Share printer with XP and Vista

I have an HP psc 2110xi connected to a PC running XP. This PC is connected (hardwired) to a Linksys wireless router. Another PC running Vista is connected to the wireless network. I am trying to share the printer with the Vista PC. Is this possible??????I fear it is not but await confirmation from any guru willing to commit him/her self.........

hello,
yes, it is possible since your host computer is the XP. make sure the firewall is turned off. try to ping the computer first with each other to make sure that the computers are communicating well with each other.
go to printers and faxes
right click on the printer driver and click Sharing.
put a check mark on Share this printer.
take note of the share name.
then from your vista computer type \\ xp ip address.
for example, \\192.168.1.100
the printers and faxes window of the XP will show up.
right click on the driver and click Connect.
try to print.
keep me informed please..

  • How to share printer with pc?

    Hello,
    want to share printer with pc. Thinking about print server, something from dlink products, which are cheap enough.
    Are they compatible with mac?
    Are there any other option? (sharing through pc or through mac is not convinient in my opinion).
    Thank you very much in advance.

    A Printer properly connected to WiFi is like another computer workstation on your Network. It should have a FIXED IP address similar to the other devices on you Network but less than xxx.yyy.zzz.254, and it needs to know the WiFi password (so you have to have entered that password into the Printer at some point). When set up correctly, you can Ping it at its IP Address with Network Utility and it will respond in a fraction of a second.
    When you use Add-a-Printer to set up a WiFi-attached Printer, DO NOT use Default Browser. It is an IP Printer, and uses the IP Printer tab and its IP Address to configure. Look in the manual to determine whether it should be IP + Internet Printing Protocol, IP + Line Printer Daemon , or IP + HP Jet Direct Socket.

  • Pdf files print with horizontal and vertical lines

    All of a sudden, today, when I print pdf files, they print with horizontal and vertical lines.  I thaught it was the computer or printer. So I printed from another computer on the network, and printed to a different printer with the same result.  It is not just that one pdf file either, I have tried multiple files.  HELP.  Does anyone have any ideas?

    It is not clear how you are creating the files. It appears that they were created by Distiller from PS files that were created in some way. I also noted that you are using AA8.1.0. You may want to try to update (do all the updates in order) as a possible fix. It may be in the creation process also. Several packages will split large graphics into parts and create the image. I think this is a characteristic of OFFICE 2007 (docx) files - but I am not sure yet. Tell us how you created the files - step by step, including the scan.
    If you have the original documents, why not simply print to the Adobe PDF printer. The result would be smaller and a lot cleaner.

  • Getting static audio with Titanium and Vista x64 at random times

    @Getting static audio with Titanium and Vista x64 at random times$ I have had this card for about 6-8 months and relati'vely no issues.
    I just upgraded to the latest drivers 270006 and now, sometimes after exiting Turbine's Lotro, my audio plays but is very static-y, but it doesn't happen all the time. I had iTunes minimized when playing Lotro and then went to play a song after exiting. I quit iTunes and tried it again and it was ok.
    This also happened in Firefox, a YouTube video had the same static audio.
    It doesn't happen all the time and I do play other games, but I haven't been playing much else right now.
    So right now I don't know if it's a Lotro thing or just the drivers.
    I have a Q9650, single GTX260, Asus P35 board (not SLI), Vista x64, 4GB.

    Carl, do let us know on the Safe Mode test... would be the first thing I'd try with what you've mentioned, but yeah, daisy chained Hubs could possibly play into it.

  • I have 10Gb of photos on my iphone, so can choose only half of it (5Gb) and share it with icloud and leave the rest on my phone storage, or i must share all photos and videos (my whole camera roll)

    I have 10Gb of photos on my iphone, so can choose only half of it (5Gb) and share it with icloud and leave the rest on my phone storage, or i must share all photos and videos (my whole camera roll)

    No.  Your iCloud account only includes your the camera roll photos stored in the backup.  And they can only be accessed by restoring the backup to your phone.  Also, if you delete any photos from your camera roll and continue to back up, the backup that contained the deleted photos would be overwritten by one that doesn't and they would be lost.
    If you want to save some of them and delete them from your phone, import them to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. 
    Another option is to import all of them to your computer and delete them from your phone, then put the ones you want on your phone in a folder and sync them back to your phone by selecting the folder on the photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.  The advantage of this approach is that synced photos are placed in an album called Photo Library, which is not included in the iCloud backup (since they are already backed up on your computer), thereby saving space in your iCloud account (which only backs up camera roll photos).

  • P1006 - networked with XP and VIsta-64 not printing more than 2 pages

    Hello - I have a dilemma with my HP P1006.  I have the printer directly plugged in (USB) with my XP (32bit) PC.  I have a Vista-64 PC networked with it.  Both (XP-32 and Vista-64) are plugged in directly to the router (not wireless).  My question is why can I not print more than two pages at a time with items opened on the Vista-64 PC?  I CAN print more than two pages with items opened in the XP-32.
    Things I've done:
    1 - uninstalled everything & reinstalled the latest drivers for the XP-32.
    2 - marked the printer as "sharing" on the XP-32.
    3 - confirmed the printer is marked "enable bidirectional sharing" under the printer properties on the XP-32 PC.
    Things I perplexed about:
    1 - why won't items (docs, webpages, etc.) print more than two pages at a time from the Vista-64 PC?
    2 - is there any reason that I should download a driver for the Vista-64 OS? If so, which PC do I download it to?
    3 - I have another printer (Lexmark inkjet) connected in the same way (except it is a serial port not USB) and it can print more than two pages of a document at one time with no problem from either the XP-32 or Vista-64 PC?  Why?
    Any thoughts on this situation?  Any suggestions are greatly appreciate.
    Thank you - Jane.

    Hi!
    I just get a system message at teh bottom of teh screen saying "output cannot be issued " and it remains on teh same screen . I goto t-code va23 and enter my quotation number and on the top I select sales document ...issue output and select my output type and print preview or prnit , it comes out of that screen into the first screen and at the bottom gives msg "Output cannot be issued". I beleiev its not allowing the smartform to display when there are more than 2 pages , because I tried it with a contact which has 2 pages and it shows output but when I try with the one having more items i.e more than 2 pages it comes out of it . Its a smartform issue and something in the smartform is causing problem I beleive.
    Thanks

  • I have a officejdet 6500 e709n that is compatible with xp and vista, I have windows 7 on my laptop

    HP walked me thru a process so that I could use the wireless printer but now I've moved and I need to go thru this process again because I have a new router and they want to charge me $37.  Can you help me?

    OK, from the front of the printer: Setup > Network > Restore Network Defaults.
    Now, from that same Network menu run the Wireless Setup Wizard.  This will connect your printer to your network.
    Now, on your PC, go to Control Panel > Devices & Printers and delete the printer (highlight it and hit the Delete key on the keyboard).
    Finally, add the new instance 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.
    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.
    Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

  • Share printer with OS 9  - Please HELP!!!

    hi, i bought an epson R220 photo printer to my imac running 10.4.6 and i want to share it with a mac running 9.2.2. The two macs are connected already by ethernet.
    Can anyone tell me how i can do this???
    Any help much appreciated.
    Daniel.

    Unfortunately the USB Printer sharing in OS 9 and the Printer Sharing in OS X are not compatible. Some people are able to successfully use the information in KB 107060, Mac OS X 10.2, 10.3: Sharing a printer with Mac OS 9 computers... but many are not.

  • Problem printing with Lightroom using Vista

    I just recently upgraded my XP system to a Vista 64 bit system. I print
    digital photos using Adobe Lightroom 1.4. With my XP system, I had a
    good match between my calibrated monitor (NEC 2690) and my printer (HP
    B9180) working in the ProPhoto RGB color space using LR. I use ICC profiles (mostly HP Advanced Photo Paper) and let the Lightroom application manage the color. With Vista, I've lost my match. Skin tones look great on my monitor and now print with a red tint. A blue sky prints with a purple cast. I tried Lightroom Beta 2 but no difference. I'm using NEC's SpectraView II calibration software which is 64 bit compatible.
    My workflow is to import the raw file into LR. After initial editing I then external edit the file in CS3 as a TIFF. If I print this TIFF file from CS3, it does match my monitor. If I print this same TIFF file from LR (my preference because of the print templates), skin tones look sunburned. If I export the TIFF file from LR as a JPG and print from CS3, it also matches my monitor. I reviewed my color management settings many times and can't find what's causing this problem.

    I had the 'opposite' problem when I installed Vista 64. I had a perfect match with XP, Samsung SyncMaster 225BW, and B9180 printer. The monitor profile was created using Spyder 2 Pro. With Vista 64 my prints were desaturated. By increasing saturation by about +30 I had a reasonable but still not 'perfect' match.
    I found and installed the Photoshop CS3 patch for the 64bit B9180 driver thinking it might be a solution, but that didn't change anything WRT the printer/monitor match when using Lightroom. I then tried printing from CS3 but had exactly the same mismatch. I then fell back to the first 'old standby', I uninstalled all of the HP printer software and then re-installed the printer software and the Photoshop CS3 patch. Problem solved. YMMV

  • Adobe Creative Cloud - How To Share Files With Clients and Colleagues | Creative Suite Podcast: Designers | Adobe TV

    In this episode of the Adobe Creative Suite Podcast, Terry White shows how to share Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign Files with clients and colleagues and all they'll need is a browser to comment and see your Photoshop Layers.
    http://adobe.ly/10ZjpE4

    Terry,
    I guess I miss something. How can I share a folder of photos? When I return from a shoot, I select 20 of the pictures and need to share them with my client to pick up the favorites. Am I supposed to copy and past an URL for each image separately?
    Sometimes I also work with a colleague, I need to share my favorites with him. Same issue.
    We have tried Adobe Cloud, and then went for Dropbox. There we can share a folder and he can put even his pictures in it as well. That's what I call collaboration. And it is free (unlike Adobe Cloud). If you have some word in Adobe, please tell them to either drop it and make a deal with services like Dropbox, or make it properly.
    Thanks.

  • How to share documents with iCloud and Pages?

    I keep getting reminded to remove everything from iWork, but I don't really understand how to share anything (documents) on iCloud. Am I missing something? (Well, I know I am, but it isn't exactly straightforward to me.)
    Could someone point me to some information about that?
    Thanks.

    You can store iWorks docs on iCloud, but you cannot share them with others.  The old iWorks beta web site let you host files for other remote users to have access to them, and iCloud (at least not now) does not allow that.

  • How do I share printing between mac and Vmware Fusion?

    I am trying to print from mac and from Windows XP installed in a virtual machine via VMWare fusion on my IMac. If I am able to print from Mac then when I switch over to Fusion and try to print it errors stating the the printer is disconnected. If I disconnect the USB and reconnect then it will print. Same with mac if it is printing okay on Fusion and I try to print from mac it acts like it is printing but it is not sent to the printer, if I disconnect the USB and reconnect then it prints. Printer sharing and window sharing is on. Any suggestions?

    I suggest you post your question on the Microsoft Mac Office forums as that's where the Office gurus hang out...

  • HT201077 The photos I have transferred to my PC via Photo Stream are too large for me to share with friends.  How do I reduce the size and how do I share them with friends and family only?

    I have the latest iPad update on my Ipad 3 as of September 23, 2012. 
    I havejust  taken a series of photographs with my iPad that I would like to share with family and specific friends ONLY.  I have set up the photos I want to share in Photo Stream.  I have synced them to my PC via iCloud.  Everything is fine except, the pictures are far too large to share ... and I don't know what exactly I am supposed to do in order to give my family access to these Photo Stream pictures.
    How do I reduce the size of photo stream pictures once they are on my PC via iCloud?
    What exactly do I do to give access to the photos on Photo Stream to specific people?
    How can I share the videos I have taken with my iPad?
    Many thanks for your attention.  I look forward to your reply.

    Select your photo/s.
    File menu > Export..
    Kind: JPEG
    JPEG Quality: Maximum
    Include: [√] Title and keywords
                [√] Location information
    Size: Full Size
    File Name: Use filename
    Select one of the photos and open in with Preview.
    Tools menu > Show Inspector
    Under the second button choose IPTC and it is all there.
    Sorry for all the confusion.

  • Pin names and numbers do not print with black and white printer setup option

    Multisim V12
    Printer HP LaserJet 1320
    File -> Print Options -> Print Sheet Setup, check In black/white, OK
    Then
    File ->  Print Preview, shows all elements of the drawing in black white
    Then  select Print and the drawing prints without pin names and pin numbers.
    The same procedure with the black/white unchecked previews in color and then prints all circuit elements

    Hi HiZTrace,
    I used Multisim 12 with the same configuration and printed with a HP LaserJet 4250, but it seemed to be working well for me. There could be some incompatibility issue with your printer driver. A workaround you can try is to install a PDF Converter and print the file in color, then print the generated PDF file in black and white. There are many PDF Converters available, for example, CutePDF Writer (free)
    Sorry for the inconvenience.
