LaserJet m1212nf network - how to get the printer in a network?
I have a LaserJet Pro M1212nf, who does not have wireless capability. I'm on a desktop PC, Windows 7 and am connected with a USB cable from the computer to the printer. There is no other Windows 7 computers on this network, so so far I didn't have need of this feature.
I spent an hour trying to figure out how to be able to print from my iPad with Airprint, that comes with this printer.
The printer is shared, which I thought was enough, but apparently not. I found the instructions on the use of a printer wireless, which is not the case, and using an ethernet connection, which I am not, but nothing about the direct USB connection. I found instructions on changing a USB connection to an ethernet connection - this is what I have to do? I hope someone can help with this.
Should I switch from USB to ethernet to be seen on the computer network and iPad? There must be a way to do this, but I am confused.
Thank you.
You should be able to install the printer with the normal software via an Ethernet connection to your router.
To start sounds like it is a driver problem. I want to start to be sure that deleting the software and relocation happened in the best way possible. I want you to follow my steps, I can be sure that we start both on the same page.
First of all, if you use a USB cable, be sure to remove it (it's important). Do not plug it in again until the software instructs you. Through devices and printers, programs and features and issues Device Manager and make sure that all copies, files, and programs related to the printer are removed. As indicated, and then restart the computer.
In the menu START menu type "%temp%" and press ENTER. Here, I want you to press Ctrl + A, and press DELETE. Some files you cannot delete them, ignore these files and delete the majority that allows it to.
find and install SOFTWARE to FEATURE FULL if it is available:
http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&LC=en&DLC=en&product=3965849
Install and let me know the result!
Have a great day!

PS this software should include the installation via the USB port option and then convert to USB wireless > Wireless Setup Wizard.

Re: How to get the system running again on my laptop satellite
Everything ok and ongoing run (Vista 32 bit), also installing the update for Intel chipset seemed to agree,
but subsequently requested reboot does not work... and the horror began :(No matter if the hard drive is installed or not, following events occur after passing on: hhd light indicates activity, also for disk hard desinstallion (!), in the possible bios by F2, dvd lamp is lit and portable crashes.
What has gone wrong? How can I get the system running again?
TIA
The whole story is a bit confusing for me. I put t know how you came the idea to update the driver chipset if everything was OK. Vista is old BONES and it is unclear to me that Toshiba has offered some updates of the chipset.
What is confusing to me is the fact that you can not enter the BIOS settings.
When you start your laptop you see Toshiba welcome screen and the grey line down with info press F2 to enter the establishment or F12...?
What will happen after that? Display stays black or what?
What happens when you press F2, F8 or F12? Everything works? Can enter you in menu start or advanced startup options?Try please start your laptop with the recovery DVD and press C repeatedly on startup laptop. Check if the installation of recovery will recognize.
Post please a little detailed report. -

Want 5530: Get the printer code application for instant ink HP
Sorry its me again, I found the bit that says that I need to print a Web Services information sheet to getrequest to printer code. My question is now is that the only way to get a claim code?
Hi Sonicoffee,
You need get the ink cartridges before the printer can be set up.
New printers should come with cartridges. You can go back to where you bought your printer or buy cartridges online.
Good luck getting the printer all together to the top!

print module cannot get the printer device context
I can't get my printer to work. It seems that the computer does not recognize the printer when I plug. No printer symbol. then, when I try to print a square stands up and says 'printing module cannot get printer device context' I have no idea what this means or what to do about this please help
You need to get the print vendor drivers. You can try using a printer driver that converts data of the PDL even that interprets your device, but you should request this information from the company that made the device

Original title: new printer
I replaced a HP with an Epson Stylus all-in-one printer and cannot get the printer to print more than one page when printing from the computer. The printer works fine when printing from a laptop or ipad!
Start by going here--> http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?UseCookie=yes&oid=232591&prodoid=63099059&infoType=Downloads&platform=nodetect
If the web page has not correctly detected your operating system, select it by using the drop-down list. Rather than using the "Combo package" recommended but huge, expand the "Drivers" section and download driver printer v2.32 to a location that you will remember later.
- Click on the ORB start and go into devices and printers.
- Select (click) the icon of your Epson printer.
- Once you have selected the printer, a button labeled "Print server properties" will appear in the toolbar. Click on this button.
- Click the "Drivers" tab on the print server properties dialog box.
- Select the Epson printer in the list of installed printer drivers, and then click 'remove '.
- In the context menu, select "Remove driver and driver package" and click OK
- Click Yes, and then delete
- Once the removal process is complete, restart the computer (probably not really necessary, but can't hurt)
- Install the driver and the software using the file that you downloaded earlier
At this point, your printer should work fine. However, if you want the ability to print by emailing a file to your printer, you may need to install both 'Remote Printer Driver v1.65' in the category 'Pilot' and "v1.30 utility Configuration of printer Epson Connect" in the "Utilities" category

How to install (gdiplus.dll) to get the printer to work?
HP Presario cq62 notebook, HP deskjet 3845, windows7, error message reads as follows: gdiplus.dll is missing. How to install this to get the printer to work?
Hi RDT49,
Gdiplus.dll error messages may appear when using or installing some programs when Windows starts or shuts down, or maybe even during a Windows installation.
The context of the error in gdiplus.dll is a key piece of information that will be useful while solving the problem.
Cause of Gdiplus.dll errors
Gdiplus.dll errors are caused by situations that lead to the removal or corruption of the gdiplus.dll file
In some cases, gdiplus.dll errors could indicate a problem, a virus or malware Registry problem or even a hardware failure.
I recommend you contact the manufacture of your computer to help solve the missing DLL file problem.
