  Original title: printer HP LaserJet 4050 of PCL6 compatible with Windows 7?

  I have a desktop windows xp pro (SP3 5.1.2600) and you have a printer HP LaserJet 4050 PCL6.  The printer works fine connected to the desktop computer with a parallel port.  I'm trying to share the printer on my home network so that Win 7 (6.1.7601 SP1) laptops can use its printing features.  Please help.

  First I tried to add it with \\hostname\printername that returned this error: windows cannot connect to the printer: operation failed with error 0x000004f1.
  I downloaded and installed the Win7 drivers on the HP site on my laptop Win7, that has not changed a thing: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=18318&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=25475&swLang=8&taskId=135&swEnvOID=4063

  Hello

   

  1. the two Windows XP, Windows 7 connected in a same workgroup?

  2. can you access files shared XP of Windows 7 computer?

  3. check if the printer is shared or not?

  I suggest you follow these methods and check.

  HP LaserJet 4050 PCL6 printer is not compatible with Windows 7. Printer drivers are available for Windows XP-based computers only.

• Unable to connect to my printer - operation failed with error 0x00000002

  My printer was working with my laptop via a wireless network. Now I can't print or connect to my printer. I'm always connected to the network, but I can't connect to the printer. When I try to add it, I can see the name of the printer and I select it, but I get the error "Windows cannot connect to the printer" [operation failed with error 0x00000002]. I changed from Windows Vista to Windows 7, several months ago, but I don't know if that makes a difference (I think I used printer at least once since I change). Help, please.

  Ive had the same problem.  Win7 - 64 bit tries to connect to a printer on another pc win7 64-bit.

  "Unable to connect to the printer.
  "error code 0x00000002".

  what worked for me:
  Right click on computer, select Manage
  Click on "services and applications", then click on 'services '.
  Scroll down to "print spooler", right click and select "Properties".
  Click 'STOP' service, and then click on 'START' service.

  Start the "Add printer" Wizard and it worked, yay!

• Windows cannot connect to the printer operation failed with error 0x0000007e

  Hello

  OS: Windows 7 x 86 SP1

  Print server: Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 x 86

  Printer: HP LaserJet 8150 printer shared and listed in the directory

  Problem:

  When I try to install the printer in the Add Printer Wizard, choose install a network printer, she finds a driver on the server, installs, then brings up an error (see topic).

  In the Print Service logs, I see the following:

  "The print spooler failed to load a plug-in module, 0x7e error code. See the user context information for event data.

  I can install the printer very well if I choose local printer, new port, TCP/IP, and enter the IP address. This isn't a solution, as users cannot be expected to go through this process, or for me to go around all the machines and do it manually. More I want than the print jobs to the print server's spool, and I think that the local installation method uses the local spooler.

  I tried to install the driver of HP UPD PCL 6, x 86 and x 64, on the print server.

  When I check what the client machine pilot chose to install by going to the properties of the print server, I can see that he chooses the former driver "HP LaserJet 8150 Series PCL 6". I presume that it is incompatible with Windows 7, that's why I am getting the error cannot connect.

  How can I get Windows 7 clients to use the UPD?

  I left our Windows 2003 print server to a Server 2008 and comes to install the HP UPD x 86 and x 64 for each printer. Now everything works perfectly! All XP and 7 customers can install printers network without problem.

  I suspect that the problem was due to have many different versions of drivers on the old print server, and customers did not know which to use?

• HP series D110: update Apple OS Sierra this morning. Now unable to connect to the printer HP series D110 to scan.

  @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.

• HP Deskjet 3510: HP Deskjet 3510 - unable to connect to the printer

  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.

• 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.

  Hi Robrw,

  1. when exactly you receive this error?

  2. don't you make changes to the computer before this problem?

  You can try to rename the catroot2 folder and check if it helps.

  Step 1:

  a. Click Start and in run type C:\windows\system32 and click ok

  b. find the Catroot2 folder. Right-click on Catroot2 and rename it to Catroot2.old

  If you are not able to do the normal mode, try to start in safe mode and rename

  Check out the link for more information on starting your computer in SafeMode below:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315222

  Step 2:

  If you are unable to access the catroot2 folder, and then try to change the permissions on the files and check if it helps.

  See the following article:

  How to capture a file or a folder in Windows XP

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/308421

  Step 3:

  You can also try to temporarily disable third-party security software and firewalls and check what is happening.

  Note: Activate the security software after the resolution of the problem.

• Operation failed with error 0 x 00000006 (Windows 7 x 64)

  We have a homegroup with a desk and a laptop (wireless connection). Both are running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.  The laptop and reviews share files on the desktop and vice versa, but it cannot access the shared printer attached to the desktop computer. The driver of the printer, a Canon MP500, is up-to-date (I have no problems printing directly from the desktop) and sharing has been enabled in the properties of the printer.  When I try to install the printer on the laptop as a network printer, the laptop sees the printer but will not connect. I get the following message: "Windows cannot connect to the printer. Operation failed with error 0 x 00000006. "Any help would be appreciated!

  Hello

  • You have security software installed on the computer?

  You can try to install the printer as a local printer and then check if you can print from the network. To do this follow the steps below:

  c. create a new port and in the drop-down list box make sure you "Local Port" is selected and click Next

  When you click on the console of a virtual machine, the server that hosts the vm responds back with its host name for your client to connect to.  Thus, the MKS console could not be connected to, and you could not see the virtual machine console, until you updated name resolution.  Given that the ESX host is back with a name, the customer could not resolve the name, if your client could not connect to the virtual computer mouse, keyboard, screen.  Hope that makes more sense.

• Unable to connect to the printer wireless HP D110

  Bought a new printer D110 last week.  Turned on, it has detected my wireless router Actiontec (Verizon FIOS) with signal max, and I logged it, using my WPA key.  It appears that he successfully connected and returned a hard copy report indicating that he has passed all the tests, at the address IP 192.168.1.4, which is within my reach.

  However, when I told the installer to use wireless rather than in USB mode and entered the IP address assigned to the printer, she returned with a message that it cannot connect to the printer.

  I disabled all firewall and antivirus software and repeat this step again and again, same result.  It's on a laptop Toshiba Satellite brand new under Windows 7 Home Premium.  The laptop has had zero problems wireless in and of itself.

  I repeated the installation on a 8 years old Sony Vaio laptop running Windows XP Home Edition with all the latest service packs and updates.  Same result, failure.

  I checked the software admin to the router, checked that it has detected the printer and assigned to this address.  However, neither the router nor either laptop can ping the printer successfully.  Laptops can ping each other, and the router pings successfully.

  I went to USB mode and connected the printer to the new laptop.  Works very well.

  I'm guessing there's a permissions/firewall problem going on here.  I don't use MAC filtering.  I opened the port 427 incoming UDP activity.  No change.  Any help appreciated.  Thank you.

  You can try to run WIndows Update again and again to make sure that your system is the last and largest.

  Also, download the latest version of the software for your printer from the "Support & Driver" link at the top of this page.

• Unable to connect to the printer 8500 A910

  When I first connect my printer to the router and install the printer driver on my computer, I can print documents. However, when I turn off and on the computer, the computer cannot connect to the printer (coz I can't print any documents) even if it is connected to the router.

  Anyone know how to fix this?

  Hi @Donald0812

  When you try to print, do you have an error message any? If so, what would you say?  While I wait for you, please complete the solutions proposed in the following 2;

  • Printer keeps no connection Wi - Fi
  • "Printer is off-line" Message appears on the computer and the HP printer does not print

  I hope this helps.
