  • Unable to connect to a printer Brother MFC - 240 c to Windows 7 computer network

    The computer of my network which is connected directly to the internet and my router is a computer running Windows Vista (32 bit). My computer is connected through the network to access the internet and the printer connected to the computer base. My computer was also under Vista and networking has worked well.

    I installed Windows 7 (64-bit, not by choice, done automatically) on my computer and now I can't connect to the printer on the Vista machine. I can access the internet (even if it is significantly slower than when I had vista) and on basic computer file sharing, but I can not configure the printer. The printer is a Brother MFC - 240 c
    If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    I'm assuming you get an error indicating that the print driver for 64-bit is not installed in the Vista machine.  You can either install a 64-bit driver that has the same name as the x 86 driver on the Win7 machine printing and reattempt the connection, install the 64-bit driver that has the same name on the Vista computer (for other 64-bit machines), but it's more difficult.

    Alternatively, you can set the machine to check Windows Update for a printer driver that has the same name as the 32-bit print driver.  If gpedit.mcs run for the version of Windows you have.

    Under system, you will see listed Windows 32-bit or 64-bit

    32-bit applications can run on 64-bit systems, but not vice versa

  • How can I configure to print wirelessly on a Mac

    Hi guys,.

    I recently bought the HP Laser jet P1102w.  I took the printer on location work and used for the first time.  It was a process of soimple of the printer and automatically downloaded and installed MAC software.

    As we were out of the office, us were not connected to the wireless network and was therefore not able to configure the printer to the netwrok.

    Now that we're back in the office, I want to set up the printer so that it can be used without wire of all devices connected to the network.

    I can't find how to do on MAC OS X 10.6.8.  I removed the printer from the Print & Scan utility and tried to install it again when you are connected to the network, however I am still only able to print when connected by USB.

    I understand that I can print via the device connected to the network, but rather would set it up to do all together with wireless.

    Please can you point me in the direction to find the instructions for set up?

    Any help is most appreciated.
