How To Scan With Wireless From Printer To Laptop Computer
Oct 5, 2012
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 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...
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 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.
My daughter has an XP PC and an XP laptop that talks OK to a wireless printer. She now has a Win7 laptop. Am I right in thinking that the Win7 laptop cannot be made to 'see' the wireless printer because it has been set up on XP? It would be helpful to know before I get over there to spend some time investigating.
we installed a wireless router so that we can use botha desktop computer and a laptop.we cannot get on the internet with the laptop. we have optimen service
I've had problems with my wireless printer going "offline" a lot and its one of the most frustrating situations when you go to hit print and theres a 35% chance it will be offline.
Now I tried to "Add a new printer" and for some reason after trying time after time my computer is not discovering my wireless printer any more?
My printer sucessfully pairs up with my router every time I try to go through the wireless setup wizard. I've restarted/unplugged the printer time & time again & also restarted the computer.
how to get my computer to see this printer again & KEEP it online?
On a laptop I just added to the home workgroup, I see the wireless printer in the folder area under network as a computer. But when I go tro Devices and printer and ask to add a new printer it searches and does not find it..
So how come it shows as a computer & not a printer? How do I get it to show as a printer..
My computer can't even find my wireless printer through the wireless router it is connected to. This is a Dell MC4 Dual Processor using Windows 7 with Internet Explorer 9. I have tried everything known to my knowledge to connect the said printer to my computer but nothing is working.
I am running WIN7 64 Bit, BT wireless hub. Have added a laptop (also running WIN7 64 bit) to home network and set up HP Photosmart Premium 309g printer as 'wireless'. It works a treat with the laptop but my desktop computer tells me the printer is off line.
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?
I have a new Canon MX860 connected to my wireless LAN. My XP laptop can print and scan with no problems. However, my new Windows 7 laptop will print but not scan. Have tried uninstalling/reinstalling the Canon software and drivers (with firewall/antivirus turned off - as per Canon advice). The message is always the same:" Cannot communicate with scanner for these reasons-scanner is disconnected-scanner is turned off.
Have tried using Scangear Tool but it can't find the scanner-even when I sit it within 30cms of both the laptop and my wireless router. Canons last response is that it must be an incompatibility with Windows 7 as the printer works fine with XP- I have to take it up with Microsoft- Canon for the support. Canon IJ Network Utility also loaded but will not run with Windows 7 (64 bit). Also tried changing compatibility settings for all software & drivers in various combinations - but the message is the same. People on this forum resolved my only other problem with spooler errors
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.
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
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".
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.
my new laptop will not recognise telstra broadband usb wireless! i have gone into device manager and then network adaptorsand it has an explanation mark on sierra wireless!!
