My Win7 PC still does not see XP PC on the same home network. Why?

I got a home network, connected to the internet and all the XP PC see each other. File sharing is turned on on the set. On my new Windows 7 PC only occasionally show some, not all (this varies) of the other PC in the group. When I see the other PC I can access their files compatible with the permissions, I put. Even if I tried to leave the PC to access the files from the PC Windows 7, they impossible for most, but just as with intermittent visibility of the other PC the PC Windows7 this sharing has come and go when these PC trying to access to the Win7 PC. How can I fix it? It was relatively easy to work under XP, I'm afraid that Windows 7 is causing trouble. Thank you, Dean

    Printer recognizes the router's LAN.

    Was also pointed out that the port does not communicate, can not remove it; Cannot add another...

    Printer does not print.

    How can I fix?

    Hi @AnnisMonadjem,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I understand that you are unable to print to your printer HP Officejet Pro 8600. I'd be happy to help you and don't forget to come back to this thread and check "Accept as Solution", if I have successfully helped solve you the problem. If you want to say 'Thank you' to my effort to help, click on the "thumbs up" to give me a Kudos.

    When you say 'LAN', are you referring to the network or you try to share the printer on the network?

    How is the printer connected? (Ethernet/WiFi)

    If you have noticed that the port is causing problems, please download and run the print and Scan doctor, it will be probably diagnose and fix the problem you are experiencing.

    What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (she print or scan, error messages)

    HP has several Officejet Pro 8600 series.

    What is the name and the product number of your printer? How can I find my model number or product number?

    • Update the firmware of the printer.
    • Don't hide the SSID (network name).
    • What type of encryption are you helping? HP recommends WPA and WPA2.
    • You have a double router broadband? Make sure that the two groups were not the same network name.

    If the problem persists, you may encounter an IP address conflict. It's a good idea to assign the printer a static IP address outside your DHCP range. For example, some routers default DHCP is located between 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.200. So, I would use 192.168.0.232.

    To assign the static IP address, use the following steps as a guide.

    • Print a Page of Network Configuration menu of the printer front panel. Note the IP printer. IPV4 address
    • Type the IP address in the browser to bring up the SAP.
    • Choose the network tab, then wireless on the left side, and then select the IPv4 tab.
    • Select Manual IP.
    • Enter your IP address manual (192.168.0.232)
    • Enter 255.255.255.0 for the subnet mask, except if it is different.
    • Enter the IP address of your router that sits on the Network Configuration Page) for the default gateway.
    • Please, click on manual DNS server. For the preferred DNS Server Manual please enter 8.8.8.8 and the Alternate DNS Server Manual, please enter 8.8.4.4.
    • Click on apply.
    • Restart the router, the printer and the computer.
    • Test printing and scanning.

    If the problem persists, download and run this patch rollup: resolving printing issues in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2

    • Try printing and scanning.

    In addition, if you are still having problems try the steps in this guide, HP printers - "offline" Status Message printer (Windows 7).

    Continue on, if the problem persists.

  • CP1518ni on Win7 64 bit does not print unless that ' ignore the ' is on

    I get the message "replace supplies" and the printer does not print unless the 'out' substitution is turned on. I replaced the ink once and then got the message "replace supplies" in the following days.  I installed HPPDU which refers to the series CP1510 PCL6. the diagnostic screen says everything is fine. I also downloaded the 20100616 update.  I noticed that the 'solution' ToolboxFX does not work with Win 7.

    What Miss me?  Should I continue printing under "replace" until all four cartridges run out completely, and then trust that the printer will work without the substitution on the future cartridges? Thanks for your help on this.

    Bkaytee

    Yes, it is possible that drive e-lable contact has malfuncioned.  I would say that your options is as follows:

    A. keep the game of "substitute for" will continue to work and should cause no issue. (It doesn't stop that monitoring of level of supply of Toner, then when degrades the quality of printing, then a new toner must be purchased.)

    B. contact HP support for service possible. 1-800-474-6836 1-800-HP-Invent
