Windows XP cannot print on shared printer Windows 7

I've recently updated my Windows XP computer to Windows 7.  This computer has acted as a print server for the other 4 computers in the House, all XP sp3.  However, now that I updated to Win7 print server and installed the 64-bit drivers, none of the XP computers can print to the printer (Canon i850).

The problem seems to be that the Windows 7 machine installed 64-bit drivers to be able to print to the printer, and these are unusable by Windows XP machines.  On the Win7 computer, I try too install the x 86 drivers (under the properties of the printer-> sharing tab) so that Windows XP 32-bit machines can print, but of course the Win7 machine won't let me because it is not a 32 bit OS.  I was hoping that if I did my Windows XP machines for the printer itself on the network, they would automatically install the required printer drivers but no dice.  I tried to manually install the 32-bit drivers on the Windows XP computers directly, and it gives me an error.  Simply, I can't believe I'm the only one facing this problem (machine Win7 acting as a print server on a workgroup with Windows XP machines), but I can't seem to find a solution to this problem.

Thank you!

The print driver names must match.  You will need to find a 64-bit driver that uses the same name that the 32 bit driver XP or install the 32-bit driver for Windows 7 on x 64 machine.  Because the files do not appear in the flat file on the 32-bit DVD format, you will need to ntprint of 32-bit Windows 7 files.

If the pilots names then it is possible that coork has a better solution.

  • I can see other computers on a network of peer to peer windows XP but cannot access their shared files and the shared printer.

    I can see other computers on a network of peer to peer windows XP but cannot access their shared files and the shared printer. The computers are connected by a switch, fixed IP addresses that are correctly configured and point to a DNS server outside the network. When I try to open the icon for one of the computers, he asked for credentials. I try to type the user name for the computer that is sharing the resource and the password. It is the user account whose computer is loged on and belongs to the Administrators group. for example: user name (Computer1\username) password (password). It does not work. The Windows Firewall is disabled on all computers. It worked well there 2 days. I can't find anything wrong with the network settings. Does anyone have a solution? Thank you.

    If the portion of the machine has activated - Simple file sharing (i.e. it is XP Home or it is XP Pro with Simple (default) file sharing) - while all file sharing connections authenticate as user 'guest '.  It will not matter what username / password you provide, it will attempt to authenticate as 'guest '.  If the guest user has received a password or the guest account is not active, you will experience the symptoms you describe.

    If the serving machine running XP Pro and Simple file sharing is disabled, then you should be able to connect by specifying the user as computer\user and the password to connect.  To turn off Simple file sharing:

  • Cannot print on a Brother printer after Windows Update

    We share the same brother MFC-8660DN on a network (Win XP x 4 & Win 2008 Server x 1), everything was fine until yesterday (16/09/10). 2 XP computers cannot print (Status: printing error) just after the recent update of windows installation (windows auto update has been set for each week). When we tried to print to the brother printer, he would be stuck in queue for a minute and a bubble pop up "document cannot be printed." 2 computers work fine otherwise. Everything works normoally and can be printed to another printer like Canon. (PS: I tried to uninstall and reinstall the brother printer driver, but no luck the question of setting)

    On the other hand, the other 2 XP did not have an update, and so they can't always print on the Brother printer. Also, Win 2008 server doing a windows update auto but print very well so.

    Therefore, I believe that the update of windows XP must have something to do with the printing error. Is there a fix or update? Alternatively, we can uninstall the recent windows update (only one?) to solve this problem? I'm not sophisticated OS, do not know what could be uninstalled. Help, please!

    I received a call from a client 2010-Sep-16 that they could no longer print
    on a network printer from any workstation.

    Workstations have Vista Business 32 and have been updated morning of September 16.

    The server is Server2003 & printing it still worked well.

    Printers using IP ports very well for more than 2 years.
    Fix was to use instead of the intellectual property & create ports with the full share name.

    The IP address of the printer had not changed AND
    I couldn't always navigate with IE8 (using IP address)
    printer see printer configuration data

    Workstations are Server 2003 domain

    This trick of name full-fledged was how I had to put in place
    Vista Home Premium workstations
    to use network printers in home networks.

    Why Vista Business "updated" settings for Home Premium?
    Is this a permanent 'update '?

    Why no matter what version of VISTA do this?
    Windows 7 has the same problem?

    With Vista Business 32 (short-term)? solution was to change the port to a local port with full sharing of the printer name

  • OfficeJet 6500 E709n: Cannot print after upgrading Windows 10

    Cannot print. "Doctor print" said there is a software problem.

    Uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled the software complete... twice.

    Capable of printing in color "internal" wireless test page but cannot print a doc and it does not show in the Panel "see what's printing.

    Uninstalled all printers if none showed, in the Panel. When the software has been reinstalled, it showed two Officejet 6500 s on the control panel.

    I tried the post install 'Print sample' with each check printer default and no work.

    Seems that the problem started when I "upgraded" to the new Windows 10.

    Hi Kili2,

    Try to install your printer via "Open network" - via the window icon or desktop to explore - and choose 'Add devices and printers' (you may need to click the arrow next to the question mark for the top menu show).
    Let the wizard to search for awhile, selcect your printing device, and click 'next'.

    After you follow these steps, search for the new installed printer (the name is shown in network for printer and scanner) in "Printers and devices" in the control panel.
    Use this printer as the default printer and you should be able to print over the network cable or wireless.

    Cannot print on C6280 wireless after the upgrade to Windows 10. Have removed the device, but try to re install the printer when is not found. Can print if I connect USB. Tried to reload the driver using HP Support software help, but when he arrives at the end of the download fails.

    Hi @Ron9871,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I see that you are unable to get your printer HP Photosmart C6280 wireless printing. I'd be happy to help you and don't forget to come back to this thread and check "Accept as Solution", if I have successfully helped solve you the problem. If you want to say 'Thank you' to my effort to help, click on the "thumbs up" to give me a Kudos.

    I would like to try the steps in this guide, "offline" Status Message printer (Windows 10).

    If the problem persists, you may encounter an IP address conflict. It's a good idea to assign the printer a static IP address outside your DHCP range. For example, some routers default DHCP is located between 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.200. So, I would use 192.168.0.232.

    • Print a Page of Network Configuration menu of the printer front panel. Note: the IPV4 IP.
    • Type the IP address in the browser to bring up the SAP.
    • Choose the network tab, then wireless on the left side, and then select the IPv4 tab.
    • Select Manual IP.
    • Enter your IP address manual (192.168.0.232)
    • Enter 255.255.255.0 for the subnet mask, except if it is different.
    • Enter the IP address of your router that sits on the Network Configuration Page) for the default gateway.
    • Please, click on manual DNS server. For the preferred DNS Server Manual please enter 8.8.8.8 and the Alternate DNS Server Manual, please enter 8.8.4.4.
    • Click on apply.

    Please restart the router, the printer and the computer in this sequence.

    If you're still having problems, please download and run the print and Scan doctor, it will be probably diagnose and fix the problem you are experiencing.

    What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (she print or scan, error messages)

    You can try to change your WSD printer port by a Standard TCP/IP port.

    To do this, you will need your current IP address printers.  The Network Setup page shows the parameters of network for the product. To print this page; Press the button of network () on the control panel of the product.

    It does not resemble drivers for the printer installed correctly.

    Run all the updates of Windows on the computer.

    I would say to uninstall the printer software. Unlock the hidden administrator account, then install the printer on this account:

    Note: Do not connect the USB cable until you are prompted during the installation.
    Go to your Start menu and in the box "search programs and files", type CMD.
    CMD will fill as an option to search above, just right-click on it and "run as Administrator".
    Once opens in CMD (command prompt), type net user administrator / Active: Yes and press ENTER.
    Then, close CMD and then restart your computer.
    When your computer is on the newspaper in the new account which should show. It will be called Administrator and will not have a password on it.
    If your computer automatically connects to your account after reboot than to go to your Start menu, click the arrow next to 'shutdown' and choose 'change user '. Now log on to the administrator account, that we have just released.
    Under the administrator account, install the printer software.
    Test the printer.
    To disable the Admin account start at step 1 and type net user administrator / active: No..

    Test the printer.

    Please let me know the result and if there is anything else I can help you. Thank you.

  • HP Laserjet 4 MP: HP Laserjet 4 MP - just switched to Windows 10 - cannot print

    Hi - I used my Laserjet without any problems on Windows 7 but cannot print now that I went to 10 Windows.   The Laserjet 4 MP is listed on the page of the driver for Windows 10 HP, but the directions for upgrading the driver doesn't seem to work or there is something that I'm not enter.

    In "Devices and printers", my printer shows already that it is selected with the green check mark.  When I go to "Add a printer", it does not find the printer, even when you use the option 'my printer's oldest  So I went the next step, try using the IP address. Print my printer Config pages to try to find the ip address/port, but nothing seems to match them.

    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

    I went through all the steps of the Windows Update, found on pilots of widows 10 for Laserjet page mentioned above, but this time, instead of choosing the LPT 1 port, I chose the USB virtual port (I remembered reading on that port for an alternative online), and it worked!  (LPT 1 was probably active before a few years ago, I bought a USB connector for the cable to the printer)

  • Cannot print to a printer wireless HP using Windows 7 computer

    I just purchased and installed a wireless HP 8630 computer and installed on a desktop computer connected to my router as a network printer.  The computer recognizes the printer, like the network, but the computer cannot print to it.  I can ping the printer from the computer and you can see it as a device connected to the network web interface.  When I run HP diagnostics, it allows to print a test page and tells me that all is well.  When I try to print from Word, Outlook, web browser, or anything else the computer it just does not print.  I get no prompt or anything else.  It just says: 0 jobs on hold, then disappears.   I can print from a computer using Windows XP on the network.  I can also print from my ipad with airprint.  I can't just simply print to the Windows 7 computer.  I can copy and same scan, but can't print.

    I read that all the prior tries to fix the problem, but it remains pursists.   Windows 7 computer is 64-bit.  Netgear router N.  Everything is updated.    Any help is appreciated.

    The solution to my problem was install the 8630 driver and software, then driver update for the printer instead of the 8630 8600 driver.

    Hi there @DFK43 , welcome to the Forums!

    I saw your post and I would like to offer my suggestion for the problem you are having with printing photos in color or black and white.

    First of all, to perform all the updates of Windows, select those optional too:

    Windows Update - ' do I need to check the updates?

    Try printing now, if the problem persists, try:

    1. uninstalling the printer software

    2. restart your PC

    3. Reinstall in 2 ways:

    (a) HP printer install wizard for Windows

    (b) HP Officejet Full Feature software and driver
