Wireless Networks not available under Manage Default Printers.

I have a client who has 4 offices he travels between. He needs the default printer to change based on the name of the wireless network he connects to. This feature worked for a while, but after some unknown point stopped accepting new networks into the list
under "manage default printer". We changed the SSID of two locations a month ago, and I can not get them to show up in the list under "manage default printer". I went through and removed every listing under the "manage default printer"
list, hoping to start fresh, but after a week, in the dropdown menu, only the old networks are there. 
Bottom line is I need to find out why these new SSID are not showing as an option to select inside of "manage default printers". Or find a way to manually add them. I (believe) have found where they appear to be in the registry, but the values
for network name seem to be encrypted. Is there a file I can edit somewhere to manually add in these entries?
The target networks are remembered and can be managed by windows, and connect automatically. 
This is a Windows 7 Pro laptop. 
Thanks!

Hi,
Based on my research,it may be caused that you have not deleted network locations completely.
Please follow the steps to check the result.
1.open the Network and Sharing Center console in Control Panel.
2.Click on the "Icon" under "View your active networks". This will open the "Set Network Properties" dialogue. Here you can rename a network connection or change the icon for that network connection.
3.Click on "Merge or Delete Network Locations" to see a list of stored network connections. You can delete the old SSID.

  • Manage default printers in Windows 7

    I understand that the manage default printers option is only available in premium editions of Windows 7, but I guess Home PREMIUM is not considered a premium edition because I don't see the option.
    Is there any work around besides manually changing the default every other week? Is there a registry entry that I can set/change?

    This feature is only available in premium editions of Windows 7. It's also only found on laptops and other portable devices that use a battery.
    Take a look at the following links

  • Why is my wireless network not found?

    I have just installed HP Deskjet F4500 on my PC. I want to connect to my wireless network connection but it keeps telling me "wireless network not found". (I am using my wireless so I know that the wireless connection is fine.) I have all correct details (correct network, SSDI, WPE encryption code) for installation but no luck.
    I have a Netgear DG834N router. I did run the www.hp.com/go/networksetup analyser which told me that HP is not currently supporting the router. Can that be right?
    This question was solved.

    OK, let's go check the router's settings:
    Type 192.168.1.1 into a browser.  The login is 'admin' and the password is 'password'.
    On the left side, choose Wireless Settings under the Setup heading.  You should see your SSID.  Make sure the Mode is set to 145Mbps.  Here you can choose your Security Options.  I highly recommend WPA2-PSK (AES).  If you have WEP, please change it.  WEP is not secure.  If you change your security settings, choose a passphrase that is at least 13 characters, numbers and letters, upper and lower case.  You will have to re-enter this into all of your wireless devices.
    Now, lower on the left side, choose Wireless Settings under the Advanced heading.  Make sure that SSID broadcast is checked.
    If you changed anything, check Apply toward the bottom.
    Let me know what you found.

  • Browse in Mini Bridge is not Available under File Menu in Photoshop CC

    Recently installed Bridge CC and Photoshop CC in Windows 7 enviornment. "Browse in Mini Bridge" option is not available under the File menu. I reinstalled Bridge CC, rebooted, yatta yatta, but no Mini Bridge option. Any ideas how to get it to install/come up?
    Thanks!

    Mini Bridge is no longer available, so it's never going to show up again. All Flash-based extension panels were removed from Photoshop, and Mini Bridge was one of them. More info here:

  • HT4623 The software update option is not available under my general tab...now what

    The software update option is not available under my general tab...now what

    The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
    Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases - you may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
    You can then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button.

  • 3G.  I keep getting an error message "Network not available".

    3G.  I keep getting an error message "Network not available".  This is after turning data roaming ON, and even after turning phone off then back on, and having a 3G signal.  Help!

    I did ask my carrier - twice.  I also went into the Apple Store (45 miiles away), who checked it and assured me no hardware issues.
    I went back to the phone carrier - for the 3rd time.  The assistant rolled her eyes and said this happens all the time.  She changed the cellular data network settings on my phone from ideate to mobile.  Problem solved! 
    Carrier has also now offered a refund for the time without coverage - but I had to ask about that, and resist their attempts to change me to a more expensive contract.
    Hope this helps anyone else.  Thanks razmmee209

  • Canon MP510 scanner not available under 10.9, who can help?

    Canon MP510 scanner not available under 10.9 since update, who can help?
    Canon informed me that Apple does not support this device any more, apple informed to contact the manufacturer.....
    Any ideas how to activate scan function again?
    Printing is okay under 10.9 and under 10.8 scan+print was okay.

    Canon has a scanner driver and the MP Navigator scanning application for the MP510 for OS X 10.8 so you could try installing them on your 10.9 Mac. I am not sure if either file is digitally signed, so Gatekeeper will block the installation. To install them, you can Control-click on the respective installer and select Open from the pop-up menu. You will then be given the option to install.
    And for the record, Canon makes the drivers - not Apple, so it is Canon that is not supporting the MP510 on OS X 10.9.

  • My new iPad mini does not show under manage devices

    I just purchased a new iPad mini for my husband. I removed his old one from the section of iTunes that reads manage devices. And even though his new iPad mini is synced and backed up, now the new one does not show under manage devices.
    Can anyone tell me how to get it to show up? I called Apple support and the lady trying to help me did not even know what I was talking about.
    Thank you.

  • I cannot get wi-fi on my iphone - says no wi-fi and is not highlighted despite wireless networks being available

    HELP!
    i cannot get wi-fi on my iphone - says no wi-fi and is not highlighted despite wireless networks being available

    Hi, my iPhone 4S had a similar problem in February 2011, after several attempts to revive it, and nothing has worked, as I was traveling to the U.S. in May, and was still under warranty at no cost to me changed.
    But now a year later the new phone looks similar to make a software upgrade problem. The WiFi only works to no more than 2 meters from the antenna WiFi, then away more disconnects, not a router problem as all other wireless devices will work fine as ever. What happened? my phone will have lost its antenna gain?. I live in Argentina there is no Apple Store here, I do not travel to the U.S., from what I saw on the website of apple change the phone for an equal (which will surely have the same problem) miss u $ s 200. I am really disillusioned with Iphone. I think it must have been damaged wifi antenna that receives wifi signal but low sensitivity or a lot, will this model of Iphone has a general problem with any batch of antennas?, because I happened on 2 different phones

  • Existing wireless Network (not set up by me) add new mac to it

    I have little or no experience.
    A college computer science major (not available) set up a wireless network for my childrens emacs about 2.5 years ago. Using Netgear WGR614V2 router to a cable modem. has worked flawlessly.
    I just received a macbook Pro and in spite of trying to get it added to the network I can't seem to get it.
    I took the computer to starbucks and it accessed the network instantly, so it works fine.
    I need help in getting the computer to communicate with the router so that it can access the cable to the internet.
    I can see the various setting for the existing network by looking at the configurations on the emacs, but don't know how to set enter these to the new computer.
    I know you geniuses can do this in seconds. Please help Regards Jim Svarz

    Jim,
    I know how weird all these networking woes may seem to you. We all started as newbies
    Let's start afresh with the very basics:
    What we need to find out in the first place is:
    The name of your wireless network (this is also called SSID)
    If encryption is turned on for your wireless network (the most common names for wireless security schemes are WEP & WPA)
    If any other security measures (such as MAC address filtering, etc) are set for your wireless network that prevent your MacBook from joining in.
    All of the above information/settings is stored in your Netgear WGR614V2 router. (It's also displayed on your eMacs, but let's start with the router so you can get an overall picture of how your network works).
    If this is the correct model of your router: http://kbserver.netgear.com/products/wgr614v2.asp, I'm flicking through its manual to help you set you get up and running faster.
    Now, grab a pen & sheet of paper, sit in front of any eMac that works fine and place your MacBook next to the eMac. The next steps are following the instructions according to the router's manual.
    From the eMac:
    Open Safari
    In the address bar type: 192.168.0.1 (and press Return)
    You'll be asked for a username and a password, (Again according to the manual) the default ones are username:admin and password: password
    Assuming that the guy that setup your network didn't change the default ones, you'll be able to see (log-in) the router's configuration pages.
    Let me know if you can log-in to your router to continue to the next step(s)
