How to move a local network printer without having to reinstall the drivers

Hello

Is it possible to change a printer to a network printer on a local printer without having to reinstall the printer drivers?

The computer on which the printer (a Lanier LP116c PCL 5 c) is currently connected [directly] is running Win XP.  It is a stand-alone computer without any connectivity; network, internet ect.   He has no printer drivers installed because the computer had been connected to another computer by using working groups and was able to print at the Lanier through working groups.  But now that there is no longer connected to the 'network', but rather directly connected to the printer, it will not be printed.

I tried to change the properties of the driver to "tell the computer" that the printer is now connected directly however when I try to open the properties I: "printer properties cannot be displayed.  The print spooler service is not running.

How to 'know the computer' that the printer is now connected directly without having to reinstall the dirivers?

Thank you!

You have two questions.  One is assigning the correct port for the printer and the other is fixing what is originally the print spooler service to not run.

As much as I can give you guidelines on how solve the second problem, it will be much easier for you to uninstall and reinstall the printer (once the print spooler works again) that in order to create a "USB virtual port" which is what needs to be done unless the computer was once a printer connected by USB is installed.

Often, but not always, an order print spooler is the result of a corrupt print job stuck in the queue or a damaged printer driver.  However before you clean things up, on general principles, that you can download, install, update and run full scans with each of these two free programs:

AntiMailware MalwareBytes
SUPERAntiSpyware

Do not operate the two scans simultaneously.  Each will take a long time, so start it and then go do something else for a while.

Cleaning of printers

NOTE: If you have ever had (but retired) a Lexmark or Dell - badged Lexmark printer installed, the command "net start spooler" to step below may fail.  In this case, type the following line in the black command prompt window and then type the command "net start spooler" again:

dependent on the spooler of sc config = RPCSS

Note that there is no space before the =

If still no joy, use the alternative method that is linked below.

A. Clean on print jobs pending

  • Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
  • Type the following in the black command prompt window, and then press ENTER after each line

net stop spooler
del/q '% windir%\system32\spool\PRINTERS\*.* '.
net start spooler
output

B. clean the old printer drivers and install the latest drivers by using the directions in One Article.

Alternative to the method of his first Article: http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/CleanPrinterDrivers.htm

Once the print spooler has started, click Start > printers and faxes, right click on the Lanier printer icon and select properties and select the Ports tab.  If you already have a USB connected printer installed on this computer, there should be a port named USBnnn.  If there is, check the box and OK your way out and your printer should now print when connected by USB.  If there is no USB port listed, then do the reinstall as explained in an Article.  The driver install package available here should create and install the USB port for you: http://www.lanier.com/downloads/driverFrame.aspx?path=http://support.aficio.com/bb/html/dr_ut_e/lan_u/model/c30e/c30een.htm

  • HP envy 4500: direct printing without having to change the wifi to printer

    To print on a HP Envy 4500 from an Air iPad with iOS8, should I switch my network wifi to the printer whenever I want to print something?
    For example through my email, there are several emails, each with an attachment that I I want to print. I choose my network WiFi, open the email attachment, return to wifi-changing the settings of printer-go back to the document and print it. Wait for it to print. To return to the e-mail, I return to settings-wifi-changes in my next email open network. Then go through the process of return to the printer.
    There must be a simpler way to use "direct print", but when I try to print in the document, he says "no printer found AirPrint."
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello CdnCreekers,

    It seems to me that you print to the printer WiFi Direct printing option. There is an easier way...

    To begin with, I would turn off WiFi directly from the front panel of the printer > select direct WiFi, then turn it off.

    I assume you already have your printer connected to your wireless network, if that's the case, then you just need to print from your iPad. The iPad must be on the same network as the printer to use Apple's Airprint wireless.

    WiFi Direct is a great option for guests to use, but you don't need to have it on in order to print wirelessly on your printer.

  • How to switch my system on a larger hard drive without having to reinstall the OS and lose my data?

    replace the hard drive

    I'm looking to replace my hard drive but I need all the files it is about it, passing a small hard drive to a larger hard drive. My question is how can I save all the files on the disk and how can I get the operating system on the new hard drive without the original disk

    If your current system does not work, there is no need to bother with data backup, installation of applications and get a Windows XP installation CD (although regular backups are important to do as a general practice).

    Instead, clone your current hard drive to your new hard drive.  All you need is an external hard drive enclosure and disk cloning software.  In addition, once you have made sure that everything works correctly, put the old drive in the external box and use it for backups.

    Some of the cloning apps below are also disk 'images' (e.g. Acronis True Image).  A disk image can be compressed so that, for example 58 GB of data can produce a 40 GB image file.  Some of the apps, and of also can selectively backup specified files.

    The housings of external drives more to connect to a USB port.  Make sure just that buy you one with the good 'form factor' (portable = 2.5 inches, computer desktop/Tower = 3.5 inches) and internal drive connector.  Many but not all speakers can deal with SATA and PATA time.

    This example (for laptops) is not the less expensive external hard drive enclosure, but it's a decent case that can be used with either SATA or IDE (PATA) drives and comes with its own software package of cloning: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817155602

    It is a very good buy for a drive IDE (PATA) Office size: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817155602

    In general, Newegg is a good place for your search options by looking at the comments by users.

    If you have a Western Digital hard drive, you can get a version of Acronis True Image free of WD (http://support.wdc.com/product/downloaddetail.asp?swid=119) or you can get the software of cloning separately (this is not an exhaustive list and in no particular order, some are free, some not):

    Paragon Drive Copy or Partition Manager Personal
    Casper

  • How can I replace a source element without having to redo the iMovie project?

    When exporting an iMovie project, I detected that a source element had bad images and export could not comlete (error 10008). I fixed the file and replaced it within the overall project. But after that iMovie refuses to play this clip during the opening of the new project - it shows an exclamation point in the chronology and the message "the clip has changed."

    Is there a way to replace an element in the project?

    A few facts:

    • The clips are AVI containers
    • I used Yodot AVI repair to remove the bad images
    • The repaired file use the same as the original codecs
    • version of iMovie: 10.1.1

    Yes.  With the Finder, drag the clip fixed everywhere where it is saved until it is placed on the old item in project.  When a green plus sign appears next to the cursor let go of the mouse button and you will get a menu.  Click "replace".  The duration and all connected titles, glitches or audio should not be affected.

  • How to force refresh user OAM changes without having to restart the server?

    Hi people,

    I have an OAM authorization rule based on the ldap user attribute (it is url for ldap query under 'Allow access', rule, that is ldap: / /... with a Cache update is enabled) with the hardcoded value, so that only users with these attributes can access protected resources. My problem is that if I add/remove the attribute via the User Manager console, it does not take effect until I have actually restart the access server. I can, however, locking/unlocking the account of the user through Manager users with immediate effect.

    Any help is appreciated.
    Thank you, novel

    Hi Roman,

    There is no problem to run OAM identity and access servers on the same machine, with some ports you choose. I suspect that the problem is that AccessGate the identity of the server is (incorrectly) set up to talk to port 6021 - If Yes, this will be reflected in the identity\AccessServerSDK\oblix\lib\ObAccessClient.xml file and can be corrected by running the configureAccessGate command. There are additional steps to get the automatic hunting at work (in addition to the definition of the parameter doAcessServerFlush) - did you follow the documentation for these?

    Kind regards

  • CS5 built and deployed with "Disable AAM."  How to enable updates without having to reinstall?

    I used Adobe Enterprise Deployment Manager to create a package Design Premium CS5.  Now 6 users who have received this package report that they cannot update their own facilities.  I realized that a default build configuration has the box checked ' disable the MAO"!

    In the package build itself, there is a file called "optionxml.xml" that contains a line about updates, with a "remove = true" indicator is defined.  This seems to be only configurable during compile.

    Is it possible to change this on customers, once it is deployed, without having to reinstall the suite?

    Adobe has a TechNote to disable the AAM, the procedure might work in reverse, that is, to find and delete/rename AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat. See http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/850/cpsid_85016.html for more details

    The computer-wide disability

    To disable access to updates for all users on a given computer, administrators can create an admin preferences file. (This file disables access to updates both the help > menu updates, as well as automatic update of controls.) Create a text file named AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat with the following content:

    
    
         
    
         1
    
         
    

    Place the file in the following location:

    Mac OS / Library/Application Support/Adobe/AAMUpdaterInventory/1.0/AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat
    Windows XP and above C:\Program Files\Fichiers files\adobe\AAMUpdaterInventory\1.0\AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat
    Windows XP and higher (64-bit) C:\Program files (x 86) \common files\adobe\AAMUpdaterInventory\1.0\AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat

    Note: This will also prevent administrators to check updates and installation of updates through this verification of updates. This situation is easily dealt with by simply renaming the file AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat, run the update checking and installation with Adobe Application Manager, and then restore the file to its original name.

  • How to move apps CC to another folder without having to reinstall?

    Greetings,

    I use a MacBook Pro (which belongs to the company I work for) and I have a personal session on it. When I installed the applications Adobe CC (Lightroom + Photoshop) I did not pay attention where the applications will be installed (by default/applications folder). Now, I wish I could move the apps in my personal applications folder: / Users/Nicolas/Applications.

    I tried simply to drag and drop applications between the 2 folders that, but he did not, the action only aliases created in the last folder...

    Someone knows how to do this correctly?

    Hi Nicolas,.

    Without having to reinstall, it is not possible.

    You can change the installation location through the desktop Adobe CC application.

    Click the gear on the top icon right > select Preferences > section under the creative cloud, you can set the installation location.

    Kind regards

  • How can I configure a new TimeCapsule for an existing network without having to activate the internal networks?

    I tried to go in advance and choose "Add TimeCapsule to the existing network", but it keeps defaulting to 'add a new network '.

    without having to activate the internal networks?

    "Add TimeCapsule to the existing network.

    You cannot add a TC in an existing network, if there is.

    You must configure the TC for the network.

    It keeps default back to "add a new network.

    So, it's OK... The TC is part of an existing network or makes a new.

    You must connect to the TC network... either wireless or ethernet.

    However, you can manually configure the TC simply plug ethernet for example.

    See, cable using Time Capsule for Mac for backup only.

    The same can be done for the wireless... but a TC is really the bad device for backups if you don't have a network... It's cheaper, faster and more reliable by using a USB key.

  • Is it possible to move my SSD in AHCI mode without having to reinstall Windows 7?

    Before installing Windows 7, I entered the BIOS and changed my AHCI Mode IDE SDS for a reason any and I forgot to switch back. Now, I want to put in AHCI mode because it says online that AHCI mode could improve SDD/HDD performance considerably, compared to IDE mode. However, if the mode is enabled in AHCI mode, my Windows 7 will not able to start, so I continue to choose the IDE for my SDS mode.

    Is it possible to move my SSD in AHCI mode without having to reinstall Windows 7? Or is it really useful to change the return method? I have no hard drives except an SSD in my computer.

    See how you go with the options below-

  • How I bounce back without having to change the setting of 'Protection against overload only' amateur off EACH time?

    How I bounce back without having to change the setting of 'Protection against overload only' amateur off EACH time?

    This setting should be preserved, once you set it... so I'm not sure why you have to define every time...

    Then... Make sure that you put on ALL the tools of the art of logic in the preferences of LPX...

    Otherwise... you may need to reset the prefs of LPX... Put all the Tools Advanced again and the other preferences you have set... and see if that fixes things for you...

    You can resolve many issues by restoring Logic Pro X back to its original settings. This will not affect your media files. To reset your settings preferences of the user to Logic Pro X to their original state, do the following:

    1. Logic Pro X to quit smoking
    2. In the Finder, select go to folder menu reach.
    3. Type ~/Library/Preferences in the field 'go to folder '.
    4. Press the Go button.
    5. Delete the com.apple.logic10.plist file from the Preferences folder. Note that if you set custom shortcuts, it will reset to the default values. You can export your custom key as a preset before performing this step. See the Logic Pro X user manual for details on how to do this.
    6. If you are having problems with a control surface in Logic Pro X, you can also delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file in the Preferences folder.
    7. Restart the computer.

    Note: If you cannot find the files listed above, you don't follow the instructions properly!
