Printer was on a network with network settings. I want to use at home but not printing

You can find a User Manual here: http://support.lexmark.com/index?page=product&locale=en&productCode=LEXMARK_X543&segment=SUPPORT&userlocale=EN#3 I could not find that it has Wireless capability. You can set it up as a Network Printer on a Home Network. Use this procedure: http://www.trainsignal.com/blog/how-to-setup-a-small-home-network-part-2 OR, http://www.ehow.com/how_8038760_setting-up-wired-printer-network.html Once you have it setup as a Wired Network Printer Share the printer that way you can connect Wirelessly to ALL computers on your Home Network. All computer must be in the Home Network and the Computer the Lexmark is connected to via a Hardware printer cable must be turned on to print Wirelessly. Setting up a Home Network procedure: http://compnetworking.about.com/od/homenetworking/ig/Home-Network-Diagrams/

Have you set uo a home network? Do you have your printer sharing with your home network? your printer, Brother MFC-6890cdw, is not wireless, is that correct? You can print through a Home Network, wth a sharing Printer, but the printer must be compatible with Apple Air to print with Apple devices. That said, you can download a App for E-Print on the Ipad. It can be done with exceptions.

There are two ways to your problem:-

1. The printer is connected to another machine
Set up a Home WIFI system and then add a network printer on the machine that you want to print from. You however need to switch on the pc connected to the printer when want to print. If not sure on setting up a home WIFI system just check on the internet.

2. The printer is WIFI enabled
Just install the printer on your machine and make sure that your printer is hooked up to the WIFI network as well.

The Print Diagnostic Utility diagnoses and resolves common printing problems and communication problems, including:

If you prefer, you can skip this information and go directly to downloading the tool .

• Connectivity :
  • USB: Ensures that the USB connection from your computer to the HP product is working correctly.
  • Network: Ensures that the network connection between your computer and your network is working correctly. If the tool detects a network connectivity problem, you will be prompted to run the HP Network Diagnostic Utility for better results.
• Spooler : Automatically restarts the print spooler, which sends print jobs from the computer to the product, if it has been stopped.
• Online status : Checks if the product has been paused or set to offline, and then sets the status back to online if necessary.
• Device manager : Checks for problems in Device Manager that would prevent printing.
• Print queue : Checks for and clears pending print jobs in the print queue (a log of print jobs waiting to print).
• Port : Checks the port settings for the HP product.
• Driver : Checks for alternate-driver settings.
• Conflicts : Checks for conflicts with other drivers, such as other printer brands.
• Default printer : Checks the default printer setting and prompts to select the HP product as default (optional).

To get it to print from your notebook you will first have to install it on the notebook as a network/shared printer. To do this you'll run the add hardware wizard/printers making sure the printer is on and connected to the network. Once windows installs the printer driver you should be all set. Hope this helps.

Because your printer is not either wireless or network capable, the only way to get the results you need is to purchase a usb print server, hook it to your router, set it up through it's management console, and if your router is wireless, you can hook up to your router and print to your printer with your desktop turned on or off.

ok..this may be a user access issue on the network..check your admin access settings first

Share Your Printer Over a Home Network Using Windows XP

in order to print from laptop to printer both pc need to be tuned on ,

The 2050 uses 2 network connections, one for the printer and one for the scanner.
Before I go into any great detail,
Do you have a home network? Are you using a switch?
Are you printing through the network connection or the USB/parallel port?
Are you trying to twain scan? Do you have the software CD for scanning.
If not, you will need to download the drivers from the Kyocera web site.

You asked for any advice. If you want to use a server, you must already have at least a home network set up (it could be wireless or hard-wired). Yes, stand-alone "print servers" are notorious for only supporting certain printers. If you don't know this before you buy, you may find yourself returning your print server to the store. However, instead of a standalone print server, have you considered setting up one of the computers in your network as a "print server"? That's the way it used to be done. That's the way my own network is set up. You would set up your multifunction printer as connected directly to one of the computers in your network. Enable "printer sharing" on that computer. Then do the following on all other computers in the network for which you desire access to the printer: Add a network printer. If asked for drivers, get them off the printer's installation CD.
