Network printing from my new windows pc using a HP 710 attached to a networked Vista pc

My setup worked perfectly when I had an xp pc and a vista vc.
The xp pc had a samsung 6060 laser printer connected by a parallel cable and the vista pc had a HP710C also connected by a parallel cable. I also have a laptop running ubuntu linux. The pcs are networked peer to peer and connected to the internet through a wired router. I was able to share files between all three machines, and print on any printer from any pc.
I now have a new pc running windows 7 (64)and one of the many problems I am having is getting the printing to work.
The two pcs can share files ok, I can find and install both printers on both pcs and they both print through the pcs they are attached to. What they won't do is print through the network. though I can select the printers in an application and press print nothing then happens (not even an error message) I am not a pc 'teckie' and don't really understand how it should work, but have tried a variety of things like 'permissions', 'firewalls' and all the automated fault finding fixes,  and so on but have struggled trying to understand what kind of driver should go where, or even to identify if this is a network issue or a printer driver issue
I'm tearing my hair out! And I've given up on networking the linux machine, and parked all the issues I am having with user account control, permissions and file ownership. 
Can anyone help on the printing front please? Thanks.

One, have the printer shared (it sounds like you've already done that) and under the share name...make sure that it is less than twelve characters and includes no spaces or special characters (underscores are okay). Then, you should have no trouble adding it to your Mac.
On the Mac, go to System Preferences, then go to Print & Fac, then the "+" button, then on the pop-up window, select "More Printers". The top drop-down menu should say "Windows Printing", on the second one, select your Network Neighborhood, then the workgroup your host computer belongs to, then select the name of the computer and the printer shoudl show up. Mac OS X has a multitude of drivers preinstalled for printers, so one it is detected, go to the "Printer Setup" and select your printer model.
Hopefully that helps

  • Wireless network printing from macbook to windows XP

    We have a wireless router (netgear) setup with 3 XP computers. A canon i900d printer is directly connected to the main computer. All computers share the internet and printer perfectly. I have the macbook recognizing the network and sharing the internet. And after two days of reading these forums and making changes I finally got the macbook to recognize the computer on the network that has the printer. I still can't get the macbook to show my true printer model and had to choose one of the ?gimp-print? models.The macbook prints but......
    Now the problem is the pages print to about 1/4 scale.
    I checked the preferences and they are set to 100%.
    I downloaded the driver directly from canons website.
    What now???

    Well, i have seem to isolated the issue..I can't find the EXACT gutenprint driver for the printer. It's not listed in the driver drop down list..With my printer at home that wirelessly prints fine to my xp computer, i have the exact driver listed and installed. What really drives me crazy, is that this printer is fully supported by leopard if its plugged into the USB port! It detects and prints perfectly..but there just isnt a supported driver to print from the mac over the wireless network to the xp PC.. From my searching, there may be a way to use another 3rd party driver using ghostscript, but all this mac stuff is new to me, so it's a bit beyond my mac skills for now...

  • Trying to access Mac networked printer from laptop with Windows XP

    Hi
    I'm stuck: I have printer sharing enabled on my G5, printer is connected to my router; from system pref/print & fax/ my URL for the printer is as follows:
    mdns://myprinter+serial#.printer.tcp.local.
    Windows wants this format
    http://printservername/Printers/sharename/.printer
    I've tried any number of permutations, and can't get the printer to show up in the printer wizard. I installed the software/drivers in the PC for the specific printer.
    I'm just not a PC user, and can't figure this out!

    Find the IP address of the mac in Network Prefs.
    Find the Mac's queue name for that printer in Print & Fax > highlight printer > Get Info (Show Info).
    On the PC, add new printer, and add the printer exactly as you were trying, filling in IP address for "printserver_name" and queue name for "share_name." Don't need the "/.printer" part. For driver, you'll need to choose a postscript printer model driver, even if that printer isn't a postscript one. The Mac will translate the postscript to the printer's language. Apple Color Laserwriter xx/xx worked well for me.

  • I need to reconfigur​e my network printer to a new ip address using the front control panel. how???

    Please help! The printer is a color laserjet 3800. The ip address will not reset when I plug it into the wall drop.

    Hi Dimon87,
    The code interface node is very rarely used and therefore there isn't a lot of documentation about it. Since you already have your code written, I would really recommend compiling your code into a DLL and call it using the Call Library Function Node. For your reference I am attaching a few links that talk about using the Call Library Function Node.
    http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361D-01/glang/call_library_function/
    http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361D-01/lvexcodeconcepts/configuring_the_clf_node/
    In addition please look in the example finder for an example called Call DLL.vi It gives a very extensive explanation about using this function.

  • I have been using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 for two years. I got a new printer and installed it although I did not remove my old printer from my computer. I used this program and my new printer for quite a few months, but today I deleted my old printer

    I have been using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 for along time now. When I first used the program I had a different printer than I have now. Although I changed printers I never removed the software from my old one. Now this was never a problem until today. When I choose a printer I still had option to use the old one but always chose my new HP Envy 5530 and Adobe never had a problem printing from that new printer. However today I decided to remove my old printer from my computer and now my Adobe cannot find my new printer.  How can I make it find the HP printer?

  • How do I print from my new Ipad to my Canon printer on my wireless network

    How do I print from my new Ipad to my Canon printer on my wireless network

    Actually, the article tells you to get it on the same network...but not how.  No Canon specific application is needed for printer setup.  It can all be done from the front panel of the printer.
    Look at the manual, it will describe how to get the printer on to your wire wirelless network.  Canon support can help.
    Next connect you iPad to the same network.  The in applications that print, you will find a print option in the share menu.  The printer should be selectable from there.

  • How can I print to my HP OfficeJet 6500 Wireless Printer from my iPhone 4S which used to work before AirPrint printers were even available? (running Mac Lion OS, all software and HP sw updates are all performed)

    How can I print to my HP OfficeJet 6500 Wireless Printer from my iPhone 4S which used to work (on prior iPhones) before AirPrint printers were even available? (running Mac Lion OS, all software and HP sw updates are all performed)
    I don't get it, I read one post about why would we have to buy an AirPrint Printer when we have used the "print to a wifi printer" just fine in the past?  Yes I feel that's exactly what's happening to me now too. I want to print from my iPhone and iPad to my WiFi Printer which is also now connected to my Airport Express WiFi network just fine. No problems.

    Very glad you added that bit of information because I see different problems similar to this.  I want to share with them what you did and hopefully you not only fixed your specific problem but you can lend some more advice to others with problems like this. Thanks!

    Hello,
    Is your printer connected to a wireless network with Internet access?
    Do other web services work on the printer? Meaning, can you use ePrint or the Printables on the front panel? (printables = apps on the printer like Disney, Menu Planner, Quick Forms, and so on.)

  • How do I print from my I Pad 2 using Airport Express

    How do I print from my I pad 2 using airport express.

    At this time you can't, not if you mean a printer connected via USB to the Airport unless there's been an app or workaround released that I haven't seen, or unless the printer is one of the few wireless printers that support AirPrint or for which the manufacturer has released their own app. At this time only HP has come out with printers that support AirPrint, which allows an iOS device to natively print directly to a wireless printer:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
    It's possible other printer manufacturers may provide updates to their printers to make them AirPrint capable. It's also possible that eventually Apple will support printers connected to a computer or Time Capsule. HP also has an app that allows printing to some of their other wireless printers, as if memory serves does Brother.
    If you don't have an HP printer or a another printer with an app available, then for now, you would have to connect the printer to your computer, then search the web for something like "airprint Windows hack" and you'll find instructions on enabling printing. If you have a Mac, try Printopia.

  • Request coming from the new window............... ?

    Hi All,
    Anybody please tell me how to check the request is coming from the new window.
    like if I copy the following url
    http://forum.java.sun.com/post!default.jspa?forumID=33
    and open it in a new window then I have to check that this url is coming from the new window not from the link.
    please reply soon.
    Thanks

    You would have to make the link use javascript to use a Form with a method of POST to add a parameter to the request and submit the form.
    You would have to use POST to hide the fact that you are using a parameter, otherwise the user could just copy the address with the parameter into a new window.
    So this would work in two ways:
    1) You could have a request.getParameter. If it is NULL then the user copy and pasted the link. If it is non-null then the link was clicked on.
    2) This will also force the clicked link to go to your servlet's doPost method and direct navigation to go to the servlet's doGet method.
