Airport Express Printing Problems!

Hi there,

Make sure that you have cleared the print queue on all machines connected to this printer. Sometimes that clears it up for me.

Good luck.

I am having the same problem after doing a fresh install on my MacBook. problem with the scanner (from Preview) and now I have the same response as you. No problem printing directly connected - and no problem printing from my mac mini via airport express - use 10.4.

There was no problem previously before the upgrade 10.5.2

I am having the same problem. After upgrading to OS 10.5, the Samsung printer stopped working when used via Airport. During printer setup it seems to communicate fine with the computer, recognizes the printer model and such. After sending a page to print the printer blinks very promisingly. But the page never comes out.
I tried configuration as Bonjour printer, as IP printer, with the original driver, several others, generic drivers, Gutenprint drivers... no luck.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Same Problem here.

I followed the general troubleshooting tips, shutdown the 2010 and the extreme base station. Printer back on and base station and reinstalled printer. Took forever to find the drivers again.

I have just finished printing page 2 of a 3 page document but about 8 or 9 minutes elapse before the next page comes out. p.s just tried to print page one again. 11 minutes later an error message printed from the samsung. "Incomplete Session by time out"

Dto, same problem. After upgrading to OS 10.5.2 the Samsung SCX-4200 printer stopped working when used via Time Capsule ( what is like Airport Extreme ). During printer setup communication is fine with the computer, recognizes the printer model and so on. After sending print order to printer the printer blinks as it would work but print job stops at or around 12 %. After two minutes or so the printer puts out a page with the following error code:

Internal Error - False
Position Oxc1a02 (793090)
System H6FW/xl_image
Line 495
Version QPDL 1.40 11-14-2005

Anyone knows what that means? I have tried everything and have the newest driver. Printer worked fine for two years until I upgraded to 10.5.2 This *****..

For those folks out there who have the same printer and have no problems with 10.5.2. please provide screenshots of of airport extreme / Time Capsule settings. Maybe that helps.

I have an Airport Extreme and two Airport Expresses, one for extending the network range and the other to connect the printer (HP7700). The network (internet) is working fine but the printer is not. Should I create a separate network for the printer and its Aiport Express or I can make it join my current network?
Thanks!

I'm having the same issue with my Samsung ML-1740 Laser printer. I can't say for sure that it's 10.5.1 or 10.5.2 but I can say that this has worked well for the last two years.

Same issue on my Powerbook G4 and my wife's MacBook. We're both on 10.5.2

If anyone has some success, please be sure to post here.

I have exactly the same problem. I just purchased Time Capsule BECAUSE I wanted to create a wireless printing environ, but when I connected my Samsung SCX 4200, it won't work. I reinstalled drivers, tried various options and nothing. The computer communicates fine with the printer, but then it hangs on 4% or so and finally the printer prints out Time Out or Internal Printing Error page. No fixes yet.

I have the same problem.

I had a Airport Extreme working with my Samsung then I returned the Airport for the upcoming Time Capsule.
I then upgraded to 10.5.2 and got a Time Capsule shortly after.

My Vista machine can print to the Samsung fine, but the Mac can't. My printer just blinks and never prints. I tried to look on Samsung for OSX drivers, but I couldn't find any.

I just downloaded the latest upgrade to Airport Utility (5.3) posted on Apple March 11 (today) with a hope that this would fix the problem, but unfortunately it didn't. My Samsung SCX4200 still just hangs when showing printing 4% and then after a few minutes the printer just spitts out internal error page or timeout page.

I am not sure that the Leopard issue. As others reported, I also have no problem printing on either SCX4200 or HP1020 directly; problem is with the time capsule and it software. Did anybody try to contact Apple about this?? Looks like there is a bunch of us having exactly the same problem without any solution in sight!

I seem to be having the same problem and the upgrade to the Airport Utility I installed today did not help either. It seems that the Samsung printers are mostly affected. Does the problem have anything to do with de Printer brand? Hopefully Apple releases a solution to the problem soon.

Ditto everything above. The printer connected through my airport extreme won't print from my imac with 5.2 installed, but it will print from my powerbook with 4.(whatever the latest version) through bonjour or when directly connected to the printer. I haven't yet lugged teh printer over to the imac to see if works directly and apple tech support is always closed when I'm able to actually sit at my computer to try and resolve things.

It's not only samsung; I have also HP 1020 which causes exactly the same problem 😟

After installing the new Airport Extreme driver released yesterday (3-12) I was hoping this would go away. It still will not get thru a print of a 5 mega pixel image file. Gets about 3/4 printed and just stops and the light blinks and the driver says that it is printing. I let it set that way for an hour.

If I plug the printer back into the Macbook it prints just fine.
