• Is there a way to block my roommates to use my MX922 wireless printer?

  I want to limit who has access to my wireless printer. I tried to do by disabling sharing home on my Mac, but still my roommates are able to print from my MX922 printer. Does anyone know how to block others?

  Hello.

  The printer is not able to restrict the access of some users.  Any user who can connect to the same local network as the printer will be able to install the device to his computer.

  The only alternative to avoid this would be to disable the LAN wireless to the printer and use the printer with a direct USB connection to your PC.

• laptop to wireless printer connectivity

  I have a locked box truck in which I want to set up a wireless network between my laptop and a wireless printer. My laptop has internet connectivity via an aircard card. A basic router will solve my problem? There is no modem, only the laptop and printer wireless, in which I want to connect wireless. Any help appreciated.

  Thank you

  You don't need a router for that.

  Without a router, you can create a wireless ad - hoc between the laptop and the printer.  See, for example, http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c00205926

  Many successes of Google more

  The security problem is that XP does support (easily hacked) WEP encryption in wireless ad-hoc mode. On the other hand, nobody's going very far from trying to connect to your printer. Just make sure you don't leave the laptop to active ad hoc wireless network when you are not printing.

  If you get an inexpensive wireless router, you can connect the laptop to the router by an Ethernet cable or wireless.  In this configuration, you will be able to use wireless more secure (WPA or WPA2) security that supports the link (computer or printer).

  In both cases, do not install (or disable) sharing files and printers for Microsoft Networks in the properties of the network card on the laptop.

  Of course, the three devices, only the laptop is likely to be able to operate without available 110vac, you will need to buy some sort of power supply to convert the truck 12VCC power.  Make sure that you add the requirements of power of the appliances that you will probably use in order to get a converter with a sufficient capacity.  I don't have any specific recommendations, but I don't tell you want it a little and do not go for the cheaper product.

• set up a wireless printer on my laptop

  Can I set up a wireless network from the printer to my laptop running windows XP media center edition service pack 3 which is wireless connected to the internet via my desk top which is connected to the internet?

  1. what version of Windows, including the service pack is on the desk? Windows xp edition family sp 3. HOM

  2. What is the brand and model of your printer? Canon office while a pixma mx310

  3. What is the brand and model of your router (or what box which is connected to the desktop computer)? Westell VersaLink 327W gateway

  4. how and what is connected to the printer? USB cable to the desktop

  Ok.  You can 'share' the Canon printer, which means that you will be able to print to it from your laptop when your laptop is connected wireless to your router.

  This is called 'file and printer sharing' and here are some basic tips on setting up, courtesy of the MVP Malke (you have already completed part A, then start with the part B). Read the part in the first paragraph I put in bold.  If you do not understand the last paragraph on sharing the printer, read one or more of the articles from Google search.

  You can also watch all or part of the first 5 links in this Google search: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=xp+sharing+printer

  If you want to share your cannon sweep feature, you will have to read the manual to see if it is possible and (b) how to put in place.  He usually just is to use the Canon CD to install the printer and its software required on your laptop the installer knows that the Canon is a shared network resource.

  The best and simplest is to buy a wireless router. In this way you
  get Internet connectivity both machines and the added benefit of some
  more security between you and the Internet. Next, you set up your wireless network
  network in any security, and then you configure file/printer sharing. Below you will find
  information on the implementation of a router and also in networking. Looks like
  long but don't be intimidated. Setting up a router and local area network
  sharing between two computers takes about 15 minutes.

  Configuration of the router.

  Setting up a router is simple enough. Normally, you run the CD that came with
  the router and follow the instructions. If you're running Vista may be the
  CD that came with the router does not work; I do not know this. But you can set
  the router without the CD. Note that if you have Internet, cable for the
  connection you just put the router to DHCP (or there may even be a)
  cable choice to choose). If you have DSL Internet, you generally
  Select PPoe and enter the username and password you chose during
  initially setting up the DSL connection. So:

  1. turn off the power to your cable modem.
  2 set a course of ethernet cat5e cable (usually supplied with the router)
  the port of the router to port Internet/WAN modem ethernet cable.
  3. connect the CAT5e cable from your computer's network card ethernet cable
  one of the ports on the router. If you do not have an ethernet cable
  (because you were using USB), you will need to go to the store and buy a.
  4. turn on the cable modem. After that all the lights are on, turn on the router.

  To configure the router:

  Have a computer connected to the router with an ethernet cable. Examples
  given are for a Linksys router. Check the manual for your router or router
  site Web de MFTR. for the parameters by default if you don't have a Linksys. Open a
  browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox and in the address bar type:

  http://192.168.1.1 [Enter] (this is by default the router address IP, who)
  varies from router to router then check your manual)

  This will bring you to the login screen of the router. The default username is left
  Blank and the Linksys default password is "admin" without the quotes. Come in
  This information. You are now in the configuration of the router utility. Your
  utility of configuration may be slightly different from mine.

  Click the Administration link at the top of the page. Enter your new
  password. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE. Enter it again
  password to confirm and click Save settings at the bottom of
  the page. The router will reboot and show you the box of connection again.
  Do not fill in the user name and put it in your new password to return in the
  configuration utility.

  Now, click on the link wireless at the top of the page. Change the wireless
  Network name (SSID) default to something you will recognize. I have
  suggest that my clients do not use their surname as the SSID. For example,.
  You may want your "CastleAnthrax" wireless network name or the
  as. ;-)

  Click on save settings and when you get the prompt that your changes have been
  successfully, click the wireless security link which is just next to the
  Wireless settings link base (where you changed your SSID). If you have a
  Newish computer, you will be able to affect the Security Mode
  WPA2-Personal. Do this and enter a password. The password is what you
  come on all the computers that are allowed to connect to the radio
  network. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE.

  At this point, your router is set up and if the computer that you are using
  to configure the router normally goes for a wireless connection, unplug
  the ethernet cable and wireless of the computer should see your new
  network. Enter the password you created to join the network and launch
  Surf.

  B. file/printer sharing of

  Excellent, comprehensive, but easy to understand article on file/printer
  Sharing in Vista. Contains information about sharing printers and files
  and folders:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx

  For XP, start by running the network on all machines (see Setup Wizard
  caveat in section A below).

  Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused
  (1) a misconfigured firewall or neglected (including a stateful firewall
  Firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently running two firewall such as the
  Built-in firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall; and/or (3) not having not
  accounts of the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup; (4) try
  to create actions where the operating system is not.

  A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow the local area network (LAN)
  traffic as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, it means which allows file / print
  Sharing on the Exceptions tab normally run the Network Setup Wizard on
  XP will take care of this for these machines. The only "witch hunt" is that this
  lights on the XPSP2 Windows Firewall. If you are not running a
  third-party firewall or have an Internet Worm antivirus «»
  Protection' (like Norton 2006/07) which acts as a firewall, then you are
  fine. With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN
  with a range of IP addresses. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Of course, you
  substitute your correct subnet. Do not run more than one firewall. DO
  NOT DISABLE THE FIREWALL; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

  (B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This
  is 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 have
  must be connected to the same account on all machines and passwords
  assigned to each user account may 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 start directly
  on the desktop (a particular user account) for convenience, you
  to do this. The instructions on this link work for XP and Vista:

  Configure Windows to login automatically (MVP Ramesh) -.
  http://WindowsXP.MVPs.org/Autologon.htm

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

  E. create share as you wish. XP Home does not home users sharing
  directories or files of program, but you can share folders inside those
  directories. A better choice is to simply use the Shared Documents folder.
  See the first link above for more information on Vista sharing.

  F. you have the job of file sharing (and tested by exchanging a)
  files between machines), if you want to share a printer connected
  locally to one of your computers, share it to this machine. Then go
  for the mftr printer 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 is not

• Problem to a file/printer sharing network.

  Hello

  I want to do a network to share files, printer and internet. I have already shared the internet by all connection to the access point devices through wireless and connecting the access point to the cable modem, but I can't share any file or folder.

  I tried many things to create a small network of win xp, but I failed.

  I have a wireless access point Dap1150 D-Link wireless modem 1 billion for the ADSL2 +, a PC (win xp) with a normal network adapter and an external wireless LAN adapter + a laptop (win 7) which has two cards and support network wi - fi.

  Please help I have searched a lot but I couldn't find anything useful.

  Assuming that the "billion for ADSL2 wireless modem + ' is a router, and it is configured as one.

  Since you have a Windows 7 computer too, the network must be configured take into consideration.

  The following looks like a long history (it's only 600 words). I know not what is knowledge of the user, and exactly what has been done already. The info go through the motions of the configuration and verify most of the common aspects of the LAN Windows OS features '.

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

  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.

  http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_name.jpg

  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.html#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 you end up with the 3rd party software uninstalled or disabled, make sure that Windows native firewall is active .

Any ideas, please?

  Do you mean that you HAVE downloaded the driver from the Brother website or ask you if you have TO download the driver?

  Yes, you need to download the driver (because I assume that you don't have a CD for the Netbook player and so cannot use the CD that came with your printer).

  http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/BSC/public/us/us/en/DLF/DLF/000000/004400/dlf004455.html?reg=us&c=us&lang=en&prod=mfcj265w_all&type2=1&OS=7&flang=8&dlid=dlf004455

  This printer is responsible for integrated wireless network, so it is unclear what you mean when you write that you set up wireless "for a desktop Dell Windows 7 operating."  Usually, we use a network printer is NOT connect directly to a computer, but to allow the printer to connect directly to the network, either through an Ethernet cable to the router, or a wireless connection to the router.

  If your printer works on the Windows 7 computer WITHOUT being connected using a USB cable, you have things correctly.  And, if the printer is not directly connected to the Win 7 computer, there is no need to configure sharing the printer on this computer, and you should not do.  'Sharing' in the sense of network Windows means sharing a resource that "belongs" to a computer, such as files on the hard disk of the computer, or a printer attached to the computer via USB or parallel port.

  Just download the software package for the Netbook and follow the instructions on the download page, linked above.

• In a mixed network wireless printer

  I just bought a HP Photosmart 5510 printer and installed fine on my wireless network.

  My wireless router is configured to give a permanent IP address to the printer using DHCP (reserved address to the mac address of the printer). My wireless router using NAT and it is connected to an ethernet switch on my local network. Thus, every computer/device connected to my wireless router can find and use the printer very well BUT any computer/device connected to my local network can see internal IP address of the wireless router.

  I'm trying to configure the port forwarding on my wireless router so that all traffic to the printer is routed correctly and on computers on my local network, it appears that the wireless router is the printer. I found a few references to port numbers and I tried a few combinations without success. Can someone provide me with a complete list of UDP and TCP ports that uses the wireless printer so that I can configure my wireless router port forwarding?

  I also tried to disable NAT on my wireless router, but that no longer works. I don't see all the parameters more usable on my wireless router that would allow me to expose the printer to my local network.

  If there is any other way I can get on my wired network (LAN) computers to access my printer on my wireless network (WLAN) please let me know.

  Thank you.

  Miguel.

  It seems that nobody knows the answer to my question, so I guess that the solution is to resume this printer and get a printer ethernet instead. In this way, it can be shared on the network cable and accessible also to connected wireless devices. I just got the Officejet 6500 that has ethernet and wireless. It works very well.

  Thank you.

• Cannot see function analysis using printer sharing on Snow Leopard USB connection

  I have two iMacs connected via ethernet to a wired ethernet network cable / wireless. Previously, my PhotoSmart C7280 is connected wireless network, and I was able to scan and print from any computer using software built into Snow Leopard. Scanning and printing has been a bit flaky lately due to wireless network problems, so I just moved the all-in-one at one of the iMac, it connected via USB and enabled printer sharing. I can now print and scan from the iMac to which it is connected, but when I access it from another iMac, all I can do is printed. For example, if I open Preferences system and then select Print & Fax, I can add the printer to the list of printers OK, but when I select the PhotoSmart from the list, I don't see paws print and scan that appeared at the top of the pane that results. I can access only the features of the printer. I have already reset the printing system and start again, but still no scanning. Any ideas?

  Well Yes, that's the way it works.  It is a sharing of print - only.  This configuration will not share the scanner.

• Printer sharing via LAN - EPSON XP-335

  Hello

  We use 3 Macs connected via LAN (Ethernet, we do not use Wi - Fi).

  I have connected an EPSON XP-335 via USB to Mac #1, and it prints fine.

  On all Macs, I installed the software EPSON printing and active "Sharing printers", via preferences > sharing.

  but when I try to print from Mac #2 or #3 I get this message "not connected":

  

  What should I do?

  Thank you very much.

  Hi coxorange,

  Please use the Apple Support communities for help. From your post, I understand that you are unable to access the printer that is connected to one of your iMac, others in the House. I know it's nice to be able to print from all of your devices, so I'm happy to help you to provide advice for this.

  From the information you provided, it seems that there is some confusion about the way the printer is shared on your devices. In order to have a shared printer, you must only share from the computer to which it is connected. From there, you can connect to this printer with other computers. Perform these steps on the iMac to which it is attached:

  How to share a printer:

  1. Open sharing preferences if it is not already open (choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Sharing), then check the box print sharing.

  2. Under printers, select the printer you want to share.

     When you share a printer, all users on your network ("everyone") can use by default. If you want to restrict access to specific people, go to steps 3 and 4.

  3. Click on the button Add at the bottom of the users list, and then do one of the following:

     • Select a user in users and groups, that includes all your Mac users.

     • Select a user from the network or users groups network, which includes everyone on your network.

     • Select a person in your contacts. Create a password for the person, then click on create an account.

  4. When you add people to the list of users, access to the shared printer is reset to no access for the users of your network ("everyone"). To provide access to everyone again, click the triangles, then choose can print.

  Source: OS X El Capitan: share your printer

  Once the printer is shared, you'll want to implement on your other computers. Check out the second section of this article, titled "Add a Wi - Fi or network printer":
