I have an hp PSC 750 connected to an XP machine. I am trying to print via wireless connection from my Vista machine. I have installed the printer on Vista, I have it selected as the default printer and it's status is Ready but when I print to it nothing happens, no error message or anything. This setup worked previously XP-XP, I replaced the remote XP machine with a new Vista machine.
View 4 RepliesI have a home network set up with one computer serving as the Server for the house, it is running Vista Ultimate x64. All the printers are connected to that computer and are shared. The server also contains all of our movies and music for the house. I have several computers connected to it ranging from Vista Home Premium x86 to Vista Ultimate x64. Now for some reason I am only able to print to the printer when I am logged in on an account with the exact name and password as the one that I made on the server. Any other account I just get an error in the printer queue. So I figured I just needed to set up everyone with a user name and password on the server. I did that and the same thing is happening. I've checked the security tab on the printer and set Everyone to have full control over the printer. Printer sharing is enabled on the server and I'm adding the printer to the other computers via local port "\SERVERColour Laser". So I have no idea what else it could be. I'm also installing both x86 and x64 drivers on the server and the proper ones on the client computers.
So to recap. I have:
Server - Windows Vista Ultimate x64
Printer 1 - HP Laser CP1215
Printer 2 - HP Deskjet 5550
Computer 1 - Windows Vista Ultimate x64
Computer 2 - Windows Vista Ultimate x86
Computer 3 - Windows Vista Home Premium x86
Computer 4 - Windows Vista Home Premium x86
Each computer has one common user name and password, "Tyler", I can successfully print from any computer while on that account. However I am unsuccessful in printing from any other account. I am about to lose some hair over this.
Problem:
1) Extremely slow shared printer response
2) application nonresponsive while printing
Network Topography:
1 Vista Home Premium 32 PC
1 Vista Home Premium 64 PC
Cisco SD2008 Switch
1 HP 4050 Laserjet (Parallel connected to Vista 32 Machine above)
Configuration of Printer:
Connected via parallel to Vista 32 machine
Printer is configured for sharing and is installed on both machines
test pages print successfully from both machines
Additional notes:
During printer setup on the Vista 32 machine, I attempted to install
additional 64x drivers, but could not locate them, so I skipped this step.
During printer setup on the Vista 64 machine, the shared printers were
identified successfully, and I added the network printer. I was not asked to
install drivers the way I have in the past when adding a local printer.
Printing using the shared printer on the local machine Vista 32 performs
with normal speeds. Printing from the network computer Vista 64 using the
shared printer installed on Vista 32 is extremely slow. Even typing in print
job changes in the print dialog window takes 30 seconds or so for each key
stroke to register a response onscreen.
Vista Home premuim. Network settings correct on both PCs. From Vista I can ping the XP by IP address and by Computer name. From Vista I can map a drive on the XP using either IP or computer name. However In Network XP PC name is present but double-click says no access.Shared printer on XP is not found by Vista Add Printer. XP can see Vista in Network Places and double-click shows shared folders.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a Vista computer and an XP computer. Both are on a domain. I have an HP Laserjet 1018 printer attached and installed locally on the Vista computer. The printer is shared and is added to the XP computer. When printing from XP to the laserjet printer on Vista it acts like it goes..no errors but nothing comes out. However, if you restart the print spooler then the jobs start printing. The printer works fine when printing from the Vista machine but not when you try to print from other computers on the network. Anyone know how to resolve this without having to restart the print spooler all the time? Drivers have been reinstalled and that does not help.I also tried removing the printer. Re-adding it. Sharing it again and re-adding it to other hosts on the network....same issue.

I've got 2 Vista laptops. Both on Home Premium. One of them is sharing a usb Lexmark 8300 printer. The other one can see the shared resources and connect to that printer but it can't print. No error messages whatsoever. After printing a test page I can see number 1 next to the printer status but when I double click the printer the print job is not there. Both the computers are in the same workgroup. Both have Printer Sharing enabled in Network and Sharing Center. On the computer that's sharing the printer the Everyone group was given full access. All paper set to A4 on both of them.

Background before the question: I work for an architecture firm and are the test subjects to upgrading because we are the graphics department with all the programs that hog memory and have all the 64-bit programs... Adobe Photoshop CS4, 3DS Max 2009 and Revit 2008. I recently upgraded my machine to Vista Business x64 and all my co-workers except for one other (who also upgraded with me to Vista Business x64) are all on XP x86 machines.
we have problems with the network printers that are shared on a server machine. Issue is, everyone can print all day til we print out something. (Yes, are machine recognize the printers... it is not a I can't see them or are they shared on the server). After it stops everyone, we can keep on printing ourselves. The only way to fix it is to reset the server machine to recognize the printer again.Is there any local fix from the take over from happening... or is it on the server machine? Actually, what is the fix? Currently are work around is to jump on a computer that hasn't been used by anyone for years (XP x86) to print.
I have an XP Pro PC on my home network and am trying to connect to a Lexmark X215 printer that is shared off of the XP Pro machine. I am connecting with a new Vista Home Premium Dell XPS M1530 laptop. The rest of the network is working fine - shared files, folders, access to the Internet, etc.
The message I get when I try to connect is that Windows cannot connect to the printer.
My situation is I have a home network with one desktop running XP Home, attached to a wireless router by CAT5 cable and a local Epson printer. The Epson printer was shared as a network printer. I have another NEC notebook, which accessing the network very fine through the WiFi, and can print properly. I just purchased a new Sony notebook that run Vista Business. I set up the network as follows :
Workgroup : checked and was the same as my desktop
Network : Private
Printer sharing : On
File sharing : On
I can see my desktop in the network map. The notebook can browse the internet by using IE without any problem. However, I cannot add the network printer. I choose "Add new printer", and choose "add new network printer", the result is no network printer found. I also try to add new local printer, and build a new port, and key in my shared printer location "\Zeeman_DesktopeemanEpson", but got the response that the port is not correct.
I have found hundreds of threads on not being able to install a printer on an XP to a Vista machine, but not one about my problem. Home pear to pear workgroup network. 1 Vista Ultimate 64 bit, 2 XP Pro's, 2 XP Home. Lexmark Z600 printer hung off of the Vista PC. Working fine. Trying to use this Lexmark printer as the main printer for one of the XP Home PC's. From the XP Home PC can see the Vista share printer.
When installing, told that this is not the correct print driver & does not install. Solution 1 - Tried installing the standard XP 32 bit driver for this printer on the Vista PC so that the XP machine can download that driver during shared install. Vista says this tyep driver is not correct and will not allow me to install it for network sharing.............
I am running Windows Vista on my laptop and Windows XP on my home computer to which the shared printers are connected. When attempting to connect to shared printer from my laptop, I get the following error "Windows cannot connect. Access is denied" What am I doing wrong?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI've had a problem with Vista 32bit for quite a while now. This happened before and after Sp1. Basically, if I connect to a remote share and attempt to copy a file to the pc/server, i'll get a bluescreen after a few seconds. I can't remember the exact file referenced in the crash (I can recreate it and get it). This also happens when I attempt to connect to a shared printer. SP1 didn't make a difference. Anyone have any ideas or heard of similar vista behavior?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI use Vista Home Premium. I have a network that connects one computer by cable and 3 computer by wireless. I also have a LaserJet 4 Plus. It has an adapter card that is connected to the router/modem by cable. I have gone thru the 'Add Printer' procedure several times. It 'finds' a TCP/IP 'generic adapter card and, after awhile, a list of printers is displayed. I select mine. Give it a shared name and click on 'print test page.' Nothing happens. I used to have a Netgear modem but switch to AT&T wireless router. I am unable to find a list of attached devices and their IP address.

View 4 Replies View RelatedMy printer is a Lexmark - (x-8350) All in One ---- Driver compatible with Vista is installed. The print is so small I need a magnifying glass to read it. I have attempted what adjustments I could make and nothing happens. I have contacted Lexmark and the help they provided me was minimal. I have never had this problem before and all of it sudden it pops up. I have new cartridges installed, however, not only is the print tiny, but the print is extremely light. I just kind of hate to have to go out and get a new printer without knowing if something can be to done to solve this problem.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'll be helping a neighbor set up a new Dell with Vista Home Premium. She bought a Canon all-in-one MP610 printer with lots of application software on the CD MP Navigator, Easy-PhotoPrint, ScanSoft OmniPage SE, Easy-WebPrint, and ArcSoft PhotoStudio. I know i need to install the OCR software, but wonder about the rest. Do I need the MP Navigator for this printer to work? Will the Navigator or PhotoPrint software hijack any settings? Also, when I checked online, I found a new driver for Easy-PhotoPrint that's dated 10/08. If I install that driver after a full CD install for the printer, do I need to uninstall the older PhotoPrint utility first? I found general applications info on Canon's site. If there is a better source that can help me decide whether these utilities are needed.

View 8 Replies View RelatedHere is a new one for you all. Up until 2 days ago I was running a Epson CX9400Fax all-in-one with Vista Home Premium on a Dimension E520. I had a paper jam and after clearing it the system seemed to be out of sync with the takeup roll. The paper, on a simple print job, would would roll halfway through and then show a paper jam. I assumed the jam had thrown the timing out. Since it's cheaper to buy a new printer than attempt to have it repaired. I had a new Epson NX415 delivered this morning, set it up and lo and behold it's doing the same thing as the printer I replaced. This shouldn't be a problem with the two different printers. On the other hand, is there anything in the O/S that could be causing this? I'm picking up a replacement printer tomorrow and if the issue still persists, it can only be something in the O/S. Have any problems cropped up after the last updates? I'll keep you posted after I try out another printer.

I can print from the desktop and have downloaded the proper drivers to the PC.
I have an Epson Stylus c84 Inkjet that, according to the Epson support page, should already have drivers in Vista (I should just be able to plug in the printer, Vista will see it and load the appropriate driver, etc). However, Vista cannot find the correct driver and asks for the original driver CD, to which I try anyway and it still does not work. I contacted Epson who suggested I try and use the Add Printer feature. However, upon trying this, an error came up as soon as I pressed the icon: "Windows Cannot Open Add Printer. Operation could not be completed (error 0x000000c1)." I did not receive the original install disc from eMachines, and they have been aggravating when attempting to get service from them.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am running Vista Home Premium on my laptop. I have a Brother wifi printer (although it connects to the router with a wire). I have 2 desktops and my laptop that use the printer. The two desktops use the printer without a problem. My laptop only works during the period after I add the network printer. When I reboot, it will seem to print to the printer but it just gets stored in the printer queue and won't print it.
Telling the print queue to try again doesn't do anything. If I delete the printer from my laptop and add it again as a new printer, it works great until the next reboot. I have no other printers in my printer list, only the Brother. None of the desktops (one Vista Home Premium, one XP) have this problem.
