How better to connect a parallel to a network printer

We have two laptops running Windows 7 and a parallel printer of HP Color LaserJet 5 1996...

No laptop computer has parallel port... We also have a D-Link 4 port ethernet router

The love printer... want to keep...

Barros,

Thanx. I had this awhile ago, and you helped me. I hope this can end by in the Knowledge Base of HP for other...

(1) I bought a few parallel to add to my existing parallel cable adapter USB...

(2) discovered that even if a parallel to USB cable (before), I bought worked on port USB001, both locally and across a network of small residential group...

(3) when I did the parallel cable adapter it failed UNTIL I chose USB003 as my choice of Port. Odd. Maybe you can shed some light on why this is true...

(4) BUT, when I chose USB003 it works across the network like the old gal good she is...  "Puff" is with me since 2000 and I love her... like part of the family. My yorkshire terrier was born in December 2000.
-----

Now the caveat...

(1) I use a Dell with Windows 7 64 bit laptop

(2) HP and Microsoft to the has a HP Color LaserJet 5 PCL printer driver (ironically, MS has one for the Postscript module, BUT not for the most popular PCL default).

(3) after having tried all the MS Windows driver color laser options updated...  I landed successfully.

(4) I use as my choice of printer driver... drum roll please...  HP LaserJet III (three), which is from late 80 (I used to sell them) and is of course black & white only.

(5) I print graphics and text without fault.

Please post for others...

    I work remotely for a company and I want to connect my Mac to the server of the company.

    My question is how to connect a MAc to a network drive with the permanently available connection.  For example, in my old HP I went to my computer / connection to a network drive. I've selected a letter and note the name of the server that I wanted to be connected to. The connection was then shown with my other drive hard 'sections '; I want to say C:, D: (for recovery), e: (for tools) and then connecting to the external server has been shown with the selected letter.

    You can create an alias for the volume and put it in the Dock, or leave on the desktop or put it somewhere else, and the next time you want to connect to this subject, simply double-click on it. You can also add the server address to your "favourites" in the connect to Server dialog box.

  • How can I connect Windows XP to several networks, Wi - Fi for internet and the other for file sharing?

    On windows XP, I need to connect to two different networks. Free wifi for the internet and the other for file sharing.

    Different gateways, different static address, same subnet mask. But there is problem when operating simultaneously and must

    a network must be disabled. Is it possible to run simultaneously?

    original title: served various networks simultaneously on windows xp

    Go to where you have configured the static IP addresses for your network adapters.  Leave the "default gateway" blank for your local file sharing adapter and insert a valid default gateway for your wifi Internet adapter.  Of course, this will limit your adapter in a single subnet - which should be OK for use at home or small office to share local files.

    This should work as long as the two physical subnets have two different subnet numbers. In general, this means that the first three digits of the IP address of the adapter can not be the same on both adapters - if they are, then you need to make one of the subnets. (i.e. one is 192.168.1.xxx and the other would be 192.168.2.xxx).  This is usually accomplished in the router configuration page.

  • How can I connect Vista PC to the network?

    I have a Windows Vista laptop, a Windows 7 netbook and desktop Windows 8.1 that all connect to the WiFi network in our House OK.

    On the desktop, I created a homegroup with a password, and can easily access and exchange of files between the netbook and desktop computer (Windows 7 and 8.1 respectively).

    However, when I try to access the desktop from the laptop, Vista asks me a username and password and I have no idea what username and password he wants. I tried every username that I can think of, and the only password I can think, which is one for the homegroup on the desktop, and nothing seems to work.

    I have worked on the Microsoft Web site to set up a Vista machine Exchange files with another machine, the instructions, but can't take the step that says: 'asks to enter the user name and password.

    Please can someone help me, because I'm out of ideas.

    Thanks in anticipation,

    Mike

    You mentioned in your original post that you have set up a homegroup.  Unfortunately, VISTA is NOT compatible to work in a residential setting.  The only way you can add to a network is to create the normal type of the Working Group (Home Network) network.  I hope this helps.  Get back to me if you need help.

    Hello Stephen,

    You did mention the operating system installed in the laptop. Provide that information will help you provide better assistance.

    Basically, if your laptop and the printer are connected to the same network (or even router), you can configure and connect to this printer as a network printer in the laptop. The article I'm referring below has a tutorial on how to connect printers (Local and network), please go through the information in there and see if it helps you as well.

    Have you read the manual of the printer?  Have you contacted HP?

    Generic help is all that we can give you.  You better go to HP, BUT the first thing you need to do is to install the printer driver.

    Most often when a device does not work, it is because the driver is damaged. Re-install a new copy should help

  • How can I connect to someone who is hacking my network?

    How can I connect to someone who is hacking my network?

    Hi Frank,.

    What kind of network - your internet connection?  your intranet from home or the office (and it is wireless or wired or both)?  An ad - hoc network or a network based on the domain server (and if the latter, what type of server)?  The network hosts a web site, an exchange server that is accessible by internet, or also allowed incoming connections?  How many computers is on the network and what are the current use operating systems and who do you think are presented?  If you use a router, is protected by a router security identifier unique and a password (no admin / admin or other default standard settings, everyone knows) and a unique key and what type of security type (WPA, WPA2,...) and what type of encryption code?  This can be verified by the computer and others need to be checked or enabled via the router you can reach most likely through your browser by typing 192.168.1.1 where you would normally enter a URL.  If this isn't the correct code, then see below for IPCONFIG and would probably be the address that you want as the gateway by default and possibly the address of the DHCP server or the DNS server address as well and use what is there instead.  What type of method of internet access (DSL, cable, Satellite,...)?

    How do you know if that someone is hacking your system?  What evidence do you have that it happens or happened?  How do you think that piracy happens - happens through your connections in real-time (as if someone used a remote access or remote desktop) or it occurs because you seem to see the proof of it (if so, what evidence)?  I am trying to determine if a person has a path in your system directly or whether you are infected with malware that allows a periodic access or 'appear' as you are being hacked, when you are just infected.

    Do you notice it when it is real or only later after it occurred?  What exactly is the pirate make - information collection, change of information, install programs, remove programs or information, theft of bandwidth, or you are not sure and don't know exactly?  This happens only when you are connected to the internet or does it also occur when you are not connected and just using the computers and devices that are other interconnected?  If it isn't when it is connected to the internet, which helps limit the possibilities.

    If you are present and it's ongoing, click on start / all programs / accessories / right-click on command prompt and click Run as administrator.  Then type IPCONFIG/all and enter.  Which should display all connections to your computer, and if anyone is connected, this connection must appear, as well as login information and include information such as address TCP/IP (which may be useful to know).  Create a capture image or printscreen of the information.

    If you use Vista or Windows 7, go to start / Control Panel / Network and sharing Center / discover computers and devices.  Is there a link that doesn't seem right or that you don't recognize?  Come back and click on manage network connections.  Are there connections that you don't recognize?  If so, click on them and learn what you can about the properties and other information - create a capture of information or save a printscreen image.

    You use the Windows Firewall and is it activated and functioning?  Open and check exceptions and remove the items that you do not use or do not need - by default adds a lot of things that most people do not use. and everyone is a path in your system.  The less open ports, the better.  Do not remove everything you really need, but uncheck everything you don't need (you can always add it back later if the need ever happens).

    It's just a start on what to do to gather information.  I need the results and answers to give additional advice on what to do next - depending on what you have to say.

    Most likely, we will be able to best prevent access or possibly with the help of your ISP and the ISP of the hacker TCP/IP address (if we find the it), be able to identify who it is and stop it or help you gather enough information take legal or security action against the person or persons responsible.  Ago probably pirates out there that can do what you're tempted, but also provides methods of hacking (and that is basically what YOU want to do) is not something we support or help someone to do here.  To help you protect your system is one thing and we'll do what we can to help here - teach you how to hack the somone who is hacking you is quite another and we will not be involved in this.

    ***********************************************************

    In the meantime, in case there is an infection as opposed to a direct hacking, update and run a full scan with any security software you use.

    If you do not have because they can help, try the following programs. I recommend you download, install, update and run full scans with Malwarebytes:http://www.malwarebytes.org/ and SuperAntiSpyware:http://superantispyware.com/ and then run a full scan of Microsoft Security:http://www.microsoft.com/security/default.aspx.

    Check the following compliments from Stephen Boots - MVP:

    S ' ensure that the Windows Firewall is enabled.

    S ' ensure that all critical updates or important, including service packs for the operating system and programs are installed from Microsoft Update (Windows Update).

    -Make sure that Internet Explorer is version 8 or 9 and implemented to date with all patches.

    -In Internet Explorer 8 or 9, use the SmartScreen filter.

    -Make sure that the Internet IE security settings are at least put to fire medium-high (default).

    -Turn on the pop-up blocker in Internet Explorer.

    -On Vista and Windows 7 make sure that User Account Control (UAC) and doesn't work with elevated privileges.

    -Make sure that automatic updates of Windows are set to notify at least, but the preferred setting is to download and install automatically. If you update manually, be sure to update as soon as possible after being informed of updates available.

    -Make sure that installed applications, including Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Flash and Java are at their latest versions. Many vendors are regularly updated and fixes security vulnerabilities.

    -Never click through links from unknown sources and be careful, even if they are from a "reliable".

    -Do not open attachments in unsolicited e-mail.

    -Practice safe web surfing.

    To ensure that you are not infected (or remove the suspicion that you are infected which is often the case in such situations and is done either by hackers or may appear as the pirates are active when it is just a system infected - or if more than one, you have several computers connected), please follow these compliments of recommendations of JimR1 - MVP :
