Hp 932c Printer

Hi there everybody, thanks for every answer that has been provided till now, I do have one more question, how can I be able to work with a HP 932C printer which I attached to my Win XP system, what I want to do is use this printer as a network printer for Solaris which is in the same workgroup as the Win XP box, any suggestions or views. Thanks in advance to anyone who answers.

There used to be a software called "UNIX Print Services for Windows" (or something similar) that would allow one to share a printer with UNIX systems from a Windows NT system. You'd prbly want to check with M$ for that.
Alternately, get samba, install the printer on your Sun machine and share the printer to your workgroup via samba. That way, the printer will be local to the Sun box but a network share to Windows. I think that'll work much better than the way you want it to (imho).

  • HP 932C PRINTER DOES NOT WORK OVER A NETWORK WITH TWO DIFFERENT OPERATIONAL SYSTEMS.

    I have a 932c HP printer connected via USB to a Windows XP desktop computer (Dell E520), which is part of a home network.
    I also have an HP Pavilion dv5 notebook, running Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit, connected to the same network. This notebook can find the printer over the network. However, when I try to capture the 932c printer, the following dialog box appears:
    "The server for the `hp deskjet 930c series` printer does not have the correct printer driver installed. If you want to search for the proper driver, click OK. Otherwise, click Cancel and contact your network administrator or original equipmente manufacturer for the correct printer driver."
    When I click OK, another dialog box appears:
    "The file `*.INF`on (Unknown) is needed. Type the path where the file is located, and then click OK."
    However, I can't find any workable *.inf file in the HP notebook Hard drive (both partitions).
    I have already tried to download the driver from the HP website, but it says that Windows Vista already has the driver for such printer! Well, now I'm stucked!
    I'd like to point out that the printer works fine if I plug it directly to the HP notebook's USB port. But I want to operate the printer via the home network, keeping it hooked to the Windows XP desktop computer.
    How to solve this problem? Thanks.

    This is the HP notebook forums. I would recommend posting this in the printer forums for better coverage.

  • Any way to get toolbox for 932C printer in XP

    Had HP Deskjet 710C fail on me.  So I installed 932C printer using printer driver from Windows XP.  However, there is no toolbox or any of the software to aid in the management of the printer.  I have the disk but it was for Windows 98 and I don't think it will work with XP.  If I uninstall the printer and reinstall using download from hp website, will I get the HP Toolbox.  There is 2 options under driver downloads but they are both the same size???  How do I know it has the necessary software?  Help will be appreciated.
    Kudos! Thanks!

    30 days is too long for a refund. As it was mentioned earlier, it would be the death of
    small devs who are doing it proper and will be run down by something subjective.
    One middle ground solution is to wait for reviews and word of mouth (friends or news gaming sites etc.)
    before you buy any games. Marketers aren't the most honest group so stop listening/reading into them
    already. Too many idiots with short-term money keep falling for things marketers come up with and end
    up complaining everywhere. Do your own research and stop being lazy.
    -Stop pre-ordering (Producers and publishers aren't testing their products enough, and have shifted their focus on pleasing their board members too much. These board members don't know the ins-and-outs of game development so they should also be called out in comments and conversations too.)
    -More developers should go back to creating demos for games, and the Gaming platforms (Sony, Microsoft, Steam) could accomodate developers in terms of costs for demos.
    Patience is a virtue and it would be nice if game development (and all the groups involved) went back to the good
    old days of properly tested games before being released.

  • 932c prints blank pages

    I have an old but always reliable, until today, 932c deskjet, tied to a dell e521 Vista (home basic) computer.  The printer worked fine yesterday, and now prints blank pages. (Correction -- nearly blank, there are very faint horizontal irregular dashed lines in the "draft" quality setting. If I set the print quality on best, it does appear to print the document to a very slight degree, but still unreadable.) The cartridge indicator is on the far right (the OK position, and there are no blinking lights.  In that it was printing very clearly yesterday, I am sure there is ink in the cartridge. 
    Any ideas?  (One last note:  given that two new cartridges will be approach the cost of a newer and faster machine, that is one solution that I have considered trying and have ruled out.)
    Thanks

    Try printing a diagnostic page as shown here.  If this page is blank then gently blot the printheads on a damp tissue.  The black cartridge should have a dark black blot and the color should show dark stripes of cyan, magenta and yellow.  If the cartridges do blot properly but do not print the printer electronics may have failed.  If the cartridges do not blot properly then I would suggest returning the cartridges to the printer and running three cleaning cycles from the toolbox.  If this does not clear the problem then try soaking the printhead in 1" of very hot water for a few minutes, then blot on a tissue and try a test page.

  • Hp 932c printer sends a blank page after printing. Win7. suddenly started doing this.

    This suddenly started a couple of days ago.

    Hi there lonelyshepard,
    Just to make sure this is not software related lets try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
    It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
    Best of Luck!

  • Does the 932C HP printer with 2 sided printing accessory work with window 7 and office word 2010?

    (model#C6463A-double side, printing accessory), for the HP 923C printer?  Is it real slow printing?  Does it flip by itself or do I have to flip it? Also will the printer with the accessory work with windows 7 and office word 2010 to type 4 pages per sheet, like a book? Thanks and please help me!

    If the printer was installed previously then you would not detect new hardware when plugging the printer in.  Go to Start, Control Panel, Printers and check for an existing Deskjet 900 series printer.  If this printer exists in the list double click on it and check to see if the printer is shown as offline or paused.  If so correct the issue by clicking the appropriate line.
    If the printer does not show as installed then install it as shown here. If this does not correct the issue then unplug the USB cable, then go to the device manager and delete the ports associates with the USB printer and allow the system to rediscover the USB devices.

  • IMac to print to "shared" printer on Windows XP Home

    I have just returned to the Mac world. My first MAC was one of the first MACs ever made (1984) - it's in the basement and it still works.
    I have a new iMac G5. I was able to transfer all the files I wanted from my laptop (Windows XP Home) to my iMac without any problems.
    What I can not do is get the iMac to access the HP DeskJet 932c printer that is connected to my DELL (Windows XP Home). The printer is "shared". My laptop has no problems connecting to the printer.
    When I follow the instructions with the iMac, the iMac finds the DELL computer, I'm able to access (login) to the DELL computer but no printers are listed.
    I suspect it is because it is not really a Windows "workgroup" as the Apple documentation talks about, but a "shared" printer within Windows XP Home.
    I'm sure that there is a solution, after all, this is a MAC!

    Depends on what Mac software you have?
    Currently nothing other than that which ships with the Mac - I have had it for less than a week.
    Also the G5 iMac is pretty well proven technology,
    these are first revision Intel Macs.
    Good point and this is the one potential drawback to the switch.
    Personally I would go for the Intel Mac, as Steve
    Jobs said, it is the same as thew G5 iMac, jsut twice
    as fast!
    I'm going to do this and that's why I'm going to mark my question as answered. Hopefully the next Mac will work with my XP printer!
    Thanks again for all your help.
    Your website for help about the printer is excellent. It is rare to find something as well explained and perfectly documented. I give it a 4+ (I'm a teacher and in our education system we "level" student work - level 4 is the highest level!)

  • CS5 Print preview window heavly inconsistant with left margin

    I can adjust my images to look fine in the print window display with the paper size I select. However the printed image does not accurately track what is shown in the preview.
    It does not matter if I print borderless or with border.
    I suppose it is a minor quibble in that moving the preview image left margin to the right (positive values) by small amounts the print out actually moves it to the left by that small amount. At first I thought this might be random paper alignment errors but the behavior is too consistent. But as I continued my tests I could not significantly/consistently shift the image to the right until a movement finally happened between 1/2 and 6/10ths of an inch. Only then did I get the actual 6/10th white border on the left side of the printout.
    What the heck am I doing wong? Is this a bug? The old print preview was so much better as it gave a WYSIWYG output. Now it seems to be a crap shoot whether your border adjustments match your desired shift.
    This is too blatant of an error to be a bug, so what am I overlooking? There seems to be some kind of rasterization of the movement going on I don't know about.

    That's a bit surprising, in that I've found HP in general to support their released hardware better than most when a new OS is released.
    But it's not unheard of.  Manufacturers don't benefit measurably by supporting old hardware, though it's a no-brainer that doing so builds brand loyalty.  In fact, I'm sure there are marketeers in these companies that actually believe forcing you to buy a new device is a Good Thing.  The printer is not supposed to be a consumable!
    Scanners are more often devices that fall into this trap.  Over time I've thrown away two perfectly working scanners (one Canon and one Mustek) because they weren't supported by their manufacturer upon release of a new version of Windows.  On the other hand, my little, cheap HP 932c printer is still perfectly supported in Windows 7, even though I bought it back in the days of XP.  Perhaps it has something to do with numbers of units sold.
    Anyway, best of luck getting things worked out.  I'm very sorry to hear that HP may be going the way of the other manufacturers.

  • Windows 98 problem printing Images?

    I am able to print an Image from file at work on NT. However, when I develop at home on Windows 98 the printer job just spools and never prints.
    I have a HP Deskjet 932C printer at home. Any chance HP software is overriding ability to print from DOS java application? I shut down several background tasks, Nortan AV(as I've heard this slows down resources).
    I really don't know what else to try. Any help would be awesome.
    (what's weird is it will print everything else (drawString(), drawRect(), on 98 but not drawImage()?
    thanks ahead of time,

    Was a HP Deskjet driver problem.
    Figured it out.

  • Printer won't print in black and white

  • Printer compatible with Windows 98

    I have a computerized embroidery business operating on Windows 98 and cannot upgrade operating systems with my embroidery program, unless I start my entire business over again; not willing to invest the time and money to do so; love it the way that it is, but my printer has issues.  I get an error message that says "The print cartridge cradle cannot move."  I cannot see anything that would obstruct the movement.   If I fool with it long enough, I can get it to print one page and then the same message appears.  Suggestions or ideas for what I can do?    If the problem cannot be rectified, is there a printer that I can get that will work with the Windows 98 system I have?

    Hey @EISUE,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand that you are getting the message 'print cartridge cradle cannot move' when printing from your Windows 98 computer to your HP Deskjet 932c Printer. I would like to assist you today with resolving this issue. Now I see that you have already checked inside the printer for any obstructions that could be causing this error, to no avail. At this point I am going to run you through some additional carriage troubleshooting steps.
    To start, can I please have you click here. Once the website opens, please follow Solution two, Solution three, Solution four, Solution five, and Solution six. This includes any sub-steps under the listed Solutions.
    The error that you're encountering is a hardware issue. It is not related to your Windows 98 Operating System. Therefore, the troubleshooting steps that I am having you complete are all hardware based.
    Because Windows 98 is an obsolete Operating System, should this Deskjet be defective there are no printers that are supported on Windows 98. The earliest Operating System that currently has print drivers is Windows XP.
    Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. Good luck!

  • Filter Failed Message after HP software update

    My old HP deskjet 932C printer now gets a "filter failed" message since the HP software update. I can't print documents. Any suggestions?

    Go to System Preferences, Printers and Scanners.  Select your printer that's not working and delete it (hit minus sign).  Restart your computer.  Go back to Printers and Scanners and add printer.  I had same problem this morning with HP 932C and this solved the problem for me.

  • Several Questions Regarding the Imac

    Hello everyone.
    I'm on the fence about purchasing a new Imac. I'm interested in a 24" model, potentially with the 2.4 Ghz processor.
    I'm a lifelong Windows user, and like many Windows users, I have some reservations from making the switch over to an Imac. Led by the fact that I'd need to purchase Microsoft Office for Mac ($150) and a screenwriting software ($100) that already runs smoothly on my current XP based Dell tower (it would be an additional computer to authorize the software on, because they limit the number of times you can add it to individual computers. bastards).
    However, after using the 24" Imac at an Apple store, I'm intrigued by the idea of getting one, led by my desires to begin shooting short films/editing them with my Imac.
    I have questions. A whole bunch. But your answers would be greatly, greatly, greatly appreciated. Here goes......
    1. I have an ancient HP Inkjet 932c printer. I believe it's 6 years old. Will I be able to use this printer with my Imac?
    2. How well will Final Cut Pro run on my desired Imac if I upgrade it to 4 GB of RAM? Is it better to upgrade the memory vs. purchasing the 2.8 Ghz Imac?
    3. Is purchasing 4 GB of RAM from Crucial the best way to get the most out of my new computer/using Final Cut? (Certainly much cheaper than doing it via Apple).
    4. Perhaps I'm making myself paranoid by reading through all the forum sections regarding the Imac, but I'm reading a lot of posts regarding internet speed issues using a router. I have a Linksys WRT54GS router. I was planning on using it via an ethernet cable to the Imac. Can anyone confirm or deny that this would be an easy transition?
    5. This is a BIGGIE for me: the glare found on these new screens. My Imac would be located in a room that contains several windows from different sides (shades pulled up during the day). I don't want to have to draw my shades during the day in order to avoid the glare. Do you reckon this will be a major issue in this room?
    6. What is Apple's return policy? If I hold off upgrading the RAM manually, but decide the Imac is not for me (glare issues, internet connection, other reason), can I easily return it? Is there a set amount of time I have to do so?
    7. Someone complained on this forum about this version of the Imac I'm describing as having a "super slow dvd unit". I'm looking to do a lot of video editing and DVD burning. Does the Imac have a relatively slow DVD player/burner/component?
    I know I have a lot of questions, but this is a huge investment for me financially, and I also want to make sure my next home computer purchase is something that can last me a long time (8 - 10 years).
    Your answers are GREATLY appreciated in advance. Thanks!

    Hello, 
    Remember a Mac is a PC so you can get install Windows XP or Vista and continue to make use of your software investments on the Windows side to ease your migration. Personally I do use Microsoft Office (v.X) but there are alternatives out there. Apple's iWork is Office compatible and although very different may do all that you require. Also look at open-source (free) alternatives like NeoOffice (link).
    Just to confirm George's excellent answers:
    1. Mac HP 932 Driver (link).
    2. I've never used FCP but I used to edit video on my iMac G3 400MHz with 256MB RAM back in 1999 so I can't see you'd have any issues on a modern iMac. I do have the 2.8GHz and it breezes through all the video tasks I throw at it. I expect the 2.4GHz would be similar.
    3. Crucial, or OWC or any other reliable Mac-RAM supplier (link).
    4. You should be able to pull the Ethernet from the PC and connect the iMac (or connect both at once).
    5. Difficult to answer. The screens are very shiny. My iMac faces away from the window so I don't notice it. Not sure I'd want a window behind.
    6. Apple's normal policy is a 10% restocking fee if you return the iMac through your choice. I agree with George that you should buy the minimum RAM from Apple. If you did get the 2.8GHz this would mean customizing the iMac which apparently makes returns impossible. Returns Policy.
    7. Most iMac models (including the current batch) use laptop optical drives rather than the fuill size desktop optical drives. This means that the burn speeds are lower. The maximum speed is 8x DVD burn versus the 20x or 18x you'd expect from a desktop drive today. If you do a lot of burning external (desktop size) drives can be had very cheaply.
    The iMac G3 I mentioned above is still going strong after 8 years (it's had RAM and hard disk replacements but only through my choice) although I did have to replace the PRAM battery (£6) to keep it working.
    cheers
