I can't remember how to easily scan from my HP printer to my wireless laptop. I am not too computer savvy, so need the most direct instruction anyone might have for me. HP PhotoSmart C4700 and Microsoft Windows 7...
I can print from my laptop to my c7200 hp printer through the wireless on my laptop. The printer is already installed on my HP Pavilion laptop. How do I scan documents inserted into the printer and view scans on my laptop?
I have installed windows 7, and connected it the my printer: (Brother DCP-135 C) after connected it without install the software as I did before with Windows XP, it can printer, but cannot scan, I tried to install the software, it tells me I have to update
Does anyone know if you can use the Windows 7 Windows Fax and Scan with a shared printer? I got my computer to print via the shared printer, pero when I attempt to preform a "New Scan," it says no scanner is attached to my computer. Any insight?
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.
it's been weeks and I've tried everything I could: system restore, disk check, disc fragmentor, safemode scanning, etc My problem is that for some reason, all of my scans (superantispyware, malwarebytes and avast), all start to freeze during full system scans. Quick scans are completely fine, but when it's system scan, for example, superantispyware would hang when it gets to system32
computer turns on sooo slow virus scans rarely complete, last time ran for 11 hrs said there was nothing wrong. I am currently using avast. should i run a combo fix.ran one last year on brothers advise, also use glary and ccleaner.
My computer freezes during a virus scan, defrag, disc check, etc. I have to manually shut down. Does it even in safe mode. Windows7 64 bit. Operates perfect otherwise.
I've had the worst luck with this HP Officejet 6500.or some reason my computer always sees it as "offlineWell the only way to get it back online is to delete the old printer & add a "New Printer" via Devices & Usually that works even though it's severely a pain in the a**!But now my computer isnt even seeing the printer at all any more to add?I've restarted my computer twice, turned on/off the printer a few times, re-synced the printer within the wireless router successfully & it still isnt showing up.I really need this up & running asap to finish my work, but I also need to get to the bottom of the problem of this stupid thing going "offline" and making me re-add a new printer.It makes using the computer so frustrating. It happens a couple of time a week maybe.
wreaks havoc with my Norton full system scan. It is scheduled weekly, but never does it, because my computer is on, but sleeping. How can I get the scan to not stop during sleep mode or scan if it's in sleep mode? I having to constantly unsleep my computer or change my control panel settings then change it back.
I have a new laptop, which was set up for me in the shop. Everything was working perfectly. Now however, my PC is not recognising the printer. I have previously been able to print from this laptop using the same cable, printer and USB port.
When I try to 'troubleshoot' this problem, I get a message that the printer driver is not installed. I thought Windows 7 automatically installed devices when connected via USB?
I have double checked the cable with another laptop and all is fine. I have double checked both USB ports with other devices and all is fine.
I can't get a Samsung ML 3560 Laser printer to operate with my desktop computer which is running Windows 7 Home Premium.There is nothing wrong with the printer or USB cable - they work fine with my laptop running XP.I have downloaded and installed the latest drivers for Windows 7 (and have checked this with Samsung), but for some reason the printer isn't showing up in device manager.I have tried connecting to various USB ports.
I have a Windows 7 64 bit computer, almost brand new. I also have a Dell AIO 926 photo printer that i wish to connect to it. When i connect it, the computer recognizes it as normal, but says i need to download the drivers. I click troubleshoot, follow its instructions, download the correct driver(made sure when i looked manually on the dell website), for 64 bit windows 7. Only thing is, i still cant get the printer to work! it still says "troubleshoot" and wont let me print anything. and every time i "troubleshoot" it says i need drivers for it, which it did before, and just takes me in a continuous loop, getting nowhere. I then downloaded it from dell website manually( i made sure it was for 64 bit, not 32) and still no luck. i can stare at the drivers all day but i cant get my computer to use them on my printer. it just detects theyre not there. the drivers are installed to the main hard drive C:, under dell/drivers/R150575. is it installed in the wrong place? i couldnt find a different place to install it in the drop downs, and it seemed like a good place to install it. i have also restarted the computer to make sure, and disconnected & reconnected the USB; still no luck for both, still that dreaded exclamation mark next to the printer under "hardware and devices".
I have a desktop computer and a laptop at home. The desktop is connected via CAT5 to the modem. The laptop is connected to the same modem and the same network, but via a wireless signal. Both desktop and laptop are Windows 7 Home Premium x64. Both desktop and laptop belong to the same homegroup/workgroup. It is possible to see shared files between the computers no problem. File sharing is enabled on both computers and works normally.So far, so good. However, I am unable to print from my laptop in a very peculiar way. I'll simply say what goes on (rather than attempt to analyse) so you can judge for yourself:When I print from the desktop: Print job goes into print queue. I am able to see the document in the print queue, on both the desktop and laptop (i.e. Laptop detects the correct printer and sees there's a document queued). Document prints as expected, and disappears from queue.When I print from the laptop: Print job goes into print queue on laptop only - Only the laptop sees the document in the print queue, desktop does not see it at all. After some time (usually ~10 seconds per page) the document disappears from the queue, as if it was printed normally. However, the desktop never registers the document in the print queue, and most importantly the printer never prints.
- Is this a software issue with Office 2003 (what I use)? Not as far as I can tell, printing PDFs and from websites also don't work on the laptop. - Could it be that the printer you added to your laptop isn't recognised as being the same printer? I doubt this, because when I print a document on my desktop but check the print queue on my laptop, the document is present. - What kind printer do you have? HP Deskjet F2180. - Is your network preventing the two computers from connecting to each other? I don't think so, because file sharing is on for both, works normally on both machines, and I can see the desktop's print queue from the laptop.
Well here is my issue I have a XP computer that is hooked up with the Printer but I have it set it for to be shared already. When I go to "ADD PRINTER" and i hit the button saying "ADD NETWORK, WIRELESS, BLUETOOTH PRINTER" it searches and searches but it nevers finds it but when I had vista I had no issues finding it. We are on the same network and workgroup.
I am connected by wireless and the XP computer is connect via wired. What can be causing this because I am completely stumped about this because I am trying to figure out how to print stuff though a network printer. Another thing is I can not find any other computer on the network tab.
I have a Epson Photo RX585 Printer which is giving me one hell of a headache since I upgraded from XPpro to windows 7 32bit.I cannot get the Computer to communicate with the printer or is it the printer to accept the computer communication.I have downloaded the latest driver for the printer from epson home site and installed it.The automatic configuration of the driver into the appropriate port is not happening and asks me if I want to install it manualy (with me thats like asking a bus driver to fly a jumbo Jet).I did try getting directions from the internet but got lost and finished up with my printer driver attached to a LTP1 port instead of a printer USB port, needless to say it still wont work.I then decided that I would add USB ports myself Dont ask me how I did it but some how through the device manager I typed in USB001, USB002 and USB003 and the computer seems to have accepted these port as it has not thrown them back at me yet.My next venture into the unknown is to configure the printer with one of these ports to see if it will work.The computer will not configure automatically to any of these ports and I do not have a clue as to how to do it manually.As you can see by the details above anyone after reading this who is brave enough to attempt to give me instructions as to how to get this compuer of mine and printer onto speaking terms again is either mad or deserving a medal.
I have 3 laptops 1 x Win XP and 2 X Win 7. I have installed this printer on 2 of the laptops no problem, the 3rd l bought today networked fine and can print if the other printer(XP) is turned on. I wanted to install the printer on the new Win7 laptop so I can sometimes just plug the printer into it and print, to save turning other laptop on. But the printer driver will not load!! Each time the installation goes fine, but when l look in printers and faxes the yellow exclamation mark is there.If l connect the usb cable to the new laptop it says installing printer, but then says printer driver not installed.
My wife is getting colors that are different between her hp dv7 windows home and hp all-in-one b210 printer. The colors are correct on the laptop but come out quite different on the printer. I haven't been able to find any knobs to turn on the laptop to correct this. I don't have this problem with my xp desktop and hp 7200 printer.
Does anyone know where to begin looking for settings on either the laptop or on the printer?
Comments: To help others who may have same problem, this is what I discovered. I had her print a web page and the colors were really off. I replaced the print cartridges then ran another print. The colors compared well to the monitor. These (B210) cartridges are small and store a salesman had previously commented that they tend to dry up. The problem thus was probably gunky cartridges. I found a "clean print heads" function on tools. I recommended she run this monthly to keep the them clean (I don't normally use her printer). In thinking about it, I realized my 7200 automatically cleans the print heads plus its cartridges are much larger.
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 disconnected my printer from my laptop in order to take it to the other room wirelessly. When I needed to print something, I went back & plugged in my printer, But for some reason my laptop isn't communicating with my printer? Laptop: Asus G60JX.Printer: Epson Stylus R800 Photo.I also went to epson's web site & re-downloaded the driver to no avail.
