Install Printer Driver FOR Sharing Printer?
Jun 10, 2008I have a Vista Desktop that has a wireless router. I have shared a printer, but I would like my Mac laptop to be able to print to it. Do I install the printer driver on the Mac or on the Vista machine? If I install on the Vista machine, is there a special installer? The printer is an HP DeskJet 2445.

Jun 9, 2008I have coursework due in tomorrow and i havent used my printer in a while. I've installed a new OS since i've last used it, and assumed it wasn't working because I hadn't installed the software from the CD it came with. Anyway after ages of searching in my loft i find the disk, try to install and it's telling me NTPrint & Print Spooler services are unavailable, please enable them.
Run - services.msc, i try and find both of these services and they ARE NOT THERE! I've done alot of research since then and found out i need to use SC.EXE to kinda create the service, or i could do it through the registry. Only problem is i don't know how!! Please help it's one of my final pieces of coursework i really need this printed! I cant install my printer without enabling the services NTPrint & Print Spooler, but they arn't there. I need some commands or a regedit tweak to create these services. (Note - Please don't ask me to check msconfig or services.msc it is NOT there)
USB Printer Install
Feb 6, 2009i had high hopes that installing printers on Vista would work better than previous version of windows but as it turns out it is worse! I have an HP P2015dn printer. I hooked it up to my Vista enterprise machine via usb and it was recognized. The wizard took me to a point where it was asking for the driver disk. I dont have the disk so i decided to hit "Cancell" so that it would be recognized and take me to the same prompt in the near future after i had gotten the cd or downloaded the drivers.
I got the cd, plugged in the printer again and this time it says USB Device not recognized. I thought "OK" i will just go to the printers control panel and install from there. Well wouldnt you know, you cant autodetect a usb printer from the printers control panel. It says "USB printers will be auto installed when you plug them in". I went to device manager and removed all usb items including the "unknown device" and rebooted. still no go. how i can clean up the machine to restore it so that the printer is recognized as a printer again? Or how can i do a manual install of a usb printer?
Can't Install Printer
Jul 4, 2008After doing a system recovery on my laptop, I can't print. Everything says the printer and drivers were installed. I could print before the recovery. If I plug USB into the laptop, it prints. When I try to print without the cable, I don't get an error or anything, it just doesn't print. I found something that says to /browse to the Temp folder of your user account, C:Users\AppDataLocalTemp and create a new folder and name it LOW. Then there are other instructions. I can???t find this C:Users, etc. Can anyone tell me exactly how to get there? I'm using Vista.

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.............

Feb 1, 2008I was able to load Vista SP1 RC Refresh 2 without a problem. I was in hopes that it would help me with the issue of trying to print to a networked printer on a shared XP machine from my Vista laptop where I have the SP1 loaded but that was a crock. Still getting error 0x0000000d when trying to connect to the printer after install. I am about to go back to XP and dump this OS. I just can't see how MS can justify not fixing these BIG problems that have been around for a majority of the users since the OS was released. Anybody got a pocket sized printer they will sell me cheap?

Can you make an ISO CD of this program, load it in your CD/DVD drive and check your memory for errors?

Jan 30, 2007I'm assuming a clean install with an upgrade license will be identical to a clean install with a 'full' copy, except that at some point during the process, it will ask for my key for Windows XP? I just want to confirm this is the case before I go buy an upgrade copy. one last question to tack on here - if I have a desktop and a laptop computer will it let me install the same copy and license key of Vista on both? I know some MS products in the past have allowed you to install on more than one computer because they realize a lot of people have more than one computer but they only work with one at a given time.
View 6 Replies View RelatedCan Not Install Printer "Canon MP210"
Mar 23, 2008I just puchased a new Gateway computer and printer package. The Gateway is a FX7020 and the printer is a Canon MP210. The OS is Vista Home Premium. I followed the installation instructions to the letter, but the printer software never recognizes the printer and as a result does not complete the installation. I have rebooted as directed, but the problem persists.Here is the history: Prior to installing this new Canon MP210 printer I already had a Canon IP4200. This printer also had problems installing, but I was able to manually configure the printer by going to "Add New Hardware" in the Control Panel, select printers and then select the Canon ip4200 in the list. I configured it for port USB2* that was on the screen. For whatever reason, each time I restarted the computer the "New Hardware" dialog box came up and for many days I would just close and go on.
I did not have any printing problems and things seems to work OK. This morning I select "Don't ask me again" on the "New Hardware" dialog and could not print any longer. So I uninstalled the Canon ip4200 and started over, but this time the USB2* port was not available in the list of ports for the printer in the manual Add Hardware dialog boxes. At this point, I was tired of fooling with the Canon ip4200 and since I had new Canon MP210, I decided to install it and move on...So now you know the full story... I follow the instructions precisely and the drivers will not install. I look in the Add Hardware configuration dialog box and the USB port does not show up. I am guessing that by telling the "New Hardware" box to quit prompting me about the ip4200, it has disabled the USB ports or something.
SP1 Will Not Install And Install Failed With Error 80004005
Apr 25, 2008I've tried numerous times to Install Vista Sp1, but without success. The install appers to go well, reaching 100% at stage 3, but then the screen reports the SP did not successfully install, and proceeds to roll back. On Checking the message in Windows Update, the install failed with error 80004005. I've raised the issue directly with MS, but the advice to install the SP in Safe mode has not helped. I've also trawled various forums and cannot find any reference to the specific error code.
I own a Sony Vaio VGN-FZ1. A number of forums seem to suggest it might be a hardware issue, and I have tried disabling / uninstalling various devices to
see if this helps, but this also has not got me any further. Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone know what this error code means? Is there a way to force the SP to install despite this error code (it does get to 100% at stage 3 after all, so maybe it does install, but one of the packages check routines is picking up an error which doesn't really exist???)

Apr 20, 2008I could do a repair install, install new motherboard drivers and possibly have to validate all over again the same as you always did with XP but no good. I cannot get into Windows at all so cant run repair from WITHIN windows and no option from the boot DVD works. So, do you have to lose everything each time you upgrade hardware or some part of it dies meaning you are forced to upgrade hardware?
I installed from Vista Business pre SP1 and installed SP1 before the motherboard died.

View 9 Replies View RelatedInstall On Second HD
Mar 30, 2008My laptop has a two HD's on board. I was thinking of replacing my larger D drive where I store data with the original smaller HD that came with and using that to install Vista. If I do that I can still access my data with a USB connection. Seems like the perfect solution! Does this then give me dual boot options? Will my programs installed on the XP drive work with Vista or do I have to install them again on the Vista drive? Even if I have to install them on the Vista drive it seems like I could go at it slowly as time allows and continue using XP until it's all up and running well. Does that make sense or am I missing something? I keep good backups but I like having the XP drive intact in case I missed something. Lots of senior moments these days! If this is good, will I be able to eventually just swap my Vista drive into the first postion where the XP drive is now? Or is there and another way to move or it to the C position?

May 31, 2009Sorry if this is redundant. I have a fairly slow broadband connection (1 mbps) but barely good enough for downloading Vista SP2. However, considering efficiency and reliability, would I be better off downloading the standalone installer (using another faster connection elsewhere) and bringing the download on a flash drive to my computer? Is this standalone installer much bigger, containing irrelevant stuff, than what Windows Update would eventually supply me with (since I'm current with all previous updates)?
