| | Vista X64 can't print to shared Vista X86 On my home network I have a main computer with 2 printers attached, and shared. I can connect and print from another Vista X86 computer and from an XP x86 machine. The network configuration is all correct and working well, except for this one printer glitch. I just built a new computer with Vista X64, and am stymied by my HP Laserjet P3005. I cannot get it connected over the network, as I have with other printers. This is especially strange as I have connected my Canon color printer without any trouble. - Canon Pixma on USB, shared - set up without any trouble on Vista 64 computer over the network - HP Laserjet P3005 on LPT1 - cannot set up. Downloaded drivers. During the initial setup on the network 64bit machine it asked for drivers. I had downloaded them and unzipped them, so I pointed it to the folder, and it appeared to install them. After a pause, I got an error message from Vista: "Windows cannot connect to the printer. Operation could not be completed (error 0x0000007e). I then went to the 32 bit computer, opened the shared properties, and selected the "additional drivers" button. I re-unzipped the driver locally, then added the 64bit drivers. No change. After reading on line, I attempted to create a local port with the //network name/printer name format. I get "Access is Denied" Next, I moved the new computer close to the printer and plugged the printer directly into the 64 bit computer via USB. The printer installed correctly, with no errors. This tells me that the printer drivers themselves are OK. So I then tried to create a new local port from within the newly installed printer properties window - no good, access denied. I then re-tried to add the printer, hoping that the drivers would be straightened out by the local install, but no good. So . . . Any suggestions?? Don Mannino |

| | Re: Vista X64 can't print to shared Vista X86 Cari, Thanks for the reply! The laserjet is connected to and shared on a Vista 32 bit computer. The Vista 64 computer can see the printer, but cannot access it at all. Printer drivers definitely function, as a direct USB connection works. I also tried re-connecting the printer via USB (instead of LPT1) to the 32 bit computer, then re-sharing the printer - same result. It comes up in the network printer setup wizard, but then gives an error when it attempts to install the printer. The main Vista computer uses Vista ultimate 32 bit, and the new computer is Vista personal 64 bit. All file sharing functions perfectly, and the other printer (a Canon) works fine also. I am suspecting more and more that something is funny with the HP 64 bit drivers that don't like running over a network. Again, another Vista 32 bit computer connects to the printer fine, and a XP computer also connects to it fine. So, I wonder if anyone out there have an HP laserjet set up as a shared printer using Vista 64 bit?

| | Re: Vista x64 can't print to shared Vista X86 - Laserjet Cari, Yes, I did install the drivers from both sides - on the network printer, and on the sharing host printer in the sharing configuration. I also tried a network print server today. The print server identified the printer correctly, but the driver will not install. I am convinced now that Hewlett Packard has a problem with the 64 bit driver that keeps it from working over a network connection. The printer works fine when connected direct via USB. If you have any other thoughts, let me know. Thanks again for taking the time to respond.

| | Re: Vista X64 can't print to shared Vista X86 I am having the same issue. How do I add additional drivers. I am trying to add the additional driver to the 32 bit machine. The next step is to locate the driver. I do not have the driver on my computer or disk. When I plugged it into my 64 bit computer the driver loaded automatically.

I'm able to print to it locally, and Windows Fax and Scan can drive the scanner function, but I haven't managed to get it working over the network as a shared printer plugged in to a 32 bit machine.

| | Re: Vista X64 can't print to shared Vista X86 Cari, I am not sharing between different operating systems. I have vista Home Premium 64 bit on laptop and Vista home premium 32 bit on desktop. What I am hoping to do with no luck so far is install both a 32bit and 64 bit driver on my laptop so I can print off of my desktop through my home network.

| | Re: Vista X64 can't print to shared Vista X86 I do this all the time so Yes this works . Well, I don't use a laptop as my server but I have plenty of x64 machines sharing printers to 32 Vista. The 32 bit driver is most easily available from Vista 32 bit when using inbox drivers. You can add the driver onto the 64 bit machine from the 64 bit machine using Have disk but it's easier to add the driver to the 64 bit machine from the 32 bit machine. I'm assuming the drivers shipped with Vista, if that is not the case, then the driver names must match exactly (PCL6 does not match PCL 6). I am also assuming you have admin access to the remote machine. From the 32bit machine, open the remote 64bit machine's printers folder Start / Run / \\remotemachine Open the printers folder. Right click any white space and select Server Properties / Drivers / Add pick the driver with the same name as the 64 bit driver. The print drivers are stored under \windows\system32\driversstore\filerepository\prn??001.blah (where ?? is a 2 letter code for the manufacture hp in your case and blah is, well you will see. The 64bit machine only needs the 32 bit print drivers installed for downloading the driver to 32bit clients. When the print driver is included in the OS, the client normally will install the inbox driver if the server does not have the 32 bit driver available. ONE LAST TIME, the 32bit driver name must exactly match the 64 bit driver name to play this game. HP is generally good in this regard. -- Alan Morris Windows Printing Team Search the Microsoft Knowledge Base here: http://support.microsoft.com/search/?adv=1 This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
