How do I share a HP LaserJet 5200 dtn printer that is set up on Windows 7 computer to XP Computers?

This printer is currently installed onto the Windows 7 computer. It will be shared on LAN. The other computers are all Windows XP.

Hi there,
These instructions were posted on another forum but have been very helpful to many folks.
The instructions are for the Printer attached to the XP machine connecting to Win7 pcs (but works in reverse as well).
("Stand alone" Network printers can be done slightly similarly BTW).
assume the computers are call XPMACHINE and W7MACHINE.
1) Ensure Printer on XP machine is shared - assume it's called SHAREDPRINTER.
2) On the Network Browsing on your Windows 7 machine ensure you can "See" the Printer share.
Now on the Windows 7 machine do the following (doesn't matter if it's X-86 or x-64).
3) Control Panel==> add LOCAL (Yes LOCAL) printer. I know it's on a Network but hold your horses -- what we are actually doing is "Poodlefaking" the Windows 7 machine into thinking it's running the printer.
4) Create NEW port==>Local port
5) Portname is \\XPMACHINE\SHAREDPRINTER
6) Now Windows 7 will load a driver and you'll be able to print on the XP machine.
Simple
(For a "Network stand alone printer") at 4) chose TCPIP port
and at 5) enter the IP address.
If the printer is on the Windows 7 machine and you want to print on the XP machine then do the same instructions on the XP machine --
port name in this case will be \\W7MACHINE\SHAREDPRINTER
Though I work for HP, My posts express MY opinion, and not those of HP.

  • How do you share an iMovie project to DVD now that iDVD not available

    How do you share an iMovie project to DVD now that IDVD not available on iMAC? Thanks.

    Hi
    If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
    Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
    • iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
    • DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
    • Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
    • Burn - only free alternative I know of on Internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
    Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
    only You can buy from Apple is
    • FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
    AppleMan1958
    You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and Blu-Ray but without the nice themes.

  • How do I connect an HP LaserJet 5000 GN printer to my iMac running system 10.7

    How do I connect an HP LaserJet 5000 GN printer to my iMac (system 10.7.5) ?

    Ok, I too have been having a time with hooking up the Great HP 5000 GN to my new 2013 MacPro desktop computer.
    And I have tried everthing.  Excep This, Last night I decided to treat it as a brand new printer, right out of the box.
    I turned it off, (the rocker switch) and unpluged everthing to it and left it overnight.
    This morning I plug it in.  In this order, the Ethernet Cable from the Xfinity Modem / Router.  Then the Power Cord,
    Then turned it on ( the rocker switch).  And let it go through the initaliting process.
    Then at the printer panel on the printer, I printed out a fresh Configuration.  I noticed right away the IP Address was different than the one I had been trying to use.
    Then I went into the System Preferences / Printers & Scanners.  Held down the Control Key with with the curser in the
    big area where the Printers/Scanners are listed and clicked on it to reset the items inside that area. To clean everthing out.
    Then  clicked the IP ikon and put the NEW IP Number in the address space.
    BINGO !!!  Spacs started to fill up!  And I hit the Add Button.
    I opened Illustrator and pulled up a file and went through the paces to print.  BINGO ! The printer went into action before
    I took my finger off the button!
    This is the first time I have ever posted anything. But I just had to tell y'all who have had the same trouble as I have.
    So now,  you can have Happy Holidays with your MacPro OS X 10.10.1 and the HP 5000 series

  • I have an HP Laserjet 5m monochrome printer that I have used for years with our three Mac computers

    HP Laserjet 5m monochrome printer C3917A (1997)
    Operating system: OSX 10.7.4
    Error message: Printer busy
    No known changes made to system or configuration
    I have an HP Laserjet 5m monochrome printer that I have used for years with our three Mac computers (two on OS X Lion and one on  Leopard). I'm using ethernet to connect to a router and then my computer (although I have also tried to connect directly to no avail.) We went away for 2 weeks, returned and got “Printer busy” for all 3 computers. I reset the printer to factory settings. Same problem. By the way, the printer says READY. I then went to System prefs and clicked ‘–‘ in the Print & Scan section to remove the printer. When I tried to add back the printer, nothing shows up. I now remember that this may be because the means of communicating with the printer has now changed and that I had found the printer by somehow adding its address settings (or something). Can anyone help me to reconnect with the printer? 
    This question was solved.

    Reset the printing system:
    - Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan
    - Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
    WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
    - Select the plus sign to re-add a printer. Select the Defualt tab on the top of the window. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.

  • How do i unzip and run the newly downloaded Adobe Encore trial version on a windows computer?

    how do i unzip and run the newly downloaded Adobe Encore trial version on a windows computer?

    First, there is no such thing as an Encore trial, due to licensing of 3rd party program modules
    Second, Encore is installed as a bundle with Premiere Pro CS6
    Third, the CS5-thru-CC PPro/Encore tutorial list http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1448923 will help
    The bottom section of the link above has several Adobe links, and other information, on downloading Premiere Pro CS6 and the bundled Encore CS6, and the TWO ADDED downloads for the Encore library content, to author a DVD or BluRay... and the tutorial list includes learning how to use Encore... pay particular attention to the picture in reply 3 at this link - https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1516173 (picture first posted by Ann Bens and reposted by Stan Jones)

  • How can I share my a public calendar from iCal (through iCloud) with Outlook for Windows users?

    I have a public work calendar that I wish to share with colleagues in the office. No issues for those having a Mac or an iPhone, but how can I share the calendar with Outlook for Windows users?
    Thanks for the help!

    Hello ramirofromstrockholm,
    The steps detailed below explain how to go about publicly share a calendar (which doesn't require that one be an iCloud user to accept).
    Click the Share button to the right of the calendar you want to share, then select Public Calendar.
    Note:   You can also share the same calendar privately. For instructions, see the previous task, “Share a calendar privately.”
    To invite people to view the calendar, click Email Link.
    Type one or more email addresses in the To field, then click Send.
    The people you specify automatically receive an invitation email that includes the calendar’s URL. An invitee doesn’t need to be an iCloud user to accept an invitation to view a shared public calendar.
    In the sidebar, a shared calendar has a dark Share button.
    You can also resend invitations to one or more invited participants at any time.

  • How do you set up VPN on Mac from information that's only from a Windows computer?

    My workplace only supports setting up VPN on my Windows computer, but not my Mac, and I would love to access VPN from my Mac as well.
    I am running Mountain Lion on my Mac and Windows 7 on my PC.

    You will need to know what type of VPN they use, L2TP/IPsec and PPTP or a proprietary one.
    With that information there are lots of guides on how to set up the L2TP and PPTP on the web, usually they are for a commercial VPN supplier but you would need to put your companies info into the correct boxes in System Preferences/Network.
    If it is proprietary, go to the makers web site and see if here is a suitable client to download and use, again enter your companies info into that software.
    There is also Open VPN client that may work.
    One thing to be aware of is that some companies forbid any connection to their system unless using approved software.

  • How do I share a playlist from my itunes library with another user on the same computer?

    I would like to share a playlist with another uuser on the same computer.  We have separate itunes libraries on the same computer. How do gey my playlist from my library to hers?

    I'm not sure, but maybe if you activate home sharing. It should also share playlists, not only files.
    The only other way I can think of is to export the playlist and import for the other user.

    In windows I coulf right click a folder and share via other coms in home network. How to I do this on mac.
    Many thanks

    Open System Preferences (lit's ike Control Panel in Windows)-> Shraring pane, put a checkmark in 'File Sharing' and then in the right of the sharing pane click on + button and then add any folder you want.
    System Preferences is where you find a lot of settings that affect the whole OS X system, just like the windows Control Panel.
    Lastly read the blog posts Lion File Sharing With Win 7 - Overview & Share Windows 7 Files with OS X Lion .

  • How can I share a playlist with another iOS device that they can play when they're offline?

    I have created a playlist in iTunes for someone in my family and have authorised him for home sharing. He can listen to the playlist when on our wifi at home, but how can he listen to it on his iPhone when he is away from home?

    What you are asking isn't possible as devices must be logged in to the same wifi and with the same Apple ID for Home Sharing to work.
