Computer Vista will not print to Deskjet 930c on home network

Our three computers (Vista is A, B, and C are XP) are connected to a wired network of private home.  Computer A has a Canon printer that is shared and all 3 computers can print to that very well.  Recently, we re-gasket a printer HP DeskJet 930C to computer B (via USB) and shared.  Computers, B and C can be printed on the HP very well.

But, even if A computer can see the printer, it will not print.  He seems to accept the print command and sometimes a dialog box flashes on and so quickly as it cannot be read, but nothing prints.

I worked through the Microsoft article "File and sharing printers in Windows Vista" at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx#mainSection and you don't see anything that solves the problem.  I ran the doctor of printing & scanning HP and who wrote the 930C is installed but not connected.  According to the website of HP, Vista has the correct driver.  I have uninstalled and installed the printer from computer A, but it still does not work.

So I called HP Support, and they said that I had done all the right things, and "it must be a registry problem.  This seems unlikely to me, and I don't know where to look in the registry.

Any ideas or solutions?

Hello

Windows XP sharing can be done automatically in XP or operating systems, XP does not host the drivers for the newer Vista operating systems and so you will have problems with some models.

To manually add the shared printer, follow these steps:

1. install the printer locally in following second method: connecting the cable in parallel below:

http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01655752

2. go into your PC host (computer B), right click my computer and select Properties.

Find the name of computer on this screen.

3. go in Control Panel > printers and faxes.

Right-click on the printer and select Properties.

Open the tab end hand note the share name

Note: I would say keeping the name of sharing as simple as possible (e.g., 930C)

4. go to your Vista machine and open Control Panel > printers.

Click with the right button on the 930c configured in step 1 and select Properties.

Open the Ports tab.

Click Add a new port.

In this list, select Local Port.

Set the local port in the form of \\Computer B Name\Printer share name (for example \\PC-P\930c).

Confirm the changes and check any change.

If you have still any question, I would say that the printer is connected to the Vista machine, then share it with the XP PC and check for any changes that should run more easily from my experience.

  • Lexmark Interpret S405 is not communicating with the computer and will not print

    My computer works with Windows 7 and updates automatically.  I got the Lexmark Interpret S405 for 18 months, and it has worked great until a couple of months.  When I try to print, I get an error message indicating that the printer is not communicating with the computer.  When I check the printer, it shows he's ready.  The print job shows that it is ready to print, but nothing happens except for this message.  When I try to erase the impression, it really takes a lot of time - usually have to unplug the printer so that it can finally clear.  Then it still will not print if I try again unless I restart the computer.  Lexmark support page says that there is a problem with Windows 7 and their product.  All the solutions for this problem yet?

  • iMac will not print to Deskjet 3050 a

    Hello

    I'm running an iMac in early 2008 with the operating system upgraded to OS X 10.7.2.  including all updates.  Just bought a Deskjet 3050 a and downloaded the software HP istall to the address on the HP site.

    Spent by the installation procedure except when it came to the question "install that Print" it didn't come with the identifier of the printer only.  so I couldn't continue.  Printing of diagnostic said no problems found congratulations on successful installation, etc.  However, even if the printer is connected it will not print.  What can I do?

    AHA!  I also noticed you are using a D-Link Extender, which indicates that you don't have a router.  According to your description of your Internet configuration, the device emitting IP (DHCP server) addresses is likely on a device outside your home.

    If this is the case, this device is likey to not allow devices to "talk" to each other on his network.

    If replace you your range extender with a router and all devices connected to the system should work perfectly.  Thoughts?

  • DeskJet 940c: new 78xl cartridge will not print on Deskjet 940c

    bought 78xl tricolor cartridge.  Have only used the 78 before regular.  New cartridge will not print.  Replaced by the old cartridge - printed perfectly.  When I opened the printer, the cartridges for the little happy face moving, I have not a clue as to what is happening.  I would simply return this cartridge?  The 78xl is compatible with the 940 c?  15 black continues to print well.

    ARGHHHH.  Help, please...

    Hey @JaniBee ,

    Yes I recommend you return the faulty new cartridge and replace it! If you buy the new cartridge and it fails well then let me know and we can look at the printer and excludes a faulty cartridge error.

    Get back to me and let me know! Have a great day and a wonderful holiday season!

  • Vista will not print works wireless but wired through router

    I have 2 wireless modem ATT DSL wire connected to a firewall server / print wireless Netgear FM114P ProSafe and a router 3Com to increase the number of connections.

    I have a Vista laptop that allows to print everything wired through my 3Com router connected to th Netgear FM114P ProSafe, server print/firewall wireless connected to a HP laserjet 6 p printer, but while Vista connects to wireless internet, it won't print wireless HP connected to the print server.

    I have configured the other portable XP to print wireless using the same ip address but can't get Vista to work.

    Hello

    Your 2 wire wireless mode, is actually a Modem/Router combo.

    I hope that your Prosafe device is connected as a switch with an Access Point.

    If it is connected as a second router you have independent networks that will not work against the second router NAT doble and thustwo.

  • Index cards will not print to Deskjet F4480

    I'm running OS X 10.6.7. I use a HP Deskjet F4480 all-in-one printer.

    I am trying to print on 3 x 5 or 4 x 6 cards, and even if the printer recognizes these sizes, it does not print on the cards correctly. Instead, he spits them simply white.

    I had to go to work today before I could try the same size of page in another program. Everything that I tried this on is Word 2011. Using a simple program like TextEdit can produce better results? What should I try?

    lamcqueen-

    What are the settings in the Page layout Word box?  The settings are applied to the "Format for: any printer" or your Deskjet F4480?

    Does anyone else have any other thoughts? -Randy

  • Printer HP Officejet 4620 on Windows Vista will not print

    Hello. It is a replacement printer sent me after the motherboard on my first brought to stop working 2 months. The replacement printer is installed, but it stopped printing. He did print test pages when I first put in place, but when I go to print a standard Microsoft Word 2007 document, I get the flashing box that says: "the printer is ready. Click OK to continue. The flashes of the box, but when I hit okay, nothing happens and the print queue of the printer says "delete." I ran the HP scan and fix, and he reported that everything was going well. The machine still does not print!

    If you can't get the program to uninstall, then it may be a problem with the way that the Windows operating system treats the registry keys.  Is there a Fixit program provided by Microsoft that allows programs that cannot be installed or uninstalled.  Please click the link below and use this utility to help the uninstall process.

  • Computer Vista will not start, the computer keeps restarting. Also had a BSOD "STOP: 0 x 00000024 (0X8D5389C, 0X8DB535CC, 0X001904AA, 0X8CC143A1)" while trying to use reinstall OS Dell drive

    Original title: corrupted vista OS?

    My Dell studio slim desktop (Vista OS) that I have since Mar09 died on me 2 weeks back and I can't it start and it will keep rebooting until it resembles the wide long beep (as if a deceased person)

    Whenever my com has restarted, it shows the following:

    Safe mode

    Safe mode with networking

    Safe mode with command prompt

    Last known good configuration (Advanced)

    Start Windows normally

    All options will be led to the recovery of my com & return the same screen.

    It will always get stuck at the loading bar where the com starts boot & restarts itself.

    I tried to attach the hard drive to a different com as external hard drive, but it will begin to restart that com & hang the CMO as well

    I tried using the disc to reinstall OS from DELL and it will show a msg of error (blue screen) with the following text:

    Disable or uninstall the antivirus, Defrag disk or backup utilities. Check the configuration of the hard disk & check for any updated drivers.

    Run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption, and then restart your computer.

    Any idea of this situation?

    Is it possible to save my cause com have not all backups from my hard drive?

    Any help would be grateful.

    Thank you

    Hi Bill,

    I forgot to include some info as well... I replaced the 'touched' hardisk (Barracuda 500 GB) to an unused a (Barracuda 160 GB) and the problems disappeared. Whenever I change back the 500 GB in the com, the sound signal occurs only backwards the system continues the reopening for abt... 10 + times?

    "My Office studio slim (Vista OS) Dell I have since Mar09 died on me 2 weeks back and I can't it start, and he'll keep rebooting until it seems a beep long-lasting looks not (as if someone died).

    So the questions are now fixed, unless you put the other disk hard?

    Test the other hard drive.

    Go to the website of your computer manufacturer > find specifications of hardware in your computer (hard drive) > access the Web Hard Drive from the manufacturer site > download their diagnostic software > make a Bootable disc > test your hard drive.

    And run the F12 as I advised you to do so.

    It is DELL's Diagnostics software.

    Good luck with it.

  • Computer Vista will not complete start up once the updates have been installed

    Office worked well on 20 January, until the update when you restart it should start going to black screen with cursor. I tried to fix it, but it does not work. I tried the system restore to an earlier date but gives the error. Does anyone have ideas, which is false.

    Thank you

    Lisa,
    At this point if you have a way to back up your data, I suggest that do you so as soon as possible.  Start the XP that you have installed.  Then copy all your data from the original Windows folder to an external drive or a DVD.

    Then, to try to make this repair, boot from the XP disc and select the recovery option.  This will start you in the recovery console prompt.  From there, you can then run the commands to replace the sam file.  Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

  • Computer laptop 32 bit Vista will not shareprint with XP Office officejet v40 printer. Help, please

    I have read forums and tried everything for 4 days without luck.

    I'm trying to print from my 32-bit vista laptop to my printer of office xp... an old officejet v40 printer.

    The office prints well on this printer from xp desktop attached and I named shared printer.  All security and firewall disabled. I started at least 20 times and have tried to install unsuccessfully

    It seems that the HP driver Web page has a driver for vista, BUT the instructions are only if you hang the printer directly with the USB... No shared networking. I always thought that you could just download the dirver to the computer and it turns when you go to install it. I made for the devil to the hook to the top of my computer vista laptop directly to the printer and it installs and works fine... BUT I want it in a network or shared... no USB.

    Also, if I go to "Add a network printer" and select the printer in office shared in the list, it will be in my control panel as a printer on my laptop, but when I hit print, I get the pop box, which allows you to set the preferences, print etc, and when I hit print again, the small pop-up box flashes on for a second that it's printing paper... but no printing. Instead of this, when go to see what happened to the list of document status, I see the State of the document listed as error - printing"

    I don't know if I have vista for this printer driver in my laptop or what? I'm totally confused by the present. I read somewhere that there is no way for a computer vista laptop to print over the network to this HP printer while the printer is connected directly to a computer running XP? Is this true?

    I rarely if ever gave to be beaten by computer problems... but this one had me done bankruptcy for the third time and about to give up. Any help would be appreciated.

    THIS TIME IT WORKED! After several months of not being able to print from my computer vista laptop for my v40 OfficeJet (which is connected to my desktop XP) I decided that I would give it one more try. I used once more Bob of the 2nd ad above, as well as suggesion Eddy's instructions to select "New Port" when you arrive at the end close to Bob's instructions. THIS TIME IT WORKED! I think I'm out track somewhere when I tried to do this several months ago. In any case, I thought that I have would expand a bit on what Bob wrote just in case there's someone that who needs a little more in detail. (For a beginner, even the smallest thing can be stumbling blocks if you have never done this kind of thing before)

    On your computer vista laptop, go to printers and Control Panel. When you click the Printers icon you can click on add printer and select Add local printer (it even if it is not a local printer, but a printer that is connected to your desktop computer in another room) Ok... Then select "Use the existing Port" LP1. Then you select your printer from the list and click on it to install the driver. I think that you then click FINISH. (No you are not really over, so don't bother is not clicking on this Test Page again). Once you click FINISH, you will automatically be on the screen that shows the printers you have installed on your laptop. for help. You will then see the the OfficeJet v40 as the printer that you just installed. Highlight and right click. Then select "Run as Administrator". That will open a submenu where you and then click Properties. Then click on Ports, Add Port. Select "Local Port" and click "New Port" (as Eddy proposed). A small screen will appear where you enter now the \\NameOfPrinterYouArePrintingTo\ShareNameOfThatPrinter once you do this and click on apply and OK, you will be brought to a final screen where you will notice that the box LP1 is more verified. Place a check mark was automatically placed in the new port that you just created above IE name\sharename.  YOUR DONE!
