HP LaserJet M4345 MFP: Network printer problem: cannot print, but can ping

• Unable to connect to a network printer, but can see and discover

  I'd appreciate any help with this: I have exhausted my Google searches for most of the day, and Microsoft support articles are of course a great help.

  The problem: I have a printer installation on one of the XP Home computers in our home network (all the XP Home computers). I am trying to connect to this printer from another computer, but I'm unable to add through the "Add printer" Wizard While I can see the printer in the list of printers on a network (including two other printers on other machines that work), when I try to connect to this particular printer in question, I am struck with a challenge to connect with what seems to be the guest account on the computer. There is no password for this account so I leave the password blank, and I then told me that I do not have sufficient permissions. I don't know what to do.

  A few pieces of my Google-ing info that may be useful:

  (1) I made sure that the guest account is enabled and even perform the active command of the net user on the computer in question.
  (2) I use Windows Firewall and I said to turn on the printer and file sharing and have exceptions for such.
  (3) I use Microsoft Security Essentials.

  (4) given that it is XP Home of course I can't access everything related to security or other policy.

  In addition, whenever I try to access this computer on the Working Group, it says I have "insufficient permissions". I don't know what it means that I've never been specified no restrictions when I ran the Network Setup Wizard.

  Windows networking works better if you have matching user accounts password on each machine rather than try to rely on the guest account (which is a security hole).

  See the following tips from the old MS MVP Malke.  He's old, but it's always good.  Not everything can be applied to your situation; Take the parts that do.

  The best and simplest is to buy a wireless router. This way you get Internet connectivity both machines and the added benefit of security more between you and the Internet. Then you configure your network wireless safely, and then you configure file/printer sharing. Here is information on the implementation of a router and also in networking. It seems long, but don't be intimidated. Setting up a router and the LAN of sharing between two computers takes about 15 minutes.

  The router configuration

  Setting up a router is simple enough. Normally, you run the CD that came with the router and follow the instructions. If you're running Vista, maybe the CD that came with the router does not work; I do not know this. But you can set up the router without the CD. Note that if you have Internet cable for the connection you have just set up the router to DHCP (or there may even be a choice of cable to choose). If you have DSL Internet, you select TRP usually and enter the username and password you selected when you initially set the DSL connection. So:

  1. turn off the power to your cable modem.

  2. attach a cable (usually supplied with the router) course Ethernet cat5e Internet/WAN port of the router to the Ethernet port on the cable modem.

  3. connect the ethernet cable cat5e from the network card in your computer to one of the ports on the router. If you do not have an ethernet cable (because you were using USB), you will need to go to the store and buy a.

  4. turn on the cable modem. After that all the lights are on, turn on the router.

  To configure the router:

   

  Have a computer connected to the router with an ethernet cable. Examples given are for a Linksys router. See the manual of your router or the router mftr's Web site. for the parameters by default if you don't have a Linksys. Open a browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox and in the address bar type:

  http://192.168.1.1 [Enter] (it is default IP address of the router, which varies from router to router then check your manual)

  This will bring you to the login screen of the router. The default username is blank and the Linksys default password is "admin" without the quotes. Enter this information. You are now in the configuration of the router utility. Your configuration utility may be slightly different from mine.

  Click the Administration link at the top of the page. Enter your new password. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE. Re-enter the password to confirm it, and then click Save settings at the bottom of the page. The router will reboot and show you the box of connection again. Do not fill in the user name and put it in your new password to enter the configuration utility.

  Now, click on the link wireless at the top of the page. Change the network name (SSID) wireless by default to something, you'll recognize. I suggest that my clients not use their surname as the SSID. For example, you might want to name your network wireless network "CastleAnthrax" or similar.

  Click on save settings and when you get the prompt that your changes were successful, click the wireless security link which is just beside the Basic Wireless Settings link (where you changed your SSID). If you have a newish computer, you will be able to affect security WPA2-Personal Mode. Do this and enter a password. The password is what you enter on all computers that are allowed to connect to the wireless network. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE.

  At this point, your router is set up and if the computer that you use to configure the router will normally connect wireless, disconnect the Ethernet cable and wireless of the computer should see your new network. Enter the password you created to join the network and start surfing.

  B. file/printer sharing of

  Excellent, comprehensive, but easy to understand article on sharing files/printer under Vista. Contains information about sharing printers and files, and the folders:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx

  For XP, start by running the Network Setup Wizard the on all machines (see warning in section A below).

  Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused by 1) a misconfigured firewall or a firewall neglected (including a dynamic firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently run two firewalls such as the firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall. and/or (3) do not have accounts to the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup. (4) tries to create actions where the operating system does not.

  A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, it means which allows file sharing / print on the Exceptions tab normally run the XP Network Setup Wizard will take care of this for these machines. The only "witch hunt", it will turn on the XPSP2 Windows Firewall. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus with "Internet Worm Protection" (like Norton 2006/07) which acts as a firewall, you're fine.  With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN with an IP address range. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Obviously you would substitute your correct subnet. Do not run more than one firewall. DON'T STOP FIREWALLS; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

  (B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This is done from the System applet in Control Panel, the computer name tab.

  C. create the counterpart of the user accounts and passwords on all machines. You do not need to be logged into the same account on all machines and assigned to each user account passwords can be different; accounts/passwords just need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to boot directly to the desktop (a particular user account) for convenience, you can do this. The instructions on this link work for XP and Vista:

  Set up Windows to automatically connect (MVP Ramesh) - http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Autologon.htm

  D. Si one or more of the computers is XP Pro or Media Center, turn off Simple file sharing (Folder Options > view tab).

  E. create share as you wish. XP Home does not share the users directory or the Program Files, but you can share folders inside those directories. A better choice is to simply use the Shared Documents folder. See the first link above for more information on Vista sharing.

  F. you have the job of file sharing (and tested by exchanging a file between machines), if you want to share a printer connected locally to one of your computers, share of this machine. Then go to the printer mftr Web site. and download the latest drivers for the correct system. Install them on the target machines. The printer must be collected during the installation procedure. If this isn't the case, install the drivers and then use the Add Printer Wizard. In some cases, printers must be installed as local printers, but it is outside this response.

• Vista cannot add a network printer, but can't XP...

  I have a printer is installed on a computer running XP that i wan't to print form other computers... I can install it in the other XP machines and print without any problem whatsoever.

  But when I try to install it in my Vista machine I get an access denied error...

  I tried different machines, formatting, etc...

  It will not just install the crazy printer...

  Any solution?

  If the drivers are available, correct, kindly repost your question in the Vista Networking Forum. link already provided in two (2) responded earlier.

• HP Laserjet M4345 MFP: Can I add a Duplexer for my M4345 MFP printer?

  I have the HP Laserjet M4345 MFP base model and I was wondering if I can add the duplexer, so I can automatically print on both sides.

  Thank you

  If she is not a duplex unit, it is easy to add it simply slips in the lower part to the fuser unit.

  Then you just power cycle the machine and it is detected and begins to work.

  You don't have to change a configuration so that he knows that the duplexer is installed the driver.

  How to use windows scan with my new canon MX 922 printer.  It is conncected and copying and printing but can't seem to use the windows scan option, the cannon that which for me is slow thanks

  All in one, type printers (print, copy, scan) usually have a very specific set of instructions during the installation.  If not followed exactly the probability is that the scanner will not work.

  Canon: http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer

  Download and read the Setup instructions for your model, have you followed the instructions exactly, more precisely when to connect the printer / scanner during installation of the software process?

• LaserJet m1217nfw mfp - Dungeon print wireless failing / falling on Mac OS 10.7.5

  I installed my LaserJet m1217nfw mfp at least 4 times during the month using my Mac running on OS 10.7.5. The first time was with the CD supplied with the printer, and the last was 3 times with the latest version of the software downloaded from HP.

  Each time, wireless printing is set up and works without a problem (using these official instructions from HP: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48mLZoRjJm0). But a few days later, when I try to print the same Mac Wireless, it does not find the printer on the network. And nothing on the network or router has changed.

  It is quite frustrating. I doubt for the 5th time will solve the problem once and for all.

  Any ideas much appreciated!

  Thank you

  Hi SC_W

  I understand that you keep losing wireless connection.

  I have included a document for printer is not maintaining the wireless connection.

  To configure the static method IP go to step 6: your HP product of the assign a static IP address.

  If the printer deposits the wireless again follow step 4: perform a power reset on the HP product and a wireless router and then restart the computer.

  Hope that helps.

• LaserJet M4345 MFP firmware upgrade failure using the HP Download Manager

  Hi all

  I have a LaserJet M4345 multifunction printer, and I tried to see if there is any updated firmware for the printer.
  When I try to access the web configuration interface, I see that the printer is running a firmware with 20070213 code 09.071.8

  I downloaded the software from the HP Download Manager to try to update the printer automatically with a simple procedure.

  The program finds the printer and said that she needed upgrade. He showed that the printer is model J7949E and current firmware V.33.14 while the update of the Firmware version has been V.33.21

  I leave the program to start the process of update, but as soon as I said to start the update immediately (do not), a new window will appear showing the status of update and it closed after less than a second, replaced by another saying that the firmware update was complete.

  Although I was skeptical about the process in so little time, I tried to check again the printer web configuration interface, but it showed that the firmware was always the same, I saw earlier (20070213 09.071.8). To try to detect the printer from the Manager software download HP found that the printer was still need upgrading (and asked me if I wanted to do now). Try once led to the same results.

  I tried to restart the printer, the program and the computer with no result.

  I'm running Windows 7 32 bit and the printer is connected to the router which I connect this pc wireless.

  If I can provide any other information, please let me know.

  Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

  Hey Unreal, the product that you have is a printer. These commercial products can be a little tricky. For the best chance of finding a solution, I would post in the forum for HP Business Support.

• Cannot access a Web site, but can ping IP addresses on the internet

  -With the help of Vista SP2 64-bit on laptop faulty.

  -Number of computers on the same network have access to the internet.

  -Tried several network interfaces on this laptop, but no luck for access to the network, wired or wireless

  -From this notebook, I can ping addresses Internet IP so the problem seems to be the side DNS.

  -Flushing DNS cache and reset the network interface.

  -Rebooted several times.

  What did I miss?

  Thanks in advance

  Hey easternguy,.

  Check if you can test the Web site by name.

  To do this:

  a. Click Start and type cmd.

  b. press ENTER.

  c. type the following command:

  ping hostname

  Ping uses name resolution to resolve a computer by IP address name. Therefore, if you successfully ping the IP address but you cannot ping a computer name, there is a problem with host name resolution, and no network connectivity.

  Case 1: If you can not ping the Web site using its address, follow these steps.

  In this case, try changing your host file.

  In the C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc Hosts files may be damaged or corrupted.

  Review the contents of your HOSTS file and compare it to the screenshot below. There is no need to worry about any line that starts with a # is ignored by Windows. In addition, the line "127.0.0.1 localhost" can be ignored without risk, because it is a standard input.

  

  Everything that appears in your HOSTS file without a # earlier this year, aside from the "127.0.0.1 localhost" line, should be regarded with suspicion when we try to diagnose the cause of the problem. The fastest way to test the involvement of HOSTS file is to just rename the host file. By changing the name of the HOSTS file, prevent us Internet Explorer to use it and so all problems caused by the file.

  Case 2:

  If you can ping external websites by IP address and name, but can't browse the web, probably your browser is misconfigured.

  Check that you do not have an incorrect Proxy Server affected necessary or not.

  For Internet Explorer, follow these steps.

  a. open Internet Explorer.

  b. go to Tools / Internet Options.

  c. click on the Connections tab.

  d. click the LAN Settings button.

  "e. uncheck both" "automatically detect settings" and "use a proxy server for your LAN '.

  This should be it.

  Kind regards

• Problem with Site-to-Site VPN. VPN tunnel is broken but can ping

  OK, so I am trying to understand why I can't not only appears when I sh crypto isakmp his or sh crypto ipsec his. I did the basic to site vpn settings to another and I can't ping on both networks fine no problem. So, when I ping from one pc to the address 172.16.0.0 192.168.0.0 network network there is no problem at all because the pings are very well received. But when I go to sh crypto isakmp sa, there's simply nothing and I can't for the life of understand me why. I watched my sh run for both routers and all seems well, but I guess I could be overlooking something. I would really appreciate if someone could help me to diagnose this problem.

  I've attached my plotter file of package and two routers use the binary password. I also have the sh run two routers also attached.

  I'm not on any of the router 172.16.0.0/24 only 172.16.0.0/16 and I think that is the question.

  In Crypto ACL you have on the router of branch:

  !

  S2S-VPN-TRAFFIC extended IP access list

  Licensing ip 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.255 172.16.0.0 0.0.0.255

  If it should not be:

  !

  S2S-VPN-TRAFFIC extended IP access list

  Licensing ip 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.255 172.16.0.0 0.0.255.255

  and coursed mirrored on the main router.

  If this isn't the case, you are saying that some ping between 192.168.0.x and 172.16.0.x is going ok. Can you please indicate exactly that one? I could see that you have attached a package tracer, but I couldn't open it.

• Color LaserJet MFP Pro 277dw: MFP will print but not scan since update Mac OS 10.10.5

  I had used my LaserJet MFP Pro wireless without problem for several years, with the Mavericks and Yosemite.  A few weeks ago a "update" the printer system is invisible.  After several hours of troubleshooting and to try five or six corrections, I finally got the printer online by using the IP address.

  My computers, however (a performer of the Mavericks and a Yosemite running), do not see the scanner.  It's not a question of adding - they do not to add it.  By HP support, I have reset the system print and tried to start over.  I downloaded HP Easy Print (or Easy Start or whatever), which is the entire site of support in the way of software for the 277dw of the ACM.  The software through me the entire upward and congratulated himself for a job well done, but my printer was not, in fact, related.  He appeared in the printers Control Panel, but would not print.  Just "connecting to printer" in the queue for ten minutes about until what I called off work.  And the scanner does not yet show in the Image Capture, preview or HP Easy Scan.

  So, I went back to my previous fix for the printer, use the IP address.  Any ideas on how to get the scanner appears?

  Hello

  Restart your router by unplugging its power for 30 seconds.

  Once it is fully up and you have internet access on your Mac reboot both the HP printer and the Mac.

  From system preferences, select Printers and scanners and click on the plus sign to add the printer again.

  Can you now ee he listed as Hello type or not?
