Cable network office and scan between computers

My wife and I share a multifunction Canon MP270 printer on our cable network.  I can print my documents on the printer that is connected to his computer.  It is running Microsoft XP Home edition and I have Windows 7 Professional.  I can't get the function scan on the printer to scan documents to files on my computer or as attachments to email.  His computer knows that mine is set for printing, but not scanner.  I need help on the configuration of the network on these two computers for the functions to work.  I have a router that connects them to each other and to the internet.

This isn't a network issue but a scanner.

With the exception of the 'network' scanners that connect directly to a router, many scanners can be shared on a network.  I guess the thinking is to go in person to the scanner to scan the document, what good share?

Sometimes the software provided with the multifunction device will allow scanning over a network, but you must install the software on each machine.  I don't know if the Canon software does this (I don't think) or if it is still available in a version of Windows 7.

As far as I KNOW, there is no native method of Windows XP to share a scanner connected by USB, but there are apparently third-party applications that claim to do: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=xp+share+scanner+over+network

A work-around (even if it is a little annoying) is to set up a shared folder on the XP machine and run the scans it there. You can then access the Win 7 machine files and copy them or attach them to e-mail.

    I found the problem (s), even if I am always left with a few questions.

    During this process, I have disabled the firewall, but that did not help. However, I noticed 'tweaks' accessed via the tab 'Advanced' in 'Microsoft Firewall' which looked like, they must be checked in order to access the internet. I checked these and reintroduced the firewall. After I got things working, I unchecked them and things still worked so I obviously don't understand what these parameters.

    The solution:

    (1) I have to go straight from the modem cable to the computer. I can't have a cable modem, router wireless, computer, even if using hard wire, and even if this same configuration works with another computer. Also, I can't use a cable length to go from modem to the computer. So, it seems to have had a problem of cable length. Power problem? Only connected to this computer devices are the mouse, the keyboard and the Ethernet. Would not this be fixed with an upgrade of the power supply? Or is it due to the quality of the Ethernet hardware on the motherboard? It's a Dell Vostro 200.

    (2) in back and forth between configurations while following the problem, you must think to unplug the modem to reset between each configuration. You may have stumbled upon the solution, otherwise he's not shot. Also, I unplugged the cable from the modem when you reset data cable - do not know if it was necessary. I wanted to limit the degrees of freedom that I had a lot, as it was.

  • LaserJet M1536 printing and scanning Issues (cable network)

    Good,

    So I have a LaserJet M1536 I installed the drivers on my computer to WIndows 7 (64-bit). It worked fine for printing until last night and I can't for the life of me it works again.

    I have the computer plugged into the network, and it worked until I tried to scan a document. It would not work, and then after that nothing would print. The e-print on a mobile device will work but not from my windows machine. I tried to run the doctore scan and it says everything is working.

    I then uninstalled the drivers and I downloaded the latest version of the HP technical support.  Still doesn't solve it.

    After that, I have disabled the firewall on the computer (the windows firewall and the firewall that comes with my suite Norton anti-virus. Still no luck.

    I restarted the printer, my PC, my network (modem and router) several times.

    Is someone can you please help me solve my problem, because it is really holds my productivity and I spend a lot of time on this issue.

    What I am doing wrong? The only thing I have not tried is assign a static IP address to the printer.

    Thanks for letting me know TFroehlichIII.

    What type of router you use, or you use a server like the one mentioned post?

    When you add the printer port, must be a TCP/IP port.

    I have a few other things you can try.

    Power cycle the router, restart the computer, then on the printer.

    Check the IP address, to ensure that it is the same thing.

    Then run the Add Printer Wizard.

    You can always restore your computer to an earlier era where everything was working properly. It could be a Windows Update or a router that has caused this problem.

  • Cable networking computers add wireless internet is equal to the disaster?

    We have a small office with three computers that are connected via a wired connection for the file and printer sharing.   We are in the country, so DSL or Fios or any kind of fast internet is not a possibility.  We have recently added AT & T Wi - Fi which is great, but you must disable the network connection to access the internet and, conversely, to print documents.  Is there a way to tell the wired connection it will be never used for the internet?  Or should we go 100% wireless is not to confuse the system?

    When you say your 'network cable cross' your Linksys router, I guess you mean that each computer has a cable connected to the router and not that there is an Internet connection to the router (i.e., at the back of the router, plug with the yellow label 'Internet' is empty).  It seems, however, that you used to connect to the Internet through the router, and the remains of this configuration are the cause of the confusion.

    I also note that the Linksys E-1000 is a wireless router; I guess you have this part of the router disabled (if not, see pages 19 and 20 of the user manual).

    It seems also that if someone has attempted to address the issue by making your network adapters use static IP addresses (or fixed).  It's a good start, but more needs to be done.

    The fundamental problem is that your Linksys router and the AT & T hotspot have the same local IP address, and each claims that it is the 'default gateway' to the Internet.  Because you use is no longer the Linksys router to do this, you must change several settings.

    The first thing to do is to change the local IP address of the router.  See p. 16 of the User Guide.  You have a choice: you can either have two separate completely local networks (one wired and one wireless) or you can have them on the same network - but in this case, you need to be careful that your affected addresses manually are not incompatible with the IP addresses assigned automatically by the DHCP server in the AT & T hotspot.

    Because you only have 3 computers (and possibly a printer network or 2) and the IP address manually-set from that you have watched seems to be far from the IP address automatically together on the USB adapter, we will stay with a single network, but first do the following research:

    Run the command ipconfig/all on each of your computers and make a list of IP addresses for the connection to the Local network and the wireless network connection.  For the computer that you use to provide the above information, it is information that you need to write:

    Connection to the LAN - IP address...: 192.168.1.149
    Connection network wireless - IP address...: 192.168.1.6

    You will notice that the first three sets of numbers in the two addresses are the same (192.168.1).  That's what I meant by "a network".  The important thing is that the fourth number MUST BE DIFFERENT for each device on the network.

    If your printers are directly connected to the Linksys router and not connected to one of the computers and shared, you also need to know the IP addresses of printers (if you have wireless printers, you need to keep the Linksys Wireless, contrary to what I wrote above).  If you have wireless printers but don't know how to find their IP addresses, post back with the printer brand and model).

    For the sake of discussion, I'll assume 3 wireless network connections and connections to the Local network 3 are 192.168.1.149, 192.168.1.150 and 192.168.1.151 192.168.1.4, 192.168.1.5 and 192.168.1.6.  The real numbers are not critical, as long as there is no overlap.

    Later in the process, explained the s. 16 of the User Guide, change the IP address of the frouter Linksys to 192.168.1.1 to something relatively far from other addresses, for example, 192.168.1.200 (it must be less than 255).

    Now, on each of the computers, follow these steps:

    • Open network connections (start > run > ncpa.cpl > OK)
    • Right-click on the connection to the Local network and select Properties
    • Select "Protocol Internet (TCP/IP)" and click on the properties button
    • In the 'Général' tab, the box 'use the following IP address' is probably already selected.  If this is not the case, check it.
    • If the "use the following IP address" was NOT previously selected, you will need to fill in the boxes.

    The IP address must be the number you copied down earlier (for example, 192.168.1.149).
    The subnet mask should be 255.255.255.0.
    Make sure the "Default gateway" box is empty.  It is important step.

    • Check "Use the following DNS server address."  Leave the boxes blank.
    • OK your way out

    Restart each computer and things should work OK now.

  • Windows Fax and Scan cannot detect Photosmart C4580 all-in-1 scanner connected to the wireless network

    I have no problem printing or scanning when I connect my C4500 to PC via USB.  When connected via my home wireless router I can print OK but can not scan - it's the same for other users and computers.  Windows Fax and Scan gives me the message 'no scanner found. '  I need to work so that all users on my netwrok home can share the scanner.  I use Windows 7 64-bit.

    Thanks Travis_C (HP).  I actually found the solution just before receiving your answer!  I discovered that, although the Solution Center says it would uninstall the existing files before allowing me to reinstall with the latest version downloaded, it didn't remove all the files.  I only discovered this because the new facility has not taken me through the whole fresh installation procedure, he simply asked me what additional features I wanted to install and asked me if I wanted a local printer or network etc.

    I thought that there must be a mistake or problem with whatever existing files were left and the new facility would not correct it.  So I used the control panel to uninstall the existing files, and I made sure that everything was gone.  I then used the last download to reinstall, this time through the new correct installation procedure, and everything now works perfectly.

    With this method I always had a problem on another PC, giving me the same problem I had before.  I realized that this was due to a USB dongle connected to the PC to a wireless keyboard that seems to affect the installation.  When I removed the dongle installation worked again perfectly, and I now have full printing and scanning ability on all PCs.

    I think the installer for this printer wireless (and perhaps others?) should be updated to solve the problem, and also the center of Solution must be fixed to ensure that if you uninstall the software it should not leave anything.

  • Windows 8 "not connected to the network" but it is, shows computers and can connect to the internet. How can I fix it

    I used the Windows 8 Pro Upgrade on a Windoxs XP pro installation.  Everything works except that the network and sharing Center indicates that the computer is not connected to a network, but it is.  I can files in front on other computers on the network (at home) and I can access the internet.  The active profile is public, although it should be private. I created this to access the homegroup during installation.

    I'm trying to get a first HD Homerun operation and if Media Center does not have any network, he sees no tuner either.

    What can I do to get this working properly.

    a. no red X

    1. I tried to download a different driver, but it didn't work at all so cancelled.  To check if it was a pilot, I bought a usb wireless adapter.  I've disabled the ethernet connection and used the wireless connection.  The results are the same regardless of which connection I use.

    2. ran every convenience store without success

    3. services were what they were supposed to be

    4 safe mode is worse.  No network connection (cannot see other computers in all), although internet is accessible

    5 start gives the same results. "You are not connected to a network" yet the computers on the network are visible and accessible top records.  Internet is available.

    I installed the software very little on this computer (just installed Win 8 last week.)

    The only installed software is software HP Officejet L7680, Brother HL5250DN & first Silicon Dust HD Homerun software driver. I'm trying to set up basically as a DVR, so very little will be on it.

    The only thing I can think is that I started with the installation of XP has been implemented using a VPN to connect to our network at work. This means that the computer should be part of the field it. Is it possible victory 8 retrieves these settings and now here's what's causing my problems? (I think that very few came from an installation of XP, but I noticed that some parameters met).

    I plan to start again and re-installed Win 8 a last ditch effort... If you can offer any suggestions on repairing this conditioin, please provide me with the best way to re - install Win 8 as a clean install (without the things I installed). I'll then make sure that the network is working correctly before installing anything.

    *************************************************************************************************************

    A follow-up for this reading. My problem was apparently caused by the upgrade of XP and usinging Dungeon files and SETTINGS. Although there are very limited items brought back an installation of XP, something is buried somewhere off network connections.

    To solve this problem, Windows 8 has a new feature called reset. This essentially Setup all over again if you choose the option to delete files. You must enter the product key again when you do this. This is a clean install.  I had to update the graphics card drivers, add Media Center back, install HD Homerun Prime, run the Advisor of cable, making the TV configuration and finally got it works as I had expected.
