• Cannot install network printer on Windows 7. Detects the printer then it says cannot locate the driver. All my vista and XP machines have no problem finding drivers. It is a 32-bit 64-bit vs questions? How can I fix it?

  Cannot install network printer on Windows 7.  Detects the printer then it says cannot locate the driver.  All my vista and XP machines have no problem finding drivers. It is a 32-bit 64-bit vs questions?  How can I fix it?
  Windows Server 2008 network.  Printers have ip addresses. Install the drivers from the Print Manager.  /Terminal Server Workgroup installation.

  It's the same situation with XP.  The print driver names must match.  If you notice the name of the printer driver that uses XP is a name different from the one that is installed when you plug in the device on the Windows 7 computer.  This is just my assumption, please correct me if this isn't the case.

  The real solution is to install a 32-bit driver on the XP machine that uses the same name that the 64-bit driver and share a printer using this driver or find a 64-bit driver that uses the same name as the 32-bit driver installed on XP and install the driver on XP.

• Windows 7 can not find .inf driver for Canon Pixma iP4000 printer connected to Windows XP.

  I have a laptop running Windows 7 (64-bit machine) I want to print from.  The laptop is on a home network wireless.  The office is wireless as well and is running Windows XP.  The Office has a Canon Pixma iP4000 printer connected with a parallel cable.  I installed the latest XP drivers for the printer on the desktop.  The laptop can connect directly to the printer with a USB cable and drivers will download automatically and it will print correctly.  However, I can't connect the printer using the wireless system.  I can go on the laptop to the home network and navigate to the printer and try to install.  It makes an automatic search and says that it cannot find the correct drivers.  I can browse to the file to install on my desktop, but it of an .exe file and not. INF.  I run the .exe file and it installs too, but Setup of printer on the laptop won't let me not by the .inf screen add to complete the installation of a wireless printer.

  Any suggestions?

  Very probably the XP driver name is different from the name of 64-bit driver.  Create a Local Port which copies the data to the print size in Windows 7.

  Here is an article knowledge base how to the names of the incompatible drivers.  Replace the Windows 7 machine for NT4 machine referenced in the article.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/282842

  If you load the printer driver 32-bit on your 64-bit computer, you need the 32-bit driver for Windows 7.  You can do if you have a 32-bit computer of Windows 7 on the network to push pilots up to the machine that is sharing the printer.  None are flat files on the Windows 7 DVD, you need to install the OS or mount the ISO.

  The key to successful sharing between computers that run different printing architecture processors is pilot name.  PCL6 equal NOT PCL 6.

• Problem connecting to the server, error connection server and printer offline. I have a HP photosmart printer and Windows 7?

  My printer is not printing. It say problem connecting to the server, connection error server and printer offline. I have a HP photosmart printer and windows 7.

  You have McAfee? McAfee has been updated at the same time as the last batch of updates from Windows 7 and it seems to be the cause of this problem for most, if not all, users.

  See the communication from this "criticism" - McAfee

  Some customers may experience a loss of network connectivity and/or errors in McAfee Security Center after a recent update

  You should make the fix McAfee, if necessary. There are corresponding communications for their enterprise products.

  I got McAfee, but the connection has started working again on its own so I thought I was clear of problems. However, when I checked it says he was doing routine checks the updates in vain when I told it to do a manually. So stick with McAfee you don't follow their procedure of fix would have upgraded my PC at risk by not updated and, like other McAfee ads have since explained, the application did not refer to its database of threats correctly [and this could explain part of the variability of the symptoms of failure but all involved loss of internet connection]. Actually, I removed McAfee then installed Microsoft Security Essentials rather & my answer IE is faster I knew it [even though I had the Add-ons McAfee disabled for centuries].

  I had to run the removal of McAfee Development tool a few times before and it caused a problem with the license if the PC was not connected to the internet during the abduction.

• Cannot print/connection of Windows 7 for shared PSC 1315 on the XP Machine

  I have a HP PSC 1315, connected to a computer running Windows XP (32 bit).  This printer is shared.  I can access it from other XP machines on my home network.  I can't access it from my computer Windows 7 (64-bit).  I can see the printer is shared on the computer, but when I double click on it, I get the following error:

  "Windows can't find a driver for hp PSC 1310 series on the network."  To locate one manually, click on OK.  Otherwise, click Cancel and consult your network administrator or the printer manufacturer's Web site. »

  Then I tried to download the driver Windows 7 (64 bit) of HP and installed on my Windows 7 machine:

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=Al-75052-1&LC=en&DLC=en&cc=CA&...

  At the end of the installation, it asks to connect the printer to the computer via USB.  Because I'm not physically the printer connected to the Windows 7 computer, I check the box that says I can't login now and go forward at the end.

  Then I tried to connect to the printer and I get the same error.  I try to locate a driver manually.  I point to c:\windows\inf\ without success (I am * if * the driver info might settle there, but I don't know what the name of .inf).  Windows says that it cannot find an appropriate driver.  Maybe I should be looking elsewhere?

  I found some troubleshooters on the HP website, but it does not give "shared printer on a network" as one of the schemes to solve connection problems.

  I'm a little confused on this one.  Hoping that there will be something simple, I missed.

  Thank you!

  Here's a good explanation of how to share a printer from an XP PC to Windows 7 PC on a network home.  It should work since Windows 7 (64-bit) PC can see the partition Windows XP 32-bit.  What you missed was the type of port to use for the network connection.

• How to share printer connected to the Windows XP with Windows 7 computer

  Original title: printer problem

  I have a HP USB printer connected to a PC running XP.  My wife has a laptop and connects to my Internet connection through a router.  Is there a command in XP that will access the printer even though it is not wireless?  The laptop is running Windows 7 and using Microsoft Home and Business 2010, and therefore the PC.   I was told that it is a command, but can't find it.

  Hi BudRamey,
   
  Share the printer from Windows XP for use with Windows 7 as well.
   
  See this link for more information on this operation:

  You can not install the 32-bit drivers on 64 bit systems. Share the printer in windows 7. Go to add a printer under XP and find the shared printer (select non-local network). Also make sure, both computers have the same workgroup name

  You may need to extract the first 32-bit printer drivers, then when it asks

• problem with the printer connected to windows vista,

  I have a Canon PIXMA printeriP1900 when I try to connect it to my computer, I get a message that the printer driver is not compatible with a policy enabled on your computer of mine that blocks NT 4.0 I have Windows vista. Can someone help me

  Go to the Canon Website and see if there are drivers for Vista.

  http://www.USA.Canon.com/consumer/controller?Act=DownloadIndexAct

  I don't see a pattern of IP1900 if you can't access the exact page. You will need to check your model number. If there are drivers for the version of Vista you have (32 or 64-bit), download and install. Do not have the printer connected until the installer tells you to do. If there are no Vista drivers for the printer, you can not run it under Vista.

  You must also run the software printer Canon of an administrative user account.

• Shows printer connected locally as offline on Windows 7

  Hello.

  I downloaded the latest drivers and tried all the usb ports on my laptop. However, the printer can not connect and does not 'online '. The USB ports are all working well.
  How can I change from 'online' to the ' offline '?
  It will be a case of the cable being spoilt?
  Yours sincerely,
   
   
  Original title: Canon MP 496 'offline '.
  Hello
   
  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.
   
  You may experience an error in offline mode, if you have activated the offline of your network printer. More recent printers come with a built-in button that activates the offline mode. If you have pressed this button, you printer goes offline. You can also face a printer offline error, if you do not connect the printer correctly. If you must check whether the cables and connectors you used to connect to the printer are firmly in place.
  In order to understand the question, better we need additional information:
