• Canon printer MX410 constantly goes offline on Windows 8

  Hello

  My Lenova Ideapad Z580 constantly 'loses' the shared wireless printer.  The only solution I have is to uninstall the driver, and then reinstall the driver to 'find' it on the network again.  Any reboots causes this to happen, but is found also at random times when the laptop has not been turned off.  We even reset the printer and then re-installed on the network in the event that something had changed there.  None of the other laptops in our House (using various platforms) has this problem, so I have to assume that there is an error in Windows 8.
  I've had this laptop in April 2013, but this problem did not begin until July 2013, I think that an update may be the culprit.
  Is this a known problem and is there a fix permanent, that I can use?  Thanks in advance for any help.

• Locally connected printer show offline on Windows 7 network after working initially

  OK, have you checked similar discussions which has no successful response.

  I have a PC with Epson printer connect directly via USB. Printer driver installed correctly.  Works very well.

  Windows 7 Ultimate (32 bit) no warranty other than windows firewall and microsoft security essential.

  Laptop connected wireless to PC.  On the same network and homegroup, file and media sharing, all works well.

  Laptop running Windows 7 Ultimate (32 bit) even PC security.

  When I add a network printer, find the printer on the PC and properly installs driver etc.  Printer appears in the devices and allows to print the first two times.

  However, the next day the network printer is 'offline' in the spooler to print on the laptop.  The documents simply stack up.

  The PC doesn't go to sleep and is left on all the time except for the screen is turned off.  Printer works fine on PC, indeed with the docs stuck on the laptop I can always print directly from the PC - even if it does not appear the printer to be online on the laptop.

  Having checked that the spooler printer on the laptop is running and set to automatic.

  Epson impossible / wants to help - have found a similar thread with no response - everyone all guess what to try?

  Thank you very much

  I had a similar problem and for me, the problem is with the EPSON driver.

  My printer is connected wireless to my network, I got the IP address and could he ping but WIN 7 it showed off line.

  Then, I went and took a look at the printer driver (chosen to start, devices and printer, the epson printer then under management of the printer, printer to customize, ports then configure port)

  And I noticed that for the Standard TCP/IP Port it was pointing to a different IP address than the one that my printer was currently. I edited it to match what the printer was and he came online.

  When you turn off the printer, its IP address back in your pool of routers to be reallocated.

  The windows driver Epson still has the old IP. You turn on your printer and your router can give it an IP address that is different from last time. Now, it doesn't match with what the stored before Epson driver and you says it's offline.

  For me, rather than change the IP address in the driver whenever it happened that I assigned an IP (fixed host) in my router based on my printers MAC address. In this way he always give my printer every time the same address and is no longer false messages offline appears under Windows.

  It is a driver problem Epson, not a windows problem.

  Hi pixystixy99,

  Try to access the printer from devices and printers properties. When you open the printer on the Office Assistant, it opens printing options, which does not change the driver.

• How is it that some machines running windows vista, when the router is updated or changed, they show "limited or local only" when you reconnect then wireless.

  problems with wireless Vista "local only".

  How is it that some machines running windows vista, when the router is updated or changed, they show "limited or local only" when you then reconnect wireless... nothing else was changed on those computers and other devices can connect ok?

  Hello

  Each router is assigned to the specific address (called IP address or IP address). And each router maintains its own database (called as base of router) to follow the networking devices communicate with him. When the router is changed, the particular router is unable to detect the device, especially the network card to communicate with the computer.  Since he does not have details of the database of network devices, communicate with him.

  It allows only wants to "connect" using dial-up, wireless or wired ISP (type PPP) requiring a UID and password, of which none seem to allow me to select a LAN (ISP) simple (without a password).

  I know that the Ethernet connection works Ok, because I can use it with a standard Web browser; only the mail tool can't seem to see or use.

  Whenever I tell the Windows Mail email 'Send and receive', he wants to 'connect' for remote access or one of his three choices (listed above and direct exclusion of any connection to the local network).  It works with remote access, so once I have spend that I should be Ok. but I can't make it work directly.

  Help.

  In Windows Mail, go to select Tools, accounts, your account email, properties, connection.  It shows for the connection?  You
  should leave this setting not selected, in which case Windows Mail will use the IE connection uses.
   
  In addition, under Tools, Options, connection, the first checkbox must be checked, and the second box unchecked.
   
  If everything which withdraws, but you still have the problem, the account may be damaged.  Remove account, restart Windows Mail,.
  then recreate the account.

• Unable to connect to a printer Brother MFC - 240 c to Windows 7 computer network

  The computer of my network which is connected directly to the internet and my router is a computer running Windows Vista (32 bit). My computer is connected through the network to access the internet and the printer connected to the computer base. My computer was also under Vista and networking has worked well.

  I installed Windows 7 (64-bit, not by choice, done automatically) on my computer and now I can't connect to the printer on the Vista machine. I can access the internet (even if it is significantly slower than when I had vista) and on basic computer file sharing, but I can not configure the printer. The printer is a Brother MFC - 240 c
  If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  I'm assuming you get an error indicating that the print driver for 64-bit is not installed in the Vista machine.  You can either install a 64-bit driver that has the same name as the x 86 driver on the Win7 machine printing and reattempt the connection, install the 64-bit driver that has the same name on the Vista computer (for other 64-bit machines), but it's more difficult.

  Alternatively, you can set the machine to check Windows Update for a printer driver that has the same name as the 32-bit print driver.  If gpedit.mcs run for the version of Windows you have.
  Computer configuration
  Administrive models
  Printers
  Extend the point and print for windows update research connection

  If there is no matching driver name, you cannot make a RPC connection, but you can create an SMB connection.  Search for Local Port.  There are many posts on this.

• Windows 7 can not find .inf driver for Canon Pixma iP4000 printer connected to Windows XP.

  I have a laptop running Windows 7 (64-bit machine) I want to print from.  The laptop is on a home network wireless.  The office is wireless as well and is running Windows XP.  The Office has a Canon Pixma iP4000 printer connected with a parallel cable.  I installed the latest XP drivers for the printer on the desktop.  The laptop can connect directly to the printer with a USB cable and drivers will download automatically and it will print correctly.  However, I can't connect the printer using the wireless system.  I can go on the laptop to the home network and navigate to the printer and try to install.  It makes an automatic search and says that it cannot find the correct drivers.  I can browse to the file to install on my desktop, but it of an .exe file and not. INF.  I run the .exe file and it installs too, but Setup of printer on the laptop won't let me not by the .inf screen add to complete the installation of a wireless printer.

  Any suggestions?

  Very probably the XP driver name is different from the name of 64-bit driver.  Create a Local Port which copies the data to the print size in Windows 7.

  Here is an article knowledge base how to the names of the incompatible drivers.  Replace the Windows 7 machine for NT4 machine referenced in the article.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/282842

  If you load the printer driver 32-bit on your 64-bit computer, you need the 32-bit driver for Windows 7.  You can do if you have a 32-bit computer of Windows 7 on the network to push pilots up to the machine that is sharing the printer.  None are flat files on the Windows 7 DVD, you need to install the OS or mount the ISO.

  The key to successful sharing between computers that run different printing architecture processors is pilot name.  PCL6 equal NOT PCL 6.

• Integrated microphone does not and shows to connect Windows Vista

  My microphone does not work, even not show as connected in (microphone) Windows vista

  Hi my microphone has problems. It works sometimes, but usually it does not. I don't know why it is, but maybe someone here can help you. It is really connected and activated, but it does not usually record as being connected. Does it only occasionally. I don't know if something is different when the microphone is, can't remember. I downloaded the latest drivers and have updated their but that did not help. I still have the same problem. Also, it seems that all audio services are running. So if anyone knows the solution I would be grateful.

  If you microphone/Line In set is activated and levels turned up, this is how its window should look like. Note the bar showing the Green microphone resumes his.
