Trying To Network HP LaserJet 4100 Printer From Xp
Oct 12, 2011
I am having trouble networking an HP LaserJet 4100 series printer from a Windows XP computer to my Windows 7 laptop. I have searched and solved the initial issue of the password being asked. That has been taken care of. I am able to search for and find the printer properly on the network, however when I select the printer it says that there is no valid driver found. The printer connects to the XP computer VIA parallel port. I ordered a USB to Parallel converter and I successfully connected the printer DIRECTLY to my laptop and it installed itself without the need for a special driver. So it prints successfully from either computer when connected directly but when I have it connected to the desktop and I try to network it, I still get the error that there is no valid driver.
I have HP LaserJet CP3525 network connected, it was connected and configured, and was working good. But now it's not avaliable, it just states OFFLINE. But it's coming up when turning it off and on again, for a few minutes, and then goes down again...
A friend had an old HP LaserJet 4050 wired to a Linksys 160N router. They use Time-Warner service and had the standard Motorola Surfboard modem. They have four computers on that network, two wired and two wireless. One of the wireless devices is a MacBook the other three are all running Windows 7.They recently added Digital Phone to the Time Warner account so Time Warner came and swapped out their modem for an Arris combo modem/router. Now all the computers are connecting fine but they can't see the printer. The printer is wired to the new modem/router combo box and has an IP address. Yet none of the computers can ping the printer let alone print.Before I chalk it up to an incompatibils and security software temporarily and the firewall in the modem/router was already disabled.
I would like to print to my HP LaserJet 5000 through my WiFi. The printer however does not have WiFi only an RJ45 jack. I bought a TP-Link WR541G router to use as a bridge. My current router is a 2Wire which I get my WiFi from.I cannot physically connect the printer as the location of the 2-Wire to printer is across my home. I am hoping to simply connect the TP-Link to the printer and link the TP-Link to the 2-wire. How to make the bridge
I have a small network of computers and printers in my tax office and consist of three computers running in window xp professional, one computer is designated as the server workstation and the c drive is the share drive and the other two work stations are mapped to the share drive c on the server workstation . so i am using peer to peer networking and these three computers are connected by a seven port router and two other printer are attached to the router also. i am having a problem printing from the computers to these printers, one is a hp laserjet 4200 and another is a hp laserjet all in one 3055.
In the past i just click and i would print, but a few day ago when i click print from either workstation it would que it to printing but it would have a message that it could not find my printer on the network. dont know why it all of a sudden stop working. do not know anything about setting up a printer on a network. do note the printers are connected to the router and not directly to the server workstation computer via usb. So the two workstation and the server workstation have the printer software on the C drive of each computer but for some reason it could not find the printers on the network. How to network a hp laserjet 4200 and Hp laserjet 3055 in a network that is connected by by one seven port router. why is the printers not in the network?
I have an Canon MP 530 that works great for my home office network, but right now it's being shared off one of my PCs. I would like to network it like my HP LaserJet P2055dn, but not just printing, also fax and scan (via Adobe Acrobat Pro). Does this product really exist.
About two years ago I bought a Linksys device that turned out to be a $100 mistake, but now I'm really needing this sharing functionality.
We have using printer in network, it cause problems daily that we give print in remote i.e., in our system it responds too many connections being used or otherwise network path not found.The printer model is HP Laserjet 1020.
I configured the HPLaserJet 4050 in my home for two laptops today.
Hardware involved in Setup: Dlink Wireless Router for the internet connection at home. Two laptops with internet connectivity over wifi - needing the connection to the printer. One HP laserjet 4050 series printer (to be setup) Problem statement: Wanted to connect the Printer over the LAN cable to the wireless router and the laptops should be configured with the printer settings so as to print over wifi network.
Step-1 Power up the printer. Should warm up with the display showing 'READY' message. Do put A4 papers in the printer tray. Connect a one side of the LAN cable to the printer and the other to the router. In the printer : Click the 'Menu' button on the printer. Navigate till you see 'Information Menu' in display. Click the 'Item' button till you see the 'Print Configuration' in display. Now click 'Select' button. The printer should print two pages of printer configuration with the IP address also mentioned on sheet 1.
Step-2 Now from one of the laptops,ping the IP address from your computer system to ensure the connectivity to the printer within the network. Now follow these steps to add the printer:Go to Control Panel / Printers Click Add Printer Select Local (No automatic detect) Create a new port Select the Standard TCP/IP port Enter in the IP address of the Printer Then add in the drivers when requested for the HP, Laserjet 4050 PS. Now finish. It prompts to print the test page. Go ahead and print one to ensure that the printer in setup. Now repeat the Step-2 for any number of laptops in the home. All should get configured and work fine and should be able to print. No need to test for each and waste paper.
Now you can enjoy printing wireless and schedule multiple jobs and users also without efforts.
I am trying to setup a HP Laserjet 4100N printer so that it can be printed to wirelessly. The printer is connected to the network by an ethernet cable. The tech guys told me to configure the printer as so...
I'm currently configuring a HP Laserjet P4515 printer. It has its own built in Jetdirect so, all that jazz is done.
I'm having issue when I telnet to port 9100. I type the typical Jetdirect commands: ? / MENU yet I receive no information back from any commands I type. Even configuration commands. Typically, all this gets me is a printed page (since 9100 is also the print port) with the commands I've attempted to type. Some garbled, some not.
I have installed the HP drivers for my HP LaserJet 1102w printer on my Windows 7 (64 bit) Professeional and Windows XP laptops.They both print fine over the network using the WRT54G2-V1 router immediately after installing the drivers. However after shutting down either the computers or printer the settings are lost and the printer willl not work unless the drivers are reloaded.
I recented purchased a used 8150 with a network card. What do I need to do to it to work on my business network of 5 computers (all running Windows 7 Home)? I believe that it has an old IP address stored on it already. How do I change or delete this also?
I have HP laserjet 4000 tn. Had an old router and upgraded to a new wireless router, when connecting it to the new router, the port I connect to has the amber light come on. I have reset to factory setting thinking it would reset and capture a new ip address. still giving me problems. try connecting it to my macbook pro and cannot get a "fix" on the printer either. I know it has to do with the configuration of the printer.
My home router is an aging D-Link DGL-4100 and I am looking to replace it.My max budget is ~$250 USD.
I use 2 Ubiquiti Unifi UAP-Pro APs in my home for WIFI access, so I have the WIFI aspect of my home network covered completely. All wiring in my home is either Cat5e or Cat6, my switch is a gigabit HP ProCurve 1810G-24, and my cable modem is a Motorola SB6120 (Comcast cable broadband). I have 7 IP cameras (security system), 4 streaming media players, several PCs, a server, and several other network connected devices. I am the only resident.
I am looking to maximize my WAN to LAN (& LAN to WAN) throughput while maintaining a very secure network. I also want the router to have reliable VPN. If it is a wireless router, I would most likely not utilize the WIFI feature, probably turning off the WIFI radios and just use the router functionality.
I don't have the time/patience to build a PFSense (or similar) box and learn the software, so am only considering an off-the-shelf solution. Yes I know that PFSense and Untangle are great, I simply don't have time to learn them presently or in the foreseeable future.So, which router for wired performance and security would you recommend?
I'm trying to change the way my network is set up by replacing an old cheap Switch with a newer Router that has some QoS options.
Modem: Motorola SBG900 LINK (provided by Time Warner, not purchased by me) Old Switch: Zonet ZFS3008 LINK New DLink Router: D-Link DGL-4100 LINK
Currently, my network is set up as follows, arrows being Ethernet cables: Cable Modem w/ Wireless <-------> Old Switch <-------> 3 PCs and a Printer
With everything set up as shown above everything works fine, but I want to change it to: Cable Modem w/ Wireless <-------> DLink Router via it's WAN port <-------> 3 PCs and a Printer
Simple change, right? Apparently not.A few things aren't working when I swap the DLink Router for the old Switch.
1. Internet does not work, though I can log into the DLink Router in a web browser and see all of the settings.
2. The IP address that used to go to the Modem (192.168.0.1) now goes to the DLink Router, and I cannot get to the Modem anymore via a web browser with any IP address.
3. The wireless from the Modem stops working.
4. I see the following when logged into the DLink Router and looking at the Status tab:
. . Connection Type :DHCP Client . . Cable Status :Connected . . Network Status : Establishing (Please Wait...) (it never establishes)
I have noticed that the DLink Router and Cable Modem both are doing DHCP, and I am wondering if that is creating a conflict that is causing the problem. However, simply disabling DHCP for the DLink Router and otherwise leaving the connections as they are still does not get the internet working.
<----------------insert a couple hours of fiddling with it some more------------->
The following setup works as far as letting everyone online, but QoS rules in Gamefuel are not getting enforced:
Cable Modem w/ Wireless (DHCP enabled) <-------> Old Switch <-------> DLink Router (DHCP disabled) via LAN port, leaving WAN port unused <-------> 3 PCs
I can now log into the Cable Modem via 192.168.0.1 and the DLink Router via 192.168.0.2. The wireless internet is also working again as well. My PC uses Windows 7, the other two PCs we have are on Windows XP and Vista.
I'm trying to hook up a Siemens Speedstream 4100 and a Linksys E2500. The internet works fine when I plug the modem directly into the computer. When I try to run it through the router, though, the router install appears to work right but I get a message saying that my internet connection might not be working. I power-cycled everything - unplugged all the cords and waited 20 minutes before restarting. It sounds like putting my modem in bridge mode might be the move? When I type in 192.168.0.1, I get a message that says "Server says: Linksys E2500." It also wants login information, and I'm not sure what that would be.
I had to totally reinstall windows Me and all software. Now I cant connect to the internet. I can't find a device driver for the ethernet card. There are 2 devices the manager is not recognizing PCI communication device and PCI Ethernet controller.I don't seem to be able to find an exact type for either.
I have 2 desktops (running windows 7), a Canon MF8300 printer, and an outgoing ethernet line, all on a Netgear Advanced Cable Modem Gateway CGD24-CPR. I'm only concerned with having the 2 desktops set up with the Canon printer.Both computers have been connected to the printer before and I have the startup disk. But once the new offices were set up and both of the desktops were moved, I can no longer access or find the printer.
I can IPconfig the Desktops for their IPV4 addresses and both desktops recognize eachother on a Homegroup, but I can't find the printer. I printed off the print configuration page from the printer which gave me an IP address (printer is set for auto-obtain), but using an IP search won't bring up the printer.All of the devices are plugged into ethernet ports set up for the three different office they are in and the actual location of the Netgear cable modem/router is over 100 feet away. My primary concern is getting the printer for the desktops, but I also need to add a wireless router into one of those office in the future.
DGL-4100 -> Wii -> X360 -> PS3 -> DGS-2205 (gigabit switch in study) *-> My PC *-> Her PC *-> DAP-1522
We're on the 192.168.1.x domain, and I've already hooked my PC up directly to the DAP-1522 and switched its IP address. So now, I can connect to it through the switch. I've renamed it, set it to WPA2 with a passphrase, and should be set to go. However, I can't get my laptop, IPod touch, or any devices to see it. Also, the DGL-4100 doesn't list it under the DHCP clients, but as I've got the DAP-1522 set to a static IP of 192.168.1.50.
How to compete with zyxel´s wireless guest access, when it comes to "one click guest access code"? The one button feature that comes with the printer provided with this solution is a customer demand in may cases. I´m sure that linksys and cisco can figure some easy setup on how to provide this in their portfolio.
I am trying to connect my HP LaserJet 4050 to my BEFSR81 router (via ethernet), but my PC's are not printing to it? When I click on Devices&Printers on my Win7 PC, I see it and it has a green check mark, but I am not sure if the pc actually sees this printer or if it is showing this because I installed the driver.
Other option would be buy a print server (EFSP42), but I would rather just connect it to the BEFSR81.
I've just bought an EA3500 router. I have made all the setup, intsall Linksys smart wifi..Now that all is done, I try to install my printer but it didn't work..When I try to connect the printer cias Cisco VSUB application, the application try to connect the printer but the application is stuck at this step..After making a search on the forum, I found that somebody have uninstall the printer, re-install the printer driver and it work for him but not for me...
We have a Server 2008 R2 print server that handles all printing for our mixed windows domain. I am trying to install 64 bit drivers so that our newer 64 bit clients can simply double click on the printer to add it to their list of printers.
According to what I'm reading online, I'm supposed to go into the printer's properties. Click Sharing, then click additional drivers. Makes sense. I select the x64 for the processor type (x86 is checked by default and will not uncheck).
At this point it wants me to locate the drivers. I point it to the HP drivers that I have downloaded for 64 bit processors and hit ok but it tells me "The specified location does not contain the driver HP laserjet 4250 PCL 5 for the requested processor architecture." Which it does, although it is PCL 5e rather than PCL 5.
I also have read that the drivers need to have the same name. I assume this means within the INI file. I've tried to change all the locations to read PCL 5 instead of PCL 5e but it gives another error instead. "Windows cannot locate a suitable printer driver. Contact your administrator."
I have 4 computers (3 laptops, 1 desktop) in a shared office. We get internet access using their wireless network. All works fine. However, I need to share a printer amongst all of the computers. The printer is LAN enabled and I would normally just put all the PCs on a hub, together with the printer and share it that way. BUT my question is can we access the internet using the wireless network and the printer using a separate wired network at the same time?
I'm running into an issue with allowing all the PCs to use the one printer connected to devpc. I have a westell 7500 from CenturyLink and a Belkin Wireless G router. This is the layout:
I'm a newbie in setting up a network printer, i'm planning on putting its cable directly to the switch which will provide the ip address dynamically, how can i set the printer that all the pc's in the same network can use it,?
