Why can't I add a printer Network Wizard "add printer"?

What about windows XP.

A network printer mysteriously stopped working. When I use the wizard of windows 'add printer' does not fill any device on my network. Why? What I can do to add a printer. An error message is this printer not found on the server. The only thing that the wizard is in the windows network. I don't see even peripheral in the "My network devices" list Ant ideas?

I need a little more information...

The printer is directly connected to your network with an Ethernet cable, or is the printer connected to another computer via a USB cable and then the other computer connected to the network by an Ethernet cable?

Do not see other computers on your subnet to which you should is usually indicative of a master browser issue.  In my experience, the cause of this problem is a computer with a misconfigured firewall on as little as one of the computers on your subnet.

"Internet firewall can prevent browsing and file sharing.

  • Why can't connect me to my network to work, but I can connect to my home netwrok

    A few weeks ago, I went into labor, connected to the network.  After doing other work, I went back to my computer typed a document and press only to notice that I was no longer on the network.  There was no interruption in power, the computer does not cut: he was sitting on my desk.  At this time there, the network wouldn't let me turn it on again.  I would get a message saying: he can't connect because it timed out or due to the action of the user.  I rent a space in a small office - there is no information TECHNOLOGY staff.  The landlord had someone and have reconnected.  I could connect the next time I was in the office with no problems.  A week after I got back on the same thing happened, and even once I can't always on.  There is someone else coming into the office during this period (I'm with a patient when she arrives so it is in the same time of 30 minutes each week, the same day) and I wonder if when she connects could it be me?  The other day I work, I'm the only one in the office, and when this was corrected at the first time that I could get that day without incident. No one else has this problem-, but they're working on the time where that other person is not in or it's already here and connected when they arrive.  What can I do for this fis.  From now on, they tell me this is my problem and that it must be my computer but I can't connect to my home network without problem.  I am getting very frustrated because I need to go to print documents or really work on something outside to see my patients.  What could be the problem?  I think the last time that he has been fixed, they reset the router, but they won't touch me any equipment.

    Hello

    I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing. I'll certainly try and help you in the matter of fixing.

    To help you to propose measures to solve the problem, I would appreciate if you could answer the following questions:

    1. how many users is configured on the computer?

    2 are logged as administrator?

    3 have you logged on a domain?

    4 is it a cable or a wireless connection?

    5. you have any antivirus installed on the computer program?

    6. are you aware of any recent software or hardware on the computer changes?

    You can disable temporary, your security software and check.

    How can I turn on or turn off the firewall in Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later versions?

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    You can also try the steps and check if it helps. (You must be logged on as administrator to run the steps)

    a. Click Start.

    b. click on run

    c. type cmd.exe, and then press ENTER.

    d. type the following commands, and press ENTER.

    ipconfig/flushdns

    ipconfig/registerdns

    ipconfig/release

    ipconfig / renew

    You can also see the article , if you are using a wireless connection.

    Hope this information was helpful and let us know if you need help in the future about Windows. We will be happy to help you.

  • Why can't you add/delete the folder libraries in office without having to edit the registry?

    • All other files in the desktop folder in Windows Explorer (such as a computer; Network; Control Panel) can be added/removed via their own check in control > customization > Change desktop icons. All except libraries. Why not?! INFURIATING!
    • I know that you can create a shortcut, but I wanted the real folder to be visible like any other - coherence/elegance please!
    • I was able to tweak the registry to display the folder libraries thanks to the estimable sevenforums http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/938-libraries-desktop-icon-add-remove.html
    • But it's a work-around - there should be a check box!

    Listen to Microsoft? Sorting!

    It is not available as a tick box option in Windows 7, and you can pin Windows Explorer in the taskbar. It will launch directly to Libararies.
    Its also very convenient for access to libraries.

  • Why can I not add music to the next place more?

    This new update *. The feature that I found important on the old update has been removed, the possibility of creating a queue up next. I don't see why you could get rid of this ability. Explanations or something, I see no need to for?

    In addition, the design itself *, on both the app and the office. It was better before.

    You have to touch to add songs to your queue until the next Force the song you want to add to the queue and select play. The song will be added to your queue up next and will play just after the end of the currently playing song. What you can or can not find in the Force Touch menu is the option to play letter which replaced the option Add to the next place on previous versions. Everything you add to the next queue play literally will then play unless you rearrange once on the queue. Some have reported having the option of playing later in some cases, and then it disappears. Me, I've not seen once again. I hope this helps.

  • Why can't I add keywords in properties file to jpg files?

    I am organizing and add further power when looking for pictures by adding keywords (tags).  I right click on the file then click on properties, and then click summary.  I fill out the empty fields and click apply then ok.  When I reopen it the properties of all of the fields are empty again.  It seems that I can add them to other types of file.  Why not jpg?

    Thank you

    Well, that's really strange.  Anyway, I don't really have the means to hang a flash directly from my camera, so I put the flash drive in my computer with the camera.  Move the photo into the flash drive and tried to give keywords while on the flash drive with no luck.  Move the picture on my hard drive, still no luck.

    And I'm not sure how but you has inspired me to think about something.  I had my jpg files associated with Corel PhotoPaint X 5 so when I opened them, they opened in Corel.  I changed the association to Windows fax and picture viewer and my problem is solved.  I can now add all the info I need.   Looks like I need to take this discussion to Corel :(

    I thank very you much for the time and effort you invested in my number!

  • Why can I not set my printer as printer defaoult?

    I have Windows 7 on my comp. Office and may not have to allow my Canon MX472 to the default printer.  I tried to go through the start-up devices. / default printer and it always gives me an error code "operation failed" and the code 0 x 00000709.  I contacted Canon and they crossed me as much as they could.  Their conclusion was that it should be in the Windows 7 program.

    When I tried to use the printer I have to cut and paste into word, and even that does not always work.  It shows the Onenote to the default setting.    How to recognize MY default printer?

  • Why can't I add a removable device folder Windows in Surface RT libraries?

    Hello

    I added a 32 GB microSD card to my Surface RT. In this map, I copied my mp3 in the folder music (D:\Music); I want to add this folder to the music library, but when I chose the folder on the removable device I get this error: "this file cannot be included because it is on a removable device.

    If I click on the help link "which locations can be included? I see that removable media (such as CDs or DVDs) are not taken care of but external drives and USB flash drives are supported.

    I also tried with a USB, but I get the same error.

    Why microSD and USB are not supported in the Windows library files?

    Thank you very much.

  • Why can't I enter a print resolution?

    So I don't print many large prints. I have a good offer to hang some large prints on screen though and I will do a few not dear costco of 20 x 30. I shoot with a Canon 6 d. 240 DPI. When I export these images on my mac to download at costco, should I leave the Res to 240ppi in the export area? I know a lot of people said 300 DPI no ppi, and I can't always grasp while it is still important. I read this isn't, but I also read if you export at costco 240 suréchantillonne 300 place lightrooms sampling is far better. Can someone finally resolve this confusion for me?

    > And now I'm confused again. Why would I want high-end? Site Web Costcos says expressly that the ideal for 20 x 30 is 3000 x 4500 to 150dpi. UGG, it is hard.

    They want probably just to balance their bandwidth to download a little and stop people from sending large files. You get perfectly acceptable prints by not upscaling and not something special and just their transmit an export to sRGB jpeg of your file. My instructions were more for eking out the last bit of quality (subjective). Impression of sharpness really makes a very visible difference as does using the good printing profile. In my opinion a bit upscaling and then impression of sharpness seems better than the impression of sharpness to the size of the native image, but I think that opinions may differ on this. The profile is very important in my opinion, because without it prints Costco going darker and more hip upward in the shadows you see on your screen. If you care about the details of shadow a lot you may prefer a more percussive than sending sRGB contrast shadow will give you. It can make your feeling all too dark however.

  • Why can't I add a keyframe to my precomp?

    Hello

    I've created a demo of a series of images. I am trying to apply a glow in the middle of the demo, but I can't add a keyframe as i's greyed out when I go to animation > apply the keyframe. Why is this? I can apply the glow effect to the precomp together but it does not create a keyframe, can someone clarify what is happening here, I want only the glow will operate at half way through the procomp.

    There are several ways to do so. But don't go into the menus for any of them.

    There are several things that you can animate to make the glow start differently. You can split the layer and apply glow to the second part. You can simply activate keyframes on ANY property of the glow effect (it is probably the way to go) - what setting keyframe you is up to you; You'll need to experiment.

    That said, I'm sure that Dave link will benefit you much more. AE is much more complicated that new users think it is.

  • Why can't I add a website?

    starting today 06/05/14 I can't favorite all websites by clicking on ' bookmarks-> Bookmark this Page ' or clicking "Ctrl + D".
    How can I fix?

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that disables some settings and disables most Add-ons (extensions and themes).

    (If you are using an additional theme, place you in default theme.)

    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Mode without failure of Firefox in the Help menu by clicking on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item:

    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. Please follow the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.
