  Hello

  The first thing I would do is follow step 6 in this document to set a static IP address: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02817031
  When it askes for the DNS information, enter in Google DNS. Preferred DNS = DNS Alt = 8.8.4.4 8.8.8.8

  This could increase the stability of the network connection to the printer downstairs.  If this does not help, let me know what OS is on the computer causing problem, because that could cause a problem?  Other than that, you can check the quality of the signal you get form the network and see if this can be a problem.

• printer cannot be contacted over the network

  I have a HP deskjet 656 printer that I added as a network printer. I installed it on my computer laptop windows 7, which went well. However it does not print. The touble shooter printer tells me to 'the printer cannot be contacted over the network. It works from another laptop I have but not my laptop Windows 7.

  I had a similar problem with my new Windows 7 laptop. After a power failure, the laptop would not recognize my HP printer and the error was that "the printer cannot be contacted over the network" so I spent a lot of time to solve the problem. Finally helped the simplest thing was that I removed this printer in my list of printers and added again using the "Add a printer" Wizard and it worked perfectly!

• Can someone please help to get the drivers/utilities on my Sony laptop to my bluetooth stack?

  Toshiba bluetooth stack, Sony & Windows 7

  "To continue or not to continue the reinstallation of the Toshibas enigma -" Toshiba bluetooth stack "-on a Windows 7 Pro upgrade Vista Pro.

  After a clean install, I lost my beautiful environment of Bluetooth on my laptop Sony vgn-bx51-vn in 2005 (a laptop that is like finding teeth of chicken on the Sony site).  I did a smart thing to keep the "Toshiba" Bluetooth file when I finally removed the windows.old folder after the re-installation.  Only smart because it allowed me to compare models with a pilot of 'original' newly downloaded and files utility (including msi files) Sony - the result was that there are a lot of files that is different.

  They newly installed drivers grumble horribly subject knowing incompatabilities with Win 7 (which is just a skin on top of Vista... or so I thought) and refuse to carry you.  They subsequently take you to Toshiba where you end by abandon the search for any useful help in spite of being a good faith user - no?

  Cut to the Chase.  Can someone please help to get the drivers/utilities on my Sony notebook by hook or crook.  NB. I hope just to aspire to the use of Bluetooth for something useful someday but am also irritated by the cul-de-sac which is software policy.

  Thank you very much - I.

• Can someone please help me with a problem of printer :(

  Hello. We have a Windows 7 PC and a HP Deskjet 3520 printer. Just bought the printer 2 weeks and it was working fine but now it will not print jobs off the computer! Everything seems to be connected very well and I ran a test print to the printer and it looked good. Only thing I can think of that might have caused the problem is that we had 2 power cuts in half an hour / an hour yesterday so am wondering now is just a coincidence, or it caused the problem. I would be grateful to anyone who helps. Very frustrating.

  Most often when a device does not work, it is because the driver has been corrupted.  Re-install a new copy should help

• DVD/CD RW optiarc dvd rw ad-7560 s ata device suddenly stopped working I get a "code 10 this device cannot start.

  My CD/DVD RW optiarc dvd rw ad-7560 s ata device suddenly stopped working I get a "code 10 this device cannot start.  I have uninstalled and still get this error.  When I put a CD in nothing happens.  It is not read.  Any suggestions?

  Hello

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/943104/

  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
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  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
  Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
  do it right.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
  the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
  the correct registry entries for your car.

  Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
  as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
  the parameters.

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

• LaserJet P2055DN - do not print over the network

  Configure the printer last night as a network printer (which replaces a former 2300dn LJ). It would not print a test page. To verify that the printer was good, I have loaded the drivers on my laptop and connected via usb.  Was able to print a page of test via USB.  Disconnected usb and reconnected power cable. Released and reset the ip address.  Verified the ip address in scathing of the host.   When I ping the printer I usually lose half of the packages.  There are two other HP printers on the network, a P2015dn and a color 2605dn LJ. Ping their IP back to 100% with a ttl = 255. Ping the p2055 produced 4 packets sent, 2 packets received, 2 lost packets, ttl = 64 2 returns.  I changed the printer cables and exchanged the network switch ports (verified the network switch ports by printing to the LJ 2605) with the same result. I can't get the internal web server to mount, or it partially displays or combinations of these.  If this was the old style removable print server as in my lj2300, I could swap out, but it's not like I can do with this model.  When I send a test page to the printer, it displays "printing", the green light on top flashes, the activity on the network card light flashes, but nothing happens. Finally, I get a «this document failed to print "notification on the host, but the printer still says 'printing' and the lights are still flashing.»  Anyone have any ideas?  I think I'm looking at a bad network/print the server maps in the P2055.

  I also had problems printing over the network to the hp p2055dn. There was no problem via USB printing. All the network settings were ok. Can ping, etc...

  Number of days of bickering, finally found that the Config.Security Network should be reset on the physical control of the printer Panel.

  Press Ok on the Control Panel printer--> press down arrow, you get to Setup Menu Network Config--> press Ok--> a number of arrows down you get to Config network. Security--> press Ok--> you have two options - keep or reset--> choose Reset... Network printing should work fine.

• try to print from my Win7 x 64 laptop over the network (homegroup or workgroup) to an enslaved Dell Photo AIO Printer 926

  I'm trying to print from my Win7 x 64 laptop over the network (homegroup or workgroup) to an enslaved Dell Photo AIO Printer 926.  When I look for the computer on the laptop, I find, it seems to be fine, but when I print a job, the print job is in the queue on the laptop and does not send the job to the desktop printer.  I had it once before but a relocation removed.  I'm not sure why I see the desktop of my laptop printer but cannot get it working again.

  Any advice?  Thank you

  You need the Windows7 x 64 drivers for the printer (and perhaps software and fimware) installed on your laptop to be able to print using the printer on another computer if he uses another operating system...  Maybe when you reinstalled you forgot to install these things.  Try this and see if you can then print.

  If this does not help, please post in the Forums Windows7; http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/category/Windows7 where Windows7 experts will be happy to help you.

  I hope this helps.

  OE uses IE settings.  Then configure things in IE (margins and others) and it should then apply to the when you print from OE.
