Can I access printer from two computers?

I would like to print wirelessly from my new Windows laptop to the printer which is currently connected by USB cable to my iMac. I tried the Netgear boards first but the response they supplied was Windows-specific.
The PC is connected wirelessly via a Netgear DG834Gv3 router to AOL (UK) and my Mac is connected wirelessly via an Apple Airport to a different, cable network. Ideally, I''d like both computers to print wirelessly and I was hoping the Netgear router would provide the solution.
It may be pertinent to add that the Airport is stuck in the room the cable comes in, the iMac and printer are stuck in another room but the Netgear router can go just about anywhere.
Am I right thinking settings need to be tweaked on the Mac and a cable will connect the printer to the router?

Here's how to Set, Change, or start over with a Keychain PW...

  • How to access files from two computers on a network, one wired and one wireless?

    I cannot seem to access one computer from the other.  I have marked files for sharing, and both show the same work group.  How do I make sure both computers are installed on the router?

    Make sure that both computers can access the Internet through the router.
    If your router has a setting for "AP isolation", verify that it is set to "disabled".
    As long as you do the two things mentioned above, your router does not put up any barrier to file sharing.   So then the problem is not a router problem, it is a Windows problem, or a firewall problem.
    To check for firewall problem, first, make sure you can ping each computer from the other - if you cannot, then temporarily turn off your software firewall, including Windows Firewall, and see if that helps.
    If you still have problems after the firewall is off, then your problem is likely a Windows problem.   Make sure "file and printer sharing" is enabled on all your wireless adapters and ethernet cards.   If you continue to have problems, then usually the Windows support website has the best info on how to further proceed with fixing this type of problem.
    Hope this helps.

  • How Can I Combine Podcasts from Two Computers Into One ?

    I download podcasts on two computers - my home PC and my work/travel laptop. My IPod syncs to my home PC. What I would like to be able to do is transfer all the podcasts I have downloaded from my laptop to my home PC (as my internet speed at home isn't great), then sync it all to my IPod. Is this possible ?

    Well it works.....sometimes. It works OK with audio podcasts, but not with *.mov video podcasts. It DOES work with *.M4V video podcasts. I found this out by trying to add all the Tiki Bar TV files, and only the Boomerang episode transferred OK.
    The strange thing is this - while the *.MOV vpodcasts don't show up in the Podcast window in ITunes, they DO transfer over and show up in Library>Genre 'Podcasts'>. How can I force them to appear in the Podcasts window ?
    Cheers

  • Printing from two computers

    is it possible to link a hp printer with a mac and a pc ( sorry ! ) ?

    Hi John,
    Welcome to the forum.
    Yes, of course it is
    If the printer has an ethernet port you can add it to the network; you'll nee to have the print drivers installed on both computers with this route. Failing that, or alternatively, you can connect it to either the Mac or PC and enable print sharing.
    For step by step instructions on print sharing look here:

  • CAN I LOAD MUSIC FROM TWO COMPUTERS

    I use my laptop for 99% of my itunes library and update my ipod on it as well. I recently downloaded a few albums to a desktop -- when I try to load the music onto my ipod, it asks me if I want to REPLACE all my music with the few albums in this new library. How do I keep all my existing music on my ipod and add just a few albums from a new, previously unused libary on the desktop.

    If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer change the update preference to "manually manage songs and playlists:

  • Put movies in itunes on one computer why does it not show up when i access itunes from other computers or ipad2?

    put movies in itunes on one computer why does it not show up when i access itunes from other computers or ipad2?

    i just purchased a file that had videos in it. i put them in the itunes library on my pc where i first downloaded them. i was able to transfer them to my other pc, a laptop, through my home network. i am now trying to get them on my mac pro desktop and my ipad2. my mac pro can see the other computers on my home network but i cannot get it to connect to them. i know the operating systems are different but was hoping i could transfer pictures and files from pc to mac this way. haven't been able to get it to work yet. the videos i am trying to get my mac to see came in a folder with both mac and pc versions. i thought if i got the videos i purchased into itunes that i would then be able to get them to my mac pro and my ipad2. i am new to mac/apple and have always been pc-centric so trying to marry it all has been difficult. i speak pc pretty well but am just learning apple. am i trying to do things that are not possible? i sure could use a knowledgable friendly soul to walk me through my issues of having pc and mac on the same network. i have been able to get all computers and ipad to print on my network. thanks.

  • How can I access files from a flash drive that were previously saved using a Windows computer? When I attempt to open the file on MacBook Pro, it is asking to "convert file to"; I also have Microsoft Word installed on the Mac as well.

    How can I access files from a flash drive that were previously saved using a Windows computer? When I attempt to open the file on MacBook Pro, it is asking to "convert file to"; none of the options I choose work. I also have Microsoft Office (with Word) installed on the Mac as well.

    Format the external drive as FAT32 or ExFAT. Both computers will then be able to read and write to it.

  • Can't change printer from one account to another

    Hi,
    I seem to be stuck between the proverbial rock and a hard place.
    Here's the situation:
    1. My old e-mail account used originally to sign in to the HP eprint center has been deleted by the e-mail provider (MSN). It can't be recreated because MSN will now only allow me to create an e-mail account with @hotmail.com or @outlook.com and not @msn.com.
    2. So, I created a new e-mail address (with @hotmail.com)
    3. I then  used the new e-mail address  to create a new account on the HP eprint center.
    3. I can't add my printer to the new HP eprint center account because it is still associated or linked to the old HP eprint center account that uses the now deleted msn e-mail account.
    So, I seem stuck at this point.  
    How do I either access my old account and replace it's deleted e-mail address with the new one, or how do I switch the printer from the old account to the new account when I can't sign in to the old account to first remove it there?
    Thanks for your help!
    Kobe Zhang

    Hi Kobe Zhang
    Option 1:
    Your MSN account might be deleted but the eprintcenter wont be deleted along with it.
    You should be still able to login to eprintcenter account using the old msn id and the same old password for eprintcenter account which you used regularly.
    If you have forgot the password, i dont know how can you recover it. 
    If you get a chance to login then you can remove the printer from the old account and then claim it in your new account created usign hotmail ID.
    If you are not worried about changing your printers email ID, here is option 2.
    One more option is to de register the printer and register it again to cloud to get a new email address which can be used to claim the printer in your new account and then customize your email ID there. But be aware that you might not be able to set the same customised email ID which you have used in your old account.
    Kind Regards,
    Olilloyd

  • How can I transfer songs from two different itunes?

    I want to transfer songs from my brother's itunes library to my shuffle, but when I plug it in his computer, a message saying that his library is not linked to my library (or something to that extent) and whether I would like to replace the songs. If I click yes, all my existing songs are replaced with HIS songs. If I click on NO, the Shuffle icon does not appear at all and I cannot transfer any of his songs to my shuffle. How can I transfer songs from two different computers into my shuffle without replacing any of my existing music?

    You'll have to setup your iPod to manual instead of automatic update (I'm not sure, though, if it works with the Shuffle as well).

  • Editing from two computers

    I have an iMac at home that I have been editing and publishing a site from iWeb to .Mac. I now have a macbook and would like to work on pages or blogs with that computer also. I vaguely understand the issue now with the files stored on my iMac and editing and publishing from there.
    If I were to store the files say on my iDisk, could I access them from both computers, edit and publish from both, and keep them in sync?
    Is there another/better method of doing this without actually moving the files from one computer to the other?
    (obviously, one option might be using Back to My Mac, but I would like to work locally if possible)

    You can store the domain file on your iDisk.
    But you have to double-click it to open it. Otherwise iWeb won't find it .
    Depending on the size of the file, expect slow updates. And be prepared that when you loose connection, your file may be damaged.
    But that isn't really an iWeb issue. It applies to all files you edit over a connection.
    All the if suggestions you can easily find out by doing it.

  • Why can't I print from my ipad?

    I've had my iPad for almost a year now and I like it a lot. It looks very good, it performs very well even though I'm far from reaching my goal of only taking my ipad to school, nothing else.
    One important reason why this won't be the case for quite a while still is that I can't print from the iPad.
    Let me explain. I make quite a number of worksheets. Being a teacher this is one of the things you do so that the students have something to write on and do exercises. Over the years there have been many of these and my initial thought was to put them all on the iPad and print them when needed. But imagine my surprise when I found out that printing from an iPad seems to be near impossible.
    Other colleagues of mine got themselves cheap EEPCs and they work fine. They can access the local printer easily printing whatever they wish. But I can't do that! Unless my school buys a new Air-thingy printer from HP I just won't print there! And that just *****.
    I've bought a sleek and expensive machine that is so sophisticated - that I can't use it the way I want to. And that isn't even ******** about the file system that seems to be equally messed up.
    My question is, why can't I print from the iPad? Printing had been announced many times before the launch of iOS 4 and then, all of a sudden, nothing more. How can this be? Why do I have to buy additional software - which is not really cheap and far from certain to work at all - just to be able to print a few pages?
    Please help me understand this, as I see it, major flaw of the iPad and iOS 5.

    Thanks guys,
    I seem to have understood by now.
    To sum it up:
    - I can print with the iPad directly if the printer is Airprint compatible.
    - I can print via a number of more or less working apps.
    I've downloaded some HP software for my iPad and even seem to be able to access it from some other apps, that is except Apples Pages app. Sigh! So whenever I have to make changes in my documents, I still can't print.
    GoodReader on the other hand lets me send my documents to the HP app, but the app/HP won't let me print microsoft docs unless I register and send my documents over to HP where the printing prep is being made, then they send it back to me/my printer. Anyway GoodReader blows my layout apart, so I must change it on the iPad, but when I do …
    It's a big catch.
    You must realize that printing really isn't that comfortable and that as a spoiled old Mac user I might be excused for wishing something more workable.
    The truth seems to be that I've got to carry all those docs on a USB-stick, move them over to the Windows-machine at our school and print from there - which is what I do on a daily basis already.
    All those workarounds that may or may not work (check out user comments on those printing apps!) are so annoying that my overall question remains pretty much the same.
    But I could also rephrase the question: Why can't I print from the so-called best tablet office app even if I am equipped with all the apps I apparently need?
    Please understand that this is not Apple-bashing in any way. This is a real problem for me in my everyday life. I won't be persuading my school to buy AirPrint printers just because of my little problem and I honestly don't want to spend more money on printing apps that seem never to even have gone through beta testing.
    Still, thanks for you efforts. I guess I'll just have to wait for Microsoft Office for iPad to get that big problem solved.

  • Since upgrading to 8.0 I can no longer print from Mapquest Classic. I an from IE. How can I fix that? ALSO I don't like the new layout. How can I go back to my pervious version?

    Since upgrading to 8.0 I can no longer print from Mapquest Classic. It's not a Mapquest problem it's a Firefox problem as I am able to print using IE. I haven't encountered any other sites problems yet but I'm sure it's to come if I don't get this fixed. I need to be able to print. How can I fix this?
    I also do not like the new layout. How can I go back to my previous version?

    What precisely do you mean by deleting the podcast app from both the phone and Mac? I have deleted the podcast app from my phone but on my Mac in iTunes->iPhone->Apps it shows up albeit with a button labelled "Install". I've resynced 3 times and when I try to access my Podcast playlist in the Music app, I still get a message telling me that podcasts have moved to the Podcast app. I'm really sick of some of the changes Apple  has made to their software.

  • Problem Accessing PayPal from All Computers...

    Hi All,
    I've been searching high and low both on Google and in this forum and can't find a resolution to this.
    I have an Airport Extreme and suddenly I can no longer access PayPal on either my Mac or 2 other PCs (one WinXP, one Ubuntu - "Google Chrome could not find paypal.com").
    Given this is happening across all computers connected to my router it would seem the problem lies there. I reset it to the factory defaults and recreated my wireless network but the problem persists.
    I can use my cell phone to create a hotspot network. When I use that network I can connect to Paypal successfully, so it would seem the problem isn't on PayPal's end.
    Ideas?
    Thanks very much in advance!
    n

    Update on the above:
    I ran Disk Utility on my Mac and repaired permissions, which turned up several permissions errors related to Airport Utility. I also ran "Verify Disk" and it told me the boot disk needed repairing, which I did. I then repaired permissions again and now, unexplainably, I can access PayPal, from all computers.
    Hope this helps someone.
