Printing to DJ 930C from HP Pavilion DV4-1287CL on a wireless home network.

I am having a problem with my DeskJet 930C. It is a fine printer and has worked for many years. It is connected directly to a desktop PC running Win7 (32-bit). I recently acquired an HP Pavilion DV4-1287CL (64-bit) and have attached it to my home network. I thought I'd be able to print remotely from the new portable, but I have not been successful so far.
I downloaded the HP programs designed to troubleshoot printer installation problems, and this did help me to find a driver for the Pavilion. This driver works fine if I connect directly, via USB cable, to the printer. However, if I try to print via the network, it does not work.
I'm wondering if the problem has to do with the fact that my desktop is using 32-bit Win7, while the portable is set up with 64-bit Win7. Is there an incompatibility issue?
For the time being, I will be able to print by connecting the portable directly to the printer, but I would much prefer to be able to work remotely on the portable and send the data via the network to the printer. Is this doable?
Thank you to anyone that can offer help!
Tom.

Hp Officejet Pro 8600 Premium - wireless home network printing from multiple devices

We have a wireless home network with several desk tops, lap tops and tablets using the network for internet access. There is only one printer in the home, our hp Officejet pro 8600 Premium. Right now everyone who has access to the network can print. We want to prevent printing from specific devices while allowing printing from others. How do I password protect the printer so that only certain devices may print? Or alternatively, remotely prevent devices from printing?

Well this is a little tricky. You have a 'home' network so we assume you want everyone to print went they want. If you are talking about 'guest' that come over and use the printer, the best thing is to get a router with a Guest Network which isolates your home network.
That being said there is no 'password' you can put on the printer , however you can add security.
Start/Devices and Printers/ Right click on your printer and select Printer Properties , select the Security Tab. Now you can set security.

How do I print a document from my win 8.1 computer via my home network thru my win 7 computer?

I am trying to print a document from my win 8.1 computer via my home network thru my win 7 computer which has the Deskjet 3054A All-in-one printer connected to it. I can see the printer from my win 8.1 computer and when I send a print command I see the document in the printer que but it does not print. I have not installed the printer drivers on my win 8.1 computer. Do I need to do this?

Hi GeneLund,
I understand you have a Deskjet 3054A printer and are currently unable to print to it from your Windows 8.1 computer. I will certainly do my best to assist you with this.
I just need to ask a few questions to start.
1. Is your printer setup to print wirelessly from your Windows 7 computer?
2. Are you able to print successfully from the Windows 7 computer?
You definitely want to install the drivers for your Deskjet onto your Windows 8.1 computer, and you can do so by going to HP's website (just click the blue Next button and then download the option under Driver - Product Installation Software) and downloading the drivers. If you're printer is on the wireless network you should have no issues, if it's not on the network yet though that needs to be done first and it is done through the software.
Hope this helps, have a great day!

Is it possible to have an HP and Canon wireless printer on the same wireless home network?

I presently have a Canon MP560 printer on my wireless home network. I do not have this printer installed on my computer. I purchased an HP 3520e-All-In-One hoping I could have both on my home network. My os is Windows 7 64bit. I tried to install the HP 3520e, and received the following error message - "Your printer failed to join the wireless network", and said the issue was that MAC address filtering may be enabled on my computer, which it is not. It is disabled. Question: Is there a workaround to have two wireless printers on the same network, and if so, what is it? Thank you so much for your help.

Hi,
I actually have 3 printers from 3 vendors on my home network. I have tested using MAC filter and w/o MAC filter, no problem at all. The MAC filter should be on the router, not from your computer. Have you checked that ? My suggestion: use a computer on the network to connect the printer using USB cable then setup from there. The printer will use EXISTING setup from your computer and you won't need to enter security key.
Regards.

I cannot printany web pages or emails over a wireless home network. My OS is windows 7 and am using an Epson printer. I know I have the home network set up correctly as i can print files over the network.

I cannot print any email or web pages over a wireless home network. I know that I can print my files over this network, just not anything from the web or emails using Firefox. I am using Windows 7 and printing to an Epson.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== when I set up the wireless home network.

The most likely reason for this is that the wrong printer is chosen in the File->Print window.
In Firefox, go to File->Print and click the dropdown box with printer names. Ensure that the correct network printer is selected, then try printing again.

Trying to print from a Windows XP laptop to a Mac Home Network

Help! I have a home wireless network (netgear) using a DSL line. I have an iMac G4 and an iMac G5 cabled to my wireless router and I have an iBook G4 running wirelessly on the network. In addition, I have an Epson C84 cabled to my iMac G4's USB port. All the computers can print flawlessly to the C84 using printer sharing in OS X 10.4.6. My problem is this: I also have a Windows XP laptop that uses this home network for internet access (which it does with no problem) but I want to be able to print to the C84 printer as well from the Windows laptop. I cannot seem to make it work. I have turned on "Windows" and "Printer" Sharing in OS X preferences and I have also tried loading "Bonjour for Windows" from Apple onto my XP laptop but that doesn't work either although it seems to "see" the printer - but gives me a connection error message and won't print.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

I suddenly can't connect to printer on wireless home network.

I have an Officjet Pro L7680 and we just had a new cable company installation in our house. We have 1 desktop and 2 laptops. All three share this printer and we had no problems. Since the install, 1 laptop won't connect to the printer. The cable co. tech support was not able or willing to help, saying it's not their fault. I get a message that the printer is offline, when the other computers have no problem printing.

On the problem computer, go to Control Panel > Printers and delete all instances of the printer.
Next, print a Wireless Network Test from the front of the printer (Network menu). Note the printer's IP address.
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.
2. Click >> Start >> Control panel >> 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.

HP Deskjet F4280 - can print test page but nothing else on new Windows 7 laptop on home network

I hope you can help me. I have an HP Deskjet F4280 set up on my desktop computer running Windows Vista Home Premium 64x. I've also got a home network on a D-Link Wireless N router.
My new laptop is a Toshiba with Windows 7. I can connect to the network no problem and can add the printer (attached to my desktop via USB) and can print the test page. My problem is that I can't print any other documents. When I check the print queue all it says is "spooling" and then after a few seconds the job just disappers from the queue.
I connected the printer directly to the laptop and dowloaded the drivers for Windows 7 and it works fine. I've uninstalled and reinstalled all software on both computers. I've spent hours trying different solutions I've found on this web-site and others...and nothing works! I am very frustrated to say the least.
Is there any way you can help me???

Hi Lisamcgack,
Print sharing is a Microsoft supported application. Since the printer is working on the computers independently. Then this would be an issue between the operating systems. Check out the following Microsoft document on print sharing.

How do I remove personal PC from old business domain to join Windows 7 home network?

I brought my own laptop PC into a business I joined, and they registered the laptop to their domain and upgraded my Windows 7 Home to Ultimate. It was a temp assignment, now I've left the company fo another assignment, but will work from home. I've
upgraded my family PCs to Windows 7 to create a homegroup network, but I can't join this homegroup with my laptop PC, as I'm prevented from doing so while the laptop is apparently still on the domain. How can I remove my laptop from this domain, since
it doesn't apply any more?

Hi,
First of all , I would like to advice you that you must need have an administrator’s permission account of this laptop. If so, You need to leave your laptop from the domain, then you need to change the Network Location to Home Network.

Step 1. Click Start button, then point to Computer.
Step 2. Right-Click Computer, then click Properties.

Step 4. Then hit Change, change the Member of Option to Workgroup, hit OK.
Step 5. You will be prompted the administrator’s account, type it.
Step 6. Then restart your computer.
About how to join a Homegroup, Please kindly refer to the following steps:
Step 1. Make sure a HomeGroup has already been created. One computer on the network must create a HomeGroup, then all the other computers can join in.
Step 2. Make sure you know the HomeGroup password.
Step 3. Click the Start button.
Step 4. Click Control Panel from the Start Menu.
Step 4. In the search box type in homegroup -> now click HomeGroup.

Step 9. Click Finish and you’re done.

I can no longer print to my MX870 from my desktop. The MX870 is on my network, not connected direct

I can still print from my laptop and my wife's computer.
The MX870 is not showing as a printer on my desktop, and when I try to add it, it doesn't show. Even though it shows as a scanner and fax. It works as a scanner, but not as a printer.
I tried reinstalling the software with no luck.

Anyone trying to connect to a Pixma MX### over a network has my sympathy.
This was a toughie.
The Pixma worked fine for Mac and over USB, but threw the error: "Printer Canon Pixma MX882 cannot be contacted over the network." when trying to print over the cabled network.
I got this Pixma MX880 series (MX882 specifically) to connect to Windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit PC's using this method:
1) Install Apple's Bonjour networking protocol which is recognized by many printers including the Pixma. (you may need to install the Pixma driver if you haven't already. You can download it from Canon's drivers pages.)
2) Once installed, launch the Bonjour printer wizard to add the Pixma.
3) In the printer list, right click teh Pixma and open "Printer Properties"
4) In the "Advanced" tab, switch the printer driver to "Pixma MX880 fax printer" drver and click the "Apply" button.
(The fax driver should load)
5) Switch BACK to the "Pixma 880 Printer" driver and click the "Apply" button. Then click "OK"
Try your print job again.
This got the Pixma MX882 working on 5 different Windows boxes in no time by using the special Bonjour port created by the Bonjour Printer wizard (you can ee it in Printer Properties, "Ports" tab), but without the fax driver portion installed, it would not work. Both parts are needed and the driver installer does not appear to add the fax capabilities by default in all circumstances.
This solution may also work for numerous 2nd tier printer brands: Brother, Epson, Kodak that Win 7 struggles to connect to over a network.

HP8600 prints in reverse order from OSX 10.9.5. Connected via wired network.

Its printing back to front. I see how to fix this in Win 7, but there seems to be no option in HP Utilty on the mac; Paper Handling has only 'Tray Lock' and 'Default Tray'.

Pavilion dv4-1287cl - Problem caused by Sigmatel C-Major audio driver

Is anyone aware of a solution to this Vista error message? I've seen the other threads and haven't seen anything that works. The fact that this message pops up everytime I startup or log on is more than a bit annoying. Is HP even working on a solution? It is obviously in their court....

Hello,
I have three laptops, all of which are connected independently and wirelessly to my BT home hub 3. Two of them were already made part of a home wireless network when I was with my last internet provider, but I am now struggling to make the the third laptop part of my network. I would appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance.
Can you connect your laptop to the wireless network from the home hub?

Can I stop Firefox from always opening in Work Offline mode because it's preventing my Macbook from accessing Internet on our wireless home network?

Sorry, I should have said iMac, not Macbook, if it makes a difference. The problem is Firefox 3.6.10 always starts in Work Offline mode, and Internet won't activate unless we restart, sometimes up to five times.
The iMac is on our home wireless network which we had no problems with before using Safari on the Macbook we upgraded from.
Note: I'm posting this query from another computer.

Did you check the network setting?
Sounds that you have set to connect automatically when a connection is not available.
