Connecting a second computer to wireless printer

I have just installed the software for the Envy 4500 printer and everything is working fine. I would like to be able to print from a second computer but have been unable to locate instructions on how to install on a second computer. Can anyone direct me to the instructions?
This question was solved.

Hi,
The way is similar to the first computer: put the CD software and drivers which comes with the pronter on to the second, third, .... computer and run setup.

  • Connecting a second computer to BThub 4 via cable

    I do not think this is a BT problem but if any one has any advice it will be appreciated.
    For a long time I have had 2 computers and a laptop connected through a BT hub 3. One computer (Vista) was connected by ethernet cable with the other two computers (windows XP) connected by wireless. Everything worked well.
    Because hub 3 died I now have a Hub 4. However, I need to change the way my computers connect to the Hub. This means that there will be two computers connected by ethernet cable. The original computer connecterd by ethernet cable is set up just as it was prveiously and works well.
    I connected the second computer with the ethernet cable supplied by BTand anticipated it would work. Unfortunately, for some reason I can't get the connection to work despite going through the wizard process of connecting from the computer both directly and via the small home network that is already establised.
    One irritating thing is that, although I select a "direct cable connection" in the set up process, when trying to connect I get a screen stating dial-up failed and a retry is instigated. I am not using a modem!
    I have tried re configuring things but to no avail, so getting to the end of my ideas, i wonder if anyone on the forum could give me some guidance.
    Regards

    Hi
    Thanks to you guys for your help. the main problem was the absence of a net work card. This is now in place and I can make a connection tp the internet via the BT Hub. However, there is still one problem and this is as follows.
    Computer A (windows XP) and computer B  (Windows Vista) are connected to a small BT hub home network via ethernet cables.
    On computer B (which has been successfully connected to the hub for about 2 years) clicking on network places > " view workgroup computers" shows a map which includes the BThub, it's self (B) and computer A.
    If I do the same on computer A, it shows it's self but not the othe computer or the hub. Despite this it works perfectly well accessing the internet.
    Because I need to transfer files via this network I need to see the othe computer(S) and open files on them, however, I have spent some time trying to establish the presence of other devices on computer A without success.
    I have checked folder permissions are granted and I have tried to view the other devices with the firewall switched off but so far no success.
    Suggestions gratefully received.
    Regards,
    David

  • HT3500 How do I connect my iPad to my wireless printer?

    How do I connect my iPad to my wireless printer?

    Your iPad should be able to print directly to your printer if it is an AirPrint compatible model.
    Check this Apple support document to see if your printer is compatible.

    I need help connecting my iPad to my wireless printer?

    Add to Templeton's post: Never hurts to power down the iPad, count to 10, then turn it on again.  When my iPad loses touch with our printer, we power cycle the iPad, and that normally fixes the issue.  Also review the link in Templeton's post.

    I Am trying to connect a advent w10 wireless printer to a iPad .i have tried various apps but ,it is a wireless printer not a air printer,,

    Directly no. Though there are applications  that run on your computer that can share the connected printer out to your iPad through a wireless network .
    For Mac look into Printopia

  • Where did the window go that gives the choice to connect by bonjour to a wireless printer in Mac OS 10.8?

    I am trying to set up a wireless printer to a new macbook pro.  Both the printer and the computer are on the same network but are "not connected".  The printer works fine connected USB.  In previous systems there is a window that gives the choice of how to connect and bonjour is listed along with USB.  I cannot seem to find that window in 10.8.  I think the computer is just trying to connect USB and needs to be told to look for wireless printers?  The printer does not even appear in the add window when it is unplugged.  The drivers are updated.  I have restarted everything.  I have also run the wireless set up app that came with the printer.  Any suggestions will be appreciated.
    Thanks, Barbara

    First is the wireless in the printer connected to your router? Is the Mac connected wireless to that same router? Can the Mac ping (/YourHardDrive/Applications/Utilities/Network Utility, ping mini-tab) the printer's IP (that your wireless router gave to that printer)?
    Plus in 10.8.x to add a printer is first to get it's "driver" for that printer. Sometimes Apple might have a driver (for certain models) that will get in Software Update (when printer is attched to your Mac). The other way is to go to printer's web page and get their latest OS X drivers.
    Then once you have the drive just open System Preferences->Print & Scan pane and use the + button to add the new driver for the printer. For this networked printer make sure you get the IP of that printer because you might need that IP here.

  • How do I connect my iPad to my wireless printer

    How do I connect my wireless printer to my I pad

    iOS devices can only print directly to AirPrint printers. All AirPrint printers are wireless but not all wireless printers are capable of using AirPrint.
    To print directly from an iPad / iPhone you will need an AirPrint compatible printer or another device to act as a print server. That can be a Mac computer running Printopia ($19.95 with free trial) or handyPrint (donation - supported). The Mac must be "on" but may be asleep for them to work. Equivalent PC options may exist but you're on your own finding them.
    You can also buy this standalone print server:
    http://www.lantronix.com/it-management/xprintserver/xprintserver.html
    The xPrintServer Home Edition will support a directly connected USB printer. The Network Edition will support any network printer.
    These options enable you to use any printer available to your Mac, even older ones that may predate AirPrint by decades.
    Otherwise you will need to buy an AirPrint printer or multifunction device.

  • WRT110 wireless printer connection to Brother HL-2170W wireless printer

    New here and I have a question.
    I have Linksys WRT110 wireless router that works great. I have 7 notebooks working very well. Assignment were done with WEP connection and made sure that all the MAC addresses are registered and limits that router to recognize only computers with such MAC addresses... no problems at al here.
    Recently I bought Brother HL-2170W wireless printer... followed all the instructions in their manual, registered its MAC address in my router, provided WEP key to the printer (via their web browser utility)... and this is where the brain fart started...
    I can ping to my router just fine... I can ping the printer from the router just fine... however, I can not get the printer to work with any of my notebooks... It works fine if I connect it via USB or Ethernet connections, but nothing on the wireless side..
    I know the IP address that this printer was assigned via DHCP... When I programmed the printer with the correct IP address, it also points to port number 9100... and this is where it falls apart...
    Can someone please tell me what am I doing wrong or better yet, what step am I missing?
    Thank you in advance!

    You said "I know the IP address that this printer was assigned via DHCP... When I programmed the printer with the correct IP address, it also points to port number 9100...".
    When you programmed the printer, do you mean that you entered the DHCP assigned address directly into the printer, so the printer could use it as a fixed (static) LAN IP address?  If so, this might be the cause for your problem.  When you manually assign an IP address to a printer (or other network device), by entering that address directly into the printer, then you must use an IP address that is outside the DHCP server range.  See "Using Static LAN IP addresses" below, for more info on this topic.
    Additionally, to get your printer to work, you must install the network printer drivers on each computer that will use that printer.
    Additionally, for WEP, you must enter WEP "key 1"  (found in the router)  into your printer, not the WEP password or passphrase.
    *****   Using Static LAN IP addresses   *****
    Linksys has several rules for using fixed (static) LAN IP addresses.  You must follow these rules carefully.
    Rules for using fixed LAN IP addresses on Linksys routers:
    With Linksys routers, a fixed (static) LAN IP addresses must be assigned in the device that is using the address. So you need to enter the fixed address in the computer or printer, not in the router.
    When using a Linksys router, any fixed LAN IP address must be outside the DHCP server range (typically 192.168.1.100 thru 192.168.1.149), and it cannot end in 0, 1, or 255.
    Therefore any fixed LAN IP address would normally need to be in the range of
    192.168.1.2 thru 192.168.1.99 or
    192.168.1.150 thru 192.168.1.254
    assuming you are still using the default DHCP server range.
    Also, in the computer, when you set up a static LAN IP address, you would need to set the "Subnet mask" to 255.255.255.0 and the "Default Gateway" to 192.168.1.1 and "DNS server" to 192.168.1.1
    It is also important that no two devices on your network be set to the same static LAN IP address.

    You would have to have one of the few HP printers that support airprint:

    Or you could find an app that provides this feature.

  • How to connect my macbook to a wireless printer?

    My printer has connected to WiFi no problem but I cannot seem to find the printer when in system preferences "add printer"...Please help!

    Hey sharminw,
    Have you installed the printer drivers for your printer? If you already did, and if you are connected to your wireless internet through your computer, you should be able to see your printer under "add printer."
    I noticed I couldn't install a wifi printer through "add printer" unless I had the drivers installed.
    Hope this helps.

  • Unable to connect EA4500 with HP 1525NW wireless printer

    I recently switched from an old linksys router to a new EA4500.  Before I had no trouble connecting my wireless HP printer using the WPS setup.  However with the new EA4500, I tried multiple times without success.
    Here is a solution I found online.  It works.  I had to use the original installation disks that came with the printer to reinstall the software and manually - using a USB - connected my printer to my wireless network.
    Method three: Standard connection using a USB cable
    If your wireless router does not support WiFi-Protected Setup (WPS), you can use this method to set up the product on a wireless network. Using a USB cable to transfer settings makes setting up a wireless connection easier. After the setup is complete, disconnect the USB cable.
    Insert the software CD into the CD drive.
    Follow the on-screen instructions. When prompted, select the Connect through a wireless network option.
    Connect the USB cable ( ) to the product and the computer when prompted.
    CAUTION:
    Do not connect the USB cable until the installation program prompts you.
    When the installation is complete, print a Configuration Report to make sure that the product has an SSID name. Follow these steps to print a configuration report:
    Load plain white paper into tray 1.
    On the product control panel, press OK , and then press OK again to select Reports .
    Press the Right Arrow button ( ) to scroll to and select Config Report .
    When the Configuration Report prints, disconnect the USB cable ( ) from the product.
    You have completed the software installation. Do not perform any more steps in this document.

    Well it's never recommended to do WPS setup for printer.  Following the manual instructions like you posted is the best.
