Photosmart 1115 on a home network

I've recently set up a home network with a host running XP and another computer running Vista.  My Photosmart 1115 printer is connected to the XP machine and is shared.  When I try to connect the Vista computer to 1115 printer, I get an error of the pilot saying that the "the server for the HP Photosmart 1115 doesn't have the printer driver installed.

So I go to the HP website and there is no driver available for Vista 1115.  So I check out some of the forums.  There are workaround posted this use other pilots, but they apply only to local printers.

How to use one of the workarounds when I connect to a network printer?

Thank you

On the Vista machine follow these steps: Navigate to the Printers folder, add a printer, local printer Port, Create \\xpmachine\printername (use the actual share of names for the xp computer and printer share names), then in the list of printers click Windows Update, and then select the set of Deskjet 970 in the list.

  • HP Photosmart 7260 - I get "network busy" message when you try to print from home network

    I've included just a mac pro with Snow Leopard OS on my home network. I tried to add the shared printer, but even with the IP address, I can't print. Work of all my other pc. The host computer uses Windows XP, DELL router with firmware update, the printer is connected through a router. I already downloaded the latest drivers from the Apple site. Without success.

    OKAY, OKAY.  Honestly, I'm not very good with printer sharing, especially across operating systems, but I'll give it a shot.

    First of all, just to be clear, the printer is connected to a XP machine via USB and you're trying to print via a router, right?

    Let's try the simple approach:

    1. enable the account on the XP machine.

    2. on the Mac, go to System Prefs > Print & Fax, click the plus sign "+" to add a printer, and then click the Windows icon at the top.

    3. go to the XP machine, you may have to connect to it.

    4. choose the appropriate driver in the menu dropdown.  If it does not exist, choose a Gutenprint driver.

    Yet once again, I'm not very experienced with that - let me know how it goes.

  • Unable to connect the laptop to the printer in a home network

    I just installed a HP Pavilion dv4 laptop, running windows 7 (64 k) and a router Linksys E-1000 of wireles in my home network, consisting of an HP pavilion a6150y desktop, running MS Vista Edition home premium (32 K), to which a HP Photosmart C4280 printer is connected via a USB port. All internet and e-mail functions work perfectly across the home network, except that I can't print from the laptop to the printer. I understand that the C4280 should function as a print server through the Desktop, but I can't print from the laptop. Heterogeneous operating systems cause inability to print from the laptop? Any suggestions?  The laptop has no problems printing to the C4280 when connected directly via a USB cable to the printer.
    Troubleshooting: I ran across the network installation procedure, but nothing helped. The printer has never worked since installation of network components House (e-100 of Linksys and the HP dv4 laptop) anyone can propose a solution?

    First of all, you need to set file/printer sharing and share the printer. If you have already done this and can successfully transfer a file both ways between the two systems, ignore the information of networking at the end of this post. Then you download from the site Web of HP for Windows 7 64-bit print drivers.

    http://welcome.HP.com/country/us/en/support_task.html

    Install the printer on Windows 7 computer and it should be considered during the installation procedure. If it isn't, then install the printer as a local printer instead. To do this:

    Go to the computer to which the printer is connected. Note the name of the computer that you will get to the control panel > system > computer name. Now in the Panel, go to the printers. Find the printer in question, right-click, and then click Properties. Note the name of the share. Of course you must have already set up file sharing / print on all computers involved and share the printer.

    Now, go to the remote computer to which you want to add the printer. Control Panel > printers > add printer

    Click Add a local printer. Click on create a new port. The default value in the drop-down list box is Local Port. Don't change that. Click Next. A dialog box appears for you request that you enter a port name. Type in the \\FullComputername\SharedPrintername

    ex: \\mycomputer\HPDJ (that's why you wrote the names of computer and printer in the first step)

    Click Next. In the manufacturers list, select the correct printer manufacturer and the correct printer model in the Printers list. Under "do you want to use this printer as default printer select"Yes"(if you do!). and click Next. When asked to print a test page, select 'Yes', then finish.

    If you have not already created your LAN file/printer sharing:

    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.

    The Windows 7 network type must be on "Home" or "work". The type of Windows Vista network must be on "private". "Public" is for when you are connected to an Internet connection 'foreign' as an Internet café, at Starbucks or a hotel, etc. In Windows 7, go to control panel > everything in Control Panel > network and sharing Center. Click on "change the advanced sharing settings. You don't want to use the residential group unless you have all Windows 7 machines. If you do and you want to use the homegroup, see Windows 7 Help & Support. Otherwise, in sharing advanced:

    Discovery of plug in the network
    Open the files and printers sharing
    Turn on the sharing section Public folder sharing
    Plug the password protected sharing

    In Vista, turn on password protected sharing.

    A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, turning on window file sharing and printer as the above will take care of that for you. In XP, you can run the Network Setup Wizard or just enable file sharing / print in the Windows XP firewall exceptions. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus/security with its own firewall component program, then 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. Refer to the safety of any third party program or the user forums for how to correctly configure its firewall. 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:

    Start > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
    Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

    Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

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

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

    E. create share as you wish. In Windows 7 I usually share the Desktop of the user and the Public directory.

  • Can I use 2 routers on my home network?

    Can I use 2 routers on my home network? I have a modem/router combo Xfinity but my Airport extreme must be a router that is better than what came with the Xfinity plan. I was told you can use 2 routers for various computers (iPhone, iPad, iMac, etc) and choose the one that gives the best range and result.

    Do you use a separator line and then to the cable connection? Or would I connect the Airport Extreme in the router/modem by an Ethernet cable Xfinity? In any case, what has worked for you, assistants out there?

    JIM

    Do not use 2 routers, they will conflict (without careful configuration) and even when they are not there is nothing to be gained by.

  • Why Firefox Sync does not work on my home network, but at work?

    Firefox Sync on my laptop does not work when my laptop is connected to my home network, but for example if I'm at my desk.

    The internet connection in my house is fine, I can surf the web with this same Firefox on IPv4 and IPv6, DNS etc. also works. Connection to accounts.firefox.com works also, as Firefox for the sync account. Only the synchronization process runs aground. On my desktop at home, I have exactly the same problems. When I open https://sync-209-us-west-2.sync.services.mozilla.com/ in a browser tab, I see a confirmation message that synchronization runs on this server, so apparently the network path between my computer and this server is free.

    After investigation with Wireshark, I see the TLS negotiation successfully, then packages the client was able to respond and after some time, the server closes the connection (encrypted alert). Apparently, no content is transferred between the client and the server. I have attached a screenshot of how Wireshark sees the conversation between the server and the client (sending pictures here did not work so I put on the web: http://ibin.co/1zXABHKdj5mA).

    To exclude a possible configuration problem or bad module, I created a clean Firefox profile and logged into my account in Firefox, but this shows exactly the same problems.

    Fun fact: Firefox on my Android phone will sync on my home network.

    Below, I will link two logs, a successful synchronization (corporate network) and a synchronization failed (home network):
    Sync @ Office: http://pastebin.com/rZmfrbdL
    Sync @ home: http://pastebin.com/a3KUCevJ

    The problem seems to be with your ISP - you can refer to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1118958 and they may be able to find a workaround by changing your diet or to help you configure a different MTU for the network.

    I hope this helps.

  • A certain website says 'server not found' on the home network, but public wifi site loads.

    I'm trying to access a secure site to my online school. At home, my desktop computer and my lap top came up with "Cannot find server" page on trying to connect. ALL other sites work fine. Public wifi in a cafeteria, the site works very well. I asked my school on this subject and have said I'm talking to my ISP (Qwest). I did, and they were not able to give me a solution and referred me to my school IT Department. I know this isn't a problem with the site of the school, because it worked well on a different network. I also tried to load the site Web of Chrome and IE, and none of them will not let me connect to the site on my home network.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Too bad! I thought of it on mine. I had to change the DNS settings from my service provider to a third party.

  • Sudden home networking issues

    Product name: Macbook Pro 13 inch Retina early 2015.

    OS (when the problem started): Yosemite 10.10.5

    OS (now): El Capitan 10.11.5

    The problem

    So yesterday my Mac Wifi connection dropped suddenly. So, I moved to lightning Ethernet connection which has varied between does not and VERY slow, almost unusable. I work from home online, so the last 2 days I was not able to do anything.

    I can connect to Wifi, Mac said Internet: accessible. I can ping. But can not browse and other tools such as Google Drive and Dropbox are unable to connect.

    So far, this would indicate a problem with my network or my router, rather than my right to the machine? However, my Android phone works fine with Wifi.

    Things I've tried:

    I've been on Yosemite 10.10.5. I followed all the troubleshooting steps basis and the following:

    • Reset my SMC.
    • Reset my PRAM.
    • I turned off the Bluetooth.
    • I deleted the files in Network preferences to reset a reboot.
    • I "forgot" my home network to reset it like that.
    • Running reports "wireless diagnosis" everything is "as planned."
    • Attach to the Wireless on my Android Nexus 5 X hotspot. Connects to the Wifi but not Internet after 10 seconds. Sometimes not at all.

    Then, I took a backup and upgrade to El Capitan. The strange thing is, about an hour after the upgrade, my ethernet cable was working fine again! About 14:00 yesterday at 09:00 today when I turned on it to start working.

    NOTE: I connect to the network fine, and Google Drive and Dropbox plugins start synchronization. Full report 'sync', then, after about 10 seconds, they say "unable to connect". Holding "option/alt" and clicking on the Wifi symbol in the toolbar says "Internet: accessible. Indeed, I can 'ping' very well. There is no loss of data packets. So could it be a software on my machine which has suddenly become crazy and prevents connections other than the pings? I have run Avast Anti-virus, but which has worked for months and is running as I type this. Similar posts often get answers their questions about firewalls and proxies that might cause the problem. I only have Avast.

    Affirmations:

    If it was a problem with my router, my phone would not have a problem too?

    If it's a problem with my Mac, why would Internet suddenly started working again after a while?

    I write this in a coffee shop, using their Wifi and it works fine. I don't have whatever it is off on my machine. Yet once, which suggests a problem with my network rather than the phone.

    Is this something that could be fixed to an Apple Store? As I suspected, it works very well to the coffee then probably it would work fine in the Apple store and they don't know what to do.

    I thought only try you geniuses first!

    Thanks in advance.

    It is very difficult to debug an Internet without Internet problem.

    First of all uninstall AVAST from the system. then open system preferences > network > enter your network > what is place please do as automatic. What, the other DNS settings, preferred networks etc please post.

  • Can't view the YouTube video because there is an active filter. It happens on the job and home networks and only on Firefox (15.0.1).

    After update 15.0.1 Firefox and Adobe Flash Player to 11.4, I was unable to view the media from YouTube. I was given a message: "this video is not available with the filter of education allowed.» To view this video, site network administrator will have to add to a playlist. I work for a school district and use my laptop at work so I thought that I got this message because YouTube is blocked on this network. But when I got home, I got the same message on my home network with YouTube videos. I have reset Firefox and he took care of the issue until I'm at work, and the problem happened again with the same message everywhere... I tried to post the same videos on another browser (Safari) and it works beautifully. I'm afraid that if I reset Firefox even once, I'm having the same problem.

    It is possible that YouTube set a cookie to filter which can still be seen when you connect at home. To clear cookies for youtube.com, you can use one of these:

    (1) 'dialog show Cookies' tab in Preferences/Privacy:

    Firefox > Preferences > privacy > 'view the Cookies '.

    Type yout in the search box at the top to filter the list and remove each cookie individually.

    (2) "view Cookies dialog box" in the Page Info/Security tab:

    While displaying a page on the site-

    Tools > Page Info > Security > 'view the Cookies '.

    -remove each cookie individually.

    Then, try to reload the page and see if Youtube behaves differently.

  • Need to understand my situation of home network

    Hello

    I'm having a little problem, trying to figure out how to delegate my home network since I started working out of the House. I have only the internet (100 Mbps) with no cable so I spread all my shows across various applications on two smart TVs. I also have a 7 year old who plays xbox live, I have a few home automation (6 lights shades phillips, iHome 3 caps, bolt dormant Schlage, Canary camera and Ecobee Thermostat with 3 sensors) 3 iPads, 2 iPhones, AppleTV 2, 1 macbook pro, 1 desktop and 1 iMac. For now, I have the newest Airport Extreme connected to my modem with shades phillips, Samsung Smart TV switch and and an Airport Express (Bridge Mode) point. I have the CANARIE camera and an Apple TV connected to the express. In the House, I have another Airport Express station I have my Sony Smart TV hooked up to the Wan which is hidden (I'm the only person who uses it for my iPhone). I also have one of the Apple TV hooked up to it. In the children's room, he has the Xbox one hooked and video streaming or playing games. I always know when he's on the Xbox because of the latency in the living room TV (The Samsung) or the desktop.

    My House is small enough, 950 square feet, brick ranch-style house. The bottom is being renovated to become half of my office. I see if I can do something to speed up my internet. Currently, I only shoot in, 50 MB/s, when I should be around 70 or more.

    I was looking for the Netgear router Nighthawk or a Linksys router and using the Airport Extreme as a switch. I have my office just now set up in the living room and I think move the modem to my office (10 feet away from its present location) so I can have my phone/fax VOIP hooked up to the modem and then have my desktop connected directly to the router using an ethernet cable.

    I'm trying to understand it and it has been bothering me a lot, someone of you have an idea of what would be best implemented?

    Thank you very much I appreciate your help and your time.

    Ethernet is always better.

    If you are renovating the GET home ethernet installed in the walls and several points around the House... you will be amazed at the difference.

    For wireless use never repeat... but you can use multiple wireless access Points. (installation of apple routers for the wireless is just fine).

    I was looking for the Netgear router Nighthawk or a Linksys router

    These will have a wireless range superior cf Apple... but still, you don't want to extend wireless... If the signal is not good enough... and when you have a lot of walls of brick which is very likely to happen... then have another WAP and ethernet.

  • Is there an equivalent to Firefox Sync method that can be used to synchronize Firefox on three computers connected to the same home network?

    I would like to be able to sync settings between three computers on my home network without having to go on the internet and put everything on a remote server.

    Another way would be to do it manually by using another application, for example. SyncToy, creating the correct pairings between the data on the PC.

    Firefox stores your personal data in a place known as the Firefox profile folder separate from its installation folder/files. The extensions folder Addons, although some addons may store additional data in the profile of top-level folder, extensions.ini and extensions.sqlite has the info of addons, places.sqlite holds the bookmarks and history, the prefs.js has Preferences, signons3.txt + signons.sqlite files are needed for the passwords and finally sessionstore.js for tabs.

  • Tecra A10 - refurbished - cannot get it connected to my home network

    I just got this Tecra A10-104 refurbished Laptop... before I take this back I ask here in case where theres something I missed as I am unable to get it connected to my home network.

    I use a Belkin wireless router that has 2 main (LAN) directly connected PC and another PC connected wireless.
    It's my router: http://www.belkin.com/uk/support/article/?lid=enu&pid=F5D8233uk4&aid=9238&scid=0

    All PC connected and fine work.
    Now I'm setting up this laptop to connect.

    I uninstalled the Vista Business and ussed the product recovery disc that came with the Tecra XP Pro.

    Is my wireless card: Intel (r) Wireless WiFi Link 5100 (pilot Date: 27/04/2008 - the driver Version: 12.0.0.73)

    He sees the network, but no matter what I try just does not connect.

    What I've done so far (read before suggesting things I've already tried):

    Reconfigured routers WPS to the shared key system.

    Ensured that the wireless adapter's parameters defined at 20 / 40 Hz (automatic)

    Restarted the router, cable modem & laptop several times

    Laptop wireless button is turned on.

    FN + F8 to activate BLUETOOTH WIFI (ON) (OFF)

    Wireless network added to settings Auto Connect with the end SSID and password encryption method.

    Click on connect when network appear in the revamped network and Password Viewer dialog.

    Does not.

    I would add that the laptop has no problem connecting via its Gigabit LAN port.

    Something else I'm missing?

    Thanks in advance.

    EDIT: Double post deleted.

    UPDATE:

    The next thing I tried was to reinstall Vista Professional recovery disk to see if it has suffered from the same problem.

    Wireless has worked under Vista, and despite the updates I was offered, worked without having to update all the drivers.

    This got me thinking... so the question is probably DRIVER XP related.
    What I've done now is to back up all the updates driver told me to download TEMPRO (BIOS & Manager wireless updates included).

    I think part of the problem is that only TEMPRO works under Vista (not XP) so you are not informed of any updates may be required if you upgrade to XP directly after the purchase (which is what I did).
