using shared deskjet 720c (win 98 se) on another computer computer (win XP) but printer isn't in list of printers
Hello. Is there another computer that could be selected from the list that comes with Windows 87 Second Edition? The Deskjet 720 c isn't on the list. I tried to install the software on win98se machine but the install program is looking for an LPT port but I want to install it as a network shared printer. If I use "Add Printer" it prompts me to select from a list. The closest HP Deskjet on this list is 690c, 692c, 693c, 694c, 850c, 855c, etc. Can I substitute a lower number? How should I proceed? Thanks! Rich Hollenbeck Oops! I know there is no Windows 87! Doh! I mean...

Finding printers that aren't there
I have been unable to print for a while, so finally, I decided to remove all the plists and drivers for both printers and re-install. I have done most of the removing, but before Reinstalling, I decided to make sure the printer select utility list was clear. Two macs, one named Blueberry, this named Gray. Both printers have their USB cables disconnected. Print select utility shows FOUR hp 840C printers, two on Blueberry, two on Blueberry's IP address. Deleting them is easy--but they reappear within five seconds! The Brother (which was the last one to actually print anything) is not...

Printer Sharing -- Why isn't it working?
There are two of us, both running OS X 10.4, and both connected via a Linksys wireless router. Each of us has a printer, mine is a Canon ip8500 and hers is a HP-1300, and each of us has enabled printer sharing via the system preferences. The problem is that for reasons unbeknownst printer sharing has ceased to work. When she attempts to print to my printer she gets a beachball that spins for a long time and then when the spinning ceases nothing is printed. Her printer fails to show up for me as an available printer. Help and such will be greatly appreciated. -- James L. Ryan -- Talie...

Printer won't print, messages won't delete in WindowsXP Pro
I'm running Windows XP Pro with a Lexmark Z22 printer. Often when I try to print, the printing notification widow pops up. As usual, I hear "Printing started," but nothing happens while the seconds are ticking away on the clock. If I try to cancel the job, then check the printing queue, the job is still there, marked "Deleting." The only way to get it to print is to restart, then it works (until the next time). The only way to delete the unsuccessful print job is to go into task manager under Processes and try to guess which process to delete. This works, when I g...

One of my WIN98SE networked printers won't add printers. Two other computers on the network nicely added the new printer with no problems.

These run on the other networked computers. When I run HP Network Printer Setup Wizard, it dies or claims the printer isn't networked, on this particular computer. The wizard runs fine on the other networked computers. The network protocols active are TCP/IP and IPX.

Are there wireless printers that don't require software running on the laptop?
I am considering purchasing a wireless all-in-one printer. I have some experience with a friend's HP J4680 and Brother MFC-390CW and both of them require specific software programs to be running on any laptop that is to try to print wirelessly through the Wi-Fi printer connection. Is this typical of wireless printers? Is there a company that makes a wireless printer which doesn't require a memory hogging software program from the printer manufacturer to be running on the laptop to be able to print wirelessly?

Looking for a new printer that doesn't clog, used much, etc.
Hello. I think I need to replace Epson Stylus Color 880 printer because every time I print, I get black wheel/roller marks and blobs. I tried clean every places, but no go. It seems fine if I am only feeding paper without printing. Maybe the printer head went bad and leaks when printing? Oh well, I only paid about 70 bucks for it back in September 2001. What's the best printer brand and model that doesn't clog often, easy to maintain, etc. I also don't use the printer much as I used to do as a student. I will print a few pages maybe once a month so the ink catridges need to stay in shape for a longer period of time especially during heat waves in Southern CA. I also still want to be able to print photographs in colors on glossy papers. This will be rare as well. The printer should work in Windows 95 to XP, Linux, and MacOS X (10.2.8; PowerBook G4 15" 1 Ghz). Parallel support would be nice for my old Pentium 150 MMX laptop with Windows 95 OSR2, but I doubt that parallel support still exists these days. Any printer sales happening in my area at Costco, Best Buy, Circuit City, CompUSA, Office Depot, Staples, etc.? I don't want to spend a lot of money on a new printer. It doesn't need to be the newest model either. Thank you in advance. :) -- "When I am at my lowest, that is when I see things the clearest.

Appleworks won't print shared printer 10.4.8
Just recently (within weeks) updated to 10.4.8 combo updater. I am still using Appleworks 6.29. Yes I know Apple has largely orphaned it. A shame as it was a nice basic software package. Handwriting on wall may indicate I should just abandon Appleworks. It has refused to print to a shared printer (not directly connected to this G4 iMac but another running 10.4.8). It simply does not see the shared printer. Eudora 6.24 on same Mac does see remote shared printer & prints fine.

does Canon have a printer that doesn't use a "FINE" cartridge?
Hello, i need to replace my second Canon printer and notice that the newer ones (Pixmas) have this "FINE" system. I don't need photo, just good color, and preferably an AIO type (one with a flatbed copier capability). Looked at an MP160, MP180, MP460.. They have this "FINE" cartridge system and I'd prefer as few cartridges as absolutely necessary... Anybody with an idea of a model still available that still uses the three-colors + 1-black cartridge configuration like the i series ones? Really appreciate any help you can suggest... Thanks!!

I believe this is a common problem with printer servers. Before you buy you have to check two things: a) That it supports your printer. b) How well it supports your printer. The lack of support for the "back channel" is quite common. "CWatters" <colin.watters@pandoraBOX.be> wrote in message news:xlXve.131568$Qy4.7039020@phobos.telenet-...
