Sharing Local Windows XP Printers

I have a Linksys Router WRT54G running with a Desktop PC with a PCI Adapter and Windows XP Professional.  I have 2 local printers hooked to this desktop pc.
I also have a notebook with a note book adapter running Windows XP.
How can I get my notebook PC to share and print from the local printers on my desktop PC?
Thanks

Run the file & printer sharing wizard on the desktop and the laptop. That should set everything up as required. If you have a software firewall that may require additional configuration.
Beyond that, I would highly recommend to ask your question at a Microsoft support group. They deal with these kind of issues every day and have MVPs who quickly point you in the right direction if necessary... If both computers have internet connection through the router it is most likely not a router issue.

  • Sharing Windows Files, Printers

    I just graduated to Apple and love it. I have a linksys Wireless router and a functioning Window network. My main Windows PC has all the peripherals and my other boxes share its resources.
    I run encryption on the router and had no problem configuring my IMac and MacBook Pro to access the Internet through the router. I cannot, however, get the computers talking to eachother.
    I have Personal File Sharing and Windows Sharing checked on my IMac; all my PC's are already set up for sharing and work fine. My PC's 'see' the IMac, but can't connect to it. The IMac cannot see any of my PC's. After I get the IMac to share, I'll tackle the MacBook Pro.
    I've tried following some of the other posts, but don't even know enough about the Apple OS to follow. Any suggestions for things I could try? Is there an easy-to-follow guide somewhere that I could look at? Thanks in advance.
    IMAC   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    What ended up working:
    - Opened "My Network Places"
    - Clicked "Folders" so I had the folder list in the left window and their contents in the right
    - expanded "Microsoft Windows Network" in the left window
    - left-clicked the IMac network. This put my IMac in the right window.
    - right-clicked the name of my IMac in the right window.
    - clicked Explore. This brought up an IMac sign-in window. I signed onto my IMac and had access to everything.
    - I later mapped it as a Network Drive.
    iFelix: I actually got this going yesterday morning and tried to update this post, but the discussion forum was not available. I saw your post this morning and went to your link. I appreciate all the work you put into your reply. Do you know if your method has some long-term benefits that mine doesn't?

  • HP All-in-One 2355 Shared from Windows PC - Cannot print from any Mac

    Hi all!
    I have a HP All-in-One 2355 printer. It is installed correctly on my Mac, and when I try to use it connected by USB, works fine.
    But the printer is all the time conected to a PC, where is installed to. The PC runs Windows XP, at is in the same Wireless network as my MacBook Pro. The printer is "shared" on this PC.
    When I search the HP 2355 with my MacBook throught wireless, I can find it. I see it if I going to Preferences Settings, Printers, Windows, Workgroup... Then I can add the printer, but I can't select any driver to asign, because the driver for HP All-in-One 2350 series don't appear.
    What can I do? I contacted with HP, but they tell me that they don't support sharing between Windows and Mac.
    Please, Help me!

    Install this three-part driver:

  • File Sharing With Windows

    Right this is annoying the **** out of me. I've enabled everything I should on my Mac to get it sharing with windows. I'm convinced I've broke my OSX, but there's clearly something I've missed which is stopping this from working that maybes someone else can see! So here we go
    Gone to system preferences, sharing
    -> Ticked file sharing
    -> Ticked share files over SMB
    -> Ticked my user
    -> Added what I want to share and gave permission to everyone as read/write for public folder.
    -> Gone to network preferences and setup the WINS server to the same group as my windows PC
    Just got the standard apple firewall running on my mac. I've tried disabling this and letting anything through.
    The problem im having is my windows laptop cant see my mac quite often. Sometimes it can, and when it can see my mac it only displays shared printers rather than any of my shared folders. The problem here is that I dont have any printers on my mac, and printer sharing is not enabled.
    Any idea why this isnt working? I've disabled windows firewall/any other firewall on my windows laptop. My windows laptop can happily access the FTP and HTTP on my Mac. Just has issues file sharing.
    I actually had this working a while ago for a day, then it's never worked since. I cant for the **** of it figure out why. I've gone through loads of tutorials to see if i've missed things. Some things have even told me to change a registry file in windows, which I've done to no success.
    Cheers in advance!

  • File Sharing between Windows PC and MacBook Pro using Internet Sharing

    I have a MacBook Pro and a Dell Latitude D820 running Windows XP SP2 and I want to connect both using any of these two options. I do not have a wireless router and I use Sprint 3G data card to access internet.
    1) I access the internet using a EVDO data card on my MAC and use Internet sharing to access the internet on my Dell laptop. How do I access the files on my PC from my MAC?
    2) I can have two EVDO data cards to access the MAC and PC independently. How can I setup file sharing between Windows laptop and MAC?

  • SAP Script: Barcode printing in "Local windows printer"

    Hi All,
    In SAP Script, I have used Barcode format to print a Number.
    When I issue the Print output by selecting the Configured SAP network printer, The barcodes are properly printed.
    but When i select the "Local windows printer" (which has barcode printing facility) option i.e Device type: SAPWIN, the Barcodes are not getting printed.
    I have Specified that Network printer as my Default Windows printer, but still when we give "Local printer" the Barcodes does not print.
    But for the same network printer when i select it from the List of SAP printers, the barcodes are printed.
    Please suggest why barcodes are not getting printed when we give "local windows printer" as the Print device.
    Does the same issue also happens for Smart forms?
    Midhun.

    Hi,
    You will need to install a barcode dll to you SAPlpd to be able to print barcodes in this way.  There are a number of software providers for barcode dlls, you can find these by searching google (or similar) with SAP barcode dll.
    Regards,
    Nick

  • Unable to connect to HP PSC1510 shared at Windows XP

    As the title suggests I've got a HP PSC1510 All-in-one printer attached by USB to a Windows XP Pro SP2 machine. The printer has been shared in Windows.
    I've tried following various articles on the Apple Support site, but nothing seems to work. I can't locate the printer on the network, and as a result I can't connect to it.
    Is there some trick that I am overlooking? Any help would be very welcome.

    There are two issues here - connection protocol and driver. For driver, look up your model here and install the recommended driver:
    http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/macosx
    (You need a CUPS driver because HP's driver was written for USB only)

  • Connect Mac OS 10.6 to canon ip3600 shared on windows XP home

    I am trying to connect my Mac OS 10.6 to a canon ip3600 printer shared on windows XP home. I have read dozens of posts on this topic and tried dozens of solutions. Although the Mac will identify the printer and apparently connect, when I print nothing comes out of the printer. During my reading around the topic, I have come to the conclusion that my printer has a particularly troubled relationship with Macs. If there is anyone out there who has chosen the same configuration of products I would be extremely pleased to hear how they eventually established printing to the shared printer.

    Unfortunately it is not possible to use the Canon MF series from a Mac when the printer is being shared by Windows. This is due to limitations of Canon's UFR2 driver for OS X.
    But if your wireless router has an Ethernet port then you would be able to print from the Mac and from Windows if the MF4680 Ethernet port was connected to the Ethernet port of the wireless router. All the printer will require is an IP address, which the router can assign automatically (DHCP). If your wireless router does have an Ethernet port and you need information on how to set the MF4680 to DHCP then please reply.

  • Networking ~ File Sharing With Windows Vista

    Alright, I've browsed enough of the web and I've tried a lot to try and resolve this issue, but none of it has worked at all for me. Here's my scenario about as specific as it gets:
    I have a home private network consisting of two Windows Vista PCs, a HP Photosmart Printer, a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.9.1, and an iPhone 5 running iOS 7.0.4. The network is routed through a Medialink MWN-WAPR300N router connected to a Time Warner Cable modem which goes to the Internet. My primary PC, the MacBook Pro, and the iPhone 5 all connect wirelessly; the other PC and printer connects via Ethernet. All devices connect to the Internet flawlessly, and they are all assigned a static LAN IP address through the router because I portforward to one of my PCs, and the router requires it. The network was originally configured using one of the PCs as a Private network under the default workgroup, "WORKGROUP". Everything else router-specific is automatic.
    Here's the problem: My MacBook and my primary PC do not communicate over the network at all. Both the MacBook and my primary PC can file share with the other PC connected via Ethernet, and they can both print just fine. After using LAN Scan v1.02 by Nutec Apps, LLC on my iPhone however, neither my primary PC nor the MacBook Pro shows up on the list of LAN devices. But that's not all, the MacBook Pro always recognizes the other PC via Ethernet in Finder, and the MacBook Pro can be found in both PC's Network list. However, when I try to connect to it via my primary PC, it says that "[My MacBook] is not a valid host name." What?
    To futher satisfy my curious mind, I set up a small Peer-to-Peer network between my primary PC and the MacBook Pro via Ethernet. Both devices instantly recognized each other and connected without any issues. I was able to transfer files at approximately 100mb/s and I was stoked. I then disconnected and tried to transfer over the network again, and there was nothing there. I have even done ping tests over the network to the MacBook Pro's LAN IP address, and it came back with no response.
    I've restarted both computers numerous times, played around with file sharing settings, set appropriate sharing permissions, disabled firewalls, enabled sharing for Windows on the MacBook Pro, enabled file sharing on the Windows PC, you name it. I'm sure there is a small fix that I may have overlooked, but I cannot figure out what the problem is for the life of me. Because the operation worked via Ethernet, and it's working wireless-to-Ethernet, but not wireless-to-wireless, I have a feeling that the problem is related to one or both of the wireless configurations.
    Thanks in advance for any help provided, if there is anything I missed I will be happy to proivde more details per request. This issues has been bugging me for weeks now and it's time I seeked professional help

    Cav-Mac:~ Drew$
    The section in question is where it says bridge100 because the IP address listed under that section reads 192.168.2.1, as previously suggested. However another IP address is listed above it as 192.168.1.104, which is exactly what it should be as I have it assigned via DHCP in the router. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, because this is driving me crazy.
    PS: I apologize for the confusion. I made a typo in my previous post about my MacBook's LAN IP address. It should be 192.168.1.104, not 103. I can confirm that it is listed as *.104 in my router and it shows *.104 on the above ifconfig. Please ignore the *.103, thanks

  • How to sync Outlook 2010 calendar (on my local windows 7 computer) with my iPhone 5c without  iCloud?

    How to sync Outlook 2010 calendar (on my local windows 7 64 bit computer) with my iPhone 5c without  iCloud?

    You would sync Outlook via iTunes on the computer. Connect the iPhone to the computer, make sure you have the latest version of iTunes running, select the iPhone in iTunes and it will display the Summary page. Select the Info tab, and there you would select what you want to sync calendar and contacts to. Make sure since this is the first time you have done a sync that whichever of the devices is new to the sync process has at least one unique contact/calendar event to get iTunes to prompt you for a merge or replacement. You can see this support document for help in setting up initial syncing. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296

  • How to Save HTML page in Apex application into our local Windows Box

    Hi,
    I am having one HTML page in my Apex Application. I want to download this page into my Local Windows machine. How to do this?
    Thanks
    Yash

    I am having one HTML page in my Apex ApplicationWhat did you mean by this ?
    <li> If you meant an application page, then they are anot stored as html file anywhere as the page that you see is generated at the run time only, however you can can save that run time page , but its of not much use.
    <li> If your intention is to save/backup an apex page, go to the page and export it . This generates a SQL file which you can import into any other apex application and recreate that apex page.
    <li> You can also export the entire application as a single file too.

  • File and Printer sharing on Windows 7 Through Group Policy

    Hi,
    I was wondering how to enable File and Printer sharing on Windows 7 Through Group Policy. I have enabled the policy called: Allow inbound file and printer sharing exception.
    But when I go to advanced sharing settings, it's still turned off.
    Windows Server 2003 AD Domain, and I'm using the Group Policy Manager from my Windows 7 machine to edit the policy.
    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    Based on my knowledge, there is no Group Policy setting for enabling and disabling File and Printer sharing. To do this, you may need to write a script and you can go to our Scripting Forum for help.
    In addition, I would like to share the following with you:
    Enable or Disable File Sharing for a User or Group by Using Group Policy
    Network and Sharing Center Group Policy Settings
    Hope this helps. Thanks.
