Error 0x00000709 Networked printer not working in a home network with HomeGroup enabled.

I should start by describing my network by device.
Gateway device - Motorola SB5120 SURFboard cable modem
Router/WAP device - Linksys Wireless G Broadband Router with 4 port Switch Model: WRT54G v4 Security: WPA2 with firewall.
Windows 7 Ultimate Desktop with Homegroup enabled (Printer driver installed & ethernet wired)
Windows 7 Pro Laptop set to homegroup for the Desktop (Ethernet wired and Wireless depending on the situation)
Windows 7 Home set to homegroup for the Desktop (Wireless)
Brother Printer Model: HL-2170W (Wireless)
HP Printer Model: HP Officejet 6500A Plus (Wireless)
What have I done?
Installed drivers on 2 of the 3 computers. The final computer (Win7 Home) was added in later and works fine when connecting to the internet through the WAP. However it does not even find the printer when trying to install the driver which is a part of the
process for driver installation for the Brother Printer.
I had set up the printer for two of the three computers and had it working at one time however in trying to get the printer set up for the final computer I somehow have messed up those settings.
During that setup I tried to move the printer to a networked printer (It was shared before and installed on the network with both the Desktop and the Win7Pro lappy able to print but it would not print for the new arrival to the Homenetwork. This caused
me to seek a solution which involved installing the proper driver in the Win7Home and the discovery that the driver installer could not find the Brother printer at all which prompted the moving of the printer to a networked printer.) (The Win7Home computer does
not find the HP printer either but that is a can of worms yet unopened.)
I am sure there are a few things that I did not do correctly and I may have left out some additional information which you may require. If I can help clarify this question please feel free to query me. I thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

Hi,
May I know that are these two network printer with network adapter? If they are installed on the network, you could add them and install the drivers for Windows 7.
Here is one article and two discussions can be referred to.

Network print not working

I recently set up printer sharing between my desktop and laptop computers. The HP printer I installed on the desktop system via USB connection was an F4280. That system is running Vista 64. Print jobs from the desktop print fine but when I install the shared printer on my laptop it does not print. The laptop sees the shared printer, appears to print but there is nothing printed. I paused the printer from the desktop system and resubmit the print job from the laptop and I can see the entry in the printer queue. When I resume the printer it just disappears - no error messages, no output.
I also have an Epson printer that I have done the same process with and it works fine from both computers so it appears the networking is working.   They are connect to a wireless router - Linksys 802.11g
What is happening with the HP printer and what can I do to fix it?

Hi Dinesh_G,
Sorry for the delayed response. Try adding an alternate driver. Here is a link that will provide steps for that. Click Here Check which PCL driver you are currently using and add the alternate (PCL5/PCL6). Please see the below for additional clarification.
Utilize the above link for exact steps on adding the driver.
1. Check which driver currently used-PCL5 or PCL6-this will be located near name of driver in print folder or print properties
2. Follow steps provided in link to add whichever one the currently installed driver is using
     A. Select HP as manufactuer
     B. Select HP universal printing PCL 6 or HP universal printing PCL 5
3. Attempt duplex print job
Hope this helps!

Network printing not working...

Hi there!
I wanted to print a document out of Pages on my Canon IP3000 (connected on an eMac) by using the networkprint function.
But that doesn't work! It appears a Message: "Print error". I added the networkprinter again and again, but that won't help!
Then I tryed to print in TextEdit and MS Word and that worked fine!
Why doesn't Pages print on the IP3000? (On my i450x, connected directly to my iMac it works.)
I hope here are some people who can help me!
Thanks!
Mike.

Like Bonjour, not all printers support IPP (= internet printing protocol) - it started around 1999. Most do support LPD and HP Jetdirect (HP Jetdirect is called raw port 9100 on Windows). The LPD and IPP protocols require us to enter the printer's queue name (also called port name) in the Print & Fax add printer dialog. HP Jetdirect doesn't use queue name.
So, use LPD and find the queue name, or try the HP Jetdirect protocol.
You can go to Windows and printer properties and then to Ports to see the configuration - queue name or port 9100.

Network printer not working

Should be a simple task... I'm obviously missing something simple.
I have a HP C4380 inkjet connected to my server (10.6.8) via USB. If I follow the Apple Printer Admin manual, p25, it says to configure the print queue "enter an IP or DNS name". I'm using USB.
SO... I deviate from the manual, and try this:
I setup a LOCAL printer, and it recognizes it just fine. Setup no problem.
Go back into Print Service, and now I see my printer queue - already setup - but no protocol is checked. And, my clients (10.6.8) can't see it, unless I check "LPR" and "Show name in bonjour".
Then, my clients can see it - however, when I add it, I have to manually select the "print using:" driver (c4380), and when sending a test page, the queue on the client simply says "In use" for 2 seconds, then "Paused" forever after. The server queue doesn't even show a job, nor is there anything in the logs that indicates that a job even came in.
Please help point me in the right direction,
Thanks,
Jason

Disconnect the USB cable, and plug an ethernet cable into the printer, assign an IP address, and set up a DNS host. Then follow the rest of the instructions.
Network printers are far easier to deal with than are host-based printers. Serving host-based printers to a network is typically more management and more cost for fewer features and with more oddities.

Actually I have found one more input into this. My wifi network supports 802.11b+g+n and not 802.11ac.
Could this be the possible problem ?

WEP not working in Vista Home Premium with Linksys WRT54GS version 5

Bought a new computer with Vista and installed the router. Made it so WEP is enabled. When I try to connect with a laptop or my other computer in my home, it will not take the WEP key and says it can't connect. I've reinstalled and redid the network, still won't work. It works if I don't enable WEP, but I need security. Is this problem fixable or do I need to buy a different router? My second computer has the Wireless PCI adapter WMP54G. This adapter worked perfectly in my last computer. Any help?

Make sure your router has the latest firmware and try using WPA security. WEP is not that secure any more but something is better then nothing at all. Make sure your laptop has all the Windiws Updates and the firewall is off.

So my airport extreme recently had some nat/dns issue and in the airport utility displayed a warning about it and to correct it. I wasn't sure what to do so i pressed the resolve icon and now my guest network is not working.

Anytime you change networking hardware, it is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle of your networking components.
I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

Error 0x00000709 operation could not be compleated Double check the printer name etc.

After installing my new printer and removing all other printers from my computer I now can not make the only printer listed as my default printer. I get this error 0X00000709 operation could not be completed Double check the printer name and make sure it is connected. I have done all that over and over again. I also I have reinstalled the old printer software and tried to default to my new printer at that time and still the same error. I have checked my register and it has the old printer listed but does not allow me to change it. I now have removed all but the new printer from my computer but I still can not make it my default printer. Programs such as Adobe only recognizes the default printer (which is not there any more) and don't even list the new printer as an option. The printer works just fine accept with the programs that uses the default printer. The Windows Hardware and Device Troubleshooting finds the problem (printer not set as default)but can not fix it.
I sure wish someone out there could help me get rid of the error and allow me to default my printer again. I have noticed other people have had this same issue with error 0X00000709 using other Windows versions as well. I have been trying to resolve this issue for the past three months and would appreciate any and all ideas.
I have an HP Pavilion elite HPE 337C computer running with Window 7 and I installed my new HP LaserJet PRO CM1415fnw color MFP printer. My old printer that I removed (but is still listed in my Regester) was an HP 6500 inkJet.

After doing some research on the net:
This link provided an answer:
https://exploreb2b.com/articles/solving-error-0x00000709-cant-set-default-printer-problem
Regedit -> HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software->Microsoft->Windows NT->Current Version->Windows
One of the entries you should see in the right hand pane is“Device”. If the value for “Device” as noted under the “Data” area is anything other than the printer you are using, then highlight “Device” in the right hand pane with the mouse and press the delete key to remove it. (I edited it and put the name of the printer I wanted to be the default)
VI. Restart the computer so it starts with the altered Windows system registry. (Italics mine)

I cant access any printers, not even the virtual printers.
What I would do is use ProcMon to find out why that Event entry was written. Then I imagine I would get a clue about a .dll which might be involved, which hopefully might be registerable. Since IE9 there have been new .dll involving printing
which have not been reflected in any of our repair tools. However, instead of modifying our old scripts to reflect this fact, I have been advocating, so far unsuccessfully, that Microsoft create a proper IE Repair tool, one which does not rely on such
unreliable techniques.   E.g. a better method of repairing would be to have it done by a proper troubleshooter (an .msdt file) but so far it seems nothing has been done in that way for these symptoms (again, assuming the cause is registry corruption
and not simple interference from now incompatible third-party programming--the fix for that would be to identify and remove the incompatibilities.)   For example.

Adding shared printers? Network printer not showing up in list

I have a network printer not showing up in the Bonjour Printer Wizard. There is not a place to add a printer to this list. Does my network printer need to be installed under the Windows side as well, or can I share it using Bonjour? I'm confused as to how the shared printer program works. Also, my Adobe "print to pdf" option shows up as a printer, but how do I change the file destination location? It doesn't give me an option to change the "saved to" location. I am using these printers through Parallels in AutoCad, and that should be the only reason I will need to share printers. But I am in AutoCad a good deal of time, so I need to know how to quickly print my drawings.

Welcome to the forums!
You don't say if you installed after downloading the Printer you deleted, but I suspect it's one not showing, and that you need to reinstall.

Did you do the Reset Network Settings as I described above?
There is no way to go back. You can try reseating your nanoSIM or replacing it. Or call your cell provider and have them check the provisioning on your phone.
Or Restore your iPhone from your backup in iTunes.

Printer not working following iPad uodate

Printer not working following iPad upgrade

Hi,
Is the printer not mechanically working or are you having a problem with printing wirelessly from your device? Was the upgrade to the ipad software or did you get a new ipad?
Try restarting your apple device - It's a simple fix that sometimes helps re-establish the connection to the printer.
Other things to check would be that there have been no recent changes to the wifi password.
