Windows 7 network printing problems

I've upgraded to Windows 7 from Vista Home premium, the two versions are 32-bit. If you are using Vista and I tried to connect to the printer on my home network using a wireless network to a runing XP Home Office, I receive an error message that says: access denied. I get this same message using Windows 7. He sees the printer on the network but will not connect. If I connect the printer directly to the laptop, it works fine.

Your "Access denied" error indicates that you do not have file/printer sharing set up properly.

Configure file sharing / print:

Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused by 1) a misconfigured firewall or a firewall neglected (including a dynamic firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently run two firewalls such as the firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall. and/or (3) do not have accounts to the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup. (4) tries to create actions where the operating system does not.

In Windows 7, go to control panel > everything in Control Panel > network and sharing Center. Click on "change the advanced sharing settings. You don't want to use the residential group unless you have all Windows 7 machines. If you do and you want to use the homegroup, see Windows 7 Help & Support. Otherwise, in sharing advanced:

Discovery of plug in the network
Open the files and printers sharing
Turn on the sharing section Public folder sharing
Plug the password protected sharing

A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, running on Windows 7 sharing files and printer as above will take care of this for you. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus/security with its own firewall component program, then you're fine.  With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN with an IP address range. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Obviously you would substitute your correct subnet. Refer to the safety of any third party program or the user forums for how to correctly configure its firewall. Do not run more than one firewall. DON'T STOP FIREWALLS; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

(B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This is done from the System applet in Control Panel, the computer name tab.

C. create the counterpart of the user accounts and passwords on all machines. You do not need to be logged into the same account on all machines and assigned to each user account passwords can be different; accounts/passwords just need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to boot directly to the desktop (a particular user account) for convenience, you can do this:

Start > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

D. Si one or more of the computers on your network are XP Pro or Media Center, turn off Simple file sharing (Folder Options > view tab).

E. create share as you wish. In Windows 7 I usually share the Desktop of the user and the Public directory.

F. you have the job of file sharing (and tested by exchanging a file between machines), if you want to share a printer connected locally to one of your computers, share of this machine. Then go to the printer mftr Web site. and download the latest drivers for the correct system. Install them on the target machines. The printer must be collected during the installation procedure. If this isn't the case, install the drivers and then use the Add Printer Wizard. In some cases, printers must be installed as local printers.

How install a printer connected locally to a different computer if the driver installation routine does not help:

Go to the computer to which the printer is connected. Note the name of the computer that you will get to the control panel > system > computer name. Now in the Panel, go to the printers. Find the printer in question, right-click, and then click Properties. Note the name of the share. Of course you must have already set up file sharing / print on all computers involved and share the printer.

Now, go to the remote computer to which you want to add the printer. Control Panel > printers > add printer

Click Add a local printer. Click on create a new port. The default value in the drop-down list box is Local Port. Don't change that. Click Next. A dialog box appears for you request that you enter a port name. Type in the \\FullComputername\SharedPrintername

ex: \\mycomputer\HPDJ (that's why you wrote the names of computer and printer in the first step)

Click Next. In the manufacturers list, select the correct printer manufacturer and the correct printer model in the Printers list. Under "do you want to use this printer as default printer select"Yes"(if you do!). and click Next. When asked to print a test page, select 'Yes', then finish. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • Windows XP + kyocera FS-720 + EPSON TM, network printing problem

    Hi all, I am coneccted a Kyocera FS - 720 to compurter 'A' using a USB port, the impression here is ok. I have a second computer 'B' with an Epson thermal paralel set as printer by default, 'A' is the hollow network the Kyocera printer share.

  • C6180A: Network printing problem series C6100

    Hello

    I pray that someone here can help with my network C6180A impression of questions, as I am at a loss to know what to do. I'm technical enough for a layman (not irritable) so able to fix my printer problems, I had to do several times in recent months. However, I am now in a complete deadlock as to what to do next.

    Implemented - laptop HP Pavilion (less than 1 year running Windows 8.1 64bits) connected by wired home network using Netgear HomePlugs, on which my C6180A All in One Photosmart printer is also connected by a Homeplug Netgear network around my house for others to use. The network software Netgear genius picks up the printer and it shows on the fine network. I can also access the IP address of the printer through my thin Firefox browser.

    Printer C6180A is (I think) about 8 years ago and has been well used with over 44 K printed pages! It worked well overall until recently. Minor problems have been solved in the past, which I was able to do very well.

    Until recently, the printer worked very well, so a few weeks ago (nothing has changed on it, or my laptop), it just started to stop printing and also started to enter spurious characters (always number 7) on the LED panel without doing me anything, as if someone was going to put in a fax number. It would show a string of 7 like this: '7777777777777777777' as a fax number alone.  Yet I did not or use the fax on it more. It's where I wondered about capacitors, as I mention below...

    However...

    It will not print many pages at once of all today - even if I get it print OK. It does not go offline (it used to do this), just print job gets stuck in the queue and must be deleted using HP Print & Scan doctor. Nothing else removes the queue now. And no other problems are reported with this utility. If they are, then I have Setup or the utility corrects.

    I did the following to get it fixed so far (with little success ongong):

    -updated and install printer via the HP website drivers (most recent is dated December 6, 2015)

    -uninstalled and reinstalled the driver software several times = sometimes a test page impressions, not always

    -restart the laptop and printer each time I do this to clear no matter what cache

    -Remove and add the device in Control Panel = got a few pages printed today this and nothing else then prints

    -check the IP address of the printer to make sure that his recognized on the network = all fine here (IP address added manually in the settings of the network on the printer a few months ago), although I can't make it here anymore as the "ok button" on the printer does not work now (minor in question not related to this in my opinion)

    -did a hard reset of the printer using the # and 6 to do this = it worked for a few pages then orders

    -printer is always / recognized by any software, driver or utility HP PSD when turned on to be detected to install

    -printer works fine when connected directly via a USB cable, but which is not what I want to do on a daily basis

    -have contacted Netgear in the recent past to make sure that my HomePlugs on my network worked very well, they were. If not, then the printer would not be detected by any software installation or fixing with HP PSD

    My last resort will be to check if the capacitors are down, I saw in other forums that this is a common problem after a while on these printers. Before making this "repair" I bought the capacitors, I wanted to check if there is anything else I missed that I can do to finally once and for all this problem of printing.

    Help on this would be so MUCH appreciated by any expert here, because I lost so much time, days in fact, try to resolve this issue as you can only imagine. I have to be able to print for my business. It is not an option to replace the printer currently.

    It worked fine until the last 3-4 weeks or more... Where my question detailed with what I did to fix it until now.

    Thanks in advance. ANIA

    Hello @AZS1,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP's Support. I understand that you have a problem with your C6180A. I would like to help.

    To be honest, you did some troubleshooting. To say that you are quite technical for a layman seems to be an understatement.

    I provided you with a link to solve network problems. If the problem persists then you might as well go ahead with the repair. The only other option would be to have fix the printer.

  • Windows 7 - network printer installation fails - lack of hpzpplhn.dll

    Using psc 1610 all-in-in-one as a network printer on a small home network wired workstations XP and Vista.  Worked fine until I replaced the Office XP with a Windows 7 one.  First I installed directly connected to the Win 7 desktop computer, using the original CD - worked well.  Move the cable to the router, but the network printer could not be identified.  So added the printer giving the IP address of the port, but could not print with it.

    The latest version of the AIO_CDB_NonNet_Full_Win_WW_130_141.exe software, but still could not print.  Have another printer Photosmart C4480, decide to pass.  Had excatly the same experience.

    Has begun to hunt the messages of error, and in the case where the Viewer, I found the message that the network printer could be brought after due to a missing driver - hpzpplhn.dll.

    Where can I find the hpzpplhn.dll?  Help please!

    Wow, impressive set of tests!  Well done!  I think you have proved that it is not your computer or your software with this test.

    Non standard routers can often have standard and odd firmware means of handling something other than a Windows PC, Internet connection.  In my view, that a new router you would solve problems.

    Looking for a router "Wi - Fi Certified".  I like Linksys because, well, they are inexpensive and they seem to work reliably for years.  The WRT120n or WRT160n are easy to find on sale.  Amazon is a good start.

  • Network Vista and XP - connection to the network printer problem

    I try to print to a network printer connected to a vista from a computer xp machine

    Two computers on a network
    Vista machine is connected through the ethernet card and has a connected printer
    XP machine is via wireless network

    Both machines have the same network name "mshome".
    Open ports on the firewall and also left Software Firewall

    When I print a job, I see it be wound on the info from the printer on both machines, but then, it is automatically deleted.

    I am able to access the hard disks from two computers

    The printer works this way, when you share a printer between XP and Vista where the printer is connected to Vista, XP will communicate with the printer and its drivers Vista.

    So as I suspected it was due from pilots, in your case XP will be offered 64 bit readers which it does not recognize

    If we rely on the printer connected to the Vista 64-bit operating system operating system 32-bit, we need to install the additional drivers (especially the XP must be with 32 bits, only 32 bits of the operating system will not show if it's 32-bit or 64-bit)

    So in this case, you must right click on the printer on Vista and go to the sharing tab, and then click additional drivers, it will be the operating system and Version to select and you will need to select Windows XP x 86 and install the drivers

    Now your Vista will be the 32-bit and 64-bit drivers installed. Now, when you share the printer, when the Contacts XP Vista, Vista has drivers and it will be able to share the printer correctly. Anish

  • 5150 Windows 8 network printing

    I have a new HP AIO running Windows 8.1 and want to print on a Deskjet 5150 connected to an XP machine (on the network).

    First of all - if I use Windows 'printer' Add dialog box shows the network printer in the flat view and then I select him and it purrs away for a while and said his "connection to HP 5150 on...» ", after much checking Windows Update, he said"no driver found ".

    In the same dialg box there is an option to install the driver manually, after which he wants one. INF file. So I point to various HP 5150 driver downloads Windows, Vista, full XP, XP 8.1 a minimum and he do not like one of them.

    Second - if I use the HP Windows 8.1 Deskjet 5150 driver and check the "my printer is already configured for use on the same network as my computer", after much soul search (and probably printer hunting), until appears a dialog box saying that 'no network device found ". Well we can't try too hard too stupid little more sees me the shared network printer-5150.

    Third, I put some time in the search on the internet and to this day, I found not anyone who tries to do. I don't want to put the 5150 on Win8 machine because of the desktop environment.

    Anyone?

  • Windows 7 HP990c printer problems

    Hello

    When I print multiple copies using XP I have no problem. In Windows 7, it prints one (1) copy when requested but 2 or 3 times the number of copies at the request of several copies.  The XP driver is certainly higher, because it allows me to choose ink 'light' setting, which is very useful to prevent bleeding through the paper.  I checked my settings of printer several times for example "pages per sheet" 1 and 'copy the number' 1 copy, etc.

    Everyone knows about similar issues and if so is there a cure?

    I have no confidence in the search for a cure and hope I can add a second hard drive with XP installed on my new computer Windows 7 does not allow me to install XP on my existing hard drive.

  • network printer problems

    Hello everyone.

    Can someone explain to me what is happening to our networks? Or a problem of Windows XP.

    The situation is, we have about 30 computers in the office connected to a network.

    Some computers have their own shared printer. And the rest will connect to those who have printers.

    When a computer with a printer just completely started, other computers can print to it. Long term, the next time that we print once again, we cannot be able to print to the printer, either we is more connected to this computer. What I do is to restart the Windows XP Home / Professional. When a computer is started again, we can connect to this computer. Sometimes I restart the guest PC, a computer with no printer. Then, we can connect to it.

    My problem is why this should be like that? Why we need to reboot the computers, or both in order to connect to the back and print again?

    Thanks for your response.

    Hi Wala Elhi,
