Printer network not visible in Add a Printer Wizard

HP 6MP printer connected to the Linksys Ethernet router. Two Mac computers and a laptop (Windows XP) connected to the same router. Two Macs see and be able to use the printer on the network. Laptop can't see the printer in the add a Printer Wizard. All computers can access the internet (router works fine).

In the add a Printer Wizard, under "Shared printers" only "Microsoft Windows network" is listed with the local printer drivers.

How can I get our printer HP visible so it can be added to the laptop PC and used on the network?

Did you first install the printer drivers on XP? If this isn't the case, please find them in the HP website and try that. If the printer is not seen during the driver installation routine, then there are other methods to try, but everything first, let me know what happens.

Note: Since it is a network printer, I assume that you have correctly set its given static IP address one outside the range of your router's DHCP. If this isn't the case, you do not want to set a static IP address for network printers. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

    Hi lemon tree,.

    Have you checked the Device Manager If WLAN card is on the list? Maybe just the driver is missing, so it s not listed in network connections.
    More recent WLAN driver download on the official website of Toshiba.

    By the way: why you installed SP2 only? There is already a SP3 for XP it is important because it corrects a lot of security problems.

  • Print spooler is not running. cannot add a printer

    I have a HP 5610 all in one printer. It worked fine until I tried to clean up and improve my sytem with the Maintenance of the system software. It deleated all my printers and now Windows does not re - install a printer. I get the following error: Windows can't open add printer. the local print spooler service is not running. I tried the first sugesstion to use the patch program and it detected the error and tried to fix it but I got error 1068. (Dependecy service could not start.)

    I went in the administrative area to make sure that the correct files have been verified.

    I went to Windows Explorer and makes sure there are no files in the Windows\system 32\spool\printer

    Still not able to add a printer and print anything. the Windows operating system is Vista and I have a dell computer.

    Help, please

    Thank you

    Martha

    Check the print spooler service:
    1. go into Control Panel, administrative tools, Services.
    2. scroll down to "Print spooler" service, the status should be "started" and startup type must be 'Automatic'. If this is not the case, click "Restart the service" on the left pane.
    3. If the service starts not so much that you found the error 1068 (dependencies). Double-click the print spooler service to open its properties.
    4. click on the Dependencies tab under "this service depends on the following system components: Remote Procedure Call (RPC), and then expand RPC (click the sign +) you will see DCOM Server process Launcher (you will need to close and open the services console if it is not)." These two services are also, check the list if their status is "started", start them as needed

    3 services should have 'Started' State and the Startup Type to "automatic".

    If the above does not help, you can do a system restore at the same time that the printer works.

  • Photosmart 7520: Printer Wizard does not work on Windows 10

    My PC has recently upgraded Windows 10.  I am now having a problem with the Printer Wizard.

    Previously, I had the status display, the ink levels, scan document, check printer heads, etc.

    Now all I get is a printer configuration screen that has 3 options

    -connect a new printer,

    -convert a USB printer wireless, and

    -Add new software.

    How can I get the correct printer assistant screen to run?

    Thank you.

    Hi @AJA3,

    Thanks for joining the Forums of HP Support for a solution to your problem of HP printer Assistant.

    I understand that you use a HP Photosmart 7520 e-all-in-one printer with a computer who has recently upgraded Windows 10 and now, when you click on the printer icon to open the HP printer Assistant you get the "connect a new printer"window. " I would like to help with that.

    It is not that the HP printer Assistant does not work, but probably the printer probable network needs to be reinstalled.

    I would like to start by uninstalling all software that was installed before the upgrade to Windows 10 relating to printers. Here is a support document which can help needed - uninstalling the software of the printer (Windows).

    If you get prompted to restart the computer when uninstalling, go ahead and do the restart. If this isn't the case, restart the computer after the uninstall is complete.

    Once the computer is ready, try to use the HP printer installation wizard for installation. This tool will find the most recent version of the printer software and installation help.

    Please let me know if that solves the problem, or if you need assistance.

    Indeed, if this help you to achieve a solution please click the 'accept as Solution' and the 'thumbs up' buttons down below in this message.

  • computer Vista Home network is not visible from the XP computers

    I have a home network with 4 computers. Both run Windows XP, Windows Vista is running and
    It works in Windows 7. Each group can see all the others and can access shared files and printers
    with one exception. Vista computer is not visible from the XP computers. It is visible from

  • Can not scan to e-mail using HP Printer Wizard

    HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911a

    Connected via a wireless router

    ePrintCenter, Yes

    Windows 8

    Wireless printing help online (past)

    Error message: cannot find email application

    Everything works perfectly with my new 8600 Pro except when I try to scan to Thunderbird, my e-mail application, using the HP Officejet Pro 8600 (network): HP Printer Wizard.

    I can however, scan to e-mail Thunderbird if I use the printer menu LED.

    Suggestions?

    Thank you

    Kerry

    Unfortunately, this error message is correct, that the e-mail scanning function is not intrinsically included on this model of the printer. On page 54, there is a note on it:

    «NOTE: scan to email is only supported by HP Officejet Pro 8600 and HP Officejet Pro 8600 premium.» (page54)

    Those who would be the N911n and the N911g, so that you have the N911a (base model).

    For this reason, your only option will be to use the LED display on the printer and the application through web services.

  • No printer in the print, only icon in the "Add printer" Wizard dialog box

    Windows XP Professional - Version 2002 - Service Pack 3

    What would cause the print dialog box does not show printer, only the icon of the Add Printer Wizard?

    This occurs in only one (Eclipse) application on the PC.

    There are 20 printers in printers and faxes.

    I can not completely through the Add Printer Wizard and it will be case add a printer and/or set as default, if specified printer.

    However, the print dialog box displays always no printer.

    7 developers here, 2 have Windows XP, with the rest on Windows 7.

    Only two XP machines have this problem with this particular application.

    Windows 7 machines have the same version of the same application, but the print dialog box normally works for them.

    If I understand you correctly, everything works fine except the print in a particular application dialog box.  If this is the case, then maybe you should ask the promoters of this request for help/comment.

    Otherwise, given that the problem seems to be in the interaction between a particular application and a few Windows print API (probably the Print spooler API), you will be much more likely to find competent people to MSDN or TechNet.  Unfortunately, given that XP is on its way, it has only a single forum TechNet for XP but there is a Vista printing forum who may be of assistance.

    The Windows printing team blog seems to have been inactive for a while.
