Trouble installing shared printer on windows 7 64 bit

hey guys
i recently got a IBM thinkpad with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.
we have a HP Laserjet 3015 thats shared on windows xp profesional computer.  i am having trouble installing it on my comuter. if i connect the printer to my computer via USB, windows finds the drivers and it works.
The problem is when ever i try and insatll it over the network it does not work. i can search and find which computer it is attached to and see it in the shared printer list, but when i ever i try to connect to it says connecting>>searching windows update>>cant find drivers. it gives me the option of searching for the drivers to install. i have downloaded the drivers thats on the HP site but they dont help. when ever i select them in the manual it comes with an error saying driver not found then gives u the option of installing it your self. when u select the driver it says windows can not locate a suitable driver.
how can i get around this ??

Try the following:  On the Windows 7 computer go to the Devices and Printers folder, Add a Printer, Local Printer, Create a new port, Local port, Next, \\xpcomputername\lj3015 (where you put in the actual share name of the computer and printer), OK, Windows Update (and wait for the list to repopulate), HP Laserjet 3015 PCL5,  Next, Next.

    Are there any problems with installing Elements 11 on Window 8 - 64 bit?

    Thank you.  I think I;ll take your advice and buy the product.  HOwever like you I really hope Windows 8.1 will solve many of the problems/issues that have been experienced or talked about since its launch!!
    I've selected PSE 11 as I wasnt 'sold' on PSE 12 having recently read the article in the Photoshop magazine.  Although it scored 91% there were still aq couple of megatives.  And only being a beginner I didnt want to run before I can walk!!

  • Trouble installing cs2 upgrade in Windows 7 64 bit

    I have recently bought a new computer and I am transferring programs.  I have deactivated cs2 on my old computer.  I am trying to install it on my new computer with OS windows 7 64 bit.  The CS2 is an upgrade from adobe Photoshop 5.02.  When I try to install the cs2 upgrade it asks for validation of ownership of Photoshop 5.02.  It does not recognize the cd when I put it in the cd player.  I have not been able to install Photoshop 5.02 onto my new computer using the cd (even when I use the compatibility trouble shooter and change settings to xp service pack 2. I have transfered the 5.02 over to my new computer via USB and can even run it.  However, CS2 upgrade will not recognize 5.02 even when I browse to the program folder.  Any other thoughts or suggestions would be very appreciated.

    Find the registry keys for the program on your old machine, export them to a file, import them on the new system. regedit is your friend. Should be in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Adobe somewhere...

  • Trouble installing Oracle Personal in Windows 7 64-bit environment

    Hi, I just purchased Oracle Personal Edition and it does not install.
    Details:
    Hardware: Dell laptop, purchased 6/2011
    OS: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
    CPU: Intel Core i7-2820QM 2.30 GHz, 8 processors
    RAM: 8GB real, 16GB virtual
    Hard drive available space: 119 GB on C: drive, 505 GB on D: drive
    Product purchased: Oracle Personal Edition, 11.2.0.1.0 for Windows x64 (64-bit)
    I originally had an instance of Oracle XE on this machine. I have uninstalled it with Windows Uninstall and followed that up with the following actions in Regedit:
    Deleted the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ORACLE key.
    Deleted HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/Ora*
    Removed directories c:\Oraclexe and c:\Program Files\Oracle
    Rebooted.
    I downloaded the two Oracle server files from the cloud, extracted the zipped directories, copied "2 of 2"'s contents to the "1 of 2"'s directory, and ran setup.exe
    Oracle Installer started up. The first screen asked for my email address and whether I wanted to receive Oracle propaganda by email (no).
    The second screen, Installation Option, asked if I wanted to 1: create and configure a database; 2: install database software only; or 3: upgrade an existing database. I chose option 1.
    The third screen, System Class, asked if I wanted a Desktop Class database or Server Class database. I chose Desktop Class.
    I clicked Next and Oracle Installer shut down without a warning message.
    Does anybody have an idea of how I can install this software?

    Yes, the purpose of this license was just to use Oracle for my own personal use. Downloading a copy of Enterprise Edition from OTN won't solve the problem; it's the same file as the Personal Edition file, and that file doesn't work on my computer. The installer prompts for the type of installation (Personal, Standard, Enterprise) around step 4 or 5 of the install, and I never made it past step 3. The problem is that the installer crashes without leaving any error message, which means I can't fix the problem. I have no way of knowing that the installer couldn't handle my computer configuration, but I do know that my computer exceeds the minimum requirements for an install. Someone at Oracle should consider it a BUG that the installer shuts down without any indication of the reason for the shutdown. I requested a refund not because the product has a bug, but because the installer didn't work. A product that doesn't install is a product that hasn't been delivered to the customer. This is a very, very basic problem that Oracle must fix.

    Hey robr72339266,
    With a single user license, you can install Acrobat on maximum two computers, say, your laptop at work and desktop at office.
    But, you cannot use Acrobat on both the machines simultaneously.
    You will first need to deactivate Acrobat from the old machine, then install and activate the software on the new OS with the same serial key.
    Please Contact | Adobe to seek help on the same.

  • IMac to print to "shared" printer on Windows XP Home

    I have just returned to the Mac world. My first MAC was one of the first MACs ever made (1984) - it's in the basement and it still works.
    I have a new iMac G5. I was able to transfer all the files I wanted from my laptop (Windows XP Home) to my iMac without any problems.
    What I can not do is get the iMac to access the HP DeskJet 932c printer that is connected to my DELL (Windows XP Home). The printer is "shared". My laptop has no problems connecting to the printer.
    When I follow the instructions with the iMac, the iMac finds the DELL computer, I'm able to access (login) to the DELL computer but no printers are listed.
    I suspect it is because it is not really a Windows "workgroup" as the Apple documentation talks about, but a "shared" printer within Windows XP Home.
    I'm sure that there is a solution, after all, this is a MAC!

    Depends on what Mac software you have?
    Currently nothing other than that which ships with the Mac - I have had it for less than a week.
    Also the G5 iMac is pretty well proven technology,
    these are first revision Intel Macs.
    Good point and this is the one potential drawback to the switch.
    Personally I would go for the Intel Mac, as Steve
    Jobs said, it is the same as thew G5 iMac, jsut twice
    as fast!
    I'm going to do this and that's why I'm going to mark my question as answered. Hopefully the next Mac will work with my XP printer!
    Thanks again for all your help.
    Your website for help about the printer is excellent. It is rare to find something as well explained and perfectly documented. I give it a 4+ (I'm a teacher and in our education system we "level" student work - level 4 is the highest level!)

  • Why am i having trouble updating itunes  on my windows 7 (64 bit) computer?

    Why am I having trouble updating itunes on my windows 7 (64 bit) computer?

    Doug
    Thanks for the update.
    nothing is getting installed, copied or otherwise loaded onto my computer....first the program starts to load, then it asks for my serial number, then it goes out and seems to check the serial number then it says it can't be installed then it erases everything it just spent 10 minutes loading.
    In view of the above and your prior descriptions, have you tried alternative installation files?
    If you want to give a look to that approach, please download and install the tryout files for Premiere Elements 9 from the following web site and then insert your purchased serial number into them during installation.
    With this route, you need to carefully carry out the web site's "Note: Very Important Instructions" in order to avoid an Access Denied message.

    Back to my questions from post 3
    Are you getting any Shared Technologies error message any where in the installation process that is failing?
    If you follow the following path, do you find an OOBE Folder?
    Local Disk C
    Program Files (x86)
    Common Files Folder
    Adobe
    and in the Adobe Folder should be the OOBE Folder which you rename from OOBE to OLDOOBE to disable it.
    When you are forced into a roll back for whatever installation has taken place, do you ever see a message about Shared Technologies?
    And, whether or not the program installs to any extent, does your computer have the OOBE Folder? If so, then please rename it to disable it before
    you try for another 9 install.
    Looking forward to your results.
    ATR
    Add On....Please remind me....since you purchased Premiere Elements 9, have you ever installed and used it successfully on any computer?

  • HP Laserjet p2015d auto duplex printing with Windows 7 64 bit operating system

    I have used the HP Laserjet p2015d with Windows 7 32 bit operating system and have been able to use the AUTOMATIC DUPLEX feature of the printer without problems.
    Now, however, I have installed the 64 bit version of Windows 7 operating system and the AUTO DUPLEX does not work and is not shown as being available on the PROPERTIES menu of the printer.
    Is it possible to use the AUTO DUPLEX  feature of  the printer with Windows 7   64 bit  operating system.
    All replies welcomed!   Aaron in Calif.

    Hi Aaron,
    Make sure the Automatic Duplexing option is enabled:
    Enter Control Panel > Devices and Printers.
    Right click the printer icon, then click Printer Properties.
    Click the Device Settings tab.
    Set the Automatic Two-Sided Duplex Accessory as installed and click OK to save the change.
    Now Automatic Duplexing should become available.

  • Unable to Install QTP 10 - in Windows 7 - 64 Bit - Home Premium

    Hi Team,
    While am trying to install QTP 10 in Windows 7, 64 bit Machine an issue is observed, "This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows installer package"

    Regards

    Hi Chirs , sorry for the trouble you are facing. We would like you to be up and running in the language of your choice and not choose the workaround. I have a solution , see if this works for you
    Inside the installer folder [either from dvd or a local folder or a extracted location], you can find a folder called "payloads".
          1) Inside that, you can find some folders with their names starting with "Microsoft_".
          2) Amongst such folders, you should find 3 folders which also end with "_x86_x64".
          3) Go into each of these 3 folders and try running the "msi" files manually by double clicking them. In the options screens, select "modify" and keep clicking next till you finish.
    Before the workaround .. you have uninstall Captivate 5 and after the workaround re-install captivate in German and this should solve.
    if not , I can set up a meeting with you and try and help resolving this issue.
    We deeply appreciate your interest shown towards Captivate 5
    Thanks

  • HT1349 Trying to install latest iTunes for Windows 7 64-bit. Keep getting this error message "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."

    Initially iTunes would not run although it had been running quite well up until now. Suddenly received this error on PC start-up "The program can't start because MSVC80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." Research on Net pointed me to iTunes as the issue. Tried to start iTunes and received that message again. Tried installing latest version of 64-bit iTunes and received the subject message part way through the install: Trying to install latest iTunes for Windows 7 64-bit. Keep getting this error message "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."
    iTunes has been running great on this PC for years. What's up?

  • Install Captivate 4 on Windows 7 64-bit machine with Windows XP mode?

    Hi,
    I have been searching the web to find out the best way/place in which to load Captivate 4 on my Windows 7 64-bit machine. Seems some people have issues with recording, others don't. I have Windows XP mode on my machine.
    My question is... what's the best way to load Captivate 4 on Windows 7 - should I install to Windows 7 and see how it goes. Or should I install under Windows XP mode?
    Thank you!

    Yea it works in XP mode

    Try running Cp4 in WinXp compatibility mode on Win7.  Also make sure
    you're set to Run as Administrator.
    I run Cp4 on Win7 without issues.  But other users report similar problems
    to yourself.  In the end, it may or may not work for you because Adobe has
    never claimed Cp4 was compatible with Vista or Win7 64bit.

  • Does 11.1.1.6 OBIEE simple install work properly on Windows 7 64 bit OS?

    Can anyone confirm if the simple install for 11.1.1.6 simple install works normally on Windows 7 64 bit OS? I have run into a slew of issues including:
    1. hanging on the Create Domain. Stays at 0% for 2 hours and then fails
    2. Pre requisite checks do not work in a stable way (sometimes they fail and need to be ignored and other times they succeed)
    I removed all Oracle software and tried a completely clean install (DB, RCU, OBIEE, etc)..I have my loopback adapter set and also have JDK.
    Do we need to manually do the WLS + Software only to get this to work or does the Simple install actually work on Win 7 64 bit??
    Thanks.

    According to the certification matrix, it should work: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-enterprise-edition/bi-11gr1certmatrix-166168.html
    Check row 72/73 in Current System Certification. Also, what do the logs say about the errors you are facing?

    I've downloaded the 64-bit version downloadable from OTN and able to run the irca.bat on DB 10.2.0.3 however the SOA Installer fails at BPEL Config Assistant step with errors :
