I work off a Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit laptop when at home remoting into a Server 2003 R2. On the laptop I have a Epson Workforce 545 networked which won't display when I connect to the RDC. On the Local Resources tab, I have selected printers, clipboard, drives and ports on the RDC properties. Everty thing else works fine and I can see a CutePDF printer that is installed locally when connected to the RD.
I've used this setup with success on an laptop running XP just by simply ticking Printers in the Local Resources tab but can't seem to get it work with Windows 7. Does it have something to do with the port the Epson is using? If I click on Configure Port it shows it as LPR Printing. Is that relevant?
I have a Windows 7 machine that stops recognizing the installed printers after printing a couple of files. If you reboot the machine, it will recognize the installed printers, but then stops seeing them after trying to print again.
I have installed the following printers: Epson LX-300+II, HP Laserjet 1010, HP Colour Lasterjet 1515, Canon IP5200.
The printers work and are all displayed from Word, IE, etc, but only one printer shows up in Windows 7 Devices & Printers - usually whichever is selected as default printer. If I remove the displayed printer, it shows me another one. When I first installed, it showed me all the printers, but problems started after I had to remove and reinstall my printers.
I have a number of printers on the same port ( different versions of PCL5 , PCL6, and PS drives ). In the Windows 7 Control Panel "Devices and Printers" a whole slew of versions are missing and only the latest printer installed on that port is shown. But if I open up a Print.. dialog from any of my applications the names of all the Printers are there from which I can choose.
Why does not the Control Panel "Devices and Printers" show all my printers in Windows 7 ? Under Windows Vista I can see all of them.
I downloaded the latest Windows update just a bit ago. When the comp rebooted I had an Adobe Flash update (which I installed). Rebooted, then opened Word to print out a document and it couldn't locate any printers. Tried to "Add printer" and got the error "The Active Directory Domain Services is currently unavailable."Perplexed, I decided to check my printers in Devices and Printers--and it is no longer there! Not that I click on Devices and Printers and it is black--the Devices and Printers option is no longer there when I click on the Start menu.
We have a branch where we have a server (Server 2003) and four workstations (Windows XP Professional) all part of an internal domain we'll just call "ours.internal" so that it has a name. All 5 computers print to two network printers, one monochrome, one color.All of this works just fine. There are no connectivity or authentication issues whatsoever.The four workstations are public access computers. To control print costs we have paused the printers on each workstation and Group Policy prevents the public users from accessing the "Printers and Faxes" folder to resume them.In order for the public's print jobs to actually be printed, the public user pays the staff on site and the staff person connects to the "Printers and Faxes" folder on the particular workstation, from the server, and resumes printing to print out the job, then pauses the printer again when the job is done.This method works for a lot of folks who's budget simply doesn't include funding for a better solution and it has worked flawlessly for us since implemented.Introduced a Windows 7 Professional workstation into mix. It too is a member of the domain. It too has policies applied and paused printers, so public can't just dump unwanted print jobs to the printers. I even have roaming profiles working so I can standardize the desktop and change it on a whim if I like.However:I can't see the folder that contains the printers over the network.
I have a Samsung R519 laptop, after installing windows 7 the dvd drive is not working. It is not shown in the device manager. Sometimes after a reboot it does appear in the device manager and I have tried to do the repair as stated on other forums, (remove upper and lower filters), but on all occasions there has been no upper or lower filters shown in the right hand panel. I know it is connected ok as I re-installed Vista and now have both OS and the dvd drive works ok in Vista.
een running Windows since 3.0, and am fairly comfortable poking around with anything under the hood. I've just bought my first Windows 7 computer, and it has me scratching my head on a few issues. I've done a search of the forums, but had no luck with one specific issue.I'm running Home Premium, and I have My Admin account and 2 separate user accounts. I install all programs using the Admin account. Some programs, such as Office 2010 and Adobe Reader, installed easily with the programs listed under each user's "All Programs" area on the start menu. Other programs installed and showed up under Admin's "All Programs", but will not show up in the other users' "All Programs". None of these programs asked if I wanted to install for just the active user account or for all accounts, they just installed.
I can still run these programs by doing a search and executing, so I have access to them. I know I can create shortcuts or pin them to the taskbar, but I really don't like the clutter. How can get these programs to show up under "All Programs" for all users?
Asus Sabertooth p67 Mobo Intel i7-2600k Patriot G2 - 2x4gb 1600mhz ddr3 ram Antec case Kingston 64gb V+ SSD SNVP325-S2/64GB( to boot OS) Samsung 1TB 7200RPM HDD (basically i want this as secondary to install files/programs etc)
First thing i did was install my OS on my SSD and then connected my HDD. I checked and saw that, in BIOS, my SATA was in ACHI.In boot up screen, it first shows "NO hard drive detected" and later it says that my HDD and SSD are recognized. Once fully in windows default screen. When i go to my computer i only see my SSD and not HDD.
Ive been trying to make sure that all my drivers are up to date, so I've got the program Driver Max to make sure that they are the latest versions. Ok so as I understand it, things like:
And all of those related things are what the chip set driver update's? If I'm wrong please explain how I update those things. If I'm right then why would it say they were out of date when I've gone to the Intel site and used the driver detection feature and it says I'm up to date?
I have just purchased an HP with Windows 7 and am trying to install Outlook 2000 but have a problem --Outlook installs OK but does not show up on the Program files so I can make it my default email program. I have removed Windows Mail. Also having problem in creating a personal folder. I receive two messages,
1. Outlook can not open the folder that has the files for opening, sending or receiving email. 2. Outlook can not find the personal folder to send information to.
I have been tring to setup my dvr to be able to access my security cameras from a remote location, but have not had much luck. My present problem is when I try to log into my DVR locally, using my lab top, the web service page that comes up does not look normal. There is a message that reads THIS WEB PAGE IS IN CHINESE. There is a translate button on the far right of the screen but when I click it nothing happens. To access the DVR I put the IP address of the DVR into the address bar. I have tried both wired and wireless.I do have a desktop that is hard wired to the same netgear router that the DVR is wired into and I can access the DVR locally from it with no problem.
I am tring to get the labtop to access the DVR locally before I take it out to try to access the DVR from a remote location.Notes: I just got this Wireless Netgear router a few days ago. My old router was a linksys (not wireless).. I got this Labtop from my daughter. It is about four yrs old. Running windows 7 on labtopRunning XP on desktop. I am thinking this might be an activeX problem but not sure.I am still a little green on windows 7. I went in and enabled all of the activeX options. I did this while talking to a tech from netgear
I installed an HP C4680 all in one printer on my Windows 7 desktop. I set it up to do network sharing. A lot of my computing is done via my Macbook Pro which accesses my local network wirelessly. I configured it to do remote printing via my Windows 7 desktop.Everything's been working ok there, but yesterday I found that I can no longer printer on my local printer from my Windows 7 desktop! Even trying to print a test page yields nothing. I can still scan from the scanner, and read and write SD cards from the card reader. I tried the troubleshooting wizards. I tried delting the printer, unplugging the USB cable and plugging it in again to have it reinstalled. Still no dice. One thing that I noticed, is that when the printer is reinstalled it's named "HP Photosmart C4600 series (Copy 1)". When I try to rename it to remove the "(Copy 1)" I'm given an error saying that another printer with that name already exists. However, nothing by that name shows up on my printer list.
i had a couple off folders shared, no problem we could work in them, and all was well. But now, the folders are not accessible. Also when i look at the network, i can only see my own machine. The other machine's are not there. When i try to open my shared folders, i get this message: (keep in mind that its translated)\CLOUDAFS-HZFPCLOUD is not accessible. You may not have the permission to use this network resource. contact the server administrator if you want to know if you have access permissions. The specified server can not perform the requested operation.
Typing the user name "administrator" automatically sets it from domain to local. My question is, is there something I can change, such as the registry or user profile so that a different account (such as larry) does the same as administrator, which is automatically change from domain to local upon typing the name in the user field?
I remote desktop to my work computer from my home computer. After finishing, I disconnect the remote desktop session without logging off the work computer.When I go to work, my work computer is powered on but the screen is black. Jiggling the mouse or CTRL ALT DEL does not make the screen come alive.
Under Win 7 (Home Premium 64-bit) I save login/password information for several programs, Dreamweaver 8, for example, for several sites that I manage. This worked fine for over a year after installing on win 7, but then suddenly (perhaps after a win 7 update, I don't know) that stored information disappeared and when I retype it (checking "save login/pw" ), it ALWAYS loses that information again--for other programs as well (also my email program--which is also a 32-bit program, in case that is relevant), so that I have to type the login/pw information in anew each time I restart each program. BTW, those same programs are able to save this information for those same programs on my work computer, which uses a different (32 bit) version of Win 7, and on my netbook, which also runs a lower version (Starter) of Win 7.
I'm in the midst of implementing Windows 7 Professional in a high school. Currently I'm running a Win2k3 R2 active directory where each machine has its own login. I created my cloned image and replicated it to several student computers to test. For some reason on only 1 of the machines it won't save any domain user's profile information to the hard drive in the user folder.
Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit Control Panel -> Devices and Printers show some printers (PDF995 and Microsoft XPS Document Writer) but it does not show my HP OfficeJet 4500. Applications (like IE or Firebird) show it in the list of printer and can print to it.
Edit: I forgot to mention, I am running in the Administrator account and both the laptop and the printer on the same WiFi router. The printer showed up in Device Manager after I clicked Display Hidden Devices (kind of silly to hide devices from the Administrator.)
Today I decided to install some stuff on my computer as it was out of date..I installed Java, Flash player and adobe reader X but when I go to add/remove they are not showing up in that section?
My offline files seems to work offline all the time, even when it shows me being online. I sync most of my business files to my laptop for working at home at night. When I edit a file from my Win 7 (pro, 64-bit) laptop, then go to edit it again, I get the version I had changed, but no one else does. This is causing huge difficulty, because my employees will start working in a sales forecast spreadsheet after I reconnect to the network and supposedly sync, but they don't get the latest version. Even doing a manual sync seems to make no difference.
Windows cannot load the locally stored profile. Possible causes of this error include insufficient security rights or a corrupt local profile. If this problem persists, contact your network administrator.
I have a toolbar on my taskbar titled "Programs". It has about eight folders in it. I made another toolbar, and placed it directly adjacent to the Programs toolbar, to obscure the eight folders and force it to be a dropdown menu.Trouble is, as soon as I lock my taskbar, right next to the arrow that displays the eight items of my Programs toolbar in menu-form, one of the eight items is showing up as an icon, as if the other toolbar isn't close enough to the Programs toolbar in order to completely obscure the eight items.
i protected password for my pendrive it is kingston 4gb then it showing 3.75b, but in properties it has been showing 576 kb how to get my original size (3.75gb)
i have a pc (Windows 7 build 7100) that is connected to two printers (of which one prints (HP laserjet CP1215) and one only scans (no ink)) and it shares those printer.
My Windows 7 build 7600 (on my main pc) added the scan-printer without asking me and didn't add the other one (the only one I can print). I then disconnected this one from the other pc and looked again, no install here.
While I used build 7100 with my main pc too, it asked me: "Do you want to install HomeGroup printer?" and it worked like a charm.
Now I tried to manually add this printer and it asked me for a driver.
I installed the HP drivers but still, not working. Then, when it asked me again to point to the .inf file, i selected the one HP-driver-installation installed (to my C:Program files folder) but it said this driver is from a "non-certified" publisher (or something like this, sadly I can't reproduce this so I don't remember the exact words).
I clicked "install nonetheless" because I knew it was the right driver (printer prints perfectly from all other Windows 7 workstations).
Now when I try to connect to the printer (still not showing up in "Devices and printers" it tries to connect, looks for a driver, kinda finds one and then tells me, it can't connect.
I cannot even select a new driver or anything, I can only close the window.
On all my other pcs (I only use Windows 7 since the RC) it works and worked without problems. I miss the "Install Homegroup printer" prompt and well ...
any ideas?
ah well i installed 32bit versions of the driver and now i downloaded 64bit versions, but even after installing it doesn't work and as I've said before, I cannot manually select a driver inf file anymore, so ... I can't install the printer.
Everything was running fine until today when I came to print from Word 2010 which said "word cannot print , no printer installed". The printer showed up as "ready" and was set as default. After trying the usual stuff (loose connections, firewalls and reboots etc) I opted to reinstall the printer (hp c3180). This got me nowhere with a message saying "fatal error". In the end I got a brand new canon mg2100 which also failed to install with the following message titled:RunDLL: There was a problem starting C:windowssystem32spoolDRIVERSx64cnmvsaq.dll access denied
Although I clicked ok to this at which point it said installation was complete. It still won't print any file picture or document but the new canon shows up as default. Furthermore, I am unable to uninstall the canon drivers (which show up in program's as being installed?!) as they are being used by another service" or words to that effect. I tried to install some Epsom drivers and they failed too!The only recent changes were on May 11 when a windows update completed. This may be nothing to do with it but thinking it was a problem with office I tried to uninstall office 2010 and it would not uninstall due to "corrupted files" even though I was using the disc.my last restore point was earlier today and nothing prior stored. I have the original windows disc which came with the pc. I checked the printer spooler service and it was running.
1. Driver won't install without error of some sort (different for each printer)
2. Canon driver won't uninstall due to being in use
Is it possible to "port" a printer from XP mode to Win 7? I have been able to get the printer in Win 7 to show up in Printers/Devices in XP mode but not Vice Versa.
