Can't share files/printer with Windows computer anymore

I had a perfectly working wireless home network with a windows xp and dlink router but then I moved...now I got the internet working and I have the same setup but I can't get anything to print from my Macbook or connect to server to share files.
how can I find out if all the setting are the same or what is causing the problem.
MacbookPro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

More info please...
Is the Printer on the Windows® machine I take it?
Care to give us IPs of the various Computers/Routers involved?
Were you printing via IP before or what?

Can't share local printer in Windows 7 Pro-error 0x000006d9

Hello,
I recently purchased a laptop and wanted to share my local printer, attached via USB to my desktop (tower) in my home. My desktop runs Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. My laptop runs Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
When I try to share my printer, accept the default printer name (or modify it), from the sharing tab of printer properties, I get an error: "printer settings could not be saved. Operation could not be completed (error 0x000006d9)".
I did some searching in this forum and via google but this error code does not appear for this type of issue (i.e. printer sharing). Does anyone have any suggestions?
I also verified my Event Viewer and see no errors whatsoever related to printer or network settings or file and printer sharing. I CAN share my files on THIS desktop with the laptop and have already transferred files from the desktop to the laptop successfully. But printer sharing is giving the above error.
** Also, I MAY have a related problem but I am unsure about this, so I wanted to mention this in this same thread in case they are related: I cannot start the homegroup listener service from services on the desktop (win 7 pro) - get error code 2147023143. Homegroups are NOT setup (not created) on neither the laptop nor the desktop. Again, I tried to search for this error code but the results are inconclusive.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Its now been THREE YEARS since this "bug" has been discovered and resolved by a user, and there is not one word about it in MS's online help. Today I had this exact issue of not being able to share a printer on Windows 7 with other computers on my
my local network. And this is the same printer I've been sharing with the same network for nearly FIVE YEARS!! I have always used 3rd party virus/firewall software, but I don't disable the windows firewall. Rather I just set it to "Manual"
because some network software seems to need it occassionally. The result is the same however, as is the solution. I had updated and reinstalled my printer software, and apparantly sharing is disabled by default. After stumbling upon this
thread, after several hours wasted searching Windows Help and Microsoft "NON"-Support websites and KB's, I simply ran the firewall just long enough to enable sharing, and instantly the backlog of spoolled print jobs began printing.
Thank you. You would think MS would have at least written this solution into their help files by now ... but than again, they are probably making money with their "paid" support option from all the desperate people who suddenly can't use there printers.
Probably charging $50 just to tell people to turn the firewall on for a few seconds. I can't think of another reason to conveniently omit this simple solution from the "free" support.

How can I share a printer with iOS devices?

I'm using a Mini with Lion and would like to share my printer with my iOS devices. They will only see AirPrint devices of which I have none. Is there a way to configure my Mini to make it's shared printer available to my wireless iOS devices?

You can install applications like Printopia or AirPrint Activator. These will share your printer on the Mac to your iOS devices.

How to share my printer with windows 7 professional

I have an iMac-27 with Lion 10.7.2
I have a printer attached to my iMac which I want to share with a Windows 7 Professional PC.
I am not able to add the printer in Windows, i.e. the printer does not appear in the list of available printers.

The link provided refers to sharing a Windows 7printer. My printer is attached to my iMac and it does not appear as an available printer on the Windows 7 machine.
I've read that Windows 7 and Mac OS X aren't playing nice these days.

Can I share Creative Cloud with another computer, more specifically Photoshop.

I have two computers in the house. One in my studio and one in the office. The one in the office is connected to my giclee printer and does not have photoshop. I cannot fit the printer in my studio so I want to do my professional prints from the other computer. Can I install my photoshop on that computer as well? If so, how?

Hi,
Yes, adobe allows up to two of your own computers to have the creative cloud installed.

Additional question: Can you share files on a Windows Network?

Is it possible to share your files on an iPad across my Windows network?

Like other's have mentioned, Dropbox will let you download files to your Dropbox account on your computer (just go to dropbox.com to download to your computer for free) and then from the Dropbox app (free in the App Store), you can access them. Works fine for me. They give you a free box with limited storage. If you want more storage, you can of course buy more........

How can I share my iTunes with another computer who is in another state?

I just want to send my sister one song from my iTunes because its a recording of her daughter when she was 2. She no longer has the file and I only have it saved in my iTunes from a long ago. The only known file is the one I have saved on iTunes. I tried to do home sharing but I dont know how to do that being we are in different states. She lives in Oklahoma and I live in California. She has a mac computer as do I. We are both current with updates, is there a way to Ping it to her? Or even translate the file to the desktop to send in an email?
Any help will due. Her daughter will be turning 10 soon, I thought it would be cute to show her the clip of when she was smaller!
Thank you

Just email it.
In iTunes, drag the file to the desktop.
On the desktop, select the file right click Share > email.

You do make regular backups of your computer, correct?
Use Time Machine?

I can see my wi-fi with windows computer, but NOT with any of my apple devices

I cannot see my wi-fi with any Apple device, but AM able to use my non-Apple comupter

That is a reversal of note.. normally people are struggling to get their windoze boxes to work.
Reset the Airport to factory and start over.
Use all short names, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
Leave off the wireless security until you confirm it works... then add wpa2 personal security with a 10-20 character pure alphanumeric password.
You can also try fixing wireless channels.. test 11, 6, 1 for 2.4ghz in that order.

Hey Juergen119,
I would recommend syncing your photos from your computer to your iPad by using iTunes:
iTunes: Syncing photos
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
First, if you want to set it up to work via iCloud, I would check and make sure My Photo Stream is set up correctly on your devices:
To use My Photo Stream you need an iCloud account, compatible devices, and up-to-date software:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5.1 or later
Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and iPhoto 9.2.2 or Aperture 3.2.3 or later
Apple TV (2nd generation) with Apple TV Software Update 5.0 or later
PC with Windows 7 or later and the iCloud Control Panel 2.1 or later for Windows
For complete iCloud setup instructions, visit How to set up iCloud.
Then, once it is set up, you can upload your photos to My Photo Stream by following these directions:
PC with iCloud Control Panel 2.0 or later: Open a Windows Explorer window and under Favorites select iCloud Photos if you are using iCloud Control Panel 3.0 (or Photo Stream if you are using 2.0 to 2.1.2). Open My Photo Stream. Click the "Add photos" button. Select the photos to import to My Photo Stream, then click Open.

Can I share files from other programs or just Adobe apps files. I work with Final Cut and Premiere X

Can I share files from other programs or just Adobe apps files. I work with Final Cut and Premiere X.? Need to share files up to 6GB.
I need to know if the 20 gb limit is about all that I share, or if it's just about whatis in the clouds. If I take, recover my limit?
The speed of upload e download is good?

The Creative Cloud file storage could be used for video assets but speed and performance might vary based on location. I would suggest you testing it out yourself using your Adobe ID before subscribing. Performance would not change after you joined.

No iDisk-like functionality exists in iCloud. You'll have to look elsewhere, such as Dropbox or SugarSync.

Share printer with Windows 7 via Airport Express?

I would like to share a printer with a Windows 7 Laptop via airport express. The Windows 7 Pc does not detect the printer whereas printing from the Macbook Pro works fine. Any ideas?

Hi, I was searching for the same (my colleague has a windows PC; everyone else here has mac). I have not tested this, since I am working on mac, but it seems like you need to install "Bonjour" for windows.
