I've spent the last day running in circles trying to find a simple solution. I have two Win 7 machines located a few hundred miles apart. I currently have computer A (Local) connecting to computer B (remote) via UltraVNC. This works perfect except, when printing documents, I need to print to my local printer, which means on my remote machine I need to add a printer that is physically here locally. I've looked at IIS, IPP, Google Cloud drive, another service which costs. I think IPP could be the answer, but I can't find any step-by-step style of instructions out there. I have a limited understanding of this stuff, so really looking for a detailed solution.
I am trying to share my internet connection thru my laptop wit my ps3 but iyz not working for some reason.when I search for a network wit my game it finds the ip address but no internet connection.
internet connection sharing: No internet access!?I am trying to setup internet connection sharing between my laptop (Connected to WiFi) and my pc which has no wireless connection. I've spent a day or two troubleshooting problems such as 'LAN' doesn't have valid configuration and such, i found a solution and I've got the two connections to be able to see each other, but i can't get an internet connection to go through.I have my ipconfig /all for both computers available: (Both have had excess trimmed off to save on character limit)[CODE]

I have a wireless home network. DLink Router. Desktop PC, Windows 7, (64 bit) . Notebook, Vista, (32 bit). Epson Stylus C66, USB connection to Desktop. Trying to set up printer sharing for the notebook. On the desktop, keep running into error code 0x000006d9. I've Googled this problem and followed possible solutions, disabling firewalls, etc., no avail.
ISSUE: Trying to print to a printer with it's drivers installed on an XP computer.I have 6 computers running (not all the time), 3 laptops and 3 desktops. I'll number them for ease of ID.1. Dell Laptop running W2K. Hardwired.2. Gateway Laptop running XP. Wireless.3. HP Laptop running W7 Ultimate. Wireless.4. Desktop ATX running XP similar to a server where I keep the big apps, printer drivers and backups, not used for web surfing. Hardwired.5. Dell 1100 desktop running XP used mostly for surfing and downloads. If I get a virus I just reformat and reload XP. Hardwired.6. Compaq desktop running XP. Hardwired.When I use Window Explorer to look at all the computers on my home LAN, I get the following.Systems: 1, 2, 5 and 6, see all 6 systems, one being itself.System: 4 with the printer drivers sees the other five, but not itself.System: 3 sees 1, 2, 3 (itself), 5 and 6. Does not see #4. On this #4 I have three printers' drivers installed.I can print from 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 to any of the three printers. But not from #3 which is running W7. I tried adding printer and driver as per plethora of instructions on the web without success. But since it does not see system #4, the printers are not available to choose.
Well i used to not have a problem when all the machines were XP but now when i try and add the printer its saying that i dont have the correct driver installed on the main PC when im trying to add the shared printer on my XP machine.
I want to share a printer with another wired computer on my home network. Sorry haven't a clue and didn't find anything with the search except broad examples. Is there a tutorial. It would be from a Windows 7 machine on a wireless router to a W8 machine wired in.
In my office there are 2 desktop (Windows 7 & XP) computers and 2 laptops (Windows 7 & XP). These computers are connected to BSNL wifi router (ADSL) which has intermittent internet connection. I have also installed 2 printers on the desktop computers, one being deskjet (Windows 7) and the other laser (XP comp). On the XP system (desktop) i've enabled printer sharing.
PS: desktop computers are connected by RJ-45 and laptops by WiFi Issue :
successfully configured other PC for printer sharing. Now the issue is as i said earlier due to intermittent internet connection remaining 3 computers are unable to print laser printer when the net is down however it works fine.
What can be done..?? Also on the XP sys (desktop) i would also like to enable a particular folder to be shared.
i cannot seem to get my Printer sharing ( Using HP PSC 1610 ALL-IN-ONE). My printer is connected through usb on windows xp 32bit and want to share printer on windows 7 x64bit windows vista x32bit.
Ive set up the sharing part on xp and windows 7 side, but i cannot seem to connect it. The problem may be that whenever i click on x64 driver to install ( I click sharing in my printer (HP PSC 1610 ALL-IN-ONE ) and click additional Drivers and tick x64 and click next it prompts me to install the driver using a cd..ive tried windows vista 32bit windows xp 32bit windows 7 x64 bit..no luck).
So i try moving the printer on windows 7. It installs the drivers x64bit one, The version is HP PSC 1600 SERIES VERSION 6.1.7600.16385 installed on 64bit as it says in Administrative Tools > Print Management > Printer servers > Comp name( Local) > Drivers and it says x64 and if i wanna add a driver it still ask me for a cd when i tick x32bit driver.
Ive tried so many methods to connect my printer over lan..Local port etc nothing works.
Can someone give me instructions on how to fix this so i can share printer over my network.
This is the part i get stuck on..when i click on x86 or x64 it ask for driver..so if my printer was ocnnected to windows 7 x64 bit i needed to install x86 so it would work on xp and Vice versa
Basically I'm trying to share a hp psc 1215 printer on my windows xp machine with my windows 7 machine.
The printer uses usb and is plugged in to the xp machine which is connected to a router my 7 machine connects to it witlessly and so far the 7 machine can use it and send print jobs to it. But the problem i encounter is i cant access the printer preferences and so can not change paper size or any other features from my 7 machine. Every time i go to open them from the device and printer panel the window appears and then goes again. Can anyone help me find a solution.
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 want to share my MP540 printer on a PC with Windows 7 Home x32 to use it on my other PC with a Windows 7 Pro x64.
The printer seems shared fine on Home x32 but I couldn't able to install it (nothing found when Pro x64 PC try to browse a shared printer on the network).
My network setup has nothing special. A simple router and it's done. Earlier (when both machine has XP x32, there weren't any problem (just clicked on the printer to share, and voila, the other PC found it, no need to change/click/setup etc. anything...
I found an option window on x32 to install some drivers (?) (where you can tick a "x64 ....blabla") but it needs some install disk (maybe .nfo files?) for the printer.
I have move the printer to my x64 PC, plug in it, and install went fine. So, both machine probably has the appropriate drivers...
I just reformatted my desktop with 7 and I wanted to share the attached HP PSC2355 wirelessly to my Vista lappy. I had this connected and functioning previously when the desktop was running XP but now I cant seem to get my lappy to connect to the 'home-group' to find the printer. I found some other posts of sharing a printer on a vista machine over to 7 but not from 7 over to vista. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
My printer is attached via USB. I can get my printer installed in both Windows 7 and XP mode. In XP mode it shows as shared in USB devices. However, it is online in Windows 7 and can be used, but offline in XP mode. If I click Attach it will work in XP mode, but then shows as offline in Windows 7 and can't be used. Integration features the Printers box is check, as well as enable at startup.
Is it possible to use the printer on both machines without havind to attach and unattach it?
I just bought a Dell Inspiron 4010, 64 bit with Windows 7 Ultimate as the OS. The HP 3015 Laserjet is connected via a XP machine (old one). I have downloaded the drivers from the HP site. The printer shows on the network but am not able to print from the machine. Am at my wits end trying to figure out how to work this one out.
Okay I have two computers. They're both running win7 64bit home premium. The laptop seems fine and can file and printer share. So basically I'm trying to share my printer on my desktop pc connected through the usb as so I can print from my laptop.They seem to connect to each other and both are in the same homegroup. But I keep getting the can't connect to printer error. But it works if I do it the opposite way which is connect printer to laptop and network the printer through desktop. So it seems to be the settings or something on my desktop PC.The only folder I can access over the network on my desktop PC is the public folder. All the other folders say "access is denied". So there seems to be going on with my permissions,access,etc from my desktop PC. I already selected the folders I want to share and selected share with homegroup(read/write).
I have an HP Laserjet 2300 Series PCL6 printer connected directly to a Windows XP machine. On the same network, I have a new machine running Windows 7. I want to share the printer over the network.
Question: Am I wasting my time trying to get this to work?
FYI, Windows 7 sees the shared printer but when it attempts to connect in the "Add a Printer" dialog, it gives me a "No driver found" alert. I downloaded the (hopefully) appropriate Windows 7 printer driver (*) from the HP site and installed it on my Windows 7 machine, but when I try to connect, I still get "No driver found."
(*) HP Universal Print Driver for Windows PCL5 x64
Windows 7 computer working fine - printer working fine (it's a canon ip5200). On Windows XP machine (SP3), I am trying to access the printer. I've tried this a couple of ways and it fails every time.
1) Drill down to printer via the Add Printer searchj for a network printer action. This eventually will ask me to point to an INF file that I don't have (unpacking Canon's printer driver installer to get to the 'ip5200.inf' file will eventually get me a 'Invalid printer file' error even though I can see that the inf file looks like an inf file.
2) Try to add it as a local printer, pointing to the network path (etworkprinter). That installs OK, but it doesn't work.
3) Try to install a network printer giving it a network path. See #1.
What in the heck am I doing wrong? I cannot get Windows7 to add the Windows XP drivers to it's list so I can install it via the network.
I am trying to install a program (Hach DataTrans), but the program insists that "Printer & file sharing are not installed". I have gone to Network and Internet/Network and Sharing Center/Advanced sharing settings and have turned on network discover and file and printer sharing for both the public profile (current profile) and the Home or Work profile. The error still pops up.
I have a Windows 7 Pro PC with Local Printer Installed & a Vista Ultimate PC that is networked to the Windows 7 local printer.All has been working fine until today when the Vista PC would not print. I deleted the networked printer in Vista & tried to re-add it but it cannot find the networked printer.I noted that the Print & File Sharing was not Enable on my Win 7 PC but when I enable it it will not remain set when I return to check the setting.I tried enabling it in Safe Mode w/Networking but it will not remain enabled.Firewall setting are all normal (no changes in settings)I don't have any infections of virus (online scan) & I use Windows Security Essentials for my AV prog.I've not installed any new apps?
Does anyone have any idea how to get a Mac Powerbook (10.4.11) to connected to a Printer (HP Officejet 4215) that is connected to a PC (Windows 7100) through a Linksys Router (WRT54GS)?
I've got printer sharing enabled on the PC and have tried so many things that I'd rather not post everything here.
If there is anybody that knows of a surefire way to get this working, I would appreciate it .
I have two new win 7 computers, one new network HD and 2 usb printers. What is the easiest way to setup a home network so any and all computers can see and use all HD's and printers on a new Win 7 network?
I have a small network connected via a router.I have 2 printers connected to a computer running on windows 7.i want to share it with a computer running XP on the network.Can this be done??PS:-i am not that educated in networking so you will have to break it down for me.
I am running Windows 7 Professional Connected to an HP Laserjet 1020. I am trying to share this printer with network printers as of now file sharing works seamlessly on vista, and other windows 7 machines.
On windows 7 machine an error pops up when trying to connect to printer
On vista machine printer is connected however when jobs are sent to the printer it sits in the queue until restart.
I have 2 Laptops running under XP and 2 Laptops running under Win 7, I run the XP under workgroup with Mshome name and these 2 laptops can access files from each other, similar under Homegroup, the Win 7 laptops can see each other.
The XP laptops CANNOT see the laptops under win 7, and vice versa. I read the How-to Geek article a few times , I tried to change the name MShome under XP to Workgroup, even then the win 7 and xp cannot see each other. Even worse the XP laptops cannot access each other.
I have 5 computers networked. 3 are Win 7 and 2 are XP Pro SP3.
The printer is connected to an XP machine and can be seen by all computers.
They are all in the same workgroup.
The 2 XP computers can share the printer normally and as long as the machine with the printer is on I can print without problems.
The 3 Windows 7 machines cannot.
I have tried all tricks I found here. I added the printer to Windows 7 as a local printer and added a local port that points to the XP machine (//XPComputer/Printer). That didn't work either and it seems to be the way people get it to work between XP and Windows 7.
I tried adding a network printer and although it sees the printer in the printer list, it hangs adding the printer or after adding the printer I get error 0x0000000d or 0x00000716. I looked these up but couldn't find anything that helped me solve the problem.
There seems to be some sort of authentication issue between the XP machine and the Windows 7 ones.
One tidbit of information, the XP machines are both using NetBEUI. Not sure if that is causing the issue or not. Haven't tried to disable it.
I am running Win7x64 and a HP7350 Photosmart printer. To get the printer to work the Windows 7 driver is used for a Deskjet 5550. Works fine. I would like to use the printer on my Linksys network as it did when my desktop was an XP. The driver is only available through the Windows 7 OS, not as a download for Windows 7. the download for XP doesn't work. The driver is incompatible. Is there a way around this?
