Notebook Not Print On Shared Printer
Mar 23, 2008
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'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.

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.

I want to make sure I buy the correct item. My desktop is connected to our wireless router via cable and our notebook is wireless. I want to buy a printer to attach, usb, to the desktop but that I can network to the notebook. Any specifics I need to ask for? Do I install the software in both computers? Would a usb wireless adapter for the desktop be the way to go?

I have a Dell PC with XP Home and a Dell A960 Printer attached to it. I also have a new HP Laptop with Vista premium that has also had the same printer attached to it at times so the drivers are installed on HP laptop. I recently installed a router so I can use laptop wirelessly. That works fine. However, I am unable to print to the host printer wirelessly. I get message saying printer cannot communicate with computer. I tried everything I found on Google searches. I have enabled printer sharing on both. Do I have to make the Workgroup names the same and if so do I change the Dell with XP or the HP with Vista? I changed the Dell once to no avail so I changed back. Do computer names have to be same? I am a novice at networking.

Two shared printers off 2 computers running XP. One notebook running Vista that can print fine to one shared printer but not the other. The one it *can* print to is hardwired to the network, the one in *cannot* isn't. But, that's not the problem. The notebook "sees" the printer share just fine. Just trying to connect or run the setup wizard ultimately leads to an "access denied" error. 1) I tried googling the answer and it wasn't "add a local printer" (even though it's not) 2) I tried installing the printer driver both before and after adding the printer (didn't work) I mean it's *right* there, the machine sees it. Why can't it connect to it? Do I need to change something in the machine's permission settings? It's an effing printer. Who cares if the whole world sees it.

I 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 checked out many forums and seen many others with the same or similar problems. I tried all the suggested solutions with no results. I have a home network with 3 XP computers and a Vista laptop (Lenovo x60) running Vista Business. The network using both wired and wireless connections. I installed a NAS (Maxtor Shared Storage 2), and had to change the workgroup name (since the Maxtor could not handle the "@") character.
After I changed the workgroup name on all computer, the vista cannot find my shared printer, neither any of the other computers on my network. The XP machines do not see the vista either. I have internet access from the vista, but cannot print or do backup to the NAS. So far I tried:.................

I 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.

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.

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'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?

I have a XP desktop and a Vista laptop. I have the network configured and I can see the shared folders and printers on the XP desktop from the Vista laptop. I can access the shared folders and printer. I can send a print job to the printer from the laptop and I can see it in the print que but the job will not print it just sits there. I cant print a test page or any other document. I let Vista install the print drivers for the printer, a Lexmark 1270.

I did a clean install with VISTA ULTIMATE (same program as-was). I have been trying to figure out all day why the USB laser jet printer will not print. It is supposed to 'see and install a USB printer when switched on', but it won't. Nothing was changed on the hardware hook-up since it worked fine on the previous VISTA O/S. I know this is got to be a simple fix, but danged if I can figure it out?

There was a problem when installing the Dell v305 printer that I found answered at I tried to follow their solution but in the folder C:Windowssystem32spoolDRIVERS I could not delete the folder color, because, it said I need permission to delete it.

I have done this often on XP to XP. Now I want to do it on a two machine setup using VISTA on one machine and XP on the other.
I have a EPSON R320 printer installed and working fine on the XP machine. It was connected to that machine's USB.
I moved the USB connector to the VISTA machine and installed the printer drivers etc on that machine. It printed fine.
On both machines printer sharing is activated, using share name R320.
I moved the USB connection back to the XP machine, I can't figure out how to 'add printer' on the VISTA machine to enable printing on the R320 from the VISTA machine to the R320 via the XP machine.

I have Vista Ultimate.
I don't have a printer, but there are some documents that i want to save.
The only option in a web page to make copy of them is to print them.
How can i configure my vista to print what ever "to file" instead to printer?

I have a new Vista 64-bit computer. Connected to the Vista computer is an HP F4820 Desk Jet printer. My Vista computer connects to the internet via a wireless connection. In another room in the house, we have an XP computer. It, too, connects
to the internet and home network via the wireless connection. When I got the Vista 'puter and the new printer, and hooked them up, the XP computer was able to print. It took some hoop-and-fire jumping to get it to do so, but it did.
My DVD/CD burner died and I had to kill my computer at the instruction of Dell (grrr), which created more problems than it was worth given that I already knew it was a harddrive problem. BUT, anyway, now my XP cannot print........

We have a small network with 3 PCs and 1 printer with wired connections to a router. All of the PCs can see each other on the network. One of the PCs cannot see or print to the network printer, though the other two can. The printer is shown as installed, but PING shows 4 packets sent, 4 packets received - 'Host Unreachable'. Is there some file or driver that might be corrupted on the one PC causing this... ?

I have a Brother MFC-420CN that I had hooked up to our Fios wireless router for almost 2 yrs with no problems. We had to unhook everything for a while. When I went to set it back up tonight I tried to print to it from My Dell Desktop (Vista Home Basic) but it kept erroring out. I noticed that it said it was offline. I checked my router admin page and it showed the printer as active and enabled with an IP address of 192.168.1.100. I was able to successfully ping it from the admin panel and the comand prompt, but I was not able to view it in a browser window. I tried rebooting the router, PC and printer to no avail. I then tried printing from my wireless laptop, (Compaq- Vista). I successfully did a test print from the laptop, but then I tried to view the printer thru an internet browser and after that it did the same thing as the Dell.
It will show Ready for the status, but if I try to print it errors out and goes to Offline. I tried it from one other laptop we have (Toshiba-Vista) with no luck. I tried deleting and readding the printer, no change. I found a thread that said to remove SNMP from the Port settings. I did that on both the Dell and the Compaq. The Compaq now prints, but the Dell still won't print at all. Haven't tried it on the Toshiba yet (limited access- teenagers pc :-) I don't see why unplugging it would make it stop working on all three pc's. I don't know why I can ping it, but not connect to it in a browser or print to it.
