My current setup is an AirPort express with a PIXMA iP8500, if I grabbed a LaserJet 1020, could I plug a USB hub in the AirPort Express, and network them both at once?

Upgrade to Yosemite 10.10.1 caused my Canon Pixma ip8500 printer to stop working. Canon no longer supporting this printer.
Info:
iMac with Retina 5K display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)
Brand new iMac (my first one), sitting next to my Sony XP computer. I have a wireless network and have been able to share files between the two computers. I have all of my work information on my PC and am wanting to print to my new Canon Pixma printer which is connected to the MAC. I can "see" the printer when I go to printing preferences on my PC but when I hit print, I get an error message that says the printer if offline. I have all sharing enabled on both computers and when I go into the print queue, there is a document that is in there that it won't allow me to delete because it was "sent" by the owner "Valerie"....not sure if that is part of it or not. I guess my first question is, can I print over my wireless network through my MAC to the Canon and if I can, any idea what could be impeding me from printing?
View 3 Replies View RelatedOur wireless router (some standard linksys one) is downstairs. Wireless is mostly used down there so need strongest signal. Then it's plugged into an ethernet point, which goes up to the loft in a box, where it feeds into a 16-port switch, then back out to ethernet points in each room of the house. (recently renovated the house and ran Cat-5e everywhere.)Currently I have to connect via the ethernet point in my room with a network cable as I can't pick up the wireless signal. Which sucks a bit, being tied down when on a macbook pro.Could I just plug an Airport Express into the ethernet point in my room and set it up as a second wireless point, which I can use in my room? Or is that not what it's for?

I've recently acquired an old HP LaserJet 6P printer. I've successfully connected it to my MacBook (10.5.8) using a Parallel-USB Converter Cable and Gimp-Print drivers - it doesn't have a built-in USB port. What I'd like to do now is connect the LaserJet to my Airport Express to allow me to print wirelessly. Has anyone done something similar to this before? Has it worked? I'd like to get advice first so I don't end up wasting hours and banging my head off a wall trying to get this to work.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI got a new MBP this week and Leopard and install went fine. Anyway, now I am trying to hook up my old printer (an HP Laserjet 1020). I saw on other sites that you could do this with the 1022 Driver - which is a pack for the whole 1020 series. It worked for people on the site, but, of course, they were running Tiger (or earlier). I wondered if anyone has tried doing this with Leopard and if you have any tips for doing this that would be great. Oh, and I know the easiest way to take care of this is just to buy a new printer ... but I really don't have the money right now.
View 21 Replies View RelatedMy Laserjet 1020 worked perfectly with a downloaded driver on the MAC OS X but since installing the Snow Leopard it is a no go. Anyone with an idea to make it work would be appreciated. "Plug in your printer, and Snow Leopard makes sure you have the most up-to-date printer driver. If not, it downloads the newest version."....seems to be a mis-statement of facts.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just bought a HP Color Laserjet CP 1215 to use with my Macbook. Amazon didn't have any information about compatibility and I just assumed it would work (a mistake, obviously). I was ready to return it but a friend of mine pointed out that it might work with Airport Express. I have Airport Express and it would be great if it would work. I don't know why it would though. If anyone knows anything about this, please lemme know. Also, if anyone knows any other way (except for downloading windows on my mac) that I can make my printer work.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI can get this printer at a really good deal but it seems it isn't officially Mac compatible. Has anyone been able to make it work with another driver? In particular, I'm planning on connecting it to a Windows XP Dell PC and then be able to print it on the network.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have an Airport Extreme Base Station set up that is connected to my modem. I purchased a new Airport Express that I have used to extend my network. I plugged my Canon MF8050cn printer into the USB port of the airport express. I've added the printer successfully, but when I try printing to the Canon via wifi, I get this error: Â
"Canon CMFP Printer Driver; Printer is not responding.Check the printer power and connection, and then try sending printing job again." Printer power is on and connected correctly. As a side note, I am able to print to the printer successfully when I plug the printer into my macbook air directly via USB. So I have two printers added, "Canon - USB" and "Canon - Wifi". The latter is the one that gives me the error. I purchased the airport express so I could print wirelessly as I'm unable to move my printer closer to the Base Station.Â

I've recently come back to apple mac's, however before my new G4 ibook, i had a few pc's set up on a network, i've still got them and i want to add my ibook to the network, i've got most of it working, however my laserjet 4M plus which has a print server installed in it, which works perfectly with the pc's doesn't want to work with my new ibook. My ibook is connected via airport to a linksys access point, and that to the router, which in the connected to the laserjet. I can Ping the router and it all seems fine, but getting it to print just isn't happening.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an Airport Extreme, with two USB hard drives connected to it. The Airport Extreme shares these disks to my wireless network via Airport Disks.
Upstairs I have an Airport Express, that wirelessly connects to my Airport Extreme downstairs, and extends the wireless network so I get a good wireless reception upstairs.
My problem is, that it does not seem like me Airport Express does a good job of forwarding my 2 USB Airport Disks to the extended wireless network upstairs.
For example, when I use the AirVideo iPhone app to stream video from my USB Airport Disks I get a server connection error when I go upstairs and the iPad/iPhone switches to the Airport Express networks. I cannot reconnect as long as it is on the Airport Express network. If I turn the airport Express off, and thus switch to the poor wireless reception from the Airport Extreme, I can connect to the USB Airport disks again.
The Airport Express is connected to the Airport Extreme in bridged mode.
I have a slow network issue. I'll try to make it as simple as possible.
1 MacBook Pro
1 Airport Extreme
1 Airport Express to Extend the Network
The network to my living room was slow, so I added the Express to extend the network. When connected through the Express, with a Time Machine backup, I'm getting about 500K/sec transfer speeds. When I move the laptop away from the Express and close to the Extreme, the network works much faster, about 5MB/sec. I don't understand why the network is so much slower when using the Airport Express as a network extender. Is the speed difference normally that much? If it's not supposed to be, is there anything I can do?
I recently purchased a brand new iP4500 and afer installing the latest drivers and setting up everything I cannot print..
The test prints come out OK (thus, the printer connection is good and working). Tried evrything, even tried printing from the root user. I spent 45 minutes with Canon Tech Support and they basically said "There's a problem with your system not spooling properly, and there's nothing else we can do from here, go to Apple"
Now here's the deal, I have two iMacs (one g5, one Intel, both with 10.5.6 but otherwise differently configurated) And I get the same error in BOTH.
Is there anything I could be doing wrong?
Can I have any suggestions to get this going?
I was looking to buy a printer. I already have a Epson Perfection Scanner ( its not the best but does the job)
Canon Pixma MX850 Office All-In-One Printer (2436B002) apparently is listed in Mac World as one of the top products in their most recent issue. I was hoping some real world people may advise me on whether its a good purchase. If you have one or know someone who does or know of a better printer post a reply.
I'm not looking to spend more than $200 on a printer. I'm also a designer so I'm looking for one that prints graphic design work decently. I have an old G5 tower and my new 13" white mackbook that I want it to work with too.
I got a this printer from the free printer with new mac special and bought a class 1 bluetooth dongle from ebay.I connected it to the printer and opened the bluetooth set-up assistant and it recognized it by its name and model number. I set it up and everything appeared to be working normally but when i try to print i get the 306 error. does anyone know what to do?

Trying to scan a sheet to my MacBook Air running Lion, but whenever I open the scanner from the System Preferences, it just stays like this and nothing happens. Reading around, it appears that you can't use the MX350 scanner over WiFi using Lion. It works perfectly on my iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 but unfortunately I can't use that right now.
I've tried inserting a USB stick formatted with Mac OS (Journaled) and it doesn't want to do anything, I've tried installing multiple scanner drivers from the Canon website, I've also tried to do a software update. I'm running Mac OSX Lion 10.7.4 and have a Netgear router supplied by Virgin Media. It prints perfectly fine from the MacBook Air.

so I bought a super awesome easy to use ink refill kit for my Canon Pixma MP150. The cartridge refilled fine, but the printer is being cranky and won't let me print because it still thinks the ink is low.
As some of you may know, most printers monitor your ink level, but they usually simply estimate the remaining ink based on how much ink the printer things it has used up in printing. It has no idea how much ink is actually left in the tank... and will still think it's low if you refill the cartridge.
My printer, however, doesn't let me print now that it thinks my refilled cartridge is low.
According to canon's website, i'm SUPPOSED to get an error message on my screen asking if I want to continue printing anyway... but I don't, and their support hasn't been very helpful.
I don't get ANY error message at all. The Printer Setup Utility simply stops all print jobs for that printer without any explanation. I've figured out through experience in the past that this is always solved by replacing a low ink cartridge. It's a pretty stupid system cause it doesn't even tell me that's why it won't print... but every time I try to resume the print jobs it immediately stops them again.
Do you guys have any tips on how I can turn off the ink level monitor on the printer, or on how I can force it to print anyway.
Do you guys think that maybe Gimp-Print drivers would let me bypass the ink monitoring? If I do that, then will gimp-print still give me full control over the printer (i.e. will I still be able to clean the nozzles and stuff using gimp-print drivers?)
OK so i currently bought a brand new 24" imac and am trying to print from my MP610.The printer is running off a wireless network and i have no trouble finding or connecting to it.I downloaded the most recent drivers from the canon website,( 6.9.3) and installed them. However the problem is i cant seem to find them anywhere in the computer. The driver does not show up in the selected driver list, and i can't see to find it manually either.

I'm in need a of a new printer, I have the discontinued kodak 1400 dye-sub printer which I'm looking to replace. Long story short, I'm down to two printers:The HP 8850 and the Canon pro9000 (the older model or the MKII)I've heard complaints of HP's drivers/quality/tech support lately but in the past I've been a satisfied customer. I never owned/used a canon so I have nothing to judge them on.So, I'm fishing for advice, in general on HP vs. Canon (especially for the mac related drivers/support) and specifically if anyone has any advice or insight on either of these two printers.
I have just set up a Canon Pixma MP620 to work wirelessly over wifi on my network. The printer works fine when it is right next to the router (a Netgear). However, when I move the printer to another room away from the router, the signal strength goes to nothing/unstable and I cannot print wirelessly. My MacBook retains full wifi signal strength in this same room so the router coverage would appear to be okay.
Is there anyone using this printer over wifi where the printer is in a different room to the access point/router? Is there something wrong with my printer?
My macbook pro is no longer recognizing the scanning function of my Canon pixma 860. It comes up as a printer, but not a scanner. I have the latest software updates installed?
