How to add a network printer?

How can I add a network printer?

The printer has a wired connection to a router.  Its local IP address is 192.168.1.105.  The name of the printer is NPI64867B.

My laptop has a wireless connection to the same router.  Of course, access to the network works fine, since I can submit this announcement.  Also, I can ping the IP address of the printer from the laptop.

I have in the control panel printers, click Add printer, select "A network printer", select "Browse for printer", then click Next.  The following text is displayed:

Note that NPI64867B does not appear in the list "shared printers.  Does?

If I manually enter NPI64867B in the box of the printer and click Next (which should work?), I get the following error:

If it's important, I have another printer in network configured on the computer.  It's for another domestic network, so it is not connected now.  The name of the printer is NPI6AAA13.  I deselected the option 'Always print to this device, even if its IP address changes', nothing helps.

The port of the existing network printer name is the name of the printer, HPLaserJet200colorMFPM276nw product.  The printer I am trying to add has the same product name.  Is this a problem?  If so, can I change the name of an arbitrary name (currently unused) pre-existing port?

Do this way:

  1. Open Printers and faxes
  2. Click on add a printer
  3. Click "Next", select "local printer" and make sure the box "Automatically detect my printer Plug-and-Play" is NOT checked
  4. Click "Next", select "create a new port", then select "Standard TCP/IP port" in the drop-down list (Note - If the printer that you are adding is an HP printer and if the drop-down list includes "HP Standard TCP/IP Port" select that instead; more details later)
  5. Click 'Next' in the standard TCP/IP Printer Port Wizard Welcome screen
  6. For "printer name or IP address" type 192.168.1.105; the "Name of Port" box is filled in automatically, but you can change it to something more useful, like Office LaserJet or a printer room bedroom, etc..
  7. Before you click 'Next', confirm that the printer is turned on
  8. Click 'Finish' to complete her Add Port Wizard and return to the add a Printer Wizard
  9. Select your model and the manufacturer of the printer and the wizard

A very common problem with the printers on a network that are left at the default setting for automatically an IP address is that they have a different IP address by the DHCP server on the router if the printer is turned off for a period of time.  The Windows printing system does not detect IP address changes, and therefore the communication with the printer is lost.  'HP Standard TCP/IP Port' has the ability to detect the printer, even if its IP address changes.  You should definitely select this option or - and this is the best practice - assign a static IP address for printers all in network.

  • Add a network printer by using different credentials in Windows Vista Home Premium

    Hello

    I am trying to add a shared network printer (from server) of a computer running Windows Vista Edition Home Premium. The user must authenticate by using different credentials, but I can't find a way to force Vista to connect with different credentials.
    In Windows 7, it's easy, I just add an entry in the credentials manager and everything works, I can connect to the server, access to all of the actions that the user has access to and add the printer.
    In Windows Vista, I can't do that. "" If I try to add a network of credentials in the "stored user names and passwords", I can only add a "a Web site or program identification information. "A credential to Windows logon" is greyed out.
    When I try to access the share in Windows Explorer, I get an access denied. Instead of having Windows pop up a dialog to authenticate, he tries just to the help of the currently connected user credentails, which isn't what I want.
    If I try to add the printer using the Add Printer Wizard-> add a network printer, when I enter the path to the printer, I also have an access denied instead of bring up a Windows authentication dialog box.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!
    Thank you!

  • Cannot add a network printer

    I have a problem with the printer! I have a network printer connected to my router via ethernet. I use the printer via wifi of two macbooks.

    I got an error 'printer not connected' and have already tried the following several times:

    • reset the router
    • restarted the printer
    • Reset my printing system
    • renamed the folder library/printers
    • reinstalled my driver of Canon software
    • fact a boot secured my MacBook, then a normal departure

    When I try to add the printer again (of course it was removed by rebooting) I don't see anything via Bonjour (in the default tab). The printer has a valid address (via DHCP) and I can ping to my macbook. I also tried to add the printer through the address IP (IPP) - it does not print.

    I get all printing stations I can find no joy... help please!

    This morning, I tried to add a printer, and - as the magic - my printer appears in the window by default. Quickly, I added, print a test page, and then other PDF via Preview. Awesome! Then I tried to print a poster with Acrobat Reader, and I'm back for the message "printer not connected" that marked the beginning of my problems a week ago. Again, I have reset the printing system, even reinstalled two versions (more recent and earlier) drivers. I can ping the printer, but cannot add via IP either.

    I searched more problems and solutions print, but in vain.

    Help, please!

  • Failed to add the network printer

    Hello

    We have a client that connects to our ERP system to print orders.  They connect through a VPN site-to-site and then access our system through an RDP connection to a server 2008R2 instance.  The printer is a HP LaserJet 4100tn

    When I first set up in the spring I was intending to use the easy print with the redirect to printer driver to print orders.  However exceptionally slowly printed orders and I was not able to determine why.  Instead I've implemented their LaserJet as a local printer on our desktop server remotely using a HP LaserJet 4100 Series PCL6 driver.  It worked perfectly, and they have been printing without problem until yesterday.

    Yesterday for some reason any printer stopped working.  On our Remote Desktop server, it appeared as grayed out with an exclamation mark above.  I did the following diagnosis:

    > They can print from their own local office it
    > They changed and turn it on again
    > I can ping the printer from our server OK
    > I can get on the web interface of the printer OK from our server
    > Restart our server remote desktop
    > Turn off the Windows Firewall on the Remote Desktop server

    I therefore decided to remove the printer and add it again.  I go through the configuration wizard Windows printer usual choosing to do a new TCP/IP port, but when I put the IP address of the printer in Windows says that it is not the printer on the network (photo attached).

    I tried to delete the printer port which has been associated with this printer and remove the driver but Windows still won't "see" the printer.

    I am able to configure this printer on other servers from RD (2003 and 2008) and I also tried setting up on an old XP box, I had to hang out without problem.  Curiously, it seems only that this server is the only one that I can not set up the new even if it can ping the printer OK.

    I found a troubleshooting printer HP hereWeb page but who was no help, and the software does not work on Windows Server versions.

    Don't know what to do next!

    This was solved by changing the IP address of the printer

    After changing the IP address, I was able to add the printer to the server OK.

    I wasn't able to find out why this is the case, but guess it is some incorrect IP or the information stored in the registry.

  • The password is required to add a network printer?

    Hello

    I am trying to set up a printer on our work network. I am running windows xp pro as well as other users using xp and windows 7. I have a HP Laserjet 1018 connected to my PC via USB and it prints well. The problem occurs when users try to add this printer to their PC. I put the same WORKING Group on all PCs. I enabled "use simple file sharing" in the Panel.  Users with windows 7 do not detect even the printer. Users with windows xp detects the printer, but when trying to add, a password is requested. I don't know what password it refers. We have a 2nd printer connected to another PC users and which works very well on the network.
    I read tutorials but can't seem to find what is the question. Please point me in the right direction to get this updated printer in place on our network.
    Thanks for the help

    Thanks for the info. I managed to finally solve my problem. As I said, I did have a password administrator has access to my PC, but all other PCs asks for a password when you try to add the printer connected to my PC.

    I decided to give a password to my account and curiously, it worked after that. Other users could add my printer without hassle.
