how do i connect my dell computer (T5400) to my hp printer (wireless) hp photosmart printer. without the original disk that it came with. we have updated the computer and run the latest version of windows fyi. also the printer is about two years old.
I have a local network and the printer connects to a wireless router using a USB cable, I am about to get a wireless printer. My Lap Top connects to the internet wireless throu the Router when I bring the Wireless Printer will I need to connect to the printer thru the Router or directly to the printer
I am using a netbook running Windows 7 starter. I have a Canon wireless printer that I used to be able to print with. Now, when I choose the printer I want to use it doesn't show up. It is possible that I uninstalled something but I am not sure.
My Dell Studio 15 laptop cannot connect to my home wireless router, by can connect to neighbor's or my friends's or hotels's wireless network. My IPad and another two Dell Inspiron 17 laptops can connect my home wireless router without problems.
I had a Dell MFP1600n laser printer given to me a while back (Praise the Lord) & it came at the right time as I was destitute then & couldn't afford cartridges for a Canon I960.Here's the rub.There was no problem connecting & using the printer with a wired connection to a Linksys WRT54GS & a wired XP Desktop & a wireless XP Desktop (both older 86X systems).Though the 64 bit, wireless, Windows 7 laptop connected through the same router to the internet. As usual, it would not & still does not "see the XP machines". It also would not, through multiple configurations, connect to this printer.At first I tried to update the driver, but Dell only had XP 32 bit available. After hours & days of wasted time with "Add printer", I resorted to using a flash drive for the few times I needed to print something from this infernal Windows 7 machine.
I finally wondered if my head was stuck in the "soon to be obsolete, XP mode".'know, this isn't the first time Microsoft has Pi**ed me off & I understand that we are all "beta testing" a product that we have paid several hundred dollars for. I also understand the reason for security, but I don't want to spend 50% or better of my time trying to use an OS that cannot tell ME from a scumbag intruder. There are AV programs for that...As it came installed on my laptop (& of course I received no restore or install disks whatsoever with it), I'm stuck with trying to repair, rather than reformat. Unless I wish to pi** away a bunch more money to Microsoft.
I have a netgear wireless router upstairs. My dell laptop, my iMac (which is downstairs) and my iPad/iPhones all connect anywhere in the house. My Toshiba laptop and my work dell will not connect or it connects very intermittently. I can stay connected for days on other wifi networks, just not at home. Any ideas?
My operating system is Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. I recently bought a new laptop (not a Dell) and so wanted to link this up and synchronize it with my Dell 305w all in one Wireless printer so it prints and scans wirelessly. I put in the CD that came with the printer and I downloaded the most recent driver (or so I thought). Anyway, after all that was done it prints wirelessly no problem. The trouble came when I wanted to scan a document from the Dell Imaging Toolbox. On my old laptop (that is a Dell) and my daughter's laptop (that is a Samsung,) this works wirelessly no problem at all from the Dell Imaging Toolbox.
On this new laptop, it doesn't scan wirelessly although it does print wirelessly. Every time I tried, first a message came up giving me a choice of two printers to use yet only one is showing in Devices and Printers in the control panel. So I chose one. (This message never came up before on my other laptop and I never had a choice). After choosing one, I then chose 'scan' and then 'start' from the Dell Imaging Toolbox. This then brought up another message that was titled, 'Network Scan.' 'For best results when scanning over the network:
- Save all your work. - Close Dell Imaging Toolbox. - Press the Scan button on your printer's operator panel.
I need to have it working wirelessly from a remote spot as it did with my previous laptop because I am disabled. How to rectify this scenario? What am I doing that is stopping this from scanning wirelessly? On top of that also related to the printer, every time I boot up the laptop, a message appears saying, 'Microsoft.NET Framework Version 2.0 is required to continue. This software is available for free at - Microsoft website address.' I've gone to the website and downloaded this twice but the error message still keeps coming up every time I boot.
I currently use drivers from 2008:Driver Version 4.176.75.21 - 10/1/2008 for my Dell Wireless 1505 Draft 802.11n WLAN Mini-Card.Whenever I run Microsoft Update it tells me to upgrade to the latest drivers, however, with the newest drivers I experience a SIGNIFICANT drop in throughput- something like from 108 mbps with my current setup to 1-15 mbps with the "updated" drivers.I'd like to have the most up to date driver, but do not want to limit my Wifi bandwidth either.
I have 2 computers on my home network. My desktop is running Windows 7 ultimate 32 bit and I have a kodak 5500 Aio connected to it. I also have a laptop that's running windows 7 home premium 64 bit that connects wireless. I was able to print until today and now I can't print from the laptop. I can see the printer in the add printer window but comes up with cannot connect with error of 0x0000000d
I bought a new wireless Epson Workforce 545 printer. It has worked without flow for quite some time (nearly a year). Now all the suddenly it wont print.I have it as a shared printer. There are three other family members on the network and all three others print without any problem. Mine worked fine and now wont print. It goes through the motions and then times out. All it says is "printer error".
I have a Dell Inspiron 1520 Laptop and stuck windows 7 RTM 32 bit on it. All was well but now connecting wirelessly is slow. Like slower then 56k modem slow. I have a Dell 802.11n wireless mini card installed that works PERFECTLY under windows XP. I was getting 80 % signal strength under Win 7 and getting 1 mbps where as in XP I was getting 78 to 100 mbps with the same signal strength. Oh and ethernet works perfectly fine.
For a time I was able to download the corresponding vista driver from dell and then replace the driver that win 7 automatically installs for it, then flipped the card switch off and on and it would work like it should for a while, but then reverted to the same slow network speeds once the laptop was reset or turned off and on. Now flipping the switch or re-installing doesn't work either. I've tried resetting the router, no go and none of my other computers or products have a problem with it. I've tried doing a few things suggested in other posts, like assigning a static ip, disabling ipv6, etc... Nothing has worked.
I'd love someone who knows what it may be or has heard of this precise problem, although I think I may be stuck waiting until Win 7 makes it debut in Oct and until Dell releases a proper 7 driver for it.
My notebook is an ASUS G53SX - A1 with an Atheros AR9002WB-1NG wireless card. I was able to connect with a cable.
When i try to connect wireless i can see the network and even it's strength but when i try to connect i get the message "windows was unable to connect to xxxxxx network". the driver are up to date and i can connect with other laptops to the same network.
I tried uninstalling my driver..but everytime i scan for new hardwares..it will detect and automatically the the previous driver will occur..i dont know why it happens..
its a netbook Acer ..and a Broadcom 802.11g adapter..
I have both x86 and x64 Seven installed. Wireless Card is Realtek 8185 b/g, router is belkin 802.11b
For x86, 7000-7048-7057 all connected to the 802.11b router with WEP 128bit without problem.
Since 7057, I installed x64 Seven and verified that the WEP key is correct. But, it just can't connect. "Unidentified network", Access type: No Internet access. ipconfig /all tells me that I didn't connect to the router at all. The router's dhcp didn't assign the x64 any ip.
If I boot up the x86, I then can go to Internet without problem.
I tried the troubleshoot. The program reset my wireless network card then let me retype my wep key. At the end, it was unable to fix the issues and it lists the problems as below:
Windows cannot connect to "....." Detected
"Wireless Network Connection" doesn't have a valid IP configuration Detected
Now, if I manually set a valid IP "192.168.2.3" and mask "255.255.255.0" and gateway "192.168.2.1", I still can't connect to the router. But, from the router side, the dhcp list shows my x64 ip address.
Also, even if I reset the router to Open (without WEP), x64 still can't connect to the router. None of above can make me ping the router. So wired.
Please help me. I do like x64 over x86, because in there the office 2007 and SAS 9.2 won't freeze/without response. And, I don't have the lan access to the router.
I cannot use wireless access, getting msg. wireless lan adapter has been disabled in device manager, checked device manager there is a Network adapter, (Realtek PCIE FE Family Controller) and then there is Other Devices under there is the network controller(yellow !). Downloaded controller drivers from HP,( sp53955) and for some reasons the drivers are not installing. Also when I try to set up a wireless connection all i can get is broadband and cable. I am quite sure this is because there is a problem with the wireless adapter.I continued my search and discovered that this notebook uses the Atheros ar9285 wireless adapter, I disabled the unknown network controller and enabled the Realtek since this one appeared to be the one that was installed by HP.
I got a brand new HP with Windows 7 and it will not connect to my network. It sees it and I have another laptop connected to it as well as a desktop hardwired to it. Like I said, this thing is brand new.

I'm running 7 Ultimate & have no problems at home but when I go out to my local diner I have no internet access. I have a great connection to their router but cannot connect to the internet. Once in a while,like maybe 1 out of 20x it will connect. I see folks on a weekly basis using the internet with no problems.
I have a problem my HP Pavilion dv5-2035dx it can't seem to connect to any networks anymore. It was working fine two nights ago, and now it can't connect. It can locate the networks, but every time I try to connect to one it will give me a cannot connect to network. Troubleshooting does nothing as well.
I am using an Atheros AR9285 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter. The adapter can detect the available SSID wireless connections in my area but not able to connect to them.
I can see the wireless connection on the laptop but it won�t connect.this networks no needed user name and pass to connect.my laptop is vostro 1015 os: windows 7 ultimate.
I have an Acer TravelMate 5740G (all other system specs are fine so i'm only posting the networking relevant stuff) and it does not connect to wireless networks - Acer Nplify 802.11bgn from a broadcom 802.11n wireless adapter apparently has the best driver (as advised by MS device manager)this pc has been able to connect to a grand total of 2 wireless networks?
1. at uni it connected on its own for 15 minutes, any time i've attempted to manually connect it says "could not connect to [network name]"
2. connected just fine to a 3g iphone 4 acting as a portable hotspot at home, my wireless settings are as follows:Open WEP PSK w/ 1 key index everybody else in my family can connect to this wireless network i can connect with my phone, my dad with his lappy, my friends with their lappies. there are NO xp computers in the network there are 3 Windows 7 desktops on the network the internet works just fine with the rj45 cable ---> i'm 100% sure the issue is not with my home network config OR the router at uni, the router + settings are not the issue because they service 15,000 people a day without issue ---> i'm 100% sure the issue is not with other network configs OR their routers i have tried every change under the sun (that i know of) with my laptop's own configs.i've attempted to update all the WNIC drivers, i've made the WNIC as open to connections as i possibly can.i have disabled ip6 and tried, i have enabled ip6 and tried, and i get no connections happening. i'm at the end of my wits, i just want my wireless to work, and i have NFI how to make it happen.
