Install 2 x64 printers on network

I have a 5740e printer connected to my network and working perfectly. I want to connect a second identical printer and before I buy one am a little concerned I may run into conflict issues.
My plan is to change the Name of the second printer from the front panel (before I connect it to the network) then connect and presumably the printer will sit on the network with its new name and assigned ip address. Do I then add it to each PC via windows or as a new printer vis HP Printer assist. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi @NeilGM
From your description, it sounds to me like you are going to change the printers Host name. This is a good idea to avoid confusion between one printer and the other. Once the printer is on the network, you can add it through the HP Printer Assistant. This will help ensure the software on the computer knows to communicate with this printer.

Can't install / find printers.

Can’t install / find printers.
Mac newbie here. At home, my printer is on a network and my iMac finds it. Now i have a new iMac at work and I can’t find / install any printers from the network.
in the printer utility no default printers are listed.
I select More Printers, change my workgroup to my company group, and a list of users appear.
I select a user that has a printer i want access to and select the printer to which is listed to that user. I send a print job and nothing happens.
My old PC has a laserJet attached and I can’t even see that. They are shared as other users are able to use all the printers.
I would think this is due to either Windows environment, or the fact i’m network printing; however it works fine at home.
Any thoughts? They are all HP printers of various styles.
Thanks!!!

Intel iMac Mac OS X (10.4.6) HP Printers shared on a network

I still can't see the printer on my old PC and printing to any other printer still generates no output, and the pending job of "Remote Downlevel Document" is in the queue.
I have a G5 iMac at home and have no problem finding a printer, over the network, to the PC. Although that is a Brother printer/fax/copier and I don't have any other brand printer to try in the office.
Is this an HP issue?
Very appreciative of your continued help.

Duplicate Printers on Network

Does anyone know how to find source of duplicate printers on network? First I thought it was because of Mac OS X server and Windows 2003 server on same subnet, both sharing. Turned off Print services for Mac on Win2k3; still had duplicate printers. Then thought maybe someone else was sharing network printers -- looked at my own machine and realized that I was sharing printers and was unable to uncheck the box. Now I have fixed that issue and we still have duplicate printers.....still wonder if someone else has printers shared.
If users choose either "printer" or "printer1" one of them will show the correct printer model and it will print; the other choice doesn't work. The only problem comes when students, who have no admin privileges, try to print -- they can not add new printer.

Hello Roy,
With regards to the shared printers, where are you seeing them? Is it in the Printer Browser > Default Browser or is it via the Print dialog of an application? And does it say Shared Printer or the printers name? The reason I ask is that if you have a printer that supports Bonjour or AppleTalk, it will make itself visible on the network, but not with the name of Shared Printer.
Personally I haven't seen shared Windows printers displaying in the Printer Browser > Default Browser or Print Dialog > Shared Printers of an application (probably because Bonjour for Windows hasn't been installed) so I would say that if it is not the printer advertising itself then it would be one of the Mac's on the network. Finding which one could require a long process of elimination.
For the record, no admin privileges are needed on the local Mac to print to the shared printer. You need them if you want to install the printer 'locally' that connects to a network share. But the student will be able to print to the shared printer (especially if it is provided by Mac Server) without installing it locally.
Regards,
Paul

Printer policy keeps trying to install the printers on every policy refresh

I have a number of machines(Win7x64 11.3.2) that have a printer policy
assigned to them that installs a few SMB printers but no drivers. I can
install the printers manually no problem. When the policy runs I get the
windows progress box for each printer every refresh. Also if the printers
have been manually installed the same progress box still comes up every
refresh. What is real bad is if the machine is not connected to our network
the policy runs and pops up error boxes that is can't install the printers
and if you cancel it it comes back shortly later.
I have other machines assigned to the same policy and don't have this
problem and no errors in the message log. I have deleted and recreated the
policy with no change. I think it started showing up after one of the ZCM
updates but no sure when. It seems more prevalent on machines that have
been around for a while and have gone through more updates
I see the following errors in ZCC in the message log for the affected
devices.
The action printer policy (IDrinter policy) failed due to the reason :
partiallyFailedToEnforcePolicy, however the action is set to continue on
failure.
Additional Information: None
Failed to add smb printer \\<my server>\<printer to install>.
Additional Information: The RPC server is unavailable.

Debug Logs should have the exact string.
I wonder if its a rights issue to those printers.
Are some devices in a domain and others not or perhaps in different device folders resulting in different rights to those SMB printers?
I reference device rights because these printers may be installing using device rights via the policy instead of user rights.
This would be why it works when done manually.
Also when done manually, verify the exact parameters you are using vs what is in the logs.

How can I print emails? Printing Error message that no printers are installed. (Printers are installed.)

When I click File > Print, I get a Printing Error message that no printers are installed. Printers are installed. When I click Yes to install a new printer, I receive a new error message that "Windows can't open Add Printer / The local print spooler service is not running. Please restart the spooler or restart the machine." I updated to the new version of Thunderbird 24.6.0. Using Windows 8. I restarted the machine. I confirmed printers are installed using Control Panel. I do not see any way to restart a print spooler. How can I fix this? Thanks.

The print spooler is a windows service and is required to print. I would hazard a guess you can not print with any application.
What I am saying is I think your windows instalation has a problem, not Thunderbird.

I have a macbook pro 13" early 2011 version and what to install windows 7 on it via bootcamp but not sure that whether to install x64 or x86 version? which one will work better

There is no need for anyone to use 32-bit version anymore.
Retail comes with both. Or you can save on just buying 64-bit System Builder disc.
Better support for today's hardware with larger video graphic memory and systems.
Better memory management.

Can I install itunes on a network drive?

Can I install itunes on a network drive? How?

Your virtual drive still needs a physical drive to live on. You can move your iTunes library to any drive big enough to hold it, e.g. an additional internal drive, an external drive, a network share, it's up to you. What you can't do is put a quart into a pint pot.

In Order to Configure TCP/IP, You Must Install and Enable a Network Adapter Card

I get this message when I try to TCP/IP settings in any network card.
"In Order to Configure TCP/IP, You Must Install and Enable a Network Adapter Card"
What I have tried:
1. Removed card, did not click on "Remove driver". Then re-scanned in device manager. This usually leads to the network card showing up with a yellow exclamation mark, and I can not get it work again (have to use system restore).
2. Removed card, deinstalled driver, re-installed driver.
3. Rebooted a thousand times.
4. Used the Lenovo drivers.
5. Used the Intel drivers.
Doesn't matter what I do, I'm stuck with yellow exclamation marks in the end for the LAN and WLAN card, with not hope to repair them.
Driver version for the Intel 82579LM is 12.9.15.0
Driver version for the centrino advanced-n 6205 is 15.10.4.2
I'd really like some help on how to fix this so I'm able to configure my network manually.

For clarity, as your machine MTM number lists it with another type of WLAN adapter, and apparently, therein lies your problem.

Problems with Installing iTunes and wireless network connection

Every time I attempt to install iTunes it completely kicks the internet off and an error comes up that the wireless network adapter to not connect or is not detected. My internet service is connected to a router which I receive wirelessly to my laptop. I do not understand why it is happening and to get the internet to work again I needed to do a system restore. Any ideas why this is happening. Also when iTunes was installed it came up correctly, it would just not connect to the net. I have had a previous version on my old laptop but since purchasing this new laptop I am having such difficulty. On another note, if this problem can be resolved, once iTunes is working is there a way to get the songs from my old computer onto the new? Thanks for the help in advance!

I just saw your post and I resolved this on mine for my wired connection. I'm willing to bet that the issue is the same for wireless. Here's what I found.
Issue:
During the installation, iTunes installs some network components related to mobile device support over ethernet(Apple Mobile Device Ethernet Service - netaapl.inf). At the same time, according the logs, the install process removed OEM18.inf. This almost exactly coincided with the time that I saw the network connection die (preceded it by a few seconds).
Basically, iTunes appears to be removing a required network component.
Resolution:
After installing iTunes and the network connection breaking, remove the network device from Device Manager and allow Windows to reinstall it automatically.
The following instructions are for Windows 7, but they are close enough to follow for other versions of Windows.
1. Click the Start button (Jewel in Vista and Win7).
2. Right-click Computer and click Manage in the menu that appears (type your password or click Yes if prompted).
3. On the left side of hte Computer Management window, click Device Manager.
4. Click the arrow (or plus sign) next to Network Adapters to expand that section.
5. Right-click your network adapter and click Uninstall in the menu that appears.
6. Click OK.
7. Reboot.
Windows should automatically detect and reinstall your network device on boot.

Do I need to install x64 and x86 versions of SQL Server 2012 SP2?

Hi,
I have installed x64 version of SQL 2012 SP2. Do I need to install x86 version of SP2 as well?
(I have some x86 components installed as well that came with various things like SSDT-BI and/or Visual Studio installations.)
When I click "SQL Server Installation Center (64-bit).lnk" shortcut and run "Installed SQL Server features discovery report", it says "Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Setup Discovery Report".
When I click "SQL Server Installation Center.lnk" shortcut and run same, it says "Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 1 Setup Discovery Report".
Both reports say the same thing: the installed version is 11.2.5058.0, which is SP2.

Hello,
No you dont have to install X86 version
SQL server 2012 installable will install SQL server as per process architecture of your machine. If it is 32 bit machine it will install 32 bit version and for 64 bit it will install 64 bit version. installable has facility for both
Even on 64 bit machines some files, which always work in 32 bit compatibilyt mode, will be installed as well andand they go to SQL server (X86) folder. BIDS, SSIS always by default works in 32 bit compatibility mode.
If report says version as 11.2.5058 it means component is patched to SP2

Error 1603 Installing Creative Cloud from Network Path

I used the same method as I am going to describe below to install CS6 but I cannot do this with Creative Cloud.
After I built a install Package for Adobe Creative cloud I copied it up to a network share that I use for several other remote installations including Adobe CS6. I use Dell KACE to distribute my software and due to the large size of Creative Cloud and Creative Suite before it I do not want to copy the large install files directly to the appliance.
The problem I am having is when I try to install from this network location just as I have with CS6 I get the following error:
Installation operation failed
Windows Installer installed the product. Product Name: Adobe_CC_NoAcrobat. Product Version: 1.2.0000. Product Language: 1033. Manufacturer: Adobe Systems Incorporated. Installation success or error status: 1603.
Adobe_CC_NoAcrobat is what I named the package.
My install commands look like this:
start /wait \\SERVER\AdobeCC\Adobe_CC_NoAcrobat\Exceptions\ExceptionDeployer.exe --workflow=install --mode=pre
start /wait msiexec.exe /i "\\SERVER\AdobeCC\Adobe_CC_NoAcrobat\Build\Adobe_CC_NoAcrobat.msi" /qn /L*v c:\Adobe.log
start /wait \\SERVER\AdobeCC\Adobe_CC_NoAcrobat\Exceptions\ExceptionDeployer.exe --workflow=install --mode=post
I added the Logging after it kept failing to see what was going on and I can paste the entire log file if need be but if I copy the folder with the package contents locally and run the same commands from the same elevated command prompt it installs fine. Error 1603 usually points to some access rights issue but for the life of me I cannot determine what the issue is. I have given full control to "Everyone", "SYSTEM" and all users to the network share and it is only the MSI that fails it seems.

I have just run into this problem. I have made two packages earlier in the year (one of Creative Cloud Design and Web and one with Creative Cloud Master Collection both being for x64) and they both worked flawlessly when deploying via Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT). However I just went to make a new package of Master Collection (only including the applications we actually use) and it is now completely broken (I deleted my Creative Cloud Design and Web package from MDT but still have my old Master Collection package and it still works).
My older packages were created on Windows Server 2008 SP2 Enterprise 32bit and I have tried creating new packages on Windows Server 2012 R2 x64 and Windows Server 2003 SP2 Standard Edition 32bit and both give the same failure. I thought it might have been something about building on a x64 OS this time compared to last time but as I still get the same error when I tried to build from the Windows Server 2003 so that does not appear to be the case so I am guessing something has broken in the Creative Cloud Packager.
Has anyone tried going back to an older version of the Creative Cloud Packager? The current version is 1.6.0 Build 48 so if I can find a download link I will try and give version 1.5.0 a shot. Either way this needs to be fixed ASAP as it did work and I need a working deployment for the new Windows 8.1.1 Enterprise x64 image I am in the process of making.

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.

Sharing c3180 on w7 x64 over home network to x86 instances

I have a c3180 connected by usb to a windows 7 x64 instance.
This printer is shared over the home network and shows up on other machines (all windows 7) as an available printer but upon printing jobs will just sit in the print queue indefinitely and not be printed.
I believe this is because I do not have the x86 drivers that the other machines require installed on the windows 7 x64 machine to which the printer is connected.
On setting up printer sharing there is a button for 'Additional Drivers' which allows installation of x86 drivers. Here I can select to install a x86 'Type 3 - User Mode' driver but on oking this it asks for the location of the driver .inf file which I do not have and cannot find.
Where can I get the x86 driver from? I can only download the 'all in one' driver & software package from the hp site which I do not want as it's only the tiny driver file that I am after.
Thanks in advance for any responses.
John

Hi,
This issue can occur by incompatible printer driver. Since the driver is made by third party Manufacturer which we do not have enough Knowledge about it, to resolve
the issue, it’s highly recommended to involve the manufacturer for further assistance.
As an alternative method, I suggest you move the printer and connect to the Windows Vista machine directly, and then check whether it can be installed on the local
machine. If still not, I’m afraid that you have to contact Brother for more suggestions. Otherwise, you can share the printer on the Windows Vista to Windows 7 for a test.
Thanks,
Novak
