Can't print from a network computer to my HP Deskjet D2680 on a Windows 7 computer

I have an HP Photosmart 2610 all-in-one printer connected to my HP desktop computer via a USB cable.  The computer is running Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit).  I downloaded the current software and drivers from Hp (364 MB).  I can print to this printer from any other computer on my home network.   So far, so good.
Now the problem.  I also have an HP Deskjet D2680 printer connected to the same HP desktop computer above via a USB cable.   I downloaded the current software and drivers from Hp (101 MB i think).   I can print to the D2680 from the HP computer, but I cannot print to the computer from any computer on the network.  The print request does not generate an error.  Nothing happens.  No print job shows up in the print queue on the HP desktop computer.
When I add the D2680 as a network printer on any of my other computers, the D2680 printer is seen.  The Add Printer function knows that the printer it is a D2680 printer and sets up the correct printer driver.  Everything appears fine, but I just can't print to it from any network computer.
I then tried to add the D2680 as a local port... no luck.  I identify it as \\ computer-name \ share-name, where computer-name is the name of the HP computer, and share-name is the name assigned to the D2680 when I shared the printer.  On the HP computer, user passwords are turned off and all sharing options are turned on.  I also modified the D2680 security to allow full access from NETWORK.   When I ty to create the local port... Access Denied.
Does the D2680 support network printing?  If not, why? If not, someone from HP should be demoted to the mail room for that decision.  If so, it is not working.  So what do I do?  Take a sledge hammer to it, then go buy another printer? 
So much for plug and play.   It's more like plug and cry.
Thanks in advance for your suppprt.
David

I found a thread about the HP Print & Scan Doctor software tool. I downloaded and ran it.  It detected a conflict with the D2680 driver / software, so I uninstalled the driver / software.  I then reran the software install, and now everything works fine.

  • I can't print from my iPad to an HP 3054 Deskjet.

    I can't print from my iPad to an HP 3054 Deskjet. I tried all the solutions suggested by Apple but haven't gotten in touch with HP yet. I can print through WiFi from my MacBook.

    Psm3-
    Has anything else changed in your system?  Did you install a different WiFi router?  Some are not compatible with AirPrint.
    One possibility is that you have a print job stuck in the print Queue.  Double click your Home button, and a row of recent Apps will line up along the bottom of the screen.  Scroll across and look for the Print Center.  If you find it, you should be able to cancel the stuck print job.

    I send a test page from 1 laptop and it says the page is sent. No error or anything, but nothing prints. nothing in the queue, just like the printer wasn't there although all 3 of the other computers recoginze the printer and have it as a default printer.
    i ran the HP diagnostic and it found no printer...........NONE?????
    How does that happen? I can use it, but it's not there!!

    OK so both wired computers work and the wireless laptops don't. Trying more things.....

  • Can't print from my OfficeJet 6500A Plus using my HP Probook laptop with Windows 7

    I have a new laptop HP ProBook Windows 7. I understand that Windows 8 or parts of it were removed prior to the sale of this laptop to me. It was new and purchased from Amazon via Circuit City. Since purchasing it, my husband and I are pulling our hair out trying to find out why it will not print. I use MyVerizon email and Google Chrome. Nothing prints. I've even tried registering with Yahoo mail. Nothing prints from there either. We have wireless. We've never had this problem before with any of our other laptops, all of which were HP. HELP PLEASE!!!!  We called HP printers but they want to charge us because our printer is out of warranty. But our HP laptop is NEW. What the heck is going on?? I've registered with HP eprint. I've registered with Snapfish. All have been "confirmed." Yet I STILL can't print.  Can anyone help?? My email is [email protected]  THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!!

    Hi there,
    Sorry to hear you  are having so many problems with your printer/PC.
    Have you downloaded the most recent printer drivers for your new laptop? If not you'll find them here:  Once your printer drivers are installed for your particular operating system, the printer should communicate with the laptop. 
    You mentioned something about parts of Windows 8 being removed from your Windows 7 laptop - I'm not sure if this is possible. My understanding is that it can't be a hybrid of two operating systems. It should be one or the other.  Please verify what operating system is installed on your laptop before downloading the corresponding drivers.
    How e-print works is that you register and assign an e-mail address to your printer ([email protected]). You then forward any e-mails or file attahments that you want printed to [email protected] and it will print from your printer.
    I've included some information on getting started with e-print here

  • Can't Print from a networked computer

    Installed Officejet 6500A Plus as a wireless device. The Dell PC (Windows 7 64 bit), hard-wired to the router, prints fine. The ASUS netbook (XP Home), which is part of my network will not print and does not recognize (or see)  the printer. Tried re-installing this Officejet (a) hard-wired to the PC and then (b) hard-wrired to the router. Same result.
    This Officejet replaced an HP Officejet 6110 all-in-one which was hard wired to the PC and everything worked fine back then. What am I missing?

  • Can you print from an iPad 2 using 3G in a home with no computer or wifi by using an iPhone 5 hot spot connection if the printer has been set up in another place with live wifi? I know this question is loaded but my dad lives in a rural area

    Can you print from an iPad 2 using 3G in a home with no other computer or wifi by using an iPhone 5 hot spot connection if the printer has been set up in another place with live wifi? I know this question is loaded but my dad lives in a rural area and is wanting a printer to use occasionally. He doesn't want to deal with a computer and I keep his iPad updated for him at my home.  Please shed some light on this for us PLEASE. Thanks

    In that case, it should be possible. I haven't tried this directly, but I believe it should work.
    You'll need to get an actual AirPrint compatible Printer.
    Check here for a list of Printers you can choose from.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    Once you have the compatible printer, using the Hotspot feature from the iPhone he'll have to create the Wifi bubble form the iPhone, and connect the Printer to that Wifi network.
    Then connect the iPad to that same Wifi network provided by the iPhone. When all that is done, the printer should appear in any of the Apps that can Print under the Action Arrow button.
    For instance in email, pressing the action arrow should show a Print option. In there the printer should appear.
    Alternatively you can simply buy a wireless router and setup the network through there even if there is no internet attached.  Connect the wireless printer to the router network, and connect the iPad or iPhone to that same wifi network to print.

  • Can not print from network share.

    When a PDF document is printed from a network share whe're getting this error:
    Windows cannot find 'T:\temp\test.pdf'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search.
    This happens when a user click on the document with a right mouse click and select "print".
    But when the users copies it to his desktop and then select print with the right mouse click. The document print as normally. What could be the problem?
    we are using adobe reader 7.0.0

    Suggest that you check to make sure that you installed Bonjour Print Services for Windows v2.0.2 on the PC.
    Run the program and hopefully it will find your printer so you can select it and click to get things going.

  • Should I  be able to use a Lexmark Pro 205 wireless printer from my iPad 1?  My iPad can't find the printer.  Iveinstalled the Lexprint app on iPad and downloaded the Lexmark Listener on desktop computer. Still can't print from iPad.

    Should I be able to use a Lexmark Pro 205 wireless 3 in 1 printer with iPad 1?  I have installed the LexPrint app on iPad, downloaded the Lexmark Listener on desktop computer but still can't print from iPad. My iPad cannot find the printer.  But I can print from desktop without USB cable. I upgraded the system on my iPad sometime ago.  Suggestions??

    Here is the list of AirPrint printers, and you particular printer is not on it.  So that means you will need to use the Lexmark app, and print through your computer.
    There is a Lexmark guy that hangs around these forums who may chime in with a response as well.

  • HT4356 I have an air-print enabled printer: HP Premium e-all-in-one C310.  Can't print from iPad iOS6.  They're on the same network, but have different IP addresses.  On the iPad it's 192.16.1.126 and on my printer it's 192.168.1.133.  Can I match them? H

    I can't print from my iPad2 to my air-print enabled printer (HP Premium e-all-in-one C310).  They're on the same network, but have differed IP addresses!  The iPad IP is 192-168-1.126 and the printer is 192-168.1.133.  That's the only difference I can see.  Is there a way to fix this?

    fyi:
    you put periods between the numbers.
    Each device needs a unique number.
    for the 192.168.1 the right must number should vary.  192.168.1.x
    the numbers you have look ok.
    Power off all devices: wifi router, printer, ipad.. wait 10 minutes.  poweron router ... wait power on printer wait then power on ipad.
    cross fingers.

    I've got a wireless network with one iMac and a Vista PC, on the Vista PC is through USB a printer connected. How can i print from my iMac to that particular printer ?

    You need to turn on Printer Sharing on both the PC and OS X. I can't help you on Vista but in OS X it's System Preferences - Sharing - check the Printer Sharing box.

  • Can't print from a windows pc to network printer

    I am having a network printer problem.
    I have a Canon printer plugged into the usb port of my Mac-Mini.  I can print fine from the Mac to the printer.  I have network sharing enabled for the printer.
    I have a Dell PC connected to an Airport Express via internet cable as part of my network.
    I have bonjour installed on the Dell
    Bonjour can see the networked canon printer and will install it as the default printer for the Dell PC.
    However, I can not print from the Dell unless I have the wrong printer driver (an HP driver) installed.  As long as the wrong driver is installed I can print the first page of a document only.
    If I install the correct Canon driver, the printer ceases to function.
    I tried connecting the printer to the airport express via usb.  Once I did this, I was able to print from the Dell pc with no problem using the correct driver.  But then, I could no longer print from the Mac-mini via the Airport Express connected printer.  The Mac could see the printer and identify that it was connected via Airport.  And the Mac will allow me to connect to the Airport connected printer .  But as soon as I trie to print something from the Mac, it fails and gives an error message or pauses and says the drivers may not be correct.
    Can anyone help me with this issue?

    Detective445 wrote:
    I believe that there may not be a solution to this because the printer will only recognize one set of drivers.  Since one set of drivers is for the Mac and one set is for a PC It will only work with one machine or the other.
    Then you should be able to print from the Mini after resetting the printer, e.g. by turning it off and back on after a short while. But it sounds as if this won't help either, and to be frank, it's not an "acceptable" explanation, either...
    So, what's the error message? Unless known, we can only keep guessing:
    You've reset the printer system in the Mini? Eventually consider deleting the Canon drivers manually afterwards, and only then add the printer again and re-install its software.
    If that doesn't help either, the issue must be a communication problem, meaning I'd recommend to double-/triple-check all comm-related things as well.

  • How can I print from ipad to non wireless printer?

    How can I print from ipad to non wireless printer. 
    ....been trying to save document to pc to print.... but cant find a way to do so.....?

    Actually you can print to a non wireless printer if you have apps on the iPad and your computer that will do this and as long as you can set up a WiFi network or the iPad and the computer are already on the same network.
    I Am running an old OSX version on my iMac at work (Tiger OSX 10.4.11) and I have an app on my iPad called Save2 pdf. I downloaded a helper app on the Mac called WePrint. I do not have WiFi at work, but I create a WiFi network using the Ethernet connection to the Mac that my iPad can also join. As long as I can send the file/text/document to the Save2pdf app, I can print it on my old HP LaserWriter1012 which is not a wireless printer. This uses the Mac as the print server and the WePrint app on the Mac sends the doecument to the printer.
    It's not a very elegant solution, and it is a little convoluted, but it does work.

  • How Can I Print from my Microsoft Surface Running Windows 8 RT?

    How Can I Print from my Microsoft Surface Running Windows 8 RT?
    Most new wireless printers won’t have a problem printing from the Microsoft Surface with Windows 8 RT.  All you should have to do for these printers is tell them to print and they will.  Older wireless, Ethernet, and USB printers might not have an officially supported driver in Windows 8 RT, but there is a way to get the printers working.  There are different requirements depending on how the printer is being connected to the Surface. 
    Note:  All steps below are only for PhotoSmart, OfficeJet, DeskJet, and other HP Inkjet printers.  These steps are not for Laserjet printers or printers from other manufacturers.  These steps may not work for all Inkjet printers.  If these steps don’t work, try different drivers from the list until you find one that will work (you’ll understand what I mean once you follow the steps below).  If none of the drivers work, your printer will not work with the Surface.
    For networked printers (wireless or Ethernet), all you need is either the Surface keyboard, or an external USB keyboard to connect to the Surface.  This just makes anything you have to type easier to type.  You will also need to have the Surface and the printer connected to the same network. 
    Starting from the right edge, swipe your finger left on the Surface screen to bring up the Charms bar.
    Touch Search.
    Below the Search Box, touch Settings.
    In the search Box, type Devices and Printers.
    Touch Devices and Printers.
    Touch Add a Printer.
    Touch “My printer is not listed”.
    Select the TCP/IP option and touch Next.
    Enter the printer’s IP address and touch Next.  Note:  You can get this from the printer’s Network Configuration Page, or from your router’s DHCP list.
    The Surface will locate the printer and try to install it.  The install will fail and the Surface will ask you what you want to do, search the internet for the driver, or manually install the driver.  Choose to install the driver yourself.
    Touch “I want to choose from a list of drivers”.
    If no drivers appear in the list, make sure the box next to “Show compatible drivers” is not checked.
    Choose HP from the Manufacture list.
    Choose DeskJet PCL 3 Class Driver from the Drivers list.  If that driver doesn't work, try using the Photosmart PCL3 driver, or the Officejet PCL 3 driver.  (Thank you JonW for letting me know about these other alternates. )
    Touch Next.
    Touch Finish.
    Test printing.
    For USB connected printers, you will need a USB cord to attach the printer to the computer.
    Connect the printer to the computer via USB.
    Windows will try to find the drivers but will not be able to.
    Here Windows may ask you if you want to choose the driver to install.  If it does skip to step 14 below.
    Starting from the right edge, swipe your finger left on the Surface screen to bring up the Charms bar.
    Touch Search.
    Under the Search box, touch Settings.
    In the Search box, type Device Manager.
    Touch Device Manager.
    Touch View and select Show Hidden.
    Search for the printer in the Device Manager.  It should be under Other Devices with a yellow caution sign beside it.
    Select the printer from the list.
    Touch Action.
    Touch Update Driver, or Install whichever one it displays.
    The Surface will ask you what you want to do, search the internet for the driver, or manually install the driver.  Choose to install the driver yourself.
    Touch “I want to choose from a list of drivers”.
    If no drivers appear in the list, make sure the box next to “Show compatible drivers” is not checked.
    Choose HP from the Manufacture list.
    Choose DeskJet PCL 3 Class Driver from the Drivers list.  If that driver doesn't work, try using the Photosmart PCL3 driver, or the Officejet PCL 3 driver.  (Thank you JonW for letting me know about these other alternates. )
    Touch Next.
    Touch Finish.
    Test printing.
