I need this laptop wireless connection to my office wired printer. How

I want to this laptop wireless connection to my office wired printer. How can I do that. I tried to do the thing of the shared printer, but my office is old and uses windows xp, and of course, this laptop uses windows 7. My printer is an epson stylus photo r320. I want to have my wife's cell phone to also be able to access the printer. I connect to the internet via a cable comcast and have a linksys N Router e2500. I want to do this as cheaply and simply as possible. Thank you

Hello:

First you must enable sharing of files and printers in Windows XP. During this process, you need to change the name of your to WORKGROUP MSHOME workgroup to match the workgroup name in Windows 7.

You should also turn on file sharing and printers in Windows 7, and turn off password protected sharing.

When you have done all that, click View workgroup computers on the XP PC. You should see the two PC listed.

With the laptop to Windows 7, you should see the printer connected to your computer listed with the desktop computer (you may need to click on see the whole map when you open the network and sharing Center). Click on the printer and click on connect. I hope that the printer is capable of Windows 7. If it isn't, it will give you an error that it cannot find an appropriate driver or another error.

  • Two years trying to get Toshiba laptop wireless connection works

    I tried for two years to try and get the connection Wireless on my Toshiba laptop to work without much success. For a short period I managed to connect the laptop to a desktop computer's ad-hoc wireless and share the internet connection in this way but then it stopped working.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro U400 - 15L model no PSU45E-00J005EN. It is with the 12.1 "screen and running Windows XP Pro sp3.

    My wireless switch on the front of the laptop is turned on. It is also activated in the software Fn F5 wireless enabled, disabled bluetooth. I don't have Intel ProSet.

    Already when I was able to establish an ad hoc connection using microsofts software. I had to manually activate the Wireless Zero Configuration (WZC) whenever even if, as he always began with disabilities or order even if I set it to start automatically. It is a monumental PITA.

    When I try and connect to the ADSL wireless router (Belkin N150) using the Toshiba Software, I get the message error "application from another provider is controlling the wireless adapter.

    I get all the time, even though I turned off Microsoft Wireless Zero Configuration (WZC).

    I thought that Windows controlled always somehow it even though I disabled WZC, so after reading solutions in other posts, that I tried to go...

    -> Control Panel-> network connections-> wireless-> properties-wireless networks tab > uncheck "use Windows to configure...". ».

    But unfortunately there is not 'the wireless networks tab' in there, all I have is the other two tabs. And since trying to use Toshibas software to connect wireless using their Radar thing, now when I click the wireless network connection in there the message "Windows cannot configure this wireless connection. If you have enabled another program to configure this wireless connection, use that software. »

    Can someone on the forum or using Toshiba please?

    Thank you

    Two years? Sorry, but I can't believe it.

    If everything is Ok and I mean if there is no hardware problem you n t need more than two minutes for the WLAN configuration.

    As a first step, you must be sure that the wireless network card is installed correctly (Device Manager).
    Wireless network card must also be enabled correctly (switch > check FN + F8 > check ConfigFree tool).
    When the wireless network card that it is correctly enabled scan (check the status of ConfigFree) the area with RADAR option in ConfigFree.
    You will find this option?
    You can scan the area?
    Some WLAN is visible for your laptop?

  • Wireless connection works only when the printer is turned off

    my desktop computer requires an adapter wireless for internet connection.  installation of this card was problematic and I discovered I mean it was because of my printer - a kodak esp 6150 desktop, which can work wireless.    I can only connect wirelessly when the printer is off on this computer.  However, two other laptops that do not need a separate wireless adapter are able to connect wireless when the printer is on.  any suggestions?   Thank you.

    Hello testrat.  I understand that a problem the reactivation of your wireless card.  Is this correct?

    The error message that you received on another utility used to configure the device is probably the cause of your problem.  This looks like a software application to manage wireless connections is your wireless card hostage.  You will see to set Windows to control the connection.  You will need to determine what program is currently set to manage the wireless.

    I'll need to go to the Add/Remove programs in your control panel section.  Sort the list by name and look for anything with the name of 'Intel' or "Broadcom."  What do you see that these two brands are concerned?

    I'm waiting for your answer.

    • (Including service pack revision) operating system - Mac OS X 10.6.2
    • -Wireless connection method
    • Error - could not connect. Photosmart C6100 series (C8897C) is currently unavailable. Please check is it is on and connected, or try again later.
    • Using the latest version of the drivers for HP 2.3 Apple updates and the latest version of the bundled software HP 4.4.3 utilities.

    I was able to solve the problem by reading the comments of others and came across the solution.

    By turning on the printer press and hold keys # and 3 which resets the printer as a warm reboot. Hold the keys down until the main menu appears on the screen (it took awhile so be patient).

    Return to the Mac and remove and re-add the printer via system preferences > printer and faxes (-/ +). However, there is no need to restart the printer twice until it was added back successfully.

  • I need my laptop to connect to two wireless networks in different times.

    Help! I have a laptop Vostro 1500 that I bring to work and he need to log on to the network wireless to work.  I also have a wireless home network and have it automatically log this one as well.  I can get it to work properly on a network, until I have to log on to the other network.  Then he opens a session on the homepage of 2? or 2 working.  It's a real pain, because then I have to cross and re configure it once again.  Is it possible to just connect the existing network?  My laptop runs Vista Bussiness and other workstations on two XP pro media.


  • I use Thunderbird on multiple computers to the same gmail account but I have a laptop with little memory, so I need this laptop only to download a few files

    I use Thunderbird on multiple computers to the same gmail account. I have a small laptop with very little memory and it runs out of disk space when it downloads all my folders. I would only download some of my file on the laptop, but keep all the folder on my other computers because they do not have problems with disk space. When I unsubscribe records in 'manage folder subscriptions' then he cancels his subscription on all my computers, not just the laptop. When I go to 'Properties' on the folder and sets 'retention individual police' these settings are not applied at all. What can I do?

    All of the messages in each folder will appear in your message list. But this does not mean all the bodies of messages are downloaded, if you have properly configured the parameters of the disk. If what I described above stuck in your settings then Message body should be downloaded only 'on demand' when you click on each message.

    To confirm this install the addon glodaquilla, which has a column "on the disk" that indicates if a message is on the disk. If you want, after you have installed the addon set Thunderbird to work offline, so it does not download message body when you click in the list of messages.

  • wireless connection (WRT300N) to the wired router (BEFSR41)

    itself...  I have nice small router 4 ports and a WRT300N that I attach to the router.  Looks like it should be 'easy' but it is not just plug n play.  I'm not an expert... probably the WRT300N must be differently configured when it is connected to a router if it was connected to the cable modem.

    Help is greatly appreciated.  Even if it's just a pointer to info - I don't mind doing my homework, but can't find anything about it in any documentation that I ran across.

    BTW, we have a good reason to not simply use the router without wire, so no need to think that, thanks...

    Printer worked fine using my own home router for 2 years. HP2540 printer - firmware Rev. CP1FN1333AR.

  • my daughter forgot the password on this laptop, and now nothing can be upgraded. How do I change and reset the password

    computer is without hope, without updates

    If you have forgotten your password, if you have another user who has administrative privileges account you can log in to that account and change the password of your account of origin of the user accounts applet in Control Panel. If you do not have another account like this set upwards or that you do not have the password which you will need to log on to the built-in Administrator account. In XP Home, start the computer in Mode safe. This, by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. This will put you in the right menu. Navigate using your arrow up; the mouse does not work here. Once in safe mode, you will see the normally hidden administrator account. The default password is white.

    In XP Pro, you don't need to go to Safe Mode. In the home screen, do Ctrl-Alt-Del twice to get the classic Windows logon box. Type in "Administrator" and the password that you assigned when you set up Windows.

    If you reset the password of the account administrator integrated into house or have Pro and don't remember the password, use NTpasswd to change the password of the built-in to a white administrator account. Download the bootable CD .iso image file, burn with third-party burning software such as free ImgBurn , Nero or Roxio. Burn as an image, not in the form of data. Start with the media that you have created. You need to maybe change the boot order in the BIOS or obtain a menu of boot command temporary with the pressure of a special key. NTpasswd will run. Follow the instructions carefully.

    http://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/

    Then, go to the user accounts applet in Control Panel and set passwords that you remember and other changes. WRITE THE PASSWORDS DOWN AND PUT THEM SOMEWHERE YOU WON'T LOSE THEM.

  • Problem with wireless connection on Equium L350

    Hello

    OK, today I went and replaced my L350 which was stolen by a replacement. Previously, I could set up my connection Wireless in a few seconds. Now, I can't.
    As far as I know, nothing has changed with my Sky router, wireless devices can connect to perfectly.

    One thing I noticed was that when I press the FN, I have no F8 option, it goes directly from F7 to F9. I've never had to set up my wireless with these keys FN before, so could I have a slightly different model without knowing?

    I get a light orange next to the switch Wi - Fi on the front, but only when really close to the router. In addition, it turns off when the laptop is put into mode 'sleep' or the lid is closed, something that never happened with my old versoin.

    Any help greatly appreciated, esp that I need this laptop for my degree.

    To be honest, it's very strange question. If your laptop is preinstalled with Image Recovery (factory settings), everything should be OK.

    What is the status of WLAN card in Device Manager?

    BTW: light orange compatible WLAN Card has nothing to do with the distance to the router and it is logical that, after switching mode standby WLAN led is OFF.
