Printer sharing problem

I'll keep this short because I think that there may well be a simple solution!

I had a network of 5 computers to work (all XP) with a Canon ip4600 shared printer. Following a failed motherboard, I now have a box of Windows 7 (64-bit, I discovered today). All works well for file sharing, but the printer installation via NM 5.5 pro will not accomplish.  When asked to do hangs just of NM (I left it for 2 hours).

I suspect that it is because the printer is installed on XP 32 bit and the '7' box wants 64-bit drivers, but I can't think how to do this job all together again.

I tried to install the printer locally on the '7' box, but I really don't want to use it as a server, so I have not tried that still share the path. Local install didn'ty help NM, though.

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    Hello

    I want to do a network to share files, printer and internet. I have already shared the internet by all connection to the access point devices through wireless and connecting the access point to the cable modem, but I can't share any file or folder.

    I tried many things to create a small network of win xp, but I failed.

    I have a wireless access point Dap1150 D-Link wireless modem 1 billion for the ADSL2 +, a PC (win xp) with a normal network adapter and an external wireless LAN adapter + a laptop (win 7) which has two cards and support network wi - fi.

    Assuming that the "billion for ADSL2 wireless modem + ' is a router, and it is configured as one.

    Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.

    Group residential network = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.

    Working network = fundamentally similar to previous methods of sharing that allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.

    Public share
    = network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.

  • Printer sharing via LAN - EPSON XP-335

    Hello

    We use 3 Macs connected via LAN (Ethernet, we do not use Wi - Fi).

    I have connected an EPSON XP-335 via USB to Mac #1, and it prints fine.

    On all Macs, I installed the software EPSON printing and active "Sharing printers", via preferences > sharing.

    but when I try to print from Mac #2 or #3 I get this message "not connected":

    What should I do?

    Thank you very much.

    Hi coxorange,

    Please use the Apple Support communities for help. From your post, I understand that you are unable to access the printer that is connected to one of your iMac, others in the House. I know it's nice to be able to print from all of your devices, so I'm happy to help you to provide advice for this.

    From the information you provided, it seems that there is some confusion about the way the printer is shared on your devices. In order to have a shared printer, you must only share from the computer to which it is connected. From there, you can connect to this printer with other computers. Perform these steps on the iMac to which it is attached:

    How to share a printer:

    1. Open sharing preferences if it is not already open (choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Sharing), then check the box print sharing.

    2. Under printers, select the printer you want to share.

      When you share a printer, all users on your network ("everyone") can use by default. If you want to restrict access to specific people, go to steps 3 and 4.

    3. Click on the button Add at the bottom of the users list, and then do one of the following:

      • Select a user in users and groups, that includes all your Mac users.

      • Select a user from the network or users groups network, which includes everyone on your network.

      • Select a person in your contacts. Create a password for the person, then click on create an account.

    4. When you add people to the list of users, access to the shared printer is reset to no access for the users of your network ("everyone"). To provide access to everyone again, click the triangles, then choose can print.

    Source: OS X El Capitan: share your printer

    Once the printer is shared, you'll want to implement on your other computers. Check out the second section of this article, titled "Add a Wi - Fi or network printer":

    OS X El Capitan: Add or remove a printer

    If you continue to have problems with your printer setup, here are some additional articles that may help you identify the problem:

  • XP Pro SP 3 firewall blocking UDP 137 and 138 even though exception "File and Print sharing" is selected

    I am running XP Pro SP 3 on a working group. I'm trying to access the files from a Windows 7 machine on the same workgroup. But the XP firewall blocking UDP 137 and 138 even though exception "File and Print sharing" is selected. When I disable the XP firewall, all right.

    Here are a few entries in the firewall exception log file:

    I did some research on another site, and I came up with the FIX for this issue. It has to do with the node XP somehow getting ready to type "Peer-to-peer". I applied the fix in this article:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/903267

    and the problem is now solved.

    Please come back and let everyone know how you fixed the end!

    However, the fact that this has happened and you don't know how concerned me (if it was my machine).

    Here's what I propose for extra cleaning:

    Search for malware:

    Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

    Remove anything they find. Reboot when necessary. (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)

    Search online with eSet Online Scanner.

    The less you have to run all the time, most things you want to run will perform:

    Use Autoruns to understand this all starts when your computer's / when you log in. Look for whatever it is you do not know usingGoogle (or ask here.) You can hopefully figure out if there are things from when your computer does (or connect) you don't not need and then configure them (through their own built-in mechanisms is the preferred method) so they do not - start using your resources without reason.

    You can download and use Process Explorer to see exactly what is taking your time processor/CPU and memory. This can help you to identify applications that you might want to consider alternatives for and get rid of all together.
