Trying to install a printer that is connected to my iMac to my pc

My Hp wireless printer is connected to my iMac via USB.  I am trying to find the printer using my PC laptop.  Both computers are networked via our router.  When searching for printers on the laptop it isn't finding the printer.

Is the printer sharing preferences enabled?

  • I am having problem with trying to install the printer with wireless connection​.i have windows 7

    the blue light on top of the printer blinks very fast and intermitenly.  i cannot install the printer with wireless.  I tried with the CD that came with the printer but the green install bar just stops and freezes.  I have a 4 month old Dell laptop.  Printer just purchased from HP is Laser Jet Professional P1102w.

    Are there any third party firewalls installed (e.g. Kaspersky, Norton, BitDefender, etc.)?  It sounds like something is blocking the software and third party firewalls have been known to block communication with the printer.
    How far in the installation process do you get (what options are you able to get to)?
    Is the USB cable connected at the start of the installation?  
    Do you receive any errors at all?  If so, what are they?
    Have you tried using Smart Install?  Smart Install works by connecting the USB cable to the computer.  By default, you should get a prompt to run a file.  Running this file starts the Smart Install process.  
    This video is a good guide to Smart Install.

  • How do I get a printer that is connected to my iMac to work with a PC?

    I have an Ethernet cable available. I already connected it and was able to make the Windows PC use my iMac's AirPort internet connection. I also want to set up my HP Photosmart C4280 scanner-copier-printer to work with this PC, but I can't figure it out.
    Can someone please tell me what the easiest way to do this is?
    Thanks.

    When you turn on printer sharing your mac becomes a print server and will advertise the printer using the bonjour protocol.
    So on your pc download and install Bonjour For Windows
    Scanning is not supported however.

  • Install Canon MP470 That is connected to my Windows XP Professional PC

    I have a Canon MP470 printer that is connected to a Windows XP computer on my local network. I can get the printer connected to my Mac by going into Applications, System Preferences, Print & Fax, + Sign, Windows, etc....
    BUT - There is no driver for the Canon MP470 in the list of drivers. So I decided I'd go to Canons website and download the driver on my mac figuring it would then be an option in the list of printer drivers. I downloaded and installed the package & then rebooted my mac. Went back to printers & faxes and tried changing the driver for the MP470 but I still can't find the driver in the list.
    HELP PLEASE!

    Hi Ryan621
    The driver you downloaded may have gone to your User Folder / Library / Printers, try setting up the printer connect straight up to the iMac.

    I am trying to install Kodak printer ESP C310 but it says a firewall is blocking the installation. Can you help?I am using windows XP. I have searched port 5353 and this is enabling Bonjour.

    You could check this article, but it is about Firefox itself not having access.

    Could you provide the exact wording and punctuation of the message, and try Googling that yourself -- when you google leave out unimportant words and punctuations, group words that are still together as in original message within quotes or with hyphens so that google will look for those words together in that order.

  • We just added a new printer and bluetooth connection to our iMac.  Now iTunes does not recognize our iPads as devices.  Have already tried restarting everything.  Any other suggestions?

  • I'm trying to install elements 13 that I purchased online.  It says I have to install akamai downloader first.  I'd prefer not. Is there an alternative?

    I'm trying to install elements 13 that I purchased online  It says I need to install akamai downloader first  I'd prefer not to.  Is there an alternative?

    yes, there's a popup that allows a direct download.  or dl from prodesigntools.com
    if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here:  Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 Direct Download Links, Premiere too | ProDesignTools
    and activate with your serial number.
    if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies. 
    the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com). 
    failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

  • Trying to install new printer Canon imageclass 4880

    Trying to install new printer on Mac Snow Leopard.  Instructions are only for Windows. How do I get started installing the software?

    You'll need to find the drivers. I found the imageclass 4890 OS X 10.6 drivers here, but didn't find 4880 drivers. Check the global Canon web sites.

  • HT1626 I am trying to install a printer and keeps asking me to put in my password. What password?

    I am trying to install a new printer and it keeps asking me for my administrator password! How do I get that password or reset it.

    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Utilities from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access the Menubar at top.

  • Trying to install Accurip printer driver on Windows 8 x64

    Hi there,
    I have a driver for an Epson printer 4880 that I am trying to install on Windows 8 x64. The driver works fine on Windows 8 x32 but will not work on x64. 
    When I select the printer it asks me to point it to the driver location, which I select the .inf file for it and it appears to install. However it takes me back to select the printer and continues to go in that continuous loop.
    I have checked the %windir$\inf\setupapi.devl.og and it appears to quit at Driver package failed signature verification.
    Could somebody provide some help as to how I could get this to work?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Which driver did you use? I checked Epson official site, found this type of printer had Windows x64 driver. Please download and install it for test.

  • Trying to install new printer on another networked computer downstairs. Cannot locate on network .

    I have a computer dopwnstairs on wireless. Wireless Net gear home buisness. I am installing a new printer and it is a wired ethernet cable to main computerwhihc acts as the servier to the one downstairs. I cannot print from the one downstairs any lionger since installing a new all in one office jet 8500 910A in main office wiht ethernet cable connection. Have cheked connections and all OK?

    I don't think this will work. Try connecting it with USB to the server PC. By the way, it will only share printing, not scanning or faxing. Why not install the printer via wireless (or is it a wireless version)?
    Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

    John,
    You may be able to find a Color LaserJet CP1518ni for around that price if you look around. At least here in the states I've found it for $299 and less, although it retails at $399 which is a bit higher then you are looking for. It is the least expensive color laser printer we are currently selling (in the US at least) and it includes PostScript 3 emulation.
    Just trying to help.
