I just upgraded to the beta version of Windows 7 form Vista. I am now (unable) to print off of our local network via wi-fi. I am fairly computer literate, I have tried everything. The internet works fine with my Belkin N+ router...but I cannot print via wi-fi thru my hard lined computer, the one with (Windows 7). Can anyone please help? All 3 of my wi-fi computers have Windows XP on them.
I have a desktop and a laptop, both running Windows 7-64. I've been able to print to either of my printers from the laptop, but now it says Server Offline and won't send print jobs out. The printers are set to Share.I don't have a server, and the desktop is running (not sleeping). What happened, and how do I fix it?
How do I print from my Dell laptop with Windows 7 Pro OS to my HP Laserjet 2100 printer? I must use the USB to Parallel Port cable. I keep getting an error message.
HP Deskjet will not print from Desktop but will from laptop.My HP Deskjet will not print from my desktop. I keep getting errors saying it is off or offline, but it is on and status is "ready" on the printers and devices menu. I can print from my laptopthrough the wireless network so I am a little confused. I have done all the HP trouble shooting senarios, uninstalled/reinstalled stopped and started the spooler etc etc. I really need to be able to print from my desktop for my business.
I have a new laptop w7 and a pc in another room w7.have set up homegroup and all seems fine untill i tell pc to print,i get a messageoc has been sent to printer then comm error
I have a homegroup set up with a desktop and a latop, 2 printers which are physically connected to the desktop.When i open homegroup to see what devices are connected the 2 pc`s and the 2 printers show up but when i go to print something through the homegroup from the laptop only 1 printer shows up to print from even though both printers show up in the homegroup?
my laptop runs windows7 and is connected by wireless to my home PC running windows XP. The network printer is a brother DCP-145C and up until 2 weeks ago was prinitng from both computers well. My laptop recognises the printer but the printer does not print anything requested by the laptop. The PC prints perfectly. Sharing appears to be set up correctly.
I am not able to print in program(ie works, notepad ect.) to my network printer. The printer is a Kodak ESP 5250 connected via usb to my desktop cpu. Desktop is hp running win vista, laptop is an hp running Windows 7. All printer sharing is enabled. I have another laptop( aser) running Windows 7, it's hooked up the same way and it prints just fine. Here's the tricky part, I can get my hp laptop to print a test page from within the kodak program, but it won't print from within any other program. It acts like it spooled but then nothing come out.
I've been using various print drivers for various locations with success for a month with my new laptop. Today, all drivers gone.Loading new ones doesn't work. Print spooler is not "started;" it starts successfully, then is not "started" next time I look.Other possibly relevant information: HP 1020, HP MX 340 at home office.Tried: multiple restarts of print spooler, multiple reboots, troubleshooters, HP detect and download drivers?
I just recently bought an Acer Aspire 5250 fro rent a center and for a while I was able to connect to Wifi, but I can't anymore. i have barely downloaded anything or installed anything, so that can't be it, I've googled this problem and everything, i disabled the wireless adapter and re-enabled it and nothing happened. Any clue what DID happen? I'm currently connected to the internet with my Wireless card from my cell phone company.
Despite being able to connect to a Homegroup containing two wired desktops, a router, and a wireless printer, using it's LAN connection, I can't get the laptop to see the Homegroup just using wifi.The laptop can still access the internet and printer, but no homegroup.If I plug in the LAN cable I can see and automatically join the Homegroup. If I then remove the LAN cable, the wifi then connects to the Homegroup.If I start the Laptop on wifi only. It can't even see the Homegroup.
i bought a 2007 model hp nc6220 with windows 7. I have been unable to turn on my wifi. I've tried everything. nothing works. The wifi button, fn and f2 buttons, nothing. No lights, no nothing. My wireless connection to my printer works. Can't connect to my router.
Don't know what happened, wifi was always on -- my lan went off, so I put on, my hot spot on my cell phone, and noticed my wifi has an orange light, and messages say my wifi is off. I cannot get it to turn back on.
(Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, HP LaserJet CP1215)When printing from Word (or any other normal application) the documents just sit in the print queue with Status = "Error - Printing".If I stop, then re-start the Print Spooler service, they then print.Strangely enough, this does not happen if I print from the HP printer diagnostic utility.I've done complete re-install of the entire printer driver suite and I'm pretty sure everything that end is OK. So what's happening with the spooler? The error message isn't exactly very revealing
Every one else is using a WiFi in my home except me.I don't know why.Whenever I'm trying to connect,I'm getting message,Windows was unable to connect.
I have checked in Network adapters option,My device is working properly. I was able to use if a day before or so but not now. I have to use Ethernet cable to use Internet now.
