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:

My new Macbook won't connect to my wifi network - it keeps saying "password incorrect" - but I've tested it on my phone and works fine, I've checked the password I enter is correct digit for digit - what could the problem be?

My new Macbook won't connect to my wifi network - it keeps saying "password incorrect" - but I've tested it on my phone and works fine, I've checked the password I enter is correct digit for digit - what could the problem be?

you need to open the keychain access located in your utilities folder in the applications and once in the keychain on the left side click on the words system at the top and in the lower section click on passwords
next look in the striped area for any passwords that say airport network password next to kind and highlight those and hit delete on the keyboard to remove them from the keychain.
once you remove all of these airport passwords, quit the keychain
turn wifi off then back on, select your wifi network from the list and enter the password telling it to save to keychain this should resolve your issue!

Remote laptop won't print to new HP4622 wireless printer

My new HP 4622 won't print from wife's laptop (Compaq Presario CQ-60-224NR w/ Windows Vista) in another part of the house on my home Centurylink DSL network with very good connectivity. I have the printer installed at my desktop (Gateway Microsoft XP SP3) and it prints fine from the desktop. Does the printer software also need to be installed on the laptop? I sent a .jpg file to the printer from the laptop and it printed one line of unicode? code per page until I cancelled the job from the print queue. I have gone thru the installation guide a couple of times and nothing is fixed. Test results say that everything passed and install is successful. I downloaded and tried the print doctor wizard and it says no problems found. I have McAfee total protection running, could there be a firewall problem? I'm not sure about enabling ports or that sort of thing. I dumped a perfectly good Lexmark X7170 all-in-one because it wasn't wireless and we couldn't get it configured to print peer-to-peer. Now I have a new wireless printer and con't get to print remotely either. Hope you can help. Let me know if you need more info. Thanks.

Hi Ken,
I would recommend giving the printer a static IP address for the wireless connection (not USB):
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you do not know the range, change the last set of numbers (those after the last '.') to 250
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway.
- Enter 8.8.8.8 for the first DNS and 8.8.4.4 for the second DNS. This is Google DNS. You can choose another external DNS if you wish.
- Click 'Apply'.
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
After this you will have delete and re-add the printer on your computer. Do it this way:
0. Go to Start > Control Panel > Devices & Printers and delete all instances of the printer.
1. Make sure the printer is turned on and connected to your network. Verify that you can access the printer's internal web page by browsing to its IP address before continuing. Get its IP from a Network Test printed from the front panel of the printer.
2. Click >> Start >> Control panel >> Devices & Printers.
3. Click the Add a printer
4. Select Local printer
5. Select Create a new port and select Standard TCP/IP Port and click Next button.
6. Under Device type, select TCP/IP Device. Under Hostname or IP address, enter the printer's IP address. Click Next.
7. Select Hewlett-Packard from the list of manufacturers and select and select your printer model. Click Next.
If your printer model was not listed, then select Have Disk, browse the HP CD that came with your printer and select the first file that starts with hp and ends with inf. Click Open then OK. Select your printer model. Click Next.
8. If you are asked, use the currently installed driver.
9. It will ask for the Printer name -- enter a new name or use the existing one. This will be the name of the printer that you select from other applications.
10. You may be asked to share the printer. Choose NO.
11. The Print Test Page box appears. Go ahead and print it.
12. Click Finish.
If you're still experiencing issues try changing the channel on your router to 11 and the encyption to WPA.

I transferred my iTunes library/songs to new windows laptop; new laptop won't sync with iPod classic anymore - should I just overwrite iPod contents?

Need help syncing new laptop/iTunes with existing iPod

Carolyn - thanks, but I had already authorized my new laptop. When I try to Sync, essentially nothing happens - for about a second iTunes says it's synchronizing my iPod, which it recognizes as mine, but then the iPod immediately says it's ready to disconnect. The iPod has about 65 gigabytes of songs on it and for several years, with my old, original laptop, when I synced, iTunes would update any new downloads and playlists onto the iPod. Since I got the new laptop, I have about 2-3 GB of new music on it and a few new playlists and they won't update to my iPod. I hate to have to "restore" the iPod, which I think overwrites everything on the iPod and would likely take 3-4 hours at the 1 song per second figure I've seen quoted, but if that's the only way to do it, I guess I can. Any other suggestions?

PLEASE HELP! New laptop won't recognise iPod.(Malfunctioned?)

My new laptop and old iPod don't recognise each other. My iPod won't show any sign of life because my laptop refuses to charge it and says that the device has malfunctioned and windows doesn't recognise it. *PLEASE HELP!* many people have asked this question, but have not been answered. I really need some help.:( Thanks to anyone that answers. Charlie.xxx

New laptop won't turn on!

So I was browsing the Internet on my newly purchased hp envy 360 laptop that I've had for less than 2 weeks. I left my laptop sitting on for about 10 mins and when I came back it was shut off. I assumed that perhaps it died so I went to charge it, however what I noticed was that the light that indicates that the laptop was charging was not on. So now my laptop won't charge and won't turn on. It's absolutely dead, nothing lights up or blinks.
It was not in heat, never been dropped, no scratches or liquid spilled on it. So I'm shocked that this would happen. Is there any solution to this?

Try this
Does your laptop run on battery or not
Try any replacement battery you can get or charge the device battery on another laptop , if the device is working
Then it might be the charger failed due to unstable electricity and need to be replaced , or charger input socket is not working
If not, try calling customers service to see if there is possible solution, or the device should go to support center
Hope I helped

Macbook won't connect wirelessly on home network

Hey guys,
I see that a lot of you are having the same issue I am. I have a Macbook that I got the summer of 2008. Up until Thursday, it would connect wirelessly to my E-wire router and network just fine. Then it quit. Later that night, I went up to school for a class, and it connected just fine to the wireless network up there, but will not connect wirelessly to my home network. I have since gotten a new router (Netgear) and reconfigured everything (again), including security and all updates. Airport shows that I am connected to my network, and I can load web pages when I am plugged into the router via ethernet cable (as I am now) but when I try to launch Mozilla or Safari wirelessly, I get the "Server cannot be found" error message.
I am connected to my network, I have tried shutting off Airport and restarting it, as well as quitting my browser and reopening it, and rebooting my Macbook all together. And I also went in and manually entered my IP address, which is what allowed me to connect to the network via ethernet cable in the first place.
Any theories why my Macbook (which is newer) won't connect wirelessly whereas my roommates older Macbook doesn't have any issue connecting wirelessly from right next to me? And I know that it's not an issue of too many people trying to be on the network at once, since it's just the two of us at most, and I'm the only one here right now.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

Is your router a model that supports a/b/g/n? If you turn off N will it work? If your N is setup at 40MHz slots it may not work as well. Can you take your wireless router somewhere else for testing? I assume you might have some issue where you are at with your Mac and that router. When you open Apple Menu/About this Mac/More Info../Network/Airport does it show your network there? From a working machine can you see your Mac from your router web interface? FYI if your router was an Apple product(Airport Express or Airport Extreme/Time Capsule) you could see all your wireless clients via the Airport Utility, even signal strength and connection speed...

New MBP won't print with Wifi HP All-in-one that it cam with from Apple

Hey, all just got a new MBP and the free HP all in one wireless printer.
After installing all the software and drivers I managed to bonjour it through our router or direct through USB.
Same on my iMAc
However, Wifi will hang for a few minutes , then start to print and then finish on the print queue but the page will be half printer etc.. With USB it prints straight away and complete pages.
Is this a bug in the drivers or what?
Thanks all,

iTunes, iPhoto, and Safari all use the same protocol for wireless device finding for shared items as the printer. Bonjour may be holding things up, if other items are attempting to share data over the network.

New mg7120 won't print borderless correctly

Hello -
My Canon Pixma 5200 series printer died so I just purchased an MG7120. I loaded 5x7 cardstock in the upper cartridge (the same stuff I've used for years) and tried to print out a borderless 5x7 card for a client. I used the exact same photoshop settings (high quality, borderless) as I always have sucessfully used.
The new printer is printing with a 1/4 inch white border on the bottom. I tried adjusting the slider on the cartridge, I tried loading only one sheet a time, I tried 'scale to fit media' and NOT using 'scale to fit media'. No matter what I do, it prints with a white border at the bottom and only the bottom.
I also tried re-aligning the print head using the special sheet that came with the printer, but it's still having the same problem. Help please!! I bought this because my other one died and now I still can't print this order... very upsetting. I appreciate any help.

New macbook won't print, via airport, on HP Deskjet 3845

Hello there
I used to have an iBook G4 running Tiger and it printed very well. Now I upgraded to a new aluminum macbook running Leopard 10.5.5. It prints ok when the printer is connected to the usb port. When I try to add the printer via airport express, the system finds the printer with bonjour but doesn't recognize the driver. I selected the driver manually but it doesn't accept it.
I really appreciate any help.
Thanks a lot

Can anybody help me here, please?

MX882 New Printhead won't print PGBK at all ...

I replaced my MX882 printhead with a brand new CANON along with new cartridges. All colors print fine except the PGBK will not print out a thing. I tried reinserting, cleaning, etc. No luck. The printer was printing fine just before the old printhead stopped altogether.
There are no error messages. What should I do? Can anyone help me?
I checked the peel-away strip on the cartridge and it's been properly removed.

Hi tortuga,
Since the cleanings did not resolve the issue, performing a print head alignment on the printer may get the black ink to print. To do this, please follow the steps located at the link below:

If the black ink still does not print after performing the alignment, the printer will require servicing. Please Contact Us for your servicing options.

New black cartriges, very poor page output, new cartridge, won't print black

Purchased 3 pack of XL black (not color) cartridges. First one had very low page output, just died in the middle of ink showing available. Next cartridge had wiggle down the page. Some print would be jogged with the font. Vertical lines looked like bricks jogged. Next cartridge had wiggle but ran till out of ink, almost normal output, new single purchase of cartridge replaced. Went dry this AM purchased another one within an hour and there is no output period from this one.
Very VERY expensive to operate, very low output. Three pack was wasted $'s, threw more than 1/2 away.

The document here has troubleshooting steps that may help resolve black not printing on your Photosmart c309. Be sure to check the vents, if they are blocked the supply will only give about 20-30% of the ink before it fades out when printing. If the above does not resolve the problem the post here may help.
