Network printer down the causes

We have an HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m. We have three computers (all Dells, two areas of XP and a Win7) and this printer is physically wired via a Linksys WRT54GX2 router. We do not use the wireless for laptops, the Wii and a Kindle, but we do not print wireless. A few days earlier and not changed anything that we are aware, we discovered that light killed any printer type of network connectivity. Computers could not see each other, they could not see the printer, and they were certainly not the internet. Turning the printer off solves connectivity issues.

I googled around and found people who have had similar problems, try to connect wireless but we are wired. I tried cycling the router (unplug internet by pulling the cable, power for 30 seconds, back off, plug the cable in), but nothing helped. Any help would be appreciated.

Well, in case anyone cares, I thought that I would bring closure to this thread. We have solved the problem... buying a new router. I guess this means that the problem was not with the printer after all. I'm always suspicious as to why turn on the printer messed everything up, but in any case everything works again.

I'm always curious to know what was going on, but I guess I'll just never know.

  • Impossible to install the new printer, Pixma MG5320 without error "setting up the network printer down.

    I have a new all-in-one Canon Pixma MG5320. I am unable to get the installer to finish with on "setting up the network printer down." Despite numerous attempts to:

    (1) download the driver on the internet instead of the installation CD.
    2) with the help of msconfig with selective startup and disabled all programs except Microsoft.
    (3) creates the new administrator account and returned through it all.
    (4) turned off firewall and anti-virus
    The error is compatible and I never have the unit set up under devices and printers. The installation is carried out without any errors marked and you will see the error if you get into the details of setting up and get him. The computer sees the printer when it finds and he answers. The printer and the router, both seem to be communicating correctly. Repair auto and troubleshooting programs I ran as fix - it do not detect errors. The printer works fine through a USB cable. I don't want to continue to use USB because that's why I wanted to go wireless. I'm sure that I forget some of the things I went through in my attempts to get this working. Anyone with any ideas or know what's going on please help.

  • Impossible to print to network printer with the firewall Windows blocks the outbound connection by default

    Hello

    I just installed a network printer.  The PC is on a private network.  The printer is the Brother printer and it connects to the wireless router via LAN.

    With the Windows Firewall, which allows outbound connection by default, I can print to the printer.

    However, if I change it to block the outgoing connection by default, I can print is more to it.  I've already activated in the preset group of Core Networking and sharing files and printer.

    In the Task Manager, a single exe comes from brother's installed file.  I've already activated a special rule for it and status monitor brother now shows the correct status of this printer.

    How can I find out what rules do I need to put?

    Thank you

    Answer seems simple.  The print spooler service (C:\Windows\System32\spoolsv.exe) must be added with the exception of outgoing.  I'm just surprised, that's not in the group for sharing files and printer.

    The message is "printer is in an error state.

    If I connect the Toshiba to the printer via the USB port, it prints OK.

  • Flex 2 network slows down the entire network

    I bought a Flex 2 a few weeks ago. Installed the software Office 365 and creative cloud by Adobe. Everything worked well on both networks, I connect to.

    Today, performance on the entire network is now gone to the dogs. At first, I suspected the provider or router so crossed all the routines of standard service (this disconnect, which reboot) again and again. Same face, deadly slow performance of several PC and Mac on the network.

    Then, I hit on the idea to close my Lenovo. Suddenly, network download speed of 2 MB/s and the ping from 2000 MS to more normal speeds returned.

    I restarted the Lenovo a couple of times, from 2, 4 GHz to 5 with the same result.

    At some point when I plugged the Lenovo directly into the modem (part of the diagnosis) direct speed seemed faster.

    Because the router works perfectly with all the other machines and I haven't changed a thing on it, and because the symptoms get carried away on the network when the Lenovo is cut, I can only assume that there is something to do with the Lenovo Flex 2 and how it communicates with the rest of the network.

    I should also add that I tried to plug an ethernet cable to make sure that it wasn't just a wireless thing. Still had the slow performance.

    I'm pulling my hair out over this, if I can't fix it, I can't work (no one in my office will be able to work) and will have to return the machine...

    Any ideas?

    Thank you...

    Thanks for the reply.

    After much pulling hair and analysis where the traffic was, it turns out it was a Microsoft cloud service a too aggressive drive that decided to download dozens of large files at the same time instead of in series. This excessive series of connections slowed down the rate of time and transfer of ping everything on the network. Disable updates for OneDrive during periods of work seems to have solved the problem.

    That said, working on this, I see that updates from Lenovo is continually a significant overhead. Do not understand why it takes so resources...

    Thanks again for the response...

  • Unable to access network printer after the last automatic update.

    After automatic security update KB2660465 and KB2661637 today, I can no longer print or access our office network printer. I think it has something to do with the Windows Firewall, but I'm not sure what to change. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for the reply. I understand the problem. After the last update, it must have been a change to the firewall. I was finally able to reinstall the FIRST printer by turning off the firewall. This allowed me to see the printer and reinstall it. It worked very well after turning on the rear firewall after installation.

    Original title: network printing

    I have Vista Home running on a desktop computer with a printer.

    The printer can be reset and changed its IP address in the process [that's happened for me]. To fix this, go to the center of sharing of network &--> the map and click on your printer. This will tell you the IP address that your printer is running [the number which should be something like 192.168.1.xxx]. Then go into devices Printers &--> printer--> port--> Port TCP/IP Standard for your printer properties--> configure the Port.

    Greetings,

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    UPDATE: we have found the solution to this problem, we, and that I posted an explanation as well as two ways to solve the problem in my 2nd post on May 5, 2015. Scroll down to it for the solution. Unfortunately, Microsoft does not allow the OP to mark one of their own messages as 'the Answer' so this thread continues to be listed as "no answer" when he actually answered me.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The original message follows...

    We cannot sign a new Win 7 (64-bit) computer to a printer ethernet established in our local network of 'working '. We have reached the limit of our troubleshooting skills and expertise assistance.

    Our Local network
    ------------------------
    The printer is a Dell 5100cn workgroup laser that is connected via an ethernet cable to a 10/100 workgroup switch 5-port Cisco/Linksys. The switch is connected to the built-in cable Motorola modem / 4 port gigabit router / WiFi access point. There is no server between the printer and the network.

    Other computers on the network run also Win 7 and have no trouble seeing and using the printer. Some computers are connected via a gigabit ethernet cable to the router Motorola. Other computers connect wireless WiFi (once again, by the same Motorola device). All computers, including the new ones, are attributed to the same workgroup.

    The printer has a static IP address. It also has an integrated Web page accessible within the network via a browser to view the status of the printer. All previous computers can view the status of the printer Web page by entering its IP address in a browser.

    The new Win 7 computer
    --------------------------------
    At the Windows command prompt, we successfully ping the IP address of the printer and received a return signal. However, we are unable to connect to the IP address of the printer (and status Web page) with a browser. And we cannot find the printer when install us the printer driver. We have tried to turn off the Windows Firewall and it did not help.

    When we install the driver, move us as a 'local' printer and create a new "Standard TCP/IP Port" for her. We enter the static IP address of the printer and name the port. Define us the Protocol to "LPR", enter the name of the queue ("lp") and activate SNMP State with name of the 'public' community and the index "1". These settings have worked very well with our previous computers.

    When the time comes to 'choose printer', we select 'have disk... '. ' and use the Dell 64-bit for this printer driver. But it does not work and do not print a test page. We even tried to install the printer as a 'network' printer driver, but it does not, either. In addition, the 'local' method always seemed to work best in the past.

    The new computer has no harm to see other computers and devices on the network. For example, there is a NAS connected to the same switch Cisco/Linksys like the printer and the computer can access the NAS via its static IP address. The new computer can also access the internet. He can't use the IP address of the printer. We even tried to change the address IP of the printer, but that did not help either.

    Despite the fact that the work - the network troubleshooter Windows command prompt ping indicates that the printer is not responding. What do we lack? Help, please.

    Greetings,

    I hope that this will be our last post on this subject. We have discovered the source of the problem and can offer two 'fixed' in case someone else runs into the same situation.

    With the help of MSConfig and a process of elimination, we have disabled non-Microsoft services that were running on the computer until we discovered that "Qualcomm Atheros Killer Service V2" was the source of the problem.

    Explanation

    ----------------

    Our new Win 7 computer contains a communication module ethernet/WiFi/Bluetooth e2200 Qualcomm Atheros. The manufacturer provides a '' Killer Network Manager '' for this system. Its purpose is to monitor and control the flow of data over a network connection in order to optimize for. For example, the user can choose to give the program A high priority and program-B low priority. This ensures that the program-A is less lag in the network traffic.

    The primary market for this function, so far, has been the online game (where the name of 'Killer'). It allows players to channel the bulk of the bandwidth available to their game and away from other programs and services that are running at the same time. A response faster online gives the player the advantage it needs to get "kill him" before someone else.

    This system of control of bandwidth has interfered with data packets of return of our network, clearing communication between our computer and our printer printer.

    Difficulty 1

    --------------

    The simplest solution for us was to disable 'Qualcomm Atheros bandwidth control' for the ethernet NIC that has been accomplished by going to: Windows Control Panel > network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > change the settings of the card (in the sidebar). Then we clicked on our connection to the LAN (our NETWORK ethernet card) and select the 'Properties' command Finally, on the Networking tab, we have disabled 'Qualcomm Atheros control bandwidth' and clicked 'OK' button to close.

    All that was needed after that was a quick restart and we were able to access our printer even with the killer Network Manager and functioning of Qualcomm Atheros Killer Service V2.

    Either way, we left the control function of bandwidth enabled for wireless (our) network connection because we do not plan on using this network printer when the computer is untethered to ethernet.

    Difficulty 2

    --------------

    If you don't want the killer running Network Manager on your computer, you may be tempted to uninstall. Do not! Uninstall will also uninstall the drivers needed for your ethernet, WiFi and possibly your Bluetooth as well. We heard that some users have communicated with Qualcomm and were able to coax, on their part, the necessary drivers comm without luggage "Killer". But you don't need to do it, either.

    All you need to do is: (1) remove the 'Killer Network Manager' of the '"start up" folder of the start menu of Windows (under "programs") and (2) using MSConfig, uncheck "Qualcomm Atheros Killer Service V2" under the ' Services ' section. Then reboot and you're good to go. The killer Network Manager and his service will not work.

    Moreover, the reason for which we did not chose this method, ourselves, is because we see one deserves that available Killer Network Manager so that we can block network traffic to select programs. Solution 1 converts this easy thing because the Ethernet bandwidth control can be quickly activated again if she is ever desired. And we're leaving it enabled for our WiFi.

    We have new iPads for our busines. They are Pros iPad on iOS 9.3.4.

    It would be a great help if we could get them to print on our WIRED network printer. The iPads are on LTE

    Printers must be networked printers.  iOS supports Air-print printers in native mode (see Topic AirPrint - Apple Support) but AirPrint is specifically a wifi printing protocol.  If your printer is not compatible AirPrint, but compatible wifi, then make sure that the app store for one of the wifi universal several print apps.

    There is no way to directly connect an iPad to a cable of printer.  Or a cellular connection of LTE will help unless these printers are also connected LTE and can be seen by some App on the App store to manage printing on them.

    Is not the XP computer generate a print file using a XP compatible driver, send the file to the Vista machine, and it sends the file to the printer?  If that's true, he should be able to use the driver that is already on the XP machine.

    Extremely misleading terminology

    When you use the Add Printer Wizard you must select: "Local printer attached to this computer" even if the printer is connected to another computer.
    Only after that I tried this option has noticed the "(i) ' who says: to configure a network printer that is not attached to a print server, use the»»
    local printer option.  Indeed, he tells you to do two things in the face.

    I think that the Assistant must have been modified to only three choices: (1) Local printer, network (2) printer connected to another computer, (3) network printer attached to a print server.
    The underlying confusion is due to the double meaning of the term "network printer".
