Add a network printer

I'm trying to minimize the huge footprint of the hp software and drivers for my officejet 6500.    Once, I use the hp officejet 6500 for control panel connect to the router... can not just add the printer to each computer using windows (and MAC os) add a Printer Wizard.   I have done so with the printers and servers without any printing problem.   It seems that requires only the most basic method for each pc drivers.

In my view, there is a downloadable HP basic driver, but even what is 25 MB.  Seems a lot just for a driver.   Any suggestions for networking simple and minimal.   I just need the full suite of scan and fax to the main pc.

Thank you the instructions say to select "local printer attached to this computer.  Seems strange when it is respectable printer connected to a router.

  • How to add a network printer?

    How can I add a network printer?

    The printer has a wired connection to a router.  Its local IP address is 192.168.1.105.  The name of the printer is NPI64867B.

    My laptop has a wireless connection to the same router.  Of course, access to the network works fine, since I can submit this announcement.  Also, I can ping the IP address of the printer from the laptop.

    I have in the control panel printers, click Add printer, select "A network printer", select "Browse for printer", then click Next.  The following text is displayed:

    Note that NPI64867B does not appear in the list "shared printers.  Does?

    If I manually enter NPI64867B in the box of the printer and click Next (which should work?), I get the following error:

    If it's important, I have another printer in network configured on the computer.  It's for another domestic network, so it is not connected now.  The name of the printer is NPI6AAA13.  I deselected the option 'Always print to this device, even if its IP address changes', nothing helps.

    The port of the existing network printer name is the name of the printer, HPLaserJet200colorMFPM276nw product.  The printer I am trying to add has the same product name.  Is this a problem?  If so, can I change the name of an arbitrary name (currently unused) pre-existing port?

    Do this way:

    1. Open Printers and faxes
    2. Click on add a printer
    3. Click "Next", select "local printer" and make sure the box "Automatically detect my printer Plug-and-Play" is NOT checked
    4. Click "Next", select "create a new port", then select "Standard TCP/IP port" in the drop-down list (Note - If the printer that you are adding is an HP printer and if the drop-down list includes "HP Standard TCP/IP Port" select that instead; more details later)
    5. Click 'Next' in the standard TCP/IP Printer Port Wizard Welcome screen
    6. For "printer name or IP address" type 192.168.1.105; the "Name of Port" box is filled in automatically, but you can change it to something more useful, like Office LaserJet or a printer room bedroom, etc..
    7. Before you click 'Next', confirm that the printer is turned on
    8. Click 'Finish' to complete her Add Port Wizard and return to the add a Printer Wizard
    9. Select your model and the manufacturer of the printer and the wizard

    A very common problem with the printers on a network that are left at the default setting for automatically an IP address is that they have a different IP address by the DHCP server on the router if the printer is turned off for a period of time.  The Windows printing system does not detect IP address changes, and therefore the communication with the printer is lost.  'HP Standard TCP/IP Port' has the ability to detect the printer, even if its IP address changes.  You should definitely select this option or - and this is the best practice - assign a static IP address for printers all in network.

  • When you add the network printer

    When you add the printer network TCP/IP port option is not in the drop-down list

    The TCP/IP port selection will not be on "Add a network printer" it will be on "add a local printer.  You want to feed the printer directly.  In the printers and Faxes folder, click on 'Add printer' > next.  Select "local printer attached to this computer.  Do not check "automatically detect and install my Plug and Play printer."  Click Next.  Select "Create a new port" and choose "Standatd TCP/IP Port" in the menu drop-down.  Click Next, click Next again (in the "Add Standard TCP/IP Printer Port" Wizard), enter the printer's TCP/IP address, click Next, and then finish.  You return to the add a Printer Wizard.  Select the driver, and then complete the wizard.

  • Add a network printer by using different credentials in Windows Vista Home Premium

    Hello

    I am trying to add a shared network printer (from server) of a computer running Windows Vista Edition Home Premium. The user must authenticate by using different credentials, but I can't find a way to force Vista to connect with different credentials.
    In Windows 7, it's easy, I just add an entry in the credentials manager and everything works, I can connect to the server, access to all of the actions that the user has access to and add the printer.
    In Windows Vista, I can't do that. "" If I try to add a network of credentials in the "stored user names and passwords", I can only add a "a Web site or program identification information. "A credential to Windows logon" is greyed out.
    When I try to access the share in Windows Explorer, I get an access denied. Instead of having Windows pop up a dialog to authenticate, he tries just to the help of the currently connected user credentails, which isn't what I want.
    If I try to add the printer using the Add Printer Wizard-> add a network printer, when I enter the path to the printer, I also have an access denied instead of bring up a Windows authentication dialog box.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!
    Thank you!

  • Cannot add a network printer

    I have a problem with the printer! I have a network printer connected to my router via ethernet. I use the printer via wifi of two macbooks.

    I got an error 'printer not connected' and have already tried the following several times:

    • reset the router
    • restarted the printer
    • Reset my printing system
    • renamed the folder library/printers
    • reinstalled my driver of Canon software
    • fact a boot secured my MacBook, then a normal departure

    When I try to add the printer again (of course it was removed by rebooting) I don't see anything via Bonjour (in the default tab). The printer has a valid address (via DHCP) and I can ping to my macbook. I also tried to add the printer through the address IP (IPP) - it does not print.

    I get all printing stations I can find no joy... help please!

    Peter

    This morning, I tried to add a printer, and - as the magic - my printer appears in the window by default. Quickly, I added, print a test page, and then other PDF via Preview. Awesome! Then I tried to print a poster with Acrobat Reader, and I'm back for the message "printer not connected" that marked the beginning of my problems a week ago. Again, I have reset the printing system, even reinstalled two versions (more recent and earlier) drivers. I can ping the printer, but cannot add via IP either.

    I searched more problems and solutions print, but in vain.

    Help, please!

  • Failed to add the network printer

    Hello

    We have a client that connects to our ERP system to print orders.  They connect through a VPN site-to-site and then access our system through an RDP connection to a server 2008R2 instance.  The printer is a HP LaserJet 4100tn

    When I first set up in the spring I was intending to use the easy print with the redirect to printer driver to print orders.  However exceptionally slowly printed orders and I was not able to determine why.  Instead I've implemented their LaserJet as a local printer on our desktop server remotely using a HP LaserJet 4100 Series PCL6 driver.  It worked perfectly, and they have been printing without problem until yesterday.

    Yesterday for some reason any printer stopped working.  On our Remote Desktop server, it appeared as grayed out with an exclamation mark above.  I did the following diagnosis:

    > They can print from their own local office it
    > They changed and turn it on again
    > I can ping the printer from our server OK
    > I can get on the web interface of the printer OK from our server
    > Restart our server remote desktop
    > Turn off the Windows Firewall on the Remote Desktop server

    I therefore decided to remove the printer and add it again.  I go through the configuration wizard Windows printer usual choosing to do a new TCP/IP port, but when I put the IP address of the printer in Windows says that it is not the printer on the network (photo attached).

    I tried to delete the printer port which has been associated with this printer and remove the driver but Windows still won't "see" the printer.

    I am able to configure this printer on other servers from RD (2003 and 2008) and I also tried setting up on an old XP box, I had to hang out without problem.  Curiously, it seems only that this server is the only one that I can not set up the new even if it can ping the printer OK.

    I found a troubleshooting printer HP hereWeb page but who was no help, and the software does not work on Windows Server versions.

    Don't know what to do next!

    This was solved by changing the IP address of the printer

    After changing the IP address, I was able to add the printer to the server OK.

    I wasn't able to find out why this is the case, but guess it is some incorrect IP or the information stored in the registry.

  • The password is required to add a network printer?

    Hello

    I am trying to set up a printer on our work network. I am running windows xp pro as well as other users using xp and windows 7. I have a HP Laserjet 1018 connected to my PC via USB and it prints well. The problem occurs when users try to add this printer to their PC. I put the same WORKING Group on all PCs. I enabled "use simple file sharing" in the Panel.  Users with windows 7 do not detect even the printer. Users with windows xp detects the printer, but when trying to add, a password is requested. I don't know what password it refers. We have a 2nd printer connected to another PC users and which works very well on the network.
    I read tutorials but can't seem to find what is the question. Please point me in the right direction to get this updated printer in place on our network.
    Thanks for the help

    Thanks for the info. I managed to finally solve my problem. As I said, I did have a password administrator has access to my PC, but all other PCs asks for a password when you try to add the printer connected to my PC.

    I decided to give a password to my account and curiously, it worked after that. Other users could add my printer without hassle.
  • When I try to add a network printer to my laptop I get the error: Windows cannot connect to the printer. Operation can not be completed (error 0 x 00000006).

  • Add an HP network printer and receive error 0x000005b3

    Hi all
    a user has a windows 7 Enterprise and this machine is joined to a domain. I tried to add a universal printing PS (v5.2) HP printer which is a network printer and it gives me error 0x000005b3.

    What I've done so far?
    -Removal of all existing printers
    -Install the driver manually.
    -tried to add this printer to the title of local administrator rights.
    -tried the administrator account.
    -Windows is up to date and there are no missing drivers.
    D ' other people use this printer without problem. This user is having only one problem.
    -This user is able to add / print on other printers with no pain!

    The weird part is when Windows tries to add the network printer. so it means printer is known for windows and OS trying to get the driver for Windows 2008 R2 Print Server. The wizard detects the printer and starts to download the printer driver. Then he said: "Windows cannot connect to the printer."
    Once again:
    PCs: Dell 980
    OS: Windows 7 Enterprise
    Printer: printing universal hp PS (version 5.2)
    Server: Windows 2008 R2

    All comment or suggestion appropriates it.

    Hello Almirzaee,

  • Re: Error Message When you try to print to a network printer

    I just bought the new laptop, and when I try to print to a network printer (one that I always printed at front), I get a message: "The Active Directory Domain Services is currently unavailable" - I can't add a network printer at all! Help!

    Is there a setting I need to change to be able to add network printers?

    I think you should contact your local administrator and let him install this network printer. He knows how to install the correct driver and how to find the location of the printer.

  • Error adding network printer

    I created, deleted and created again, a printer in network in Server 2008 Standard.  I shared out and I am able to see the printer in the list when you add a network printer using a XP 32 bit workstation.  When I try to add the printer from a workstation, I get the following error.

    "Unable to connect to the printer. the name of the printer has been correctly entered, or the specified printer has lost the connection to the server.

    I ping the IP so I know it's good.  Part of my troubleshooting was to open Printers and faxes, open the file menu, click Server properties, click the tab drivers to remove the 1815dn printer driver that existed.  Then, I rebooted the PC and tried to add to the printer queue new but still the same error.

    I am also able to send a test print from the server to the printer.

    I also opened the properties of the printer on the server and selected Advanced tab drivers and ensured that x 86 has been selected. Any suggestions?

  • I'm not able to add a shared printer on a Windows XP client computer.

    original title: network printers

    I'm not able to add a shared printer on a Windows XP client. One, printers

    Canon MP830 and an Okidata 320 are installed locally on a Windows 2003 Print

    Server. Both are on the same domain. I also have Windows XP, 7, Vista and Linux

    machines on the same network. They are all able to print. The only one who does

    not working is a Windows XP client. This machine has also win 7, Vista installed

    on different hard drives. they are able to print to shared printers. I have

    cammot access to a printer by using the UNC path. I can see the shared

    printers in Favorites network but I can not connect. If I use the add printer

    Wizard to add a network printer, the printer appear in the book: but

    Yet once, they will not connect the error message I get is:

    "Unable to add the printer connection. Either the typed wsa printer name

    incorrctly, or the specified printer has lost its connection to the server. »

    I checked the permissions for the priners and I am logged in as one

    administrator when I try to add the printer. I also checked the group policy and

    everything seems to be oK. I also deleted and added the printer to the

    Server, that I managed to install them as local printers on the affected XP machine

    using the \\server_name\printer_share_name port. The priner name and the
