I've bought a Brother DCP-7070DW printer. I want to hook this one up via WiFi using my Airport Express. When i'm searching for the SSID, my printer can't find anything. How can my printer find my Airport Express via WiFi?
AirPort Express 802.11n (1st Gen), Mac OS X (10.7.4)
You'll have to check with the manufactuer fo the printer (Brother).
Or....
You can simply plug the printer into your express, then add the printer in your system preferences. No need for any complex WiFi procedures that way.
I'm checking with Brother at the moment how the printer can find my SSID...Th distance between my aiport express and printer is just 2 meters, so that shouldn't be the problem.
The SSID is just the name i gave to my airport express right?
There seems to be a problem when i try to plug in my printer into my express... I'm using two cables; one cable that goes into the printer, and the other one is to extend the cable and is plugged in the Airport Express... My Airport Express can't recognize the printer. I've tried this with different cables.
So that's why i'm trying to use my printer on wifi
No! The SSID is the name of the WiFi network, not your express.
When you plugged into your express, did you go to System Preferences and try to add your printer?
I did... But it wasn't working.
After removed my Airport Express and pressed the small button a few times (shortly) and put it back in my contact it worked all of a sudden😝My printer recognized my Airport Express instantly. I entered the password and i was good to go...
Thnx guys
How can i hook my Brother DCP-7070DW via WiFi on my Airport Express?
