Cannot find the printer Laserjet 5100 for Windows 7 driver
I have a HP Laserjet 5100 printer installed on a computer running XP that is on a network without internet access working group. I have a new Windows 7 computer to the same workgroup. I want to print documents created on Windows 7 computer with the Laserjet Printer, but I need to install the printer driver Windows 7 to do this. The drivers of HP support site says the necessary driver is built into Windows 7, but it tells me it's name or I would like to download it. Suggestions on how to find or download the driver or what is called?
Hi micror,.
Drivers for Windows 7 are only available online through Windows Update...
If the specific computer is unable to access the web, you can download the drivers from the Microsoft Update Catalog.
As you the not mentioned your operating system type, you can find the two options below...
If you are not sure of your type of operating system, follow the steps below:
http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c02033168
For the edition of 32-bit operating system, use the first result, 64-bit for the third or the fifth option (that very of your processor type, wrong that does not...)
http://catalog.update.Microsoft.com/v7/site/search.aspx?q=LaserJet%205100
To download the Microsoft driver, first add the required file to the basket.
Then click on view basket and follow the download link...
Because the packet is compressed, you will need to use any archiver program to extract (for example Winrar).
Last but not least, as a printer is installed on Windows XP can not be automatically shared with the new client OS you need to add drivers to manually as follows:
- After you download the right driver to extract it to a temporary folder.
- From the Client (Windows 7) go to printers and devices and click Add a printer.
- Select this option to add a local printer
- From the port selection screen you can create a new port by selecting a Local Port.
- In the port name fill a \\HOSTNAME\Sharename prefix
- To locate the host name of your HOST computer (XP PC), made a right click my computer and select Properties, the hostname will be listed on this screen...
- To locate the name of the share go to printers and faxes, click right-click the printer icon and select Properties... Then, go to the sharing tab and appears the share name.
- Continue add it an assistant of the printer and the driver selection, click on disk... Browse ocntaining pilots the INF folder from your printer.
Good luck

P1102w - cannot find the printer
Hello
I'm unable to print using a wireless connection.
the printer is p1102w.
operating system is MAC OS 10.10 Yosemite
Whenever I try to print something I get "printer is not connected / cannot find the printer" message.
I tried the solutions on your support site, but nothing helped.
For sure, printer is connected to the same network as the computer. I see it on the print configuration page and I can connect to its IP address via a web browser (but I can't use web services).
All software and drivers are up to date. Update Apple is nothing new to me. Niether have your site.
I tried to move the printer closer and further away from router. No results.
No web proxy is related to my network.
To make this work, I have to remove the printer from my system, reinstall it using the USB cable, and then add it again via wi - fi.
But some time the problem reappears.
It's really frustrating. Help, please.
Hi @xopot ,
I see that you have problems printing via wireless network. I would like to help you today.
Since you can access the printer embedded Web server, the printer would have a valid IP address. Most likely, it has something to do with the software that the printer uses.
Fix permissions of the drive on the Mac:
Close all applications.
In the Apple menu, click OK, click Applications, and then click utilities.
Double-click disk utility.
Highlight your hard drive / partition on the left.
Click on check and then repair disk permissions.
Restart the computer...
Reset the printing system:
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer deleted can be re-added later by clicking the sign plus (+) symbol.
Click on the Apple icon and then click on System Preferences.
Click on Printers & Scanners.
Make a right click (or Ctrl + click) in the left white side panel, and then click Reset printing system.
Click OK to confirm the reset.
Type the name and the correct password.
Click OK to reset the printing system.
Then click on the sign to add the driver, highlight the printer +. (you may need to click the drop down menu to select the name of the printer) Then click the Add button.
Configure a static IP address for the printer.
The printer is not found during Installation wireless.
Do not take into account the title. Select the Solution 4: assign your printer a static IP address.
If you need help, let me know.
Have a great day!
Thank you. -

Came across an interesting problem this morning. After starting my PC from various applications (OutLook 2002, Management Studio of SQL Server 2008, etc.). I was able to connect to a server by using Remote Desktop (RDP, alias). On trying to connect to a second system, I started getting the following error message:
The system cannot find the specified file. C:\WINDOWS\system32\
\mstsc.exe.MUI Will always be connected to the server, I tried to launch a second instance using RDP, but received the same error message.
I googled the error and found different solutions (the best solution to examine ishttp://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/itproxpsp/thread/164d1e0b-51e6-4201-9dc2-3f4a0ccb14e5), however, none of the solutions seemed to work.
I tried checking the virus/malware, etc, but nothing was found. I tried to re - load the dll and the exe (s), but still not received the error message.
The next solution was to try to see what can be changed on my system (new programs, etc.). I noticed there is an update downloaded to my system (C:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log): AutomaticUpdates content success install successful and Restart required for the following update: update for Windows XP (KB969084)... the update is related to remote desktop.
I rebooted the system, still not received the RDP error messages. Is I did a complete "install updates and shut down ', and then restarted my system that started working again.
For the record, here is some information on my system:
XP Professional: Version 5.1 (Build 2600.xpsp_sp3_gdr.091208 - 2036: Service Pack 3)
c:\windows\system32\mstsc.exe: 6.1.7600.16385
I wanted to just post this in case someone else runs into a similar problem...
Thank you!
Argue for your limitations and of course they will belong. -Richard Bach, Illusions
I have a machine with the same problem
XP Professional: Version 5.1 (Build 2600
I installed the update for Windows XP (KB969084).
It does not, but a reboot is required because the system is running on the old dll
MSTSC.exe works now
Thanks for the info!

Hello
I get the following message appears when I try to start a remote desktop connection (the shortcut target is % windir%\system32\mstsc.exe).
This used up until one of my pc, including all upgrades of Windows reinstalled.
It is on a Windows 7 pc with all the service packs and updates.
The system cannot find the specified file. C:\WINDOWS\system32\
\mstsc.exe.MUI I have a Dutch version of Windows. The mstsc.exe.MUI file is available in C:\Windows\System32\nl-NL
It was not available in C:\Windows\System32\nl, but after that I copied it on I still get the same message.
I even copied the entire content of the... \nl_NL folder in the... weather folder and still no luck.
Isearched the internet for more solutions but nothing has solved the problem.
Thank you

OK problem solved.
I ran the scan of the updated and all updates already installed.
I checked the list of updates installed and already had KB2592687, KB2574819 installed.
However, when I looked under installed updates, it showed KB2592687 and 3 others in English while I have a Dutch version of Windows.
So I decided to uninstall the updates English 3 so I could reinstall it again.
"Note that after uninstalling these 3, Remote Desktop already worked again.
Apparently, these 3 uninstalling uninstalled a lot more, because after a reboot, there were 10 updates available instead of only 3 that I uninstalled). And after installing them and another restart there was even more updates available. Overall, it took three update sessions and restarts all up-to-date again.
Although the list of installed updates again 3 updates in English, Remote Desktop works now. So obviously something has went wrong with one of the previous sessions of Windows Update.

Cannot find the printer on the wireless network
My new 6500 a 710n-z printer copier copies very well. Also, it detects the wireless network and is given an address 169.254.182.35. I have reset the router several times using the WPS button. But after I installed the software on my netbook ACER Windows XP, the computer cannot find the printer. I spent three days trying to get the $% # ^ & * to work. I see in some documents to get a 169.254. IP address, so I'm probably not connected? But what to do?
Well Yes, a 169.254 IP address... is auto-assignée when he can't get one from the router. The WPS button does not reset the router.
Do this on the printer: Setup > network > Wireless Setup Wizard. Follow the instructions.
