• Duplex with our laserjet HP4100 and Windows 7 network printing

  We have two new HP with Windows 7 desktop computers and you try to use the front and back of our network service HP laserjet 4100 dtn can you suggest the correct drivers or settings please?

  Hi, this might be the question why his does not work.

  It's a bug in Windows 7. The duplexor is reported as not installed by default, so you'll have to change that.

  Go to the Control Panel, find the devices and printers, then click on it. Then right click on your printer icon and choose 'printer properties '. In the new screen go to the "Device settings" tab and under "automatic duplex print unit" set installation options on installed. Should be on is not installed by default, so change installed, then click on apply. Restart the software and perhaps even your computer and check that duplex printing is an option now.

• I have a residential group put in place but apple of my wife air does not recognize and it cannot use the network printer

  How can I solve this problem?

  Only Windows 7 computers can join a homegroup.

  You need to set up a working group for non Windows machines using the network functions.

  And if you have a network printer suitable, then it should not matter what OS you have as long as it has drivers for this printer. I guess that you have a SHARED printer and not a network printer in your question?

• New Win 7 computer cannot access the IP address of the network printer. Help, please.

  Greetings,

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

  UPDATE: we have found the solution to this problem, we, and that I posted an explanation as well as two ways to solve the problem in my 2nd post on May 5, 2015. Scroll down to it for the solution. Unfortunately, Microsoft does not allow the OP to mark one of their own messages as 'the Answer' so this thread continues to be listed as "no answer" when he actually answered me.

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

  The original message follows...

  We cannot sign a new Win 7 (64-bit) computer to a printer ethernet established in our local network of 'working '. We have reached the limit of our troubleshooting skills and expertise assistance.

  Our Local network
  ------------------------
  The printer is a Dell 5100cn workgroup laser that is connected via an ethernet cable to a 10/100 workgroup switch 5-port Cisco/Linksys. The switch is connected to the built-in cable Motorola modem / 4 port gigabit router / WiFi access point. There is no server between the printer and the network.

  Other computers on the network run also Win 7 and have no trouble seeing and using the printer. Some computers are connected via a gigabit ethernet cable to the router Motorola. Other computers connect wireless WiFi (once again, by the same Motorola device). All computers, including the new ones, are attributed to the same workgroup.

  The printer has a static IP address. It also has an integrated Web page accessible within the network via a browser to view the status of the printer. All previous computers can view the status of the printer Web page by entering its IP address in a browser.

  The new Win 7 computer
  --------------------------------
  At the Windows command prompt, we successfully ping the IP address of the printer and received a return signal. However, we are unable to connect to the IP address of the printer (and status Web page) with a browser. And we cannot find the printer when install us the printer driver. We have tried to turn off the Windows Firewall and it did not help.

  When we install the driver, move us as a 'local' printer and create a new "Standard TCP/IP Port" for her. We enter the static IP address of the printer and name the port. Define us the Protocol to "LPR", enter the name of the queue ("lp") and activate SNMP State with name of the 'public' community and the index "1". These settings have worked very well with our previous computers.

  When the time comes to 'choose printer', we select 'have disk... '. ' and use the Dell 64-bit for this printer driver. But it does not work and do not print a test page. We even tried to install the printer as a 'network' printer driver, but it does not, either. In addition, the 'local' method always seemed to work best in the past.

  The new computer has no harm to see other computers and devices on the network. For example, there is a NAS connected to the same switch Cisco/Linksys like the printer and the computer can access the NAS via its static IP address. The new computer can also access the internet. He can't use the IP address of the printer. We even tried to change the address IP of the printer, but that did not help either.

  Despite the fact that the work - the network troubleshooter Windows command prompt ping indicates that the printer is not responding. What do we lack? Help, please.

  Greetings,

  I hope that this will be our last post on this subject. We have discovered the source of the problem and can offer two 'fixed' in case someone else runs into the same situation.

  With the help of MSConfig and a process of elimination, we have disabled non-Microsoft services that were running on the computer until we discovered that "Qualcomm Atheros Killer Service V2" was the source of the problem.

  Explanation

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

  Our new Win 7 computer contains a communication module ethernet/WiFi/Bluetooth e2200 Qualcomm Atheros. The manufacturer provides a '' Killer Network Manager '' for this system. Its purpose is to monitor and control the flow of data over a network connection in order to optimize for. For example, the user can choose to give the program A high priority and program-B low priority. This ensures that the program-A is less lag in the network traffic.

  The primary market for this function, so far, has been the online game (where the name of 'Killer'). It allows players to channel the bulk of the bandwidth available to their game and away from other programs and services that are running at the same time. A response faster online gives the player the advantage it needs to get "kill him" before someone else.

  This system of control of bandwidth has interfered with data packets of return of our network, clearing communication between our computer and our printer printer.

  Difficulty 1

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

  The simplest solution for us was to disable 'Qualcomm Atheros bandwidth control' for the ethernet NIC that has been accomplished by going to: Windows Control Panel > network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > change the settings of the card (in the sidebar). Then we clicked on our connection to the LAN (our NETWORK ethernet card) and select the 'Properties' command Finally, on the Networking tab, we have disabled 'Qualcomm Atheros control bandwidth' and clicked 'OK' button to close.

  All that was needed after that was a quick restart and we were able to access our printer even with the killer Network Manager and functioning of Qualcomm Atheros Killer Service V2.

  Either way, we left the control function of bandwidth enabled for wireless (our) network connection because we do not plan on using this network printer when the computer is untethered to ethernet.

  Difficulty 2

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

  If you don't want the killer running Network Manager on your computer, you may be tempted to uninstall. Do not! Uninstall will also uninstall the drivers needed for your ethernet, WiFi and possibly your Bluetooth as well. We heard that some users have communicated with Qualcomm and were able to coax, on their part, the necessary drivers comm without luggage "Killer". But you don't need to do it, either.

  All you need to do is: (1) remove the 'Killer Network Manager' of the '"start up" folder of the start menu of Windows (under "programs") and (2) using MSConfig, uncheck "Qualcomm Atheros Killer Service V2" under the ' Services ' section. Then reboot and you're good to go. The killer Network Manager and his service will not work.

  Moreover, the reason for which we did not chose this method, ourselves, is because we see one deserves that available Killer Network Manager so that we can block network traffic to select programs. Solution 1 converts this easy thing because the Ethernet bandwidth control can be quickly activated again if she is ever desired. And we're leaving it enabled for our WiFi.

• Canon i850 printer shared by Windows XP and Win7 does not print the entire page

  I've just updated my Vista laptop to Windows 7 as a place to upgrade. All migrated without problem except this shared printer. I downloaded the updated driver from MS download the catalog and the Win 7 Add the fron Canon pack I have installed in that order. The printer is connected to the desktop from Win XP to USB and is configured as a shared printer. Windows 7 sees the printer and also its status but print a test page prints only the windows of the flag in the upper left corner of the rest of the page is empty. Print directly to the printer under Win XP works perfectly. All ideas are welcome. Thank you.

  Well, I've had sorted it here's what I did:

  Removed all instances of canon i850 of devices and printers in Win 7.Rebooted, and then at the Run prompt run this command, "Printui/s/t2" without the quotes... Removed the i850 canon drivers and packages, then restarted again. Then I turned on the printer and plugged into a USB port on the computer to Win7... It installed the driver for me to Windows Update and a USB driver. I then added a printer shared in devices and printers selected local printer and set up the port as: \\xp computer name\share name\. I chose the same driver in the list that was created previously Setup USB canon i850... Restarted then installed the Canon Add / on module: aomwin110ea23us.exe. Restarted again... NOW, I CAN PRINT!

  Nice day.

• OfficeJet 6500 E710n-z: where to locate X 86 Drivers for Win 7 to print Via USB system connected to the network using Win 8.1

  Since my computer can only connect to a printer wireless via USB, other computers on the network cannot connect to the printer.  The possibility of allowing other printers using the main system of sharing, I need the x 86 driver but cannot locate it on the HP support.

  Seems there are a lot of problems installing with HP systems, I would hope that society can give a high priority to these issues.  Many of us love quality HP but wireless connectivity is frustrating.

  In a humorous way, please remove the "cannot find the printer - make sure that the printer is plugged in and turned on."  statement.  Our children know how to set up a network, so that the statement is hilarious, until you see for the 20th time as possible motive to the wireless printer is not found on the network.

  Hello
  My post seemed to have grown to a case manager who was willing to put up a time for the members of technical support to contact me.  By the way, she asked about the distance, the printer from the router, which, by other reviewers, should be placed next to the printer, and she asked for me to try to move the router to about 18 inches from the printer so that it would be responsible for coordinating the call of support following our conversation.

  I did it and all network issues related to wireless access by the entire Office has been resolved and performing network and each station can print and scan in a few minutes, following a job application.  Printing took about 20 minutes to start and sweep was impossible until this Council been offered.

  Many congratulations to Yvonne!  And, I thank you for following up on this post.  I am a very satisfied customer again once my application has been met with personal concern for the issue and an appropriate resolution and FANTASTIC found!

  Thank you once again,

• Win 7 network users cannot push the desktop files

  Hi - I have W7HPx64 on the table, and descendants both have Jason with W7HPx64.  Marcot on WLAN, the office is on ethernet.  I've set up a "home network", but establishing a "homegroup" appeared to leave me with a lot of side effects, so I went to the old-school working group I had on W2K Pro who never gave us difficulties.

  The problem is that after having shared folders on the desktop and on the Marcot, we can push/pull files to/from the Marcot, but the Manon can't push the files to the desktop.  They can specify good files.

  At the moment that I simply do not understand the configuration of permissions very complicated W7 inherited from XP.  I can not even find a 'group' for the hosts on the local network: to get any form of communication, everyone had to be set up as a 'user' so that we can log on to remote computers.  I'm also confused by a difference between 'share with... '. "in the context menu for folders and files (which is currently attached to"nobody"(I think) and properties > sharing.)

  Logon is not a problem.  Only by pushing the files on the desktop.  Please, can someone direct me to a place where W7 permissions/security/sharing is explained in words of one syllable or less?

  Gordon.

• OptiPlex 980 win 7 64 printer to network

  Years, I used a home network printer, attached to a robotic router we (entry USB), of any of my computers from home (XP, Win7 32, Win7 64). Never a problem.

  For two days, all of a sudden, my Dell Optiplex 980 desktop computer, running Windows 7 64 b, is unable to use the printer.

  I made each known attempt to solve and read all that I found Googling autour. Reinstall the printer, cancellation of any firewall and AntiVirus. I even changed the local USB printer, with a direct connection, and I printed without problems. Verified data from tcp port and the address of the router.

  Of course, other computers continue to regularly print to the printer when it is connected to the router. All IP network are fixed and the network works without problem with a lot of other elements (cams, iphone, AppleTV, ipod etc., AccessPoint - for the WiFi network part - and Extender)

  I made many other tests that I go here for the list, always without result. Officially the printer seems to be ok, but I am unable to get even a test page for this computer.

  For your information I did not any voluntary action or modification I could lay claim to the cause of this failure.

  I need to solve this problem, so pls no matter what kind of idea is very well accepted... same crazy!

  Thank you very much

• Unable to connect to a network printer, but can see and discover

  I'd appreciate any help with this: I have exhausted my Google searches for most of the day, and Microsoft support articles are of course a great help.

  The problem: I have a printer installation on one of the XP Home computers in our home network (all the XP Home computers). I am trying to connect to this printer from another computer, but I'm unable to add through the "Add printer" Wizard While I can see the printer in the list of printers on a network (including two other printers on other machines that work), when I try to connect to this particular printer in question, I am struck with a challenge to connect with what seems to be the guest account on the computer. There is no password for this account so I leave the password blank, and I then told me that I do not have sufficient permissions. I don't know what to do.

  A few pieces of my Google-ing info that may be useful:

  (1) I made sure that the guest account is enabled and even perform the active command of the net user on the computer in question.
  (2) I use Windows Firewall and I said to turn on the printer and file sharing and have exceptions for such.
  (3) I use Microsoft Security Essentials.

  (4) given that it is XP Home of course I can't access everything related to security or other policy.

  In addition, whenever I try to access this computer on the Working Group, it says I have "insufficient permissions". I don't know what it means that I've never been specified no restrictions when I ran the Network Setup Wizard.

  Windows networking works better if you have matching user accounts password on each machine rather than try to rely on the guest account (which is a security hole).

  See the following tips from the old MS MVP Malke.  He's old, but it's always good.  Not everything can be applied to your situation; Take the parts that do.

  The best and simplest is to buy a wireless router. This way you get Internet connectivity both machines and the added benefit of security more between you and the Internet. Then you configure your network wireless safely, and then you configure file/printer sharing. Here is information on the implementation of a router and also in networking. It seems long, but don't be intimidated. Setting up a router and the LAN of sharing between two computers takes about 15 minutes.

  The router configuration

  Setting up a router is simple enough. Normally, you run the CD that came with the router and follow the instructions. If you're running Vista, maybe the CD that came with the router does not work; I do not know this. But you can set up the router without the CD. Note that if you have Internet cable for the connection you have just set up the router to DHCP (or there may even be a choice of cable to choose). If you have DSL Internet, you select TRP usually and enter the username and password you selected when you initially set the DSL connection. So:

  1. turn off the power to your cable modem.

  2. attach a cable (usually supplied with the router) course Ethernet cat5e Internet/WAN port of the router to the Ethernet port on the cable modem.

  3. connect the ethernet cable cat5e from the network card in your computer to one of the ports on the router. If you do not have an ethernet cable (because you were using USB), you will need to go to the store and buy a.

  4. turn on the cable modem. After that all the lights are on, turn on the router.

  To configure the router:

   

  Have a computer connected to the router with an ethernet cable. Examples given are for a Linksys router. See the manual of your router or the router mftr's Web site. for the parameters by default if you don't have a Linksys. Open a browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox and in the address bar type:

  http://192.168.1.1 [Enter] (it is default IP address of the router, which varies from router to router then check your manual)

  This will bring you to the login screen of the router. The default username is blank and the Linksys default password is "admin" without the quotes. Enter this information. You are now in the configuration of the router utility. Your configuration utility may be slightly different from mine.

  Click the Administration link at the top of the page. Enter your new password. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE. Re-enter the password to confirm it, and then click Save settings at the bottom of the page. The router will reboot and show you the box of connection again. Do not fill in the user name and put it in your new password to enter the configuration utility.

  Now, click on the link wireless at the top of the page. Change the network name (SSID) wireless by default to something, you'll recognize. I suggest that my clients not use their surname as the SSID. For example, you might want to name your network wireless network "CastleAnthrax" or similar.

  Click on save settings and when you get the prompt that your changes were successful, click the wireless security link which is just beside the Basic Wireless Settings link (where you changed your SSID). If you have a newish computer, you will be able to affect security WPA2-Personal Mode. Do this and enter a password. The password is what you enter on all computers that are allowed to connect to the wireless network. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE.

  At this point, your router is set up and if the computer that you use to configure the router will normally connect wireless, disconnect the Ethernet cable and wireless of the computer should see your new network. Enter the password you created to join the network and start surfing.

  B. file/printer sharing of

  Excellent, comprehensive, but easy to understand article on sharing files/printer under Vista. Contains information about sharing printers and files, and the folders:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx

  For XP, start by running the Network Setup Wizard the on all machines (see warning in section A below).

  Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused by 1) a misconfigured firewall or a firewall neglected (including a dynamic firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently run two firewalls such as the firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall. and/or (3) do not have accounts to the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup. (4) tries to create actions where the operating system does not.

  A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, it means which allows file sharing / print on the Exceptions tab normally run the XP Network Setup Wizard will take care of this for these machines. The only "witch hunt", it will turn on the XPSP2 Windows Firewall. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus with "Internet Worm Protection" (like Norton 2006/07) which acts as a firewall, you're fine.  With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN with an IP address range. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Obviously you would substitute your correct subnet. Do not run more than one firewall. DON'T STOP FIREWALLS; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

  (B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This is done from the System applet in Control Panel, the computer name tab.

  C. create the counterpart of the user accounts and passwords on all machines. You do not need to be logged into the same account on all machines and assigned to each user account passwords can be different; accounts/passwords just need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to boot directly to the desktop (a particular user account) for convenience, you can do this. The instructions on this link work for XP and Vista:

  Set up Windows to automatically connect (MVP Ramesh) - http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Autologon.htm

  D. Si one or more of the computers is XP Pro or Media Center, turn off Simple file sharing (Folder Options > view tab).

  E. create share as you wish. XP Home does not share the users directory or the Program Files, but you can share folders inside those directories. A better choice is to simply use the Shared Documents folder. See the first link above for more information on Vista sharing.

  F. you have the job of file sharing (and tested by exchanging a file between machines), if you want to share a printer connected locally to one of your computers, share of this machine. Then go to the printer mftr Web site. and download the latest drivers for the correct system. Install them on the target machines. The printer must be collected during the installation procedure. If this isn't the case, install the drivers and then use the Add Printer Wizard. In some cases, printers must be installed as local printers, but it is outside this response.

• network printing from the desktop in Windows Vista and Windows 7 laptop

  Original title: network printing

  I have Vista Home running on a desktop computer with a printer. I have a laptop with W 7 (64-bit) and to print on a desktop printer.  I have configured the settings to allow the sharing of files on the vista machine and now in this network sharing Center it is written after the sharing printers and public folder sharing (password required).  Which passwords they are referring to and how do I enter them?

  I decided to bite the bullet and updated desktop for Windows 7.  Now, portable and office are on the same operating system.  Then I used the home network.  The network was a snap to set up and works perfectly.

• Network Vista and XP - connection to the network printer problem

  I try to print to a network printer connected to a vista from a computer xp machine

  Two computers on a network
  Vista machine is connected through the ethernet card and has a connected printer
  XP machine is via wireless network

  Both machines have the same network name "mshome".
  Open ports on the firewall and also left Software Firewall

  When I print a job, I see it be wound on the info from the printer on both machines, but then, it is automatically deleted.

  I am able to access the hard disks from two computers

  The printer works this way, when you share a printer between XP and Vista where the printer is connected to Vista, XP will communicate with the printer and its drivers Vista.

  So as I suspected it was due from pilots, in your case XP will be offered 64 bit readers which it does not recognize

  If we rely on the printer connected to the Vista 64-bit operating system operating system 32-bit, we need to install the additional drivers (especially the XP must be with 32 bits, only 32 bits of the operating system will not show if it's 32-bit or 64-bit)

  So in this case, you must right click on the printer on Vista and go to the sharing tab, and then click additional drivers, it will be the operating system and Version to select and you will need to select Windows XP x 86 and install the drivers

  Now your Vista will be the 32-bit and 64-bit drivers installed. Now, when you share the printer, when the Contacts XP Vista, Vista has drivers and it will be able to share the printer correctly. Anish

• Network printer is recognized but does not command shared print

  Just installed update of XP on the computer desktop and Vista on the laptop.  Everything goes well on XP computer but the printer that is installed and set apart as before, will not print from the laptop.  This is a Photosmart HP 7160 and on my list of printers.  It shows that a doc is sent to the printer, but it will not and does not show in the queue.

  None of the "fixes" listed here or on the work of HP.

  Hi Marilynandav,

  Follow the steps below and check if that helps you.

  1. can you access files in the computer that is running Windows XP from the computer that is running Windows Vista? You must configure the first print settings.

  File and Printer Sharing in Windows Vista

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx#EFAA

  2. to connect to a shared printer on Windows Vista.

  1) click the Start button, and then in the search box, type \ followed by the name of the computer with the shared printer you want to use (for example, \\mylaptop).

  (2) press on enter.

  (3) If Windows can find the computer on the network, a folder is opened for the computer. Double-click Printers. If none of the shared printers connected to this computer, they will appear here. If you do not see the shared printer you want to use, ask a person who uses this computer if the printer is connected, turned on, and shared with other users on the network.

  4) double-click the printer. Windows will automatically add the printer to your computer and install the printer driver. When the process is complete, click Next.

  (5) the printer should appear in your printers folder. You can select this printer when you want to print a document or another file type.

  Note: If Windows can automatically find and install the printer driver that allows this shared printer to work with your computer, you must install the driver before you will be able to print.

  (1) download the Windows Vista compatible driver from the HP website and check:

  (2) remove the existing printer driver and reinstall it.

  Remove the printer

  ==============

  (a) click on the "Start" button, type PRINTERS in the start search box and press ENTER.

• Recommendations material and tips for network client 100

  Hello

  We are currently looking at creating a wireless network separated very basic for a client in two adjacent large cabins (3 m of distance) that can support up to 100 clients max simultaneously. It will only be for entrepreneurs to access basic internet, web mail, etc. connections. There is no existing infrastructure to connect to, so let's look at an internet connection for a form, a small switch and the wireless network. Range isn't a problem because they are next to each other it's support for such an amount of connections. I thought that a cluster of 2-4 WAP321 configuration might be a little tense and we could get questions like the number of simultaneous connections gets nearly 100. I also watched a couple of standalone Aironet 1600 s, one in each cabin.

  The network itself is very basic, because it is literally just shared internet access but I need to make sure it is reliable with 100 connected clients.

  I rang pre-sales tech, but they were not mcuh help and sounded like they knew less than I, so any help would be appreciated.

  Concerning

  Harry

  Dear Harry,

  Thank you to the small community of Support Business.

  By checking on the WAP321 data sheet, I see:

  -Recommended user support-up to 32 users connective, 20 active users

  -Active clients by cluster = 80

  I agree with you when you say "could be a little tense and we could get questions like the number of simultaneous connections gets nearly 100", that's why I suggest you go for a business, a range like the Aironet1600 input device you mention.  In any case I would contact you the pre-sales team or support thread-mobility advice and a community helps further.

  Thank you for your time on this matter and please let me know if there is something I can help you with in the meantime.

  Kind regards
