Windows 7, and homegroup to print from my laptop connected wireless...

I have 3 desktop computers running Windows 7, all networking, all in a homegroup with a HP all-in-One printer attached to one of the desktop computers. I also have a Toshiba laptop, also Windows 7 computer in wireless network and as part of the homegroup. When I print from the laptop, sometimes it will print and other times, it will send the print job but it's like the printjob enters the twilight zone and nothing happens. Confused on how to solve this problem, any suggestions?

Hello

1. What is the number of the HP printer model?

2 are you able to print correctly on other computers?

3. who is the antivirus installed on the laptop program? Is there a firewall integrated with the antivirus?

4. is this problem limited to any specific application such as Internet Explorer, Microsoft Word etc.?

It seems that the firewall program is blocking the printer. I suggest you perform the steps.

Method 1:

Step 1: if you have McAfee or Norton installed on the computer, you can change the default firewall settings and check.

Step 2: Disable the anti-virus software if installed some and check.

Warning: 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 need to 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, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

Method 2: Restart the print spooler service

You must be logged on as administrator to perform these steps.

a. open Administrative tools by clicking the Start button, then Control Panel. In the search box, type administrative tools, and then click Administrative tools.
b. double-click on Services. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
c. right-click on print spooler service and then click Properties.
d. under the tab general , next to Startup type, make sure that Automatic is selected.
e. If the service is not already running, under Service status, click Start and then click OK. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  • OfficeJet 6000 computer connected to windows 7. Unable to print from the laptop Windows XP

    Printer connected by USB to the Windows 7 desktop.  Printing is fine.  I have two computers on the same network of working group, file sharing is allowed.  My laptop detects the printer on the network, but there is apparently a driver problem.  The disc supplied with the printer will only install on XP and Vista, so downloaded the drivers for the new office of windows 7.  I either get a message "Failed to print" or "the handle is invalid."  When I tried to connect to the printer via the network of sharing and tried to open it, I was told that the wrong drivers were located on the server.  He had the air of a file with *. INF.  Do I have the wrong drivers on the desktop or do I need to install the drivers on the laptop?  I never had this problem with my old Vista desktop.

    Hello.  Finally, I was able to install additional drivers for XP on the server computer and can now print from the laptop.  Thanks for the help!

  • How can I remove the Windows, "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer" program from my computer

    I use another software Photo and picture Windows and Fax Viewer interferes with my work with the other program. Therefore, I would like to remove the Windows, "Windows picture and Fax Viewer" program from my computer.

    Info for WIndows XP - Windows Picture and Fax Viewer
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    OK... but be careful... you'll lose thumbnails of photos in Windows Explorer...
    your 'My pictures' folder... for example... does not display photos.

    And... FWIW... WP & F Viewer is not a program... it's just a .dll file. Disabling
    the .dll file is basically identical to uninstall. (in this way... If you do not
    as the result... you can reactivate).

    But if "gone forever", that's what you prefer... just delete the shimgvw.dll file.

    Attention last... your thumbnails in the Explorer will be gone.

    How... Disable WP & F Viewer

    Click Start / run and enter the following command:

    Type or copy/paste...
    regsvr32 /u shimgvw.dll
    (Yes, the space after the 2 and you is necessary)

    Press on... Come in...

    (You should see a dialog box indicating:)
    DllUnregisterServer in successful shimgvw.dll)

    How... Reactivate the WP & F Viewer

    Click Start / run and enter the following command:

    Type or copy/paste...
    regsvr32 /i shimgvw.dll
    (Yes, the space after the 2 and space after that the i is necessary)

    Press on... Come in...

    You should see a dialog box stating:
    DllRegisterServer and DllInstall in successful shimgvw.dll

    To remove shimgvw.dll go to the following folder and do a right click Delete shimgvw.dll.

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\shimgvw.dll

    If you can't find the path, you must go to...
    Button start / Control Panel / folder Options.
    See tab /... to check "Show hidden files and folders"...

  • 4524 HPEnvy: Unable to print from my laptop

    I have a HP Envy 4524. I can print from my Ipad but not my laptop HP Pavilion. When I try to print from my laptop paper feeds by perfectly, but there is no printing on it. There is no question from my ipad. I've already printed normally from the laptop to the printer. Any help appreciated. I should add that test printing prints perfectly. His only docs etc.

    I re-installed the printer and all the drivers from scratch and I think it has solved the problem. Do not have time to do a lot of printing, but the three pages that I've done are very good. Phew! There was also a large 10 Windows Update available so I wonder if that had something to do with it.

  • DeskJet 3050: HP Deskjet 3050 nothing happens when printing from a laptop computer, but works very well of others

    So I just got a new laptop and I am trying to connect to my printer. I think he has connected all the beautiful and the printer will appear on my laptop. When I go to print something good, it is said that it is printing on my laptop (including indicating the percentage of how much it is printed) before disappearing from the queue on my screen. Nothing happens however on the printer.

    When we use another laptop that is connected before, it prints perfectly.

The laptop is able to communicate with the printer, it can check the connection settings, get ink levels, scanner works very well, etc., but never print jobs is completed.

I tried all the solutions suggested and don't know what else to do. As I said, it worked fine til today. Help, please
