laptop is not recognizing wireless printer installed

I use Windows 7 and I have a wireless printer. I installed the printer eleven times. Every two days the laptop no longer recognizes the printer so I need to reinstall it to use it. I tried to remove the older printers after I installed the printer. I am able to delete the printer, but it manifests itself later. How can I get my laptop to remove the additional printers (which refer to the same physical printer) and install the wireless printer without reinstalling every two days?

My last laptop worked fine with the printer wireless, and there's another user who connects to the printer wireless also. I have established that it is my system not the printer.

Any help anyone could offer would be great.

Thank you!

Melanie

If you have 10 printers showing removing all but one. Select Start, Control Panel, devices and printers, right-click on the printer icon and select Remove the instrument.

    Can I scan a document to my laptop via a wireless connection?

    My laptop does not recognize my printer as a scanner!

    Hello

    Most wireless with ability to scan printers also offer a scan wireless.

    The features of the printer and Scanner are designed by the manufacturer of the OEM printer so
    You must check with their support, their drivers and documentation online and ask for their
    Forums about known issues (if any). OEM for the printer manufacturer is solely responsible for the
    functioning of the printer and their drivers.

    Not really a Windows problem.

    I hope this helps.

    Printer not responding not connections (wireless printer) is good and solid. I replaced my old router wirelessly with a router of valuation.  I had to plug it, but the printer does not respond now.

    Is what brand and model of printer?

    I do not work unless your new router has the same SSID and password wireless as the old. Consult your printer documentation to find out how to handle the situation. For example, some Lexmark wireless printers have a program called Configuration Utility Wireless in the Lexmark folder under all programs on the start menu that is used to set up the printer when changes are made to the wireless network.

  • HP officejet 6600 my laptop does not recognize the printer

    My laptop does not recognize the printer any longer. It will recognize the fax on the printer but not the printer itself. Can you help me? I have two currencies on my laptop. HP officejet 6600 and hp officejet 6600 network. Even printing for both. One network is the fax. I'm not clear what is the question. I can't even download drivers or updates for it.

    There are two 6600's in the list, a fax and a printer, because the full feature software and drivers have drivers for both. If you do not use the fax, you can remove devices and printers.

  • My laptop can not find wireless networks

    My laptop can not find wireless connections, that it works fine when I use an Ethernet cable.

    It works on 64-bit windows and has a intel wifi link 1000 series

    The most likely reason is that the wireless card is turned off or disabled.  Most laptops have this feature in order to save battery power if the wifi is not necessary.  Depending on your laptop, it is a physical switch or a combination of the Fn key and one of the F keys.  See your User Guide for more information.

    You can also check the Device Manager (click the ORB start and type Device Manager and then press the Enter key).  Expand the "Network adapters" section by clicking on the arrow to the left and then double-click the entry for the Intel Wifi Link.  Check 'Device status' in the 'General tab '.

  • Laptop Toshiba DVD RD/CD RW ROM not recognized after Vista installed

    My Toshiba laptop which has Windows Vista cannot read my ODD.  A month ago I had the same problem which was worst, could recornize not WEIRD at all.  Now, it recornizes ODD, however, after the execution of this program to fixhttp://support.microsoft.com/gp/cd_dvd_drive_problems, still reads at all.  Please help me!

    Hello

    Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
    a process that solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
    below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
    cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD

  • HP5740e all-in-one: Deputy HP5740e Print will not add wireless printer

    I recently had a problem where printing of pdf documents is out as unreadable solid ink lines. I have it narrowed down to only occurs with specific policies and only a reader of pdf special and only on my hp printer. I suspect that this was due to software updates, but I don't know if it's windows 10 updates or updates of adobe or some other updates. Now I just avoid using the fonts of the problem.

    In any case, an attempt to solve this problem, I decided to uninstall my 5740e hp software and reinstall the software in the hope of resolving the problem. Unfortunately, it has not fixed the issue but left us with a problem even more serious.

    Having resinstalled the software I couldn't add my printer as a printer wirelessly from the HP Print Wizard. He added fine as a usb printer and a web printer but not wireless.

    I added the printer wireless via the windows & Panel devices configuration printer OK. It prints wirelesslessly and via printing web so physical connectivity is very good.

    I really want that he recognized by the HP Print Wizard so that I can scan from the office.

    When I go to add the printer as a wireless printer, it detects the device OK showing its ip and mac, then goes on the installation of the printer and comes back with the unsuccessful installation of the device, and shows the red x between the router and the printer.

    Any ideas? It was working fine until I reinstalled the printer software.

    Another way to scan office without using the HP print wizard?

    All assistnce solve will be appreciated.

    The Windows Firewall is enabled by default in this version of Windows. To make sure that it has not been disabled, follow these steps:

    1. open the Windows Firewall by clicking the Start button, then Control Panel. In the search box, type firewall and then click on Windows Firewall.

    2. right click on the printer icon and select Properties.

    Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome! It is an excellent site to find answers and ask questions. I understand that you have a problem with your Wi - Fi and USB ports on your laptop from HP.

    Please take a look at this great Charter called troubleshooting wireless network and Internet. This document will help you to solve the problem of Wi - Fi.

    Have you tried to restore the BIOS?

    • Go to the Device Manager.
    • Expand network adapters.
    • Right-click on all NICs individually.
    • Click on uninstall.
    • Restart the laptop twice.

    Here are other troubleshooting steps that may help too. If the USB device does not appear in Device Manager, then it might be a question of power requirement. Unplug the machine and perform the following steps until the device is detected:

    • Reboot the laptop
    • Plug in and wait five seconds.

    • If the device does not appear, try connecting to another USB port.

    • If the USB device is displayed in Device Manager after you connect the cable to a different port, then uninstall and reinstall the software of USB device driver.

    If the device is not recognized in any port, unplug it and go to the next step.

    • Open the Device Manager.
    • Double-click Bus USB controllers,

    • Double-click on a USB root hub,

    • Click the Power tab

    • Click on properties of power supply (if it is displayed).

    Devices need that are connected to the hub are shown, as well as the power they have. If the total displayed power is more than 500 mA, remove the devices and use a hub powered.

    • Continue looking at the properties of the power of each USB hub. If the total power required exceeds the total available power for the hub, then remove a device on this hub to a decrease in the number of consumption.

    • Plug in and wait five seconds. If the device is not recognized, unplug and go to the next step.

  • How to print from my HP laptop for my Canon Wireless printer?

    I have a Canon MX410 Wireless printer is currently connected to my HP desktop computer through a USB port.  I would also like to add this printer to my laptop but it can not know!  I tried the Office of the instillation of the printer, but it did not work.

    Most wireless printers turn off wireless when the printer is connected by USB.

    I could not actually find a statement to that effect in the Canon documentation I've come briefly, but I suspect that is what is happening.  Unplug the USB cable and see if you can now get the printer works wirelessly with the laptop.

    If it works, re - configure the installation on your desktop to access the printer through a "Standard TCP/IP Port". It may be easier to simply uninstall the printer on the desktop and reinstall it by selecting "print via network" or whatever the Canon calls it during the installation process.

    Hello

    Turn off the router and the Modem - wait 3 minutes and reverse. Restart the computer.

    Some systems have a power switch on the front or side. If a laptp or a PC that uses embedded
    WiFi check/configuration settings (BIOS/CMOS) as you start - often F2 then warning screen - select-
    boar without wireless/WiFi. If the PC of a kitchen separated and system maps turned OFF and try to remove and
    replacement of the card - in fact remove - do not just tight.

    A manual update or re - stall your drivers by using these methods, do not use only the driver update as
    You must refresh the batteries of any driver.

    Actually try updating your driver and disabling the network logon. Use a wire or download drivers
    on another computer and use removable media to transfer to your system.
     
    Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click top - tab of the driver - write
    version - click the driver update (cannot do something that MS is far behind the pilots of certification). Then
    Right click on the Wifi device and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stack.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    I just brought a new Lenovo ideapad z580. It came with windows 8, which is unusable. So I did a clean install of windows 7 and keep trying to install the drivers.

    Windows refuses him acknowledge the existence of my wireless adapter. I opened the bottom to the top and I can see her, but he does not recognize. I installed the driver, and it does not recognize. I went into device management, and there was a small exclamation mark by "network controller" I don't know if this is the wireless adapter that it does not recognize. I went into bios and disabled WLAN and then restarted and reanbled it in bios and tried again all without success. I don't know what to do I am at a loss...

    Someone at - it ideas?

    The network controller is the wifi card. Try to install the drivers manually from the Device Manager.
