Can't print from other network computers

Windows 7
HP Photosmart C4650
Installed on main computer and everything is great! Added the printer to the other computers in the home network, 1 wired and 2 laptops wireless, all running Windows 7. went through the properties and shared the printer, etc. Everything looks great. Test page prints from the main computer as well as anything else I print from there...........but..........
from the other computer, ZIP, ZERO, NADA!!!!!
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!!
Any help greatly appreciated, thanks.

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

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 Windows computers to a shared printer on my iMac

The windows boxes can see the printer. When print jobs are submitted from Windows computers nothing gets printed. However the print queue on the iMac states that the job completed successfully.
The configuration is -
20 in iMac
OS 10.4.8
Windows computers are running XP SP2
Printer - HP Officejet 4315 All-in-One
20 in iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

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't print from my deskjet 3050

hi, I bought the deskjet 3050 printer and recieved it yesterday. I have not yet been able to print any documents from my laptop. I have correctly installed the ink cartridges and the printer is able to print items selected from the printer screen menu. It is also able to scan items onto the laptop. There are no error messages next to the printer when it is selected on the control panel. However, when i send items to the printer from the laptop they will not print. When I select to view my print list, any item that is sent displays an error message with no explanation next to it. I have also been trying to 'estimate ink levels' but an error message flashes up which reads 'the computer is unable to establish two-way communication with the device'. I have installed all the appropriate drivers. Is there anything you can suggest?
Thanks

Hi Mryniak,
I understand that you're not able to print from the web. I have a couple of questions for you. Can you print from other programs on your printer? What browser are you using? Have you tried a different browser such as Google Chrome?

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.

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 MAC on network

HP PSC 1410 connected to a Lenovo running Windows Vista. Printer is shared on the network. Print job from MAC gets into print queue on Vista machine. Status goes from Spooling to Printing but then goes to Error - Printing. Can print from other Windows machines on the network.

Hello @jerseyjim119!
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!
From what I understand it sounds like you are trying send the print job from the Mac to the printer shared through the Vista computer. From what I can find you can only share the printer with a Mac on the network using USB into a AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme Base Station. Do you have your printer plugged into one of those Base Stations? Here is a link regarding Setting Up Your HP Printer on a Network with Apple AirPort.
I am unable to locate any other way to share this printer on the network through a Windows operating system to a Mac computer and I am not too sure if that connection is supported. For any further assistance I recommend contacting our phone support. Please call our technical support at 1-800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region. http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-phone-assist.html

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?

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.

I can't print in Adobe 11.0, I can print from other programs?

I have confirmed that I can print from other programs.

I have installed a new printer just today and confirmed the drivers are up todate.
I have confirmed there are no security issues with the document - documents.
I have tried printing the document as an image and it still will not print.

Help!

I tried printing a simple PDF.
We couldn't print PDF's prior to the replacment of the printer, but I thought replacing the printer might help.
I have pulled some tech people here at the office to see if there is a common denominator between the computers and or the issues arising and nothing is coming up.
This is just so odd.

I am logged on to a wifi and can see files from other users on this network. Can they see my files as well?

Yes and no. It depends on your settings.
Go into "System Preference" and click on "Sharing"
If you have services checked such as "File Sharing" then others can see your computer on the network. But you really don't need to worry because others would need your username and password to have access to your files.
What you see are just computers annousing themselfs on the network. To have access to said computers, Username and Passwords are required.
Hope this helps

hi
could you tell us what the other app is please

I can not print from Firefox, but can from all other browsers and applications (such as MS Word, notepad, etc.). I get a print error on the printing monitor like it's a spooling problem.

This is a recent development but I can not print anything from within Firefox. The print functions open normally, it is going to the correct printer which works..I can print from other browsers and applications. It acts like it is spooling and then a print error occurs and it won't print. I closed and reopened Firefox, opened it in safe mode, cleaned out history/cache/cookies, and rebooted twice. Nothing makes any difference. Also tried printing from the print preview which had the same result. I can print from all other browsers and applications without a problem so it must be within Firefox.
