Unable to print to network HP 3845 using Windows 7

I have an HP 3845 Color Deskjet connected directly to a machine running Windows 2000 with printer sharing enabled.
All of my Windows XP Laptops have been able to print to this printer over my wireless network. However, I have been unable to get my new laptop running Windows 7 to use this printer.
The Windows 7 laptop could not find the correct driver when I tried to configure it using the wireless connection.
I then connected this printer to my laptop directly using the USB port and the laptop detected and configured the printer correctly for this connection.
I then re-connected the printer to my Win2k box and tried to change the configuration of my Windows 7 box to have the printer accessed via a TCP/IP port. It looks to be configured correctly to me but it never successfully prints a test page.

James,
I'm sorry to hear that you were having the same problem under 9.5. I had recently updated to Adobe Reader 10 under Windows 7 and yesterday my "default printer" simply disappeared from the options on my control panel. I re-installed my printer, but today whenever I would open a PDF document and try to print it, the document would simply close with no further ado. After a bit of trial and error, I ended up uninstalling Adobe Reader 10 and going back to Adobe Reader 9.5. Now everything is working just fine.

[Forum FAQ] "Unable to connect to the server by using Windows PowerShell Remoting" error while installing RDS roles on Server 2012 R2

When you try to install RDS role on server 2012 R2 using standard deployment, this issue may occur (Figure 1).
“Unable to connect to the server by using Windows PowerShell remoting”.
Figure 1: Unable to connect to the server by using Windows PowerShell remoting
First of all, we need to verify the configurations as it suggested:
1. The server must be available by using Windows PowerShell remotely.
2. The server must be joined to a domain.
3. The server must be running at least Windows Server 2012 R2.
4. The currently logged on user must be a member of the local Administrators group on the server.
5. Remote Desktop Services connections must be enabled by using Group Policy.
In addition, we need to check if the “Windows Remote Management “service is running and related firewall exceptions have been created for WinRM listener.
To enabling PowerShell remoting, we can run this PowerShell command as administrator (Figure 2).
Enable-PSRemoting -Force
Figure 2: Enable PowerShell Remoting
However, if issue persists, we need to check whether it has enough memory to work.
By default, remote shell allots only 150 MB of memory. If we have IIS or SharePoint App pool, 150 MB of memory is not sufficient to perform the remoting task. Therefore, we need to increase
the memory via the PowerShell command below:
Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Shell\MaxMemoryPerShellMB 1000
Then, you need to restart the server and the issue should be resolved.
You can get more information regarding Remote Troubleshooting by below link:

i found another possible reason, this solution worked for me:
http://oyvindnilsen.com/solution-for-powershell-remoting-error-it-cannot-determine-the-content-type-of-the-http-response-from-the-destination-computer/
I tried to set up powershell remoting on a server and kept getting this error:
Enter-PSSession : Connecting to remote server failed with the following error message : The WinRM client cann
ot process the request. It cannot determine the content type of the HTTP response from the destination comput
er. The content type is absent or invalid. For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help to
pic.
After a bit of troubleshooting I discovered that the problem was that the authentication packets was to big (over 16k), this will cause WinRM to reject the request. The reason for authentication packets getting too big can be because the user is member of very
many security groups or in my case because of the SidHistory attribute.
The solution was to increase the MaxFieldLength and MaxRequestBytes keys in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\HTTP\Parameters
If the keys does not exists you can create them, be sure to use the DWORD type.
I sat MaxFieldLength to DEC value 40000 and MaxRequestBytes to DEC value 32768 and rebooted the server. Problem solved.

HT203164 Cannot print CD Jewel Case Insert using Windows 7; iTunes print options work fine from Windows XP; using iTunes print option CD Jewel Case Insert with Windows 7 prints jumbled mess?

Cannot print CD Jewel Case Insert using Windows 7. iTunes print options work fine with Windows XP, but attempting to print CD Jewel Case Insert from Windows 7 yields jumbled mess.

I'm having the same issue - when I try to change any print options iTunes freezes and I have to end the process in Task Manager... I was trying to turn off duplex printing and the printer option screen wouldn't take any input. I changed the default printer properties to turn off duplex; iTunes did not reflect the updated preferences. It looks like there is an unknown issue with the printer setup module - guess that doesn't get much use anymore or Q/A should have picked up the issue...

Unable to printer through network

Hi, I am currently unable to print through the wireless network. I set up the printer yesterday, and it printed ok. The printer is a HP Office Jet Pro Preium . When I try to print I get the message "Unable to communicate with printer. Printer unavailable or not connected". The printer says that it is properly connected to the network. Any ideas?

Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I see that you are having trouble installing your HP Photosmart c4580 printer on Mac OS X 10.5.8. And, I am happy to help! I would recommend to try uninstalling the software again, (in case their is still some software partially installed.) Uninstall the Printer Software. And, then try resetting the print system, and verifying and then reinstall the software using this direct link. Hope this helps! “Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.”

Unable to print to network printer // sometimes with port error

I upgraded to Leopard and am now _*unable to print to my network attached*_ *_Lexmark x9350_*. In prefs it shows the printer and driver installed. Once a print job is submitted, it reads printing, but there is no action on the printer. Other times it gives a port error. I tested the printer under OSX 4 and it printed with no problem. I also have a similar problem on the XP partition of this system. Please advise.

I don't think Lexmark has a Leopard driver for this printer yet. This problem was discussed earlier here

Unable to print chinese characters in Smartforms use Zebra printer

Hi,all.
My printer is Zebra ZM400 300dpi,I created a new output device 'TestDevice' and use the Lzeb3 Device type.
In my smartofrms i used the Zebra command to rotated text.Now the smartforms counld not print chinese characters but '#' instead.(style font 'ANDALE_S')
Anyone could help me....
Thanks Advance.
Andy Lee.

Hello Andy,
If you use the device type LZEBU3 with font ANDALE_S, then when you print then the SAP system
send a print control for activating the ANDALE font installed on the printer, and the text should
be outputed over this font.
When you get # during print then this means that the device type or the SAP font don't support
this character(this was the original problem), when you get a "space" then this means that the
font which is used by the printer don't support this character.
I think this can have 2 causes in your case:
1. The SAP system use the print control SF000 when you use ANDALE_S, which contains
the print control ^CI17^F8 in HEX form. This should activate the ANDALE font on your printer.
(You can find this under tr. SE73 -> Printer Fonts -> LZEBU3 -> ANDALE_S)
You should check wheter this is the correct print control. You should find on the printer an option
which list you all installed fonts, and also the print control which can be used for activating it.
Compare this print control from the printer with the above print control from the SAP system.
If you see a differnce then change the print control in the SAP system.(Before you do that please
copy the device type LZEBU3 into customer namespace, don't change the original SAP device type)
2. The font installed on the printer don't support the character which you use. Contact Zebra to confirm this, and ask for a ANDALE font which supports the character.
Best regards,
Norbert

Outlook client in different subnet unable to connect to Exchange 2010 CAS using Windows 2008 R2 NLB multicast mode

Hi all,
need urgent assistance on the following issue
this is my Exchange 2010 setup
2 x CAS/Hub servers with HP network teaming, and load balanced using Windows NLB multicast mode. There are 2 VIPs on the NLB, one for outlook anywhere, one for autodiscover
2 DNS records were created for the 2 VIPs
Clients use Outlook Anywhere (HTTPS) to connect to the CAS servers from external segment via a Palo Alto firewall, which also acts as a layer 3 router
static arp was set on the Palo Alto firewall, with both virtual MACs pointing to the primary virtual MAC used by the NLB.
Observations
1. within same segment - no issue accessing Exchange servers, even when one CAS node is offline
2. external segment (via firewall)
a. when both nodes are up
outlook client able to connect to Exchange CAS VIP on 443, but will disconnect after around 30 seconds. Client will retry and the pattern will repeat
Exchange CAS RPC logs shows client connections and disconnections to the outlook anywhere VIP address
Firewall logs shows allowed traffic from client to the VIPs
unable to complete profile creation
b. with only CAS2 (CAS1 stopped/deleted from NLB cluster)
no issues accessing Exchange servers, creating profiles etc
c. with only CAS1
same behaviour as (a)
reinstalled NLB, but doesn't resolve
deleted CAS1 from NLB cluster, and re-add. issue remain
Q1. is teaming supported? Teaming is currently set to automatic mode, instead of specified Fault Tolerant
Q2. are there additional settings we need to set or verify on the Palo Alto firewall, since the issue only happen to external segment? Thanks!

Yes - I've been scarred with this for many years :(
If it is just CAS 1 that is causing issues, then focus in on that. The support statement for Win 2008 R2 is that NLB is still a 3rd party component and support may ask for it to be disabled.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/278431
Does CAS1 and CAS2 have the same NICs (firmware as well), driver, teaming software, and teaming config?
I also want to ask what the network team did for configuring the switch ports on the servers? This will vary from vendor to vendor - did they do the same config on both?
Cheers,
Rhoderick

Canon Pixma Printing from a Macbook Pro using Windows XP Home machine

Using my windows xp home machine as a print server. I have a Canon MP480 printer
Installed bonjour on the xp machine.
Installed the printer and drivers.
Shared the printer on XP.
Installed the driver on the MacbookPro.
Added the printer using Windows print sharing.
Prints to XP machine so that the print job shows up in the queue on the windows machine.
Printer starts to get ready to print.
It never prints.
This is a common printer because they give it away at the Mac store when you buy a new Macbookpro.

Hello and welcome to Apple Discussions.
Usually when you select to add a Windows shared printer (Add Printer > Windows) you get prompted to enter the Windows user name and password. After entering this information you will then see the printer share name. If you are not getting prompted for account information after selecting the sharing computer then your Mac may have cached or saved a previous account used on Windows. Since you mention Guest for a previous attempt, maybe this is being used by the Mac and if that is now disabled on Windows then this could be a cause. So check your Windows accounts to see if the Guest account is still enabled.
The other thing that you can do is open Keychain Access on the Mac and look at the 'login' keychains. Your details for the connection to the PC could be saved here so you could delete this entry and then try adding the Windows printer share on the Mac again.
Once you do manage to see the printer share there is another matter that you need to be aware of. For some printers, the vendor created printer driver does not work when connecting to a Windows shared printer. For these types of connections you need to use either the Gutenprint or PrintFab driver suite.
Gutenprint is preferred because it is free a version is included with Mac OS X 10.6. The one major issue with Gutenprint is that very new models of printers are often not included with the latest release. In this scenario it is necessary to try to find a compatible model for the respective vendor, but this can use a large amount of ink and paper before achieving a successful result.
So this can force you to use [PrintFab|http://www.printfab.net] and the creators do a very good job of keeping up with new model releases. There is a cost involved with the software (€49) but there is a 30 day trial so you can at least test that it works.

Unable to Print Screen Captivate 3's publish windows (minor)

I know this is minor, but was wondering why I can't use my computer's Print Screen on the advanced publishing windows. I can take a print screen of the main Publish window, but if I click the eLearning output window or the preferences, it won't take a screen shot. Anyone know why or know if I need to do something different? I want to document all our settings for other users in my office.

LOL, love your avatar of the green stop!
What are you using? Plain old Print Screen? Perhaps try using a screen capture application? Perhaps even Captivate itself? Start two sessions and record the second with the first?
Cheers... Rick

When I open a document in Firefox with Adobe Reader 9, I am unable to print it (no problem when using Internet Explorer)

I'm running Windows 7 (64-bit), using Firefox 8.0. When I open a document with Adobe Reader 9, I am unable to do anything with it (print, save, etc.) other than view it. When I use Internet Explorer I don't have this problem.

Not sure what you mean by truncated troubleshooting report, but here's what I copied from "troubleshooting" under "help". My printer is selected as the default printer in Devices and Printers. Also, remember that a document that won't print in Firefox prints fine in Internet Explorer.

Unable to print to HP b209-a using new router

I have a new wireless router Netgear R7000. The printer was originally setup with a computer now longer available. I am now using a HP G71-340US notebook running windowws 7 64 bit. I need to print from the HP notebook wirelessly. I would like your help in getting the computer, router and printer working with each together. I also have an iPad2 that I would like to print from but that is not as critical as the notebook. Thank you in advance for any help.

Hello @dcavana,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I understand you would like to setup your HP Photosmart Plus B209a with your new wireless network. I would love to get you up and running, please follow the steps listed below:
From the front panel of your PS B209a:
Setup Menu > Network > Restore network defaults > YES
Now we can go ahead and run the installation software, please remember you will need a USB cable to do a USB to Wireless configuration, the USB is only needed for the wireless setup and can be unplugged when prompted by the on screen instructions. Click on the link to get started:
Setting Up the Printer for a Wireless Network for the HP Photosmart Plus
Here is a link to the full feature software and drivers, when needed:

HP LJ CP1215 Unable To Print over Network Sharing

I'm having trouble with my CP1215 printing over the network via microsoft sharing. It was working fine and then one day stopped working. I've already removed it and re-installed it on the remote PC with window XP and removed a re-installed the physical connection and the software and drivers on the host PC with Windows XP, as well. The host computer has no trouble printing anything. The remote computer can't even print a test page. When I send a job to the printer from the remote computer it appears in the print queue on the host computer as "Printing" but hangs there for a minute or two and eventually disappears and nothing happens on the printer itself. Firewalls have all been turned off/disabled during tests, as well. Anyone have any ideas?

No one has any ideas on this? From looking around in Google a bit, this seems to be common, but no one has had any answer for it yet.
I just talked to HP. I had to set the cp1215 as the default printer on my wireless laptop for it to print.
As long as it is set to default printer it works fine, but if something else is the default, it goes to the cue and eventually disappears without printing.

Unable to print multiple copies of PDF using reader X with new Windows 7 computer

I recently upgraded to a new Windows 7 computer. Now when I try to print a PDF I can only print one copy. I have checked that my Mopier Mode is enabled and have tried everything I can think of. Why could I print multiple copies with Windows XP but can't with Windows 7?

How does that manifest itself:
you cannot change the number of copies on the Print panel?
you can change the number of copies, but it prints only one?
