Can't Print/Connect from Windows 7 to Shared PSC 1315 on XP Machine

I have an HP PSC 1315 connected to a Windows XP (32 bit) machine. This printer is shared. I can access it from other XP machines on my home network. I cannot access it from my Windows 7 (64 bit) machine. I can see the printer is shared on the machine, but when I double click on it, I get the following error:
"Windows can't find a driver for hp spc 1310 series on the network. To locate one manually, click OK. Otherwise, click Cancel and consult your network administrator or the printer manufacturer's website."
So I tried downloading the Windows 7 (64 bit) driver from HP and installed it on my Windows 7 machine:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=al-75052-1&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=ca&...
At the end of the install, it asks to connect the printer to the computer through USB. Since I'm not physically connecting the printer to the Windows 7 machine, I check the box that says I can't connect to it right now and proceed to finish.
I then tried to connect to the printer and I get the same error. I try locating a driver manually. I point to c:\windows\inf\ with no success (I'm *assuming* the driver info would get installed there, though I don't know what the .inf name is). Windows says it can't find a suitable driver. Possibly I should be looking for it elsewhere?
I found some troubleshooting utility on HP's website, but it doesn't give "shared printer over a network" as one of the connection schemes to troubleshoot.
I'm kinda stumped on this one. Hoping it's going to be something simple I missed.
Thanks!

Here is a nice explanation of how to share a printer from an XP PC to a Windows 7 PC on a home network. This should work since the Windows 7 (64-bit) PC can see the Windows XP 32-bit partition. What you missed was the type of port to use for the networking connection.

Can't Print/Connect from Windows 7 64 bit to Shared PSC 1315 on Windows 7 32bit Machine

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 ?
*Edited*
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.

HP 6500 E709n can't print wireless from Windows 7

I have 3 computers on my home office network, and an HP 6500 E709n that has a wireless connection to the router. The printer does everything it's supposed to from the XP machine. From the 2 computers running Windows 7, the printer will scan and fax but not print.
When I used the USB cable to connect the printer to a Windows 7 computer, all functions worked fine. So it's apparently not just a matter of having the correct driver (and I've now reinstalled the Windows 7 driver twice after scrubbing my hard drive as best I could). I've checked absolutely everything, and all the recognitions seems to work going both ways. But every time I try to send a document to the printer from Windows 7, it just sits in the queue.
Do other users have this problem? Has anyone solved it? Thanks.

Deskjet 2800 can't print 11x17 from tray 2 with windows 7

After my PC had windows 7 installed I can't print 11x17 from tray 2. The hp website driver download page doesn't list a windows 7 driver, it instructs me to use the in os driver but that driver will only print to 8.5x11. Is there a fix for this?

Windows user can no longer connect to my File Sharing IP address

Hello,
Since updating to OS X 10.4.9, Windows users can no longer connect to my file sharing IP address.
I have had no problems when I was using 10.4.8, and I have re-checked both the Windows computer and my Mac to make sure that the file sharing connection should be possible.
I think this may be some sort of firewall / security issue (?) in that the 10.4.9 update has downloaded something which now "hides" my Mac at this IP address. I am unsure how to resolve this problem.
Does anyone have a suggestion? Much obliged, in advance.

Can the Mac connect to the PC?
Have you checked the Workgroup is the same on the Mac
in Directory Access>CIS/SMB?
Have you tried turning off the Firewall for a test?
Has the IP changed?
Hello!
Thank you for the suggestive questions above. I haven't "tested" any of them because I simply became exasperated with the "change" in 10.4.9 and went back to system 10.4.8
Of course, now everything is right with the world and I can once again have my Windows computer connect to my Mac.
Thank you for taking the time in trying to help me -- much obliged.

Home network printing problem from Windows 8

I have 3 PCs on my home network:
1.    Windows XP desktop (Pro SP3) with HP 6500 E709a USB printer.
2.    Windows 7 desktop (Ultimate SP1 64 bit) with HP 1018 USB printer.
3.    Windows 8 (64 bit) laptop.
Both printers are NOT Ethernet printers.
All computers can see each other and share folders on the home network.
Computers 1 & 2 can freely print on their own printers, as well as on each other's printer.
The problem is with computer 3 (Win8): it can see both printers, but can't print on either (in fact, I can print a test page on the HP 1018 printer from the printer driver on the Win8 machine, but I can't print anything from any application).
I tried to install HP 6500 driver on the Win8 machine, I turned on Network Discovery in the Advanced Sharing Settings on it, but it still doesn't work.
Any help would be appreciated.

Is there any "general puprpose" driver for HP 6500 E709a, something to replace the WIN8 driver that fails?

How can I print directly from my iPad to my new Primax 3260 printer when I have no computer. Do I need a portable single unit Router?

How can I print directly from my iPad to my new Primax 3260 printer when I have no computer? Do I need a portable one to one Router for the wiFi connection. My Internet is through Telstra 3G system.

Is your printer a wifi printer or hard wired only? If it's a wifi printer then you might want to look into third party apps like Print n Share or Print Central which allow a version of air printing to non-air print printers.
You may also want to look on the manufacturer's site. Maybe they have a fix for you.
If your printer isn't wifi, then you will need a router to get it on a wifi network to print to it. As far as I know, there is no support for the iPad to do wired printing.

Well...I went to the modem (Westell, WireSpeed), found the NAT settings, once again, I'm WAY over my head, I am assuming this is a TCP connection (as opposed to a UDP) and per Lorex my mobile devices will use port 1025. So I gave it a "global port range" of 1-10 and I indicated that the "base host port" was 80, 1025, & 9000 (ports 1,2,3). When I selected the 'enable' it asked for a "host devise" my choices are my IPhone, IMac and the IP address for the dvr, so I choose the dvr. I still cannot connect and canyouseeme still can NOT find these open ports. This is taking up my whole day! I don't know how people figure this stuff out.

Can't print wirelessly from iMac to HP 8600 all-in-one

A few weeks ago, I purchased a HP 8600 basic printer and setup it up to my two iMacs and to the router (cisco brand).
I haven't really printed with it since I have gotten it, which did print when I tested it at first. Now I can't print wireless from either iMac (one iMac is ver. 10.9 and the other is ver. 10.8). Both my computers and printer are connected to my router, but when I go to print something the printer dialog box tells me: "the printer is not connected."
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Windows Easy Transfer can't transfer files from Windows Vista or Windows XP

I'm running a English Windows Vista Ultimate and just bought a
ENGLISH Windows 8.1. I've downloaded the WET for Windows vista and tried to complete the second portion of the transfer by specifying the saved .MIG file WET created. Then I got the error message: "Windows Easy Transfer can't transfer
files from Windows Vista or Windows XP".
The truth is, Microsoft was too busy integrating special effects to it's operating system and claimed it as fully polished instead of making sure built-in tools were worth using.
Another harsh reality is that THERE IS NO WAY TO TRANSFER a file from Windows Vista to Windows 8. That's because engineers didn't even bother to make that possibility happen. Just Google: "Transfer from windows vista to windows 8" and you'll see
there are no relevant Microsoft web page about this.
Worse, Microsoft is giving excuses. To solve this issues, they came with a toolbox of fake scenarios in order to confuse clients even further, while they know damn well the Windows Easy Transfer is NOT EASY and certainly in multiple cases
DOES NOT TRANSFER jack to begin with.

I somewhat agree with you.
Trying to transfer from 7 to 8.1 and although it looks like the "7" side of the equation is working, the "8" side isn't.
"7" is trying to connect to "8" but "8.1" is being just plain stupid.
Not even sure why the MIG file step is even necessary if all I want to do is transfer one file between two machines. Said file is really BIG, or i'd just use my network, and the "8.1" rig doesn't have a dvd reader...
Per the MIG step... my file again, is big... I'd need to "mig" this file just to send it? Can't even get to the step where I'd mig-it and if i did, how long would that take?
So this is what progress is all about... geez... gimmie a NULL MODEM CABLE !!!

Changed printers, now can't print wireless from laptop

Hi. I changed to a HP printer from an Epson. Now I can't print wirelessly from my laptop through my Airport Express. I get a message that the printer is offline.
Went to the HP site & got latest drivers. And there was an Apple update for the HP. I can print when the laptop is connected to the printer by the USB cable.
When I first set up the AP Express 2 years ago, I was able to print wirelessly without any problems.
any ideas?
Thanks

Got it fixed. Went to the HP site again & they had info for OS10.5 that worked.
