Laserjet 110 Jetdirext 300x and Windows 7 Networking

Hi,
I am trying, and hopefully not wasting my time, to network a Laserjet 1100, Jetdirect 300x on a Windows 7 64 bit system. Needless to say, I am having an issue. Seems the computer can't really see the Laserjet. It does see the 300x. I noticed the original printer cable was still being used. It's not an IEEE cable. Would getting one help any? Is this combination even possible? Is there anything else I need to look out for?
Any help is appreciated, thanks,
Steve

Using Airport Extreme- Printers & Hard Drives - Mac and WIndows XP Network

I might be asking a really dumb question now, I have a Mac Pro, a PC my sons use and a laptop my wife uses. The PC and laptop both run XP Pro.
I have my Airport Extreme set up and working well with my BT Home Hub acting as my modem only - that went much easier than I thought.
All I want to do is to set up a network - my Mac (wired) to my Airport Extreme with a Canon Printer and external hard drive. I also want to be able to share files on the PC and Laptop (wireless) with other users as well as the printers. Ideally, i'm looking for a video website that will easily show how to set this up. I appreciate I may need to view several clips to get this sorted. I have tried YouTube without much success.
As I said, this may be a dumb question.
Thanks in advance, Matt

1. So, what I want to do now is share an external hard drive also connected to my AEBS using a USB hub.
AirPort: How to mount an AirPort Extreme USB hard disk volume in Mac OS X and Windows
2. Share files on my other PC machines as well as their printers. So, if I need some text printing done quickly, I would print it from my sons' pc printer downstairs but request it from my mac upstairs.
I'm sure that Windows has the ability to share a printer, but I have no details on how to enable it.
3. Access / share files between Mac Pro, laptop and PC
On your Macs, go to the Sharing preference pane and enable File Sharing. Now they can be seen by other devices.
"How to Share Files between your Mac and PC"
"File sharing between Mac and PC"
4. Access Mac Pro online via Back to my Mac (I do have a mobile me account for this).
In the MobileMe preference pane on the Mac Pro, enable the Back To My Mac feature. Then on your remote Mac the Mac Pro should appear in the Finder's sidebar as a shared item.

Conflict with WRT160N and Windows Wireless Network Connection

I have a WRT160N router connected to a Verizon FIOS cable modem with five computers (all Windows based) wirelessly connected to the N router. Four of the computers auto detect the N router connection when the computer starts up using Windows Wireless Network Connection and operate well. One of the computers, which is the only one running Easylink for router configuration, will not connect through the Wireless Network Connection. I have to use Easylink to manually connect. The WNC gives a msg that Windows cannot configure this wireless connection and to configure the wireless connection using Wireless Zero Configuration service. When I configure WZC correctly the WNC sees all available networks and allows me to select the Advanced Wireless checkbox to allow Windows to connect to the wireless network. However, when I reboot the computer none of the configuration parameters are saved and I am back to manually connecting using Easylink and going through the entire process again. Any suggestions? Thx

Uninstall the EasyLink and connect manually. I think EasyLink 3.0 or later is coming soon ..

WRT 1900AC and Windows 7 network naming question(s)

Background: I had a Linksys E3000 up and running for about 5 years in a stable network environment. The E3000 died, and I put in a new WRT 1900AC to replace it. In the process of getting things set up correctly the main "network name" in my network displays shows up as a name assigned to a Wireless portion of my network. The "Wired" portion shows up in diagrams, and to windows, as well as both of the main wirless bands but not as the central node between either of the wired Win7 computers and the internet I would like to get the Windows 7 machines on my network to display the wired network name in Windows 7 as the primary network, and NOT one of the wireless ones. Almost everything I want to be able to do is working just fine except for the network map display in Windows 7 where I have been trying to configure a "home group" that will not yield to my efforts.,
I use "suffix" notation in the naming, so my router on ethernet is .<ame>..NET, the wireless lower band is <name>...W24 upper band is <name>...W5. I have not figured out how to get the artifacts of the "setup sequence of events" out of the Windows 7 displays in "network neighborhood" so I have a more rational picture that has Ethernet at the core and the wireless bands as additional subsidiary networks not necessarily associated with all my devices. I know this is not technicallly a Linksys issue, but... Can I simply delete alll the neworking information in Windows 7, and reboot, and then force the computer to set up a network based on the correct network node labels. provided by the router? I'm a bit worried that I might have to "reset" everything which would be a huge **bleep** since almost all of what I want to do is working just fine, I'm just not quite clear some times whether the process of connecting from one computer to another, or to a NAS attached to the router is going through the wired network or the wireless one where performance can be a big issue. My Ethernet is "certified" at 1gbps which is a lot faster than the wireless networking. Sometimes it seems that accessing the NAS attached to the router is being done "through a tiny straw, not the fast pipe in the wiered world. I used to do a lot of NETBIOS networking in Windows "back in the day" and my network naming conventions have probably not kept up with the times, but I still have two Windows XP computers wired into my household network, and when "debugging" things I think of the Ethernet as central and the wirless portions as additional networks, not the other way around. Unfortunately Windows 7 seemed to grab the wireless names first, probably because the machines in question both have wireless and wired connectivity built in and available in their hardware and the one that was set up and working with the old router when the new one got plugged in was used to do the initialization initially using the default sequence built into the router software. I was able to go back and rename everything to get rid of the default names, but my Android based network monitor only works within range of the router and not when the phone is connected to the internet outside of the house. I've never been able to get the phone support folks to help me clear that issue up either. .. When I added the second computer, the same thing happened out of the box, Windows took the name of the first wireless network it found and put it into the network neighborhood as the device in the path between the new computer and the internet, I can "see" the host name of the router correctly from everywhere, and map to the 1TB disk I have hung on it from all of my computers, but the Internet connection is actually an ethernet drop from a cable modem to an ethernet port on the router, not to either of the wireless bands that show up.

@zundapman Hi! What's the current firmware of your router? Make sure that your firmware is up to date with the latest version. Also, are you referring to the Windows explorer's map or the User Interface map of the router or the Network and sharing map of your computer?

Snow Leopard and Windows 7 networking - Can't see in Finder

I have 6 Mac Pros all networked, and have just added 2 Windows 7 Ultimate computers. I have gone through the setup on all machines so that I SHOULD be able to see the Windows 7 machine in the finder, but I cannot. I have a folder on one of the Windows 7 machines that I have shared with "Everyone", but still no dice. I have a Windows XP machine that I hooked up and it shows up fine in the finder automatically. The Windows 7 machines however do not. Can anyone shed some light on what I might be missing? Thanks in advance.

I just bought the new macbook pro this Monday and I had to transfer huge amount of files from my Win7 laptop. I was able to share my Win7 c:/ d:/ and "User" drives on the sharing network. It's pretty easy if you follow this tutorial on youtube.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSm0YflelJ4
In summary
On Win7:
- join a Workgroup if you haven't; if you're already part of Homegroup, turn file sharing on
- go to the files or drives you want to share with then right-click. Go to >share with >specific person>
- Set up an account for "Guest", and add privileges
On Mac OSx (mine's Snow Leopard 10.6.6)
- Go to finder, on the window type cmd+K or right-click to finder and click "Connect to Server" (both are the same)
- type in smb://[pc name]/user
- Connect
If you want to connect to other files or drives on Win7, just allow sharing with "Guest" by adding privileges, you do the same for Mac with Network Sharing.
Hope this helps.

Time Capsule and Windows Vista network

Hi everyone,
Just looking for some advice/feedback.
I have recently purchased a MacBook Pro and love it. Now considering buying a Time Capsule - 3 reasons - extra storage space, allow printing from all computers, and ease of backup with Time Machine.
I currently have a DLink wireless modem/router that is wired to a Windows Vista PC, a windows laptop and the new Mac.
My question is: How will the Time Capsule fit in with everything? I am guessing that the DLink will remain wired to the PC, and the Time Capsule will be plugged into the DLink. Will I gain extra speed with the Time Capsule and how do I allow it to take over the wireless network?
Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Welcome to the discussions!
"When I try
to connect it sees the new network I set up,
but won't connect to the internet."
Are you saying that the Vista PC will connect to the wireless network, but can't get an internet connection, or it can see the wireless network, but can't connect?
If it cannot connect to the wireless network, is there an error message displayed? If so, what does the message say?

Mac 10.5 and Windows 7 networking question(s)...

So after about 5 hours of work I finally got my iMac desktop (10.5) to network wirelessly with my Windows 7 laptop. All is well, except that my entire mac desktop hard drive shows up on the network even though I only have one specific folder set to "share" on my Mac desktop. I can't figure out why the whole thing is showing up. Any suggestions? I've checked and rechecked my settings and only the one folder (not the public folder, but a different one if it matters) is checked to share. The user on the Mac that shares info with the laptop is the administrator, if that matters.
Also, I have another apple laptop. Is it possible to share both a windows laptop and a mac laptop with a mac desktop at the same time? I don't think it is because you have to set file sharing to "smb" to network with windows and not use "afp" or "ftp" and I don't think mac can use "smb" between two macs. Is that right? I can't get the mac laptop to network and I assume that this is the reason, but I thought I'd ask.
Thanks in advance.

Mac prints. PC does not. Bonjour Printer Wizard found the printer, so there's some communication between the two (although the printer never came on, but I assume the AX knows what it’s plugged into).
One odd thing is that, after installing the printer driver (downloaded from Brother), Bonjour Printer Wizard listed Brother as a printer manufacturer three times, only one of which shows the HL-2040.
The las time I tried printing from Windows the printer turned on, but did not print.

Leopard, Linux and Windows mixed networks

Oh oh so funny. I installed Leopard on my mac. I have a mixed network, with PCs, Macs and Linux machines.
I discovered that Leopard networking is a nightmare, something back like Windows 95. Is not a joke!
After installing with an upgrade from 10.4.10, all the Windows machines of my network disappeared. )-: . No way to see in the finder. But ok, using the terminal I can manage to use. But...
My real problem started when I tried to reconnect the drives from the Linux machines. The new networking act like Windows, Iit doesn't allow me to choice different passwords and usernames from each drives in the same server. Ok, I say myself "for the moment, I mount one volume, I use it, then I unmount, I mount another volume etcetera". Not so useful, but manageable. And here the second nightmare begin: Finder isn't able to disconnect my disk! I use the eject button, or the "disconnect" button and the disk remain mounted. I rebooted the machine. Same, the disk is mounted. I restarted both mac and linux machine. Same, it reconnect the drive )-: . So I'm locked to one drive of my server and I can't do nothing else.
If someone with a mixed network is experimenting the same issues, please help!
Thanks a lot!
P.S. I'm really disappointed. Before making jokes (with the PCs of the network displayed with the blue screen of death icon) they must use the time to test their system... and hey, please don't display the BSOD icon when the machines connected to the network are Linux computers (-: !!!

Read the hint is this blog about the Mac to Linux SAMBA fix.
Did you go to System Preferences->Sharing pane and turn on File sharing on (hit the 'Advanced' button to choose the kind of sharing protocols)?
Also do mix and matching from the articles File Sharing With OS X 10.5 - Introduction to File Sharing With Your Mac (for XP sharing) & File Sharing With Snow Leopard: Sharing OS X 10.6 Files With Windows 7 (for 10.6.x sharing). Mixing these two articles can help you share as long as you are in the same IP subnet.

Is there a simple set of instructions and explanations to assist me set up my iMac with XP in Bootcamp, my Macbook, and my windows laptop running XP also.My computer knowledge is less than expert.

Hello, the OfficeJet 6500A E710 is a ethernet only product. The OfficeJet 6500A Plus has wireless support. Since the printer's front panel network settings do not have the wireless options, I suspect you do not have the Plus model and that is why you cannot setup wireless. Do you have the 6500A Plus or 6500A?

Solaris 8 and windows 2000 network

Hi Gururs,
I have two windows 2000 servers and one Solaris 8 Intel server. Windows servers can ping solaris server but Solaris server can't ping windows servers. I have added solaris server in hosts file in windows. Also added win servers in hosts file in solaris and resolv.conf file. But not working. I tried to add the IP address of one window server as default router but got message Unknow host/gateway. Please help and guide how can I network all 3 servers using a hub switch and ethernet cards. Thank you.

the problem is that solaris requires its dns server that its connecting through to issue it a hostname where as with windows machine the have a hostname configured locally. So if you goto in the DNS management console in win2k and make a record for the Solaris box with its IP address & hostname you'll find that should solve your problem

Wireless printing from mixed Mac (10.6) and Windows 7 network

My wife's five-year-old iBook is on its last legs and her demands just don't justify dropping a grand on a Macbook, sadly. I'm looking at a $500 Wintel laptop running Windows 7 Home. Will she be able to print to the printers connected to the AX without upsetting my connection through a MBP?

Mac prints. PC does not. Bonjour Printer Wizard found the printer, so there's some communication between the two (although the printer never came on, but I assume the AX knows what it’s plugged into).

HP LaserJet P1505n stops printing and blocks network interface

I have been using my P1505n for over two years without any problem. But it suddenly stopped printing. The scenario is as follows:
1. The P1505n is connected to a wired home network with reserved IP address in the DHCP server.
2. The P1505n is used from Ubuntu 10.4, 11.4 , Windows XP and Windows 7 without any previous problems.
3. The last partial successful print job stopped in the middle of a page leaving the rest blank: no paper jam.
4. I have reset the printer several times: turn off + press Cancel & Go + turn on while holding the two buttons down.
5. The first reset was successful: the toner level going from 40 to 100%. The next ones may have been successfull too.
6. After each reset and also after each power-on, I can ping and access the embedded web server.
7. Whenever I send a print job, the print queue on the computer (all OS behave identically) says "printing" and stops. I can cancel/remove the jobs from Ubuntu.
8. After the printer receives the print job, it silently blocks the network interface (no ping nor web) and doesn't print anything. No movementsm no LED blinking either: just nothing happens.
What is the reason for this problem? And how do I solve it?

Hi firedude007,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I see that your HP Laserjet P1102w stops printing files from your Mac but not on Windows, and I am happy to help!
For further assistance, I will need to know the following information:
The version number of the Mac Operating System. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos.
If the printer is connected, Wireless, or USB.
If the printer is able to make copies by itself.
In the meantime, I would try the following:
Reset the printing system. Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system.
Verify and repair disk permissions. Disk Utility 12.x: Repair disk permissions.
Hope to hear from you, and thank you for posting!

HP Laserjet P2055dn and windows 8 PCL6 error

Hello everyboby,
I have a network of two PCs and a networked HP Laserjet P2055dn. The PCs were in windows xp pro and everything go fine. I have changed their PCs with Hp Pro and windows 8 64bits as OS. Since the PCs are windows 8, both users have random PCL6 errors when they print. It does not occur everytime. I have updated the printer firmware to latest ==> same issue.
When i look at the printer configuration, i see that Laserjet P2055dn supports Pcll5e and ps but no PCL6. But on the HP site, for windows 8, there's only PCL5 and Ps driver !!! Anyway, i have tried each driver: PCL6, full software solution driver, Universal print ==> same issue.
Does anyboby has encounter this issue ? What is the solution ?
Thanks to everybody for interest, Sincerly yours, David from France

AlarconDavid,
I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial printer. You can do this at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/ .

Windows 7 home premium and windows 8.1 pro op network problem

I have two PC-s, one is with windows 7 home premium and the other one with windows 8.1 pro op system. They are wired via ethernet/ home network. Till I had old Windows XP instead of Windows 7, the two PC-s were connected,
file sharing and device sharing was easy and functioning.
Today it doesn't, windows 8.1 finds the other PC and creating the network, even identifying the different folders on the other PC however as I want to open a file, then loading forever starts, but
on the other side the windows 7 PC is frozen, only the hard switch off helps. ...
Any idea what to do? The diagnose shows that the access was lost.

Here is the forum for you
