HP Photosmart 7260 - I get "network busy" message when you try to print from home network

I've included just a mac pro with Snow Leopard OS on my home network. I tried to add the shared printer, but even with the IP address, I can't print. Work of all my other pc. The host computer uses Windows XP, DELL router with firmware update, the printer is connected through a router. I already downloaded the latest drivers from the Apple site. Without success.

OKAY, OKAY.  Honestly, I'm not very good with printer sharing, especially across operating systems, but I'll give it a shot.

First of all, just to be clear, the printer is connected to a XP machine via USB and you're trying to print via a router, right?

Let's try the simple approach:

1. enable the account on the XP machine.

2. on the Mac, go to System Prefs > Print & Fax, click the plus sign "+" to add a printer, and then click the Windows icon at the top.

3. go to the XP machine, you may have to connect to it.

4. choose the appropriate driver in the menu dropdown.  If it does not exist, choose a Gutenprint driver.

Yet once again, I'm not very experienced with that - let me know how it goes.

  • error message when you try to print from the windows photo gallery

    I can't print the Windows Photo Gallery photos: failure of the Document to print - load plain paper.  I reloaded paper, updated printer drivers and called Dell technical support, who said it was a software isue since I can print other documents as well as photos from Photoshop Elements. I get the same message when I try to print from painting and the image viewer. Looks like a problem of microsoft.
    My printer is Dell V515w and is 4 months old.
    Even if I can use Photoshop Elements, it is easier to use the Windows Photo Gallery.  Any ideas?

  • Print the error message when you try to print from a Vista network printer

    I have 2 computers and 1 printer. Usually, when I wanted to print computers I unplug the cable to a computer printer and plug it into the other computer. Now, I use a USB switch with computers and a printer plugged into it so I won't have to unplug the cable from a computer and move it to another. The problem is that I get the constant pop-up message that says "Windows - writeback failed. Window could not save all the data for the E:\$mft. The data has been lost.

    What should I do to fix this?

    I get an Error Message When you try to send emails. "some errors occurred while processing the requested tasks. Please see the list of errors below for more details".

    But it sends the message anyway... multiple copies, and she also is put in the "Outbox" in Outlook Express as if it is not sent.

    To stop the email to be sent repeatedly to the recipient, I erase it from the "Outbox" but a) you don't know if they really got it) b it is embarrassing for the receiver c) is this a bug I can fix it?

    Thanks for any help.

    You have a corruption of dbx file easily corrected.

    Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox and then create new folders to send and sent items box after having moved the messages you want to save to a local folder that you create.

    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

    In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.

    With OE closed, find the DBX files for the items in the Outbox and sent and delete them.  New ones will be created automatically when you open OE.

    After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.

    Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.

    General precautions for Outlook Express:

    Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.

    Information on the maximum size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=903095

    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:
    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

    Why you don't need your anti-virus to scan your email
    http://thundercloud.NET/infoave/tutorials/email-scanning/index.htm

    Note that for some AV programs, it may be necessary to uninstall the program and reinstall in custom Mode and uncheck analysis when the option is the result of e-mail messages.

    Compact often as specified above.

    And backup often.

  • "communication not available with the printer" message when you try to print to a Lexmark 1270 x all-in-one

    I am running windows xp family.  I don't know what happened, but all of a sudden, I get this message when I try and print to my lexmark x 1270 "communication not available with the printer. I tried every troubleshooter, I contacted Lexmark support that they gave up, saying: it must be a file is missing from the windows registry, you can help me?

    It seems that if you say that the pilots were not reinstalled successfully.  What was the mystery file that could not be found?

    Do you remember how the software has been uninstalled?  Was something else than the control panel > Add / Remove Programs (or the link "Uninstall" from start > all programs) used?

    If you do not really clean things, attempts to reinstall the printer drivers may actually just end up putting the old drivers back in place.

    This is the easiest way to uninstall and reinstall the printer drivers: Article 1.  The critical step is #4.

    This page has more detailed advice for cleaning things out before you reinstall: http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/CleanPrinterDrivers.htm

    I asked the firewall and antivirus applications because sometimes, some security software may interfere with the printers.  This shouldn't be a problem with the firewall of Windows XP and Microsoft Security Essentials.

    Finally, your problem could end up being hardware related.  Lexmark support has no hardware troubleshooting operation?  The manual for your x 1270 says:

    All-in-One is not communicating with the computer

    1. disconnect and reconnect both ends of the USB cable. For more help, see the
    installation documentation.
    2 unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, plug it in again, and
    Press Power. For more information, refer to the installation documentation.
    3 restart the computer. If the problem continues, remove and then reinstall
    the software. For more information, see page 16. [which ask you to remove the software using the link "Uninstall" - which is not complete, as described above]

    If you have another type of printer USB cable, you should try it exchanges.  Ideally, you need to connect to the printer on another computer, but maybe it's not convenient for you.

    Hello @katt6,

    Welcome to the forums

    I understand that you can print documents with success and however, make copies when you try to print a Web site or an e-mail, the pages come out blank.

    Personally, I think that there could be a problem with the browser you are using and would recommend that you try to print from another browser. Firefox or Chrome should work. Please try one of them and let me know what happens!

    Download Firefox here: Firefox Free Download

    Download Google Chrome here: Download Google Chrome

    Good luck
