When connecting to a printer through unc path asking for credentials__
When connecting to a printer through unc path asking identification information
Hello
· Have you been able to connect to the printer before without any problem?
· What is the exact error that you are experiencing?
· Version of the OS (Windows 7 / Vista/XP) you want to share the printer with?
Universal Naming Convention is a naming convention used primarily to specify and map network drives in Microsoft Windows. UNC names are most commonly used to join servers files or printers on a local network.
UNC names identify network resources using a specific rating. UNC names consist of three parts: a server name and a share name and an optional file path. These three elements are combined using backslashes as follows:
\\server\share\file_path
If you try to share a printer on a Windows Vista/7 computer, then I suggest you to check the article mentioned below.
File and printer sharing: frequently asked questions
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/file-and-printer-sharing-frequently-asked-questions
If you trust everyone on your home network, you could opt to turn off sharing protected by password, which is enabled by default in Windows Vista. This will avoid the need to create user accounts the same on all computers on your home network. But remember that disabling makes sharing protected by password for your network less secure because anyone can access the shared contents of your computer. Here's how to turn off password protected sharing:
a. open the network and sharing Center by clicking the Start button, clickingControl Panel, click network and Internet, click network and sharing Center.
b. under sharing and discovery, click the arrow next to password protected sharing, click turn off password protected sharing, and then click apply. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Thanks and greetings

Client Microsoft NFS cannot lock files through UNC path names
I have a \\server\share\filename.txt file on a linux NFS server and an application (lockfile.exe) that uses the lockfile to lock this file.I traced the \\server\share to z:, so I could do 'lockfile.exe z:\filename.txt' and he succeeded.When I tried to block that through UNC path name, 'lockfile.exe \\server\share\filename.exe', I got an error is NOT supported.In looking at procmon log I noticed that mapped path requests see as ' \; '.

Your question of Windows 7 is more complex than what is generally answered in the Microsoft Answers forums. It is better suited for the IT Pro TechNet public. Please post your question in the TechNet Windows 7 networking forum.

Print is too small to read when printing through WMWare Fusion 6 for Windows on a Mac
When I try to print word or excel documents, printing is tiny. I tried to reformat and change the size of the text, but even if the data only use a couple of columns and takes less than a page of text, it prints on half superior to A4 in lowercase characters. I tried to link to both Mac and Windows with the same result.
Help please my eyesight is not good enough to read my documents when printing via Windows.
It is the printer passthrough technology, any printer installed on the host Mac can be used on a virtual Windows computer with VMware tools installed. The printer name contains #: 1 or #: 2 suffix.

Error when you try to print through CS6 on Macbook Pro at Epson 7890
Error "there was an error in the opening of your printer. Printing features won't be available until you have selected a printer and reopened all documents. "seems to be everywhere on the web without any solution. Epson says it's a problem of software with Adobe CS6 - I can print on all programs on my printer Epson 7890. They just cling on me after that. And they have a point.
I have all the latest updates of adobe and Apple. 10.10.3 on 2012 macbook pro with the retina display running. 80 G of free space on SSD. New Epson printer ran fine after installation for about a week and then this happened and I was not able to print from. I have all deleted and reinstalled the drivers and checked all cables. It works very well with other programs. Unfortunately, I am a photographer who needs to print from CS6 for efficient workflow - and hey - it should work right? In my view, it is a major problem and no one has a handle on it at Adobe. Please let me know if I can help troubleshoot - I retired IT - software development for most. It's important! Obviously CS6 throw errors on the printer and does not allow communication to occur.
Please advise!
Thank you

I found that it works. Finally...
See if that helps you at all. Adobe doesn't seem to be on the ball with this one. Not sure why it occurred-, but this finally fixed it for me.
Try resetting your preferences file.
Start Photoshop and immediately press Command + Option + shift.
Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop settings file?"

Yes, that means that it is there, is it connected ? If not, you need to set up to enter a pin code which is located on the printer control panel.

Photo PhotoSmart 7520 tray is blocked when I try to print photo 4 x 6 for the first time.
I just bought this 7520 and installed the software; then when I tried to print a picture for the first time, I kept getting the error message that the photo tray is locked (will not travel to bottom to pick up the blank photo paper) even if no clogging. The call centre could not solve the problem, and they ship me a replacement printer; but I suspect that this may be a common problem.
I searched the post, and someone else had the same problem. The solution is that the tab on the slide of paper size was outside the slide area. I fixed it, and the printer now prints pictures.

1. If it works well before?
2 have you made any changes to the computer before the show?
Method 1:
You may experience connectivity problems or performance issues when you connect a portable computer that is running Windows Vista or Windows 7 to a wireless access point:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/928152Method 2: Uninstall and reinstall the network adapter drivers.
Follow the steps mentioned.
(a) click Start, right click on computer.
(b) click on properties, click on Device Manager
(c) expand the network card, right-click the wireless adapter option
(d) click on uninstall
(e) now go to your computer/wireless device manufacturer's website, download the updated drivers and install them.Follow the below mentioned article:
Updated a hardware driver that is not working properly
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isn ' t-work correctly -
Update- good because when the wireless radio failed to convert a wired Ethernet printer to wireless technology, or if you want your printer to support greater security WPA2 wireless.
Updated - connect to a hotel/motel/school dormitory may not work if the network uses Enterprise authentication requesting a user name and password on your computer.
This article will try to explain how to connect your wireless devices, including printers, to a wireless network when you are away from home. The problem when you're in a hotel, motel, room student or other areas is your computer connects fine, but your wireless printer, you have brought with you, has connection/security problems. Other people/wireless devices can find the printer on an open network, connect you to the printer and start printing without reason just because 'they can do. "
You'll need is a small wireless travel router. TP-LINK TL-WR702N Wireless N Nano router or other router of trip is all you need. The WR702N is available on eBay or Amazon for only $21.00, that's right, only $ 21.
This device does not support the authentication of company systems because it cannot meet any username and password prompts these system as your computer can. However, it will connect to a standard WPA SSID and your computer, but if you receive a browser for other questions page redirect, it won't work.
It's a small powerful travel router which built in 5 modes of operation (more than your home router can do):
- AP mode
- Client mode
- Repeater mode
- Router mode
- Bridge mode
The TP-WR702N information is found here:
http://www.TP-link.com/en/products/details/?model=TL-WR702N#over
To see the overview of applications see here first to understand:
http://www.TP-link.com/en/products/details/?model=TL-WR702N#app
I won't go into the details on how to configure these modes in the TP Link router Nano as the manual does a great job. One thing you must remember is that you must assign a static IP address on your wired Ethernet connection of computers to access the Web interface internal of the Nano. The Nano is configured with an Ethernet cable at any time. It's security that the router that has DHCP disabled so if you connect to a network, you won't crash it with an IP address conflict. The Nano is powered by a USB cable and comes with a USB AC adapter too.
The IP address of the Nano is default 192.168.0.254. Set your computers Ethernet Port, adapter not wireless, a static IP 192.168.0.1, 255.255.255.0 DNS address. You have to find a way to do it yourself, but it is explained in the manual and on the web for the operating system of your computer.
This leaves your wired Ethernet connection to a static IP address and your adapter wireless DHCP. Don't forget to put your wired to DHCP if you need to use it later for a wired connection. Connect the Ethernet cable from your computer to the router Nano.
Set up your browser by going to 192.168.0.254 (Nano IP address) in the address bar and you'll get the username and password login screen. The default username and password is admin/admin, you can change it if necessary.
Set the Nano bridged mode:
Other modes will be mentioned later but for now; Bridge mode will serve as this isolates and creates your own SSID private the hotel/motel/dorm room open wireless network SSID. In Bridge Mode you entrance and connect to the Rangoon SSID (paraphrasing) AND set up your own small network with your own SSID and password. Your SSID will be separated and protected through WPA2-AES security that you set up. You will be able to go online normally fine, but all of your devices will now connect to your private SSID.
Example:
Hotel SSID: HILTON Hotel Paraphrase and password: GUEST
Nano SSID: MYNETWORK Nano Paraphrase/password: HP5514
With this information, the rest is easy. You set your SSID private and password first, they you must find and connect to the SSID and password hotels. Simply click on the SURVEY button and a list of all available networks will be displayed along with their MAC addresses. Find the network SSID, you want to connect (bridge) too and click on "connect". Information is entered automatically. I suggest that you also edit your channel wireless on a fixed channel as the 1, 6 or 11, never 'auto '.
Save your settings and you will be told to restart the router. Follow the instructions and always restart the router after any changes take effect. This Nano restarts in 20 seconds approximately.
Now on your computer when you scan available networks, you will see MYNETWORK. Connect your computer to the SSID and enter your HP5514 password and you're on! Start surfing or something else.
Now, what about your printer? The printer must be set to DHCP and assuming that you have a printer wireless with front panel:
- Go to (Assistant) wireless configuration screen.
- Search for available networks.
- Select: MYNETWORK
- Enter your password: HP5514
- To connect!
In about 15 seconds, you're connected! Oh, guess what? The Nano has a WAN/LAN port and in Bridge mode, it is a LAN port that is connected to your network too! Then plug into a printer/computer Ethernet cable, if you wish.
Your printer will work as usual with no change at all. I set up in my house to test and it connected perfectly to my HP5514 wireless printer. All the tools, diagnostics, printer functions, alerts of ink were normal.
You're done!
The bottom can be used anywhere to create a local private network so that you and others can use your printer.
Now, what about the changes? If at home, you can use the Nano in Repeater mode to connect to your own network and extend the reach of all devices. Even as the Bridge mode, but you're on your network using your SSID and the word normal, so everyone can use the printer.
Don't worry what you heard with speed of execution of a router in Repeater Mode. Most routers House when running in wireless Repeater mode should be set to no encryption or WEP only. Here max speed is 54 Mbps. This Nano turns at full speed of 150 Mbps in these modes, using the highest security WPA2-AES (personal).
Remember that the size is small, so it's good to perhaps more than 50 feet. HD video streaming was impeccable and surf watch video at the same time was perfect.
I hope this help you when business or vacation. Some hotels charge for EACH device connection. With the implementation above, it takes only a charge for multiple devices, such as cell phones, iPads, light fires, computers or anything else you want to connect.
EDIT - do not forget that this Nano device has an Ethernet connection that once configured, you can use to connect a wired computer or wired Ethernet printer. It is a good radio your printer wireless doesn't have to convert a wired Ethernet wireless printer or if you want your printer to support greater security WPA2 wireless.
Have fun!

Most likely, you won't be able to connect.
