Cannot Install Wireless Printer?
May 14, 2011
Have a wireless Lexmark printer for three computers, (His, Hers, Laptop). All were working great. I set up (tried) Homegroup. Piece of cake for Hers and Laptop. His gets "This computer cannot connect to a Homegroup" message - another problem. Hers tried to do 2-sided printing, used to work great but could not now. I noticed that the printer on Hers was now named Laptop. We only use the Laptop for traveling. So I removed Laptop printer on Hers and tried to add the printer. Now I cannot add the printer, it tries, gets to the "installing printer popup and hangs forever with no CPU usage. I cannot cancel. The only way to go on is to restart. Have tried the following all without success. Deleted the printer and the printer drivers. Installed the drivers from DVD. Tried to add printer. Hangs as described above. Plus tried everything else I could think of, removing printer, adding printer, etc.

I have a canon printer (couple years old) and a Brothers printers connected to a computer with Vista 32bit. I just purchased a laptop that has windows 7 64bit. I can connect via wireless network to my Vista computer just fine. I was able to connect to and install the brother printer but when I try to install the canon printer I get a message something like this "Cant find INI file, will look in windows update" after a while it comes back and says It can find INI file. Probably it is because my Vista is 32 bit and my laptop Windows 7 64bit. But I did not have this problem with my brother printer. How do I install the canon printer?

Had two Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit computers with wireless connection (Linksys router) to a Lexmark X9575 printer with no problems. Moved, got Verizon FIOS with a Ultraline 9100EM router. Was able to get (with a lot of hassle) computer 1 to wireless print. (Can't say at this point exactly what I did but the problem was with jobs being stuck in the printer queue. Had to restart the spooler several time and has worked since.) Wireless indicator on printer is full green. I cannot get computer 2 to install a wireless (or even a USB) printer.
I have tried everything I know to get it to work, Uninstalled with Yourununstaller - Super mode, (many times) downloaded new 64 bit driver, gone thru install process (many times) Goes to end of install process, says printer is ready for use, but does not work. Tried "Wireless Configurator" also, no go. Control panel - Devices & Printers shows icon with yellow triangle & !. (Says "Series 9500") Properties show "Manufacturer" and "Model" as "Unknown". Seems that there is no driver for this printer. Windows update has no driver for this printer.

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'm looking into purchasing a new printer. However, the one I am interested in only has up to wireless G. I'm just looking for some opinions. Do you believe I'd be better off with one that has wireless N?

My problem is that I had to have a new wireless modem installed from ATT it is a 2wire892. I ran a wireless network test and it still has the old network name on it. I have a hp c4500 series all in one printer. Tried reloading everything and nothing. I also have another laptop that is a Acer Travelmate c310, windows xp service pack 3 on it. They both show the printer and I can hit the print button, the printer will just not print from the wireless computers. [code]

My Partner is a professor at a major university and conducts a consulting business from home. We have 2 old desktops and a new HP Pavilion notebook on our home wireless network. The new notebook was set up by a University tech person 12/10 and was functioning properly. All the computers are linked to our older hp Laser Jet 1300 PCL 6 printer. One day the notebook froze and when rebooted it had lost its connection to the printer. I have done everything I know and followed numerous "geek" instructions to reconnect. So far I have succeeded only in losing my own printer access on my old Dell Dimension 2400 desktop. Prior to that, however, both old desktops were printing, even as the new notebook did not. Connection to the Internet is fine and the signal strength from the new Belkin router is "Excellent".

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 an HP desktop running Windows XP Pro and I network to an HP notebook through a wireless router.I recently purchased a Gateway Laptop with windows 7 Home Premium. It found my wireless router immediately and I was able to get on the net. It also found my HP desktop so I could share files.The problem I am having is with my network printer. It is an older epson stylus photo r320. Epson says that windows 7 has a driver for this printer and if I plug the printer directly into the laptop using the usb connection wiindows 7 finds the printer no problem. If I try and have windows 7 locate the printer on the network it can't find it.

I have a wireless printer installed and am running my laptop with Windows 7. Everytime I reboot the laptop, it fails to find the printer and marks it as offline. Sometimes I can restore it by deleting and then re-adding the printer from the control panel. The printer is a new HP wireless model, and I have installed the driver successfully, I should not have to re-install this everytime. Is this a Windows 7 issue

When I needed to print something, I went back & plugged in my printer, But for some reason my laptop isn't communicating with my printer? Laptop: Asus G60JX.Printer: Epson Stylus R800 Photo.I also went to epson's web site & re-downloaded the driver to no avail.

Wireless printer had been configured to laptop via netgear router and wired to desktop as well. netgear router crapped out and was replaced with previously owned linksys wireless router; laptop no longer communicates with printer.

I've installed the printer software on my laptop and successfully tested the ability to print when connected via USB. I also added the computer as a wireless connection. When I try to print wirelessly, nothing happens. The document just sits in the queue.I do not currently have the printer hooked up to anything but power. Am I wrong in thinking I should be able to print without a computer attached to the printer? If not, how can I troubleshoot this? Printer is HP c3180 AIO and laptop is HP Pavilion DV6.

I've had the worst luck with this HP Officejet 6500.or some reason my computer always sees it as "offlineWell the only way to get it back online is to delete the old printer & add a "New Printer" via Devices & Usually that works even though it's severely a pain in the a**!But now my computer isnt even seeing the printer at all any more to add?I've restarted my computer twice, turned on/off the printer a few times, re-synced the printer within the wireless router successfully & it still isnt showing up.I really need this up & running asap to finish my work, but I also need to get to the bottom of the problem of this stupid thing going "offline" and making me re-add a new printer.It makes using the computer so frustrating. It happens a couple of time a week maybe.

My daughter has an XP PC and an XP laptop that talks OK to a wireless printer. She now has a Win7 laptop. Am I right in thinking that the Win7 laptop cannot be made to 'see' the wireless printer because it has been set up on XP? It would be helpful to know before I get over there to spend some time investigating.
