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.

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.

    @Lancer3

    Welcome to the HP Forums, it's a great place to get help, find answers and advice,
    Thanks for posting your request, I'll be more than happy to help you

    If I understand correctly the printer to scan does not work after the recent update of the Sierra,

    Don't worry, even if the following document does not mention Sierra, the Apple article will guide you through the steps to scan through

    • Image capture
    • Overview
    • Printers and Fax preferences in system preferences
    • Scanner / printer queue

    The basics of the Mac: using a scanner

    I also suggest to use the Apple Scan while you wait for the HP software update. You can use the link below to confirm that your printer is still compatible with your operating system: software of the printer and scanner for macOS Sierra, El Capitan, Yosemite, and the Mavericks.

    For links related, please here.

  • Unable to connect to the printer via IP address

    I changed my ISP (internet service provider) and therefore changed routers - now unable to connect to the printer.
    I put a static IP address on my HP Photosmart B110a printer before we changed to ISP because there are connection problems. When we were setup to the ISP again, we are unable to connect to the printer, such as the printers IP 192.168.1.12
    The new network ISP IP range is 192.168.0.xx and printers address IP is out of the network.
    I can print via the USB cable but I can't return to my printers GUI by entering 192.168.1.12 return the printer back from the static IP address.
    A hard reset for this printer would be appreciated.
    Thank you very much.

    Hello
    I solved the problem. The answer was staring face heres so my solution for someone who has had similar problems.
    I didn't dig up the old router that affects the 192.168.1.xx IP network and then connected my PC, connected my printer then connected printers user interface through the static IP address, I assigned earlier. Changed to automatic IP. Connected my new router (which assigns the IP addresses of 192.168.0.xx) to my PC and printer. Everything is now OK.
    Thank you.

    How do you know if you have Windows 32 or 64-bit

    Start > right click on computer

    Select Properties

    Under system, you will see listed Windows 32-bit or 64-bit

    32-bit applications can run on 64-bit systems, but not vice versa

    When you run older applications, you should consider the installation of XP Mode with Virtual PC for Windows 7 (free)

    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Virtual-PC/Download.aspx

    It's as easy as 1-2-3

    Update of Brother MFC-9700 downloads - I suggest that you always go here looking for drivers.  You want to maybe create a folder and make the backup copies of the software.

    Hello MichelleOZ,

    Items scanned by scanner are stored as Images (usually from the MPEG files) so I would look in the pictures folder. Otherwise if you remember what you call the files when you saved them you could also search for them via Windows Explorer.

    File photo:

    1. open Windows Explorer

    2. look in the folder list on the left side of the Windows Explorer window

    3. Locate the folder of photos

    Search:

    1. open Windows Explorer

    2. place your mouse cursor inside the Windows Explorer search box (upper right side of the Windows Explorer window), and then type the name of the file that you want to search

    3. Windows will now search for the file.

    4. once found, click on the file to open it.

    I had this printer for some time but have never been able to properly print to this printer using this specific computer.   FYI, I'm trying to print wireless at it. This office has wireless compatibility.  I have the drivers and all (I think, I HP everything at the time but not the disk that came with it I lost only).  Don't know why it fails, he said only: "unable to connect to the printer.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi aunt Shirley.

    First of all, we're going to connect the printer to the network:

    -Restore default values of network within the menu on the front panel of the printer wireless.
    -From your computer, connect wirelessly to the network printer (it should be a name similar to HP - Setup - xx - Deskjet 3510).
    -After successfully connecting to the printer, open a web browser such as Internet Explorer or Chrome and type 192.168.223.1 in the address bar and press ENTER.
    -Click on the Wireless Setup Wizard
    -Select your router and enter the password to connect to the printer to the router.

    Run again the printer software to your computer to rediscover the printer on the network.
