Universal Print Drivers In A Network With Mixed OSs
Mar 25, 2012
I installed Win7 Pro 64bit on my new build and want the new build to have access my HP 6p over my (wired) LAN. The HP 6p is connected to a machine running 32 bit XP Pro. I want to print with the HP 6p from the Win 7 Pro 64bit machine (which will be dual booted with XP Pro 64bit as soon as that OS arrives in the mail), as well as couple of other XP pro 32bit machines, and one oldster still running 2000Pro, on the network. Based on maroxur's advice url.. I've downloaded the HP Universal print drivers (PCL5, PCL6 & PS, all 64bit). I think I will need to use the PS driver because I want to be able to print from Corel Word Perfect and Adobe Pro 7, but am not sure how to load the 64bit PS driver when I can't get the Win7 Pro machine to "see" the HP 6p printer share in the XP Pro machine it's attached to. Logistically, it would be difficult to attach the HP 6p to the Win7 Pro machine, but if that's the only way (or the best way) I could do it if I can find a good USB adapter for my parallel port.My network is a "hub & spoke", from a router, if that makes any difference.
Additionally, I've been reading about the MS/HP "Printer Isolation" protocols url... and think I should probably set up the Win7 Pro machine as the print server and then use the "Isolation mode" mode for all printers in the network, but am not sure. I added the "Print Management" snap in to the MMC, but am not really sure where to go from there.

I have a HP Color Laserjet 4650 printer and I am using a Windows 7 64bit laptop, the only driver available to me is HP Universal printer on the HP website.
But the issue I am having is I can't print colour and there is no option to select it with universal driver.

Here's our setup: we have a dual-band router, broadcasting two SSIDs (which are effectively the same network). The 2.4GHz band is using 802.11g only, and the 5GHz band is a mixed 802.11A and N.
My laptop is 'AGN' compatible and connected using 802.11N. The Xbox is connected to the same SSID using 802.11A. However, the problem lies with 2 of the other laptops. Both have 'ABG' network cards, and both can connect to the 802.11G 2.4GHz network without issues, but neither of these laptops will connect to the 5GHz network using 802.11A.
If I change the network settings so that the 5GHz band is A-only, the two laptops in question above connect fine. I can't see what's wrong - both cards are set to a/b/g mode, they all support WPA2.
Is there some sort of bug/feature that prevents connecting to a mixed A/N network?
Note: one laptop is Win 7 Pro, the other is Vista HP.

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?

When I try to extract Sony Notebook Utilities, BIOS update, and other things, this stupid error keeps popping up.
Can anyone be kind enough to download the drivers, extract them, and reupload them for me? I have tried all of the extract options and none of them work.

I can't use the .exe provided because it will only install on the Vista OS, extracting it would bypass this check and force install.

I've recently had this problem where some keyboard shortcuts aren't working or are performing incorrect functions. For example, ctrl+alt+del does nothing, while ctrl+c, in Chrome, opens up the Chrome Elements tab. In fact, while typing this, my shift key has suddenly stopped working and actually prevents me from typing anything when it is held. I'm using caps lock to type capitals. Actually, it seems that some letters it works fine for (like "A"), but some letters (like "O"), it opens my Chrome bookmarks...and now shift plus C is opening that damn Chrome Elements. Shift i is doing that too.

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 recently bought an Asus RT-N16 wifi router with gigabit lan capability. I bought it for 3 reasons. 1. Gigabit lan capability.2. USB connected storage sharing.3. USB connected 3G/4G internet connectivity when wired lan fails.I have 3 PCs with gigabit Ethernet on board. The fourth one has a 100 mbps Ethernet.Now the question is this. Do all the connected PCs have to have Gigabit Ethernet capabilities to get such speeds or should I get this high speed connectivity between complying PCs?For large file transfers I used to get around 11 to 12 MB transfer rate with a 10/100 ZTE modem /switch / router. This is like saturated 100 mbps connectivity. I am not getting anything close to this with the new router.

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 have a 64 bits Windows 7 notebook installed with Samsung SCX-4725 series PCL printer. For network printing requirements, I tried to install (I am not sure) a 32 bits ZOT Network Print Server which is being used other folks in the office. When I installed the print server, a error message prompted "Failed to add network Monitor". With this message, I still could install the print driver. But upon completion, couldn't print anything with a message "Error Print". Such error message did not appeared when I installed the system under a XP or Vista 32 bits enviornment.
I wish to know what is the problem(s) here? Is it ture that I need to install a 64 bits network print driver.

I have a LAN with 2 laptops and one desktop connected. The desktop has an HP Photosmart D7160 connected via a USB port. Both laptops have had Windows 7 installed for several months. The desktop was recently upgraded from Vista to Windows 7. After the upgrade, one of the laptops will still print, but the other laptop will not. The correct printer driver has been installed on both laptops. Reinstalling the printer driver on the desktop did not help. When the desktop had Vista installed, all printing functions were fine. I suspect a network problem, but don't know how to attack it. All computers are running Kaspersky Internet Security. I have tried disabling Kaspersky on the problem laptop, but no help.

I have a laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit and A desktop running Windows 7 Pro 32 bit. The printer is connected via usb to the desktop its an Epson sx400 (not wireless)My error started about a month ago, it began with me having a problem changing the orientation in word 2010 from portrait to landscape kept getting a not responding error. When I googled this someone advised to check resource manager to find out what was causing the error word seemed to be waiting on splwow64.exe.Thought this might be just word so tried open office software same issue.Realised I could not print any longer from laptop to printer over the network as well resource manager spoolsv.exe causing the hang.I have racked my brains to think of what might have changed a few weeks ago cant think of anything same computers, same printer.

I have also allow Print permissions in the Security tab under the networked printer properties. However the spooled document print when I restart the Host computer?

I'm having sporadic issues with many users connected over the network to a print server. If the printer is their default printer the application used to print will freeze/lockup until they log out / restart their machine. The only way to fix this (from my experience) is to set their default printer to something else (like Adobe PDF) or bypass the print server completely and do it by direct TCP/IP.

I have managed to set up my CP 3525 printers by using the install disc. However when i attempt to install drivers for my 3000n, 3600n and CP2025 printers, after downloading from HP website as i don't have discs, i just get a message 'unable to connect to printer'. I can set up the 3000n as a local printer over tcpip using the same ip address as the network printer and this works as a clumsy work around but i need to be able to manage printers from the server on my 64 bit systems going forward.

I was trying to uninstall a print driver for a network printer for one of my users (Windows 7), and I ran into that issue where it tells you that it can't remove the drivers because they are still in use (this after stopped and restarting the spooler, rebooting, etc.). So I was looking at the "File Repository" for this print driverC:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\hpcu115u.inf_amd64_neutral_4a9d334b04ff58b2), and it has the same files as another folder that is pointed to under the "Driver" tab in the Print Server Properties dialogue C:\Windows\system32\spool\DRIVERS\x64\3). My questions are the following:1. What is the purpose of the File Repository folder as compared to the driver folder as listed above?. If I am unable to remove the print drivers through Print Management (using admin rights), should I manually delete the corresponding File Repository folder, should I delete the files in the corresponding folder as listed above (C:\Windows\system32\spool\DRIVERS\x64\3), neither, or both?

I want to remove print drivers and am having issues. When I go to the devices and printers and select on a any printer, then go to Print server properties, then select the drivers tab, choose a driver I want to remove and select remove. When I choose the next few settings and then get to the removal section, it gives me an issue that I cannot delete because in use.
