Lastly, by clicking on the + button below the printers pane in the Printopia window, you can add another virtual destination, such as a specific folder on your Mac or even Dropbox, or an application such as iPhoto. If you don't see you printer listed, make sure Printer Sharing is turned on. Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan and click the Sharing Preferences button. On the next window, make sure Printer Sharing is checked. Also, for your chosen printer, make sure to check the box for "Share this printer on the network" on the Print & Scan page.Īlthough $20 might be too much to spend for the occasional print from your iDevice, if you wield your iPad or iPhone as a business tool, then it might be worth it. You could also try the AirPrint Activator, which asks only for a donation. For Windows users, there's FingerPrint, and you can always try printing from your iPad using Google Docs.You may have issues doing what I have suggested above. It will depend on your network components and configuration. NOTE: If you have a desktop computer with ethernet.
it is much much easier to do with ethernet to the Extreme LAN port as well as ethernet from Extreme WAN port to the Xfinity. Setting up over wifi when you are using a 3rd party wifi network is a nightmare.
My setup is an Asus main wireless router with wifi network consisting of a number of routers including other Apple routers.
#Printopia pro how to
Either Xfinity router itself or a node.ģ/ Open the airport utility and click on Other Wi-Fi Devices (1) and select the Airport but I have turned the Apple ones off to show you how to do this.Ģ/ Cable the WAN of the Airport to LAN port somewhere in your network. Go to the wireless fan in the top menu and select the new AirPort Extreme.Ĥ/ When the Airport Utility finds the Airport it will make several checks of the system trying to figure out how to setup. but in a purely 3rd party configuration it should setup to create a network. Go ahead with this and we can fix remainder of issues via editing. I'm using a gen5 but setup is identical on any model Extreme.īy default it will select your user name. it is messy and will likely work poorly with the Xfinity. Use short names no spaces and pure alphanumerics. Use different wifi name to your xfinity for now.

Password also pure alphanumerics but can be longer. I have found more than half the unexpected errors are solved this way. Post back if it still shows an error and a second attempt gets the same results.
We have a happy Extreme but we want to fix a couple of things.Ĭlick the icon of the Extreme in Airport utility then click the edit in summary popup.Ħ/ In the internet tab fix the IP address to static. You will also need to type in a DNS address. It can be same as the Router address above it. Or you can use an Internet address like google public, 8.8.8.8 for your system that will be different to mine. It is not used by the network so is purely to keep the Airport configuration happy. Keep a record of the static IP address you set on the Extreme as it may well be useful later.ħ/ Turn off wireless in the wireless tab.Ĩ/ Make sure the Network tab Is set to Bridge mode. you will get a happy Airport on the network. If the green light is showing on the Extreme. power off airport utility again and restart it. Make sure the wifi on the computer is linked directly to the wifi of the Extreme.
