My printer is connected to two computers. I find that the second computer does not print unless the first computer is also on. Can I get every computer to print without the two be on?

the printer has been first on windows 7 and second on windows xp, because that's the way I was told iy had to be done. But I thought that each computer can print separeately withou t windows 7 being on.

Hello

1. How is the printer connected? This printer is on a network?
2. this configuration was already working before?

You must configure a print server. If your printer is a network printer, you can connect it to a router, and all computers connected to this router can use the printer individually. If the printer is not a network printer, you can buy the equipment to turn it into one.

See the articles below for more information:

I hope this helps.

  • If my connection interrupted by the ISP, my connection broadband (PPPoE) on my windows 7 freeze and it does not cut, and he does not answer to disconnect click.

    If my ADSL connection disconnected by the provider of the connection on my computer freezes instead of disconnect!

    As the title suggests, if my connection interrupted by the ISP (for example: Internet service provider who use dynamic IP automatically disconnects after 24 hours permanent connection), my connection broadband (PPPoE) on my windows 7 freeze and it does not cut, and this isn't answer to disconnect click, even if I uninstall the Ethernet card, keep the connection.

    Everything else works fine, and the only way to connect to the Internet is to restart my pc.

    Also if the connection is disconnected due to a traction cable or ADSL Modem power connection broadband (PPPoE) on my PC disconnect normally without any problems and I can reconnect without any problem.
    any help with this.

    Hello

    PPPOE software th whole arrangement never worked well from the first day more than 10 years regardless of the operating system.

    So most serious DSL carriers actually give free Modem/Router so that authentication would be by the side of the router WAN.

    They give it for free for phone support for this problem cost them more than the $10 adds the router to the Modem

    For example, get a router, simple routers in the United States are sold for less than $15.

    Router solved the problem PPPOE provides, security with NAT firewall, and stream DSL is actually faster than with authentication of software.

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
    2. click on the System Restore tab.
    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
    4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
    5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

    You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

    Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

    -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
    -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
    -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
    -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
    -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
    -Click OK.
    -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
    -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

  • Photosmart 8250 not recognized by my iMAC... How can I get my iMAC to 'see' the printer?

    I'm trying to connect my HP Photosmart 8250 printer to my iMAC (under Snow Leopard 10.6.4) via the USB cable. I downloaded and installed the drivers for HP printers on Apple's site, but when I go through the "Print & Fax' tile instead of '+' and then 'add printer' is not in the list of printers as if the iMAC does not see the printer...» Help please.

    Thanks for the help... Initially, I tried reseting the printing system, but has not helped.

    Ultimately after some trial and error, it seems the HP Photosmart printer is somehow 'paired' / 'connected' with my MacBook Pro. So he can register on my iMAC, you must remove first of the queue on the MBP and then it appears on the iMAC and may be included in the queue on the iMAC... even if it's just through a USB cable.

    Thank you.

    I just upgraded to a pace 5268AC router and can connect is more to my Airport base station. The base station does not appear in Airport utility. Any suggestions?

    Whenever you change the modem or modem/router to which the airport links... or... change your Internet connection process, the airport must be reset to the default settings and then set it up again to work with the new device.

    Your message did not mention if you did that, but if not... to perform a Hard Reset on the router of the airport would be the first thing to do, to follow in setting up the airport once again, just as you would if the airport was new and connection to your modem/router for the first time.

But I can problemlessly connect in other browsers, so I don't know that there is no problem with my account. In addition, I am absolutely sure I didn't misspell anything.

  • Scheduled task does not start unless I am connected

    When I schedule a task, it will run if I am connected, but if I am offline scheduler pointed out that I could not start the task.  How can I solve the problem?

    Thank you!

    I finally found out what was the problem; the program I want to run resides on a network drive, I had mapped to a network drive to the location of the file, the name of the file the task scheduler has tried to run included the mapped network drive.  When I put the absolute path to the file to execute, it worked as expected.  I discovered the problem by looking at the Task Scheduler Log, indicating that the file is not found.  The program that the Task Scheduler runs consulted files sent with the mapped network drive and it works as expected, but for some reason that task scheduler failed to start the program by using the mapped network drive.

    I want to thank each of you for your help to solve this problem.

    Thank you

  • Z30 Z30 blackBerry does not load unless it is rebooted and does not connect to the link

    My Z30 will load only if it is connected to an AC charger and the Z30 is restarted. My Z30 does not connect to my PC via USB. My Z30 running OS 10.3.2.2639. I did a soft reset (how I learned that it charges a restart), and recently completed a wipe of the device security. I bought the phone on October 5, 2014, and now is not working today.

    Hmmm... except maybe Pinterest, it is difficult to infer any specific causal event of this sequence; I hope that you have already tried to remove this app to see if things have improved. But before more destructive measures, please run the BBVE on the device to see if it provides any useful information:

    Also, that you take a LINK backup in order to recover? For example, if you know your configuration selections, the home screen configuration, add apps, claim, etc., then you can skip the backup and reconfigure simply from scratch. But note that it also requires that use you the best practice method for Contacts and calendar, in that your device does not have the data source 'master' for those, but rather some services online (e.g., Google, Outlook.com, etc.) is the master, and so when you reconfigure these data will simply restore servers, no LINK restore to get the data on your device.
