Wireless printing between windows 8 and printer

When I try to print, I have to cycle power on the printer in order to get it to communicate with my laptop. After doing so I can print as much as I want without issue. If I try to print a couple of hours latter and have to cycle power again. I'm  thinking something must be reseting in the software, that by cycling power makes it active again. I did not have this issues with windows 7. 

Hey @bkatt ,
Thank you for taking the time to post on the HP Forums today! Hope you enjoy the experience.
So my name is Zac and I'll be your 1 to 1 HP Support representative today! I see you are using an Officejet 6500A and you are having some connectivity issues with your Windows 8.1. You have to connect and disconnect the power cord to get them to communicate after the printer is in idle mode for a while.
HP has a tool that developed and used to fix all kinds of issue with our printers on Windows platforms. The tool is called the HP Print and Scan Doctor. Please download the HP Print and Scan Doctor and see if it can locate any issues and if it fixes you communication issue.
Click here to download and run the Print and Scan Doctor >>> www.hp.com/go/tools
Let me know if you are able to get the HP Print and Scan Doctor to fix the issue. If you are not then let me know and we can continue to troubleshoot. Have a great day and a wonderful/ safe holiday season.

  • File Sharing between Windows PC and MacBook Pro using Internet Sharing

    I have a MacBook Pro and a Dell Latitude D820 running Windows XP SP2 and I want to connect both using any of these two options. I do not have a wireless router and I use Sprint 3G data card to access internet.
    1) I access the internet using a EVDO data card on my MAC and use Internet sharing to access the internet on my Dell laptop. How do I access the files on my PC from my MAC?
    2) I can have two EVDO data cards to access the MAC and PC independently. How can I setup file sharing between Windows laptop and MAC?

    It works for some and not for others.
    At this time, there is no publicly available version of iTunes that is supported on Windows 8.
    Only Apple knows when that will change.

  • Difference between Window Subwindow and Mainwindow

    Hi I am new to smartforms. I want to know Difference between Window Subwindow and Mainwindow. are all these same ? Can i create a subwindow inside a main window ?

    Hi
    see the different types of Windows
    What are the different types of windows in SAP Scripts?
    Windows are defined in the Layout sets which define the position and the text to displayed.
    The different types of windows are:
    MAIN - Main Window
    The main window is a continous window which can extend over several pages. If the text in the main window fills up a page, a new page is created.
    Only one main window can be defined in the SAP Script whereas upto 100 instances of main window can be created in a page.
    VAR - Variable Window
    This window can have the variable contents displayed on them. The contents of the window cannot exceed the window size. The content can be formatted for each page.
    CONST - Constant Window
    The constant window can have a fixed content and is formatted only once.
    Main Windows (MAIN)
    Each form must have one window of type MAIN. Such a window is called the main window of the form. For SAPscript forms, the main window has a central meaning:
    • It controls the page break.
    • It contains the text body that may cover several pages.
    • It allows to fix text elements at the upper and lower margins of the allocated page window (for example, for column headings).
    As soon as a window of type MAIN is full, SAPscript automatically triggers a page break and continues to output the remaining text in the main window of the subsequent page. Page windows of type MAIN have the same width throughout the form. The SAPscript composer thus avoids reformatting of the text after each page break.
    Variable Windows (VAR)
    The contents of variable windows is processed again for each page, on which the window appears. The system outputs only as much text as fits into the window. Text exceeding the window size is truncated; the system does not trigger a page break. Unlike constant windows, the page windows declared as variable windows may have different sizes on different form pages.
    Constant Windows (CONST)
    Starting with Release 4.0, the system internally processes windows of type CONST similar to windows of type VAR. Therefore, if you create a new window, always use type VAR.

    Okay Thanks for your reply.
    But what about nal objects? For example Microsoft patches. You don't want Xp
    patches to be rolled out on 2000 machines. So filtering on file existence is
    the only way?? for example C:\windows\explorer.exe for xp and
    C:\winnt\explorer.exe for 2000.

  • Printing differences with LR4+ between Windows 8 and iMac

    Hi. I have using my iMac running the latest version of OS-X with LR printing currently to an Epson XP-600 with pretty good results, that is, the print matches the screen with few exceptions.
    I recently installed my second allowable copy of LR4 to a new HP laptop running Windows 8 and the prints, using the same photos, are way off both in darkness and in color shift. The Printer interfaces look different but many of the options are the same. I currently let the printer control the prints (with either computer) but tried separate profiles as well. No real change. Here is the important part... The only other program I have on the new Laptop that can print photos is Microsoft PowerPoint and the photos printed with PowerPoint are identical to the photos printed in LR on the iMac! So... somehow the Windows LR is changing the parameters.
    I have compared settings between the two computers (only one opened at a time) over and over and ran through a set of ink cartridges trying to match either LR/iMac or Windows PowerPoint to the LR Windows photos to no avail. Am I missing something obvious? Why don't the LRs print the same with the same settings regardless of the operating system? Both are 64 bit computers. Any thoughts would be appreciated... thanks! Andy

    Thank you for replying, Rikk. However I respectfully disagree with you. I wasn't comparing the printed photo to the laptop monitor but to the other computer's printed photo (and to the iMac's monitor by extension). Big difference. I deliberately let the printer manage color because with the iMac, the print matched the monitor without profile control. In Windows, I also let the printer manage color so LR, let alone the monitor, should have no influence on color, much like the PowerPoint print as you mentioned. The printer, if printer settings are the same, should produce the same print in OS-X or Windows 8. The PowerPoint print matching the LR print on the Mac proves this to be true IMHO.
    To put it another way, I'm not trying to match the Windows print to the Laptop monitor, which is not only uncalibrated but somewhat irrelevant. The two monitors look nothing alike with regard to color. Neither monitor should actually influence the print when compared to the other print using identical printer settings with LR set to printer control.
    Please do not think I'm trying to be contentious here, I'm not, but to put it a third way, If I print the photo from another program (iPhoto) on the iMac, it looks identical to the print in LR on the iMac. Because the printer is in control. On the Windows computer, printing in and out of LR, with printer settings the same, do not. That's what I'm trying to find out.
    Finally with respect to your last sentence, that's my whole point. I believed I had turned off color awareness in LR on both computers. I don't need it. Apparently, I didn't turn it off on the Windows computer and I would love to know why it didn't go off?
    Thanks, Andy
    PS You deserve an explanation as to why I use the printer control and no profiles. The answer is somewhat serendipitous: With this particular printer (and I've had many), when the printer is set to manage the color, the prints, for whatever reason, very closely match the iMac monitor (which is calibrated), even moreso than with printer color OFF and ICC profiles employed. I've tried them all. I only use one kind of paper. If I call up a photo of my grandchildren, the print matches the iMac display close enough for my needs. What I see is what I print. Why change it?

  • Help! Making a Wireless Network between a PC and Mac and more.

    I am trying to make a network between my powerbook and my fiance's pc, so we can share printers. I have an Airport Express and I bought her a Netgear Wireless PCI card. The PCI card is installed and has located the Aiport network. How do I get it to see the printer attached? Is Bonjour necessary? I'm downloading it via the Mac and then transferring the file by Zip because for some reason it wasn't downloading properly on the PC.
    Also of note, we use dial-up to connect to the net so this network is again just to share the printers we have, and maybe files.
    Printer sharing: I have my HP deskjet connected via a 4-port hub to my Airport. My computer recognizes the HP but when I connected the Lexmark 2250 it couldn't see it at all. Why is that? What can I do to fix it? I have the latest Lexmark Drivers.
    How do I get my Mac to see the PC for file transferring, etc? I've been searching through apple's site for information and nothing is really helping me. I am gonna explode.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance.
    Seth

    Ok I got the PC to see my HP 940c wirelessly using Bonjour. However, I still can't get the Lexmark 2250 to show up on either the mac or pc wirelessly when connected to the hub? Is using a 4-port hub connected to the Airport express just not going to cut it for making a multiple printer hub?
    I'd really like to do this plus make an network between the two computers.

  • Sharing Files between Windows Vista and Macbook Pro

    Hi everyone!
    I have just bought my first Macbook Pro and I love it. I am running Windows Vista on my desktop and connect wirelessly to the internet via a Netgear router. I have managed to connect to the internet with the Macbook Pro wirelessly too.
    I am not sure how to set up file sharing between the PC and Macbook - can anyone point me to some SIMPLE instructions please?
    Many thanks

    this is a wonderful article! thanks so much!
    only one small change though. you don't really need to create another user ID to access the windows machine. i used my existing ID and it logged on fine!
    but still, thanks for the rest of the article. i was totally lost without it...

  • Home Sharing between Windows Vista and Windows 8

    I am trying to carry out Home Sharing between my old Windows Vista laptop and my new Windows 8 laptop. I have followed all the instructions and both have HS switched on. I can see my W8 library from my WV laptop but I cannot see my WV library from my W8 laptop.
    An additional question is I do not have a Podcast button on my Windows 8 iTunes whereas it is on the Windows Vista iTunes.
    Can anyone assist me in finding a resolution????

    I have been having this exact issue the past 2 days, and I've tried everything within my knowledge, but to no avail. Both Home Sharing computers are on the same network, logged into Home Sharing with the same Apple account, and both computers are authorized for that account. I'm afraid this may just be an issue with the recent iTunes update. Before this recent version, the 2 computers I'm trying to share between did so just fine. Now, the connection is only working one way. I think this will just have to be resolved on Apple's part upon a new iTunes update. Hopefully. Another reason may be the difference in computer operating software (Windows Vista vs. Windows 8) and the inability to communicate between the two (This can happen since the older OS may not be capable of communicating with the newer OS, while the newer OS MAY be capable of communicating with older OS versions). Therefore, a new update would be required from Apple to fix this error. As for your issue in not seeing the Podcast button, try this:
    If you have version 11.0.1:
    1) Click the very upper left icon in the window.
    2) Click "Preferences..." (Or hit keys [CTRL] + [,])
    3) Click the tab labeled "General" on the window that pops up.
    4) There should be a list of check boxes, each labeled a different component of iTunes. (Music, Movies, etc.)
    5) Make sure the checkbox labeled "Podcasts" is checked.
    6) Click the "OK" button in the bottom right of the window to save changes and close the window.
    If you have an earlier version, follow the EXACT same process as above, except step 1 will be different:
    1) Click "File in the upper left corner.
    Hope this helps!

  • Compatibility between windows 8 and apple networks?

    Hi,
    I have a apple network set up at my parent's house that has worked marvelously for the past years. THe network has a time capsule and two airport express. Unfortunately not everyone at my house is an apple user, and my stepdad just got a new HP laptop with Windows 8 and it doesn't seem to be connecting properly to the wifi network.
    ANy idea why this is? is it a problem with the firmware? windows 8? the airports? the time capsule?
    Thanks!

    Windows does not handle the names that apple tends to default to.. so make sure all names are..
    short.. 10-20 characters
    no spaces.. they are not valid in windows networking
    pure alphanumeric.. the apple default is to use apostrophe.. not at all liked by windows.
    That unfortunately means a full reset of the whole system if it is non-compliant.
    A different solution is to simply buy a cheap wireless router.. say TP-Link WDR3600, which is about $80 here.. and probably cheaper in US.. or even cheaper model, like 1043ND.. which is about $50 and run it as AP only plugged into the TC by ethernet.

  • How to automate the alias between Windows AD and SAP accounts

    I have authentication working where I can logon via SSO with Windows AD authentication and still get to SAP BW via SAP SNC.  In getting this to work I had to manually create an alias between the Windows AD account and th SAP Account.  We will have thousands of users in our Business Objects environment with users coming and going each day.  I have not found a way to automate the creation of the alias.  There must be some way to do this, since this seems like it would be a common need for customers that want to access both SAP and non SAP resources in Business Objects.  Has anyone found a way to automate the creation of the aliases?  Our user ids are the same in Windows AD and SAP, so it doesn't seem like this should be that difficult, but I can't figure this out.

    Thanks for the response.  That was helpful.  I had seen something similar is SAP Note 1269228, but that note did not mention the registry key setting.  These seems like a fairly common request.  Is built in support for this planned in XI 3.2 or XI 4?  The reason I ask about the feature being included in future releases, is because we may hold off on taking the time to develop a script if this is soon to be part of the software. 
    Also, if anyone has already created a script to do this, I would be inteterested in knowing how you scripted this.  How do you handle adds/removes of either SAP Authentication or Windows AD Authentication for a user?  How do you handle adds or deletes of whole users?

  • Communication between Windows 7 and Windows 8(and above) using Sockets(TCP and UDP)

    It is not clear what develop language you are using, here are examples which uses the C# based on .NET. It created the communition between two machines by using sockets with TCP protocol, a server and a client:
    Synchronous example:
    Client and

    Is there a difference? I am referring to the downloads here http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

    hi Chris,
    do you mean CC or CC 2014? I also work on Windows 8.1 and it seems to me that CC 2014 runs much slower than CC. I checked on Adobe`s website and the technical requirements for CC 2014 are the same like for CC, but it seems like the new version needs more CPU and faster hard drives.

  • Differentiating Between Windows XP and Windows XP Embedded with MAP Tool

    Hi All,
    I have a customer who has multiple Windows XP Embedded Thinclients.  When he runs the MAP tool they show up as Windows XP devices.  I have personally not seen this yet since he hasn't shared the MAP data yet but does anyone know if the MPA tool
    can differentiate between Windows XP desktops and Windows XP embedded Thinclients or are they all lumped together?  Does the MAP tool show for example versioning that might help differentiate?   Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    When queried by MAP, the WMI service in the Windows XPe machines are reporting back as “Microsoft Windows XP Professional” and since MAP can only report what WMI tells it, that is what shows up in the reports. This is an artifact of Windows XPe because it
    starts out as a full version of XP Pro and then each OEM can choose what parts they want to remove, if any. If the OEMs don’t modify the WMI class to show the product as XP Embedded, it will continue to show up with its original description of Windows XP Professional.
