Find network printer configuration remotely

Hi,
Is there a way to know all my network printers specific configuration,
(we have many print servers,  and many network printers configured with different configurations,  one such is "keep printed documents")
I would to know in my network how many print queues are enabled this configuration option,  if this is possible via script or GUI console.

Thanks for the reply,
I gone through those PS commands,  those cmds only apply for W2K12 servers,  I am looking for cmd or scripting options for win2k3 and above servers,  Its a mixed environment.    
check out this:
Syntax
cscript prncnfg.vbs -t [-s RemoteComputer] -p PrinterName [-u UserName -w Password]

  • HP Deskjet 3050a cannot find network printer

    I need to find out what my IP address is for my printer.  I may have changed it accidently when I was trying to set up my printer to a new router.  I have reset the default settings.  I have tried to go to HP file where it says I can change my IP address and I get the error "cannot find network printer".  I have done all of the obvious deinstall, reinstall, added MAC address to router. Nothing will recognize my printer.  Please help.  Thank you

    Hello again,
    OK, thanks for the updated information.  Try these steps...
    Changing wireless settings
    If you decide to change the wireless network settings for your wireless home network, you will need to configure your wireless printer with the new settings.
    To configure the new wireless settings on a printer that features a Wireless Setup Wizard:
    From the printer’s control panel, open the Wireless Settings menu. Many products provide access to the Wireless Settings by pressing the Wireless Button or touching the Wireless icon on the printer’s control panel. Consult the printer’s help documentation if you do not know how to access the Wireless Settings menu.
    From the Wireless Settings menu select Wireless Setup Wizard. The Wireless Setup Wizard will guide you through the process of configuring your printer with the new wireless settings. Input your Wireless Network Name and Wireless Password when prompted.
    You can print a Wireless Network Test report from the Wireless settings menu to confirm the printer was successfully connected to your network.
    To configure your wireless settings on a printer that does not feature a Wireless Setup Wizard:
    First, make sure your computer is connected to your network. You will also need a USB cable, which is temporarily used during the configuration. Be sure NOT to connect the USB cable between the computer and printer until instructed to do so by the software.
    If your HP printer software is already installed on your computer Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7:
    Use Start -> Programs -> HP -> <your printer model> -> Printer Setup & Software. Windows 8:
    Launch the Printer Software from the Start screen (icon for the printer model name) or from the tile named for your printer.
    Select (click or touch) Utilities on the top of the Printer Software screen
    Select Printer Setup & Software
    Also,
    Link below for some useful information on getting your printer back on the network........Good Luck!

  • Network Printer Configuration

    Hi everyone,
    We have printer model  Xerox WorkCentre 7228 and i have to configure it as network printer.
    I have the name of the printer and its IP address.
    I have 2 questions?
    1. We have SAP installed over HP-UX, so do i have to install unix driver for that network printer?
    2. The printer model Xerox WorkCentre 7228 is not listed in the Device types in SPAD,
        I checked the manufactiurer's website and they are providing device types for SAP R/3.
    How do i proceed, i mean download the device types, and then how to make that info available in SAP?
    Please help.
    Thanks
    Nanda

    Hi Nanda,
    The printer can be configured using one of the following types.
    1) Using SAP protocal
    In this type of configuration, you need to install the network printer on a windows server where you have the SAPSprint installed. For these type of the printer select the Access method 'S'. Give the host printer name as the same name that you have given in the windows server.
    2) Using third party Print setup
    In this you have to choose the Access method as 'E'. But in your case, it involves complete set up of the external Output management system like HPOMS, Columbus OM etc...Give the host printer name as the same name that you have given in the External Output Management system.
    3) Printers set up on the server.
    In this type you need to choose the Accessmethod as 'L'. You need to contact the HP-UX team to configure the printer  on the server on which your SAP runs. Give the host printer name as the same name that you have given in the HP-UX server.
    4) Printing using LOCL.
    In this type of the printer you need to choose device type SWIN and the Accessmethod as F. In this case you need to choose the host printer as __DEFAULT( 2 times Underscore ). This will print on the default printer of windows system of the user who ever is printing on that.
    For the Device Type,  even we have setup a printer using POST2 device type and is working fine.
    Please go through the below notes.
    Note 8928 - List of supported printers/device types.
    You can find some other notes specific to Xerox Model.
    For device type installation we should have that object present in our system.
    SPAD-> Utilities -> Import device type ->
    In screen select device type radio button, and mode as import
    Give location of that object and execute.
    You will have to select that object again by browsing it then give it as local object.
    Thanks,
    Nick S

  • Cannot find network printer

    I have the following problem:
    I want to use a printer (HP Officejet 5600 series) in a Windows network. My MacBook is connected to this network by AirPort to a Netgear router. Unfortunately my MacBook cannot find the printer.
    Can anybody help?

    Is the printer connected to a P, or directly to the router? Connected via USB or parallel port? If connected to the router, I assume the router has built in print server?
    My HP is connected to an Apple Extreme via USB which built in print server. In the Mac, I went to System Preferences, then Print and Fax. When I clicked on the little "+" button on the bottom left (to add a printer), Bonjour was able to find the printer off the Extreme server.
    But, I am currently having problems with it - used to work, now quit printing!

  • Trouble Printing to Network Printer via Remote Desktop Connection

    Specs:
    Macbook Pro, early 2013,
    Mavericks (10.9.2),
    Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection v.8.0.5 (latest),
    Connecting to Windows Server 2008 standard
    Printer, HP LaserJet P2035n, connected via the network
    When on the Mac connected to the server, the printers from the Mac are redirected so you're supposed to be able to print from Remote Desktop to the HP printer.  However, when you select something to print, the job goes to the print and keeps printing over and over and over again until you cancel the print job, which it usually allows you to do, or turn off the printer, which you have to do when it won't let you cancel the job.
    Any advice on how to get the printer connection running normally?

    What you haven't told us is what method you use to connect/setup the printer on Windows. There are two ways - Bonjour for Windows (free software from Apple), and TCP/IP raw port 9100. If you have a problem using one, try the other.

  • Can't find network printer

    I've got a HP Photosmart Plus installed on my network. I install it on every computer in the house (4 computers), and then it works.
    But when I close the computer and restart, the computer can't find the printer.
    It's still connected to the network, that I can see if I open my router.
    The only way is to reinstall the printer, but sometimes the computer can't find the printer to install.
    This happens on both W7 oand W8.
    Anyone knows whats wrong.

    These settings are for setting up your wireless printer to stay connected to your router, keep wireless devices better connected and makes your router secure and hack proof.
    1. Set a static IP in the printer (click here) outside the DHCP range of the router (check your manual).
       This is for Linksys routers but can be used for all routers. Verify your DHCP range and change this
       first if needed. More Wireless Printing help is here (Windows solution 4, static IP).
    2. Verify in the printer that 'Auto Off/Sleep' is disabled.  Use the Embedded Web Server (EWS) by going
       to the printers IP address in your browsers address bar, click Settings Tab/Auto Off. Or use the Printer
       Assistant, Printer Home Page (EWS). Also check your Printers Properties.
    3. If the printer supports and has IPv6 enabled, turn off IPv6 in the printer.
    4. If needed and you assigned a static IP address, try using 8.8.8.8 for the Preferred DNS server and
         8.8.4.4 at the Alternate DNS server.
    In the router: (Refer to your router manual for information)
    5. Use a fixed wireless channel like 1, 6 or 11, never 'auto', try channel 1 first then the rest. 
    6. Set router to 20Mhz only, or 145Mbps depending on router. 
    7. Always use WPA2-AES (Personal) encryption, but you can try ‘mixed’ mode. 
    8. Disable WPS and never use it and disable UPnP for the routers security. Nobody can hack your
       system now and helps with wireless connectivity (if you want to know why, search the web).
    9. If you have a dual band router (2.4Ghz and 5.0Ghz bands), make sure the SSID’s are NOT the same,
       they must be different for all bands, even for any Guest networks.
    10. SSID broadcast must be enabled.
    11. Save all settings. Power off both, wait 2 mins.  Power on router wait 2 mins. 
    12. Power on printer and verify it reconnects to router. 
    Windows 7/8/8.1   Is Network Discovery on or off?
    Control Panel/Network and Internet/Network and Sharing Center/Advanced sharing settings.
    Under Home or Work (current profile) / Network Discovery.
    Select "Turn on network discovery" and save changes

  • T61 / Finding Networked Printer to install on laptop.

    I'm trying to install a network printer on my laptop that is ethernet wired to my router.  I'm trying to install the networked printer on my laptop, but cannot get the software to see the printer on the network.  It can't seem to find it.  I spoke with HP and they didn't want to change settings on laptop, suggested IBM support.  Lenovo offers no support as it's over 1 year.  Any thoughts - ?   They think that it could be a firewall that's blocking the laptop from seeing it.  We disabled windows firewall and norton, to no avail ? HELP ......ideas are welcome.

    What operating system do yoyu have installed on your T61?
    Its not clear from your message what is "wired" to your router.  Are you connecting your laptop to your router via wired Ethernet connection, or are you connecting via a WiFi connection?
    Cheers,

  • Unable to find network printer

    Hi All,
    I have a Epson Stylus NX125 all-in-on printer/scanner/copier connected via USB to my router, an ASUS RT-N13U SuperSpeed N Wireless.  I have tried to connect to the printer via IP > LPD using the router's IP address, various Queues.  I updated my drivers for the printer, ran a software update check, etc.  Unfortunately, I have not been able to connect to the printer at all.  I have no problems connecting to the internet via wifi.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
    Mahalo!

    My name is Syd and I work for Epson America, Inc.
    The Stylus NX125 does not support any type of network printing.  The only type of connection available is USB.  In order to print to the printer you will need to be hard wired with a USB cable.  Unfortunately, your current set up is not something that is supported for this product
    Hope this helped,
    Syd

  • Network printer configuration in windows

    Hi All,
    we are on win2k3  withECC 6.0 and sqlserver 2005, i have created the new printer  thru spad and  added in the user workstation as network printer from add printer option .
    For one workstation we add by logging in the system , but for more than 50 or more workstations  is there any way to add the printer .
    Please suggest..
    Thanks,
    Subhash

    I'm not sure if I understand your question.
    The idea of an network printer is to create it centrally in e g ECC.
    There's no need to do anything at the workstation.
    I can imagine that 50 users might not share the very same network printer so there might be more network printers in the system.
    Then it's a matter of setting the correct default printer for each user.
    unless you have 50 users, all with local printers connected to their workstations.
    Then I suggest that you invest in a couple of network printers instead of using front-end printing technology.

  • Can't find network printer from Windows XP and Bonjour

    Does anyone else have a problem printing to network printers from Windows XP machines? I have Bonjour for windows installed and had been printing fine from my Windows XP machines, but lately the XP machines can't seem to find the printers. They work fine from all the Macs (Tiger 10.4.11 and Leopard 10.5.4). I'm wondering if some recent Windows XP patch broke the network printers or the way the printing system deals with ports that reference hostname.local or how hostname.local works on Window XP. I suppose it could have been a Norton Internet Security update too.
    It seems like the XP machines can no longer find printers when they use printerhostname.local for their printer port name
    Bonjour can see the printers when it initially starts up an looks for printers. Bonjour even sets up the printer port as:
    PrinterName.local using port 9101 /* for an Airport Extreme attached printer */
    The only way I can get the printers to print is to create another port with the actual IP address like:
    192.168.1.123 using port 9101
    which kind of defeats the purpose of the PrinterName.local naming convention.
    This doesn't just happen on Airport Extreme attached printers. It also happens on any printer's host name that is qualified with a .local tag.
    The weird thing is that I can ping the printer using the printer.local hostname.
    I'm stumped. Any clues?

    I am also unable to access my printer through Bonjour after updating XP to Service Pack 3.

  • Unable to find network printer HP OfficeJet Pro 8600

    HP Officejet Pro 8600
    Windows 7 64bit
    updated router firmware
    Troubleshoot all item s listed by HP and with Windows
    I have been unable to print wireless from my laptop. Wireless network test results gives me a pass in all categories. Network name is the same on printer and laptop. IP address on printer and tcp  port are the same. Tried firewall on and off. AVG antivirus on and off. Unplugged printer, router, usb, restarted laptop. Nothing has solved the problem.
    I can see that the printer has an ip address. My router has an ip address and my laptop has an ip address. Should they all be different? I am using the ip address from the printer to set up the wireless printing when asked to enter the address.
    This has been the most frustrating process I have ever delt with. It should not be this difficult to set up. Please help.
    Thank you in advance for a quick solution.

    Shurlee, I want you to do is re-run the wireless setup wizard on your printer. Then uninstall it, and reinstall it again using the software I am going to link you to below. From what you describe it sounds like either an installation issue or an issue with your network. If this helps feel free to mark my post by hitting the star below my name which gives me a kudos - kinda like a job well done on here. 
    First if you use a USB cord, make sure to remove it. Do not plug it back in until the software directs you to. Then go through the Devices and Printers, Programs and Features and Device Manager folders and insure that all copies, files, and programs related to the printer are removed. Then as directed, restart the computer. 
    In the START menu type "%temp%" and press ENTER. Here I want you to press Ctrl+A and hit DELETE. Some of the files will not allow you to delete them, skip those files and delete the majority that allows it. 
    Download these files and install them. By the way these are for the N911a, but if you have the 8600 Plus or Premium you will need different drivers.

    Install that and let me know the result!

  • Wired Network conputer cannot find host printer

    I cannot print to host printer on a home wired network.
    Printer is HP Photosmart 7520 e all in one.

    Pentium 4 1.3 GHz  2.0 GB RAM
    Windows XP SP3 host computer.
    Netgear N600 Dual Band Router
    Model WNDR3400
    Network Computer:
    Nobilis
    Pentium 4 dual core 2.8 GHz
    2.5 GB RAM
    Linux Mint 17 OS
    Both computers share the internet without any problems.  The Dell computer prints without any problems.  The Dell computer properties 'share this printer' box is checked.  I cannot find any IP address for the printer.  When I printed out the printer configuration sheet, no IP address was given.  When I go to the Control Center->Printers->local-host on the Linux OS, it says it is 'connected to local-host' and 'There are no pinters configured yet'.  I then selected 'Add' to add a printer.  A 'New Printer' screen comes up and ask to 'Select Device' and also 'Enter URI'.  This is where I am stopped in my tracks since I have no 'URI'.  Under the 'select device' side there are several options: LPT #1, Serial Port #1, Enter URI, and 'Network Printer'.  If Network Printer is selected a dropdown list appears:  The main heading is "Find Network Printer'.  Selecting 'Find Network Printer' gives various internet protocols (ipp, ipps, https, ipp14, LPD/LPR Host or Printer, Windows printer via Samba, and APP Socket/HP Direct.
    The Dell computer has alway worked fine and without problems (XP OS) on any HP printer.
    This is where I am stymied!  Can someone help me from here.

    Can you see the Windows computers when browsing from GO > Connect to server?
    Anything different in network connection - you use wireless, they use ethernet, for example?

  • Satellite L350-171 - Installing network printer

    I am having problems installing my Canon Pixma IP4300 printer as a network printer. The printer is connected to a desktop PC and then a Dynamode R-ADSL-C4-2 router. This is connected to the laptop by a cable, which was previously connected to my old laptop.
    How do I install the network printer on the Toshiba. I have gone into Ctrl Panel and then Printers. I found the install printer option and selected install network printer. It then asks me to find the printer or else print it in manually. I did try to install it from the Canon disk, but things stuck during the process. Do I need the disk atall? How do I find what to call the printer?
    Any help much appreciated.

    Dear Trenny
    Is this question posted on the right forum? Please don't be mad on me but what has Toshiba to do with network printers.
    Do you have some problems with your Satellite notebook?
    Do all ports work properly?
    Is operating system working well?
    For network printer configuration you can find enough pages here.

  • Can not add network printer

    Hi.
    I installed HP Laserjet Pro P1102 on win 7, I checked it for sharing. trying to add it on winxp on same router but is not detected. I d/led file The HP Home Network Diagnostic Utility application "HPHNDU.exe" on pc that printer is attached to, can not find network printer.
    Please help - Thanks.

    It might be possible to do this with an Airport Express. Your AE joins the network and the printer is connected to the AE. If you can get it cheap (g speed is OK).
