• HP1102w continues to lose the network SSID

  My Laserjet 1102w wireless worked fine for about a year.  Now he has started to lose my network connection.  When I print a status page, it shows that it is "connected" to SSID HP8AA7DC, which I assume is the default value of HP, and had no IP address.  I re-installed the printer 3 times in 4 days and it works fine for a day, then the same thing happens.  I am running Windows 7.  To my knowledge, nothing has changed recently other than to have an extra laptop using the network (never printed however).  This could be the cause?

  OK, thanks for that.  We will set an IP address of the printer:

  -Print a the front of the printer Network Setup Page. Note the IP address of the printer.
  -Enter the IP address in a browser to reveal the internal settings of the printer.
  -Choose the network tab, then wireless along the left side, then on the IPv4 tab.
  -On this screen, you want to set a manual IP address.  Set the IP Address of the printer to the same as its IP address but replace the latest figures with "250".
  -Apply the subnet 255.255.255.0 (unless you know it's different, if so, use it)
  -Enter the IP of your router (on the Page of the Network Config) for the gateway.
  -Enter for the first DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 for second DNS. It's Google DNS. You can choose a different external DNS if you wish.
  -Click 'apply '.

  Now, stop the router and printer, start the router, wait, and then start printing.

  After that, you will have to redo 'Add printer' using the new IP address.

• Connection to printer VISTA continues to lose

  OK, simple problem: I have a week old Dell PC with VISTA Business. It is connected to a printer on the Office Server, but every day it loses the connection, and THE only way to reconnect is to remove the printer and re-install. We now have 2 Dell PCs with VISTA that I have this problem. All other PCs are XP and there is no problem with these. This HAS to be a common problem - I'm the thqat one person think Windows updates should take care of this? Is not the kind of requirement very basic that Windows updates is designed for?

  Hey viacom,.

  It sounds like this is a problem quite complicate you have on your hand.  Normally, we do not support server network here, but you will need to go to Technet.  In your case, I suggest to look for local professional help or call Support technique Microsoft for the distance to take a look.  Problem is too big to fix in a forum.

  Hope this helps, Kevin

• OfficeJet Pro 8600 all-in-One connected as network printer loses connection

  In December 2011, I bought a HP Officejet Pro 8600 all-in-One to replace an Officejet 6500 as my network printer home. The 6500 worked very well on my cable, but his screen did not, I tried some of the features offered by the 8600 and I got a good price on a new warehouse of BJ. I have the 8600 connected via ethernet (not wireless), with a static IP address. All my computers on the network are running Windows XP Pro SP3 and are up-to-date with Microsoft updates. However, from one day to the next my 8600 will lose connectivity scan (Scan of the computer shows it as being disabled on all my computers at the same time, and I can't reconnect), and if I do not have anything he'll (as in a few hours) also lose connectivity impression. The only way to restore connectivity is to uninstall the HP Officejet Pro 8600 device software basis of all computers, and then reinstall the printer. I had a phone conversation and two debates with HP Technical Support; They suggested that the problem is in the firewall on the computers (but if that were the case I don't think that the loss of connectivity would occur on all computers at the same time), the IP address setting (doesn't make sense) and the printer driver is not not the latest version. I tried all the suggestions, and none of them have solved the problem. The last counselor "has raised the issue to the next level", which proved to be a Manager with no technical expertise and his only suggestion was that I have to return the printer to the merchant. I think the problem is the firmware in the printer (which, according to the 'update' on the printer option, is the latest version). Any other suggestions or experience?

  After a lot of research and find the settings that I did not know that Windows XP offered, I found that the following appear to have solved the problem I've known - at least the printer is now operational for more than 48 hours without losing printing or scan connection. Here are the steps I used:

  1. Start Control Panel  connections network and Internet

  2. Choose "network connections."

  3. Right click on "connect to the Local network.

  4. Choose "Properties".

  5. In the top window is the name of the Ethernet computer connection port, select "Configure" next to this window

  6. Select the tab labeled 'Power Management'

  7. Uncheck the box "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".

  8. Select the "Advanced" tab

  9. Select the entry "power saving Mode".

  10. If this entry is set to change 'On' to 'Off '.

  11. Select 'OK', and then close the windows that were opened

• Add a network printer by using different credentials in Windows Vista Home Premium

  Hello

  I am trying to add a shared network printer (from server) of a computer running Windows Vista Edition Home Premium. The user must authenticate by using different credentials, but I can't find a way to force Vista to connect with different credentials.
  In Windows 7, it's easy, I just add an entry in the credentials manager and everything works, I can connect to the server, access to all of the actions that the user has access to and add the printer.
  In Windows Vista, I can't do that. "" If I try to add a network of credentials in the "stored user names and passwords", I can only add a "a Web site or program identification information. "A credential to Windows logon" is greyed out.
  When I try to access the share in Windows Explorer, I get an access denied. Instead of having Windows pop up a dialog to authenticate, he tries just to the help of the currently connected user credentails, which isn't what I want.
  If I try to add the printer using the Add Printer Wizard-> add a network printer, when I enter the path to the printer, I also have an access denied instead of bring up a Windows authentication dialog box.
  Any help is greatly appreciated!
  Thank you!

• 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 with XP and Vista

  I initially installed my printer (Canon i850) on the XP computer, then I disconnected the USB cable and plugged into the Vista computer.  Vista has found a driver and it worked.  Then I put in network computers via ethernet and a router.  Now, I try to add the printer as a network printer on the XP computer, but he can't find a driver.  Computer that needs a new driver and what type?
  Is not the XP computer generate a print file using a XP compatible driver, send the file to the Vista machine, and it sends the file to the printer?  If that's true, he should be able to use the driver that is already on the XP machine.

  Extremely misleading terminology

  When you use the Add Printer Wizard you must select: "Local printer attached to this computer" even if the printer is connected to another computer.
  Only after that I tried this option has noticed the "(i) ' who says: to configure a network printer that is not attached to a print server, use the»»
  local printer option.  Indeed, he tells you to do two things in the face.

  I think that the Assistant must have been modified to only three choices: (1) Local printer, network (2) printer connected to another computer, (3) network printer attached to a print server.
  The underlying confusion is due to the double meaning of the term "network printer".

  My problem is now solved, but not through Microsoft or you guys.

• [SOLVED] Cannot add the Vista network printer

  Hello!

  I have a Kyocera FS1118MFP of k-x installed in a XP machine and shared with other computers.

  I installed it successfully in other XP machines, but I'm not able to do so in all Vista machines...

  I already formatted Vista.

  I have the following settings:

  -The discovery of the network: WE

  -Value private network

  -File sharing: WE

  -Public folder sharing: WE

  -Password protected: OFF

  I've run the wizard for XP network enabled file and printer sharing and then restarted.

  I put the same workgroup for Vista and then restarted.

  I don't have any of the following AVs installed:

  I.S. Norton, McAfee, Trend Micro or Kaspersky

  I downloaded the drivers from kyocera and installed on Vista and tried to add the printer again...

  Nothing seems to work. Please help me...

  Already done that it did not work...

  Found another solution but...

  The printer has an ethernet port. Connected that to the router, then install the drivers and successfully detected and installed the printer...

• Printing for Vista Home Premium 32-bit network: Blank document or disappears from the queue

  I'm having trouble printing large format HP DeskJet 1000 c, which is connected via a parallel cable to my Media Center/DVR PC running Windows Vista Home Premium 32 - bit SP2 on my printer. I connected with the success of this printer to two different computers, a desktop PC running Windows Vista Home Premium 64 - bit SP2 and a laptop Mac OS x 10.5.8. I can print from the local computer very well, but when I try and use the printer on the network, one of two things happens depending on what machine I try and print from:

  1. from Vista 64 Desktop: printing the task appears, treats and disappears from the queue to the local printing on PC DVR. Printer advance a sheet of paper as if he were about to print, then waits with a power indicator light flashes. If you send a new job network, the tip sheet of paper is ejected and the process begins again. If you send a new job locally, the tip sheet of paper is ejected and the local job will print normally.

  2. from Mac OS x: printing the task appears, treats and disappears from the queue to the local printing on PC DVR. Printer does nothing.

  Although the process of networking of printers with OS X 10.5 and Vista is a bit more complicated (annoying) it was with XP, I am able to print from the Mac to a printer on the Vista 64 machine very well. Similarly, PC DVR allows you to print to the printer of the Vista 64 computer and a printer connected to my Mac desktop.

  I checked the HP site for drivers and since it is a quite old printer, there is no listed for any operating system newer than Windows 2000 (which a pilot has been included with the operating system). Any ideas as to why the PC DVR will not take of the network print jobs? Unfortunately, this complex printer (3 printers, 4 machines) installation is somewhat needed due to the possibilities of each printer and how my home office is laid out. If they did a multifunction, printer laser color large network format, I could sell my soul for what it... But I'm not aware of such a machine available to mortals.

  There is a difficulty that recently came on the HP Forums for 64-bit Vista:

  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/printer-all-in-one-software-and/DeskJet-710-720-810-820-100-series-printers-patch-for-64-bit/m-p/203377#U203377

  All you have to is to download the mentioned file and replace some dll with those provided.

  The question remains with OS X, but I do not expect that Microsoft will provide no support for this.

• Cannot install network printer on Windows 7. Detects the printer then it says cannot locate the driver. All my vista and XP machines have no problem finding drivers. It is a 32-bit 64-bit vs questions? How can I fix it?

  Cannot install network printer on Windows 7.  Detects the printer then it says cannot locate the driver.  All my vista and XP machines have no problem finding drivers. It is a 32-bit 64-bit vs questions?  How can I fix it?
  Windows Server 2008 network.  Printers have ip addresses. Install the drivers from the Print Manager.  /Terminal Server Workgroup installation.

  It's the same situation with XP.  The print driver names must match.  If you notice the name of the printer driver that uses XP is a name different from the one that is installed when you plug in the device on the Windows 7 computer.  This is just my assumption, please correct me if this isn't the case.

  The real solution is to install a 32-bit driver on the XP machine that uses the same name that the 64-bit driver and share a printer using this driver or find a 64-bit driver that uses the same name as the 32-bit driver installed on XP and install the driver on XP.
