I'm having trouble printing from anything other than "windows desktop 1" (exclude "xbox 360 & Apple TV) So I need to know how to setup printing on the "macbook pro", "Windows laptop" & "windows desktop 2" These computer (except the macbook) all were connected once and I did have home group successfully connected to share the printer between them all as long as "windows desktop 1" was on. But now there in the setup in the pic and the home group and printers don't communicate with each other anymore.

what do i need to do to be able to print from my macbook air to my epson r280. i have a wireless network set up. computer attached to the printer is a dell running windows xp home edition
is it possible to set up communication between my desktop Windows 7 machine and my MacBook Pro so that I can access files stored on my windows pc via my Mac?I have most of my music/movies stored on the desktop and want to be able to access them around the house on my mac.Tried searching for a way with no luck,I vaguely remember having had a connection set up automatically when I had a windows 8 laptop, so I would imagine its possible to do this.
My father works at a mall in a shop and had bought a Brother 2270DW printer (wireless and wired networking) to find that it was a bit bigger than he had anticipated it to be and does not fit on his kiosk desk, and so gave the printer to me yesterday. He was wondering if it is possible to setup the printer so that it could be printed to from over the internet. After I reserved a DHCP IP address for the printer, changed 'admin' and 'user' passwords, and disabled some protocols, I made sure IPP was enabled and that port 631 (TCP) was forwarded on my DD-WRT router.
I added the printer as my external IP address [URL] in Windows, selected the correct driver as provided by Windows Updates, and attempted to send a test page without success.This would be my first time trying to setup a printer for over-the-Internet printing (aka IPP).what I could do to try get this to work?
The scenario I am facing is, trying to have the ability to print from my laptop computer remotely to my home printer which supports IPP.What I did so far was to make sure that I enabled IPP in the printer. So the URL is 192.168.1.101:631. (I am able to connect and print to the printer on local network usinghttp://192.168.1.101:631.) I then went into my router and enabled port forwarding for that address and made sure to specify port 631. It doesn't work. I took the following steps: (It works neither with XP or 7)Windows 7 Steps:1. Start-Devices and Printer2. Add a printer3. Add a network, wireless or Bluetooth printer4. Clicked "The printer that I want isn't listed5. Choose "Select a shared printer by name" Below is the scheme I followedWhat is the proper way of setting this to function properly so that I can print to my computer remotely. I want to be able to print to the printer directly and not through a server or another computer. Is this even possible?
I need to be VPN'd in to work all day but during the day I need to print to my home network printer. The work around has always been to press print then disconnect from VPN, wait for the document to finish then reconnect VPN. This is starting to get on my nerves and I was hoping that there was a way to be on VPN through my physical LAN and maybe print over my wireless network. Is there a way to separate traffic in Windows 7?
I have a broadband ADSL modem and the internet is connected to the computer yet it is not registering with the macbook book. It says that the internet is connected but as soon as I go onto Safari, it says the internet is not connected.I urgently need internet on my macbook!
My printer is hard wired to my wireless router, allowing me to print wirelessly from my laptop. After successfully printing this way, it is no longer working. I have tried re-installing the software, however, it is unable to "find" the printer. I have tried this from 2 laptops with no success. My wireless router appears to be working as far as internet.
From my Dell Vostro laptop I can connect to the internet but cannot print wirelessly on any of my three printers. The Mac computer in the house works on one printer.Not really sure where to start working on this problem.
A weird issue that came up a couple weeks ago, about 15 users that print to network printer via IP. The printer is attached to a print controller with all print jobs are spooled to. So when a user prints, lets say three pages, it spools to the windows queue and each page takes about 1.5min to get to the print controller queue, when it would only take a few seconds to spool. Different switches, print drivers..etc have been tried and narrow it down to one thing. When working with the NAS server plugged into the switch, that's when it takes long but when unplug from the NAS, prints come out fast like normal. how to find out if the NAS is broadcasting some crazy traffic? but it seems that it's only affecting this printer, other printers that don't have a controller print out fine and fast.
A friend has asked me to work with him set up a new office. He already has a PC and a phone line but not broadband, so he is going to organise that and getting a wireless router.He wants a wireless colour laser printer so that his visitors/guests can print easily from his office, or the next office. Does he really need a wireless printer to do this? Or if I plug a network printer directly into his router with an Ethernet cable, same with his PC, will that enable laptop users to print wirelessly (assuming they know the router passphrase of course)? I guess they would need to install the relevant printer driver to do this too.
how to share my pc's internet wireless connection with my macbook pro in order to get the mac online. The pc is an hp wireless laptop, the router/modem is a cisco.do I just connect the macbook through the router.
Does the Apple MacBook Air MD224LL/A have an integrated wireless network (Airport or otherwise) that will enable it to connect to the internet, even though the specs do not mention Airport?
My MacBook works fine with my linksys router and RR internet. My wife's toshiba laptop running vista establishes a connection, but will not browse the net. My neighbor says she's having the same problem with her PC when trying to connect to my router (we live very close together).
I can not connect my new Mac Book Pro to Verizon wireless. I have no trouble connecting my old Mac to it, so what is the problem with the new Mac. I have to use the ethernet wire which is a problem when I am so use to wireless.
My Network is gone from my list of available networks on my MacBook. I use s NETGEAR router, my network name is simply "NETGEAR" i have never named it anything else since installing this over 4 years ago. I have unplugged the power cord, waiting several minutes before plugging it back in. Also tried unplugging both the cable and the power cord. The router has no small "pin hole" that i can see in order for me to try to re-set it this way. It has literally disappeared from my Mac. Do i need to re-install using my NETGEAR cd?
I have walked into a company that has several small (1-4 PC's each) remote locations, and they all connect to Terminal Server to use our POS app. This app will not keep redirected printers saved between each session, so in order to save the printers, they have software VPN's set up on each client, then the local printers are installed on the server through a Local Port using the VPN ipaddressprinter share name. This allows the printers to be saved in the program and not re-assigned each session. Now, let's say that I have implemented a new desktop replacement procedure, and we are now in phase one of said procedure. I have purchased Windows 7 64-bit desktops. After setting up my deployment standards and testing in-house, I placed one of these PC's in the field. This is where I learned the issues of printing from a 32-bit server to a 64-bit client. I have not been able to successfully print to the printer installed on the server using the Local Port of the client, print job errors out. I have done some research, and found the issues with printing from 32-bit to 64-bit, and have installed all the additional drivers I can find, with no success.
I am trying to protect the computing assets on a perimeter firewalled / protected LAN from visiting laptops while still permitting the laptops wifi internet access and printing priviledges on the LAN's networked HP printer To do that I was thinking of setting up a computer as a dedicated firewall with 3 NICs (external internet, internal LAN and a DMZ for a Guest wifi router for use by the visiting laptops). (Will probably use free Untangle Firewall software software or such on the dedicated firewall computer).What I can't figure out is the firewall's topology, IP ranges and rules / forwarding that would permit such laptop operation.I would think it would be a common need for small offices but can't find much material on the subject.I do understand that such would slightly weaken the firewall but feel that I would gain more security overall.
Shared printer not printing. Have two PCs, one with Vista OS with the printer connected and the other XP, both connected via network sharing. I cannot print from the XP PC. It says I do not have permission even though I have shared the printer.
I've tried scanning for viruses, using winsock fix (they had a static ip I also set to automatic since they should not need it). I just turned off the firewall as well, tried "selective startup" and unchecked "load startup items" and nothing has worked so far. We're working on giving them another computer but I'd like to know why this happens.
I've been having an issue with all the printers and print servers on my network. They work great with my wife's computer which runs XP, but my computer which runs 7 won't print. Tried a Cat 6 cable on one and got some results.
Im having some printing issues whenever im working on the terminal server. If I try to print a document out in "landscape", it will print out "portrait", seen though it displays properly in landscape in the print preview. If Im working locally on my PC, it prints out fine.
I am using Open-VPN to connect directly to our server at our office. We have a main network printer at the office that everyone uses. While hardwired, I added the printer to my laptop. When I am at the office, either wired or wirelessly, I can print to the printer. When I try to print from home, the printer never opens, it is unable to connect. Is there a way to access a network printer when logging in remotely through VPN?

I have the printer hooked up to the USB port on the router (Asus RT-N56U), and in the router GUI, it recognizes the printer but when I set the printer up on my computers, they seem to not want to connect, or if they do it won't print anything for a few minutes after clicking "print." Is this just one printer that's going to have issues printing through the router?
I've tried both USB ports, and a couple different cables.USB flash memory works just fine and is quick, like it's plugged straight into a computer.Ironically, I bought this router to replace my file/print server.
