• I'm scanning in legal size docs. with my printer/scan/fax. The application of fax scan in windows 7 does not show an option to paper size for legal-size paper.

  I have a new HP with Windows 7.  I'm scanning in legal size docs. with my printer/scan/fax.  The application of fax scan in windows 7 does not show an option to paper size for legal-size paper.  I could do this on my old XP computer.  Microsoft forgot add parameters of legal size in this application?

  Hello notnewbee,

  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

  You do not give the model of your printer/scanner/fax machine so I can't direct you to the website of the manufacturer of specifc. However, I would
  you go to the website of the manufacturer of your printer and download the latest drivers for Windows 7. Sometimes, if you use a driver that is not intended for your operating system, then your device can operate and install, but some features may not work.

  If they do not have an updated driver, then try the compatibility mode for Windows XP and see if your printer will work correctly.
  The information below will show you how you can make older programs run on Windows 7 here.

  If please reply back and let us know if this helps solve your problem or if you still need help.

• Cannot get Windows XP Home Edition for a mapped network drive / share on a computer of Windows 7 Pro 64-bit

  I constantly tried to use the "NET USE" syntax to get a Windows XP Home system to keep & share mapped network drive on a Windows 7 Pro 64-bit of the system and nothing I tried or worked on ANY blog. I can map the current network through made normal drive right click on 'My computer' and then provide a designation of drive letter with the correct path and have had great success using the function "connect using a different user name." However, even with the box checked to re-connect to the opening of the service is WORTHLESS! I made a lot of attempts to use the Net use syntax to create a batch file to overcome this non-functional raw application. I would really appreciate someone who actually had this issue resolved and work. I have looked at all the Windows files on the XP machine, searched the registry about a possible switch, which could make the necessary changes and have made all necessary changes on the Windows 7 system to accept the mapped network share. Help!

  Hello

  Since you have a network with different OS' I hope that Win 7 is configured to run on asnetwork work.

  If evry thing is configured properly it can be a problem of how your router keep information network. With the help of Staic DHCP or IP static on computers could help solve the problem.

  Just in case you need to reconfigure your network.

  ---------------

  Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.

  Group residential network = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.

  Working network = fundamentally similar to previous methods of sharing that allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.
  
  Public share = network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.

  For the best newspaper of the results of each computer screen system and together all computers on a network of the same name, while each computer has its own unique name.

  Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

  General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq#trusted
  Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall isactive .

  Since you have a network with Win 7 and the other version of Windows, you must configure Windows 7 as work network.

  In the center of the network, by clicking on the type of network opens the window to the right.

  Choose your network type. Note the check box at the bottom and check/uncheck depending on your needs.

• Network connected to PSUS4 printer goes offline when the PC is shut down...

  I am close to giving up this problem, help would really be appreciated.

  My printer network disconnects when my computer is shut down or sleep. I have a Samsung printer connected to a print server through a router Linksys WAG160N Linksys PSUS4 wireless. Two computers that are hard cables to the router to see and access the printer without problem. I now have a new laptop Sony Vaio (Vista OS) that accesses the router WAG160N wireless. The Vaio connects to the internet OK, but everytime I shut down the PC, the printer is offline and remains offline to the Vaio when I start again.

  If I remove the printer of the Vaio and then 'add printer' again, by selecting the option "Add a network, wireless or bluetooth printer" shows the printer as \\LK90a6dd\p1 network is available. But if I try to connect to it, I have "X Windows cannot connect to the printer". If, instead of this, I choose 'Add a local printer' and select the existing port "\\LK90a6dd\p1 (renderer client-side) ' and the printer driver series Samsung ML1210, the printer is installed, works very well and remains online - until I have stop the Vaio, it is. Then delete the printer, install the printer etc to access the printer again.

  Pleeeaaassseee help...

  Kevin, I owe you a drink. I have added the printer as a local printer (as opposed to network), entering the IP, etc print driver, restarted the computer, and... the printer remained online. Unlike many critics of Vista, I found that it is a reasonable operating system. But maybe it's the glitches like these that give it a bad reputation. Thanks a lot for your help. Really enjoyed.

  Thanks for all your help aaron, I think I found the problem, the Working Group was the same (which was a problem earlier, but you had me change this before), was sharing, discovery network was on, file sharing was on, I could not even access my xp computor, it turns out it was a firewall issue When I reset my wireless router (don't forget my son reset by mistake, and this is where the problem started), there were a few changes, I noticed that I had 2 firewall running on my xp, my mcafee and my windows firewall, that was the only difference I could find, so I disabled firewall mcafee on xp as my computer vista laptop (when I had a printer connected to the vista I could see it of computor) XP so I'm thinking he had something to do with scomputor xp settings) and now I can see my xp computor and printer as before, not quite sure what, but changes in firewall seemed to do the trick, I didn't even have to install the printer on the computer vista laptop, just showed it as a printer on xp computor the printer works, thanks again for your help

• Windows 7 does not detect my printer, even if I can enter an IP address and access

  I just bought a HP Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium laptop computer for my wife a week ago. I made the easy transfer of his old laptop XP and reinstall the printer driver for our network Canon MX860 printer. It is networked via an ActionTec wireless router. The MX860 is configured for a connection cable and a cable cat 5 to the router has. Printing worked for a few days and then stopped. I uninstalled the driver and redownloaded the driver from Canon site for 64-bit Windows 7. Then, I tried several ways to get the printer working:

  1. on a wireless connection to the router, I used the Canon Installer, I get an error saying that no printer was found and I had to cancel the installation. (On the laptop, I am able to connect to other computers on the network and surf the net. I can enter the IP address of the printer (192.168.1.4) and pull upwards to a Web page showing he has an active status. I also have other laptops Windows XP that connect this way and have no problems.

  2. also wireless, I went to the printers and devices in Windows 7 and has chosen to add a printer and then chose the network option, he looked for a minute or two and then he said No printers found.

  3 and 4 - I tried 1 and 2 with the laptop connected to the router via a cat 5 cable.

  5. I tried to configure the printer via USB and works. Then I tried to change the port of the printer with a network port, and in the process GET a message that says the printer can not be detected.

  When I click the network button on the Start Menu, it then shows the printer. If I double click on the printer, it gives a message saying that the WSD driver is installed successfully, then the load the HTML of printers page, and once again, it shows the device according to availability. But I am not able to print.

  Therefore part of Windows 7 detect my printer and allows me to access it via HTTP and the other part of Windows 7 says that it can't find it.

  Is there hope for me? My wife wants to print and I feel like a jerk, because I spent the hours and have nothing to show for it. I bought the computer at Costco a few days ago and I guess that one option would be to return. I know that the printer works on a laptop with XP and Vista. I'd be better off getting another machine or even another machine with a different OS?
