Wireless printing with Airport Express not working

I set up my Airport Express. I have an HP photojet printer and I can print from my Mac Air but the other 3 windows-based laptops that are connecting to Airport Express can't. Anyone know why that is or how to fix it?

You did install and run Bonjour for Windows on each PC, correct?
Does Bonjour "see" the printer...and it won't install....or.....does Bonjour not "see" the printer at all?
Just in case.....

  • Airport Extreme Wireless Printing with Snow Leopard Not Working

    I have two base stations in my home office: an Airport Express that's connected to the cable modem, and an older Airport Extreme (A1034) that's connected to my printer on the other side of the room. They were networked together so that I could go online or print wirelessly without a problem, until I upgraded to Snow Leopard. Now I can go online, and I can print directly from a USB cable to my HP printer, but I can't print wirelessly. The Extreme doesn't seem to show up at all in Airport Utility. Is there a way to get this to work again? Thanks.

    Yes, I do have the latest drivers. I can print directly to the printer through USB. I don't seem to be able to access the Airport Extreme base station though.

  • Slow wireless printing with Airport Express

    I have a Canon MP530 printer hooked up to an Airport Express for wireless printing. My wireless internet network is through an Airport Extreme. The only thing hooked into the Express is the printer, and it works but is extremely slow. It can take an hour to print one 15 page document. Any ideas how to fix this?

    I'm not sure I understand your question, or at least I don't know how to tell connection speed with the utility. The express is set up as an extension to my current wireless network, although I'm only using it for printing.
    I had a similar experience with a hard drive wirelessly connected to the Extreme - data transfer was ridiculously slow. Is this something to be expected with wireless connectivity?

  • HP Laserjet 1010 & Wireless printing via Airport USB - Not working in SL

    Hi There,
    After just upgrading to Snow Leopard on my MacBook I tried printing wirelessly to my HP Printer, but no luck!
    Printer: HP Laserjet 1010
    Connected via: Airport with USB cable
    Snow Leopard recognises the printer and is fine to print when the printer is connected directly to the MacBook via USB cable, but:
    When I set up wireless printing, it finds the printer (via Bonjour) but simply will not print. The print monitor gets to 24% or so of the file processed and then just stops & fails.
    Everything was fine under 10.5 Leopard. It seems it should work, but no printing occurs! Any ideas?
    Many thanks,
    Paul

    I had a similar-sounding problem with my HP1012.
    The fix:
    a. power-cycled the Airport Extreme.
    b. Updated firmware.
    c. Select Print in an application.
    For an extended discussion of what I did see here - some of this may help:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2142906&tstart=60
    Actually, at this point I have two printers connected: Airport Extreme ->USB powered hub ->2 printers. One is the HP1012, the other is an HP 4300 series inkjet. Took sometime to get it right, the first hub I tried apparently was not powered enough. In that vein, one earlier thread (a response to one of my posts) pointed out the possibility that the AE -> printer USB connection might not be adequately powered, and to try using an intermediate hub. Assuming your AE is performing properly in all other respects, don't rule out a cable or other printer connection issue even if the setup was working properly before.

  • Wireless Printing with AirPort Express

    Hi all, I've had an AirPort Express on my network for a while now and have been printing to a Canon LBP2900i laser printer without any problems.
    It seems that since the last firmware upgrade for the AirPort Express was released and installed I receive the error message 'this port type is not supported by your printer' when trying to print.
    It worked fine before so I can't figure out why it should be different now.
    Any ideas?

    I am using Airport Express with an Epson Photo R380 printer. When I use the Gutenprint 5.1.3 driver I get faded black type but I do have a connection to the printer and it prints.
    When I use the Epson driver (and not Gutenprint as the Epson support page suggests not using it to solve the faded print problem) the printer shows up on the Airport Express but nothing happens when I send anything to it to print.
    I've tried reloading the Epson driver etc - nothing seems to work.
    Any suggestions on either how to get regular not faded printing using the Gutenprint driver or any connection at all using the Epson driver?

  • How to setup wireless printing with AirPort Express?

    Hey, I just bought a AirPort Express today and I can't figure out how to setup the usb wireless printing. Could someone explain in detail on how to do this? Thanks-Michael
    I have a Windows 7 64-bit PC and a Hp Deskjet F380 USB printer.

    Download the install Bonjour Print Services for Windows v2.0.2
    Run the program. Hopefully, your printer will be recognized.
    If it is, "install" the printer and try to print.
    Keep in mind that if you have an All-in-One type of device, that only the print function will be supported.
    Advanced features like copy, scan, maintenance, etc are not supported. You will need to connect the All-in-One directly to your PC if you need those services.

  • Wireless printing with airport express/extreme?

    i'm trying to figure out how to use either an express or an extreme (I have both) as a wireless print network of sorts. In the past I hooked up my modem to the extreme along with my printers, and was able to connect wirelessly to my computer; thus, wireless printing. i have since changed to google fiber (including that just in case that's part of the issue), and my modem/router is on a different level of the house than the rest of my computer setup, and i don't think it can be moved. All the solutions i've found require a computer to be directly connected to the modem/express for the initial setup, which isn't possible in this case as i don't have a laptop, just a desktop. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

    It helps if you use specifics.
    Are you talking about a USB printer?
    What is the google modem router??
    How and where do you hope to place the airport and printer? ie will it be plugged into the main router by ethernet?
    There is no problems doing the setup over wireless.. as long as wireless reaches the computer. There is also no problem manually setting up the airport router in total isolation from the network.. once  setup you can place it back into the network.
    Typical method of manual backup.
    Airport Utility shows "unexpected error - please try again" when connecting to Time Capsule

  • Configuring the time capsule airport wlan function as "connect to wlan", the time caspule gets a correct IP adress from the other wlans IP range, but does not assign this to the ethernet ports. With Airport Express it worked!

    Configuring the time capsule airport wlan function as "connect to wlan", the time capsule gets a correct IP adress from the other wlans IP range, but does not assign this to the ethernet ports. With Airport express it worked, the single Ethernet port got the IP Parameters passed through!
    My setup is a Vodafon Esaybox connected to ISP. Time Capsule is not able to extend the wlan of the easybox, neither airport express can do.
    Only the option "connect to wlan" is succesful.
    With airport express I was able to connect my Sony Bravia TV to the lan via ethernet to stream pictures, the TV set got an IP adress from the easybox.
    With the time capsule the easybox dosn't find devices connected to the ethernet ports to submit IP adresses. The TV set get another IP adress (169.xxx.x.x.) in subnet mask 255.255.0.0 and I don not now where from.
    My notebook is a MacBook pro.
    Any idea????
    Thank a lot in advance!
    Kind regards
    Ingo

    Neverthe less, could there be the chance, that this feature could be implemnented with an firmware update?
    That would appear to be a question for Apple to answer. You can make suggestions to Apple here:
    Apple - AirPort Extreme - Feedback
    If the AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule are configured to "extend a wireless network" they will provide additional wireless coverage....and...the Ethernet ports are enabled in this type of setup.
    The "catch" here is that you must have an Apple router providing the network to be extended.

  • How to print with a wireless printer with airport extreme

    how to print with a wireless printer with airport extreme

    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.

    Cisco vpn client..
    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.

  • Airport express not working since today's itunes update

    Since updating iTunes today, Airport Express not working. More specifically, the Airport software will recognise the device exists, but iTunes cannot connect to it, just getting error message.

  • Airport express not working with apple products

    We have been trying to get airport express to work with a macbook pro, ipad2, iphone, laptop, htc wildfire - havent even tried the air music or printer yet! 
    We have a green light on the airport express which is connected to an ntl cable modem(virgin media network).
    Currently the only thing that will connecy is the laptop and my htc phone.  All the apple products will not connect? 
    We went to the apple store today and it worked grand when it was plugged in - the apple products all worked.
    The network comes up on ipad2 but when you press connect it says 'unable to connect'
    can anyone help us please?
    thank you

    I have the same issue.  Mine fixed itself for a bit and now it's broken again.  I'm thinking it's going to be intermittently broken.  I've tried turning both devices off and on again but that did not help.

  • Airport Express not working with Comcast

    I used to have AT&T and had my airport working well. Yesterday i changed to Comcast and my airport is not working the light stays yellow.. I tried resetting it but it didn't work.. I use it with my old Cisco router and its working. Whats wrong with my Airport Express? My computers are Windows 7

    A solid amber light indicates that the AirPort Express has locked up....or it is defective.
    Suggest you that try a Factory Default Reset as follows:
    Pull the Express from power
    Let it rest for a few minutes
    Hold in the reset button and keep holding it for another 8-10 seconds while you plug the Express back in to power
    Release the reset button after the hold period and allow 40-45 seconds to restart
    The Express should display a slow, blinking amber light at this time
    If you continue to see a solid amber light after a few tries with a Factory Default Reset, the Express has failed and it will need to be replaced.

  • AirMac Extreme and Airport Express not working with Netgear N Router?

    I've been using an AirMac Extreme (old model) as a wireless router, and Airport Express for it's airtunes functionality (conected to my Hi-Fi).
    These used to work fine, and both would show up in my Airport Utility on my Macs.
    I've now just upgraded to a 50MG broadband contract, and the engineer gave me a Network router as my old AirMac Extreme couldn't handle that bandwidth.
    When I connected my AirMac Extreme to my Netgear router I then got conflicts, sometimes it wouldn't show up, and it really slowed down my wireless signal. As a result the contractor for my broadband recommended I disconnect my Air Mac Extreme from the router. Speeds went up for the internet, but now I can't get my airtunes to work.
    What I want to know is can I just use my Netgear to transmit the broadband signal so I get maximum internet speeds, but then have my AirMac Extreme and Airport Express connected so that I can still listen to my itunes wirelessly?
    Ideally I'd like this to all be set up so that I could be conected to the internet through the Netgear wirelessly and listen to my itunes through the Airport Express at the same time.
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    I am sorry that I don't have a definitive answer but I also have Windows computers and I have "inherited" some older Apple devices from my son and am trying to learn about them so in addition to searching this group,  I "Googled" "1st generation airport express" and it listed many specific posts in this group - I read them all and they might answer your question - good luck

  • Airport Express not working with Motorola Surfboard Sb6141 and TWC

    My 2012 Airport Express was working fine with my Motorola Surfboard Sb6141 and TWC until about a week ago when the signal started dropping constantly. I hard wired the modem to my computer and everything worked fine. I took the Airport Express to the Genius Bar and it is working fine. I have followed the instructions posted throughout this board to reset the AE to factory settings, then turn everything off for 1/2 hour, turn on just the modem, the the AE 15 minutes later and the computer 15 minutes after that, but to no avail. When I try to set up the AE using Airport Utility, it allows me to assign a name and password, but then the light goes to solid amber and I get "An unexpected error occurred. Try again." Any ideas?

    I'm still struggling trying to get the SB6141 to stay connected with my Airport Extreme but it drops altogether every day or 2 but if you're looking for an alternative, I've heard the Netgear CMD31T works well with the airport.
