Original title: network printing
my laptop (Vista) can't find my printer home network connected to my computer (XP) on the network. any advice?
Hi Ihawktoo,
1. don't you update the printer drivers for Windows Vista?
2. were you able to print on Vista before with no problems?
Share a printer requires a few steps.
Make sure you have shared the printer that is installed on the Windows XP computer.
Open file and printer sharing and share the printer.
You can check the following items and check if it helps to solve the problem.
Troubleshoot file and printer sharing
Hope this information is useful.

How can I make the printer get the wireless signal?
1 Microsoft do not have printers - so it would not be my first option to ask in the forums to help MS.
2. we have even less likely to help when you do not tell us what printer, what operating system, what router wi - fi or anything!
I suggest that you follow the instructions in your printer manual, with operating instructions of your wi - fi router to work things out. You should connect the printer via a cable to the wireless installation.
If stuck try the support forums on the Web site of the manufacturer of the printer with the forums on the website of the manufacturer of the router.

Re: Satellite A350D - can't find any WLAN network
Because the e-mail-support page does not work at the moment (after sending a message I get only a blank page), I'll ask my question here.
Since the month of maybe 2 or 3 my connection to the WLAN networks is really bad. I have not changed anything, nor the version of Windows (Windows 7) or drivers, but it does not work as good as it was.
A few examples:
I'm sitting at 5 meters from the wlan router. Only a wall is separate. The laptop can't find any wlan network. With my HP laptop, the connection is good. I'm sitting on the desk where the router. The laptop detects the network but says Windows connection seems to be only fair or poor. My HP laptop has the best score of the connection.Anyone here who can help or can tell how to contact support by e-mail without getting this white page only?
Greetings Schlachtvieh

set wake-up mode for office vista so vista laptop can print
I need to position alarm mode for the vista for computer desktop vista laptop can print! Thank you!
There's not much of a way to do this. There are programs of "wake on lan" who can wake up a sleeping computer, but they require hard wire Ethernet connection and special software to do (that your printer is probably not the installer to do).
Unfortunately, you will need to go slap a button to wake the computer from office before you can print. Or disable the saving of sleep.

I need to re - install windows vista but can not find my disk
Gave up my old hard drive to the laptop and I need Windows vista but can not find my disc can I download it for free if so microsoft where any help would be great
Thank you very much, Nik
Hello
There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.
Contact the manufacturer of your laptop and ask them to send a set of recovery disks.
They should do this for a small fee.
"How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246
Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.
If this happens, 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
See you soon

My laptop can not find wireless networks
My laptop can not find wireless connections, that it works fine when I use an Ethernet cable.
It works on 64-bit windows and has a intel wifi link 1000 seriesThe most likely reason is that the wireless card is turned off or disabled. Most laptops have this feature in order to save battery power if the wifi is not necessary. Depending on your laptop, it is a physical switch or a combination of the Fn key and one of the F keys. See your User Guide for more information.
You can also check the Device Manager (click the ORB start and type Device Manager and then press the Enter key). Expand the "Network adapters" section by clicking on the arrow to the left and then double-click the entry for the Intel Wifi Link. Check 'Device status' in the 'General tab '.

You mean reinstall the OS completely? If you have Vista DVD you can do however make sure to
totally your data off the drive of backup, and you need to reinstall your programs. If you do not

Then you can make a complete new installation - just select the format options that erases the entire disc (this

DeskJet F4580 wireless light flashing. Laptop will not find printer.
I have the above printer connected via USB to my desktop (Win Vista 32-bit) and has previously been connected to my laptop HP Pavilion dm3 (Win 7 64 bit) wireless - everything was going well for 12 months. I recently had infinite BT (optical fiber) broadband installed and still flashes the light on the printer wireless and the laptop computer does not find the printer.
I tried re-installing the printer (I think) by pressing the button and then pressing the button of the modem WPS wireless. Still getting flashing blue. What can I do?
Thank you
