HP Laser Jet 4250 printer: 2 computer connected to a HP laser jet printer

I have a HP Color laser jet 4250 printer.  It has a USB HP (not the typical style of the USB) and a compatible port IEEE 1284 b also.  Can I connect 2 computers using these two ports without hurting the printer?  If so, the two computers can print to the printer and have the printer queue work?

Hello

It is a very old and very good printer. How can you find a job for parallel port is another story, but the statement, you can use the USB connection or parallel to share. It has an embedded print server, HP Jetdirect Fast Ethernet integrated so my suggestion: it allows to connect to more than 1 computer:

Kind regards.

    a. click Start , click devices and printers.

    b. right-click on the printer and select printer properties.

    c. click on the Ports tab, and then select Configure the Port.

    d. uncheck the box for SNMP status allow.

  • How can I connect my Mac to a network server? As in windows yo go to my computer / connection to a network drive, and then you select a letter and write the name of the server that you want to be logged

    I'm trying to adapt Windows to my new MacBook Pro with OS El Capitan.

    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.

    There is no "letter" under OS X. It's a hangover very old of BACK, devices of mapping and volumes labeled mailbox.

    If you are connected to your corporate network, you should see the available network volumes listed in the Finder, in ' my computer > network ", or with the command K to connect to a server.

    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.

  • Computer connects to the Internet on all networks, except one

    A few days ago my computer stopped at random to connect to the internet via an Ethernet cable in my apartment.  It works very well, continuously for more than a year.  I first thought the network was down, but to verify ports three separate wall in our apartment (including the one in question) computer of my roommate and his computer connected perfectly.

    My computer can still connect to other networks (different buildings) both via radio and connected via Ethernet, if this isn't a hardware problem.  Currently, we have a wireless router configuration in our apartment that my computer can connect to.  For some reason when I am connected to the network via an Ethernet cable, the computer cannot access the internet.
    When connected, the State jumps back between "Internet access" and "no Internet access.  I tried to ping www.google.com and several other IPs known without success.  Works fine when I go wireless.
    I tried the following, without success:
    Reinstalled drivers for network cards
    Reset the network settings
    Reset Windows sockets
    Enabled IPv4 and IPv6
    Add favorite DNS servers (google and a few others)
    Restart
    System restore
    If anyone has any ideas, I can provide more information, if it helps...
    Thank you

    The problem was somewhat resolved.  When the connection to the Local network has been filled with the wireless network connection, the Internet took over.  I unplugged the router wireless and internet still works, so I'll consider it a success so far.

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Disable-antivirus-software.

    Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  • HP Laser Jet 4250 printer: installation Laser Jet 4250 Windows 10

    Laser Jet 4250 is compatible with windows 10?

    If you still can not get the printer to work with usb, this printer has 2 EIO slots, and you can use one of these locations to insert a network card EIO (610N, 615N and 620N) which are not that expensive on ebay. Once you install the network card, you will be able to connect the printer to your router or switch if you have one and then have computers attached to the printer by using tcp/ip.

  • Direct print from laptop computer connection

    I have a laptop HP with windows 7 32 bit and the designjet 650 c B model with an installed direct jet card, so I a usb converter cable network I want to print from a usb port or from the port of network cable. I just want to know what is called the port that I use? Help, please!

    You have a wireless router?  I have a Designjet 650 c connected to my router with a LAN cable, can I access the 650 c of my HP laptop wireless via the router.

    If you follow this path, you will get an IP address for the Designjet 650 c by selecting Prev in the menu until you get to the entrance, the top menu can go down three times for installing I/O, entry, entry (modular), entrance (network Cfg = >), down Yes, Prev, Prev, Prev, entrance, entry, down arrow twice for utilities Entry, arrow down twice for Config plot, Enter.

    That you select the jetdirect card like I/O device, get an IP address from the router and then print a configuration page that displays the IP address to halfway to the bottom of the page.

    On laptop computer click Start, devices and printers, do a right-click on the Designjet 650 c, printer, port properties, add a Port, Port TCP/IP Standard, new Port, following, then enter the IP config page printed.  For me, it comes to 192.168.1.13.  Enter the appropriate value, Next, Finish.

    If you do not have a router then consider making an inexpensive wireless router that could be wired to the Designjet and wireless for the laptop.  It would probably be a much better solution than to try to make a converter USB - lan.
