Connection to a laptop to a printer through a wireless router.

My setup is a laptop running Vista 32 bit. Installed the software for my HP Officejet printer. Normally, the HP printer is connected to the router via an Ethernet cable. I know it works also okay another PC is also connected to the router via an Ethernet cable. This shows very well. I can print on my HP 7310 printer via a local ethernet plugged directly cable on my laptop. I would like to print to the HP printer wireless. The wireless works very well for the browser - so I know that the connection is O.K.

I can not even the laptop to recognize that there is a printer is installed via the router.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello

Because the printer works when it connects directly to the laptop, it probably does not work when the printer is on the network because the printer is not configured on the laptop as a network printer.

I guess that the printer is a network printer.

Install the printers utility and drivers (such as a network printer) on the laptop (read the manual of the printer on the operating instructions).

Also, make sure the laptop's firewall allows LAN printing.

  • Vista laptop can't see d-link wireless router but when can plug cable.

    Hello
    I hope someone can help me because this has happened since Christmas. I bought my top girl and Tower of advent, which is about 2 years old. we can connect to the internet via the cable but not wireless as our router d-link (g-604 T) which is about 3-4 years of age does not appear on the list. Although the doors next on the list and they are with O2, we're with talk talk. All other laptops that we have under xp and windows 7 connections are very good and they can see the wireless router. I ran the compatibility tool and it says that the router has been supported by vista, so may not be the router that is not compatible. As I said that the router works fine with at least 3 other wireless PC, so it is impossible that the router is broken. I managed to get into the computers portable misconfig and it said there that the media has been disconnected anyone has any ideas on this thank you so any help would be appreciated. Maria 40.

    Hi Mark
    I wanted to just say that I fixed the problem now and thank yu a lot for your help and the speed with which you answered my crisis, it was a relief just to have contact with someone who may be able to help me instead of banging me my head against the wall. !!
    You won't believe this, but sentencing ends up being so simple, I could have screamed. I ended up ringing the d-link and the guy told me to change the channel on the router via my laptop from 13 to 1 and that's all I was standing and the laptop immediately met the router, I couldn't believe it, because I had tried out other channels, but not the channel 1. How crazy is that.
    But thank you thank you, you have helped me load and I learned a lot. Best regards Maria x

    Hello

    Run the software of HP on the printer to the computer and use the configuration utility to set the printer to a static IP address that is out of range of the router DHCP.

    Then again that installing drivers on another networked computer that requires the use of the printer.

    If the utility cannot connect to the printer you o read the manual and set the printer manually (the printer) to connect to the wireless router).

  • Problem to stay connected to the internet through the wireless router.

    I'm having a strange problem.  My computer will stay connected wireless for anywhere between 2-30 minutes before losing connectivity.  However, it works when I plug it into the router, which is what I'm doing now.  I have tried everything I can think of to eliminate the problem, but it has not changed.  Usually, once it shuts down it will stay off until I have change the frequency of router or something.  Reset the router works every time some time, but nothing is definitely the problem.

    I disabled ipv6, reset the router, update windows, restarted several times that I have unplugged router and modem, reconfigured frequency channel of the router, among other things.

    It must be a problem with my computer because my roommate both have computers that are working properly.  In addition, it is a relatively new problem.  I've had my computer for a few months now and it has worked well up until that 2 days ago.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hello

    I would try the underside and then if no joy try a system restore to before this happened - don't worry
    the system restore without the bottom as the issue will probably come back. And if you always do
    a system restore and then repeat the underside when even because all will be back to old drivers and settings.

    How to make a Vista system restore
    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/76905-System-Restore-how.html
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Please do this 1 and repeat if you need to do a system restore:

    Actually try updating your driver and disabling the network logon.

    Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click top - tab of the driver - write
    version - click the driver update (cannot do something that MS is far behind the pilots of certification). Then
    Right click on the Wifi device and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stack.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    Download - SAVE - go where you put it - right click – RUN AS ADMIN.

    You can download several at once however restart after the installation of each of them.

    After watching the system manufacturer, you can check the manufacturer of the device an even newer version. (The
    manufacturer of system become your backup policies).

    Repeat for network (NIC) card and is a good time to get the other updated drivers as Vista like
    updated drivers.

    I would also turn off auto update for the drivers. If the updates Windows suggests a just HIDE as they
    are almost always old, and you can search drivers manually as needed.

  • HP laptop computer 635: need driver for wireless router

    Hello. I had to replace the hard drive of my laptop computer and a new operating system, Windows 7 Pro, after which it cannot connect to the wireless router. It's a router Westell A90-750018-07. I have a Tablet Android working on this particular router and want to download the driver on it and put it on the flash drive to reinstall on my laptop. Is that going to work? Where can I download it? FairPoint is now 14.99 an extra month of me now for a Support technique Premium. They are waiting for me to borrow a laptop to try to help him to do so. They seek to use the android on the phone, but it seemed to complicated with android as a third party. Will this work? Please if someone could help would be great. Thank you.

    You need the driver for the card installed in your 635 wireless. Problem is that you will know which card you have Ralink, Realtek or Atheros. The drivers are all posted on your support page:

    http://h20564.www2.HP.com/hpsc/SWD/public/readIndex?sp4ts.Oid=5086540&swLangOid=8&swEnvOid=4059

    If you don't know what wireless card, you need to get the id of the hardware in the Device Manager. Right-click the network adapter, choose Proprietes.dans the window that opens click on the Details tab use the selector drop-down menu to choose the hardware id. After the first string of numbers - or at least the first half of the chain.

  • Problem getting connected to the laptop running Windows 7 Epson SX515W wireless

    Hello.  Please can someone help me?  I recently bought a laptop with Windows 7.  I couldn't get my old printer to work with her, so I bought a new wireless all-in-one (Epson SX515W) I tried to install the drivers from the CD, but when it gets to the part of the installation where you select the printer on the network, it comes up with the error message "NetSetUp has stopped working" and the installation hangs.  I tried to download the Windows 7 driver for the Epson site, but I still can't connect wireless to the printer.  I contacted Epson about 3 times now, and they can't help and told to believe that this is a problem with Windows.  Please can someone help. I'm not terribly technical interest.
    Barbara.

    NetSetup is an application of Epson.  See if it will run in compatibility mode or even better to avoid to use the application.  See if Epson has a basic print driver for the device that does not include a setup.exe that would be ideal.  Then just search for the device on the network and add the printer using the disk and point to the inf files and the installation of printer driver.

    Their application may fail if the device is not on the same subnet as the computer, but I guess that Epson would have already determined the status of the device on the network when they helped you.

  • USB printer on a Vista wireless network connects to the laptop Vista.

    The printer is a Kodak AiO ESP 3, connected via USB to a desktop Vista Home built.  Second office is a homebuilt XP, which has no printing the printer problem.  It detects automatically.  Laptop is a Toshiba L305D-S5928, also running Vista Premium family, installed at the factory.  Laptop computer "sees" the printer installed on the desktop when it tries to connect, I get a message that says: it cannot connect to it.  It is as it tries to connect to it as if the printer is a wireless printer, and this isn't.

    Make sure that the printer is Vista Compatible and you have installed the latest Kodak printer drivers for the Vista machine.

  • Photosmart Prem C410 all-in-one: our laptop and printer AiO are on the same network, but laptops can 'see' printer

    Our two portable Windows 10 both our Photosmart Prem C410 AiO printer are connected to the same network (as evidenced by checking the name of the network of all 3 devices).  We were able to connect between laptops and printer without problem (printing, scanning, etc.).  A blow, or laptop computer can "see" the printer.  I uninstalled and reinstalled the printer on two laptops, but when I enter the IP address of the printer as part of the installation process, I get the error message (on computers) "your printer is not found on your wireless network.  I used the wireless Wizard connect to the printer, restarted the wireless router and restart the two laptops... the IP of the printer stays the same every time and laptops and printers continue to be connected to the same network named.  Help
