Network printer with XP and Vista

I initially installed my printer (Canon i850) on the XP computer, then I disconnected the USB cable and plugged into the Vista computer.  Vista has found a driver and it worked.  Then I put in network computers via ethernet and a router.  Now, I try to add the printer as a network printer on the XP computer, but he can't find a driver.  Computer that needs a new driver and what type?
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".

My problem is now solved, but not through Microsoft or you guys.

  • 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.

  • HP officejet 8600 not find network printer (macbook pro and windows 7)

    I have installed the new software, set up the printer on the wireless and I can see the printer on my Airport Extreme, but I'm not during the game to the top (I can print via USB). I pulled out of Installer and is went on the forums and found a similar problem with an OfficeJet 6700. I followed the instructions given to the downloaded drivers from Apple. I could then see the printer online... briefly. I even hit print, got 12% in the printing process, but it died on me (not printed). I restarted/rebooted everything (printer, macbook pro, computer windows laptop and router) and no dice. I added the printer manually on the mac using the IP address, and I can see it. It gives me even a Green State, but when I try to print a document, the State of the printer is busy and turn until I have delete the print queue. I don't see anything when I'm in the box ' print and scan "to the default setting, that I should be able to.

    Any ideas out there?

    I thought of it. I have a router using a double NAT and I had put the printer on the network of comments, as almost all of my devices are out there, but comments network does not allow access to other devices, only allow access to the internet. Installs everything other than mobile devices at "home"network and everything worked."

    Thanks for the help!

  • Printing with Safari and Firefox

    Lately, some sites say that they do not support older SAFARI browsers. When I print something, print is extremely low, even with a new print cartridge.

    When I print with FIREFOX, printing is crisp but the print menu displays the pages. Therefore, I'm not able to select the pages I want to print. Is there a solution?

    Firefox uses its own printing Panel and has a button down, which will display the details display or hide details (abbreviated Panel). The ability to print _ to _ is available on the largest panel display details.

  • Difficulties of printing with C309 and a Mac

    I have a c309 printer all in one, and I can't print or scan from one of the two MacBook on the network.

    The printer is connected to the same network wireless laptops (and iPad) that is done by an Apple AirPort Extreme point. All devices are conencted to the internet successfully.

    The printer is also installed on the network; the wireless network test report all results "in passing".

    In the menu of the printer on the first Macbook (running OS X 10.7), I am able to find the printer by name and add it to the list of printers.  In details, the printers serial number is visible. However, I'm unable to see the level of ink, I am able to print. The same problem for the other Macbook that is running OS X 10.6).

    I was through the different troubleshooting guides, but not able to find a solution. I tried to access the features of the printer/scanner via the integrated Web server as well, but nothing is displayed.

    I tried also to access the scanner via the touch screen, sending the scan to a computer, but I get a message that I must try the analysis of a computer directly.

    I only am not sure what the problem is here, but would appreciate assistance. Thank you.

    Thanks for the quick response.

    I downloaded and installed the new drivers, then restared the system, reset the system print and then re-connected to the printer. The system found the printer and it is now defined as the default value.

    However, when I try to print, I always get a message that printing is 11 per cent, while the printer does not respond. I tried to run a scan of the Macbook, but the work is never done, rather the process hangs. I tried to access the settings of printer ink levels and even a message that information is not available. I tried to include screenshots, but I guess I'm unable to upload to the forum.

    Thus, using the interface touch the printer, I have successfully reset the network settings, successfully reset the network connection, and then print page report and the test configuration to provide connectivity, and finally I've updated the software of the printer itself, if it took a few tries.  (In fact, I had tried this before but could not download updates) And now, finally, everything works! I can print or scan from either the MacBook.

    Thanks for the help.

  • How can I print with black and white cartridge only?


    Hello

    Unfortunately, it is not possible to print using the black and white, while one of the ink cartridges are empty.

    Using black ink only possible while there's ink color as well.

    While the color ink is not required for the purposes of printing, there are required for, maintnance operations of the device.

    As the appliance contains an internal printhead (IIC() system, lack of color ink can damage the system shortly. This is why the device is not functional when there is no ink in order to prevent damage to the system.

    For users who wish to print using just black ink (despite the reduced print quality), many HP printers offer options. For example, a driver colour setting (by selecting "print in greyscale with the black cartridge only" in printing preferences) specifies printing using only black ink. In addition, many IPH printers can operate in "reserve mode", which allows the user to continue to print with just the black cartridge when the colour cartridge is removed or not installed.In HP IIC systems, all supplies are required to be installed in the printer for the printer to function

  • Print with APEX and EBS

    Hi gurus
    I have sucessfully integrated APEX with EBS, do a lot of reports on data from BSE.
    These reports are visible on the screen, but now I need a paper printed some of them.
    After having read a lot of literature, I realized that I need a print as BI Publisher server.
    I'm not sure but I think that EBS uses a similar architecture for printing, with a print server actually generate output.
    Is this correct? If that is correct, can I use the EBS for APEX printing print server? How can I do?

    I use APEX 3.2 and EBS 11.5.10

    Thanks in advance
    Oscar

    EBS has a version of BI publisher, but previous assignments, it was noted that the version of bi publisher integrated with EBS is NOT a version that runs with the integration of the APEX...

    Thank you

  • Network printer with Win 7 32 and 64-bit PCs

    I'm confused about how I'm supposed to implement my F4180.

    I directly connected to a printer under Windows 7 64-bit.

    I have 2 other computers on the netwrok running Windows 7, 32-bit.

    I have a F4180 directly connected to a PC with Windows 7, 64 bit.  I installed Windows 7, 64-bit drivers on the PC directly connected and everything works fine on this computer.

    Am I supposed to use the thing to install additional drivers and install Windows 7, 32-bit driver on the PC too so that Windows 7, 32-bit PCs can print correctly?

    Or can I install Windows 7, 32-bit driver on the other computers themselves?

    If I install the drivers 32-bit on 32 PCs bit or not, it doesn't seem to matter.  Also printers print fine, but when I click on customize your printer, then on Preferences, I get a windows protection error.  Thus, from the remote PC, I can't change the printing quality and that sort of thing.

    What is the right way to do this?

    Try the following: on 32-bit computers go devices and printers folder, add a printer, a local printer, create a Port, Local Port, \\Computername\Printername (use the name of the actual share of the computer and the printer), OK, and then click Windows Update, and then select HP Deskjet F4100 series.

  • Laptop unable to connect to a network printer with WRT54GL Wireless

    Recently, I replaced an old router with a WRT54GL. Initially, I had the installation of the network without security and my PC and laptop had no problem connecting to the printer (Samsung CLP-600N). After that I enabled the security, the laptop can not send jobs to the printer. The discovery software that comes with the printer can find it; It can not all just print to it. My PC (wired LAN) allows to print, but not the laptop wireless.

    As you already know the IP address of the printer, then you need to manually add the printer on your computer port. What is the operating system installed on your computer?

    You can follow this link to add ports on your computer, its for windows 7.
