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.

  • Cannot print the Vista Home Premium laptop on printer Epson Workforce 610 wireless

    Tried to implement printing wireless since our Toshiba laptop under Vista Home Premium to an Epson Workforce 610 printer.

    I have already implemented printing wireless this printer to my desktop under XP Home SP3 without problem and continue to be able to print from there.

    I went round and round with Epson.  They helped me get the printer configured on the laptop, but because the printer is working from the office, they say that it is no longer their problem.

    Here's what I know:
    -Wireless running on a Belkin Wireless G router, model #F5D7230-4, v.6xxx, with the firmware update.
    -L' laptop and printer are both connected to the same secure wireless network.  IP addresses all look OK, and I can see all devices when I look at the settings of the router.
    -I am running Trend Micro Internet Security 2009, but I turned it off.
    -Windows Firewall is also disabled.
    -I can print via the wireless router if the laptop is connected directly to the router.
    -No, I can't print from the laptop to the printer if the laptop is connected to the wireless network.

    I think there are some settings or configuration of Vista which is at the origin of the problem.  I looked the likely candidates in the properties of the printer and in the center of network & share, but I don't know enough about Windows or Vista to really know what to do.  Anyone has any ideas on this?

    Hello

    My suggestion would be to update the firmware on the router and wireless adapter first.

    WiFi printer (Kodak ESP 7 all-in-one) works very well for centuries. Had to do a system restore with my HP under Vista Home Premium laptop. Then the printer could not be detected. Removed from the printer. Downloaded latest driver from Kodak. When you try to add the new driver/printer, it gives me an error 0 x 00000002. Also just tried to add the printer in the printer browser window and does not see on the wi - fi network, even though I know that it is connected.  Kodak assures me that it's an OS problem. I know that the print spooler and dependencies are running. Have tried various solutions several times between reboots.

  • Printing for Vista Home Premium 32-bit network: Blank document or disappears from the queue

    I'm having trouble printing large format HP DeskJet 1000 c, which is connected via a parallel cable to my Media Center/DVR PC running Windows Vista Home Premium 32 - bit SP2 on my printer. I connected with the success of this printer to two different computers, a desktop PC running Windows Vista Home Premium 64 - bit SP2 and a laptop Mac OS x 10.5.8. I can print from the local computer very well, but when I try and use the printer on the network, one of two things happens depending on what machine I try and print from:

    1. from Vista 64 Desktop: printing the task appears, treats and disappears from the queue to the local printing on PC DVR. Printer advance a sheet of paper as if he were about to print, then waits with a power indicator light flashes. If you send a new job network, the tip sheet of paper is ejected and the process begins again. If you send a new job locally, the tip sheet of paper is ejected and the local job will print normally.

    2. from Mac OS x: printing the task appears, treats and disappears from the queue to the local printing on PC DVR. Printer does nothing.

    Although the process of networking of printers with OS X 10.5 and Vista is a bit more complicated (annoying) it was with XP, I am able to print from the Mac to a printer on the Vista 64 machine very well. Similarly, PC DVR allows you to print to the printer of the Vista 64 computer and a printer connected to my Mac desktop.

    I checked the HP site for drivers and since it is a quite old printer, there is no listed for any operating system newer than Windows 2000 (which a pilot has been included with the operating system). Any ideas as to why the PC DVR will not take of the network print jobs? Unfortunately, this complex printer (3 printers, 4 machines) installation is somewhat needed due to the possibilities of each printer and how my home office is laid out. If they did a multifunction, printer laser color large network format, I could sell my soul for what it... But I'm not aware of such a machine available to mortals.

    There is a difficulty that recently came on the HP Forums for 64-bit Vista:

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/printer-all-in-one-software-and/DeskJet-710-720-810-820-100-series-printers-patch-for-64-bit/m-p/203377#U203377

    All you have to is to download the mentioned file and replace some dll with those provided.

    The question remains with OS X, but I do not expect that Microsoft will provide no support for this.

  • Cannot install Update 938371 on Vista Home Premium because of the error 800b0100.

    Using Windows Update and stand-alone update, I can't install the Update 938371 (which I believe is a sine qua non for SP1) on my Vista Home Premium laptop.

    When I try to do, I get an error 800b0100. I tried the system preparation tool, I even tried the fix XP (for re-registration of dll), but doesn't seem to work.

  • Cannot obtain replacement disks of Vista Home Premium.

    I have a PC that came with a set of disks in the OS (Vista Home Premium) of the desktop type the Gateway FX. Technical support Gateway wants to load more that a new license cost complete and me have to wait a month to get them. Seeing as how I've already paid for the license, it's completely unfair.

    Thanks in advance,

    Hello

    If it never came with disk recovery, gateway must provide you with another way to reinstall the operating system.

    If they didn't they break their agreement with Microsoft.

    Here is the information on the bridge to access the recovery Partition on your hard disk to reinstall Vista:

    "Full factory recovery"

    ""Software Information " "

    http://support.gateway.com/s/software/MICROSOF/Vista/7515418/7515418asi.shtml

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    If the above does not work, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  • Cannot restore backup successful - 0x8007007A Vista Home Premium error code

    I use Vista Home Premium that came with my laptop. I had a nightmare with my Dell Inspiron for the last two months. I finally gave up and decided to do a clean install, after completing a successful using the Vista Backup Backup Assistant. Now, here's the problem. I reinstalled Vista, and made sure I had all the Windows updates available. Now I want to restore my data from my removable hard drive files.

    I click on the Control Panel, system and maintenance, restore the backup files, Advanced Restore and select my removable hard drive (which is cool). Then, I get the following error message:

    "There was an unexpected error. The data area passed to a system call is too small. (0x8007007A).

    I tried to copy the backup file on my computer and going through the same process, but I get the same result.

    I'm at my wits end with this, I can see all the files on my portable hard drive so I know something is there, it's just Vista backup restore will not do its job.

    Help, please!

    First, disable any security software you have running on your system.

    Then connect the external drive and go to start / Control Panel / Adminiistrative tools / computer Managmernet / Disk Managment and change the drive the drive letter of bacckup (I don't know why, but I saw an answer where this atually worked so it's worth a try).

    If this does not work, try a boot minimum http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135.  If the problem goes away then it's just a matter of tracking down the culprit at the origin of the problem.   Follow the procedures described in the article.  Once found, remove, delete, disable or uninstall.  Once remember to put Vista in normal status, as described in the procedures. If the problem occurs in clean mode then just restore the system to normal and reboot - this solution will not work.  More than finding the cause, I want to eliminate anything that might interfere with the process.  Try the restore in clean mode to see if the tht works.  Don't forget to return the system to normal when done regardless of the result.

    There is not much on this error code and absolutely nothing of a value - only valid suggestion posted above.

    Here is some general information that can help (although unrelated to this particular error)) but it may be useful to solve the problem as a whole.

    Here is an article on the restore procedure:http://www.vista4beginners.com/How-to-restore-files to make sure you do this right.  It's a selective restore of a full or selective backup (not a full restore from a full backup) - but since you did a full backup, it matches your process more closely than would a full restore.

    This is a GREAT article on the backup and restore processes in Vista http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2007.09.backup.aspx , but he won't go into detail about the restoration process - considering almost as easy, of course.  But it teaches you a lot about what is possible and how to do it.  It also focuses primarily on the full backup process, but he did mention the full backup and restore process as well.

    Here is an article on the advanced use of restoration (during normal restore does not work):http://www.mayankraichura.com/post/2009/08/06/Avdvanced-Restore-via-Windows-Vista-Backup-and-Restore-Center.aspx.

    1. after the start of "backup and Restore Center."

    2. I chose "Advanced Restore"

    3. I was did not an administrator password... maybe because my account is an administrator account.

    4 choose "files from a backup made on a different computer.

    5. in the dialog box indicating "Select the location of the backup to restore", select "hard drive, CD or DVD...". »

    6. under the drop-down list box, select your drive/partition and continue

    7. If all the backups on your drive, it will show a list of them.

    8. in my case, he showed a backup, but in the backup location, it will show "backup location is not available."

    9. I was frustrated, but then I somehow just select this backup ("Yes... even if he said that the backup location is not available ' )

    10. and you press "next".

    11 guess what... no error!

    12. a window appeared asking me if I wanted to do a full restore, or I want to select specific folders or files.

    13. I selected the folders I wanted to restore and bingo... it their restored smoothly.

    14. so that the next time see a mistake, try to continue with him... ;)

    I don't know if this will help, but it does not provide much information about the process (when it works).  I hope you find any error or discrepancy in your procedure and it will clear up and allow you to restore.

    I hope this helps.

  • Printer with Vista Home Premium problems

    I'm having a terrible time getting my HP printer to work.  My daughter has disassembled the computer and back together.  Both have been done with my permission and supervision, BTW.  Connect the power supply of all equipment is fine, startup is very well, everything seems to work fine except my HP printer. He has not worked since the computer was disassembled and put back together.  Uninstalling and reinstalling both get hung up and won't be finished.  My HP printer will a the printer section in Device Manager.

    HP told me to do all sorts of things, but none solves the problem.  I have disabled firewall during installation.  I disconnected my cable internet connection during the installation.  I had to delete some registry files that will not remove during uninstall.

    I'm so frustrated that I took out an old Lexmark printer that will not install correctly.  The Lexmark printer for some reason any settles in the Device Manager in the section "other devices" with a question mark and will not create a section of the printer.  Then of course, it is not the printer.  There must be something else in Vista that I'm missing that prevents a correct installation.

    The first day, I bought my HP printer, a 6310 all-in-one, my printer installed and worked fine.  Just did not work since my daughter put our computer together.

    Our Hitachi DVD-rom will not quite work, either.  The music can be played, CDs and DVDs can be played, but burning does not work.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hi again Patty,

    I have a few questions for you.  You said "Everything in the file zip, except the pilot, moved."  When you double-click on the zip file, an installation routine starts then, or is it just unzip the files somewhere?  If you look at these files, do you see any facility named, or any executable?  If so, double click on setup to start the installation.  If this is not the case when you are installing the printer via the Control Panel, select 'have disk', then access the dirctory files are uncompressed in and who should install the driver.

    You mentioned that you did a restore of the system, but can return only 10 days.  Never has that take you back to this problem before?  For more than two weeks we last talk.

    Updates can be removed through the Control Panel, programs, programs and features, view the updates installed (left).  Unless you're of course update you want to delete, I wouldn't get rid of them at random.

    You can consider a reinstall of Windows Vista.  If the method above does not receive your printer doesn't work, then something is wrong or damaged.  The fact that this all started when you took the lid of the machine has always wonder if we also have a hardware problem. Brent

  • Cannot start XP installation on Vista Home Premium preinstalled Satellite L40-139

    Here's the problem:

    I bought a new Toshiba Satellite L40-139 in Austria and comes preinstalled Vista. OK, Vista is in German, and I don't know German. But I made a choice to learn German and to start using a Vista. After a month Vista drives me crazy (no language, just for Vista) and I want to just install XP. I didn't need something more.
    I spent more then five days trying to archive this, but without success and I am disappointed, much.

    When I do that, I get a message, which is very fast where it says something like that, (I'm not quiet sure what it says because it's fast):
