LaserJet 4050 TN: Try to connect old Laserjet 4050TN via an Ethernet cable

Hi, just inherited an old 4050 TN printer which I connected directly to my router using an RJ45 ethernet cable.

My PC is connected via ethernet also cable to my router.  I can not get my PC or my network to recognize the printer.

I tried to download the HP Universal HP.com and printing software that I hope, are the right drivers, but so far nothing that I allows me to connect the printer.

I tried to add the printer to my homegroup, but Windows 10 always tells me that I can't create a homegroup on my PC, I don't know why it didn't, but I recently had to re - install windows 10 and my working group worked well previously.

If anyone can point me in the direction of the correct drivers and installation software (do not have the original disk I'm afraid), that would be fantastic.

Thank you

My usual procedure would be to go through the printer menus and set IP DHCP configuration method.

Then I would have to power cycle the printer with it plugged into the router and him give 2 minutes after getting a ready state and print configuration pages.

On the configuration pages you will find the IP address that the router gave the printer, put this address in the location bar of a browser.

Now you will look at the web server integrated in the jetdirect card and you can change it for an IP address manually so it will be the same after each power Cycle.

I usually take the IP address assigned by the router and add about 22, in other words if it receives your printer an address ending the remplacer.24 par.4.

You add the printer through the devices window and printers.

Now, you can set up your device and that you add it to your selection of PC add local device, then you want to create a new TCP IP port.

When you create the new port, you use the IP address that you gave your printer.

  • Canning Internet connection drops when the computer is connected to the PS3 via an Ethernet cable.

    Original title: Shared network problem

    I am trying to use a shared network, configure as follows. My computer connect wireless to my router. My PS3, however, seems to be really slow when connecting wireless to the router and is at a proper speed when connected via ethernet. So, I have my PS3 connected to my computer with an ethernet cable. I put the wifi connection to be shared. Next, I set up my PS3 to connect to cable internet. Has gone through the steps and connected properly and at full speed too. However, there is a problem. My PC guard 'give up' connection to my router, while remaining connected to the PS3. I have to manually connect to my router again, regardless of the connection automatically option. Almost as if my PC is to use ethernet for internet access, (which he won't get that which is connected to the PS3) and so it loses the wifi connection. This abandonment happens around every 5 minutes or more.

    Is it possible to keep my PC connected to my wireless router and still be connected to my PS3 through ethernet to connect my PS3 using my PC?

    The problem seems to have 'fixed itself. I tried messing around with the connections that would not work even the bridge. Then I've switched back to ICS and did not have a disconnect since then.

    So the problem is now resolved, but don't know how?
    Whatever it is, I am very grateful for your help Manasa, it is well appreciated!

  • Satellite A80: Failure to connect to the internet via an ethernet cable

    I'm having problems to get an internet connection via a cable ethernet to my office. The laptop works everywhere else, but not in the office. The strangest thing is that my desktop at the office computer works perfectly with the same cable.

    The icon in the taskbar of configfree reads "MARVELL YUKON 88E8036 PC... 169.254.95.8"no matter how many times I disconnect and reconnect it to my office. Curiously, the IP Office when it is connected to the same cable is 192.168.1.69.

    I was told to change the tcp/ip properties manually, but I'm not able to do because I have not all entries in the NETWORK CONNECTIONS or can't seem to create a new.

    I would be grateful if anyone has any suggestions.

    Hello

    I wonder why you have no entries for network connections.
    Click Start-> settings-> network connections-> connections to the Local network-> properties

    Select the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and then click Properties.
    If you use a server in your office and the IP address is assigned automatically then all TCP/IP parameters must be on automatically

    any idea to solve this problem?
    Thank you

    You can get in trouble with your device drivers, firmware and/or software.  Go to the Device Manager by going to start / find and type Device Manager and enter and then double-click on the program icon that appears.  Check each device to a red x, yellow! or white?  These identify devices with problems probably (drivers, but also of conflict or something else).  Click on each for more details and troubleshooting tips.  If you need to get the drivers (and you shouldat least make the modem and everything you have time to do - they can help way beyond simply solve this problem), let the computer dealer or the manufacturer of the device (NOT of Microsoft Updates).  In fact, you must disable automatic updates in Windows Update driver as follows: http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-disable-automatic-driver-installation-in-windows-vista/. Follow these steps to get the drivers: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht/driverdlmfgr.htm.  Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html.

    Try to uninstall and then reinstall the modem again.  Remove the modem through Control Panel > phones and Modems, then uninstall the modem in Device Manager. Once the reboot is complete and it is reinstalled it should work (as long as you use the update of the above paragraph).  Make sure that you uninstall in this order.

    Are you sure that the modem is compatible with Vista and the rest of your system?  What is the manufacturer, brand and model?  You can find here:http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-vista/.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Can not connect Equium M70 to the Internet via an Ethernet cable

    I have recently install wide telewest broadband via the installation disc. I used the provided ethernet cable. During installation, I received an error message stating that it could not connect due to various problems.
    After a long discussion with the customer service and try several solutions over the phone we wouldn't always get connection using the ethernet cable.
    Telewest has also provided a USB cable so I was told to remove the ethernet connection and plug in the USB. The connection has been made instantly.

    Has been informed by the technical support of Telewest, that I had a problem ethernet on the laptop. This could be correct, or maybe it was an ethernet cable from the spleen.
    Any suggestions? My laptop is only four months.

    Hello

    It is not easy to believe that the network adapter does not work on your laptop. What is the status of LAN in Device Manager? When the cable is connected is the assets of orange or green led or not? Try also to start ConfigFree tool. Under the physician connectivity tab, you can see their actual situation and if there is a problem of communication it will be shown here.

    If there is any attempt of trying to test it on another network (perhaps in your company).
    You can also contact your dealer and allow it to check the device. It can be done in the store and may not take a lot of time.

  • Connection from the desktop (Vista) to the WRTP54G via an Ethernet cable

    I replaced my old XP desktop with new Dell XPS One with Vista. The old office was connected to my router (WRTP54G - Firmware Version: 5.01.04) via Ethernet cable and worked like a charm. A new won't recognize this connection - is seen as "unidentified network" with "access: Local only". The wireless connection on the same office works, but I still don't understand why I can't it be connected via cable. My XP laptop is not yet had problems with this Ethernet connection to the router - it recognizes immediately as the connection to the local network and connects to the Internet.

    I suspect there is a problem with the WRTP54G in the Vista environment, because the Ethernet connection started work immediately after I have had bypassed the router and connected the office directly to the cable modem.

    Any help to fix this problem will be greatly appreciated.

  • Can I connect my Airport Extreme base station via an ethernet cable to a counter of locus?

    Can I use my Airport Express (802.11n Wi - Fi) to connect with an ethernet cable, a locus counter that is used with a solar panel inverter?  Currently I use the hotspot to connect two different Mac computers and an Ipad.  Sungevity, Setup, told me that the signal must go in a direction of my locus meter satellite modem.  Sungevity also told me that if I can hard wire any device (such as a computer) directly from my Airport, I should also be able to do the same with the meter of locus.  Has anyone tried this before?

    Thank you.

    What is the AirPort Express you have?

    As you test, turn off the WiFi on a computer and then connect the computer to the local network <-->port on the AirPort Express using an Ethernet cable to see if the computer can get a good connection Internet in this way?

    If he CAN... and if the people of support for your solar panels have provided the correct information... then the meter will work.

    Hello

    I was wondering if I could increase my processing power by connecting a portable alternative to mine via a USB to usb cable. If anyone knows how I would go to do that, or if it is possible I would like to know. I searched on google but not found all the answers.
    If this can help, my laptop is running Windows 8 32-bit preview developer, and the portable alternative is running as Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you very much
    Mike

    Hi MichaelSenior,

    You will not be able to increase the power of a computer processing by connecting it to another computer via a USB cable or by any other means.

    In order to increase the processing power of your computer I suggest you check with your computer manufacturer to see if you can pass any hardware on your computer.

    Example: Increase the size of the memory on your computer or upgrading the processor etc...

    Hope this information helps you.
