I tried searching this before couldn't find a thread with the issue I have...
1) Windows 7 64bit has a Samsung ML-2510 USB printer installed
2) I shared the printer in Windows 7
3) x64 drivers are installed but could not installed x86 drivers. It keeps saying the driver is not for the processor architecture (using the driver I used for WinXp)
4) In Advanced Sharing Options, I enabled Sharing and disabled password. I only have one account with no password, on Win 7 Machine.
5) Windows Xp laptop is a work machine and part of a domain, so I can NOT change the workgroup to "Workgroup"
6) Tried installing the printer using Win7MachineSamsung command in Winxp run dialog
7) Printer windows opens up showing "Initializing" and then get 'ready'
8) NOTHING happens when I try to print a test page.
Is there a way I can use the printer? I used to be able to print without any problem, when I was on XP.
My printer is not printing. Everything seems to be perfectly fine (ink, paper, port plugged in) and the status of the Printer Spooler says it is Started and Running (Services). I did a Windows diagnostic on it and it says that nothing's wrong with it.
Can someone for the life of me please explain how i go about updating the driver as the default one seems to print graphics realy badly, compared to what the printer is capable off.
I have tried going to device manager, its not listed or im pretty sure its not.
i have tried going to the printer propertives through the Printer and Devices window, no update driver option there?
Thought it might be of interest for anyone else with this 5 year old printer to know that on my system it works with XP drivers (downloaded from the Samsung site) but NOT Vista drivers.
Right-click on the driver file, select Troubleshoot Compatibility, and follow the instructions.
I have windows 7 and i've downloaded latest drivers for Samsung ml2240 printer. When I start to install, I got error "the arguments are invalid". How to fix this?
I have a Dell Vostro laptop running windows 7 64bit. Up until a week ago all was workinh fine and has been for some time. Then my printer stopped being recognized and Windows reported it was due to code 43. I've tried the normal options - unistall universal bus controllers, take laptop battery out etc but nothing fixes it.
I need alternative driver for samsung ml-1210 printer. Win 7 has a lot of samsung drivers but not the one I need. Any suggestions or help is apreciated..
I 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.
having moved once and having add and removed computers from my home network, along with other changes, I now have a cluttered Printer Selection Window, by which I mean the window that pops up when I want to print a document. I have five versions of a Brother printer and four versions of an HP printer, and only one of each is actually good. How do I clean up that window by getting rid of those obsolete references that no longer work? It's ridiculous that they don't simply disappear when I select one of them as the default.
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".
I use Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. My problem is: Whenever I try to print something (word, pdf, or any other file); printer spooler stops working and when I check the Devices and Printers all the printer drivers seem to be disappeared. I checked the Print Spooler" in the Services tool; and set the "Recovery after subsequent failures" option to Restart the Serviceā. Therefore all the printer drives coma back after 1 minute. However the spooler stops immediately again when the uncompleted printing job starts; hence I can not print anything more than a page. Earlier in this forum, someone posted that Microsoft issued a hotfix for this problem ( hotfix 2388142) which can be downloaded from article: [URL]. I downloaded this hotfix and tried to install, however it gives an error message of: The update is not applicable to your computer and quits installation. I did uninstall and reinstall all the printer drives, but this did not help either.
I have 2 computers on my home network. My desktop is running Windows 7 ultimate 32 bit and I have a kodak 5500 Aio connected to it. I also have a laptop that's running windows 7 home premium 64 bit that connects wireless. I was able to print until today and now I can't print from the laptop. I can see the printer in the add printer window but comes up with cannot connect with error of 0x0000000d
