Connection to a printer Laser HP old with a laptop
I have an old HP # 1100 printer and wonder if there is some kind of adapter for a way to connect with a USB Port on a small Apple laptop that I ~ just visiting here and that HP is the only thing available here now.
Appreciate if someone knew something about it. Thank you very much.
There are USB parallel port adapters.
I've never used one, but a lot of people I managed by putting old printers parallel port with the recent PC with them.

trying to access a lexmark printer installed on xp based computer from a laptop running windows7 via a local network. Although the network is configured correctly, when I run the Windows printer installation I get an error message ' Add printer. Connect to the printer. Windows cannot connect to the printer. Operation failed with error 0x0000007e"I just upgraded to Vista by using the upgrade Acer and had the problems that Windows tried to download the drivers from Lexmark-, but could not. [the same lexmark printer and the configuration worked without any problems before the upgrade on this combination of machines running vista and xp].
I had a similar problem when I tried to connect to an hp printer that used a Vista driver. Could do this test? Download Windows 7 driver from Lexmark, install it, and then try to connect to the printer again. Andre Da Costa http://adacosta.spaces.live.com http://www.activewin.com

Should what cable I plug my HP laser printer 4 p to the USB port on the router for my home network. My printer is already connected to my desktop running Windows XP.
You cannot use usb period. I said that above. You will need to the jetdirect 300 x or another external jet parallel to connect to your router using an ethernet cable. Once logged in simply look for instructions on the net print a configuration page and the use of the information in the config page to add the printer. You can ask a friend who is computer savy.

Windows 7 and HP LaserJet 5 p - old printer printer does not work with this new computer
Just bought new PC and it has Windows 7. Old HP LaserJet 5 p printer has always worked with last PC (XP). This printer uses the parallel so purchased and plugged port with a parallel to USB printer cable. Thought everything was cool when it seemed that the printer was recognized as "new device" but would not print my Word document. Review of the Panel's PC recognized some other strange printer, so it has been deleted and I used the troubleshooter to find and download the old printer driver. PC now shows the correct printer but my documents still won't print. What can / should I do for these 2 working together? Don't want to have to buy a new printer just to get something that works with 7.
I was too frustrated. Finally, I solved the problem. I bought a parallel to USB cable head Gear. First attempts do not work. Unplug the printer from the computer. That removing all printers (some I just created trying). Make sure that you do not have the test pages in the queue (cancel all), otherwise impossible to remove printer. Also update windows drivers (to add the printer section). Turn off the computer. Connect printer USB available on the computer again. Turn on computer. And. You DID!

PC can connect to the printer, but Mac cannot even with updated drivers.
We have an HP Photosmart Premium C309g, which is connected to a Cisco Linksys EA2700 wireless router. The printer connects easily to the PC with windows 7. However on macs with Lion, the printer will be displayed when you type the IP address in the browser. However when you try to load the printer it does not appear. If you use the IP address to load it does not connect to the printer. He used to work. The only changes are a new PC and a new wireless router. I tried to update the drivers and software on the Mac. It did not help. Still the same problem.
Hello
Unlike Windows, peripheral Apple uses Hello (which is based on the multicast) to connect with the HP device over the wireless network.
As far as I'm aware routers Linksys not configured for multicast by its default value.
Try the following and check to see if that can help you:
- Enter the router from your browser homepage.
- Enter in the Security tab,
- Check filter multicast.
- CLCK save changes.
- Reboot the router and check any change.
Kind regards

Hi Zyfot,
First of all, I would say that you add the printer on the vista computer and check.
1. open Printers by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, hardware and soundand then click Printers.
2. click on Add a printer.
3. in the Add Printer Wizard, select Add a network, wireless or Bluetooth printer.
4. in the list of available printers, select the one you want to use, and then click Next. If your computer is connected to a network, only printers listed in Active Directory for your domain are displayed in the list.
5. If prompted, install the printer driver on your computer. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
6. follow the steps in the wizard and then click Finish.Install a printer on a home network

A print spooler is the service that temporarily stores the disk printing hard or in memory until the printer is ready to print.
You must be logged on as administrator to perform these steps.1. open Administrative Tools by clicking the Start button, then Control Panel. In the search box, type Administrative Tools, and then click Administrative Tools.
2. double-click on Services. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
3. right click on the print spooler service, and then click Properties.
4. under the tab general , next to Startup type, make sure that Automatic is selected.
5. If the service is not already running, under Service status, click Startand then click OK. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.I hope this helps!

Unable to connect to my printer - operation failed with error 0x00000002
My printer was working with my laptop via a wireless network. Now I can't print or connect to my printer. I'm always connected to the network, but I can't connect to the printer. When I try to add it, I can see the name of the printer and I select it, but I get the error "Windows cannot connect to the printer" [operation failed with error 0x00000002]. I changed from Windows Vista to Windows 7, several months ago, but I don't know if that makes a difference (I think I used printer at least once since I change). Help, please.
