Printing from windows 7 via a printer print on a shared machine machine xp...
Have a new Windows 7 computer. Have an old XP Machine I have a shared printer (Brother MFC 8640D printer).
The 7 machine uses drivers for the printer and print on the printer when the printer is directly connected to this machine. However, when I try to share the printer on the XP machine, it is said that he can not find the driver for the printer. I tried to download the driver from the brother Web site 7 to the XP machine with no luck (they failed 7 even as an option on their website) has tried to turn the printer on the 7 machine and make the shared printer from there and then have print XP machine from there with luck either.
Said that possible I had to upgrade to Windows 7 Professional and this could solve the problems. Suggestions?
An update will not fix this problem.
XP and Windows 7 are really different, conflicts like this are always that does not exist.
Have you tried manual installation of Windows Seven?
Try to install this way (text is incorrect, I have Dutch in English)
1. make sure you have shared the printer correctly in Windows XP
2. to win seven explore the network and dubbleclick computer XP.
(if not found automatically type the IP address in the start menu--> search like this: \\192.168.1.2)
3. the shared printer should show here, right click it and chooce 'Connect' (if not shown here, the printer is properly shared nog)
If Windows still asks you a driver, manually browse trough the list and select the printer in Windows Seven.
It should install the correct driver and must always be able to print low.
You say that you have connected and installed the printer on Windows Seven directly the correct driver should be under the overview of Windows Seven.

I was feeling of success with my Windows XP computer for years on my HP 7360 inkjet. All updates and patches are up to date. Last successful impression was about 14:34 on June 22. The current number is any attempt to print from any application provides an error that there is no printer. There is no indication on the list of printers. Microsoft Fix It says spooler is not running and the fact (even if the Service Manager said it was running). Even after rebooting, I am unable to print or add a printer through the wizard, or via a separate program from the HP Installer. I would just remove the driver library and dll for any printer and try again, but do not know how to do this, and I don't know if this is necessary, or even desirable (or will solve the problem).
The printer has been shared on the network home, but locally connected on the primary computer.
Any ideas? And of course, I have a set of criticism of papers to get out today and this weekend.
Often, but not always, the symptoms you describe are caused by a corrupt print job stuck in the queue or a damaged printer driver. However before you clean things up, on general principles, that you can download, install, update and run full scans with each of these two free programs:
AntiMailware MalwareBytes
SUPERAntiSpywareDo not operate the two scans simultaneously. Each will take a long time, so start it and then go do something else for a while.
Cleaning of printers
NOTE: If, after completing the stage has the print spooler is not always running after you launched the command "net start spooler", you won't be able to follow all the steps in "First Article". Instead, go to the other link and download and get and use the utility 'cleanspl' such as described here.
NOTE 2: HP printers have more than a number. They could be DeskJets, LaserJet, OfficeJets, or something else. If you actually have a HP Photosmart D7360 printer, download your driver here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=dj-41958-2&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&os=228&product=1156651&sw_lang= if this isn't your model, you're on your own: Research from HP

cannot print or transfer mail from windows mail
When I try to print an email from windows mail in vista I get an error message saying "unexpected call to method or property access" also cannot transfer emails
Any ideas?What happens when you try to send email?
Search for antivirus and other program interventions in WinMail. See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3
Also try to compact and repair the database and see if that fixes things (see www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/).
For the print issue, you can print from IE? WinMail uses the IE print engine, in order to check that.
