    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

    >> 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!

  • 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)

  • HP 2520HC: install the software of the printer over the network

    Hello

    I use the HP 2520HC series at the office. I use a network connection.

    Printing works fine, however I want to be able to scan as well. I downloaded the printing software, but the only option I choose, connect via USB? The printer is connected to another PC, so this isn't an option.

    Please help me.

    Hello

    such a USB printer allow only all features on a directly connected USB computer.

    Sharing a printer over the network allows sharing of a printer, Windows don't offer any scanner, the sharing feature.

    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.

    Kind regards

  • Computer cannot find the printer on the network

    I have a Photosmart D110A and use a router Airport Extreme to print from my PC and iPad.  Until a few days ago, it worked fine but now neither my iPad or PC can find the printer on the network.  When I run the test report of network on the printer, it shows that everything is fine and dandy.  No the guided HP solutions even to get close to solving this riddle... it seems that any questions they discuss involve the printer will not connect to the network.

    OK, so they are both on the network of comments.  Comments network does not allow for communication between devices.

    Open Airport utility, select your airport and click installation manual.  Access to the Internet zone, then DHCP.  What are the two structures IP DHCP for your two airport networks (invited and regular).

    For example, mine is 10.0.1.X for the ordinary and 17.16.42.X for my network of comments.

  • LaserJet P2055DN - do not print over the network

    Configure the printer last night as a network printer (which replaces a former 2300dn LJ). It would not print a test page. To verify that the printer was good, I have loaded the drivers on my laptop and connected via usb.  Was able to print a page of test via USB.  Disconnected usb and reconnected power cable. Released and reset the ip address.  Verified the ip address in scathing of the host.   When I ping the printer I usually lose half of the packages.  There are two other HP printers on the network, a P2015dn and a color 2605dn LJ. Ping their IP back to 100% with a ttl = 255. Ping the p2055 produced 4 packets sent, 2 packets received, 2 lost packets, ttl = 64 2 returns.  I changed the printer cables and exchanged the network switch ports (verified the network switch ports by printing to the LJ 2605) with the same result. I can't get the internal web server to mount, or it partially displays or combinations of these.  If this was the old style removable print server as in my lj2300, I could swap out, but it's not like I can do with this model.  When I send a test page to the printer, it displays "printing", the green light on top flashes, the activity on the network card light flashes, but nothing happens. Finally, I get a «this document failed to print "notification on the host, but the printer still says 'printing' and the lights are still flashing.»  Anyone have any ideas?  I think I'm looking at a bad network/print the server maps in the P2055.

    I also had problems printing over the network to the hp p2055dn. There was no problem via USB printing. All the network settings were ok. Can ping, etc...

    Number of days of bickering, finally found that the Config.Security Network should be reset on the physical control of the printer Panel.

    Press Ok on the Control Panel printer--> press down arrow, you get to Setup Menu Network Config--> press Ok--> a number of arrows down you get to Config network. Security--> press Ok--> you have two options - keep or reset--> choose Reset... Network printing should work fine.

  • LaserJet 4050N: cannot connect the printer to the network.

    Hi all

    I recently moved my house, where a new router. My HP LaserJet 4050N was previously connected to my router to another and worked well on the network. However, in my new House and my router (ethernet port connected to the printer) I can't find the printer on the network. I tried to change the IP address, but still when I try to ping, I get the timeout error.

    Help, please.

    Hi Calstar,

    I suggest you uninstall the printer and then reinstall it with the new IP assigned to the printer. Let me know what you find?

  • OJ 8500 A910 Pro - iPhone does not see the printer on the network?

    I have my HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 A910 connected to my wireless network.  The printer found the network and now has an IP address.  My iPhone is also connected to the wireless network.  I can see both devices on the router.

    When I walked into photos and try to print a photo, he says to choose a printer.  When I click on choose, I get "No Printers Found.

    Any thoughts?

    Hey k9rescue!

    Sorry to hear that you are having a problem with AirPrint. What iOS version are you running? And what iPhone model do you have?

    Additionally, if you are unsure that your device supports AirPrint, try to turn your bluetooth off and see if the printer appears.

    Let me know if it helps!

  • L7780 HP 'add a device' can not detect the printer on the network

    I have a HP OfficeJet Pro L7780 printer and a laptop running Windows 7 Hp. The HP Solution Center has stopped working recently and now gives a message error "HP Solution Center cannot work because your installation of the device is not complete."

    I've uninstalled and reinstalled the software "OJProL7X00_Full_14.exe" and when I go to 'Add a device' it cannot find my printer on the network, even when I enter the IP address.

    I ran "OJ6500vE709_Scrubber_14.exe" - bird 1-2-3-4 and it did make a difference.

    The printer is connected to the network and I can add it as a printer in the window "Devices and printers" window so I can print to it, but without the HP Solution Center software, I can't scan.

    So Windows can detect the printer on the network and when I add the printer in this way, all 4 computers connected to our network can print to it fine.

    HP Print & Scan Doctor detec the printer on the network can. When I run that it is said that the comprehensive software solution for your product is not installed on this computer and when I click on the button 'Install Software', need me just the OJProL7X00_Full_14.exe file. The software seems to install fine but I can't add a device.

    HP printer install wizard for Windows can detec the printer on the network. When I run that it is said that the current full HP software is already installed and drivers seem to be installed correctly. A test page will print perfectly.

    But "Add device HP A" not somehow the printer detec.

    Please notify.

    Hello Impact,

    I see that you spent a lot of time trying to solve the problem of the HP Solution Center not allowing you to scan. Uninstall and install it, rub the software and execution of printing and scanning Dr. / Printer Wizard are all the steps I would have suggested do you.

    I would like you to follow the steps described in this document from HP: the progress bar on the Software Installation stops or stalls, many steps in it you all ready done but please follow the document from top to bottom.

    Before you start to trouble shoot the issue still provides also the computer is not connected to a VPN (Virtual Private Network) and you can access the printers on-Board Web server by entering the printers IP address in Internet Explorer.

    Let me know how this document from HP has helped.

    Thank you

  • Install HP Officejet 6500 E709n failure - can't see the printer on the network

    My HP Officejet 6500 E709n refuses to acknowledge that he is already on the network a specific IP address and used by other computers in my house. How can I get this software install to work?  I have to let Windows 7 install its own version, which worked (sort of).  I prefer having the center of solutions for scanning, but the HP install software (full version), in contrast to the MS Windows 7 software, can't find the printer on the network, even when I give the software the exact IP address.

  • 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

    Bogman

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