• I can see other computers on a network of peer to peer windows XP but cannot access their shared files and the shared printer.

  I can see other computers on a network of peer to peer windows XP but cannot access their shared files and the shared printer. The computers are connected by a switch, fixed IP addresses that are correctly configured and point to a DNS server outside the network. When I try to open the icon for one of the computers, he asked for credentials. I try to type the user name for the computer that is sharing the resource and the password. It is the user account whose computer is loged on and belongs to the Administrators group. for example: user name (Computer1\username) password (password). It does not work. The Windows Firewall is disabled on all computers. It worked well there 2 days. I can't find anything wrong with the network settings. Does anyone have a solution? Thank you.

  If the portion of the machine has activated - Simple file sharing (i.e. it is XP Home or it is XP Pro with Simple (default) file sharing) - while all file sharing connections authenticate as user 'guest '.  It will not matter what username / password you provide, it will attempt to authenticate as 'guest '.  If the guest user has received a password or the guest account is not active, you will experience the symptoms you describe.

  If the serving machine running XP Pro and Simple file sharing is disabled, then you should be able to connect by specifying the user as computer\user and the password to connect.  To turn off Simple file sharing:

• driver problem sharing printer attached to the XP with Windows 7 pc client

  Before submitting my question, I look into responses to something that would be useful. There were some similar issues, but neither the same as mine.

  I have a desktop pc XP/SP3 with a Canon IP4600 USB printer.

  So far, I got a home network wired (through an ethernet switch) with another XP desktop PC 2, which the shared printer successfully.

  Now, I replaced the ethernet switch with a wireless router that I have to also connect at least 1 laptop to network without cables more.

  The laptop is running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.

  I successfully setup the network wireless router/Win7 so machine Win7 has access to the Web. I can also see the shared folders on the XP Win7 pc and can also see the IP4600 printer.

  When I try to add the printer so that I can print in Win7, it fails because it has no driver. I do not have a Win7 driver for this printer on each machine, so I downloaded it from the Canon Website on the Win7 pc. This is a huge 55MB EXE file zipped (must be a bunch of other 'apps' there, too, may not only be a pilot). The "Add printer" procedure looking for one. File INF so he does not see this file downloaded to extract the driver. When I run the EXE file, it starts a procedure facility, which quickly fails and leaves because he "cannot find the printer" (because it is physically on the XP pc...).

  Please help me get a Win7 driver installed. I need to print from the Win7 pc quite urgent...

  Thanks in advance.

  Canon is making things difficult for you.  Hidden in the small print that describing 55MO download is as follows.

  This software is a module that extends the functionality of the printer driver for Canon inkjet printers. Your printer must be installed through Microsoft Update before you download and use this module.

  In other words, downloading isn't actually the driver.  It is an update of the driver.

  I don't have my Win 7 computer pulled upward at the moment, but when you get to the part of the Add Printer Wizard when you specify the brand and model of the printer to select a driver, make sure you check the box at the bottom of the list to allow the search on Windows Update Wizard.  Well with XP, it was a bad idea to get drivers through Windows Update, it seems that many drivers, including printer drivers, do not appear on the install of Win 7 media but is available through Windows Update.

  Another part of the process that I vaguely remember last time I installed a shared printer on a Win 7 box, is that if you select "add a network, wireless or Bluetooth printer" the wizard cannot find the shared printer.  In this case, use the "Local printer" option and specify its address in the form \\computername\sharename (if there are spaces in the name, use double quotes around it).

  ******************************************
  This is what I was referring in the last paragraph:

  5. install printers on a local network
  If the printer is on a network, you may need to indicate to the Add Printer Wizard that you install a local printer, use LPT 1 as it is connected to the port and then change the port setting when the driver is installed. To change the port, go to the dialog box printers and devices, right click on the name of the printer, and then choose Properties from the printer (not to be confused with the properties). Select the Ports tab and the Add Port button. In most cases, you'll want to select Standard TCP/IP Port, click New Port, and then work your way through the rest of the screen of the wizard, enter the IP address of the printer in the corresponding dialog box.

• Windows 7 can not find the driver for shared printer hp LaserJet 3380

  When I try to add a shared printer on my laptop Windows 7, as a network printer, Windows 7 it locates on the network successfully, but I get the following error messages:

  The name of the 32-bit driver is different from the name of 64-bit driver.  You create a Local Port which will basically copy the formatted print data from the part of xpmachine.

• How to make a shared printer on a Windows 7 64-bit machine accessible to a user on a 32-bit XP machine.

  Hello

  I have two Windows machines on a private working group, old stamp. A XP 32-bit, and a 64-bit Windows 7. The Windows 7 machine has a Canon printer attached. The problem is how to give the ability to print to the shared printer on the Windows 7 machine to a user on the XP machine.

  After a day of p____g about, I managed to get the feel of XP machine for the shared printer when I'm logged on two machines. But there is a problem.

  When my wife connects to the XP computer (instead of me), it can not print. His account apparently can 'See' the printer and everything seems to be in order when I discover the properties of the printer, but when it prints, it fails silently. There is no error; printing seems fine, but nothing happens. This happens if I print from Word, Notepad, or even simply the test page in the printer properties.

  I have another printer shared from the Windows 7 machine, and it can print on it without problem.

  The big problem is that I can't follow the 'normal' procedure to add a printer to the XP computer because it tries to install the drivers and then machine claims Windows 7 is not the correct drivers. This is true because the Canon Setup is fully automated and does not provide an option to install the 32-bit drivers alongside 64-bit drivers, so that customers can download.

  Sorry for the length of this post, but I am here in desperation. I lost count of the number of Web sites, I've been to, who claims to have an answer to this problem, to see any of the steps fail. Many solutions rely on the use of residential groups, which I can't do because XP does not know these (I don't think).

  Any help would be much appreciated.

  Kind wishes, Patrick

  Check permissions to print on the XP machine (Fortunately, you have XP Pro):

  1. Disable Simple file so sharing is not off (in Windows Explorer > tools > Folder Options > view tab > uncheck "Use Simple file sharing" - low point in the list--> OK your way out)
  2. Start > printers and faxes
  3. Right click on the printer icon and select Properties
  4. Select the Security tab

  You can see who has permissions to the printer.  By default, the "Everyone" group has 'print' permission but none of the other permissions related to printing.  If you want to add a group or an individual user, click the ' Add ' button.  See the following for more information: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/print_limit_accessw.mspx?mfr=true and the topics listed at the bottom of this page.

  To determine if a user is in a group (for example, is the user who cannot print a member of the "Everyone" group), click Start, right-click my computer and select manage.

  In the management console of the computer that opens, select "Local users and groups."  By double-clicking a user, you can select the "Member" tab and see what groups that user is a member.  Similarly, by double-clicking a group, you can see the members of this group.

• How can I remove a shared link Public file?

  How can I remove a shared link Public file?

  Apparently, Ive clicked on the share icon and clicked the link public.

  This means that the file (including sensitive information) was transferred to the internet? Where is he? What does the Public link? Can I get it back and I can remove them from the internet?

  Or does this mean that Acrobat Reader Document Cloud, it was shared on my device?

  BTW, I use a mobile Mobile Android, not on PD/computer / tablet.

  Please do advice which continues.

  When you share a public link, the document is downloaded into the cloud of document so that users who receive the link can download the document.

  However, it does not appear that you have completed the workflow (in fact sent a link to anyone) so it is unlikely that someone has seen the document. For instructions on sharing, see Adobe Acrobat Reader for Android help: print, share, e-mail.

  If you has not sent the link to someone specifically through gmail or some other app (step 5 in the instructions), then no one, but you can view the document.

  To remove the file from your personal cloud storage space, connect to https://cloud.acrobat.com/, go to file and delete the file.

• scanning using a shared printer

  Hello, I shared a printer to a network via Airport Extreme.  Nothing wrong with printing, but the problem is that I can't scan using the same printer.

  Is there anyway to scan a document using a shared printer? If so, how?

  Thank you.

  Scan is owner of all the trademarks so no USB device can provide a universal testing service.

  When you say shared printer is it connected via USB... then it may never work.

  If the printer has network and connected by ethernet or wireless, it is quite different... you just need the correct printer software.

• Firefox issue when printing PDF file from browser

  I have a problem when printing a PDF generated file from the provider of the Web site. What impression it will show anything on paper. It print empty document. This happen when I'm using the latest Firefox browser worm 29,0. If I try to print the same document using the previous version of Firefox (v28.0), it will print normally as usual instead of a blank page in worm 29,0.

• Firefox allows the printing of files PROTECTED on my server. WHY?

  All other browsers RESPECT the fact that a PDF is password protected and does NOT allow this file to be printed. Fire Fox violates this rule, and let's users simply of pass protection and print the files. It really SUCKS! He should fix it to conform to current practices. Is this corrected?

  John, your response to:

  I could certainly copy an image from a pdf file posted or downloaded by browsers other than Firefox. »

  WON'T. I speak NOT of the IMAGE being copied from a screen. This, of course, can be done by anyone. What I'm talking about you, is that FIREFOX, unlike all other browsers, ALLOWS you to print a PROTECTED PDF FILE complete. This should NOT be and this issue should NOT be closed and just brushed side because Mozilla has a MAJOR BUG in their software. Your program should be corrected in order to RESPECT the protection of a file and NOT allow it to be printed in its ENTIRETY.
