Can I attach a printer wireless with XP Media Center Edition 2004?

Hi DWGSMITH,

Yes, you can connect a printer wireless on XP Windows Media Center Edition 2004.

You can follow these steps to install the printer:

(a) you can use the supplied with your printer installation CD to install the drivers for the printer on your computer software. Alternatively, you can download & install the software of the printer from the manufacturer's website.

(b) connect the printer wireless on the computer. Make sure the printer is powered before you continue.

(c) click Start menu > settings > Control Panel > printers and faxes.

(d) click on "Add a printer" in the navigation bar on the left under "Print jobs." The "Add Printer Wizard" opens.

(e) follow the wizard until you reach the page "Network or local printer" and choose "Local printer"... «or «Printer network...» "Choose the basis on the question of if the printer is connected directly on this computer or a print server or other computers on the network.

(f) type the wireless network password, if prompted. The Printer Wizard can also ask to install drivers to print before the final connection is made. Click 'Yes' If you receive this prompt.

(g) close the wizard when you get to "Finish."

  • want to 4500 A9T80A: wireless printing

    Hello

    I want 4500 all-in-one series printer. Model A9T80A.

    I am connected to the internet. My wireless switch is turned on (on the printer).

    I can print from my computer (i.e. documents saved on my computer).

    When I go to print from the internet, I have the save option to not print.

    I don't know why this has happened.

    In the past, everything printed fine.

    Thank you.

    Hello @cr3,

    Welcome to the forums of HP.

    I understand that when you print from the internet it prompts you to save instead.

    I would like to help.

    You can print from the web browser, Chrome?

    If you select change destination.

    He probably returned to save in PDF format.

    You can change the destination of your printer.

    This will change the economy print option.

  • I want to turn off live TV, recording in Media Center.

    Using a Dell Inspiron 9400 T7200 2.0 Ghz 4 MB, 4 GB, 500 GB + 200 GB SATA. No problem in Win7 x 64 installation. All of this Live Recording disc activity too sucks juice when I am on battery. Can it be disabled?

    For the record, it is ridiculous that I can't watch live TV with Media Center without writing to disk and read it.

    The reason why it doesn't work like that?

    Each DVR works this way, including those of your cable company and Tivo.  They write in a buffer, and then read from there, it's just the way the products work.

    1. what version of Windows, including the service pack is on the desk? Windows xp edition family sp 3. HOM

    2. What is the brand and model of your printer? Canon office while a pixma mx310

    4. how and what is connected to the printer? USB cable to the desktop

    Ok.  You can 'share' the Canon printer, which means that you will be able to print to it from your laptop when your laptop is connected wireless to your router.

    This is called 'file and printer sharing' and here are some basic tips on setting up, courtesy of the MVP Malke (you have already completed part A, then start with the part B). Read the part in the first paragraph I put in bold.  If you do not understand the last paragraph on sharing the printer, read one or more of the articles from Google search.

    You can also watch all or part of the first 5 links in this Google search: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=xp+sharing+printer

    If you want to share your cannon sweep feature, you will have to read the manual to see if it is possible and (b) how to put in place.  He usually just is to use the Canon CD to install the printer and its software required on your laptop the installer knows that the Canon is a shared network resource.

    The best and simplest is to buy a wireless router. In this way you
    get Internet connectivity both machines and the added benefit of some
    more security between you and the Internet. Next, you set up your wireless network
    network in any security, and then you configure file/printer sharing. Below you will find
    information on the implementation of a router and also in networking. Looks like
    long but don't be intimidated. Setting up a router and local area network
    sharing between two computers takes about 15 minutes.

    Configuration of the router.

    Setting up a router is simple enough. Normally, you run the CD that came with
    the router and follow the instructions. If you're running Vista may be the
    CD that came with the router does not work; I do not know this. But you can set
    the router without the CD. Note that if you have Internet, cable for the
    connection you just put the router to DHCP (or there may even be a)
    cable choice to choose). If you have DSL Internet, you generally
    Select PPoe and enter the username and password you chose during
    initially setting up the DSL connection. So:

    1. turn off the power to your cable modem.
    2 set a course of ethernet cat5e cable (usually supplied with the router)
    the port of the router to port Internet/WAN modem ethernet cable.
    3. connect the CAT5e cable from your computer's network card ethernet cable
    one of the ports on the router. If you do not have an ethernet cable
    (because you were using USB), you will need to go to the store and buy a.
    4. turn on the cable modem. After that all the lights are on, turn on the router.

    To configure the router:

    Have a computer connected to the router with an ethernet cable. Examples
    given are for a Linksys router. Check the manual for your router or router
    site Web de MFTR. for the parameters by default if you don't have a Linksys. Open a
    browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox and in the address bar type:

    http://192.168.1.1 [Enter] (this is by default the router address IP, who)
    varies from router to router then check your manual)

    This will bring you to the login screen of the router. The default username is left
    Blank and the Linksys default password is "admin" without the quotes. Come in
    This information. You are now in the configuration of the router utility. Your
    utility of configuration may be slightly different from mine.

    Click the Administration link at the top of the page. Enter your new
    password. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE. Enter it again
    password to confirm and click Save settings at the bottom of
    the page. The router will reboot and show you the box of connection again.
    Do not fill in the user name and put it in your new password to return in the
    configuration utility.

    Now, click on the link wireless at the top of the page. Change the wireless
    Network name (SSID) default to something you will recognize. I have
    suggest that my clients do not use their surname as the SSID. For example,.
    You may want your "CastleAnthrax" wireless network name or the
    as. ;-)

    Click on save settings and when you get the prompt that your changes have been
    successfully, click the wireless security link which is just next to the
    Wireless settings link base (where you changed your SSID). If you have a
    Newish computer, you will be able to affect the Security Mode
    WPA2-Personal. Do this and enter a password. The password is what you
    come on all the computers that are allowed to connect to the radio
    network. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE.

    At this point, your router is set up and if the computer that you are using
    to configure the router normally goes for a wireless connection, unplug
    the ethernet cable and wireless of the computer should see your new
    network. Enter the password you created to join the network and launch
    Surf.

    B. file/printer sharing of

    Excellent, comprehensive, but easy to understand article on file/printer
    Sharing in Vista. Contains information about sharing printers and files
    and folders:

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx

    For XP, start by running the network on all machines (see Setup Wizard
    caveat in section A below).

    Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused
    (1) a misconfigured firewall or neglected (including a stateful firewall
    Firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently running two firewall such as the
    Built-in firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall; and/or (3) not having not
    accounts of the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup; (4) try
    to create actions where the operating system is not.

    A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow the local area network (LAN)
    traffic as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, it means which allows file / print
    Sharing on the Exceptions tab normally run the Network Setup Wizard on
    XP will take care of this for these machines. The only "witch hunt" is that this
    lights on the XPSP2 Windows Firewall. If you are not running a
    third-party firewall or have an Internet Worm antivirus «»
    Protection' (like Norton 2006/07) which acts as a firewall, then you are
    fine. With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN
    with a range of IP addresses. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Of course, you
    substitute your correct subnet. Do not run more than one firewall. DO
    NOT DISABLE THE FIREWALL; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

    (B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This
    is from the System applet in Control Panel, the computer name tab.

    C. create the counterpart of the user accounts and passwords on all machines. You do not have
    must be connected to the same account on all machines and passwords
    assigned to each user account may be different. accounts/passwords just
    need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE
    PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to start directly
    on the desktop (a particular user account) for convenience, you
    to do this. The instructions on this link work for XP and Vista:

    Configure Windows to login automatically (MVP Ramesh) -.
    http://WindowsXP.MVPs.org/Autologon.htm

    D. Si one or more of the computers is XP Pro or Media Center, turn off
    Simple file sharing (Folder Options > view tab).

    E. create share as you wish. XP Home does not home users sharing
    directories or files of program, but you can share folders inside those
    directories. A better choice is to simply use the Shared Documents folder.
    See the first link above for more information on Vista sharing.

    F. you have the job of file sharing (and tested by exchanging a)
    files between machines), if you want to share a printer connected
    locally to one of your computers, share it to this machine. Then go
    for the mftr printer Web site. and download the latest drivers for the
    correct system. Install them on the target machines. The
    printer must be collected during the installation procedure. If this is not
    install the drivers, then use the Add Printer Wizard. In some cases,.
    Some printers need to be installed as local printers, but it's outdoors

  • Want 5530, wireless, printing from a laptop Mac and Windows 7

    Hello

    I've just set up my new Envy 5530 wireless printer on my iMac (running Mac OS 10.9), I can print comes it very well, even from my iPhone / iPad. I also posted an e-mail to her address and that works very well, too.

    However, I also have a laptop HP ProBook 6455 b and I'd like to be able to print wirelessly, of him also. But this does not work, I'm unable to install the printer using the "Devices and printers" Wizard on Windows 7.

    I went to:

    Control Panel > hardware and sound > devices and printers > add a printer > add a network, wireless or Bluetooth printer. This printer is not found, even when it is on and the rest of my devices can see and print on it.

    Do I need to download and install the drivers for Windows 7 from hp.com? Or is there something that I am not making the invisible to my Windows 7 computer printer?

    Thanks in advance for your help,

    David G.

    Hi David G.,.

    I understand that you can not get the printer connected to your Windows laptop. You are on the right track, you need to download HP ENVY 5530 e-all-in-one of the printer drivers. Select your operating system, and then click the button "next". Scroll down and click on "Driver - Product Installation software. Click Printer series e-all-in-one HP Envy 5530 full feature software and driver. This should bring up the download page, click on the 'Download' button and I suggest saving it to your desktop and run the installation from there.

    Hello

    HP Auto Wireless automatically sets the printer without connecting it to a USB port, only if your computer is also connected wireless to the network. If your PC does not have wireless connectivity USB cable would be necessary, except if your router supports WPS.

    If your PC is connected wireless to the router, restore the pritner as follows:

    1. Click on the WiFi the printer button and select restore network settings, confirm and invites.
    2. Click on the Setup (wrench) and select Tools, then restore the default settings and confirm any command prompt.
    3. Turn the printer off and turn it back on
    4. Open the HP Officejet 4620 software and follow the instructions to connect a wireless printer.

    Another option would be the WPS Pin Code or button WPS, if your router supports supported such a, tap the icon on the printer wireless and select WPS or Wireless protected Setup, follow the steps on the screen, press the button of your router or a PIN code, see the documentation for your router to check the capabilities of WPS.

    If none apply to your PC printer or yout, use a wireless computer connected or get a USB cable for the installation of hht, so a cable was supplied with the printer.

  • HP5740e all-in-one: Deputy HP5740e Print will not add wireless printer

    I recently had a problem where printing of pdf documents is out as unreadable solid ink lines. I have it narrowed down to only occurs with specific policies and only a reader of pdf special and only on my hp printer. I suspect that this was due to software updates, but I don't know if it's windows 10 updates or updates of adobe or some other updates. Now I just avoid using the fonts of the problem.

    In any case, an attempt to solve this problem, I decided to uninstall my 5740e hp software and reinstall the software in the hope of resolving the problem. Unfortunately, it has not fixed the issue but left us with a problem even more serious.

    Having resinstalled the software I couldn't add my printer as a printer wirelessly from the HP Print Wizard. He added fine as a usb printer and a web printer but not wireless.

    I added the printer wireless via the windows & Panel devices configuration printer OK. It prints wirelesslessly and via printing web so physical connectivity is very good.

    I really want that he recognized by the HP Print Wizard so that I can scan from the office.

    When I go to add the printer as a wireless printer, it detects the device OK showing its ip and mac, then goes on the installation of the printer and comes back with the unsuccessful installation of the device, and shows the red x between the router and the printer.

    Any ideas? It was working fine until I reinstalled the printer software.

    Another way to scan office without using the HP print wizard?

    All assistnce solve will be appreciated.

    Whether or not you can use AirPlay to print is dependent on the capabilities of the printer.
