• Problem adding network printers; received this message error «Windows cannot connect to the printer or the name of the printer...» »

  Hello

  I have a Windows XP pro (Lenovo) that I recently ran the recovery and returned to certain configurations of 1.5 years. Now I can't add a network printer and get always the message error «Windows cannot connect to the printer or the name of the printer...» ». I ping the printer and all on my network can add these printers, it's just that a machine that fails to add network printers.

  I disabled the firewall, but were still unable to add the printer. Then I found some difficulties to register for a similar problem, but they were not useful... It really becomes a big headache, especially Windows restore does not work...

  I strongly suspect that 1.5 years, someone has renamed the printer.  Use Windows Explorer to navigate to the print server through My Network Places and see what it's callednow .  Otherwise, you could ask your network/system administrator.  You should know...

• Windows cannot connect to the printer. Access is denied.

  From: Steve

  Desperately, I try to print from my laptop Windows Vista Home Premium to a shared printer on my home wireless network.  The shared printer is connected to a XP Home machine.  This machine is wired (via a LAN cable) to the wireless router.  I can 'see' the printer that I want to use but trying to to connect to it. I get the error message "Windows cannot connect to the printer.  Access is denied. "I would be grateful for any help.

  Kind regards.

  -Steve

  From: Alan Morris [MSFT]

  Since the XP machine is HOME, I don't think that the permissions dialog box is accessible.

  Run the XP network sharing wizard again and see if it affects safety correctly on sharing.

  Is the printer you share one that has drivers provided with Windows XP?

  In the meantime we will at least get the printer works for you.

  Create a local printer on Windows Vista; Creation of a Local Port in the form \\XPMACHINE\Printsharename (this will send the files by using the redirector instead of the RPC service).  Install the Windows Vista driver for the device.

  You can print because print$ access is required for printer drivers.

• Add Printer__ Windows cannot connect to the printer. Access is denied

  Laptops have just loaded with Windows 7 Pro on my domain. Try to load printers to a print server. Print server running Windows 2003 R2.

  When I log in with a user profile, I go to devices and printers------click Add a printer-network printer select------I see a list of printers on the print server - choose the printer that I want to load------asked if I have confidence in this printer - click install drver------opens window files Coping - green bar moves as if it were loading drivers------then just before you get to the window asking if you want to make a default printer. open window that says - Connect Add Printer (X RED) for printer Windows cannot connect to the printer. Access is denied

  Changes to device settings to allow the user load the drivers. Check the security access (everyone has permissions) for this printer on the print server.

  Disable UAC control on the laptop. Group Policy has changed restrictions point and print.

  But this same user can log on to another computer on the network, which has loaded XP Pro and can load the same printers that are denied with windows 7 pro

  As a network administrator, I can log on to laptop computers and load A B and C printers.

  So I can log on as a user and then I can load A B and C printers, but as a user I want printer D I get the same message as above.

  Thank you in advace for your help

  This is the solution I received and seems to work.

  You have to go into the local group policy on Windows 7 computers, and not on the server.

  Go to the Group Policy:

• Windows cannot connect to the Internet using HTTP, HTTPS or FTP. __This is probably caused by settings of firewall on this computer. __

  I recently installed the version of Norton, after that I was unable to use the internet, I thought it was the Norton firewall settings. After having playing with her for 30 minutes, I gave up and uninstalled Norton. I have disabled the firewall, I have reset the default settings. Here is the message I get when I run a diagnostic. A crazy thing is that I can connect to internet when I connected to this same computer as a guess.

  Please help me!

  Windows cannot connect to the Internet using HTTP, HTTPS or FTP.
  This is probably caused by the settings of firewall on this computer.

  Check the settings of firewall for the HTTP port (80), HTTPS port (443) and FTP port (21).

  Hi rhonda9937,

  1. what browser you are using to connect to the internet?

  It is not recommended to keep Windows Firewall disabled on the computer.

  This would happen if the ports are not open in the Windows Firewall.

  I suggest that you open ports in Windows Firewall and check if it works.

• Many problems with Windows, Windows cannot communicate with the device or resource (primary DNS server)

  Many problems with Windows, Windows cannot communicate with the device or resource (primary DNS server), Internet Explorer browser does not.

  Hi Rachel,

  I understand that when you try to connect to the Internet, you get error "Windows cannot communicate with the device or resource (primary DNS server)", what other issues you are faced with Windows?

  • Using a cable or a wireless Internet connection?

  DNS (Domain Name System) translates the URL in IP (Internet Protocol) addresses (and vice versa). For example, if you type http://www.microsoft.com into the address bar in your web browser, your computer sends a request to a DNS server. The DNS server translates the URL to an IP address so that your computer can find the Microsoft web server.

  I suggest you to follow the methods in this article and check if it helps.

  Error message "WIndows cannot currently check the updates, because the service is not running, you may need to restart your computer.

  I am currently using windows 32 bit vist

  I rebooted, I changed the settings, I don't have a file called window update service in the service section to stop and start, I tried the fix programs, I'm out of ideas and I need help!

  Suggestions?

  Hello

  1. have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

  2. which antivirus app do you use?

  I suggest you try these methods and check.

  Method 1:

  Anti-virus software may conflict with Windows Update. You can temporary disable them and check the issue.

  Disable the antivirus software
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software
  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 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:
  How to reset the Windows Update components?
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971058
  Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/back-up-the-registry

  Method 3: If the methods above do not help, I suggest you delete the edb.log file and check if that helps.

  Follow these steps:

  a. click the Start button, click computer.

  b. now, go to this site: C:\windows\softwaredistribution\datastore\logs\edb.log
  Where 'C' is the drive of operating system
  c. delete the log file, and then restart the computer and check the issue.
