Вопрос: Как добавить принтер к Time Capsule?

This worked for me (windows 10 to 1st gen airport express) I just had to put a different IP address in which I took from the airport utility information on my MacBook. Bounjour didn’t work. Thanks to the poster, a big help.

after dnloading and running set up on my mg3600 printer via usb and printing a test page, I unplugged the usb and tried to connect wps printer via basestation on my airport express and it cant be found.

Я может что то не понял, но ты сказал что у тебя канал 100Мб. Т.е. провайдер тебе предоставляет 100Мб. Но тесты выдают по 38Мб… Округлим до 40Мб… Где остальные 60Мб???

Я так понимаю капсула не пропускает 100Мб?

Followed your instructions but nothing happened when I clicked the First Attempt button. The printer says it’s connected to the AirPort Extreme, but the router isn’t finding it. How can I find the PIN to enter in the top option? Where is that information for my printer? Thanks. Also, I can print using the USB connector but I want to print wirelessly.

This video worked for me when I was using Windows 7. When I upgraded to Windows 10, I had to utilize a different solution. Specs: Windows 10 installed on laptop and desktop PC. Brother Laser Printer (HL-2280DW). Drivers for said printer downloaded and installed to both machines prior to this fix.

My solution for Windows 10.x:
1) Setup Brother Printer to connect wireless to Apple Router. For my printer, it was as simple as: Menu->Network->WLAN Wizard->Locate Wireless network (host name/SSID)->Enter password for network… Conected!
2) Laptop (connected via WiFi to same SSID I connected printer to) immediately detected printer after letting computer detect network printers for a minute. Voila: Brother HL2280DW(bbxx1rt000893) <-or something like that... selected it and installed. Test print...perfect.
3) Problem came when I tried to setup my desktop connected to router via Ethernet. Although WiFi was ON and connected to same host name/SSID as laptop and printer, printer refused to show up on available printers. As soon as I disconnected the Ethernet, the printer popped up (just like the laptop) and I was able to connect. I took it a step further and turned off the desktop WiFi and plugged my Ethernet cable back in, and sure enough, the printer was still connected and functioning. When I opened up the control panel for the printer and examined it’s properties, I learned that the port being used was the WSD port, rather than TCP/IP as suggested in this video.

Key take-away:
1. Ensure you’re setting up your printer as the ADMIN for the computer.
2. Ensure when trying to connect to a wireless discover-able printer that you are using your wireless ONLY (pull the plug on your Ethernet).
3. Setup a WSD port connection if all else fails. I was able to find numerous websites that offered solutions to connecting a laptop/desktop via WiFi/Ethernet to a wireless local area network printer (WLAN printer) after searching for solutions involving this particular port.

We just bought an Airport Extreme and our Brother printer will not connect any longer. Tried this method and it seems to just be stuck searching for «WPS Printer» What could be the problem? Going crazy for 2 days now. UGH

Great instructions, but if your PC is hardwired to the Airport Extreme and/or you are using it as a WiFi extender, it probably WON’T be the default gateway. The Airport Extreme will likely pull it’s own IP address, and you will have to use that.

You can get the IP address from the Airport Utility as Chris Volnek stated.

Finally I got this working. Two little problem though, I have to delete the print job task every time or else i’m not able to print a 2nd task and also It continues to print the same document every 1 min..  any advice? Thank you

Hello, I used this method a few months ago and it worked like a charm. Thank you!   Unfortunately, my computer crashed last month and now upgraded to windows 8.1 and neither this method nor bonjour works, anyone have any suggestions?  Much appreciated.

Всем привет! Капсула не бэкапит после подключения к новому провайдеру. Как точка подключения работает и в телефоне показывает зеленым и капсулу и интернет. Мак не делает копии по графику и не создает резервные копии в ручную.

Здравствуйте, а можно на эту капсулу настроить автоматическое резервное копирование со всех телефонов и макбуков в семье.? Именно на неё а не в Айклауд который денег стоит???
Есть ещё у нас NAS Synology но что-то там тяжело с настройками. Мак вроде видит, а с телефонами совсем туго, все на Айклауд идёт. Я так понимаю с капсулой должно все работать без танцев с бубном, так сказать и для тупых))))

Great video. This worked great for my new mac laptop, Yosemite. I was ready to print within minutes. That said, I can’t get my older iMac to recognize my Airport Base station – version 10.6.8. I’ve had to run a printer cable to it since we moved to a new house/new internet service/router attached a few years ago. Any way to reconfigure this without messing up our wifi? Thanks;)

Жалко что нет продолжения, озвученные темы в ролике очень актуальны и интересны, так как хочу настроить капсулу с 10 ТБ диском что бы все в доме имели к нему доступ и по возможности удаленный доступ тоже, если есть возможность как то описать как это все сделать буду благодарен

I am trying to hook up a new printer to my mac air. I currently have a time capsule but I am moving and trying to set up the new printer with my laptop and my friends laptop in a new apartment without a time capsule. Is the time capsule necessary to set up the printer to my mac air wirelessly?

Very helpful!  I had changed the my router network password and my Brother printer no longer was connected.  I only needed to change the password since it was set up before.  There seemed to be no easy way to do that other than with a cable.  I didn’t even know that there was a WPS.  Great Video.  This combined with my network user guide pdf made it all work!  
One extra step though.  If the printer is already in the System Utilities Printer list, I think that it needs to be deleted before adding it again.  The first time I tried it, I did the «add WPS» then tried to add the printer in system utilities, but it was already there, so I deleted the old one.  I couldn’t find the new one after deleting the old one.  When I tried the whole process a second time everything worked well, I think because I had deleted the old Brother printer set up before I started the second time.  My network user manual for the printer showed me how to get the printer to generate a PIN code which made it very easy.  The automatic setup wasn’t working the first time because I needed to know how to get the printer into a search mode which was described in the Network User Guide.
Simple and easy Video.  Thanks again.

Привет, ВИЛСА.
Подскажи пожалуйста, можно ли объединить 4 AirPort Time Capsule в один общий диск?
НАПРИМЕР у меня 4 AirPort Time Capsule по 3 TB и я хочу чтобы я с MacBook в Finder заходил на один диск в котором было 12 TB памяти.
Напиши пожалуйста ответ, как ты думаешь.
Спасибо!

I followed your instructions. On my printer (Canon MX860) under the ‘WLAN setting list’ I see my network name and the connection is ‘active.’ But on my computer (Mac running 10.) the printer is shown as ‘offline.’ Any suggestions?

well, the first time, this worked. But HELP! I unplugged the printer, went to set it up again using the add wps, but this time, there is no selection for add wps printer. This time the only selection I have under base station is allow WAN setup, which I clicked and nothing. No printer connection.:(

After screwing around trying to get my printer hooked up to my new Airport Extreme, I found your video. After watching, I was up and printing in about 5 minutes. You’re right! It WAS incredibly easy to set up. Thanks for this…
