Networking New HP Win 8.1 x64 Laptop to XP Network Printer

We have finally decided to upgrade my wife's old laptop PC.  Bought a new HP Pavilion Win 8.1 x64 bit notebook.  Now spending days trying to get it to perform basic functions. 
The new notebook and my old faithful Dell Win XP SP3 x32 bit desktop are on same network workgroup and communicate through our wifi network.
Now I'm going through PC hell trying to get the new notebook to print to the HP 1320 printer, which is USB hardwire connected to the XP desktop.
The 1320 printer is shared on the XP desktop, and the Win 8.1 notebook "sees" the HP 1320 printer.  But when I try to print to the 1320 printer from the Win 8.1 notebook, I get the dreaded error message "No driver found.  Windows can't find a driver for hp Laserjet 1320 on the network. ..."
Do I install a new driver on the Win 8.1 notebook?  If so, what driver do I install:  the HP Laserjet 1320 driver for Win 8.1 (x64 or x32 bit?)?  Or the HP Laserjet 1320 driver for Win XP (again x64 or x32 bit?)?
Or do I intall a new driver on the Win XP desktop?  If so, what driver do I install:  the HP Laserjet 1320 driver for Win 8.1 (x64 or x32 bit?)?  Or the HP Laserjet 1320 driver for Win XP (again x64 or x32 bit?)?
Some additional informatation, which may be useful:  Using the XP desktop PC, I can copy files from the desktop to the notebook and vice versa, and I can access files on the notebook, no problem.  However, using the Win 8.1 notebook I can see shared folders on the desktop, but can't access files on the desktop for some reason, which I cannot solve.  Perhaps this has something to do with the printer/driver problem.
Driving me crazy!! Help would be really appreciated!!!

Hi,
You have to use driver for new machine which is Windows 8.1. For accessing files on the desktop, you need to give permissions from your desktop to allow access from new laptop.  Nothing to do with printer drivers. Please try driver for your printer from the following link:

Since the printer is old, all I can say: Good luck.
Regards.

  • New laptop won't print wirelessly to a network printer

    I just bought a new laptop running windows 7, and it wont print to my photosmart c5580 that is networked and wired through my computer (desktop) and shared running windows XP. I also know that my computer has to be on for this to happen, I also know that the printer is networked correctly cause I have another desktop that prints fine wirelessly through the network. The laptop recognizes the printer as well as other files that are being shared, I have also downloaded the windows 7 driver for that printer, as well as change the name of the workgroup to match the rest of the computers on the network. Any help will be appreciated.

    Hi,
    There is a challenge sharing a 32 bit driver from XP to a 64 bit version of Windows 7, as a software installation defaults to 64 bit. The exact opposite happens on a 64 bit XP to 32 bit Windows 7. The solution is to use Add a device, and check the x86 box when prompted. Here are the links to HP documents which should help you resolve the issue:

  • Acrobat 9.2 & Win 7 x64 Very Slow Printing to Xerox network Printer

    I have Win 7 Ultimate x64 and Acrobat 9.2, opening the print dialogue box and trying to print is either exceptionally slow or does not work at all.  I have looked through the forums but cannot find any help, does anybody have any ideas.
    Lenovo T61p
    Xerox 8650MFP
    Win 7 x64 Ultimate

    I feel your pain:
    Windows 7 64-bit
    Xerox 8560MFP - network connected
    Acrobat 8 Pro or Acrobat 9 Extended
    Problem:  When printing portrait, one blank page is form fed, then on second page prints portrait but in landscape mode, and only on 1/2 page on right side (as if in book mode).
    Any other application prints fine,  including Word, Excel, Explorer.  Multiple Xerox drivers have been tried.
    Have tried many posted solutions - including changing advanced printer options,  selecting different adobe *.inf installations.
    Suffering for over 1 1/2 months.
    Adobe - please resolve!

  • Win 7 Pro x64 Error 0x8007046a: Not enough server storage is available to process this command.

    I installed Win 7 Pro x64 on a reasonably decent  machine (Nvidia nForce 680i SLI, core 2 duo, 4 gig ram). It was a clean install on a freshly formatted partition. While copying a large bunch of files from another machine on the LAN, I get "Error 0x8007046a: Not enough server storage is available to process this command." It does give me the option to retry and continue, but the error inevitably pops up again later during the copy. Googling the error, I found a reference to it, suggesting I go to the registry and increase the IRPStackSize (but this article was not specific to Win 7). I tried increasing it as high as 32 hex. This reduces the frequency of the error, but does not eliminate it completely. Also, I now see a new error sometimes that says, "Too many files are currently in use. Quit one or more programs and then try again." That's odd, because I don't have anything else running. I haven't seen these errors when copying files to different partitions on the machine, so I assume it's something to do with network.

    Hi,
    To troubleshoot the issue, please try to do an In-Place Upgrade to repair the system.
    1. Start the computer by using the current Operating System.
    2. Insert the Windows 7 DVD in the computer's DVD drive.
    3. Use one of the following procedures, as appropriate:
    If Windows automatically detects the DVD, the Install now screen appears. Click Install now.
    If Windows does not automatically detect the DVD, follow these steps:
    a. Click the Start Button, type Drive:\setup.exe in the start search box and then click OK.
    Note: Drive is the drive letter of the computer's DVD drive.
    b. Click Install now.
    4. When you reach the "Which type of installation do you want?" screen, click Upgrade to upgrade the current operating system to Windows 7.
    Thanks,
    Novak

  • Installati​on error 0x00004005 when installing aHP 1220c network printer on a win 7 - 64 bit

    I am attempting to install an HP 1220c printer on my new Win 7-64 laptop. The laptop finds the printer connected to a desktop XP computer automatically when I click "Add New Network Printer" but the installation fails with error 0x00004005. If I connect the printer via a USB cable directly to the new laptop, it installs OK.
    After the USB install went OK, I replugged the printer into the XP desktop and tried again. I got the same error message even though the laptop found the printer on the desktop automatically.

    Hi Bob,
    Thank you for your reply.
    Yes I have tried the CS5 Cleanup Tool - multiple times.  Doesn't help.
    I am surprised to hear that you installed with no problems in light of Tech Support being adament that it won't work on Windows 7 and is not supported.
    I told Tech that I didn't accept that as there are probably hundreds of thousands of users with CS3 who have installed or tried to install on a Win7 machine and not everyone has hundreds of dollars spare to upgrade.
    I only really use DW, PS and Acrobat in the Suite so I'm going to have to save to buy those products but it won't be anytime soon.
    Thanks.

  • Connecting network Printer to laptops via wireless

    My daughter received a new Toshiba laptop for Christmas to help with her school work and I have been working to get it setup. I have nearly everything working fine including a network connection for internet through my network router, but I am having difficulty  with connecting the laptop to my network printer. I have a Belkin F7D3302 v1 wireless router that serves as my network router and this Belkin router is connected via an ethernet cable to my desktop and the router is also connected wirelessly to my Alienware laptop (both run Windows 7) - I have full connectivity with both of these computers and no printing issues - I also have an older Sont Vaio laptop that runs Windows XP SP3 - it is also connected wirelessly to the network and I can print from this computer without any problem. I went into my daughter's computer to install the printer and although it found the printer the TEST PAGE would not print and the computer shows the printer as being offline. I did do a look at the Network Config on the printer and it shows the IP address as all zeros which I found odd, but my Alienware and Sony are conected so I should be able to get my daughters laptop to connect. Any help would be appreciated to get my daughters laptop connected to the printer

    I have rebooted the laptop multiple times while using HP Scan and Print doctor, but to no avail. I am baffled largely because the ISP service connected between the Belkin router and the laptop without any difficulties and although when I click on Add Printer it shows the network printer it shows the status as offline continuously - when i try to start the HP software direct on the laptop (I installed the original HP software to the laptop) it says it cannot start because the printer has not finished installing. I am guessing it is either a Win 8.1 issue of some sort.

  • Error trying to install Win 8.1 x64 Enterprise

    Brand new iMac 27", fully loaded, 1 TB SSD, 32 GB RAM, running Mavericks 10.9.3.  Trying to install Win 8.1 x64 Enterprise (from MSDN).
    Downloaded the ISO file and license and used Boot Camp to install the files and Apple Support files to a 16 GB USB 3.0 thumbdrive.
    Used Boot Camp to repartition the 1 TB SSD to set a Windows partion of 256 GB, then the computer rebooted into Windows Setup.
    Came to the drives listing, selected the BOOTCAMP parition (Drive 0, Partition 4, 239 GB) and formated it, then clicked on NEXT.
    Thought for a while, then it came up with this error message:  "We couldn't install Windows in the location you chose.  Please check your media drive.  Here's more info about what happened:  0x80300002"
    Got some hits on Google about issues with VISTA, or with Intel processors, but, nothing specific.
    Checked USB thumb drive with Norton, no issues, CHKDSK, no issues.
    Have repeated the entire process twice, including restoring the patition and recreating it, and rebuilding the USB Thumbdrive.
    Any ideas on what to do?
    Thanks!

    More sadness.  I finally started getting the BSOD as soon as Windows booted, and, I could not restart or shutdown the computer...had to power off.  That, after a few times, corrupted my BootCamp partition.  I messed around with trying to fix, but, no joy.
    Redid the partition, checked all drives for errors (fixed permissions on the Mac HD...LOT of errors), and created a new partition.
    Used USB 2.0 (VERY SLOW) thumbdrive and had all external drives removed, and installed Win 8.1 Pro, not Enterprise this time.
    Got it back up, patched it, configured it, put Norton 360 on it (have on all my computers and iOS devices) shut down, and hooked up the external drives.  Booted up and...got the BSOD.
    This time I had Windows Debugger loaded, and after the BSOD could reboot, go back intoWindows, and Debug.
    Culprit seems to be Norton--in particular a Norton Storage driver.  Will be contacting vendor to fix.

  • How do I connect my new iPod Touch to my Ubuntu laptop?

    Normally I'd just use iTunes, using a windows based machine, but since that particular OS has gone in directions I find undesirable (aka Windows 8's new interface and the 'enhanced' BIOS that restricts the hardware so much you cannot properly use it anymore), I've switched to using Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS 3.2.0-30-generic (32 bit).  Trying to load iTunes via WINE (which makes the laptop pretend to be a windows machine again) is a massive headache...there seems to be no way to make it install properly.  Similarly having issues loading it through VirtualBox (where I actually run all the windows executables in a virtual machine environment).  And since there's no Linux-native version of iTunes around that I can see...
    Is there a way to get the iPod to make itself recognized as a USB file storage device, so I can push my music onto it that way?  Or a way to get iTunes to work in Ubuntu (right now I'd be glad to use a web interface via Firefox, if one existed, that's platform-neutral).
    Sincerely,
    anichols2000 - New Apple User, thanks to Santa Claus

    Leon, no offense... but it obvious that you don't understand what we're talking about... we dont want to use the ipod as a usb drive... just trying to pass the usb connection to the virtual windows.... and i'm trying to help him
    to the problem at hand, since linux can see the device with the lsusb command,  i think its a permissions problem. but first, did you install virtualbox from the website? or from the software center?
    if from the software center.... purge it... and download the .deb from the website:
    sudo apt-get purge virtualbox
    (or i think it may be virtualbox-ose)
    did you add yourself to the vboxusers group as instructed?
    sudo usermod -a -G vboxusers anichols2000
    of course you would replace anichols2000 with your linux username and make sure its a capital "-G" and reboot the system for changes to take effect. if that doesnt work...trying adding yourself to a couple more groups.. im guessing...
    sudo usermod -a -G disks anichols2000
    sudo usermod -a -G plugdev anichols2000
    side note: im not happy with Ubuntu 12.04, the they took out some very useful gui tools such as "users and groups" and "Synaptic package manager". i would suggest re-installing them... you could add yourself to the groups through the "users and groups" gui instead of the commands above if you prefer after installing the gnome system tools...
    sudo apt-get install gnome-system-tools
    sudo apt-get install synaptic
    hope that helps..... good luck

  • Windows 7 and network printing with printers with "built-in" win 7 drivers

    I'm trying to get network printing (i.e. printing to a printer not attached to the
    PC) working.
    This works fine for newer printers that have a specific, new Win-7 64-bit driver
    written for them, but I can't get it to work for any printers (generally older printers) that just
    use a driver that supposedly "comes with" Windows 7.
    The problem is, the Windows 7 "Add a Printer" wizard does not automatically find  the driver
    for these older printers (like the DeskJet 950c or LaserJet 4300n) and so it wants you
    to specify the .inf file for the driver package. This is fine when HP supplies a downloadable
    driver package, but for these older printers, they do not. Instead HP just says "no
    download is needed because the driver is included in the operating system"  and to just
    plug in the printer (via USB or serial cable) and the OS will autodetect it and set up the right
    driver. Unfortunately this plug-and-play solution does not work when you're trying to set up
    a PC to print over the network.
    What can be done? Is there a generic driver package that one can download so as to
    satisfy Windows 7's need for an .inf file?
    Thank you very much,
    -Chris

    When the printer list comes up click on the "Windows Update" box in the lower right.  This will update the list of drivers available and will likely take several minutes.  Once the update has been done the available drivers will show up.

  • Using 4TB WD drives on M58p in Win/7 Pro x64

    After taking advantage of Cyber Monday deals in December, 2013 for Western Digital WD4001FAEX 4 TByte drives, I suddenly was faced with the "32-bit MBR" issue on systems with normal BIOS (not UEFI) like my 7630 and 7483 M58p Small Form Factor PC's.  My goal was to have a slightly less than 2 TByte C: drive with a D: drive partition around the same size starting BELOW "the 2 TByte line."  I read in the forums that this configuration was possible but NONE of these gave a HOW-To process.   I've successfully done this three times on a 7630-B81 and pair of 7483's (an AF2 and a W59) systems, all running licensed Win/7 Pro x64 operating systems.   I started out using the Recovery partition from the 7630-B81 cloned to each Western Digital drive with Acronis True Image Free WD Edition.  This created two partitions on each drive after performing a System Restore and applying genuine unique Microsoft Windows/7 Pro x64 product keys on each drive in each system.  There was a 9.77 GByte Recovery partition, and just under a 2 TByte C: drive.  The rest of the drive was "unallocated".   I applied all appropriate drivers for any new I/O and 170 or so Windows Updates including .NET Framework 4.51 code.  I downloaded XVI32 (free) for a hex editor and the free MBR Wizard Command Line version 2.0b to pull and restore the Master Boot Record (512 bytes).  I also installed the free version of EASUS Partition Master but this was only used to evaluate the number of available sectors in the "new" partition.
       I started the Win/7 Pro DISKMGMT command and decided to shrink the C: drive by 256 MBytes to expose a section of the 4 TByte drive that was below the "2 TByte line."   I created a new volume in that 256 MByte partition using DISKMGMT in order to establish a valid entry in the MBR's Partition Table.   I then used the MBRWiz command with the /save= parameter and provided a filename after the equal sign in order to save the current MBR contents, call it C:\Original.bin file.   Here is the contents of the 4 Partition tables in that file:
    01BE     80 20 21 00 27 FE FF FF 00 08 00 00 00 80 38 01
    01CE     00 FE FF FF 07 FE FF FF 00 88 38 01 00 78 BF FE
    01DE     00 FE FF FF 06 FE FF FF 00 00 F8 FF 00 F8 07 00
    01EE     00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
    The 446 bytes before the address 1BE comprise the Boot program in the MBR.  The last two bytes are 55 AA after the 4th partition table entry (all zeros on this example.).
    I took the last 4 bytes of the 3rd partition (Length Field) and modified them to "extend" the 256 MByte partition to nearly the end of the drive, editting with XVI32.   Here's the new 3rd Partition Table entry:
    01DE    00 FE FF FF  06 FE FF FF 00 00 F8 FF 00 A0 C8 D1
    (When the partition is formatted for NTFS, the byte at 01E2 changes from x'06' to x'07' (NTFS)).
    I then use MBRWiz with the /restore= parameter to load the modified MBR file to the target drive.  If you are doing this to Drive 1, use the /Disk=1 parameter on the MBRWiz command line.  With the new MBR online, I then restart Windows/7 Pro x64.   The new partition of 1718548 MBytes is ready for formatting.  I checked my work with a 4-hour format of the new partition and all of the drives I formatted worked just fine 
    The 4 TByte drive size apparently is the largest drive that this "trick" will work on with the 32-bit MBR.  This trick rely's on the "rule" that the last partition must START below "the 2 TByte line."  I was surprised the number of partitioning tools that I tried would NOT work to create this partition configuration declaring the space was above 2 TBytes.  Acronis True Image has a method to use the "unallocated" space, but it "creates" a Disk 1 out of that space and some applications like SpeedFan 4.49 will "crash" on that configuration.  SpeedFan 4.49 works just fine with the drive configuration created here.
    Disclosure: I am NOT employed by any of the brands mentioned here, but am an IBM Retiree not in anyway affliated with them.

    Unfortunately your only solution may be to upgrade all of the AA8 installations. Adobe does not support AA8 on Windows 7, though several have been successful on 32-bit systems. The 64-bit system has been a killer for AA8 from what I have seen. Maybe one person reporting success. You might see if it can run under a compatibility setting. It is also interesting to note that the list you posted only mentions AA8.1, not the 8.3.1 that you indicated at the beginning. That could possibly be the issue. Generally the early releases have not worked with 64-bit systems. If you install the updates (maybe from Help>Updates, or as a download from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows) you will get the systems to run. Do expect potential problems if you continue to work with AA8, but you might be able to work it out. Good luck.

  • Oracle BRM / Win 7 Pro x64 / PIN_ERR_DM_CONNECT_FAILED:26

    Hello all
    I'm trying to install Oracle BRM but when running pin_setup.bat I have the output below.
    I tried on Win 7 Pro x64 and on Windows XP Pro.
    I also tried to see if there were any connection attempt when the errors "pcmdd: bad connect for PCWORK, errno 9" is shown, using Wireshark, but it seems that there is no connection attempt when this message is printed to the output.
    As the error is exactly the same on Win 7 Pro and Win XP Pro, I think that this is not an operating system problem.
    Do you know what I am doing wrong ?
    Thanks

    I have checked the services (in services.msc) and I started the following ones :
    - Portal Base Connection Manager
    - Portal Base Oracle Data Manager
    All other services cannot be started (Error 1067).
    Anyway After starting these 2 services I have launched pin_setup.bat again and now the error is :
    *** Error: Unable to update the Portal Base database.
    Exiting from the install without finishing successfully.
    Please check for errors in C:/BRM/Portal/setup/pin_setup.log
    and then rerun this program.
    In dm_oracle.pinlog There is the following output :

  • A55M-P33 - Win 7 Pro x64 - 8.00GB (3.49 GB usable)

    Hello!
    After a few hours of google searching i've decided to ask for help.
    Search of this forum did yeald one post similar to mine: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=161010.msg1180013
    But there was no solution.
    Problem is very weird.
    Win 7 Pro x64 with 8 GB of RAM but only 3,49 usable.
    Memtest and Ubuntu see's only 3,49 GB, so it's not an OS issue.
    But BIOS detects all 8GB, so it's not a defected module. At least it shouldn't be, it a new rig with no other problems.
    I guess that integrated graphic reserves that memory, but any options regarding this don't have any effect on 3.49 GB usable.
    Although graphic driver in windows says graphic memory is 2GB (see the first pic)
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    There are only two memory slots. Both filled by 4GB Patriot modules.
    I should not open case because is under warranty so i guess i'll contact the store who sold me the computer.
    Wanted to know if that is some kind of feature before i return it to a store.
    Could not believe and thought that Svet was joking when he recomended to check for bent pins (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=161010.msg1180051#msg1180051)
    For all the years that i worked with computers i never saw a CPU with bent pins or any other kind of damage to boot the OS and work "just fine". 
    The only problem that this computer has is it doesn't utilize all the memory.

  • Win 7 Pro x64 will not sign into iCloud

    I am attempting to get iCloud set up on my Win 7 Pro x64 machine, and I am getting the following symptoms:
    - In input my username and password into the control panel and it just sits there and spins.  I end up having to cancel out of it to close the window.  This will spin indefinitely.  I have let it go for upwards of an hour for good measure.
    - I am seeing the following error message in the error logs:

    Any thoughts?
    Thanks!

    I also have a Windows 7x64 installation.
    I had trouble installing the just released iCloud v2.0, specifically getting Photostream to work.  I fixed that by completely removing the v2.0 and re-installing the previous version then reinstalling v2.0 again. 
    Having got Photostream working I am now unable to turn on the Mail/Contacts/Calender merge (with Outlook) because and I quote "The iCloud Panel did not install properly".  My attempts to repair it from the Control Panel didn't work.
    I mention all this here because looking through Autoruns (the Sysinternals utility for examining startup services) I notice that C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Internet Services\ubd.exe is supposed to run at startup but is actualy missing from my system? Are these problems related.
    Oh and what are the chances of getting the new Mail, Contacts and Calender links to run Safari rather that Internet Explorer?

  • Problem to connect HP710c printer to Win 8.1 x64 OS

    Hi, I am aware that mine seems an old problem but I just want to check whether there is an update and solution for my problem. I have an old HP710c which is still working fine on a Win 7 os. I think that this old printer is such a reliable workhorse that it would be a pity to just discard it after so many years of reliable and quality service! I have upgraded my PC and now have a Win 8.1 x64 OS. Moreover, my new motherboard (Asrock Z75 Pro3) as expected, does not have an IEEE1284 parallel port. So I bought an IEEE1284 to USB Printer cable and tried to connect the 710c to my PC. Driver seems to have been found as the 710c device came up in printers folder from Control panel. So some sort of communication must exist. I also opened the 710c Head Cleaning tool and I had a perfect printout from this tool! But when I tried to print a test page, no prints came out.  So question is: Is it technically possible to print from an HP710c printer connected directly via a parallel to USB cable to a motherboard using Win 8.1 x64 OS? And if yes, what is the solution? I very much appreciate an answer to this dilemma. While hoping to have positive feedback, I am fully aware that if what I am asking for is not technically possible, it is useless for me to waste precious time on something that just definetly can't be done. In this case, I would have to think of other options but I just wish to know where I stand. Thanks and good day.  

    Hello Gemini02, Thanks a lot for your feedback. I have tried to use the HP Photosmart PCL3 and the HP Deskjet PCL3 Class Drivers in succession but still have no Test page print. I just have am Error-Printing in Print Queue and all stops there until I switch off the printer and print queue disappears. What is troubling me at this stage is the fact that 'Enable Bidirectional Support' is greyed out under the 'Ports' properties Menu as seen below. Could this be the problem underlying this seemingly communication issue? And one other thing please: the Parallel - USB cable claims to be bi-directional. Do you think it would make a huge difference if I were to try to install a Parallel PCI card straightaway on my PC and use it in the traditional Parallel-Parallel cable? As I do not have one, if you think this option would work, I would have to procure this card. What do you think? Besides all this, on the eve of the Windows 10 free upgrade, I am really at a loss regarding what will happen after the upgrade regarding possible printing matching of my HP 710c to Windows 10. As I am seeing it at the moment, there was a working patch to make the HP710c driver compatible with Windows 7 and this worked fine for me. However a similar elusive patch for HP710c - Win 8.1 compatibility was never out (at least that is what I understood from several HP forum threads on the subject). And the way forward? I hate parting from my printer as I believe it was one of the best success stories from HP but things seem to be getting difficult. So any more help or suggestions would be most welcome. Thanks again and looking forward for your feedback. Best regards.
