Impossible to activate VIsta printer sharing

Any ideas why I can't activate printer sharing? I have a HP932C printer attached to my Vista computer I want to share on my home network. Whenever I have activate printer sharing and 'apply' I get an error message 'the printer settings could not be saved. Could not be achieved. "Error (0x0000007a). I checked the firewall and the printer and file sharing is checked. Thoughts?

In the networking and sharing;

1 is your network set as Public or private? Public restricted the discovery and sharing of settings... Private (home or office} allows full of discovery and sharing, but is more vulnerable, unless a good security is used (encryption key, modem NAT or router). Home networks are usually defined as private. Across your network name, click Customize to change the Private setting.
2. just under Customize, click State view. To the local connection status area will go up. Click on properties. Is file and sharing printers for MS Networks listed and checked? If it is not installed and checked, you can not share.

Also, is there a password on the account? Vista requires the sharing plan.
To perform a clean boot on a computer that is running Windows Vista, follow these steps.

  1. Click Start

    The collapse of this image to develop this image , type msconfig in the box start looking for and then press ENTER.
    The collapse of this image enlarge this image

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.

  2. On the the general tab, click on Selective startup.
  3. Under Selective startup, turn it off box load startup items.
  4. Click on the Services tab, select him hide all Microsoft Services check box and then click on Disable all.
  5. Click on OK.
  6. When you are prompted, click on restart.

After the reboot, see if you can share it.

Also try to activate the 'Administrator' account and try to share from there.

Also try turning off firewall cand completely Windows Defender.

    The problem is that the key on the lower side is an OEM license key and doesn t work with normal Vista installation diskettes. So that s the problem why you can t activate your Vista installation.

    You wrote that you have a Vista installation disc. Why you n t use the key that belongs to this disc? This would work ;)

  • Problem to a file/printer sharing network.

    Hello

    I want to do a network to share files, printer and internet. I have already shared the internet by all connection to the access point devices through wireless and connecting the access point to the cable modem, but I can't share any file or folder.

    I tried many things to create a small network of win xp, but I failed.

    I have a wireless access point Dap1150 D-Link wireless modem 1 billion for the ADSL2 +, a PC (win xp) with a normal network adapter and an external wireless LAN adapter + a laptop (win 7) which has two cards and support network wi - fi.

    Please help I have searched a lot but I couldn't find anything useful.

    H

    Assuming that the "billion for ADSL2 wireless modem + ' is a router, and it is configured as one.

    Since you have a Windows 7 computer too, the network must be configured take into consideration.

    -------------------------------

    Maybe this can help.

    ---------------------

    The following looks like a long history (it's only 600 words). I know not what is knowledge of the user, and exactly what has been done already. The info go through the motions of the configuration and verify most of the common aspects of the LAN Windows OS features '.

    ----------------------

    Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.

    Group residential network = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.

    Working network = fundamentally similar to previous methods of sharing that allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.

    Public share
    = network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.

    For the best newspaper of the results of each computer screen system and together all computers on a network of the same name, while each computer has its own unique name.

    Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

    General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq.html#trusted
    Please Note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled).
    If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic.

    If you end up with the 3rd party software uninstalled or disabled, make sure that Windows native firewall is active .

    -----------------------------

    Network Win 7 with another version of Windows as a work network (works very well if all computers are Win 7 also).

    In the center of the network, by clicking on the type of network opens the window to the right.

    Choose your network type. Note the check box at the bottom and check/uncheck depending on your needs.

    Please don't give me that: "If you try to connect to another computer, make sure that this computer is on, that you have enabled file and printer sharing on both computers, and file and printer sharing can communicate through your firewall." Because I seek NOT to connect to another computer... I want to just access MY Public folder and the users folder and eventually allow others to access also.

    Hi Katmandu774,

     

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

    The Public folder is a convenient way to share files that are stored on your computer. You can share files in this folder with other people using the same computer and with people using other computers on the same network. Any file or folder you put in the folder Public is automatically shared with the people who have access to your Public folder.

    If you are not on a domain, you can limit network access to the Public folder so that people with a user account and password for this computer. To do this, turn on sharing protected by password.

    1. Open the network and sharing Center by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, click network and Internet, click network and sharing Center.
    2. Click the arrow next to password protected sharing, and then click one of the following options:

    ·         Turn on password protected sharing

    ·         Turn off password protected sharing

    1. Click apply. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    To control the level of access to the Public folder

     

    1. Open the network and sharing Center by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, click network and Internet, click network and sharing Center.
    2. Click the arrow next to public folder sharing, and then click one of the following options:

    ·         Turn on sharing so anyone with network access can open files

    ·         Turn on sharing so anyone with network access can open, change and create files

    ·         Turn off sharing (people logged on to this computer can still access this folder)

    1. Click apply. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    Also, make sure you add everyone to the public folder and give the necessary permissions to access it.
