Windows 7 is not network DeskJet 940c
Hi, I am trying to get a PC running Win7 Home Premium (64 bit) for print on a DJ940c (USB) is connected to another computer on my home network, it's (the two connected PC the router) running Win XP.
When I tried setting up as a network printer, he couldn't find a driver (or native Win7 Windows Update), but I knew from the Web site it is supposed to be a base in Win7. So, I temporarily plugged the printer directly on PC Win 7 and followed the instructions on the site...
Who finds a driver OK in Win 7 (not Windows update) and it worked (although, curiously, my apps couldn't see it when it has been set as default printer; otherwise they might not).
As I can not configure the connection as a permanent solution, I then re-tried by the network installation, but it still says that it cannot find the drivers.
Any thoughts?
Thank you
Martin
Follow these steps: install the printer via a USB port. Now, unplug the printer and reconnect it to your XP machine. On the machine Win 7 go to devices and printers folder, right-click on the Deskjet 940, printer, port properties, add a Port, Local Port, \\XPComputer\Printername (replace appropriate for the computer and the printer share names), OK.

Windows 7 can not network with other
Hello
I spent 9 months trying to get 2 win7 computers talk to each other. I wonder if its actually not possible.
the reason why I have not set up a homegroup is that I want to add a mac and an old machine winxp to the network.
2 computers - a laptop computer and a desktop computer, the two running win7, both connected to the same router.
The laptop can sometimes see and read and write on the desktopThe Bureau may sometimes see the laptop, but not connect to it. Most of the time that he do not see.
The Office can be seen on the network, but cannot connect to its own hard disks via the network. "Network Error" check the spelling of the name. Otherwise, there could be a problem with your network. Click on "diagnose" - when I click on diagnose - "Troubleshooting couldn't identify the problem.
If I right click on the computers in the windows Explorer, they are both on the same workgroup.
In the network and sharing Center
Laptop base information and setting up of connections network - shows
This computer - Asus (router) - InternetBasic network information desk and the installer connectsions - shows
This computer - network 5 (no idea what network 5's)-InternetIf I click on "View full map" of the network and sharing Center, computers appear on the diagram, but continuous available to change that is to say, sometimes the laptop seems to connect to the internet through the desktop computer and not the router
In the network and sharing Center if I clik on "Set up a new connection or network" a dialog box appears saying "choose the Wireless router or access point to set up" but nothing appears, it just freezes
Please can someone point me to a forum thread where someone else was having a similar problem and they have actually managed to solve

Re: Persuade a Deskjet 940c make it work with Windows 7
Is there another way to get this driver? Computer Windows 7 I try to reconnect a Deskjet 940c is on a network of government agencies. Even though I have the administrator rights on the machine, a strategy is defined at a higher level which disables the function of Windows Update on this machine. The Windows Update button is not even. It seems that there is a place on the HP web site where I could get this driver, but I was not able to find it. Can you tell me a way I can get this driver without having to use the Windows Update feature? Thank you.
I tried with the 32-bit and 64-bit versions and downloaded without problem. You could try one more time, or perhaps download on a less binding system and move files with a CD or thumb drive.

Persuade a Deskjet 940c make it work with Windows 7
I have a Deskjet 940c with a parallel port connection.
I've just upgraded my PC to Windows 7 (64-bit) and there are no drivers available for this combination.
HP has ceased to update its software for this printer and Windows 7 doesn't have its own driver for this printer.
Can I use any other driver to get the printer to work? If so, which?
See you soon

Have tried just about everything I can think of. computer is connected to the front secure networks without problem.
More information would be useful. Windows XP did not support thereafter until SP3 WPA2 wireless encryption, so if you have not installed SP3 and try to authenticate on a network protected by WPA2, it may not work.
Assuming that you do not have SP3 installed, try to go into your wireless network configuration / configuration screen. (There are several different configurations of wireless, including ZeroConfig, but we do not know that you are using). All most of them save previous in a 'profile' wireless connections so that when he meets this wireless again, he knows how to configure itself. Find the section of your configuration screen profile, look for the SSID of the router you are trying to connect, and if you see it, then delete that profile. This will allow your machine to then reconnect to the router wireless with an open mind.

I recently created my home network again. It consists of a laptop running windows 7 Professional 64 b, b Office windows 7 Professional 32 running and a netbook under windows xp home. Two computers running windows 7 recognize each other and share correctly, but the netbook will not recognize the other computers on the network at all. They can see it, but then say they can't access them when you are trying to access. They are all on the same workgroup. Computers that run windows 7 discovered the network, file and printer sharing, and public folder sharing all lit. Password sharing is disabled and windows manages the homegroup connections. Any advice would be appreciated, I need to use computer dvd players 7 on the network to install some things on the netbook.

Connection Internet lost Windows 7, but not the network connection
I have exactly the same problem as the first post, I have the connection to the internal network to other computers on the network, but not internet connection. This is not related to the download but happens every time at the beginning to the top. I can fix it by disabling the network card and the reactivation, (although the "Wizard" problem does not fix it) I have an internet connection for the rest of the session. It is certainly a problem of Windows 7 and not a hardware problem, it is a clean installation on an ex Vista machine that had no problem with an internet connection. The only programs I have installed are MS Security Essentials and Photoshop. I have read through the entire thread and tried many 'solutions', but none have worked (although I have yet to try the Adobe fix, I'll try it tonight). It is hard to believe that with so much affected that MS have not corrected it yet. I used Windows on different machines of 3 Windows Vista and never had this problem before.
Hello
On the other hand, there are Millions of computers Windows 7 works without problem too.
Because Windows 7 is a more recent version than most chipsets and drivers of several computers that are out there, it can be also some problems with the network card, or even the router.
Learn more about the manufacturer of the network adapter (or chipset so it is on board) and download the latest Win 7 drivers possible.
Update current drivers with the downloaded drivers.
You can also try to assign the card with a static IP address that is out of reach DHCP IP from the router.

I was trying to set up a homegroup on my main computer, but on the second computer, I never had the opportunity to join the homegroup. I'm sure that I have everything set up properly, but I can't get the second computer to join.
I have a switch that my internet runs and a cat cable goes to each computer. Each computer can access the internet without any problem, but none appear in other network list. They have the same name of working group, I just can't understand it. I use Windows Firewall.

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.
