Network Magic Looses Printer Share on Reboot

Hi Folks,
How do you setup a persistent printer share when the host machine reboots ?
My host is a Compaq Desktop with Vista and an HP 3300 printer.
I am running Network Magic 5.5.9195.0
When I reboot, the shared computer is not shared anymore, I need to go into the Sharing Screen and re-share every time.
Any thoughts ?
Thanks

Odd,
I can retain a single printer on reboot, but not two.
More testing is needed !
Stay Tuned.

  • Network Magic link of network printer to iPad

    there are two iPads on my network.  I have a shared HP8500A printer that the laptops print to, and the network printer shows up on the ipads, but will not print or cannot seem to find the printer as it shows it is looking for the printer, but nothing ever happens.  If I chose a photo on the ipad, the printer comes up and prints when you click print.  However, I cannot print any other docments or web content off the ipad.  any ideas?

    you mentioned that you tried to edit the NETWORKLIB.XML file how did you do it? How many computers are using network magic? I have encountered this before wherein the network map will not sure the devices correctly.
    Try the link below but once you are done doing the steps you need to turn off the computer and move on to the next until you finish doing the necessary steps. Once done with all the computers reboot the router and then turn on your computers one by one to see if that will help resolve the issue.

  • Printer sharing problem in Network Magic

    I have a desktop computer running Windows XP connected to a HP Photosmart 1115 printer.  I have a laptop running Windows 7.  I installed Network Magic on both machines.  The network map is showing the printer with a yellow directional arrow going both ways.  When I right-click on the printer and choose "Complete printer setup"  a pop-up screen appears "Connecting to hp photosmart 1115 series on (name of desktop)."  Then another screen pops-up "No driver found".  Then another screen pops-up "File needed:  Printer driver INF for Hp photosmart 1115 series".  Not sure where to look on desktop?  I tried some inf printers drivers but I get "Windows cannot connect to printer".  I also get error 0x00000214 which tells me to set-up the printer by creating a port with \\desktopname\\printername.  This changed the look of the printer icon in the control panel but the printer did not work on either of the machines.  The only way I can print from the laptop is to save my files into a shared folder and then go to the desktop and open the shared folder and print.  Is there any other solution to this problem besides buying a new printer that is compatible with Windows 7?  There are no drivers from HP available to work in Windows 7.  I also am using Norton Security Suite with Comcast.

    Hi jamhome,
    You will not be able to use the Printer from your  Windows 7 Laptop without compatible Windows 7 Drivers. I purchased a Lexmark X6570 which is Wireless and works in Windows 7 Utlimate 64-Bit Version Computer.
    You need to purchase a Printer or All-in-One that plugs into the Router or is Wireless to each computer.
    You also need to open up Windows 7's Network and Sharing Center which may  or may not help.
    If you need additional help include the information that the posts at the top of the Forum asks for.

  • Network Magic Pro 5.5 keeps dropping my router and wireless printer ...

    ...multiple times per day.
    WIN 7 Pro 64-bit, SP1
    Network Magic 5.5.9195.0-Pure0
    Motorola Surfboard  model SB6120 Cable modem
    Windows Firewall configured by Norton Security Suite 6.2.1.5
    Linksys WRT54G2 router ver.1
    My problem is as stated in the header.  My router needs to have the power cycled multiple times a day because it is dropping my internet access.  This problem did not occur until I purchased in installed Network Magic.  Also, the wireless printer needs to have the cycle powered almost as often.  I've had both the router and wireless printer for more than 2 years and never experienced this problem before installing Network Magic
    I manually changed my MTU setting to 1472 from Automatic.  This has not helped.
    Any other suggestions?
    Thanks!

    From what I know, the network magic software won't affect your internet connection since it is just  a software to use to manage your network. You may want to isolate the problem first. You can try uninstalling the network magic software from your computers and try to observe your connection again.

  • Network name keeps changing with Print Share

    I have 3 iMacs on a network using a Brother MFC-9840CDW printer. My computer is set for print sharing. I keep getting messages that the name of my computer is already in use on this network and it keeps adding a higher number at the end of the name. But as soon as it does that, the other computer cannot print until I change my computer name back to the previous number. It works for a while, and then I get the network name error message again.
    What can I do to resolve this? Thanks.

    New MB user. have windows network. installed printer CUPS driver for my brother 7820N printer. can print when connected directly with USB. MB recognizes printer when not connected directly...must be going through the wireless network. try to print and little printer icon on DOCK starts jumping...says printer is Off-Line. can see the files in the queue.
    Any ideas on how to make the printer "on-line"? Thank you.

  • Network activity report printing

    I can't print multiple pages of the network activity report. When I view multiple pages under the print option, one page shows up with a line across the bottom of the page.
    Having problems with my Comcast cable loosing internet connection and want to show them a report over a week's time but can't get more than a page to print. The screen report shows it all,just can't print it.
    I'm running 3.11.9139.94. Computer is Vista home edition.

    Hello billj, uninstall LELA and install Network Magic instead! LELA's print option doesn't work (based on what i've experienced). I tried Network Magic program and its printing option works!

  • Network Magic & E-1200s?

    My old router gone bad, I had and got this one, but seem network magic don't work with link/ Cisco router
    links WI-Fi
    Router N300 monitor
    model: 10822C66347939
    like to have any tip how to get home  network with this router and share printer setting with-in this family
    was in hope network magic newest version would do the trick, but it don't even see it?
    Do network magic work with E-1200s router at all? Need to see the other computer
    * Windows Xp pro and Windows 7 in the same house hold
    hope there some help with this

    You can't expect things to stay specially in technology. You can try using the new cisco connect software that came with your E1200 router instead of network magic. Who knows, you might like it more that network magic. After all, software manufacturers will not release their product unless it is tested.

  • Default printer resetting after reboot in Windows 7 x64

    I'm managing a domain with roughly 450 clients, all running Windows 7 Ent x64, and about 50 printers. All clients have the same desktop image with the exception of a few desktops need special additional software. I push out printers via GPO and it was
    running fine until recently. The client pc would reset it default printer every time the pc reboot or log off. First, there was only a handful and now it spreads to almost half the number of pc are being effect with this problem. I've tried different
    approaches, even completely rewrite the GPOs with no success. The pc would reset to either PDFCreator or OneNote or XPS or Fax. I found that if I re-image the client desktop the default printer would remain default but I'm keeping that as the
    last option since it involves with data migrating and probably consumes a whole lot of time (200+ effected pc). Any leads or suggestions are much appreciated, my clients are not happy and they are chewing me alive :)
     I must add that setting default printer via GPO is not an option for me since people with different groups or branches are sharing the same building/floor.

  • Vonage Adapter on Network Magic Pro goes offline for no reason

    1. Network Magic version: 5.5.9195.0-Pure0
    2. Internet connection via Texas Communications in Bryan, Texas which is line of sight tower transmission to the dish receiver
    (modem) on my home. http://www.tconline.net/default.htm
    3. Texas Communications Modem - Motorola Canopy (Motorola Wireless Broadband Platform)
    4. D-Link Router DIR-615, Hardware version B2, Firmware 2.25
    5. Problem device is Vonage Voice over IP box (Vonage V-Portal Digital Phone Adapter) wired to the router.
    6. Computer uses Windows XP Home Edition with sp3.
    7. AVG version 10.0.1204 Anti-Virus Free Edition 2011
    8. Windows firewall.
    The problem occurs when the Vonage adapter drops offline (according to Network Magic Pro) for some unknown reason. The icon for  Vonage dims in the NMP map but the Vonage phone continues to work at a degraded level (about every 2nd or 3rd word spoken is not received).
    I've tried port forwarding the Vonage adapter but this doesn't keep the adapter online.
    Once the Vonage adapter drops offline the only way I've found to correct the problem is to delete the adapter from NMP then
    re-install it again. There doesn't seem to be a way to wake up the adapter once offline. I can reboot my network computers and this doesn't affect the Vonage adapter.
    Help!

    You have to do a little better than that.
    Printer?
    current drivers?
    Network? wireless? or bad USB cable?

  • How to remove the "Index Page" option from the Router in Network Magic Pro 5.5.9195

    I find it ironic and I can click on my router in the Map view of network magic, and the last option is "Index Page".  This immediately loads my router setup in a browser window. It completely bypasses the router login and password.  I do not want anyone to be able to start my PC, open Network Magic, and click this option and have access to my router.  This is stupid.  How do you turn this option off, remove it, or hide it?
    Yes, I know, I could put a password on my PC, but I share it, with other family members, and at this time I don't have user accounts setup for them.  
    I am looking for a solution in Network Magic, not my OS.
    Thanks,
    Brian

    Anything you do without submitting to form has to be done on the client side (ususally by JavaScript) using data which has been send already from the server.
    With JavaScript you can do quite a bit. You can download tables which don't necessarilly appear on the screen, loading them into JavaScript arrays by dynamically generating javascript. Then you can pick up events like drop-box selection and use these tables to chose what you do next (e.g. preloading other fields, setting drop box content etc.).
    Or, you can cause forms to be submitted when actions like a selection happen without the user clicking a button. It's generally a matter of how much data you'd need to transmit.
    Another posibility is to use a Java applet, which can generate requests to the server and handle the results as it chooses. That are a number of problems with that but occasionally it's the best solution.
    What you can't do is to handle user input inside a JSP. The JSP has come and gone before the user even gets to see your form.

  • Network Magic Confusion

    Hi – My problem is that NWM is confused and thinks that I do not have a link to my router.  Also, following changes to my network the map has not been updated.  How do I get Network Magic to update it’s map? 
    Last night I tried to upgrade the FW on my BEFSR41 and ended up with a brick – not sure why, but I have been unable to revive it.  I had this Dlink DI-624 which I was using simply as an access point, and I then moved over to be the Gateway.  I was going to replace the BEFSR41 with another one, but instead got a WRT160 which I put in place of the DLink to act as the Access point.  All network functionality seems fine, but Network Magic is confused.  Besides not recognizing that the DLINK router has been moved, it also does not see the new Linksys WRT160.  This is the same on all three computers running NWM. 
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.  Below is the requested info re: my network. 
    TIA – Tom

    THX for the reply, Augie.  Uninstalling Network Magic, then ckeaning out the remnants and finally reinstalling Network Magic on all three computers did in fact allow the program to recognize the topology changes.  This, however, seems like a cumbersome solution to the discovery & mapping of topology changes.

  • How to delete screenshots in Network Magic 5.5?

    I am running Network Magic version 5.5.9195.0 on my home network. One of its features is the ability to take desktop screenshots of connected computers. NM will store up to 100 screenshots before overwriting the oldest ones. Rather than accumulating screenshots which are not relevant anymore, I like to delete the ones I have no need for anymore. That way I also save HDD space.
    The screenshots are stored in the following location:
    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Pure Networks\Platform\ScreenCaptures
    However, deleting screenshots does NOT remove them from the Past Screenshots list in Network Magic. Hence my question: how do I not only delete screenshots from my computer, but also from the Past Screenshots list in Network Magic? I opened a ticket for this question with Pure Networks, but they closed it without a conclusive answer...

    Hi Flevokiwi,
    Best solution for right now, is to uninstall Network Magic. Reboot. Use Explore to delete the remaining folders of Network Magic. Run Disk Cleanup. Reboot and reinstall Network Magic. Use your other copy of Network Magic to reactivate the reinstalled copy of Network Magic.
    This was asked before and no one from Network Magic Beta Forums had any other answer.

  • Windows Printer Share-Worked... now its not

    I have 7 computers, mac and PC that are all able to connect to a printer share except for 1 computer. The Lexmark T522 is connected via Serial to a Windows XP box that has standard printer sharing enabled. For months all the computers on the network could print fine to it fine. 2 days ago i installed the latest security update on our intel-imac... now it cannot connect to the printer.
    Was there something in the latest security update that messed up printing to windows printer shares?
    I go to printers and faxes, Add a printer(the other was deleted through my troubleshooting) I have to choose "more printers", and then have to choose our "workgroup (called workgroup)" I see the shared computers and select the one with the printer installed. I hit the "choose" button and get a request for username and password. I get after about 30 seconds "Unable to connect to server with provided username and password" "error 256" and an Okay button.
    NOTE: i can connect via the same method with all the other macs here at our house (none of them have been updated with the latest security update yet though).

    Hey, man.
    This started happening to me, too, right after I installed the latest security update. Suddenly I could no longer print to the Windows shared printer at work. Got the exact same error you got.
    Thankfully, the printer happens to be wireless and ethernet enabled, so we were able to work around it. But after 4 hours of total troubleshooting, we haven't been able to figure out how to print to it as a shared printer.
    Weird,

  • Connect mac client to mac printer share across subnets

    I need to share printers from a Mac.  I need to connect
    Mac clients on different subnets to the Mac shared printers.  I installed
    a Mac mini, connected to printers via HP JetDirect Socket (port 9100), and
    shared them.  I was able to print from the Mac mini, and connect Mac
    clients on the same subnet to the shared printers with Bonjour and print.
    I moved the Mac mini to its intended location on another subnet.  I
    immediately learned that Bonjour does not publish services across
    subnets.  I could not find documentation on how to connect to a Mac shared
    printer across subnets, but I did find some third party documentation (only some incomplete
    documentation from Apple) on how to implement DNS-SD Service Discovery.  I
    enabled DNS-SD and was able to publish the printer shares across subnets, but I
    was still unable to connect to the printer shares from a Mac client.  I
    found some third party documentation (none from Apple) on how to manually connect to a Mac
    printer share by specifying the IP address of the server, specifying the CUPS
    default IPP protocol, and the print queue name.  I was unable to connect
    to the shared printers.  I receive ping replies from my Mac mini, and port
    scan reveals that port 631 for IPP, CUPS default, is open.  Printer
    sharing is configured so everyone can print. I am able to connect to the Mac
    mini with VNC Screen Sharing.  I don’t see how this can be a network
    issue.
    Macs don’t seem to like to connect to our Windows
    shared printers because of our PaperCut software, and connecting Mac clients to
    Windows printer shares and authentication is beyond the average user,
    exacerbated by Macs not behaving the same as Windows when bound to an Active
    Directory domain.
    I called Apple support, they escalated to Apple Enterprise
    support.  Apple Enterprise support said they couldn’t help me beyond a
    single network with no subnets, but Apple Engineering might be able to solve
    the problem for $695.
    Why do I need to pay $695 to learn how to connect Mac
    clients to Mac shared printers, something that should be easy and intuitive and
    have documentation readily available?  Windows printer sharing is easy and
    intuitive and documentation is readily available, and services are published
    across subnets without have to implement DNS-SD.

    Thank you for your reply.  I followed the instructions in the sybaspot.com site and in some of the included references to set up DNS-SD.  DNS-SD worked, but I couldn't connect the Mac client to the Mac shared printers.
    I also found http://www.papercut.com/products/ng/manual/ch-mac-printing-10-8-9.html#ch-mac-pr inting-10-8-9-sharing-printers.
    I expanded my search and found this: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13940, last modified May 8, 2014.  I started work on my project February 2014.  Apple Support could have told me about this document.
    PH13940 says: "The computers must be on the same local network as your Mac".  Apple must not consider multiple subnets one network.
    PH13940 says: "Printer sharing is for printers attached directly to your Mac. You don’t need to share network printers, because they are already shared on the network."
    Apple must define "network printers" as any printer with a network interface.  Microsoft defines network printers as printers shared by another computer.  TCP/IP ports are local ports on a Windows computer, so TCP/IP connected printers are local printers that can be shared.  Multiple users on a Mac all see the same connected printers.  Multiple users on Windows all see the same local printers, but network printer connections can be different for each user.
    Apple must not see any value in accounting for printing and assigning the cost to the user or department.  We need to account for printing and cannot have any users bypassing the system by printing directly to printers.  I have created Access Control lists on the printers to limit connections to the specific IP addresses of our print servers.
    The documents about setting up DNS-SD and IPP connections must have assumed USB connected printers on a Mac.  The odd thing is that I was able to share a network printer from the Mac mini when the client Mac was on the same subnet.  Is PH13940 wrong?
