  You can print from another PC to a shared printer, you will not be able to analyze such, to analyze the use of the computer connected directly to your printer via a USB port.

• Problem to a file/printer sharing network.

  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.

  Please help I have searched a lot but I couldn't find anything useful.

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

  The following looks like a long history (it's only 600 words). I know not what is knowledge of the user, and exactly what has been done already. The info go through the motions of the configuration and verify most of the common aspects of the LAN Windows OS features '.

  ----------------------

  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.

  For the best newspaper of the results of each computer screen system and together all computers on a network of the same name, while each computer has its own unique name.

  Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

  Please Note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic.

  If you end up with the 3rd party software uninstalled or disabled, make sure that Windows native firewall is active .

• Domain network cannot activate file sharing and print?

  Hi all

  I get an error message when you try to share a folder "an error has occurred. trying to share folderxxx Incorrect function ". After research I see that file and printer sharing is not enabled.

  I went to control panel | Network and sharing Center. Advanced settings - sharing on the "Discovery of the network" and "File and printer sharing" I select "turn on...» "for one or the other and save changes - but neither is saved! Ebb in advanced sharing settings both return to "Turn off"... "State. (I am local and domain admin).

  Windows 7 computer is joined to a domain and the firewall settings are defined mainly through Group Policy, although local settings are allowed (merged).

  I would add that I can access the admin shares (c$, d$) on the computer without problem on the network so advanced in this regard firewall settings are ok.

  At a loss as to why file and printer sharing will not allow?  Thank you.

  I found what was wrong or the problem.

  During the process of deployment of our new systems Windows 7 wipe us the rules of default outgoing firewall who do seem to not be a problem because outbound connections have been set by default to "allow". But we have learned that only when outbound rules for file sharing and printer available (enabled or not) can share news can be created.

  After the creation of the joint ownership, these outbound rules can be removed and sharing still works fine to keep rules to incoming traffic.  I guess this is normal, but it is not quite make sense to me why the outbound rules are explicitly required for files and printers share when you create a share... but that is what has worked for us.

• Performance of newly shared printer on home network!

  As I shared my computer printer with my husband papers began to jam and the printer prints incorrectly or not at all.

  I checked the 'Status' of the quue and Control Panel printer. All fittings are perfect and port 'USB '.

  My Lexmark 215 printer talking about 4 or 5 years. I rarely use it.

  Also, I got for 3 or 4 days attached to my 'Flash Drive' on my USB Port. This action has something to do with my performance of the printer?

  Please advise?

  Thank you. my e-mail address is: .

  You can remove your email address to avoid getting spammed.  You will receive no answer by e-mail of the contributors to this forum (although you will receive notifications by email of responses without the need to include your e-mail address in the question).

  Sharing a printer or by using the same USB port for something else has no effect on the behavior of the printer.

  Will minimize paper in the printer (interference) is usually caused by the use of incorrect, wrinkled or folded paper paper or otherwise completely erase a previous jam.  See your user's Guide (assuming you have an all-in-one Lexmark X 215, your user's Guide is here--> http://www.lexmark.com/publications/pdfs/x215/eng/ug.pdf and the relevant section begins on p. 69).

  Maybe if you rarely use the printer, it is used more now that you shared with your husband and so to see only a problem now.  I saw at least a site that considered the Lexmark X 215 and noted that "many users have reported problems with paper and other malfunctions jams."

• problem with printing on wireless network

  Hello. I have a HP psc 2410 all-in-one printer.

  I recently bought a modem router that has a function called "print server" and I decided to use this feature and print via wifi. I put it to the top, but with a problem. When I print something, for example, test page, instead of printing a page, it will print 'test page' on 3 pages (something like partial pages and the last = third page is printed without understanding) and then it freezes (the printer display says 'printing' and I have to cancel the job, otherwise it crashes and I have to reconnect it). I have this problem, not only in the test page but at least IE, office, PDF files. This concerns mainly the Wifi, since if I connect the printer directly to the PC or laptop via usb, it works quite well. also I tried printing with different laptops with wifi but no go. Here is more information that I have forget:

  (1) router is WPA - PSK encryption type.

  (2) there is no mac filtering or hide SSID passes.

  (3) a laptop and an iPad is connected to the router via wifi and a PC which is connected by a LAN cable.

  (4) the IP address of the printer, this is the same as the IP for the router settings page. (192.168.0.1)

  (5) I can't open the printer's internal web page by entering the IP address of the printer in the browser, since it is the same as the IP address of the router.

  (6) firewall on my computer (windows 7 32-bit) laptop is turned off and I don't use any anti-virus.

  (7) I tried PHYSICIAN analysis AND HP Print, but he says that the printer is OK.

  Thank you

  Leland

  EDIT: after studying for hours, I finally managed to get rid of the problem of gel. now, there is just one problem of this partial impression that happens by chance on wifi! I mean, it happens sometimes and sometimes not.

  any suggestions? I would really appreciate it

  The background is that this printer has no way to connect more than a straight USB connection.   In order to make wireless you have a device that will give him a network IP address.  The printer itself is unable to do this.

  The only way to get this printer on a network is to buy a SEPARATE USB print server.   Or, buy a router separate, as I said, that has a USB connection on the back which will have supported printers.

  You can not connect as you wish as it stands right now.

  However, call your ISP and have them set up IF their gateway device has a USB connection and really can support a printer.  That's their problem.

• Printing problems on a M1120n MFP printer via the network

  Hello

  I bought a printer HP M1120n MFP, a couple of months.  I made sure that there the firmware up-to-date and that you have downloaded the latest drivers from hp.com.

  I can print and scan very well from the PC which is connected to the printer via a USB cable.  However, I can not usually print on the network of the other PC.  On the PC, I can ping the printer and I can also see the printer status page if I enter the IP address in a web browser on the PC.  So, I'm sure that there are no network connectivity problems.

  However, when I print to the printer on the network of these PCs, jobs just to stay in the queue for the printer.  Sometimes they print - but I don't see any model when they print.

  I would appreciate any suggestion on what to do, because I have to return this printer unless I can solve the problem?

  Thank you

  Thanks HP for quality and urged him to respond.  This has really increased my opinion about your company and the excellent support it brings.

• 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.

  original title: using network printer

  Everyone,

  That's what I had to do to get my printer working once Vista it has messed up. You do the first two steps on the computer to which the printer is connected. The last step that you do for your laptop or you want to connect the printer to the main computer. I hope this helps.

  Hey all,.

  We had this same problem...

  We had to follow the procedure proposed by Drompa...

  > 1) share permissions
  >> 1. In explorer, select C:\windows\system32\spool\PRINTERS
  >> 2. Make a right click, properties
  >> 3. Tab sharing
  >> 4. Advanced sharing
  >> 5. Check "share this folder".
  >> 6. Permissions
  >> 7. Grant everyone full control
  >>
  (> NTFS permissions 2)
  >> 1. In explorer, select C:\windows\system32\spool\printers
  >> 2. Make a right click, properties
  >> 3. Security tab
  >> 4. Edit
  >> 5. Add
  >> 6. Advanced
  >> 7. Find now
  >> 8. Select 'NETWORK '.
  >> 9. Ok
  > 10. Total control of the NETWORK grant

  AND THEN we had to install local printers, using the port trick...

  1. go to 'printers '.
  2. click on "add a printer".
  3 Add a local printer.
  4. "create a new Port.
  5. use the "Local Port" option
  6. on "Enter a Port name" enter: "\\Computername\Printername".

  And if all goes well should do!

  Good luck!

• The setting of file sharing and printer in my LAN adapter is being turned off when I reboot. Why? What could be responsible for this?

  I put the file and printer for Microsoft Networks share on IT in my LAN adapter properties. When I reboot it has itself turned off.

  My PC running Windows 7 64 bit.
  With leader & Printer Sharing, I am able to access the files on another PC 32 bit Windows 7 and the PC can access mine. After a reboot of my PC is possible - file & print sharing has set itself off the power in the properties of the adapter on my PC (the other PC is still OK).

  In Control Panel / advanced sharing settings I also file and the specified printer sharing option - and which remains lit on a restart. But it seems that it is not enough to allow these two PC to see each other.

  When I turn on sharing in the properties of the adapter to the printer & file, the two computers can then see each other (restart is not required).

  On the other PC, file & printer sharing survives through a reboot without reinitialization.

  I removed the two PCs of our homegroup yesterday evening to try to identify where the rub.
  My PC is to use the standard Windows Firewall current t.

  It is an aspect of various strange problems, I was 'enjoying' with Windows 7.  Following suggestions of the other forums, I turned off of packages jiumbo and created a connectionid identical on both systems. The Intel web site confirms that I have the Intel network adapter driver.

  It's very strange. Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.

  I think that I found the cause of the problem.
  It is a Lenovo Thinkpad and it comes with 'Logins', software to help manage network connections.
  Buried deep in the settings is a security option disable file and printer sharing.  I disabled that and will test by restarting later.

• Computer not finding printer on the network

  I have an OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus with a wireless connection to my home network, E2000 Cisco router. I have install the printer using the software that comes with it. Everything worked fine for several months, but recently, I found that my network computers are randomly impossible to locate the printer on the network. I am also unable randomly ePrint. I noticed that if I power cycle the router, the computer will then find the printer. Now, I am regularly power cycling the router. Should not have these problems, I don't know even where to start asking questions. I'm not having other problems with the router. I connect to the internet OK, see the other computers on the network OK, just could not find the printer. There are usually 3 different computers that are enabled and disabled the network throughout the day (sometimes using the printer, sometimes not).

  What are some of the common issues that could cause this problem? Any suggestions to make the connection to the most reliable printer?

  Hi there, your PC into hibernation should not make a difference but some common router settings to watch out include:

  •Wireless isolation is enabled (won't let not peripheral connected wireless to talk with each other)

• OfficeJet 5740: Install a printer on a network of schools wireless

  Hello

  I started school this past week and I brought an Officejet 5740 to implement in my dorm, but I had trouble getting it set up. MY laptop is on the network "(University)", but I was tasked to set up the printer on a network called "Device-(University)" and would continue to operate. I have registered my printer on the network "Device-(University)" also using its MAC address, which I was told was also necessary. After all that, I'm still not able to print wireless. I tried to restart the printer, reset the network settings and remove all software printer on my computer and starting from scratch, but nothing has worked.

  If someone has encountered this problem, and if so, is anyone know a solution?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  You can also connect to the printer using the WiFi Direct connection.

  This type of connection (Wifi Direct) connects your camera/laptop Wifi directly on your printer and requires no Wifi router and is the best way that I would use as LONG as I didn't need to keep connecting to the Wifi network router for surfing.

  Also remember to reconnect to your network of WIFI router to get internet connection after printing.

  The password to connect to your Wifi Direct printer is in the display on the front panel of the printer, or you must print it with the WIFi button for 3 sec.

  I hope this helps.
