Problem connecting a network printer

I have a new Dell XPS 27 and I try to install my printer on a network of Samsung. The printer is connected to a Netgear NAS via USB. The NAS is attached to my router wireless via the Ethernet cable. I downloaded the Samsung Windows 8 universal printer driver from the installation diskettes that I have for the Samsung printer are only good through Windows 7. The printer appears in the printer list, and I see it as attached to my NAS on the network. But he is still asleep when I try to print a test page. I don't think that it installed properly as a network printer, although I used the same steps (but with the Samsung installation diskettes) under Windows 7 on my old computer. Any suggestions?

I tried to download the driver and install it again as a network printer, but by using the server\\printer option to choose the printer and it seems to have worked. I can now print to the printer.

  • Problems connecting to a printer (Brother HL-2140) network

    How to connect to a network printer from a Win7 PC.

    RT is the shared printer on the network, but can not find the driver (it tries to search for the update of MS for one).  Site said Microsoft printer compatibility is supported in the CR (Brother HL-2140).

    I can browse the Brother website for the driver, but it comes as an exe that RT does not run, instead of just a driver file.

    Have you tried to install it as a USB printer, then changing the USB port to the LAN. In the case of a connected network add a new point to the IP of the printer TCP/IP port, so attached via another PC create a local port, but the name of the UNC path of the printer path is \PCNAME\PRINTERNAME.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 all-in-One connected as network printer loses connection

    In December 2011, I bought a HP Officejet Pro 8600 all-in-One to replace an Officejet 6500 as my network printer home. The 6500 worked very well on my cable, but his screen did not, I tried some of the features offered by the 8600 and I got a good price on a new warehouse of BJ. I have the 8600 connected via ethernet (not wireless), with a static IP address. All my computers on the network are running Windows XP Pro SP3 and are up-to-date with Microsoft updates. However, from one day to the next my 8600 will lose connectivity scan (Scan of the computer shows it as being disabled on all my computers at the same time, and I can't reconnect), and if I do not have anything he'll (as in a few hours) also lose connectivity impression. The only way to restore connectivity is to uninstall the HP Officejet Pro 8600 device software basis of all computers, and then reinstall the printer. I had a phone conversation and two debates with HP Technical Support; They suggested that the problem is in the firewall on the computers (but if that were the case I don't think that the loss of connectivity would occur on all computers at the same time), the IP address setting (doesn't make sense) and the printer driver is not not the latest version. I tried all the suggestions, and none of them have solved the problem. The last counselor "has raised the issue to the next level", which proved to be a Manager with no technical expertise and his only suggestion was that I have to return the printer to the merchant. I think the problem is the firmware in the printer (which, according to the 'update' on the printer option, is the latest version). Any other suggestions or experience?

    After a lot of research and find the settings that I did not know that Windows XP offered, I found that the following appear to have solved the problem I've known - at least the printer is now operational for more than 48 hours without losing printing or scan connection. Here are the steps I used:

    1. Start Control Panel  connections network and Internet

    2. Choose "network connections."

    3. Right click on "connect to the Local network.

    4. Choose "Properties".

    5. In the top window is the name of the Ethernet computer connection port, select "Configure" next to this window

    6. Select the tab labeled 'Power Management'

    7. Uncheck the box "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".

    8. Select the "Advanced" tab

    9. Select the entry "power saving Mode".

    10. If this entry is set to change 'On' to 'Off '.

    11. Select 'OK', and then close the windows that were opened

  • Problems connecting to wireless printer

    I have a HP photosmart D110 printer. Most of the time, it has been great so far, but sometimes it disconnect and won't let me print. Now, he says that it is offline and no matter what I have changed nothing. I used the HP print and scan doctor but it says that it cannot connect with my camera. After exhausting all other options, I decided to uninstall and reinstall the software. Well, I tried to reinstall with the officail for my printer HP software but it does not work. Whenever I put the IP address of the printer in, the screen will say that it has not been found. So I tried to find the IP address without type me into it, but it still does not work. I have a wireless connection to my laptop, laptop to my printer. I can connect to the printer itself to my network, but of course, now that the software is uninstalled I can't do anything.

    I am really stuck and need help.

    Well, you will need to read the manual of your router and your printer manual.  Go to your printer support page and searching the web site of HP using too.

  • Problem connecting to a printer USB to Equium A60

    I tried to connect a USB printer, Photosmart C3180, to my laptop Toshiba Equium A60 model but when I load the software and follow the instructions it seems to load correctly, then at the end the following error message appears "specified Port unknown".

    I tried everything the printer manufacturing suggested and even downloaded the latest Toshiba BIOS updates, but this still does not work. The PC detects new hardware but won't install it.

    I tried with another USB printer and the same message appeared.
    Any ideas?

    It seems that the printer port name specified does not exist on your computer.
    You must use the Print Manager to see the current list of ports, you can print and use one of these.

  • Laptop unable to connect to a network printer with WRT54GL Wireless

    Recently, I replaced an old router with a WRT54GL. Initially, I had the installation of the network without security and my PC and laptop had no problem connecting to the printer (Samsung CLP-600N). After that I enabled the security, the laptop can not send jobs to the printer. The discovery software that comes with the printer can find it; It can not all just print to it. My PC (wired LAN) allows to print, but not the laptop wireless.

    As you already know the IP address of the printer, then you need to manually add the printer on your computer port. What is the operating system installed on your computer?

    You can follow this link to add ports on your computer, its for windows 7.

    If its windows Vista, you can follow this link.

  • Equium A200-15I - cannot connect to networks

    I have an Equium A200-15I and unable to connect to wireless networks. I can connect properly to my network wireless at home and in the past have had no problem connecting to networks wireless in other places.

    However, recently I have been unable to connect to random networks, some security enabled (for which I have the password) and one that was not secure, but that I have connected to in the past (to my parents house in the middle of the campaign, so no need to secure). He found fine networks and I can click on connect and put the password and then it flashes just between IP address acquisition and disconnected and not connects. I know that passwords are correct. I tried connected to the network woreless manually, and the same thing happens. It's really frustrating.

    I also have problems in playback of some DVD.

    I would appreciate help with this.

    Thank you

    Hello

    The WLAN driver is perhaps the reason for this and the work of doesn t correctly. You should check the Toshiba for WLAN driver update page:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

    In addition these WLAN issues may have different reasons. Also, a bad WLAN configuration would be possible. So, you should check the WLAN settings and configuration of the router. Also, an update of the firmware on the router could be useful.
