  Ok.  You can 'share' the Canon printer, which means that you will be able to print to it from your laptop when your laptop is connected wireless to your router.

  This is called 'file and printer sharing' and here are some basic tips on setting up, courtesy of the MVP Malke (you have already completed part A, then start with the part B). Read the part in the first paragraph I put in bold.  If you do not understand the last paragraph on sharing the printer, read one or more of the articles from Google search.

  If you want to share your cannon sweep feature, you will have to read the manual to see if it is possible and (b) how to put in place.  He usually just is to use the Canon CD to install the printer and its software required on your laptop the installer knows that the Canon is a shared network resource.

  The best and simplest is to buy a wireless router. In this way you
  get Internet connectivity both machines and the added benefit of some
  more security between you and the Internet. Next, you set up your wireless network
  network in any security, and then you configure file/printer sharing. Below you will find
  information on the implementation of a router and also in networking. Looks like
  long but don't be intimidated. Setting up a router and local area network
  sharing between two computers takes about 15 minutes.

  Configuration of the router.

  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 may be the
  CD that came with the router does not work; I do not know this. But you can set
  the router without the CD. Note that if you have Internet, cable for the
  connection you just put the router to DHCP (or there may even be a)
  cable choice to choose). If you have DSL Internet, you generally
  Select PPoe and enter the username and password you chose during
  initially setting up the DSL connection. So:

  1. turn off the power to your cable modem.
  2 set a course of ethernet cat5e cable (usually supplied with the router)
  the port of the router to port Internet/WAN modem ethernet cable.
  3. connect the CAT5e cable from your computer's network card ethernet cable
  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. Check the manual for your router or router
  site Web de MFTR. 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] (this is by default the router address IP, who)
  varies from router to router then check your manual)

  This will bring you to the login screen of the router. The default username is left
  Blank and the Linksys default password is "admin" without the quotes. Come in
  This information. You are now in the configuration of the router utility. Your
  utility of configuration 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. Enter it again
  password to confirm and 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 return in the
  configuration utility.

  Now, click on the link wireless at the top of the page. Change the wireless
  Network name (SSID) default to something you will recognize. I have
  suggest that my clients do not use their surname as the SSID. For example,.
  You may want your "CastleAnthrax" wireless network name or the
  as. ;-)

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

  At this point, your router is set up and if the computer that you are using
  to configure the router normally goes for a wireless connection, unplug
  the ethernet cable and wireless of the computer should see your new
  network. Enter the password you created to join the network and launch
  Surf.

  B. file/printer sharing of

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

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

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

  Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused
  (1) a misconfigured firewall or neglected (including a stateful firewall
  Firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently running two firewall such as the
  Built-in firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall; and/or (3) not having not
  accounts of the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup; (4) try
  to create actions where the operating system is not.

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

  (B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This
  is 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 have
  must be connected to the same account on all machines and passwords
  assigned to each user account may 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 start directly
  on the desktop (a particular user account) for convenience, you
  to do this. The instructions on this link work for XP and Vista:

  Configure Windows to login automatically (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 home users sharing
  directories or files of program, 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)
  files between machines), if you want to share a printer connected
  locally to one of your computers, share it to this machine. Then go
  for the mftr printer 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 is not
  install the drivers, then use the Add Printer Wizard. In some cases,.
  Some printers need to be installed as local printers, but it's outdoors

• laptop to wireless printer connectivity

  I have a locked box truck in which I want to set up a wireless network between my laptop and a wireless printer. My laptop has internet connectivity via an aircard card. A basic router will solve my problem? There is no modem, only the laptop and printer wireless, in which I want to connect wireless. Any help appreciated.

  Thank you

  You don't need a router for that.

  Without a router, you can create a wireless ad - hoc between the laptop and the printer.  See, for example, http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c00205926

  Many successes of Google more

  The security problem is that XP does support (easily hacked) WEP encryption in wireless ad-hoc mode. On the other hand, nobody's going very far from trying to connect to your printer. Just make sure you don't leave the laptop to active ad hoc wireless network when you are not printing.

  If you get an inexpensive wireless router, you can connect the laptop to the router by an Ethernet cable or wireless.  In this configuration, you will be able to use wireless more secure (WPA or WPA2) security that supports the link (computer or printer).

  In both cases, do not install (or disable) sharing files and printers for Microsoft Networks in the properties of the network card on the laptop.

  Of course, the three devices, only the laptop is likely to be able to operate without available 110vac, you will need to buy some sort of power supply to convert the truck 12VCC power.  Make sure that you add the requirements of power of the appliances that you will probably use in order to get a converter with a sufficient capacity.  I don't have any specific recommendations, but I don't tell you want it a little and do not go for the cheaper product.

• Wireless printing solution

  Your answer in the link below regarding "black ink only" development on the HP Office Jet 6700 Premium was very useful. I am looking to buy a color wireless printer which also allows you to print in "black ink only" without the use of ink color. What are the best to meet this need? I looked at the HP Envy 5355. Who would meet my needs?

  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/Ink-toner-cartridge-printhead-issues/HP-OfficeJet-6700-premium-won-t-PR...

  Thank you very much for the help!

  The envy 5355 user manual indicates on page 49, it supports the mode single cartridge.  This printer has a black cartridge and a tricolor cartridge. This printer will support printing with one or more empty colors, or with one of the cartridges completely disappear.

  HP and other printer manufacturers have technology another printer for different needs.  For ink jet printers:

  • Some have integrated into the ink cartridges print heads.  These printers can print generally with one or more of the colors completely empty, or even with color or black cartridges (but not both) removed. 5355 Envy is an example.
  • Other printers have separate replaceable printheads and inks.  An example would be the Officejet 7110 printer.  In these printers print head can be replaced if they are damaged by running the printhead with colors off.  Some of these printers allow printing with a color, the other will not.  If the printer is run without ink in one or several colours, the printer may be damaged, but the user may be able to recover without having to send to the printer for the service.
  • Other printers have permanent print heads.  To run only those without little ink in all colours would risk causing damage to the print head because of clogs, air ingested in the printhead or grilled printhead resistances of shooting. The Officejet 6700 is an example of this type of printer. For printers with fixed print heads that could require the service to get the printer to print properly again when the ink is finally replaced.

  The document described here how the ink is used.  The document is written for inkjet printers HP the same principles apply to printers inkjet from other manufacturers.

• V515w not recognized as a wireless printer

  I have a new laptop with Win 7 64 bit and it won't recognize my old V515w all-in-one printer.

  It will not print a test page or check the levels of ink or the functions of the printer. There is a network printer in my printers with a strange description of ET002000964713B.

  It works well as a USB printer. The printer sees the router correct and has the correct name.

  Never asked me to enter the password (password), like the laptop XP did.

  Much like a printer, my old laptop with XP print network, no problem.

  I have the new software and drivers I think. It will not download any firmware for the printer in

  Wireless mode. In USB mode, it said day for the firmware.

  Dell technical support basically does not help me.

  I installed HP and Canon printers for friends, and the support was much better.

  I tried to detect the Dell Sys, and nothing happens.

  I tried to download the Download Manager and it goes to a web page that has nothing to do with the Download Manager.

  Web site is very confusing when you want to tell me what software I need to download.

  After that 4 - 5 times to remove all printers and older programs and downloading different programs, I think that I have the correct software.

  Just for grins, I just tried to print a word document, and it prints.

  I think I have the wrong software Dell printer House. Nothing works with that.

  Any help is appreciated

• New wireless printer will not see my router wireless/network

  I have checked the other posts, but their issues are a little different from mine.  I just bought a new wireless printer.  I got Samsung remote in, and no matter what they or I did, nothing worked.  We have installed drivers & everything, and my wireless network will not be displayed in the list of available networks.  I have my router sitting 2 feet of the printer & my laptop.  I know it works because I use my wireless laptop at the same time.  We tried to enter the settings manually & automatically & my network will not be displayed.  I use Windows 7 with the Avira software with an active firewall on my home network.   I have tried for a week now and I'm ready to return the printer.  Help, please.  Here are the parameters that you can request.  The only thing I can think is that I asked to be assigned and IP address because I do not know how to get the real.  Thanks in advance

  Manual settings entered: (from my home network properties in Control Panel)

  (the exact name of my network)

  Security type: no authentication (open)

  encryption type: WEP (even if the drop-down list in the printer software makes me choose wep64 or 32

  Security: wep

  security key: (I get)

  key index: 1

  To get it back to where I needed either from me has it taken about 2 months - reinstall all the programs, implemented my toolbars desktop, special etc. It's a chore because I do transcription work and have several versions of Office & I need to do something special for the transplants I don't get this error message because I have more than one version, etc.

  If you can afford it (not very expensive), buy an external USB drive enclosure and a hard drive at least as large as your installed hard drive.  Once you get your system as you wish, create a complete image of the disk and save it to the external hard drive.  Sometimes, if you buy a player and a box together, software disk imaging and cloning is included.  Otherwise, there is some disc perfectly adequate cloning/imaging programs available.

  If you get a large enough external drive, you can use it to make an image of such system which just after getting properly put things in place and make then one or more periodic images to use as backups.

  If you clone rather than image, then you can just swap the current drive for the clone.  It is more useful as a backup in case your installation disc breaks down.  As a general rule, images can be restored from the backup disk or from the software installed on your computer or by using a CD bootable you create using the same backup software.

  I highly recommend you get one of the following options (or any other similar software you can find) and make backups.

  If you have a Western Digital hard drive, you can get a version of Acronis True Image free of WD (http://support.wdc.com/product/downloaddetail.asp?swid=119) or you can get the software of cloning separately (this is not an exhaustive list and in no particular order, some are free, some not):

• Cannot set up and install a wireless printer. HP Photosmart the 427 UDP Port

  I know this question has been posted several times, and before I go, I want to report that I was researching spending last week and try every possible solution I've read. So I hope that someone can offer some new or still has outstanding question.

  Equipment: HP laptop, Windows 7, HP Photosmart Plus B209 all-in-one, Netgear WNDR3700 (Dual Band), Norton 360 Antivirus/Firewall

  My laptop and printer are both about two years. I have the wireless printer set up in my previous home on a different network (more old netgear router). No issues what so ever.

  So I recently moved into a new home, bought a new router and set up a wireless network. Everything works fine without thread; two laptops, xbox, ps3, tv, cell phones, etc.). I finally had time to set up the printer. USB works fine. But it can not configure for wireless use. I get the infamous (together with HP printers) error message that my computer cannot communicate with the printer and I need to open port 427 UDP. Tried twice more, but no dice.

  Uninstalled all HP software and the printer driver and re-downloaded/installed the latest things from HP website. Tried to install the printer and Wireless Setup again, but still no dice. USB works fine.

  And there began my long trip. Here is the list of things that I did without success, and I'm sure I did right. Turn off my firewall (norton and windows). Opens UDP Port 427 (norton and windows). 427 on my router (port forwarding) open UDP port. Maunally added the printer through windows as a wireless device. Manually add a network printer.

  I still get the same error of UDP port 427. Please PLEASE help me. tI really want to fix this and refuse to believe that something as simple as it is not repairable. Printers are cheap and I don't mind buying a new one (not HP), but I have enough stubborn to give my with trivial issues such as this.

  Hello

  Thanks for the reply.

  I suggest you contact HP support for help.

  Hello

  Based on its specifications:

  There are few options but can be more expensive than buying a new AIO printer and can also get a big headache.

• requirements of the wireless printer

  I'm considering buying a new printer wireless, but I see in the specifications that it requires a WPS router with integrated push-button. I guess that my current router Netgear WGR614 v7 is not capable of producing the expected results. Do I need an upgrade for my router or can I unplug it and plug it back to simulate by pushing the button.

  You don't need a WPS, but make the installation go much faster.  Unplugging and plugging it in to will not simulate WPS.  Either you have WPS (and his partner push-button - except Apple Airport) or you do not.
