Have spent hours trying to google and find soultions to getting an XP printer to print via a home network on a Windows 7 PC that has a HP 1022 printer attached via USB. When I started out I could access the XP machine over the network but not vice versa, but can't even see it anymore.
View 5 RepliesThe only printer in my network is on a computer running XP, and my 7 laptop needs to connect to it. How do I do this? I already used my XP computer to set up a workgroup, but I can't figure out how to connect to it on 7.
View 2 Replies View RelatedSwapped out a Belkin N Series router with a newer model (3 of the 4 ports were not working). After doing the install of new router, per there directions, My 2 Dell Laptops Can't connect to the Dell Tower (that has my printer attached to it).
Had no problem seeing the desktop when I clicked on "network" on either my work laptop (running win 7 pro x32 or the wifes running vista sp2 x32 home Premium). But Now neither can see the tower.
Nothing else was changed, all setting were set the same. Thought Dells could talk to each other via RF signals, no need for routers.
The printer, HP Photosmart 2575 is connected in another room to a PC with Windows XP and I cant get it to show up in Windows 7 at all.
An Ethernet cable runs from the PC in the other room to my router in my room.
Also, when I managed to get it working on Windows Vista previously, my god it was slow performance.
Shall I install the printer drivers on this machine, and if so, how do I set the compatibility mode?
If anyone has any questions to ask me, let me know!
prevent users from removing a attached VHD from "Safely remove hardware and eject media", We have had multiple users eject the VHD when they are going to unplug their USB and they are ejecting the attached VHD instead.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am having huge issues getting my new Samsung SCX 3405FW printer to connect wirelessly to my PC running Windows 7.
I have run through the instalation process many times and it always ends with 2 outcomes.
1) When I try to create a network between my printer - router - PC it states that my WPA2 password is invalid. It is not!
2) When I attempt to create an "ad-hoc" network direct from the printer to the PC the instalation process untils it reaches near the end and it tells me that my must enable "portthru" in my network settings. The only place that I can see one can add a "portthru" thing is via my firewall settings.
I have had Samsung on the phone for hours and they cannot fix it. Yes, I have downloaded and installed the latest version of the software and drivers for the printer. I have tried a reset to factory settings on the printer etc etc.
I have win 7 64 bit desktop with only serial port, com1 i guess. I have an old HP 5P laserjet that has an lpt1 parallel printer cable securely attached to it. i tried to connect a couple of adapters to the cable and plug it into the com port. I don't get any errors and it doesn't print. I took the driver from the hp site. do i need to change the com port settings (baud rate, etc...? What am I missing?

View 2 Replies View RelatedUsing a Toshiba Nb205 mini notebook with windows 7 starter. Trying to connect to a printer on my home desktop that is running Windows XP. The notebook could not find the printer but it found the router and i have Internet access. The printer also has built in wifi but the notebook does not detect it either. Any solutions?
Answer:-
Is the XP PC set to share the printer? File and printer sharing need to be enabled and the XP PC and Windows 7 notebook need to be in the same "workgroup".
My WIndows 7 decktop is part of a small home network. I can access files from the network form the Windows 7 computer but I cannot connect to the printer on the network. When I run the "add printer" wizard, it correctly lists the printers on the network, all of which are attached to one computer. Of the ones listed, only one is a real printer. The others are things like Adobe, or a fax printer. I successfully connected the Windows 7 to the "Adobe printer" but when I try to connect to the Lexmark printer, I get an error message, "0.0000000a".
Also when I try "view network computers" from the Windows XP where the printer is connected, it does not show the Windows 7 computer as part of the network. THe Windows 7 had been part of the network prior to installing Windows 7 when it had Windows XP and it had no problems. THe connection to the home network seems to have survived the upgrade to Windows 7 on the Windows 7 computer but not on the others.

View 7 Replies View RelatedFrom a fresh start up of the computer, I can get my thumbnails to generate any where on my computer, the NAS, or the USB attached to the NAS. However, after a short period (not specific, can be 5 mins or 30 mins), the USB drive attached to the NAS will no longer generate thumbnails, however, everywhere else still does (ie local files or even NAS files).
I have multiple machines, and it happens on this machine only (brand new only 2 weeks old, fresh windows 7 installed only 2 weeks ago).
I am using Windows 7 64bit Ultimate, but so are the other 2 windows 7 machines, and they do not forget to show thumbnail previews after a little while.
- "Always show icons, never thumbnails" from folder options is UNTICKED. - tried all options from here Thumbnail Previews - Enable or Disable - Windows 7 Forums (with everything set to enable thumbnails)
What seems to happen is that it suddenly forgets that thumbnails are enabled, but only for that specific drive. Using the link above, it should always be the first example "EXAMPLE: Thumbnails Enabled in Windows Explorer" but when it decides to stop working it becomes "EXAMPLE: Thumbnails Disabled in Windows Explorer", however, it only effects that one specific USB device attached to my NAS.
It has to be a Windows 7 issue on this machine only, as all my other Windows 7 and XP machines always show thumbnails. As far as I know, all the Windows 7 machines have exactly the same software loaded (I re-formatted them all about 2 weeks ago when the new machine was built).
If I restart the computer all thumbnails are working again until it no longer likes me.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm have a "random" crash, that occurs at different times, sometimes when in IE, othertimes in Word, and other times when doing nothing! Or simply don't initialize. Sometimes the computer crashes but maintain the screen, only freezes all. Other times the BSOD comes. When system re-starts, try the "initialization recovery", but nothing. I have installed (formated) the Windows 2 times (last this week) , it's a fresh install, Windows 7 retail and updated to SP1, x64. Drivers are all updated and all devices have their drivers correctly installed. It's a clean system, with Avira (antivirus) and no overclock or something like. Normal use. I used memtest86 for 10 hours and all it's ok.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWe just bought a WD 2TB My Book Elite external hard drive. When we boot the computer into Windows 7 and plug in the USB cable, the drive is recognized and assigned a drive letter. Everything looks normal--we can access the drive, read files on it, copy files to it, etc. However, next time we power up the computer, if this drive is attached, the computer won't boot. The Dell BIOS splash screen comes up and sits there for a while, then the screen goes black--and absolutely nothing else happens. If we then disconnect the drive and start the computer again, it boots normally. The external drive has the latest firmware and software installed, and we have the most current BIOS installed.

Considering I've run several diagnostic tools to see if my hardware was the issue.

View 6 Replies View RelatedThis is a windows 7 x64 AMD CPU, Radeon HD5770, eyefinity triple monitor setup. About two years old system.
AMong 2 monitors, I have 2x Acer X193w connected via DVI, another one is a X2gen connected via display port.
The X2gen monitor usually won't turn on when I wake the computer up, it make the "tip tip tip" clicks for minutes before eventually turned on.
It was fine until about 2 weeks ago, crashed 6 times so far.
For about a week I've been experiencing random BSODs, after about 4 months of stable performance. There are no recent hardware or software changes that I'm aware of. The crashes are truly random, sometimes it will go 2 days without a crash, and then the next day I will get 2 or 3 crashes in an hour. It doesn't seem to correlate with a particular program or device attached. For some reason, my System Restore had been turned off so I have no way of restoring to an earlier point prior before the crashes. I do however backup the system regularly with Acronis Backup, and if I can't solve this I'll have to restore to a prior Acronis backup.Here is my OS info (for full system specs click on My System Specs at bottom left of post):
- x64
- the original installed OS on the system? NO.
- Full retail version (Ultimate)
- What is the age of system (hardware)? LESS THAN 6 MONTHS.
- What is the age of OS installation (have you re-installed the OS?) LESS THAN 6 MONTHS.
Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit (retail) installed for about a week.
I am trying to troubleshoot regular BSOD's on my system. They seem to occur during HD video playback (XMBC) or under other system load like downloading large files (from newsgroups) where the speed is fairly high (apx. 2mbps).
I recently replaced my single core CPU for a dual-core thinking it may help, but it didn't. Now, I'm wondering if it could be the memory. I did the windows memory check, and it reported errors, but I don't where to find the log or what to do next.
