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.

  • File and printer sharing for Microsoft Networks on Windows server 2008

    Hi Expert,
    I found that the properties of File and printer sharing for Microsoft Networks service disabled after I install the windows server 2008 64bits. I tried to install that service via adding the file and printer sharing services in the properties of local area connection, but it doesn't contain any service in the popup box.  Also, no such service file available in the disk when I tried to install the service from installation disk of windows server 2008 64bits. Is the file "sacsrv.dll" corresponding to the service name of file and printer sharing? I found it is in the directory of "Windows\system32".  I have no idea about where is the problem? Do I miss some components? Please tell me what can I do for it? Thanks!
    Best Wishes,

    Do any experts know the reason of this problem?  Thanks!

    Dear everybody,
    I meet a problem with my System now, and I need your help!!!
    As mentioned in title, I need uncheck on File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks by Command for Security purpose.
    Could you show me the way to do it by command line
    I think GPO can solve this but My Boss want to do it by command line
    Thanks for your help!!!

    netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="Network Discovery" new enable=Yes

    To disable these functions in Windows, use the same command and replace 'Yes' to 'No' in the above commands.

  • Script to disable Client for Microsoft Networks and File and Print Sharing for Microsoft Networks

    Hi, I am trying to find a way of using a batch file or vbscript to disable Client for Microsoft Networks and File and Print Sharing for Microsoft Networks on a Network Interface Controller.
    I've done some searching on the internet and I can see some suggestions to locate the Setting ID of the NIC and then remove the value from the "Bind" string under "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Linkage" and "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Linkage"
    I tried this but it didn't seem to uncheck itself from the NIC properties under NCPA.cpl
    Can someone help me?

  • X301 "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks" removed at re booting (XP SP-3)

    Even if I run the “Network Identification Wizard” (under System properties/Computer Name) to join a Workgroup, the box ‘File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks’ remains unchecked.  If I ticked it manually, it remains checked for the current session, but it is unchecked at booting.
    The same occurs with the Windows Firewall (I am running that from Symantec). I switch the Windows Firewall off, but after rebooting, it appears selected again!.
    This happens only with my brand new ThinkPad X301, which came with Vista. The package included a kit to convert to XP, but this installed a ‘naked’ XP, which required downloading from Lenovo and Windows about 1Gb of files (bad service, Lenovo guys!).
    I wonder which “safety” issue of the X301 causes this, but how can I stop this happening? (It does not occur with any of my two old ThinkPads, also running XP SP-3 and Lenovo software).
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    See -> http://www.vistax64.com/vista-networking-sharing/72537-file-printer-sharing-turned-off-reboot.html  Here is the text. Re: File and Printer sharing turned off on reboot
    I FOUND MY SOLUTION!!!
    In my case, it was in Lenovo's "ThinkVantage Access Connections" applet. It
    is additional security that is applied at the CONNECTION level.
    Here is how I fixed it:
    1. Double click on the ThinkVantage Access Connections applet in the
    notification area.
    2. Click on the MANAGE button on the toolbar
    3. Select the SSID where you want File Sharing to work, and click EDIT
    4. Click on the ADDITIONAL SETTINGS tab
    5. Next to "Network Security", click the SETTINGS button
    6. The first option in Security Settings is "Disable file and printer
    sharing". UNCHECK this box. Click OK for 3 levels of dialog boxes, then
    close Access Connections
    Although these directions are specific to ThinkPad notebooks, the same
    principle may apply for other manufacturers' connection managers.
    Best of luck!

  • File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks is missing

    I have a Server 2012 Hyper-V VM that is missing the File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks. When I try to Install the service it is not listed. The only service listed is Windows Network Virtualization Filter driver. I have the install media but
    I don't know where the driver would be located. I'm hoping someone can tell me where it is located.
    Update:
    I am trying to run Enable-NetAdapterBinding -Name Ethernet -ComponentID ms_server but it's not working and it's giving me this error.

    Ok, fixed it, I found the netserv.inf file in c:\windows\inf and tried to use it to reinstall File and Printer Sharing. However File and Printer Sharing was not listed. I copied the netserv.inf file from another Server 2012 VM and was able to install File
    and Printer Sharing using the copied NetServ.inf. After rebooting the server I was able to access network shares on the server.

  • Printer sharing problem: printer not found by other Macs over network

    We have 2 iMacs and 1 PowerBook, all connected to network through a Belkin router. One of the iMacs has an Epson Stylus hardwired (USB) to it. Printer sharing is ON. In the past, the other two Macs found the printer over the network and printed fine. Recently, they can no longer find the Epson over the network, indeed, when we try to "add printer" in their Printer Utilities, they no longer find any printer at all. Why did it use to work and then stop for no apparent reason, no changes were made (except for occasional need to restart the router if we lost our connection)? What are we missing?

    As you suggested, I repaired permissions in all my Macs. That helped; the other Macs could find the shared printer. Then later on I needed to shut off both the host iMac and the printer. When I turned them back on, once again the other 2 Macs couldn't find the printer?! Since I had just repaired permissions earlier in the day I didn't think it could be that again. Then, I printed one page from the hardwired host iMac, and voila!, right after that page printed the other two Macs could spot the shared printer over the network again. I'm glad they came back online, but wish I knew what the heck was going on?! Why would printing one page from the host bring the others back, and did the earlier repair of permissions really have anything to do with it??

  • File and Printer Sharing Problem with WRT54G

    I am currently having problems sharing files over my network. My setup consists of:
    3 laptops (wireless)
    1 desktop (wired)
    WRT54G V6.0 router with firmware version 1.00.9.
    All of the computers have File and Printer Sharing enabled, unique names, and are on the same workgroup. However none of the computers can see one another. When I try to view workgroup computers for my network places, the explorer window stops responding for about 30 sec. and then spits out a dialog with the error:
    "Workgroup is not accessable. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.
    The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available."
    I think that this problem has something to do with the router, as I have been successfuly sharing files and a printer with these settings using a microsoft 802.11b router for over a year. After purchasing the linksys and swapping it out with my old router, filesharing no longer functions.
    I have spent a little time browsing the forums and have seen other posts from people with simmiler problems, but was unable to find any solutions.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I'm having the same problems as you are, I have 2 computers on wired the other wireless the router is in between and I can't access from either side, although I can ping and remote connect but just cannot share files across the network. I have looked all over the forums too and there saying to ditch linksys and do something else.
    Its not you thats caused this it is the firmware and the router that have the problems.
    My Specs:
    WRT-54G
    v5.0
    That new firmware update 1.00.9 just isn't working right. I might downgrade my fireware to fix this problem.

    Hi Chamath,
    I assume your XP machine is 32bit (most are)? Here are a couple guides that may help:

  • Printer Sharing Problem

    I just installed NM on 4 comps.  1 XP, 1 Vista, and 2 Windows 7.  Everything works as of now except for the printer attached to Vista will not work on XP comp.  As of now it says it needs to search for .INF file?.....Of course this is the one computer i really need to be able to access the printer.  I would love any and all help on this matter.  Thanks in advance. 
    Adam

    I had the same problem after purchasing a WIN 7 laptop. The printer (HP PSC 1210) is connected to an XP desktop, we have an XP laptop, 2 Vista laptops, and the new WIN 7. Everyting worked beautifully until I tried to print from the WIN 7. It kept searching for an INF file. When I tried to download drivers from the HP site for WIN 7, it said those drivers were already available on my laptop. I finally downloaded the XP drivers, and when cautioned that the files already existed, I clicked overwrite. After rebooting my computer, Network Magic found the printer right away and all is well.

  • HP Printer sharing problem

    I have a 27" iMac (iMac12,2) running ML 10.8.3 with an HP P1006 laserjet printer direct-connected to it.  The iMac is on a network with a MacMini running SL 10.6.8, a MacBook Pro running 10.6.8, and an old G5 PowerMac running 10.4.11.  I have the printer set up to be shared and I can print to it from the MacMini.  The MacBook sees the printer but it won't print to it.  The G5 doesn't even see the printer.
    The iMac is new in the system and I'm just setting it up.  The printer was originally connected to the G5 and all 4 computers would print to it that way.  I moved the printer connection to the iMac because I want to take the G5 out of service.  If I re-locate the printer connection to the MacMini, the Mini and the iMac can still print to it, but the situation is the same for the MacBook and the G5 - the MacBook sees it but won't print, the G5 doesn't see it.
    All four computers are hard-wired to the network, no wireless base stations in the way.  I've got all of the latest drivers I could find for all four machines.  I could (possibly) understand the issue with the G5 since it's still running Tiger but I can't make any sense out of the failure for the MacBook to print since the set-up is identical to that of the Mini.
    Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions?

    Hi there, I just wanted to let you know what has happened with my printer since.
    I called hp, and they said that because the printer didn't have some sort of extended care plan, that they would charge me $45 or I could call Apple. They said specifically that it was Apple's problem (yeah right).
    Talked to the most friendly techies ever, and they spent hours on the phone with me trying a bunch of different ideas. Apparently, from what we can figure out, hp simply stopped updating the drivers. When I did try to download the 1022 driver from the website again, it downloads, says its installing, but never actually functions and just disappears. So after everything, even trying the original install cd, we determined that we just can't get it to work.
    One interesting thing though:
    The printer is plugged into my imac, and I was trying to print to it (using printer sharing) from my macmini, macbook, or macbook pro. None worked.
    But, if I plugged in the printer to any other one of those computers via usb and tried to print wirelessly from the imac, it worked perfectly!
    Hope things work out for you!

  • File Sharing & Printer Sharing Problem

    I have an Intel Duo Core 20" and an older G4 Flat Panel iMac. Both were connected to my old airport extreme with few or no problems. File sharing, printer sharing etc. worked great with virtually no delays.
    I recently purchased and installed the new Airport Extreme. Both computers connect to the network created with no problem, ie: the internet, however when I try to connect from the Duo Core to the G4 via the network for file sharing,or printer sharing, my Duo Core freezes. The file sharing settings for both computers are set appropriately as before. I have shut off file sharing for both, restarted, then turned on file sharing on both but the issue continues.
    Any suggestions? I'm pretty 'Apple Savy' but not a 'genious'.

    Sorry..one other note that may help in narrowing this down. When I go to print, the printer that is connected to the G4, shows up on the 'shared printers' list, however, it just never connects when selected. Just the 'beach ball of death'.

  • OSX 10.6.8 Printer Sharing Problem

    Ok, I have the weirdest problem when trying to share a printer across the network.  I did just upgrade my iMac (20") to Snow Leopard and have run Software Update until no more suggestions come up.  My iMac has the 2.16 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 1 GB of RAM.
    Here's the deal, I have a network and everything else is working fine.  When I attempt to share my printer I enable printer sharing as directed, check the box by the printer I want to share (there is only one) and then, 5-10 seconds later the printer un-selects itself so it's no longer shared on the network.
    I also go to Open Print Preferences and check the box next to Share this printer on the network and the same thing happens.  The box clears all by itself in 5-10 seconds.
    I've re-downloaded the HP print drivers (HP F4440 printer), reset the printing system and nothing helps.
    Any ideas?
    I do have more RAM on order and once it's installed I will upgrade to Lion.
    Thanks,

    Message Edited by bartman_60042 on 11-13-2007 05:47 AM

    Oops...somehow submitted without any text.
    My set-up: Linksys Cable Modem with Linksys Wireless Router.  2 Desktop Computers (Black and Grey) and 1 Laptop.  Windows XP SP2 with all current upgrades on each.
    While setting up File and Printer Sharing, I have the following:
    1) The Black computer can file/printer share from both the Grey computer and Laptop.
    2) The Grey computer can only file/printer share from the Laptop; not from the Black computer.
    3) The Laptop can only file/printer share from the Grey computer; not from the Black computer.
    All 3 computers were configured the same as far as I can tell.  The only difference I notice is that the Black computer boots without the XP 'login' screen (no password required), could this be causing the problem?  If this is the issue, how would I change the settings to 'login' to the Black computer?  Any thing else which may be wrong?
