How to configure network printer with Linksys WRT54GL router network

I just bought a Linksys WRT54GL router and I am planning to build the following home-network around it:
1. A desktop computer connected to router via ethernet cable (hard-wired).
2. An HP Network Printer (Color LaserJet CM1312 MFP) connected to router via ethernet cable (hard-wired).
3. A notebook connected to router via Wi-Fi.
I want both computers (desktop and notebook) to be able to share files, and also to share the same network printer.
a. How do I do this?
b. Do I need to install the printer drivers in both computers as if the printer was local for each one?
c. What settings do I need to include in the Linksys router settings (and also the printer settings) to allow all this? I've read on the internet about DHCP configs, IP address, etc. but I hardly understand anything.
A step-by-step ("for dummies") explanation will be extremely appreciated.

You will need to install the printer driver on each computer that will be using the printer. You will need to have a printer driver that is designed to be used on a network. Many of HP's drivers (but not all of them) can be used for either a USB or a network connection.
Usually, when you use HP's printer installation software, it will walk you through the printer installation procedure, and install the printer drivers. This software is normally located on a CD that came with the printer. Some installation software demands that you setup a USB connection first, then switch to a network connection. Other installation software might install a network connection directly. Just follow the HP directions.
There are no special settings in the router. Simply wire (using an ethernet cable) your printer to a LAN port on the router, when the installation software (or instructions) tells you to do so.
Your printer will likely get a different LAN IP address (192.168.1.x ) from time to time. Some printer drivers can handle this and still work properly. Other printer drivers get confused, and cannot find your printer when it changes addresses. If your driver has this problem, then you will need to assign your printer a fixed LAN IP address. This will force the printer to have the same LAN IP address each time you boot up your network. If you need to do this, you will need to enter the LAN IP address directly into your printer (Sometimes this is done using the printer's buttons and display panel, and sometimes this is done using HP printer software). Note that any fixed LAN IP address must be outside your DHCP server range (defaults are 192.168.1.100 thru 192.168.1.149 ) , and it cannot end in 0, 1, or 255. If you need to use a fixed LAN IP address, I would suggest you use 192.168.1.13 , which should be easy to remember by looking at the model number of your printer. If you need to use a fixed LAN IP address, you will also need to enter the Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway 192.168.1.1 , and DNS Server 192.168.1.1 , into your printer. If you use a fixed LAN IP address in the printer, you do not need to change any settings in the router. The router will automatically find your printer when you turn your printer on. Even if your printer is using a fixed LAN IP address, your computers can continue to get their address automatically from the router's DHCP server.

How to make AE work with Linksys E1500 Router

I use Mac OS X 10.7.5
I want to use my AirPort Express (Serial # C86L11G8DV2R) as an extender to extend my WiFi network at home, but doesn't work because to set up either my Linksys E1500 Router or AirPort Express (?)
Can someone explain how I can set up my Linksys E1500 Router to make it compatible with AirPort Express?
Thanks a lot!

You can use an Express to "wirelessly extend" a wireless network created by another Apple AirPort Base Station, but not a third party product.
You can use the Express as an additional wireless access point. To do that, connect it to your existing router with an Ethernet cable.

How to setup a printer with Airport Extreme + Express Network

Ok so here's how things are setup. I have an Extreme connected to my cable modem creating the wireless network. I have a PC that doesn't have a wireless card, so I setup an Express next to it. The Express takes in the wireless signal, and the PC is connected to the Express through ethernet and has a successful connection. Next I want to connect my printer to the USB port of the Express and share it over the network. It doesn't work plug and play. From the Airport utility, the express recognizes the printer, however, the computers on the network do not see it. Can this be set up to work? If so, what am I missing?
Thanks

I am trying to connect a Windows 7 / 64 bit to an Epson printer on my Mac. The printer is hooked into the Mac via USB; the Mac is networked to a Linksys wireless router with an ethernet cable, as is the Windows box. Any tips on how to do this?

I am trying to connect a Windows 7 / 64 bit to an Epson printer on my Mac. The printer is hooked into the Mac via USB; the Mac is networked to a Linksys wireless router with an ethernet cable, as is the Windows box. I installed the current Bonjour printer services software on the Windows machine, and separately installed the driver software for the Epson printer on the WIndows machine. Running the bonjour wizard, I get an alert saying 'I don't have sufficient access to my computer to connect to the selected printer'.
The printer has 'sharing' turned on from the Mac end; this works with a Powerbook via the wireless connection. Sharing is also turned on in the Windows printer control panel for this printer (under properties). The Mac is a G5 running 10.5.8. When I try to print a page from the Windows machine it gets hung in the print queue.
Any advice how to proceed would be appreciated!
thx,

Can anyone tell me how to install a network printer driver without having the network printer online?

Can anyone tell me how to install a network printer driver without having the network printer online? It doesn't matter what manufactors make the network printers. Is a netwaork printer(with network card) has to have that printer on line to be able to install
the driver? This is the point of my question!
I've ask a same type of question previously, but I can't either get good answer nor reply on the response.

DP
The computer (and driver) have to handshake with the printer, QED it has to be either online or physically connected and if it is physically connected it wont work on the network so yes it does.

How to configure automatic printing of picklist for an OBD?

Hi Experts,
Can you pleae let me know how to configure automatic printing of picklist for an OBD?
Thanks,
Shetty

1. To see whether picking list (EK00) is generated:
VL02n open the delivery -> menu bar -> extrax -> picking output .
Is EK00 there? If not, it means that EK00 is not generated for this delivery.
If EK00 is green -> it means that it has been printed.
If it's yellow -> it means that it hasn't been printed yet. Now you have to goto VL70 to print it.
2. To generate a picking output for one delivery, you have to do:
[1] In customizing of shipping point, (img -> enterprise structure -> defination -> logistics execution ->shipping point), you have to set picking output (TVST-KSCHL).
[2] Item is relevant for picking, and plant/storage location is not assigned to a warehouse.
[3] Set default print parameter in customizing. (IMG -> Logistics Execution -> Shipping -> basic function -> output control ->define print parameter -> V4 -> for you picking output type -> assign default print parameter to shipping point ).

Qosmio F60-L10 - How to configure tv tuner with integrated antenna?

good evening,
i have a notebook toshiba qosmio f60 ,i had read your answer about tv tuner.
my question is : how to configure tv tuner with integrated antenna? thanks

Hi 3171954,
I think Paolo30 is right. Qosmio F60 is equipped with internal DVB-T but in some cases you need an external antenna to pick up the low signal. In most cases only in large citys you dont need an external antenna. If you live on the fringe of the city, normally a cable is needed.
Anyway, do you mean an external antenna or external DVB-T receiver (USB stick)?
Normally Windows media center should recognize the internal DVB-T tuner. Is it listed in device manager? Did you update the driver?

How to configure portal server with the Backend Oracle database

Hi Portal Experts,
we are planning to install Netweaver 04s sp stack 9 full java edition with Oracle 8i on windows platform.
we have the installation docs of portal but we didn't have any idea about how to configure Portal server with the Backend Oracle database at the time of installation or after ost installation of portal.can anyone provide the documentation about this or guide me how to achieve this.
PLZ share ur views---your help would be highly appreciable.
Regds
Phani.

HI
if you r working in Sap enterprise portal use for connection url
jdbc:sap:sqlserver://ilsql01.tlv.sap.corp:1433;DatabaseName=Northwind
ilsql01.tlv.sap.corp:1433 this is your portal url with port number
Northwind is your database name.
for dirver you need to give
com.sap.portals.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
in case if you r working on other than sap say windows along with oracle try to use
Connection URL as jdbc:oracle:<drivertype>:@<database>
Driver name as oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
ex jdbc:oracle:thick:@localhost:3036:mydb
Oracle implements two types of JDBC drivers:
Thick JDBC drivers built on top of the C-based Net8 client, as well as a Thin (Pure Java) JDBC driver to support downloadable applets. Oracle JDBC drivers are used to create JDBC applications to communicate with Oracle databases.
Oracle extensions to JDBC include the following features:
Data access and manipulation
LOB access and manipulation
Oracle object type mapping
Object reference access and manipulation
Array access and manipulation
Application performance enhancement

How to configure IIS webserver with weblogic so that I can invoke servlets without the .wlforward extension

How to configure IIS webserver with weblogic so that I can
invoke servlets without the .wlforward extension
As per the documentation iisforward.dll is registered as a filter and .wlforward
has also been
included as a special file type. However this requires me to key-in ".wlforward"
after my servlet name.
What I want is something like this
http://iis/MyServlet
Please help me find a solution to this
Thanks,

I am able to invoke the servlet without the wlforward extension now.
However, now I am required to add /weblogic before the servlet
name otherwise it does not execute the pathtrim property.
I have tried with the pathprepend thing also.
Can we get rid of the /weblogic part also. I just want to execute
my servlet as http://iis/myServlet.
Your help in this regard is greatly appreciated...
Thanks..

Thanks for the reply Kumar.
I did follow the instructions as given in the Weblogic documentation
The documentation said to add iisforward.dll as a filter service
and register .wlforward as a special
file type to be handled by iisproxy.dll. For this,
while configuring the IIS server in the Home Directory tab
I added an extension ".wlforward" and the executable as
iisproxy.dll. Is this the way it should have been done...
I also modified the iisproxy.ini file as per the documentation.
I have added the WLForwardPath property and set it to /weblogic.
My server works fine when I give the url as
http://iis/myServlet.wlforward
but it does not work for
http://iis/myServlet and this is the way i'd want it to work.
Please tell me if I am missing something on the configuration part
and if there is something special that needs to be done. I shall
be grateful to you.

Envy5532 - both PC and printer connect to WiFi router/network, but can't print from PC : (

I have a new Envy 5532 and I want to print from my Windows 7 Pro PC via my wireless network/internet router.
The PC is connected wirelessly to the internet through the router. The printer connects to the router/network without any problem. The printer also connects DIRECTLY to the PC wirelessly, and I can print from the PC if I disconnect from the router/WiFi network.
So the router comes up as a network on the PC, and the printer comes up as a different network. But I can only print through the direct connection, which means I can only print, not scan. Also, it means I have to disconnect from the internet in order to print.
I have run all diagnostics, installed the drivers, etc. but it seems to be a dead end.
Any advise? Many thanks.

Hi @DrivenDementet,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I see that you cannot print from your PC to your HP Envy 5532. I am happy to help you with your printing!
Please see the following guides:
'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the Printer Does Not Print: Windows 7. (This guide will help you get online and printing).
Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection. (This guide will help you maintain the connection).
On top of the guides, I would also recommend this website, HP Wireless Printing Center, as there is some good information on wireless printing.
it is also very important with wireless printing that the PC and the Printer are on the same wireless network, otherwise they will not be able to talk to each other.
Hope this information clears things up for you, and have a great day!

Opening ports on Linksys WRT54GL router

I have a Linksys WRT54GL router hooked up to a Power Mac G4 running the latest version Tiger. I need to configure the router so that I can permit iChat to function properly. Which ports do I need to open to make this happen?

Hio Roland,
This device should have UPnP in the Administration page
It should look like this http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/iChatPicsFolder/8ModemRouter/Linksys%20Router/slides/5_RouterModem-UPnP.html
The IP 192.168.1.1 used in a web browser (no http or www) will get you the pop up.
The User ID and Paasword are both admin by default.
That should get you to the Basic Set Up page
Choose Administration and set UPnP and Save settings.
DO not have anything in Port Forwarding or Port Triggering.
In the Security page Disable Blocking Anonymous Pings
