ethernet and usb printer

I have a beautiful deskjet 6940 on a network, but after the passage of XP, I need to take a computer on the internet.  They therefore have no Ethernet access to the printer. I thought thati f I had to install the printer on the XP computer via usb, then I don't have to buy a printer separated for a computer, I only use it as backup and rarely would have to print from.

Question: can I install the USB driver on the XP computer and retain access to the printer, while he remains a shared for other computers network printer?  I thought if necessary, unplug the ethernet cable, computer XP link to printer with USB cable and print that way.  Or settings changed the printer and cause havoc?

This mixed use, if possible, how to install safely on the XP computer?  Uninstall all the drivers first, and then reinstall it from old records or internet? Or uninstall the old drivers after installing new?

Thanks for reading.

Hi ellengoudsmit,

You can use the printer while it is connected via USB to a computer and network with others. You should be able to install the software without having to uninstall anything. I recommend the software downloaded from the Web site to ensure you have the latest version.

  • Impossible to install the driver Windows 7 for my Canon MF4150 USB printer and scanner-worked in XP

    Original title: Windows 7 x 64 Windows printer problems is not able to resolve

    The scanner and my Canon MF4150 USB printer was working fine with my Windows XP computer.

    I got a new computer with Windows 7 x 64 OS and I can't get the printer to work.

    I downloaded the printer driver specified for Windows 7 x 64.

    The installation program is not accepted as I get a message that the resource file are not available.

    I then added the printer manually without success.

    The strange thing is that it shows in devices and printers but nothing prints.

    Initially, it has the usual green check that the default printer then becomes a warning sign yellow when I try to print.

    Right-click on the printer and select "Printer properties" and select "Canon MF4100 series UFRII LT" in the SUP menu if it exists, this name may be different in your machine. After the Properties window shows tab select the 'Port '. change the port to another USB port (the one that the printer is connected to), and then apply the changes. Your problem should be solved.

    Plug your AirPort Extreme

    Before you plug your AirPort Extreme, rst plug cables appropriate to the ports you want to use:

    • Connect the Ethernet cable connected to your cable or DSL modem (if you will connect to the Internet) on port Ethernet WAN (<).

    • Connect a USB cable to the USB port (d) on your AirPort Extreme for a USB printer, a hard drive or a hub.

    • Connect an Ethernet cable from an Ethernet device to one of the ports LAN Ethernet (G). After connecting the cables for all devices, you plan to use, connect the power cord to the power socket and plug your AirPort Extreme into a power outlet. There is no power switch.

      Important: Use only the power cord provided with your AirPort Extreme.

      When you plug in the AirPort Extreme power cord into a power outlet, the indicator light turns amber when starting, then amber ash during installation. The status led lights green once your AirPort Extreme is configured and connected to the Internet or a network.

      When you connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet ports, the lights above them glow green.

  • Can my older extreme join network of my new extreme and provide printing as an Express services?

    Hello to you all, kind-Apple-help-people...

    So, I just got a refurbed Time Capsule/Extreme to replace my old, short ' squat extreme n.  I have the new network that all together up and happy, no worries.

    Back in the day, I used to have a fleet of 1 St gen expresses established providing the air in different rooms and connected to the printer in the office. They disappeared for a long time now, but it occurred to me that it would be nice if I could put my older extreme, now retired, to such use.  I want to put in the office and my printer on the USB port.  I really didn't need to "extend" the network or anything fancy.  With my old man expresses, I just put them up to 'join' the existing network.  This "join an existing network" doesn't seem to be an option available when I run today Airport utility.  Can I do this?

    Sorry, but no. You can't have an AirPort Extreme 'join a wireless network' for the purposes of sharing printers or hard disks. At best, you could connect by Ethernet to your Time Capsule to this effect.

    Until yesterday, I had a printer is connected (USB connection) to a Time Capsule, and our laptop Windows 7 given the printer and would print it. But due to persistent problems with airport part not always wanted to connect with our satellite internet, I went to a separate router and the stop of the part of the airport. The Mac has been able to print to the printer, but the Win7 PC could not. Then I moved the printer (USB connection) to the iMac, but I still can't the Win7 PC to see the printer.

  • Restoration of Ethernet and Firewire

    On his return from holiday, I restarted my iMac G5 to find as well (my ADSL modem) connections, Ethernet and Firewire (for my laptop) missing.

    The message of the network status preferences window is "Firewire/Ethernet cable is not plugged. Not true!   Connection Wi - fi to the modem and the computer laptop is still OK.

    In addition, the iMac can't be put to sleep from the Apple menu or the keyboard (cmd-opt-ejection) or the Start button.  You must close it.

    I reinstalled the OS from my CD "MacOSXUpdCombo10.4.11PPC" but the problem persists, and it has other side effects (logging on and in, difficulties of printing etc..).

    The ADSL modem is OK because the laptop still has its Ethernet and Wi - fi Internet access.  And the modem can see the Ethernet connection to the iMac, but not vice versa.

    Where from here?

    Can I drive in the wrong direction here, but have you checked the PRAM Battery? I don't know if LANDAU has nothing to do with the problems that you encounter, but if the computer was turned off and unplugged the principal while you were on vacation the LANDAU could be corrupted.

  • I'm on a mac and my printer does not print

    I'm on a mac and it sends the document to my printer (Hp Photosmart 4680 all-in-one), but the printer does not print. My printer worked fine and now it will not print. I'm doing something wrong. This has happened once before and I am frustrated with and left for about 2 days, I had tried everything I could think of, unplug the unit for an hour or more, uninstalling and reinstalling, checked ink levels they were very good. Then all of a sudden, he started working again. I turned on my computer and the printer, and surprisingly it comes to start printing. Does anyone else have this problem? If so what do you have? Or someone has any suggestions of what I can hurt!

    Thank you

  • Damage to LAN and USB on the left side of the Satellite A300 PSAGCA

    Hello!

    I have a toshiba satellite A300 and awhile back he had a fall and had damage to the ethernet port and USB ports on the left side of the laptop.
    Ethernet still works when the position but the cord torn and the ethernet is no longer rest in.
    2 USB ports work barely often or not at all but there's no visible damage, but can be on the top of the curcuit Board. I opened.

    I was wondering what would be the best way to fix it.
    I opened it now, as said, but decided to post on here before thinking to look further for damages and resolve.

    I want to know what I can fix it, it seems that the ethernet port is welded (how ever) there and would need to replace the whole motherboard. Is it so?

    See you soon.

    Lee.

    Hi, Peggy

    I think that you can't do anything :(
    Simple components such as LAN or USB ports are part of the motherboard and I doubt you could replace or repair easily
    An electrician who has a few years of experience with these motherboards may be able to fix it, but I doubt that a common user like me or you'll fix it

    In my opinion, the motherboard must be replacaced

  • Tecra A8: Problem with the USB printer connected to the Port Replicator III

    Hi all

    I have a problem with my Tecra A8, year Advanced Port Replicator III and a USB printer. With the printer connected to a USB port on the Port Replicator, I have to wait 2 minutes for printing to start. When it is connected directly to a USB port on the laptop and the laptop disconnected from the Port, printing starts immediately. I have the latest drivers from the Isensys of Canon LBP 2900 installed and Windows Vista professional as the operating system.

    I called the technical support of my country, but her is not recorded similar problems.

    A person with similar problem? Some help would be very appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Seems like a strange question... Already done the standard procedure in the event of such errors? :)

    The standard procedure is somehow similar to the following:

    -Update your BIOS
    -Update all the drivers for your machine
    -Update your printer drivers
    -Update your operating system

    If all else fails, then try an another Portrep if available, maybe you need to contact your dealer for an another portrep for the test.

    Something like this should be your way. And then you sucessfully made a TROUBLESHOOTIN´ ;)

    I'd be happy to hear feedback from you on your situation...

    Welcome them
