  • Can I print by inserting a USB stick into the USB port of a printer?

    Hello

    I'm trying to use someones printer to print my work (I can't connect intot his computer). The printer includes a scanner and a copier and has a USB port on the front. My friend uses a similar printer to print and seems to be able to print documents that she recorded in PDF format by simply putting in his pen USB into the USB port on the front of the printer, options come for her to choose which document it wants to print and off she goes.

    When I put my USB, my USB content are not started, and I have therefore no options to print. The only option of PDF who came, had to print "USB Disk Pro User Manual". I pressed this option, and a manual began printing I cancelled. How is my friend to print when she inserts his USB pen, and I can't?

    Can anyone help with this?

    Thank you!

    The USB port on the printer is made to connect to a computer, not a USB flash key.  At least not usually.  Want to check your owner's manual to find out.

  • Can I connect printer to the usb port on the cable Modem CM100

    Hello

    This may seem like a stupid question, but here goes... I know that the usb port on my Linksys Cisco CM100 cable modem is an optional way to connect the modem to the computer. I wonder if I can use the usb port to connect my HP 1020 laser printer instead.

    The printer is not a network printer, and so I know that it may not work, but I have seen a few cases where a virtual port and install it as a local printer got to work.

    If I can connect the printer to the modem, and then he would give me a way to print from my laptop in the other room.  My printer is just beside my modem configuration and the router. I have a Linksys router WGR614 wireless who sees the devices on my network share, so I think he could see the printer connected to the modem (?)

    I couldn't find the answer to this anywhere. I didn't damage my equipment by blindly try this without knowing a little something. (I assume that the heart of my question is, on the CM100 usb port can be used for any usb device)?

    (I have Windows 7 64-bit operating system, in case you need to know).

    Thanks to anyone who can answer.

  • Aspire One D255E don't look for a printer connected to the USB port

    My D255E an Aspire don't look for a printer connected to the USB port.  I've never used a printer on this computer before.  Windows 7 Starter will support a printer?

    It should be.  Try these steps and results reports:

    When you turn on and connect the printer via USB, shows tasks for animation in the system tray at the right end of the bar, click it and monitor driver installation.  If the pilot goes then printer must print and perhaps scanning of base via the Windows fax and scanning utility.  To find such a piece of utility type its name in the search box.

    If the driver does not load type of devices and printers in the box to start the search, open it, check if printer is already displayed, right-click on it to open the properties, and try to print a Test page. If it does not print right click on printer again to solve problems.

    If the printer is not listed visit Support downloads of the printer Web page to download and install the base driver.  If a wireless printer, you will need the complete package to do it fully implemented.  If you want to be able to scan from the top of the printer to the PC, then you also need the full package.  Keep track of the configuration screens when you install the software.

    If you still have problems after return the exact error with photos if possible.

  • Problem after connecting via the USB port of the printer. Error 0x0000007a

    Recently, I plugged my HP Deskjet2360 printer via the USB port on my HP laptop (running w7 Home premium 32-bit) and can not print at all. When I try to print a test page I get the following message ' operation could not be completed. Error 0x0000007a. Operation failed.

    My usual Setup is to have my printer connected to my desktop (Windows XP Pro). My HP laptop is connected via a wireless connection to my home network, which is also connected to my desktop computer. Of course, this means that I have the office turned on to be able to print from my laptop.

    Everything worked great until I decided I'd rather have my connected printer to directly to my laptop via USB.

    When I connect the printer via the USB port on my laptop, windows installs the software and reported no problems. Yet when I try to print a test page, I get the mentioned error. When I then reconnect the printer to the desktop and try to print a test page to my network, I get exactly the same error message. The office and the printer still work fine, it's just that I can't print from my laptop.

    I uninstalled and reinstalled the printer on my laptop with the USB connection and the network, but it still does not work. The resolution of the problems on the laptop reported no problems, and the printer is set as default printer. I also get an another error msg when I click on the Preferences button in the printer properties: address of the 0x5aeba4f1 function caused a protection fault. (code 0xc0000005 exception) Some or all property pages cannot be displayed.


    The only way I found to get around this is to use windows restore and restore my laptop before the point when I connected the printer via the usb port.

    Any suggestions?

  • My LaserJetPro 400 printer is not recognized on the USB ports. With the help of El Capitan OSx

    Since I installed OSx El Capitan, I had intermittent problems with the USB ports to connect to my HP LaserJet printer.

  • No port USB001 virtual in the drop-down list of printer ports

    I started this question in Twitter, but due to character limited in Twitter, I decided to bring the issue to this forum. How can I add a USB port to the list so that I can connect a USB printer. I tried to follow a suggestion by a Microsoft support engineer by selecting the Local port, but it led me to an assistant who would set up my printer as a network printer. my computer on a network, is not autonomous and the printer will not be on a network either. I searched the Internet for the parallel port of PC USB printer port converter but could not find the type that could be a solution. I would be grateful if someone could come up with a suggestion to help me. What point a hopeless case?

    Unfortunately, it's a very difficult situation to deal with.  The best way to install a virtual USB port is to use the printer installation software that comes with (or can be downloaded for) the printer.  What happened when you tried that?

    Sometimes, you can install another printer connected by USB (which will install the virtual USB port) and then move things more.  You - or have you ever had - any printer connected to the computer via USB?

    You sought a parallel to USB converter means that your computer has a physical parallel port but no physical USB port (or at least no functional and available USB port)?

    What is the brand and model of your printer?
    What version of Windows (XP Home, XP Pro, etc.) you have, including the service pack?

    I went through a long thread on this topic about a year ago.  The original poster has succeeded ultimately in the installation of the printer.

  • How is to send the native port of the printer command, when the printer is set as the default printer?

    I installed on a Windows XP printer and set it as default printer.

    I also have the manual provided by the manufacturer of printers, which defines the

    commands that can be sent over the serial port, then the status of the printer

    is extracted.

    Thus, for example, by sending an order consisted of 3 bytes: 34,56,78 to the printer (COM5) COM port

    I can get an answer advising me on the State of the printer.

    However, when you send this command to COM5, I get the following exception:

    "The given port name does not start with COM/com or is not resolved to a valid serial port. Parameter name: portName. »

    for which the printer vendor insisted on request microsoft support center.

    The port name of the printer is properly set to the correct a (COM5).

    Any ideas?

  • the printer port does not recognize hasp key

    I recently bought a Dell rebuilt to replace a running xp sp3 which had overheating problems with windows xp sp3.  I am running a previous software (7.5V2 friendly technology FlexiSign Pro) program that requires a hasp on a parallel port key.  I never had problems with the old computer recognizing the hasp key, but when I try to use this software on the new computer does not recognize the HASP.  I think what may be due to the fact that my new computer printer port is configured as instead of the lpt port ecp.  Is it possible that this could be my problem and I can change the port of older style? Any guidance is appreciated.

    Thank you

    Greg

    If the problem really is whether the parallel port in ECP mode, you can switch to EPP mode in the BIOS.  Restart the computer and keep a close eye at the beginning of the boot sequence for the message that tells you what key to press to enter the BIOS (change system settings or similar).  Restart again and press the key when the message is displayed.  You will have only a few seconds.
