Network printer connection

• Network printer connection is lost.

  Periodically, my network printer refuses to print. When I check the port, I note that the ip address of the port does not match the ip address of the printer. Changing the port on the one with the correct IP address does not help.

  Reboot is my usual although solution removal and reinstall of the printer also works.

  I think it's because of the IP being determined by the router (DHCP) and material being enabled in various sequences results in the IP address changes. Router Linksys WRT310n, printer HP 3600n, OS is XP Pro and Vista

  How can I get the print spooler to restore the correct link when it changes. Under XP I checked an option that says keep connection by same name so changes to port, but it does not seem to have an effect.

  Hello

  After establishing the static IP, or IP reservation. You can do what you were doing, or remove and reinstall.

  The important thing is to provide peripheral network address (printers, servers, NAS, etc.) which does not change, while they are still in the same place.

• Photosmart all-in-one printer: loss of the network printer connection

  My wife has worked with verizon until our internet high speed - it was realized from wep to wpa2 - it has helped our speed but now the printer does not connect to our network eventhough our network name and password are correct. How can I get this fixed?

  Most likely, you will need to re-run the installation of the network.

  Since you changed the encryption WPA2, the printer needs to know this!

• install a printer driver xp to a network printer connected to a windows PC 7

  Windows xp computer is a pentium 3.  64-bit version of Windows 7 is an I7 computer. the printer (epson stylus photo rx600) is usb connected to the computer, windows 7. router ethernet connected home network is set up, but have been unable to install driver epson windows xp 32-bit on windows 7 in the printer sharing, add the printer driver for other versions of the dialog windows.

  You can not install the 32-bit drivers on 64 bit systems. Share the printer in windows 7. Go to add a printer under XP and find the shared printer (select non-local network). Also make sure, both computers have the same workgroup name

  You may need to extract the first 32-bit printer drivers, then when it asks
  for pilots, it points to the folder created, point to the inf file. However NOT all printers support sharing. Even tho its got the sharing option

• Vista - > slow to a Vista client vista network printer - connection

  I have a Vista computer with printers and two computers sharing portable conecting to it over ethernet.
  Print to the shared printer is a portable XP without problem. FRM the vista customer it takes a long time to print our a page for example internet exproler show does not and after 5 minutes I got the print dialog box and when you press OK, it "does not" for another 5 minutes before the actual start of printing.
  I tried to remove/connect printer, update the network, software drivers of registry fix etc.
  When you run FixIt MS it takes about 5 minutes to connect, 5 minutes to check ink cartridges etc but not problem is presented at the end after 25 minutes :-)
  Printer is HP PSC 2110 all-in-one, but I don't think that is the question.
  In addition to printing the rest of the machine Vista works fine.

  No idea what to try next?

  Hello

  It has proved to be a problem with the dns timeouts

  When ping was a slow response because dns has expired (the provider dhcp) and then I guess that wins or similar was used to find the ip address. When you add the name of printerserver and intellectual property on the vista pc that has solved the problem.

• Network Vista and XP - connection to the network printer problem

  I try to print to a network printer connected to a vista from a computer xp machine

  Two computers on a network
  Vista machine is connected through the ethernet card and has a connected printer
  XP machine is via wireless network

  Both machines have the same network name "mshome".
  Open ports on the firewall and also left Software Firewall

  When I print a job, I see it be wound on the info from the printer on both machines, but then, it is automatically deleted.

  I am able to access the hard disks from two computers

  The printer works this way, when you share a printer between XP and Vista where the printer is connected to Vista, XP will communicate with the printer and its drivers Vista.

  So as I suspected it was due from pilots, in your case XP will be offered 64 bit readers which it does not recognize

  If we rely on the printer connected to the Vista 64-bit operating system operating system 32-bit, we need to install the additional drivers (especially the XP must be with 32 bits, only 32 bits of the operating system will not show if it's 32-bit or 64-bit)

  So in this case, you must right click on the printer on Vista and go to the sharing tab, and then click additional drivers, it will be the operating system and Version to select and you will need to select Windows XP x 86 and install the drivers

  Now your Vista will be the 32-bit and 64-bit drivers installed. Now, when you share the printer, when the Contacts XP Vista, Vista has drivers and it will be able to share the printer correctly. Anish

• Cannot add a network printer

  I have a problem with the printer! I have a network printer connected to my router via ethernet. I use the printer via wifi of two macbooks.

  I got an error 'printer not connected' and have already tried the following several times:

  • reset the router
  • restarted the printer
  • Reset my printing system
  • renamed the folder library/printers
  • reinstalled my driver of Canon software
  • fact a boot secured my MacBook, then a normal departure

  When I try to add the printer again (of course it was removed by rebooting) I don't see anything via Bonjour (in the default tab). The printer has a valid address (via DHCP) and I can ping to my macbook. I also tried to add the printer through the address IP (IPP) - it does not print.

  I get all printing stations I can find no joy... help please!

  This morning, I tried to add a printer, and - as the magic - my printer appears in the window by default. Quickly, I added, print a test page, and then other PDF via Preview. Awesome! Then I tried to print a poster with Acrobat Reader, and I'm back for the message "printer not connected" that marked the beginning of my problems a week ago. Again, I have reset the printing system, even reinstalled two versions (more recent and earlier) drivers. I can ping the printer, but cannot add via IP either.

  I searched more problems and solutions print, but in vain.

  Help, please!

• do not print to the printer wireless network computers connected to wifi

  Don't know if I'm in the right Forum but here goes.  I work in a dealership service department. I have 4 computers connected to our network. I just bought a pro m426fdw mfp laserjet 4 in 1 ad printer connected to our wifi system because there is no available ethernet jack to connect to the main network. Is there a way to allow my 4 computers send information about this printer wireless?

  If you connected to your wireless network, and then run a report of network printer and find the ip address of the wireless connection. If you're in the list use to load the printer using add it printer, the local printer, create a port and the menu drop-down, choose standard tcp/ip and then follow the instructions on the screen. You can also try to load the disc that came with the printer and see if it will find the printer and load it for you.

• Unable to connect to a network printer, but can see and discover

  I'd appreciate any help with this: I have exhausted my Google searches for most of the day, and Microsoft support articles are of course a great help.

  The problem: I have a printer installation on one of the XP Home computers in our home network (all the XP Home computers). I am trying to connect to this printer from another computer, but I'm unable to add through the "Add printer" Wizard While I can see the printer in the list of printers on a network (including two other printers on other machines that work), when I try to connect to this particular printer in question, I am struck with a challenge to connect with what seems to be the guest account on the computer. There is no password for this account so I leave the password blank, and I then told me that I do not have sufficient permissions. I don't know what to do.

  A few pieces of my Google-ing info that may be useful:

  (1) I made sure that the guest account is enabled and even perform the active command of the net user on the computer in question.
  (2) I use Windows Firewall and I said to turn on the printer and file sharing and have exceptions for such.
  (3) I use Microsoft Security Essentials.

  (4) given that it is XP Home of course I can't access everything related to security or other policy.

  In addition, whenever I try to access this computer on the Working Group, it says I have "insufficient permissions". I don't know what it means that I've never been specified no restrictions when I ran the Network Setup Wizard.

  Windows networking works better if you have matching user accounts password on each machine rather than try to rely on the guest account (which is a security hole).

  See the following tips from the old MS MVP Malke.  He's old, but it's always good.  Not everything can be applied to your situation; Take the parts that do.

  The best and simplest is to buy a wireless router. This way you get Internet connectivity both machines and the added benefit of security more between you and the Internet. Then you configure your network wireless safely, and then you configure file/printer sharing. Here is information on the implementation of a router and also in networking. It seems long, but don't be intimidated. Setting up a router and the LAN of sharing between two computers takes about 15 minutes.

  The router configuration

  Setting up a router is simple enough. Normally, you run the CD that came with the router and follow the instructions. If you're running Vista, maybe the CD that came with the router does not work; I do not know this. But you can set up the router without the CD. Note that if you have Internet cable for the connection you have just set up the router to DHCP (or there may even be a choice of cable to choose). If you have DSL Internet, you select TRP usually and enter the username and password you selected when you initially set the DSL connection. So:

  1. turn off the power to your cable modem.

  2. attach a cable (usually supplied with the router) course Ethernet cat5e Internet/WAN port of the router to the Ethernet port on the cable modem.

  3. connect the ethernet cable cat5e from the network card in your computer to one of the ports on the router. If you do not have an ethernet cable (because you were using USB), you will need to go to the store and buy a.

  4. turn on the cable modem. After that all the lights are on, turn on the router.

  To configure the router:

   

  Have a computer connected to the router with an ethernet cable. Examples given are for a Linksys router. See the manual of your router or the router mftr's Web site. for the parameters by default if you don't have a Linksys. Open a browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox and in the address bar type:

  http://192.168.1.1 [Enter] (it is default IP address of the router, which varies from router to router then check your manual)

  This will bring you to the login screen of the router. The default username is blank and the Linksys default password is "admin" without the quotes. Enter this information. You are now in the configuration of the router utility. Your configuration utility may be slightly different from mine.

  Click the Administration link at the top of the page. Enter your new password. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE. Re-enter the password to confirm it, and then click Save settings at the bottom of the page. The router will reboot and show you the box of connection again. Do not fill in the user name and put it in your new password to enter the configuration utility.

  Now, click on the link wireless at the top of the page. Change the network name (SSID) wireless by default to something, you'll recognize. I suggest that my clients not use their surname as the SSID. For example, you might want to name your network wireless network "CastleAnthrax" or similar.

  Click on save settings and when you get the prompt that your changes were successful, click the wireless security link which is just beside the Basic Wireless Settings link (where you changed your SSID). If you have a newish computer, you will be able to affect security WPA2-Personal Mode. Do this and enter a password. The password is what you enter on all computers that are allowed to connect to the wireless network. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE.

  At this point, your router is set up and if the computer that you use to configure the router will normally connect wireless, disconnect the Ethernet cable and wireless of the computer should see your new network. Enter the password you created to join the network and start surfing.

  B. file/printer sharing of

  Excellent, comprehensive, but easy to understand article on sharing files/printer under Vista. Contains information about sharing printers and files, and the folders:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx

  For XP, start by running the Network Setup Wizard the on all machines (see warning in section A below).

  Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused by 1) a misconfigured firewall or a firewall neglected (including a dynamic firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently run two firewalls such as the firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall. and/or (3) do not have accounts to the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup. (4) tries to create actions where the operating system does not.

  A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, it means which allows file sharing / print on the Exceptions tab normally run the XP Network Setup Wizard will take care of this for these machines. The only "witch hunt", it will turn on the XPSP2 Windows Firewall. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus with "Internet Worm Protection" (like Norton 2006/07) which acts as a firewall, you're fine.  With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN with an IP address range. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Obviously you would substitute your correct subnet. Do not run more than one firewall. DON'T STOP FIREWALLS; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

  (B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This is done from the System applet in Control Panel, the computer name tab.

  C. create the counterpart of the user accounts and passwords on all machines. You do not need to be logged into the same account on all machines and assigned to each user account passwords can be different; accounts/passwords just need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to boot directly to the desktop (a particular user account) for convenience, you can do this. The instructions on this link work for XP and Vista:

  Set up Windows to automatically connect (MVP Ramesh) - http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Autologon.htm

  D. Si one or more of the computers is XP Pro or Media Center, turn off Simple file sharing (Folder Options > view tab).

  E. create share as you wish. XP Home does not share the users directory or the Program Files, but you can share folders inside those directories. A better choice is to simply use the Shared Documents folder. See the first link above for more information on Vista sharing.

  F. you have the job of file sharing (and tested by exchanging a file between machines), if you want to share a printer connected locally to one of your computers, share of this machine. Then go to the printer mftr Web site. and download the latest drivers for the correct system. Install them on the target machines. The printer must be collected during the installation procedure. If this isn't the case, install the drivers and then use the Add Printer Wizard. In some cases, printers must be installed as local printers, but it is outside this response.

• OfficeJet Pro 8600 all-in-One connected as network printer loses connection

  In December 2011, I bought a HP Officejet Pro 8600 all-in-One to replace an Officejet 6500 as my network printer home. The 6500 worked very well on my cable, but his screen did not, I tried some of the features offered by the 8600 and I got a good price on a new warehouse of BJ. I have the 8600 connected via ethernet (not wireless), with a static IP address. All my computers on the network are running Windows XP Pro SP3 and are up-to-date with Microsoft updates. However, from one day to the next my 8600 will lose connectivity scan (Scan of the computer shows it as being disabled on all my computers at the same time, and I can't reconnect), and if I do not have anything he'll (as in a few hours) also lose connectivity impression. The only way to restore connectivity is to uninstall the HP Officejet Pro 8600 device software basis of all computers, and then reinstall the printer. I had a phone conversation and two debates with HP Technical Support; They suggested that the problem is in the firewall on the computers (but if that were the case I don't think that the loss of connectivity would occur on all computers at the same time), the IP address setting (doesn't make sense) and the printer driver is not not the latest version. I tried all the suggestions, and none of them have solved the problem. The last counselor "has raised the issue to the next level", which proved to be a Manager with no technical expertise and his only suggestion was that I have to return the printer to the merchant. I think the problem is the firmware in the printer (which, according to the 'update' on the printer option, is the latest version). Any other suggestions or experience?

  After a lot of research and find the settings that I did not know that Windows XP offered, I found that the following appear to have solved the problem I've known - at least the printer is now operational for more than 48 hours without losing printing or scan connection. Here are the steps I used:

  1. Start Control Panel  connections network and Internet

  2. Choose "network connections."

  3. Right click on "connect to the Local network.

  4. Choose "Properties".

  5. In the top window is the name of the Ethernet computer connection port, select "Configure" next to this window

  6. Select the tab labeled 'Power Management'

  7. Uncheck the box "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".

  8. Select the "Advanced" tab

  9. Select the entry "power saving Mode".

  10. If this entry is set to change 'On' to 'Off '.

  11. Select 'OK', and then close the windows that were opened

• Network printer not connecting not after Windows update.

  Vista.  Network printer does not connect after an automatic update of windows unknown.  However, requested document printing to a printer wireless unselected, connected to the same network, if the wireless printer is activated.

  Not having received a response to my follow-up question/information, I decided to "Just Do It" on mine.

  I deleted the printer listed as the wireless HP6300 and added back, once again as a network printer.  Not "Uninstall".  (I did on each computer using this printer.  Everything worked perfectly.  Both printers still coexist on the same network and works perfectly.

  As far as I know that something like an update of Windows, change the IP address of the "network printer" at the same IP address as my printer 'Wireless '.  When I deleted and added the HP6300, he returned with the correct IP address.  If anyone has another explanation, I'd be interested to hear.  This problem has also affected two of my friends systems.
