network printing from the desktop in Windows Vista and Windows 7 laptop

Similar Questions

• I can't open the .jpg files from the desktop using "Windows Photo Gallery" as the default program. They open normally from nowhere elsewhere, but not directly from the desktop. No error, nothing happens.

  If I right click 'open with' open with other programs like IE but not "Windows Photo Gallery". It is not a specific .jpg file, this is all .jpg files. For example... I have a .jpg file in a folder on my desktop, open folder double click, it will open in the "Windows Photo Gallery". Copy and paste the SAME file on the desktop, double-click on, nothing happens. I tried to restart, change the default value of IE, open the file, it opens, by default change to "Windows Photo Gallery" doesn't work... I am confused?

• Icons from the desktop in Windows 8

  Hello

  I tried what you suggested in this forum, but the icon just won't stay where I put them.  I looked at other forums also. Surely, there must be a simple/easy way to keep the icon where you want it on a screen touch 8.1 win computer. Are there any new suggestions or corrections?

• The ATT Uverse technician had to install a new router it reconfigured my laptops and desktop, now they work. I have a wireless HP printer, it will print from the desktop, but not the laptop, the message indicates the printer offline. Help!

  I need to know how to re acrivare my prinrer wireless, itr says he is offline

  If the printer is accessible and works and that your computer can reach it via the network, then most likely the printer has been set to ' offline '.

  This can happen when you try to print to the printer when it is not reachable and it accumulates mainly of your printing until it is put online, or it can be done manually by changing the mode.

  To change the mode back to "online" you will need to open your printers folder and right click on your printer and select "use printer online".  You can also check your printer settings and make sure that the printer you want to use is the default printer (the default printer can also be defined by double-clicking the printer icon and choose "Set as default printer").

• Printing from the Mail App Windows 8

  How can I print only the first page of an email page 4 in the Mail application? I can't find the print option when you select pages to print

  When you print an email, do you know if you can (in Windows 8.1) designate which page to print, instead of printing all pages.

  .

  I had the problem and I think I solved it with my HP wireless printer.  I have Windows 8.1, I went to Internet explore and click Tools.  Near the bottom I found 2.1 HP Smart printing so I clicked on that and installed a HP add on.  Now in windows live mail if I want to print the page, I simply do a Cntrl P and a window opens that allows me to choose the printer that I want and the number of copies, pages (all numbers or) etc.

  Hop that this solution works for you.

  Welcome to the community of HP @mikiev,

  I read your current and previous posts about how you can't print from the internet, and I wanted to answer you with my suggestions. I understand that you have tried to use different however search engines, try to return to my colleague's response @RnRMusicMan on the link below and try to use another web browser altogether. Again, if you use Google Chrome, try Firefox or Internet Explorer.

  • problems printing from the internet

  If Chrome and Firefox will not print, try printing from NotePad, which is a program that is preinstalled on your system to see if the draws work from there.

  You can also try uninstalling and reinstalling Google Chrome or Firefox, whatever one you use often, to see if that helps the printing problem.

  Let me know what is happening and we can go from there!

  Good luck

  Printer connected by USB to the Windows 7 desktop.  Printing is fine.  I have two computers on the same network of working group, file sharing is allowed.  My laptop detects the printer on the network, but there is apparently a driver problem.  The disc supplied with the printer will only install on XP and Vista, so downloaded the drivers for the new office of windows 7.  I either get a message "Failed to print" or "the handle is invalid."  When I tried to connect to the printer via the network of sharing and tried to open it, I was told that the wrong drivers were located on the server.  He had the air of a file with *. INF.  Do I have the wrong drivers on the desktop or do I need to install the drivers on the laptop?  I never had this problem with my old Vista desktop.

  Hello.  Finally, I was able to install additional drivers for XP on the server computer and can now print from the laptop.  Thanks for the 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.

• I upgraded my Vista Home premium to windows 7 ultimate, shortcuts on the desktop are not displayed, and can be created, or any folder cannot be created until the flash drive is reinserted

  during the upgradation he automatically took backup to an external flash drive, now every time I have to run has previously program I have to insert this flash drive.
  also all the shortcuts on the desktop are not displayed, and can be created, or any folder cannot be created so that the flash disk is reinserted

  Hi subhshy001,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Windows answers Forum community!

  Try this if you do not have

  Windows Explorer to create the folders and shortcuts in your document folder, drag and drop them on your desktop.

  If you have completed the steps and was not even useful,

  Follow these steps:

  Try to create a shortcut and sending it on the desktop.

  (1) open: Start Menu ,.
  (2) right-click: Internet Explorer icon .
  (3) select: send to > desktop (create shortcut).

  There should be a shortcut on the desktop .

  Make sure that the "show desktop icon" has a check against it

  OR

  Just click on the empty part of the desktop, choose new > then select the folder to create. Right click on this folder , select Rename it.

  If the steps above do not work then:

  You can scan your computer for malware.

  You can download, install and update anti-malware free of your favorite search engine and find malware.

  If the scan comes back clean, so I recommend doing a System File Checker too l to analyze your OS system files.

  To help resolve this problem, use the tool (SFC.exe) System File Checker to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. open an elevated command prompt . To do this, click Start , click principally made programs , Accessories , right-click guest , and then click run as administrator .  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow .
  2. type the following command and press ENTER: sfc/scannow (Yes there is a space after sfc) the sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions. This analysis do take some time to complete.
