Wireless printers I have a pc in my den for family use but both daughter and my husband have laptops and I would like for them to be able to print on the PC printer which is a HP Color LaserJet 2840 from their respective rooms Is this even possible? some one have told me yes but I can't seem to do something right..

Hello,
All you need to do is to remove the printer currently added on your daughter's laptop(most likely it is the printer installed on your laptop)and then add the lexmark printer manually on your daughters laptop. Make sure when you do this your laptop is turned off. If this won't work, that means that the laptop of your daughter does not detect the wireless printer.
hope this helps...

Hi richardhaley,
Isee that you are having issues with your Canon MP610 printer.
You mentioned that your printer is connected to an Apple Time capsule via USB and that it works fin on your Macbook and on your sons Vista Laptop but prints the colored shifted to the right on your daughter's Vista and wife's XP Laptop and this is connected via USB.
If I may ask have you tried printing wireless using your daughters Vista Laptop and you wife's XP Laptop to see if the colors are still gonna shifted to the right.
Also you mentioned the drive that the driver you are using is from bonjour but still you have the same problem.
Here is a link where you can download drivers specific for the versions of windows your daughter's Vista and your wife's XP would have, you will need to select exactly the OS operating system for the driver that you need also there is a software for each Operating system as well maybe you can download that as well for both system for you to be able to recalibrate the printer from the 2 machines.
I hope that this will help.
Thank you for choosing Fixya,

You may as well buy a wireless printer and try to replace the old with the new.
You already have a wireless router, so the rest is easy.

Printing: since Lexmark say you can either connect wirelessly or wired and not both, you must either connect your daughter's machine to the hub by wire or yourself to the printer wirelessly.

Fax: this will need a phone line.

you have to use the add hardare wizard and you must either have an internet connection or you just have to connect thru cable.when you are connected the set wizard would help you connect then you search for the printer thats by typin in the model of the laptop.
take care

1.How are you attaching to the network printer from your daughters computer? IP address, or by the name of the printer...Also make sure you check you are attaching to the network printer, and not local printer.

2. Install the Microsoft TCP/IP version 6 protocol on both computers by clicking install on your LAN properties, then restart PC. This should work!

Hi there!

Try to reinstall the printer driver on your Acer Laptop. Hope this solves the problem.

Not sure how you're removing the driver, but if you go to control panel device manager remove the printer totally as an option; reboot and then reload the printer. You also need to identify the remote printer in the print sequence or as your default printer in set-up (device manager). Hope this helps.

Hi

I'm not sure if this is a problem with just print queueing, or with your network. Nonetheless this posting may help you with the print queueing problem:

This is not my solution but BARRET's. It's worth a try if you have not yet solved your problem.

This model does not come with network printing as far as I know... you would probably have to buy a printserver
