Windows 7 and Wireless Printing

We have two xp machines that print fine to a wireless printer through wireless sonicpoints. But when we print through the W7 it only prints half a page and restarts. The printer is completely recognized on W7, I have turned off and on the Windows firewall and made exception. I'm wondering if there is some issue between W7 and the Sonicpoints. The sonicpoints have been recently upgraded on their firmware Any help would be appreciated.

OK, sorry about that.
Do you have a security system firewall that you can disable to test (Norton, McAfee, etc.)?
I assume you can type the printer's IP address into a web browser and "see" it?

Network Magic Pro 5.5 keeps dropping my router and wireless printer ...

...multiple times per day.
WIN 7 Pro 64-bit, SP1
Network Magic 5.5.9195.0-Pure0
Motorola Surfboard model SB6120 Cable modem
Windows Firewall configured by Norton Security Suite 6.2.1.5
Linksys WRT54G2 router ver.1
My problem is as stated in the header. My router needs to have the power cycled multiple times a day because it is dropping my internet access. This problem did not occur until I purchased in installed Network Magic. Also, the wireless printer needs to have the cycle powered almost as often. I've had both the router and wireless printer for more than 2 years and never experienced this problem before installing Network Magic
I manually changed my MTU setting to 1472 from Automatic. This has not helped.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks!

From what I know, the network magic software won't affect your internet connection since it is just a software to use to manage your network. You may want to isolate the problem first. You can try uninstalling the network magic software from your computers and try to observe your connection again.

Windows 7, C6280 and Wireless Printing

I have a C6280 model printer which I previously used with a laptop running Windows Vista. I recently purchased a new laptop that runs Windows 7 and I cannot get my printer software installed on my new laptop. When I try to install it, it displays an error message says that the software is not compatible. I am aware that I am able to download a newer version of the software from the website which should work but this is to print through a wired network. I need to be able to print wirelessly as I did with my old laptop.
Does anyone know if the software that I download from the website will allow me to print wirelessly?? If there is software available on the website that will allow me to print wirelessly, can someone please direct me to it or tell me what keywords you typed in to find it??
Thanks for your help,
Natasha

Please give me the model number or product number of your model to suggest you the correct Windows 7 Wireless Driver.

Notebook using Vista and wireless print server and HP5500 printer problem

Installed std vista local driver for hp5550 printer with usb cable direct to printer. Works ok
Then, disconnected usb copper line to HP labtop and connected it into print server in router (D-link router to HP5500 printer).
Installed wireless network driver in labtop (vista os)(no updated hp driver available for Vista on HP site).
Print jobs just stack up in the que.
Used 192.168.0.1 address (which works fine for my other old win 98 computer).
Driver using the "raw" setting not "LPT"
Print Sharing is enabled.
Any suggestions?
p.s. The wirless system works fine on an old windows 98SE computer using the original 5550 installation disk.

Went back and installed the "Windows 2000 Print Server Software (from D-link Router 824vpn). I assume that this included the USP Shareport program that was recommend in a thread. I can now access router wirelessly. However, wireless print jobs go into que for hp5550, que emptys, but printer does not start up. Copper usb from printer to computer works fine (as separate printer)sta. Using HPdeskjet 5550 (HPA ) printer, port 192.168.0.1, printer name/ip 192.168.0.1, protocal 9100, raw setting, port 9100, LPR and SNMP are both blank. Any suggestions (OS is Vista). No drivers from Dlink or HP for this application. Thanks

HP DeskJet 712c Driver and Wireless Print Server Setup

I have recently purchased a MacBook Pro and am unable to setup my printer to print. Previous to using the MacBook Pro I was using a windows machine without any trouble printing to this printer, however now I can't locate the printer on a list of pre-installed drivers for Mac. I've already checked HP's website and was unable to find any drivers that were for Mac OS. What is a good alternative driver source? Once I do get the driver what would my next steps need to be to set up the wireless print server to work with my mac?
Printer: HP DeskJet 712c
Wireless Print Server: D-Link DP-311P
I would be grateful for guidance to go about this process so that I can use my printer again.
MacBook Pro 2.16GHz Mac OS X (10.4.6)

HP-provided drivers don't support network printing. You'll need to install Foomatic (a PPD interpreter), ESP ghostscript (postscript translator) and the 712c PPD from:
http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/foomatic/
http://www.linuxprinting.org/showprinter.cgi?recnum=HP-DeskJet712C
Then, since we don't have the auto-setup software for OS X, you need to review the print server manual and find out which IP printing protocol to use. The easiest is HP Jetdirect (called TCP/IP raw port printing in many manuals) if it's available, because it doesn't require the device queue name.
Good luck.

Windows 7 and Bonjour--Printer issue--Need Help ASAP, Please!

Okay, add my name to the growing list of people with Windows 7 issues. (Actually, add my wife's name. I have a Mac, and I'm glad I do.)
Anyway--she has a new HP laptop with Windows 7 preloaded. We use Airport Express as a wireless router for our 5 year old HP PSC 1350 all in one printer, requiring the use of Bonjour 1.0.6 on her new laptop to print wirelessly. Except it is only printing about 2/3's of a page and quitting. This also fouls up the printing que, meaning nothing else will print on her unit. (I have not tried printing from the Mac while her HP is AFU.)
How do I rectify this, other than taking her HP back and getting the Mac she'd be happier with?
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated, as she's in school and needs to print a lot of papers.
Doc

There has been no satisfactory answer to this. So, no, my question isn't really answered.
Instead, we bought a new wireless printer, and I removed Bonjour and AirPort from her Windoze 7 unit.
I'm not so thrilled, but she's happy. And if she's happy, it's okay.
I guess.

Problem with Time Capsule and Wireless Printing (Mac+PC Mixed)

I have a time capsule that is the wireless router for the house and my iMac and laptops use the wireless network beautifully. I installed a Dell 1320C color laser printer by connecting it to the usb port on the time capsule. The airport express utility did NOT recognize any USB printer connected to the time capsule. I was however able to wireless print from my iMac by asking the printer utility to find all available printers which it did and then installing the printer drivers (thanks google). So, while i cannot find my printer as being connected to the time capsule through the airport utility, i can find it through the print utility as a connection through bonjour and i can print just fine to it.
Now i installed bonjour on my laptops and found and selected the 1320c just fine. When i try to print through the laptops (pc), nothing happens and the file stays in the print queue.
I am willing to live with the first quirk as I can print wirelessly from the iMac. I however need help to print from the laptops.
Any suggestions?
thank you so much in advance

1) see the printer on my iMAC - what utility do I run etc?
It is connected to your network. Check your printer setup manual on how to set it up. Or go the the Dell website for printer support if you can't find your manual.
2) can i then run bonjour from my windows laptops and see the printer through the network?
Via ethernet, it shouldn't need Bonjour to set up.

HP Officejet H470btw with Windows RT and wireless

Hi,
I am trying to think of a workaround to get my Windows RT to print wirelessly to my HP Officejet H470btw. I have a HP bluetooth USB adapter but not the WIFI one. Even though the printer appears in the Control Panel - Devices and Printers via USB and Bluetooth, I get a message that it's 'not compatible with this version of windows'.
So I take it then that the driver is not available for RT and no matter what print server hardware wireless connectivity workaround I do, even with AIO Sofware, my printer will never been seen by Windows RT ARM tablets.
Am I correct?
Thanks
Lee

Hi LeeJenson,
Wishful thinking on my part I guess
I did a little more digging and found the following information from this document; Supported Printers for Windows 8 and Windows 8.1
Looks like this confirms your original statement.
"So I take it then that the driver is not available for RT and no matter what print server hardware wireless connectivity workaround I do, even with AIO Software, my printer will never been seen by Windows RT ARM tablets.

Windows 7 and network printing with printers with "built-in" win 7 drivers

I'm trying to get network printing (i.e. printing to a printer not attached to the
PC) working.
This works fine for newer printers that have a specific, new Win-7 64-bit driver
written for them, but I can't get it to work for any printers (generally older printers) that just
use a driver that supposedly "comes with" Windows 7.
The problem is, the Windows 7 "Add a Printer" wizard does not automatically find the driver
for these older printers (like the DeskJet 950c or LaserJet 4300n) and so it wants you
to specify the .inf file for the driver package. This is fine when HP supplies a downloadable
driver package, but for these older printers, they do not. Instead HP just says "no
download is needed because the driver is included in the operating system" and to just
plug in the printer (via USB or serial cable) and the OS will autodetect it and set up the right
driver. Unfortunately this plug-and-play solution does not work when you're trying to set up
a PC to print over the network.
What can be done? Is there a generic driver package that one can download so as to
satisfy Windows 7's need for an .inf file?
Thank you very much,
-Chris

When the printer list comes up click on the "Windows Update" box in the lower right. This will update the list of drivers available and will likely take several minutes. Once the update has been done the available drivers will show up.

Last page doesn't print correctly on 2 page 2 copy Windows 8.1 Wireless printing to HP4630

On Windows 8.1, when printing 2 copies of a 2 page document (any application) the last page of the last copy fails to print completely (sometimes half a page) or fails to print at all. It doesn't matter whether I am printing one sided ot two sided.
A blue alert box is displayed on the desktop with the message "Error printing on HP Officejet 4630 series... The printer couldn't print <file name>"
When I monitor the printing ("See what's printing"), the job disappears in the monitor just before the error message shows up. There is no indication in the monitor of any printing problem.
I've looked everywhere and can find no event logs that show this error.
Windows is totally up to date. The latest HP drivers are installed.
All attempts to use the various troubleshooting buttons in windows and the driver discover no problems.
When I print the same exact report in the same way from Windows 7 it doesn't fail.
I've tried it on 2 different 4630s on the same Windows 8.1computer with the same results.
Even though this appears to be a unique problem when printing from Windows 8.1, I need to get help finding out the exact nature of the problem and the error message.

Hi there @FrankCF , and welcome to the HP Forums!
I see you're running into print issues. I would like to help.
Does this issue occur when making a copy from the machine?
I would suggest performing a power reset. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
I would then recommend downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

Windows 8 and Bonjour Printer

All my Windows 7 computers recognize the USB printer connected to my AirPort Extreme via Bonjour, but my new Windows 8 laptop cannot find it. Does anyone has the same issue? Does anyone has a solution? Thanks.

I second to this one.
Instructions fromthat site work without using Bonjour.
You pretty much create a new TCP/IP printer port, enter the AirPort's IP address in, pick a eneric network card, pick a driver for your printer and you're done.

I have just discovered that you don't even need Bonjour to print!
If your printer is plugged in via a USB connection to your Airport then just go to this site and follow these steps.
http://tech.ifelix.net/1004.html
Yes - I know it says it's for XP but I have just done on both a Windows 7 and Windows 8 laptop.
Read carefully and follow the instructions - don't just follow the pictures - and it will work like a dream.
I have never been able to get Bonjour working on Win 8 although it was working on Win 7 until last week when I installed all the lastest updates and then . . . ZILCH! Prints would spool but not print.
This method is quicker for printer too rather than using Bonjour.

Home Sharing Between Mac and PC with Windows Vista and Wireless Ethernet

Hello.
I want to ask if anyone knows what is the problem.
I have Home Sharing Activated in my two computers and File Sharing Activated too.
My MacBook Pro has iTunes 10 and Snow Leopard all updated and my PC has Windows Vista and iTunes 10.
My MacBook Pro is connected to my network wirelessly and my PC is connected by the Ethernet Cable.
Anyone can help?

since you don't describe the problem in detail, see if something here helps:
what you want to see in iTunes is this (view from my MBP's iTunes seeing the library on my Mini)
if you then click on the house icon, it will change to this and the shared library will load. at that point, two buttons will appear in the lower right corner of the iTunes window, being settings and import
now you should be able to import any content from any shared library by selecting the content and clicking on import.
if the icon looks like this , home sharing has not been set up correctly.
in order for home sharing to work
(a) iTunes on all machines must be authorized for the same iTunes store account
(b) all machines must be on the same network
(c) all machines must have access to the internet.
if none of the above makes a difference, try turning home sharing off on all computers, then turning it back on.
these reads will be useful: one and two.
