I can't get my Canon pixma mp480 to be seen by my computers when it is connected to airport express. Will it work with airport express?

You may download the software and drivers from here.

as this printer has no WiFi function it cannot print directly to an iPad.
however if you have an airport-express router you can connect the printer there with a USB-cable and use it wirelessly...

Canon Support Drivers PIXMA MP250 AirPort Express 802 11n 2nd Generation Guide to ports and connectors

I am suppose to add the solution here but unfortunately i am here to explain the problem. I got the new Airport Express. I have HP Pavillion and running with Windows Home VISTA. I tried almost here and there everything which is mentioned on forum. But it is not working.Laptop can connect with router but router is not getting connected with Internet. It's always displaying local access only which is killing me. I will try to give one more try to this setup otherwise i need to return this **** and get something else.

Hello,

Yes you can use the PG-510 with PIXMA MP480. The cartridge works also with many other pixma printers.

Best wishes,

Adkinsdave, keep in mind that often having someone remotely connect to your computer with you and perform this task is easier than trying to walk you through steps and potentially missing a step. With that being said, the Airport Express was meant to make setting up a WiFi network in your own home a breeze.
We need to first determine if your Canon PIXMA MX310 has a Mac driver. According to the Downloads page at Canon.com, there are several Mac drivers available for OS X, 10.5 and 10.6: usa.canon.com - simply choose your OS on the pulldown from that website. Once your computer has the driver it needs to communicate with the printer, you can use your Airport Express to connect to the printer.
Obviously, make sure the printer is turned on and once you go through the Airport Express connect guide you should be printing in no time.
Let us know if there are still issues.

I don't know if I understood your problem correctly: you have a Canon Pixma MP480 and you want to install it in a computer with MAC OS and the CD that came with the printer is for Windows systems?

CANON has drivers and software available for your printer and MAC OS X. You can dowload them from PIXMA MP480 Photo All-In-One-Printer support homepage .

On that page, clickon the "Drivers & Downloads" tab and then select your operating system to get a list of compatible drivers, sofware and manuals.
Download the printer and scanner drivers compatible with your system, from "Drivers" section and select and download the software you need from the 'Software section".
For help and troubleshooting installation issues, click on 'Support & Service".
If I misunderstood your post and you have a different problem, please comment and I will try to help more.

Airport Express provides only a print server, not a networked usb hub so it can only print. I'm afraid you'll have to go back to wired for scanning.

I plugged the printer cable directly to my laptop instead of trying to scan using the airport wireless router. Plugging it in did the trick.
Thank you,
Jtoussa
