. As stated in the post above, there's a possibility my External HD is no longer Mac OS formatted... at which point I throw my hands up into the air and scream!
    thanks for the tips thus far... everyone's so nice and helpful... I love it!
