Sharing HP LaserJet 2200d on Windows 7 to XP machine

I need help sharing my LaserJet 2200d running on Windows 7 with another computer running XP. The HP LaserJet was originally installed on the XP 32 bit machine and it ran fine. I bought a new computer with Windows 7, 64 bit and Windows automatically installed the software for the printer and it works fine on Windows 7. I have printer sharing turned on and the XP machine CAN find the HP printer across the network. In reading the HP web support on this topic I did try to configure the HP LaserJet for both 64 bit and 32 bit (x86) drivers. However, when I follow through the step outlined on this page - http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c02030517 I run into a problem in locating the proper driver. I keep getting an error message saying that I do not have the correct file. I tried all HP 2200 PCL 5 drivers that I could find on this link, including the universal driver - http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=28862&pr... but non of them worked. I kept getting the message that I do not have the correct driver. The exact error message is "The requested location does not contain the driver for the HP LaserJet 2200 Series PCL 5 for the requested processor architecture. What driver do I need to install on my windows 7 machine in order to allow the HP 2200d PCL 5 printer to be shared with my 32 bit XP machine and where do I find it? Thanks very much, Dan

HP seems pretty damned indifferent to its customers' problems.  I have about the same problem.  My computer has Windows 7 SP1 x64, with a LaserJet 2200D connected via USB.  I have been trying to share it with another computer, which is running Windows XP SP3 x86, on home network.
I am able to use the printer from my computer, but not from the XP machine.  I've tried to download "additional drivers" for the client machine, but keep getting messages "no driver found" after unzipping.  Also have tried installing drivers on the other computer, again to the same messages there. 
I've had the printer working on both computers before, but only after hours of fiddling around with different drivers on both machines and then, only by luck it seems, did it work.  Can't seem to get it work this time around.
I usually reinstall Windows (win7) about once a year, and really do not want to have to go through this problem yet again next year.  I want to fix this problem now.

  • Connecting 32 bit XP machine across network to HP Laserjet 2200d on Windows 7 64 bit machine

    I am trying to connect a 32bit machine running Windows XP across the network to an HP 2200d Laserjet Series PLC 5 printer installed on a 64 bit machine running Windows 7 - The printer can be seen by the XP machine across the network but when I tried installing printer drivers I kept getting incorrect driver errors. (The HP printer had previously been connected directly. i.e., no network - to the XP machine before I bought the new computer and it worked fine.)

  • Sharing HP Laserjet 1020 from Windows to Mac

    From Windows PC AA I can see folders shared from Windows PC BB and also see and use the HP Laserjet 1020 shared from Windows PC BB. From the Mac I am able to see folders shared from Windows PC BB. But I CANNOT see (or use) the HP Laserjet 1020? I tried adding a printer when printing on the Mac (Tiger)and could get to the Windows Network and find Windows PC BB - but the printer does not get listed. Using the same steps I am able to see and use a printer on Windows PC AA. What gives? How can I delete all references, keychains etc. to Windows PC BB and start again (assuming that may be the issue)? Error messages or log entries as to why this is failing would be nice.

    Hi Ron
    Take a look at these two iFelix articles below, maybe you have just overlooked something simple! The first one walks you thru the steps with the printer connect to the PC sharing with the iMac. The second is turned around with the printer connected to the iMac sharing with the PC.

    Hi guys!  Had the same issue with a client.  Just found the solutions brainstorming (and the red bull helped!!)  This is tested on a Windows x64 machine sharing the printer on the network and attempting to connect via a Windows XP machine.  The printer has been previously shared amongst other Windows 7 x64 machine successfully.
    The solution is to install the HP Universal Printer Driver - PCL5 version on the machine where the printer is connected locally FOR THE SAME PRINTER THUS CREATING A SECOND PRINTER USING THE UNVERSAL DRIVER.
    After downloading the file, it will unzip and start the installation.  Choose the existing printer using the same port ( it will say ie DOT4 - HP Laserjet 2200).  Once it completes, unclick [ ] Set as default and complete the operation.  Now go to the Printers listing.  Under the HP Lasterjet 2200 printer there should be two printers listed - one using the Windows 7 x64 biut driver and the other using the HP Universal driver
    Now, on the Windows XP machine, use the same Universal Printer Drviver and find the printer by browsing the network for the computer.  You should see the HP Universal Printer.  Select it and continue with the installation.  Once completed, print a test page.    PRESTO!!!
    Hope it works.  In the middle of a my runs so if you need more elaboration, give me a bit to answer back.

  • Print to LaserJet 2200d via a wireless print-sharing computer?

    I would like to share an HP LaserJet 2200d over a wireless connection to other clients on the network. The 2200d coonnects to my G4 via USB (no JetDirect card). The G4 is a wireless node on the network. All OSX nodes are 10.3.9.
    The printer works fine for the direct connect G4, but it doesn't show up at other machines in the Printer Utility display of available printers.
    Can this be done? It would appear that one can print to a 2200 via USB to an Airport Express device, so why won't it work through a spooling client?
    Thanks in advance (I hope)

    I have run Printer Setup Repair on the G3 (10.3.9) and all the various repair sequences. (e.g. repair file permissions)
    I have made a wired connection for the host and the G3 still doesn't see it. I have tried nearly every connecting option offered in Setup Utility. (AppleTalk, IP Printing, LPR, JetDirect, Rendezvous)
    I can ping the host machine from the G3.
    A laptop trunning 10.4.x can print to the 2200 just fine, via its own WiFi connection to the network. On that machine, the 2200 shows up in Printer Setup Utility under 'default browser' and shows up in the Printer List properly attributed to its host machine.

  • LaserJet 2200 and Windows 7 Professional 64-bit - a mutual disagreement society?

    In upgrading my XP Professional system to Windows 7, I've got a real problem linking to my LaserJet 2200d printer. The store that did the upgrade mistakenly upgraded to 32-bit Windows 7, but the printer worked fine. In doing the proper upgrade to 64-bit 7 Pro, a problem arose - nothing prints and the data light on the Laserjet 2200 does not even flash. Observables:
    1. I've tried all the 64-bit drivers published from Microsoft via Windows Update and from HP. Nothing works, including the universal printer driver and regressing to the 32-bit driver.
    2. The printer shows as installed, but with a yellow, triangular warning sign, yet there are no details on the problem or suggested fixes.
    3. Windows Troubleshooter doesn't fix the problem.
    4. I thought to uninstall all the drivers and start fresh, but links to HP's driver uninstaller yield a "page no longer available" error message.
    I use this printer as my workhorse - sure would appreciate some help. I'm a nontechie, so step-by-step instructions would be very helpful. Thanks!

    I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial printer. You can do this at HP Enterprise Business Community.
    I hope this helps.

  • Laserjet 2200d used to work fine; now red light on and can't find problem

    I have a Laserjet 2200d.  It worked fine for years.  Suddenly, one day it just stopped working.  The red emergency light is on.  I can't find any problem.  I've tried the usual, like paper jam and shaking cartridge.  I recently found a user forum that suggested taking the whole machine apart and adding a drop of oil to the motor shaft in the circuit board of the laser scanner assembly.  I even tried that.  Didn't make a difference.  Anything else I should try before tossing the printer?  An old cartridge shouldn't make printer stop, should it?  I don't want to buy a new cartridge or spend money on this printer unless I know I can get printer to work.

  • Shared HP laserjet P1005 inaccessible over WAN

    Good day to all the peeps here, I'm a newbie and I am having problems with my hp printer. I can't access or add my Shared hp laserjet p1005  on my home network thru WAN? Please i need help about this! Is there a network configuration that i should do? I have another printer that is also shared and i can access it thru WAN, but the HP laserjet P1005 is inaccessible... Can anyone help me with this? Thanks in advance... 

    Thanks for the reply Sir Shane_R, and im so sorry to give you quite of the details about the problem. Here are the details:
    We are using 3 HP laserjet P1005 in 3 different Remote locations (3 different cities here in Saudi Arabia).
    All 3 of these locations have different (workgroup names) namely Rumailah, Compuh, and MCTEK.
    Rumailah workgroup has 2 computers, and 2 shared printers which are an epson LQ-680 Dot matrix printer and an HP Laserjet P1005 connected on a Dell PC which has Windows XP Professional SP3 installed on it . The other PC has Windows 7 OS and it can print from the shared printer in this network locally.
    Second location is Compuh workgroup and has an HP laser P1005 which is shared on a 4 node network. 1 Server 2003, and 3 Windows XP. Printing locally has no problem.
    Third location is MCTEK has an HP laserjet P1005 also directly connected to a PC which has a Windows 7 OS installed and it is also shared.
    FIrewalls are turned off.
    We're using Remote Desktop Protcol on these network to communicate which each of these computers. We are also using a database software which is installed only on the Server in (Compuh) workgroup.  My problem is I can't install or add these HP laserjet printers from any pc on any of these workgroups thru RDP on the Server (adding printers on the server using RDP session). Adding and printing from (Rumailah), using the RDP session and the Database software from the server (Compuh) with the Epson LQ-680 didn't have problems.

  • ITunes 9 Home Sharing does not work on Windows 7 x64

    iTunes 9 Home Sharing does not work on Windows 7 x64.
    Getting the following error message:
    Home sharing could not be activated because this computer is not authorized for the account "iTunes account." Please authorize this computer and try again.
    This is a bug since my computer is authorized in iTunes and there is only 2 computer authorized for my iTunes account, so I have 3 more left till I should get this message.

    <edited by host>

    I am using Windows 7 x64.
    I am running iTunes 9.0.2.25
    I am running Mcafee.
    I can see and play music from the iTunes installation on my Windows 7 machine, but I CANNOT access the library to copy songs from this computer to other computers on my network.
    YES, I have enabled "Home Sharing" using my iTunes account. NO, I have not authorized more than 5 computers on this account.
    I believe this to be a Windows 7 related issue, as Home Sharing worked as advertised when I was using Vista (before I upgraded to Windows 7).
    I CAN set up Home Sharing on two other (host) computers in my home network and it works. These computers are XP and a MacBook Pro. I CANNOT access my Windows 7 machine x64 to COPY music from one autorized library to another. Please help!!!
    P.S. - I have attempted to get this to work by turning OFF my McAfee firewall. Windows firewall is disabled.

    Can't Print/Connect from Windows 7 64 bit to Shared PSC 1315 on Windows 7 32bit Machine...
    I tried to install driver on connecting PC, i tried to install printer as Local printer with local port - \\WIN7-32bit\HP PSC 1310 Series\ - and  i got access denied, and before i reinstall Windows on 64Bit machine its worked correctly... anyone know how to solve this problem ?

    When i connect it on 64 Bit machine printer requesting driver *.inf and not specific file...
    i try to install 64bit driver on 32 bit machine in sharing options and they didn't support it...

    More than likely, you are receiving the access denied error because there may not be a HomeGroup in place.
    To handle networks securely with Windows 7, Microsoft took a different approach.  A HomeGroup essentially creates a trust among all the devices in that home group.  If a device is not in that homegroup, then that system will essentially be denied access.

  • Setting HP LaserJet 2200d Duplex Doesn't work

    Machine is fully updated via Software Update as of 7/15/2008 (10.5.4), including the 7/15/08 HP Drivers.
    Printer: HP LaserJet 2200d
    Interface: USB
    Driver: /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/HP LaserJet 2200.gz
    I installed the printer and ensured it is using the correct driver.
    Open the print queue, select Info, select Driver, set the Duplex Unit checkbox and set the RAM to 8-15MB to match printer's 8MB RAM.
    Open any PDF using Preview.
    Command-P to print
    Set pages to print From 1 to 2 (to save resources, has no effect on this behavior)
    Open Layout
    Set Duplex to Long-edge binding
    press Print
    Resulting job is printed single-sided on two sheets.
    I use Preview and PDFs as an example application. Every application I have tried prints single-sided when long-edge is set.
    Interestingly, if I issue the following shell command, duplexing is properly enabled:
    lp -P 1-2 -o sides=two-sided-long-edge samefile.pdf
    Also, when I print to this print queue over the network from a Tiger 10.4.11 machine, duplexing is properly enabled.
    Is there a fix?

    Yes, I was using a "No banner" preset here at home, too. Not exactly sure why.
    Printing using "Standard" then setting two-sided worked.
    Exiting Preview then using "Last Used Settings" also resulted in duplex printing.
    I wonder if this has something to do with a printer preset being migrated from a 10.4 account or something....
    Since deleting that preset, I haven't been able to get it to fail either. Even creating new presets, selecting it, then adding duplex.
