Windows 7 And Printer Sharing On Domain - Labels Or Envelopes Won't Print
Jun 22, 2011
I have just upgraded the 8 pcs in my office from XP Pro to Windows 7 Pro 32bit and I've encountered printer sharing issues. I have a local mono laser connected to my PC by USB. I've shared this and others have been able to add the printer and on occasion print to it, it usually works when they want to print text to A4 but when they want to do labels or envelopes they usually sit in the queue and don't print. This is not an issue we had on XP and the document templates haven't changed. I don't think it is an issue with the printer (I've replaced it with a new one to make sure), I don't think it is an issue with the documents. I think it is an issue with Windows 7 and was wondering if there is a known issue or fix. The computers are connected over a domain not workgroup.

My computer was just updated from XP to WIn 7 and now my printer will not print envelopes. It used to automatically but now it says to change settings and when I do, it does not recognize it.

I can't print Avery labels on my laser HL 2140 Brothers printers. I go into Word 2010 under Mailings click on Labels put in 48263 for a 2X4 put in my address and I get an Error (A red light) and it won't print. I have a color laser printer that will print these labels but is there reasons why this printer won't are is it something I might be doing wrong?

I have never needed to do this until recently, but would like to design and print my own CD labels and the covers that go into the plastic boxes. I have Windows 7 Ultimate on my PC, but am concerned that there seem to be loads of free software, but have no idea what is good or bad.
I want to produce good quality with my own logo and possibly photo on the cover and don't mind if I have to pay for software.

I'm running Word 2010 on Windows 7 x64. I've merged addresses in an Excel workbook to an envelope document using the standard mail merge wizard. I'd like to print these 10 at a time since that's all I can fit in my printer's feed tray. I click on Finish & Merge and then Print Documents and enter the range to print. Regardless of the starting record I enter, it always starts printing from the first record. I'm using an HP CP2025 Color LaserJet.

I am trying to share a folder from (server 1) on (domain 1) to another computer linked to (server 2) on (domain 2). I have taken the following steps and can't get past the last one:ExplorerNetwork(server 1)Here it won't show the files available to be shared on (server 1) until I put in a password. I have credentials to log in to that server to get access but I don't know how to type the username and password. I have tried username@domain (which worked on a windows xp) & just the username and password, but it doesn't allow me through. so my question is:

My network at home is a mix of Mac's and PC's. So when I decided to start messing with Windows 7 on the box that I was using for print sharing I as well as file sharing I didn't realize that I would have such a hard time using my Win 7 box to share printers with my Mac's. Has anyone else had any experience trying to share on win 7 box to Mac's? I have been able to find shared files but for some reason my Mac's will not find the printers?

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.

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).

Soon I will install Windows 7, I like to share my printer.
The printer should be used by a Windows XP computer.
I read some treads in this forum about how to share the printer, but I was wondering if sharing everything without a password is a good practice?

I downloaded Windows 7 RC 64 Bit Build:7100.0.090421-1700 x64.
After I installed it, I only had to install my wireless network drivers and Windows 7 downloaded the rest of all of my system. I did not have to install any driver at all.
My problem is when I try to print from my Vista 32 laptop nothing prints to my printer. Under active documents listed for my printer it just says under status | Error - Printing.
Under the ports tab on my Vista 32 laptop, the check is in the box [Windows 7 64][printer] | Local Port
Under the ports tab on my Window 7 64 Desktop, the check is in the box USB001 | Virtual printer port for USB
The 64 bit drivers for my printer are on the Windows 7 64 Desktop and the 32 bit drivers are on the Vista 32 laptop.
I do not know why I cannot share printing.
On Windows 7 64, share this printer is checked and Render print jobs on client computers is checked.
I know this seems to be a much talked about problem but I tried the best I could to follow the posted suggestions.
My Desktop has a Canon iP4600 printer.
My desktop's computer name is AGP-001 and the printer share name is CanoniP4.

I have a Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit computer which I will call the main PC. An HP LaserJer is directly connected to it, and shows up as the default printer. About a month ago, it stopped responding to print jobs. They show up in the "jobs pending" list, but do not print. If I try to print to that printer from another PC on the network, the document shows up in the pending list, but then says "Error" and will not print either.If I connect the printer to a different PC, it will print. If I try to print to the printer connected to another PC from the main PC, it will not print. The print spooler is running. There are only restore points from the past week or so, and this started happening over a month ago

I have a HP PSC 3550 connected to my Mac and I have successfully added this printer to Windows 7.

This is the event log entry:
The document Untitled - Notepad, owned by Mark, failed to print on printer \MACS-COMPUTERHP PSC 2350 series. Try to print the document again, or restart the print spooler. Data type: NT EMF 1.008.

Note that if I connect the printer directly to my Windows 7 machine I can print from Wordpad and Notepad.

Some of our office computers will not print to our networked printer and the message says "toner low - offline". Other computers can print to the printer at the same time with no problem.

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 am running Windows 7 Ultimate and sharing a printer to other laptops running in the household using Vista and XP. I installed sp1 last weekend and then laptops stopped being able to print. Spent 3 hours on it yesterday and finally rolled back and things are now working again.I did notice that after sp1 my home group had been changed back to the "MSHOME" default. After changing it back to the exiting name, I could see the network printer and also edit files on any of the machines I had set access for. I also could set the print on the Vista release and my desktop with 7 would work just fine so no network issues. When I moved the printer back to 7, the Vista laptop would get an error while trying to load the drivers.

I have 3 systems each running Windows 7 Ultimate on a home network (not a home group). I have an HP Laserjet 1022 attached via USB to system #3 (32 bit). System #1 is 64 bit and #2 is 32 bit. System #2 prints fine on system #3. When system #1 (64 bit) prints, the entry is made into the print queue of #3, but never prints. I've tried restarting the print spooler to no avail. Print entry from #1 cannot be cancelled. I have to manually delete the spooler entry for the print job from C:/Windows/system32/spool/PRINTERS.Without getting into finger pointing at HP, is there a problem with the printing software in Windows 7 when OS word sizes are mixed ? Is the HP Laserjet 1022 driver too old to be used (the driver states it was modified this current year)?

I built it mainly for my 14yo to do school work and video games on rather to replace our aging desktop which is still used also. The old machine runs 32-bit Vista while the new one is 64-bit Win7, of course. In our reorganization we moved our Canon MP610 printer to be hooked up to the new machine, but it'd be great if we could share it amongst both pc's and my older son's new laptop. I've search and read lots of sites online, but can't really find a solution to get the old pc to be able to "see" the printer to share.

Have a Canon ip6000d printer hooked up to a Win7 32bit machine. I installed the "printer add-on module" for Win7 on this machine and it prints fine. I share it across the network so that I can print from my Win7 64bit laptop but I can not install the driver for it. The laptop sees the printer when I try to "add a printer" but it looks for a 64bit driver. So I installed the "printer add-on module" onto the laptop, and still nothing, it continues to look for a driver. So I then directly connected the printer (usb) to the laptop, it installed itself and works perfectly fine. So I reconnected it back to the 32bit machine and tried to "add a printer" again over the network and it still asks for the 64driver. I can't find a regular .inf driver file anywhere for this printer, just the damn "printer add-on module".

Is it possible to set up a shared printer with one laptop running Windows 7 and the other laptop running Vista? I have tried setting all the required sharing settings on both units, but without success!

I bought a NETGEAR DGN2200 modem/router to connect my 2 laptops, printer, USB HDD for file storage and sharing, and at this stage I'm not sure if I will connect my desktop PC as it is a much older machine with Windows 2000 Pro which I don't want to access the internet, although I am thinking that it would be better to have the printer connected via the desktop as this is logically a more permanent setup. Hard wired ADSL will be connected in about 2 weeks.I was having a bit of a play with the router to familiarise myself with it all and I managed to set it up so that my main laptop (Windows 7) has the option to connect by hardwire or wireless, my second laptop (winXP) conects through wireless. Both laptops successfully connected
I connected the printer to my second laptop (winXP) to see if I could have access to the printer from my main laptop (Windows 7). It could see the printer but not access it and kept trying to search for the diver. As I hadn't installed the drivers onto this laptop I thought that if I download the driver and install it, then it won't look for it through windows update via the router.For this to happen, I had to disconnect from the LAN and connect to the internet via my USB modem (the two won't work simultaneously).So I connected the printer to my main laptop and allowed it to find the driver online itself.
I then connected the printer back into the second laptop (winXP) and tried to access it from my main laptop and the same thing happened, it wanted to search windows update again. After failing to find anything through the windows update, it gives the option of browsing for the .inf file on the computer, and although I spent a while trying to locate where the file was I was unsuccessful.I also am unable to share files between the two laptops, although I have turned file and print sharing on with both laptops. I have seen options to set up workgroups (winXP) and homegroups (Windows 7), but the two are not compatible.
