• How do I share my printer between my two systems of Windows 7?

  Some users find that they have a printer that is not connected to the network that worked well in a mixed Windows environment, but their two printers on Windows 7 (a host and a client) are not able to share the printer.

  Windows 7 manages networks differently than previous versions of Windows.

  The best way to start with sharing printers between several Windows 7 computers is to set up a homegroup.  A homegroup is a way to allow different Windows 7 computers communicate with each other and share resources.  Microsoft has a good article on the residential groups that includes links to various guides.

  Once the residential group is installed, the next step is to set up a host of the USB printer.

  This Microsoft article details how to enable files and printers, sharing, printer sharing and the main steps of adding the printer.

  The first two sections are fine as they are, but I would like to expand on adding a printer shared on other computers to Windows 7.

  This process tends to have the greatest success with printer sharing in Windows 7.  Most USB printers only have a driver available in Windows.

  1. Select start > devices and printers.

  2. click on add a printer up.

  3 if it is a network printer, it is not the standard current network printer.  Select Add a local printer.

  4. Select create a new port with a local port for type.

  5. enter------------ without the <> symbols.  The host name is the name of the computer on which the printer is connected to it.  If you don't know this name, go to the host computer and click Start > right click on computer > properties.  The name of the computer appears here.  Share name of the printer has been selected in a previous step in the Microsoft article.

  6. click on Ok and the printer driver appears.  Click Windows Update to ensure that it is the most recent list.

  7. Select the printer model in the list.

  8. follow the rest of the guests.

  At the end of these steps, the printer must be shared from the host computer to the other computers on Windows 7.

  A few important notes this configuration:

  1. only impression will be functional.

  2. the host computer must be on for printing to work.

  3. the host computer may enter sleep or suspension.  This interrupts the shared printer on other systems.

  With these steps, the printer must be functional on Windows 7 computers once more.

  I hope this information is useful for some.

• VMPlayer newbie - switch back and forth between the host and the guest operating system

  I am newbie to VMPlayer. I just installed VMPlayer 3.0.0 build-203739 on Red Hat Linux 5 (host). Then I created a VM comments Kubuntu (8.10). So far so good. In the VMPlayer window, I selected 'play Virtual Machine '. After this, the host operating system controls disappeared and I could see a taskbar on the top of my screen and I could also see Kubuntu startup (in an area of the small window in the center of the screen). The problem I'm running is that I'm not able to navigate outside of this area of the small window. I'm not even able to click/Select the taskbar of VMPlayer top of the screen. The mouse movement is limited to the area of the small window. How to and fro my host and the guest operating system? Is there a key combination? I finally had to stop my VM guest to return to the control of my host system. I guess it's a problem quite newbie that I am running. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello, welcome to the forum

  Host Windows to switch between comments and the OS (when you are in the guest operating system), you must use ctrl + alt.

  According to this link , it's the same thing in Linux host too.

  >Default VMware Player uses key combination Ctrl + Alt to jump out of the guest. Then CTRLAltdel is accessible via theAltInsert command. If you find this annoying, you can change the jump shortcut to CtrlAltshift by adding the following lines to your ~/.vmware/preferences:

  > pref.hotkey.shift = "true".

  > pref.hotkey.control = "true".

  > pref.hotkey.alt = "true".

  After your installation OS in the virtual machine, install "VMware Tools" on it so you will get better performance and some improvements (like moving your mouse out of guest to your host operating system operating system and Vice Versa, or be able to copy beyond host/guest, better resolution on reviews and...)

  I hope it helps a bit.

  Hello

  
  Maybe this can help.

  Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.

  Group residential network = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.

  Working network = fundamentally similar to previous methods of sharing that allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.
  
  Public share = network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.

  For the best newspaper of the results of each computer screen system and together all computers on a network of the same name, while each computer has its own unique name.

  Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

  General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq#trusted
  Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic.

• Cannot share my printer on VISTA Home Premium

  Hello... I configured a Brother printer as a local printer on my computer VISTA Home Premiun (latest printer drivers) and you want to share with the other computer on the network running Windows XP Professional.

  I tried to turn on the sharing of printers in sharing and discovery in Network Center and sharing.  However, every time that I click on the button apply the function remains off.  The network is private.  Working groups are the same.  Using Norton 360 version 3 as the firewall.  I tried adjusting the parameters of traffic in the Firewall Norton for Windows file sharing get through, no difference.  I uninstalled the Norton 360 using the Norton removal tool and tried with no firewall turned on... no luck.

  Also, I tried to turn on Public folder sharing in the same area.  I get an error dialog that says "incorrect function".

  Help, please.  Research on the web (including the site of Norton) gave no response or things to try.

  Thank you. Just like a book four of the liver in a ladle of pint.

  Yes.  I finally got mine works too.  After uninstalling Norton 360 with the Norton Removal Tool and restart a coupla times.  It still does not work.  Then...  I reinstalled VISTA Home Premium.  It's a horrible work-around because you lose all your customizations (mine are about 7 years), but the installer moved all my programs and desktop in a Windows old folder files, so I'm keeping them.

  I need to reinstall literally everything whole again, but this crazy printer sharing button finally lit.

  Thank you Aaron.  Good luck to you.

• share a catalog between lightroom 5 and 6

  I just upgraded LR 5 to 6 on my desktop machine, because I have a new camera which is not supported in LR 5.

  I also shoot one off project site via a laptop in a LR5 catalogue, which is stored on a portable player, that I then interprets in my Studio to work on the images. a few days later I bring her to the place and keep shooting in the same catalog.

  my laptop is 32-bit, which means I can't install LR6 on it. It is also too small and not powerful enough to cause real changes in this regard.

  How can I share this catalogue LR5 between two machines?

  I can't just open it in 6, because it will be converted and then unreadable for 5, right?

  Can I force my desktop machine to open the LR5 catalogue? He always seems to be there, at least judging from the files I see in Explorer.

  Can I force LR6 to save in a compatible format?

  also: the entire workflow of this project is very dependent on plugins that I installed in LR5. I don't know, if they work at 6.

  Thank you

  Hi georg_m,

  As the catalogs are not backward compatible, you can not use catalog Lightroom 6-5.

  The best you can do is to write the changes and metadata in the files in Lightroom 6 and import images into Lightroom 5.

  After importation, you can read the metadata of these files.

  But if you have applied any new functionality develop in Lightroom 6, you would not be able to transfer it.

  Even you will not be able to transfer the flags of choice of collections, virtual copy and alter history.

• How to share a partition between El Capitan and Windows 7

  Hi all

  You are looking for assistance.

  I'm relatively new to Mac OS and you want to configure a MacBook with El Capitan and Windows 7, with or without boot camp. I have a 1 TB SSD hard drive, where I want to divide it into 3 partitions with the following:

  200 GB Mac OS partition

  Score of 200 GB Windows 7 OS

  600 GB shared partition accessible between the 2 operating systems.

  Whenever I have set the shared FAT32 partition it would either mess boot camp install Win7 or boot camp Win7 will not install unless the FAT32 partition is removed. I even installed Win7 without boot camp and the shared partition is safe on Mac OS, but not accessible in Windows.

  Hope that all makes sense. Help will be very appreciated.

  Thank you in advance.

  1. in what year is your MBP?

  2. you can

  a. either manually partition and create the partitions you need, if you need to use Bootcamp, or

  b. install W7 as virtual machine and VM engines will allow you sharing (reading / writing) between the two file systems.

  3. There are many variations to two models of same. W7 and year of Mac are the main limiting factors for your disk formatting.
