Hp laserjer p1008 printer wants to share with 10 hosts but printing not done properly by shared users so pls assist me for proper printing through network (Domain) host?

Check with HP for a Windows 7 driver for the printer. HP Ink Jets require proper drivers to work correctly. Once you have downloaded and installed the drivers try connecting again.
If you have installed the drivers and Windows 7 still refuses to "talk" to the printer, you may have to adjust your advanced network settings as well. Open up the Network and Sharing center, click on advanced sharing settings and make sure file and printer sharing is turned on. Also check "File Sharing Connections" and enable file sharing for devices that use 40 or 56 bit encryption.
If that fails to work you may need to speak with HP support for further assistance.

Which OS is this? If its on Windows 2003 or 2008 server then using the print management console as opposed to the start > printers option should resolve this issue. Print console can be found under admin tools in the start menu

Yes, you can. The easiest (and most secure) way to do this is to share it through a computer that is always on as the printer's host. Actually, looking at the specifications of the C5280, it is your only option. On the host computer (the one directly connected to the printer), click
(On Vista) Start > Control Panel > Printers
Right-click on the printer you wish to share, then left click on Sharing ... and click the checkmark box for "Share This Printer As" and give the printer a name. If this option is grayed out, click the shielded button Sharing Options and enable printer sharing.
On each of the computers you want to have printer access, open the printers window (see above) and double click the "Add Computer" icon. From the dialogue box, click "Add network, wireless or Bluetooth Printer." Your shared printer should appear on the list. Follow the prompts to install the printer, and you are ready to go!
Notes: The process is almost identical for WinXP and Windows 7 with small variations. Printer drivers will probably not be necessary, the remote computers may ask for one. Install the driver on each system as requested. Opening printer sharing can cause security vulnerabilities on improperly setup routers -- make sure that your wireless router is properly secured with WPA2 encryption and a security key (built-in features on most routers, but usually turned off by default).

Try connecting your printer directly to the wifi router/switch in a shared network configuration. Then go to your router settings, find the local ip address add this as the 'host'. Your settings should be as follows:


Driver : HP Mobile Printing
Bearer: Socket/HP Jetdirect
Access Piont: My Home Wifi (kaba)
Host : ip address of you printer
user : Blank ( tried my windows username,no use)
port : 9100
Printer Model: Officejet Printers

You will have to reconfigure your drivers on your pc as well. Mine installed as a wireless shared printer even though the printer is not wireless but I have it connected to my wifi switch for sharing and it worked fine.

Good luck

There are several things that you can do, the easiest is to have one of the systems HOST the printer, then SHARE that printer.

I need to know your OS to help with the rest, but for windows:

BE SURE if you use a wireless router, TURN ON SECURITY. Make the access code a 10 digit number....

Next, you may need to invoke the Network Wizard, in control panel, and that turns on all the switches to have the printer visible on your network. If you are running XP, you may need to do this in both computers.

In Vista go to network and sharing center, and give permissions there.

Sooo, now you have one computer able to print to this printer, and on that system, the printer is SHARED.

Now go to the 2nd computer, and you need to add a printer. If not on your start list, look in control panel... you want to add a NETWORK printer. You would like the system to look for available printers. Eventually, the shared printer should show up, you need to add it and install whatever drivers are needed, but typically NOT from the printer install disk, as that disk it intended for the host system, not network users...

Hope this gets you going.

(It is becoming more common, now, to have printers as their own network unit, but some of the setups are bumpy for less techie people... Hosting by one computer is much more stable.)

To solve the problem for the P1008 having spooler problem,
HP gives advise to block the function bidirectional printing,

Printer Sharing (This is good for Windows 2000, XP and Vista)
Sharing will be very easy if your network is working.
You need to consider the computer where the printer connected as the "Host" and the other computer that wants to print to that printer as the "Client".
Before you do such sharing, you need to acquire each computer's IP address.
You can do it by accessing MSDOS Prompt and typing in ipconfig/all. Write down your IP addresses and the share name on a paper.
For your Host:
Install the driver, make sure that you can print on direct bi-directional connection (such as USB).
Go to Control Panel >Printers and Faxes* >Sharing >Share this printer >Type in your share name, good example is PRINTER (this is case sensitive).
For your Client:
Install the driver, make sure that you can print, same with the Host.
Go to Control Panel >Printers and Faxes* >Properties >Ports >Add Port >Add local port type in \\ (the IP Addressof the Host) \ (share name), click OK.
ex. \\192.168.1.3\PRINTER (watch your backslash, no spaces)
*Term used is "Printers" for Windows Vista and Windows 2000

Hi cavman6

(01) Is the Vista computer able to access ANY shared resources at all on the XP machine?

(02) Are you running any firewall software (other than the firewall built into the operating system) on either computer?

(03) If you are, please, let us know which firewall software it is and, for now, please, disable it.

(04) Do both these computers have Internet access? (I'm assuming they do but I do need to ask.)

(05) Is the printer currently ONLINE and working properly w/ the XP machine?

IF YOU HAVEN'T DONE SO ALREADY, PLEASE, DO THE FOLLOWING:

(06) Assign *both* computers to the same network WORKGROUP.

(07) Ensure that file and print sharing are enabled on the XP machine. If you'd like, do so on the Vista system, too.
(A) How to on Windows XP
(B) How to on Windows Vista

(08) "Share" the printer on the XP machine (in printer properties).

(09) Can each computer now see itself AND the other computer on the network?

(10) Have you added your user name and password that you're using on the Vista system to the users list on the XP system?

(11) If you haven't done so already, please, do this. The user name should have a password associated w/ it. So, if you aren't using a password on your Vista system profile, assign one then add that user's credentials to the users list on the XP system.

Please, post back here w/ what you've tried and the results, your observations and any other comments or questions.

Thank you

The HP LaserJet 1000 is a Host Based printer and so is not compatible with your router's USB print server.

You cannot use this printer with this print server, it needs to be connected directly to a computer that can run the HP drivers/software.

From D-Links tech specs for your router:-

** Host-based printers are not supported. Please check with the printer manufacturer if your printer model is host-based (GDI).
