Access printer installed under windows 7 64-bit from windows xp 32-bit

I have a CP1518ni attached via USB to a Windows 7 64-bit PC.  I'd like to use this printer to also print from another PC, a Windows XP 32-bit.  When I install a "network printer" on the XP machine, it says the driver is incorrect, probably because it is trying to pull a 64-bit driver over to the 32-bit PC.  I've tried downloading and installing the universal driver for XP on the XP machine, but it also says the driver is incorrect when I choose the CP1518 on the Windows 7 PC.  Can someone please point me towards a How-To article on this?  Or, must I attach the printer to my router in order for both machines to use it?

Welcome to the forums! Are you trying to set the printer up to be wireless or just share the printer from the 64 bit computer to the 32 bit computer? You can share the printer from the 64 bit computer across your network. Here is how to setup print sharing:

  • Problem with connecting to free wifi after upgrading to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8

    Hi
    I had problems with connecting to free Wifi after upgrading my PC(Notebook) to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8. As I travel a lot within europe, I am used to being able to connect to Free Wifi(those that dont need a key or password to enter) but soon after downloading
    Windows 8.1 I almost never was able to do this. I'd always get «LIMITED» even though the signal was strong.This was so fustrating,so much so that I reset my PC to clear it of Windows 8.1 and am now back to Windows 8.This is a shame because I was really liking
    using Windows 8.1 and if not for this problem(which is a big one) I'd still be using it. If I download Windows 8.1 again from the Windows store what is the probability that I'll have the same problems?
    Thanks Portozzygirl

    More often than not when a device isn't working it is because the driver has become corrupted. Re-installing a fresh copy should help

  • X220: Cant Upgrade to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8

    Hi all,
    I cant seem to upgrade to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8 on my X220.
    Originally during the install it states "This application wasn't installed - view details".
    Then it states "Something happened and Windows 8.1 couldn't be installed. Please try again. Error code 0xc0000005"
    Then it states "Something happened and Windows 8.1 couldn't be installed. Please try again. Error code 0x80246007"'
    Anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    According to your description, Windows 8 Operating System installed on your computer, right?
    Did you update to Windows 8.1 via Windows Store?
    If yes, follow Cyber_Defend_Team's suggestion, check if your computer meet the prerequisite.
    After that, try to install Windows 8.1 for test.
    If the issue persists, according to this blog to troubleshoot:
    Something happened and the install of Windows 8.1 can't be completed. (And now you're annoyed)

  • Problem installing Service pack 1 for Windows Vista 32-bit from windows update

    I have been trying to install Service Pack 1 for Windows Vista Home (32 bits) through Windows Update many times. The Update panel shows Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (KB936330) is available. I install the update, which by the way, just takes me few minutes curiouslly. The "update succesfully installed" message with the green circle checked on appears. But then, when I check my computer properties, the Service Pack 1 is not there and Windows Updated keeps showing again and again the update for Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (KB936330) is available and that needs to be installed. I don't know what else to do, can you help me please.

    Hi:
    Try downloading and installing the standalone SP1 file.

    If you get it to install that way, go straight to SP2 with the standalone download.

  • Can't print to a shared printer on 10.6.8 iMac from Windows 7 iMac

    I am creating another discussion as I made some changes and hoping PAHU-san will be able to solve this problem.  I am using a Mac OSX 10.6.8 iMac and Windows7 iMac.  I installed the driver Canon LBP6750 UFRII on each machine and both can print.  However, printing from Windows 7 iMac to a shared printer on the Mac OSX 10.6.8 does not print anything and has no errors.
    Here are some logs.  If you need additional information, please let me know.

    PAHU, Thank you for looking into this.  I have been working on this for a long time, and hoping that purchasing these two Canon printers are not a mistake.  My iMac 10.6.8 is not directly connected to a printer by USB, but through protocol IPP (I have also tested with HP Jetdirect).  I am doing this because I would like the iMac 10.6.8 to be a print server and have client machines (iMac 10.6.8 clients and iMac Windows 7) print through the print server.  I have tried the following on the iMac 10.6.8 and have the following errors

  • I cant instal windows 8.1 from windows 8?

    so I went to a local pawn shop where I bought my new laptop.... it has windows 8 already on it but to use any of the apps and stuff it wants me to download windows 8.1 from the store... so I went to the store clicked on it and it says "before you can
    get on windows 8.1 from the store you need to install the latest updates from the windows update"
    so I went to the pc settings and went to updates checked for updates and it says I have 118 updates so I started them and went to work and came home to configuration failed reverting back or something like that and it was there for 3 hours!!! I just want
    to be able to use windows 8 to its full potential I really like the way it is and would be disappointed if I couldn't over something like this ::::cccccc

    Try running the Windows 8.1 Update troubleshooter.

  • Help Needed :- Upgrading to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8 on W540

    I have tried repeatidly to upgrade to Windows 81 from windows 8 and it fails I get the driver power state failure error and error codes 0xc1900101 0x40017 .
    After 4 failures , i deleted drivers for Prinfing (pdf / printer drivers etc )  and some others i didn't note tried to do the install and it worked, except the first time i rebooted after logging in , it would not boot into windows 8,1 driver it came up with the driver error messages again and i was given the option to reset to factory defaults and i did.
    After restoring to factory defaults i tried the upgrade and it failed again.
    So can you help me , in how do i upgrade to 8.1

    "I bought a ThinkCentre M83 which had a downgraded windows licence (windows 8.1 pro downgraded to windows 7 professional)." -
    "... Now you want to upgrade to Windows 8.1 that was originally offered when you purchased the computer.  The only way that I am aware of that would be possible is to purchase a retail version of the newer operating system. "
    I would say either you did not understand it well / or you gave the wrong info. If Lenovo Think(Pad/Centre) has Windows 7 Pro downgrade preload (but Win 8 / 8.1 Pro licence):
    - user gets media for Windows 8/8.1 Pro included with your Think(Pad/Centre) (I think until December)
    - or now you must order it here (free if entitled)

  • Restore Exchange 2007 SP3 to Windows 2008 R2 from Windows 2003

    Perhaps I'm being dense, but I had Exchange 2007 SP3 installed on a Windows 2003 Server, and I've used "setup /mode:recoverserver" to restore it to a Windows 2008 R2 server... how do I restore the databases which I backed up with the Windows backup tool
    on 2003?
    I installed KB974674, the restore tool onto the 2008 R2 server but when I try and restore the backup it comes up with "this feature is no longer supported".  Something I'm missing here?

    These things marked as answers are not answers.
    I have now thoroughly tested using setup /mode:recoverserver and it works fine going from Windows 2003 to Windows 2008 R2 with Exchange 2007 SP3, done several installations now without a problem.
    "Setup /m:RecoverServer cannot be used across operating systems. A server that was originally running Windows Server 2003 can be recovered only on Windows Server 2003, and a server that was originally running Windows Server 2008 can
    be recovered only on Windows Server 2008."
    This appears to be wrong, unless someone can tell me why it's right (I haven't tried moving Unified Messaging yet).  I've done it to 2008 R2 several times now and also in the other direction, from 2008 R2 to 2003, I can't find anything that didn't work
    afterward, although I haven't really thoroughly tested OWA yet, I admit (but it does appear to be working).
    I think that documentation is out-of-date as it doesn't mention R2 plus I think it was written before SP3 came out and that paragraph is just wrong.
    Basically how I do it is like this:
    Dismount databases from the 2003 server and copy the storage group folders to a network location or removable media.
    Install the Windows 2008 R2 server using the same machine account that was being used by the 2003 server.  Install the prerequisites needed for Exchange 2007 SP3 installation on 2008 R2 (note in addition to the IIS components and RPC over HTTP this
    also requires the AD tools in RSAT, which I haven't found mentioned in technical documentation).  Install the relevant windows updates.
    Install Exchange 2007 SP3 using setup /mode:recoverserver  Install the update rollup.
    Copy the storage groups into the relevant folders on the new server and mount them.  Migrate any relevant certificates (e.g. for ActiveSync).
    Obviously then check it all over with the diagnostic tools and check it with EXBPA.  The backups are obviously totally different, but really I think you should be using DPM anyway.
    To me that was pretty easy to do, to be honest.  About 1.5 on a scale of one to ten.  Basically install it, recover it, copy over some files and mount them.
    Seriously on a halfway decent server I've done it in under an hour.

  • HP Pavilion dv6 Windows 10 upgrade from Windows 7 Home Prem; Error code 0xC1900101

    Have been trying to upgrade to Windows 10 (from Windows 7 Home Prem 64 bit). However, the upgrade fails showing an error code 0xC1900101. Tried uninstalling MCafee Antivirus and upgrading, but that fails too. Also, checked and installed all 'other' available system updates and tried. But no luck.During the installation process, the failure occurs when the system has finished copying and is in the process of installing drivers (that is, after the second restart). I have noticed that the 'installing drivers' process was also almost 90% complete. Once the second restart process begins, the system hangs and processor keeps running (and so does the cooling fan, at its highest speed). Earlier, had heating problems which used to hibernate my system during this process, but have fixed that now. And I get this new error message (in the subject above).Guess, the issue occurs when the system is trying to install drivers or when it is trying to upgrade its configuration. Need help!

    I dunno if this is related but I had an error as well during the upgrade on an HP DV5. You can find more information on the error if you analyze the dump file (.dmp) found in the Windows.BT folder right after the upgrade fails. You can use a utility like BlueScreenView. In my case, the upgrade crashed at around 75% of the total process (when configuring settings). Analyzing the dump file showed that the error was caused by a driver named 000.fcl, related to Cyberlink and their DVD player. Turns out this is used in the HP QuickPlay feature. After removing HP Quick Play, the upgrade proceeded as normal. Hope it helps anyone with a similar problem !

  • Windows 2012 Activation from Windows 2008 R2 KMS server

    Hello,
    We have 2 KMS servers in our Domain. One has server has KMS key for Windows 2012 KMS installed and other not.
    I have joined first windows 2012 server to domain and its been 3 hours the server is still not activated from KMS server.
    When client contacts KMS server for Windows 2012 licnese, if key is not installed on first KMS server, will it automatically contact second one? Do I need to change sonmething?
    One more question:
    Is it possible to have Windows 2012 key installed on the same KMS server, which is already acting as KMS sertver for Windows 2008R2? and Windows 2003 R2? or wil this cause any issues?
    Mahi

    Hello,
    Once a KMS host is activated, it will publish it's record to DNS.  KMS clients attempting to activate will query DNS to get a KMS host, if there is more than one, they will use the first one they get.  The DNS server should be rotating which records
    it hands out.
    If they activate, they will cache that record and attempt to use it when they renew, if they fail to renew or activate, they will query DNS for the KMS host again.
    Since this is a new KMS host it will need at least 5 KMS clients to contact it meet the count needs for Server.
    What version of Windows is the other KMS host machine is it Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2 or is it Windows Server 2003 R2?

  • How to roll back to Firefox 3.6 32 bit from Firefox 4 64 bit

    I am running firefox 4 64 bit on windows 7. However my remote citrix connection for work needs a 32 bit browser. How can I install a 32 bit version on my PC when my OS is 64 bit?

    I can tell by your user agent string that you are using the 32 bit version of Firefox 4.0.1
    Your user agent string is '''Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0.1''', the WOW64 part means you are using a 32 bit version on 64 bit Windows. A 64 bit browser would display win64 instead.
    All release versions of Firefox on Windows are 32 bit, though a 64 bit version is being developed.
