Issue connecting to networked printer on XP from Win 7 computer

[Orbital Shark]

Another step to take is to try the following...

1, Open up 'Devices and Printers' from the Start Menu

2, Click 'Add Printer'

3, Click 'Add a Network, Wireless or Bluetooth printer'


From there, the printer on your network should appear.

   Tip

If asked for the disk then direct it to where you extracted the files from the last link I provided

I tried this at the very beginning and it doesn't like any driver I've downloaded, only the ones it can find with Windows Update. Also, when I click "Have Disk" it still only wants an IPI file?

Thanks a again for helping me with this!

* Sorry, I don't click "Have Disk", it just prompts for an IPI file

Does the XP machine have the LLTD protocol? Download details: Link Layer Topology Discovery (LLTD) Responder (KB922120)

Hi,

I have a Toshiba E-Studio25 connected to a PC running XP. I just added a new Win 7 64bit PC to my network and just can't get it to print. I've set up a new local port and pointed it to the Toshiba, if I install a generic driver such as a HP Laserjet 4, it will send the print job to the printer and I can see it on the XP computers print list, but it won't print. I think it must be something to do with the driver, but it's an older printer that should work off a generic HP driver. I've even downloaded a Vista 64bit driver for the estudio25 from Toshibas site, but this resulted in a spooling error message. I have to get this working, would be very greatful of some help!

Thanks

Hi,

Just tried installing the LLTD on the XP Machine but still nothing.

If I don't cancel spooling on the XP machine, I get a "Spooler SubSystem App has encountered a problem and needs to close" message on the XP, and in the print list it shows it as a "remote downlevel document" which just wont print.

I have a driver for the machine for Vista 64bit, I don't understand why this won't work? Also I have 4 other XP computers and one Vista computer on the network which I have no problems printing from.
