USB printer on a Vista wireless network connects to the laptop Vista.

The printer is a Kodak AiO ESP 3, connected via USB to a desktop Vista Home built.  Second office is a homebuilt XP, which has no printing the printer problem.  It detects automatically.  Laptop is a Toshiba L305D-S5928, also running Vista Premium family, installed at the factory.  Laptop computer "sees" the printer installed on the desktop when it tries to connect, I get a message that says: it cannot connect to it.  It is as it tries to connect to it as if the printer is a wireless printer, and this isn't.

Make sure that the printer is Vista Compatible and you have installed the latest Kodak printer drivers for the Vista machine.

  • Problems with wireless USB adapter. Icon missing "Wireless network connection".

    I recently got a laptop HD malfunction cause me to start my PC from 2004. I bought a Belkin N150 Wireless USB adapter to connect to the internet connectivity. During the installation, I do not get a "Wireless network connection" icon I am running Windows XP SP3. I installed the same USB adapter on a computer running Windows XP SP2 and it works fine. I plugged it in my desktop PC and it just doesn't work! Even with my router disconnected I should still be able to see other networks WiFi available in the range (I live in a community of apartment) as he worked on the other computer it elsewhere too. I double checked the drivers, reboot the cable modem, so that appropriate services were activated and still no dice. I have read forums and I'm almost at the point of paying MS for technical support services, but it's really just my last step before I shell out money for professional help. Notice to lovers? =)

    Hello

    Well, at this point, you should make an executive decision.

    If you think that someone will take just guilt because it's comfortable, it is not going to happen.

    If a new card that is known to work does not work, then you can try to re - install Windows.

    One of the differences between computer enthusiasts and regular users is the availability of the material. I have a set of wireless router, network cards, etc. that are known to be good.

    The components are used for the sole purpose of trying them temporarily on the troubled computers to rule out hardware problems.

    Hello

    I thank you and wish you the same.

    I see that your problem has been solved using the HP driver that you mentioned on Thursday, November 18 in your message and the Express.sys is a problem with Windows install.

    I suggest to install the version of Windows install 4.5 on the system from the link below and then update the driver from the link that was attached to your question before and check.

     

    Step 1:

    Install windows install 4.5

    Windows install 4.5 Redistributable

    Step 2:

    Update the driver from the link you mentioned in your previous post.

    I suggest you to check with TP-link if this model is compatible with Windows XP or not.

  • Wireless cause: the network connection from the laptop to the router, but internet access comes and goes through procedures to 'fix '.

    The Dell laptop I bought is little used, not refurbished a downsizing Corporation.  I bought a refurbished by Cisco, Cisco Linksys router.  I can't stay on the internet for any period of time.  At the time that I open the browser, after the wireless connection, it goes your 'connected' to 'no internet access.  If I go through the diagnosis and fix it, it says I'm connected, but 'no Internet' returns quickly.  It shows a diagram of the connectivity of the laptop to the router but not to the internet router.  I had a second router refurb sent, and it does the same thing.

    This is all new to me (wireless and mobile), so my words my being turned off, but I wonder if it might be the wireless card, or network card (or is it just a different name for the router).  I mean, it's something in the laptop.  If I plug the DSL directly into the laptop, I have a perfect internet connection, so I did not thing is my provider.

    Any help/suggestions appreciated!

  • In loose wireless network connection once the last update of definition for Windows Defender - KB915597 is installed.

    Hello.
    The problem I've been is that I lose my network connection to my wireless network when windows downloads and installs the latest update of Windows Defender (definition 1.55.1119.0).
    It can detect the network and others nearby, but cannot and does not connect to my network.
    The only way I can solve the problem is to do a system restore to an hour before the update was installed and disable automatic updates.

    I have a HP Pavilion dv9000 running Windows Vista Home Premium.

  • Unable to print - Officejet J5780 all-in-One, connected to the laptop USB

    I bought a HP all-in-one Officejet J5780 in 2008 and all this year I started having problems printing. I am a student online so I need to print assignment or documents related to the class of my laptop, or make other personal business which involves an impression. I connect the printer to my laptop with a USB port. I have Windows 7 Edition home premium on my laptop. When I bought the printer, I used it with another laptop with Vista. Last year, I bought a laptop.

    I'm going to open a document, click on print, a box will appear as if sending information to the printer, and then nothing happens. The file is located in the print queue whose status is empty. Sometimes stop the printer and re - start, it would start printing once reconnected. But no more. Sometimes if I start my printer first, let it sit, start my laptop, let it sit a bit, connect the USB cable, let them rest a bit, then try to print it will work. But it is rare now. Sometimes if I am performing a repair online it suddenly started working. But it becomes harder and harder.

    I guess I need to new drivers or something, but I don't know which ones to download from HP. This new laptop does not recognize the printer software disk came with.

    I try to start printing HP and doctor Scan and it detects my printer at the start, but at the next step, it does not, said that it can not be connected. I can print an alignment page or test page.

    Or is it time for a new printer?

    I know that is not the USB port on the laptop, because I used the plug with other types of USB cables and everything works. I was wondering if the printer USB cable is bad or corroded the output on the printer itself. I bought a new USB cable and tried. The printer has been detected, updated drivers, and until now it works fine.

    I can't access a wireless connection with my computer wireless network connection. The icon in the bottom right of the screen shows a red X and says 'not connected wireless network connection. The wireless on my keyboard button does not illuminate

    I tried to change the channel on the new ADSL2 wireless router and refreshed looking for wireless connections, but still not found connections. I have not used a wireless router before and never used a wireless connection with this computer so I don't know if the wireless card works or not, if the properties of the wireless adapter indicate that it works. Is there a way to check if the computer's wireless card is running or connected and if not, how can it be connected? Thank you

    I finally understood by trial and error, why I was unable to connect wireless to a modem, that you sent me. In my control panel, I found that the properties of HP Wireless Assistant had "Hide status icon" checked, so I checked it and the icon came in the bottom right of my screen. I left then clicked that icon and it showed the wireless and bluetooth was OFF so I went in and it now works.

    Why HP support could not help me in what I don't know, I just got the race!

  • Unknown device on network adapter between the laptop and the wireless router

    I am running windows 7 64 bit on a laptop computer connected wireless to the router and internet.  The router is Linksys WRT160N connected to the internet.  The map of the network, there is a question mark device unknown between the laptop and the router.  However, I still have access to the internet.  In terms of network, if I hover over the laptop, it does not show an IP address.  It only shows the name of the computer and its MAC address.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Solved my problem.  I checked the button of the IPv6 protocol in the properties of a network connection on the laptop, and now I can see it's the IP address and the unknown device has been replaced by a switch and hub which is part of the router.   I do not uncheck the button IPV4.  I'm guessing that it is a bug in Windows 7 that you need to cut of ipV6 Protocol when you have a Win XP computer on the network if you want to see a map of own network.  As I said before, everything worked before, so this seems to be a cosmetic fix only.  I see that my shared files on the XP computer appear faster after a reboot.

  • Printer all in one HP3520 - how to select the wireless network and enter the WEP key?

    According to print my wireless network is detected.

    How to connect the! @# % printer $ fo the wireless network and enter the WEP key?

    Instructions on the HP site tell me to selet NETWORK on the printer control panel.  Well, there's a way to select the NETWORK from the control panel.  It is not an option for him.

    I downnloaded and installed the latest drivers.

    I have restored the default settings.

    How to select the wireless network and enter the WEP key?

    All of HP's instructions seem to be for a newer printer with a touchscreen.

    I want that the printer is connected to my main computer via the USB port.  I want to be able to print wireless phones and tablets.

    My 3520 is not a 'touch Screen' and it has wifi.

    However, the following work:

    Try to open the HP Deskjet 3520 icon, open the utilities tab, click on convert USB wireless, by following the steps on the screen.

    This leads me to believe that ONLY the wireless doesn't work.  I know now that the part of the sentence "Convert USB to wireless connection" is supposed to mean "works like USB and wireless.

  • Equium A60 - no wireless network connection

    Hello world

    I have had a good look through the forums and can't find anything related to this but my apologies if this has been addressed elsewhere :-)

    I set up a wireless home network with a Windows XP desktop computer with a router and a laptop old Win98, WinXP SP2, which I can't connect and an Equium A60. I installed two different network on the A60 USB adapters, seems to be okay with all of them except that there is no "wireless network connection" listed under network connections Control Panel. Both cards work fine on two other machines, so there must be a problem with the A60. I installed an adapter and then uninstalled before trying another.

    Under control-> connections Panel Network, I can see an old broadband connection and the connection to the Local network (which is allowing me to connect to the router via Ethernet, so that the router will work), but the wireless network connection icon is not there. The driver for the USB adapter makes its appearance in Device Manager and is reported as working properly, but if it worked correctly then (I think) a wireless connection icon should appear - it happened with my other WinXP desktop.

    Any ideas of what could be the cause?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    I guess that the external WLan USB stick has been recognized one installed correctly. You said it appears in Device Manager. Are you sure that the WLAN USB key has been recognized to 101%? !!

    If the WLAN USB key is recognized correctly, check the properties of this stick. (I think you should right click and then click on properties).

    But if the stick was not recognized, you must verify the properties of the single USB ports and power safe mode.
    Choose the USB single root hubs in device, right click, properties, tab power management Manager and disable the option called allow the computer to turn off the device to save energy.

    So maybe it helps

  • I lose the internet connection randomly but never lose my wireless network connection.

    I use a hp pavilion dv9500 with 64-bit vista sp2 and built in a wireless adapter that will fall randomly my internet wireless connection, but maintains my wireless network connection with an excellent signal strength.

    My (non-permanent) fixed
    I know how to reconnect to the internet, but it forces me to diagnose a repair my connection. It then displays "cannot connect to Server primary dns (75.75.75.75)"after which it gives "things to try" who never work and a button 'Reset the ip address' that I click. " repair bar will fill up to half way and go to a new screen solution that shows more 'solutions' and a "reset wireless adapter" button which I click. the remedy bar will fill and then display windows can not solve the problem and go for help. I then manually disconnect from the wireless network and my computer will automatically reconnect to the network and to the internet. It takes about five minutes to fix, but it happens so often that it is getting boring. The process will not work if I only to reset the ip address and then disconnect from the network, only to reset the wireless adapter and then disconnect, or just disconnect from the network and reconnect. I have to reset the ip address and the wireless adapter and then disconnect from the network.

    The internet connection will tend to disconnect when I watch a lot of youtube videos, when I download large files like a game on steam, or just just randomly when I use it. I'll use it for a long time and he can't let it go, but sometimes it will go down to ten minutes after I had just reconnected in a drop-down list. It happens randomly without another warning that download time will increase from 2 mb to 50 k in two seconds all about or stop the loading of a youtube video when I look at it.
    I searched everywhere for an answer, but it's as if it were a new problem for all humanity or just im the only person who does not know how to solve this problem, because there are no forums or FAQ not related to my problem. It is not so much a serious problem such as an irritating problem that appears at inconvenient times or when I just want to relax and watch a video. It takes some time to reconnect and even though I know how it would be better if my connection would just stay connected to the internet at any time.
    I have no idea what the problem could be that whenever I have find I never get related problems. all advice or solution would be great.
    I also share this modem with other three commonly used computers: a wired office and two other laptops that the two are connected wirelessly. both other laptops do not have the same problem as mine. My router is a linksys e3000 wireless router.
