I have 4 computers on a belkin network. One is the host computer, a Dell Windows XP, one Sony VAIO, and 2 macs. One is iBook, the other is a eMac. 2 Days ago they were all working fine. Myself, on my Sony VAIO, did some keystroking on the router configuration. I fixed the router so all computers have internet. The only problem is that only my printer, Canon PIXMAiP400R, won't accept print submissions from the wireless computers ( VAIO, iBook, eMac). I called APL HELP and they said they do not support my printer and that it would cost 50 dollars for him to troubleshoot with me. I wasn't to ready to start giving away credit card numbers. He also offered that my printer is an "IP" printer. I tried making the iBook send it's print requests to my bridge. The printer would stop all jobs and lock up. Then I sent it to the main router. It said that the "host" was busy and it would try again in 30 seconds. The host was busy for five more minutes, in 30 second incrimates. I called APL HELP again and I got a different guy who said once again they did not support my printer and that I should reinstall my drivers. I am not good with computers but 2 days ago, (using common sense) all four computers were able to surf, print, fax, etc. Now only the host computer can print, but they all have internet access and can surf. Maybe when I keystroked some things, I might have changed a "channel" or something on the main router ( Belkin 5D7321-4P )? So on my fifth or six call to Belkin someone suggested turning printer sharing on. I did that and now the host won't print. Within 72 hours, I lost printing to all 4 computers, lost internet for a short period of time, and regained it. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get my 3 wireless computers to print? (Sony VAIO, eMac, iBook. P.S. The macs have airport cards in them, the VAIO has a build in internet. OS X Version:10.4.5)
