Cara Connect Printer
One common problem I have run into with clients is trying to share a printer connected to a Windows XP machine with Windows 7/8/10. There are lots of people out there that have USB connected printers attached to one computer, sometimes even a Windows XP machine.
If you get a new laptop running Windows 7/8/10, it makes sense to share that printer so that any computer can print to it. Unfortunately, trying to print to a shared printer on XP from Windows 7/8/10 is not as simple as it should be! In this article I will walk you through the steps for XP to Windows 7/8/10 printer sharing. I am assuming your printer is directly attached to a Windows XP machine and you want to print from a Windows 7/8/10 machine. Setup Printer Sharing Step 1: First make sure that the printer on the XP machine is shared. You can do this by right-clicking on the printer and choosing Sharing. Click the Share this printer radio button and give your printer a share name.
Make sure is less than 8 characters and does not contain any symbols. Step 2: Make sure you can see the printer share from the network browsing area in Windows 7/8/10. You can do this by going to Control Panel and clicking on Network and Internet. Then click on View network computers and devices under Network and Sharing Center. At this point, you should see the name of your XP computer in the list of computers. My XP machine is called Aseem. Double-click on the computer name and you should see your shared printer in the list.
Here you can try to add the printer by right-clicking on it and choosing Connect. If everything goes perfectly, Windows 7/8/10 should automatically add the printer to your set of printers. However, if you get a message like “Cannot connect to printer”, follow the next steps. Step 3: Click on Start and then click on Devices and Printers. At the top, click on the Add a printer link.
How to Connect a USB Printer to Your Laptop. Because most laptops lack a printer port, USB printers are the way to go. You can connect your USB printer. The printer supports 'Wireless Direct' in which you can connect to the printer wirelessly from a computer or smartphone even in an environment without a.

Step 4: Next choose Add a local printer. Yes, that sounds counter-intuitive, but this is what you have to do! Step 5: Next, click Create a new port and choose Local port from the list of options.
Step 6: Click Next and in the Port name box, type in the path to the shared printer. It should be something like, where Aseem is the name of your XP machine and HPXP is the shared name of the printer. Step 7: Now choose the printer driver from the list or download the latest driver for the printer and choose Have Disk. Note that if you printer is a little older, it’s a good idea to download the Windows 7/8/10 driver for the printer and before clicking Have Disk. Windows 7/8/10 will load the driver and you’ll be able to print to the XP machine from Windows 7/8/10! The main things to remember are sharing the XP printer and downloading the latest driver for the printer on the Windows 7/8/10 machine.
If you have any problems sharing your printer on XP and printing from Windows 7/8/10, post a comment here and I will try to help! Worked 1st time. I have been trying to share a printer on my home network for weeks.
It even works on a wireless connection via Router Access Point! My HP printer is connected to a W7 Desktop.
Now, I have wireless access to the Printer from the XP laptop. Important points to note: (Not made clear on other sites or networking books) 1.
Make sure the computers are linked on a network. On the Host Computer, follow the Sharing steps. From the Client Computer, use the steps detailed above to connect to the printer. I placed a comment yesterday concerning step 6 and a message I received concerning 'Not enough server storage.' I did some research on that and found some info concerning a registry key that might need to be modified. When I checked my reg I found the key missing. I backed up the reg and then edited it to include this key – IRPStackSize DWORD 0x0000000f (15) which is supposed to be the default size.
Their suggestion was to increase the parameter. I just made the the key as is and all has worked fine. I printed a test page fine. Thanks again for your help. You have a very interesting blog that I now plan to follow. I have the same problem as Tom Miller above.
I have a Epson Stylus Photo RX500 printer connected to a XP computer via USB. I'm trying to remotely print to it from my new HP Win 7 laptop and it fails. I get the message 'NO driver found. The file.inf on (unknown) is needed'. I tried hooking the printer up locally to the Win 7 laptop and it works fine. It's pulling drivers from c:Windowssystem32spooldriversx64.
The problem is that none of these drivers are '.inf' like it wants when its trying to connect remotely. So I'm stuck. Please advise. The 'add a printer' to local port instructions in this article worked. My mistake was that the first time through it did not finish up correctly so when I tried to add it again the computer said that the port already exists.
What I did was change the shared drive name on the XP computer the printer is attached too. On the windows 7 wireless computer I went back and followed these instructions and, whola, the printer is now connected properly.
The one thing I would add to this article is that after the 'add a printer' is finished go to 'control panel', then 'devices and printers' and if the remote printer is not shown then the 'add a printer' didn't work correctly. Had similar problem. The Win7 machine could see and ping the XP machine that had the printer connected directly to it, but the Win7 machine could never find/install the printer. I used the alternate method shown in the article, but when I used the text address to the printer ( xpmachinename SamsungC), I got an error message like “Network path not found.” So, I tried using the XP machine’s IP address followed by the text printer shared-name: 192.168.1.103 SamsungC.
Win7 even offered the latest driver, and the test page printed fine. I had the same problems reported by nitishgarg (April 4, 2011) and Bryan (Jan 11, 2012).
I could see the printer connected to the XP computer from my Windows 7 computer but when selecting it for connection it could not find the driver and would simply ask for the location of “.inf” file without much choice other than to cancel. I had connected the printer to the Win 7 PC directly via USB cable and it found the driver and was able to print fine. But when I tried to connect via the network it would run into the above problem. I followed the advice of adding a local printer and it pulled up the choice of printers and drivers, when I selected mine (Lexmark 232) it of course indicated there was already a driver for that printer (from the direct cable connection). Declined to replace it (it would not matter anyway, for it would replace it with the same version of the driver) and it was then able to connect just fine. Printer working thru the network now.
Thanks for the advice. Thanks very much for this, I had loads of problems, including XP not showing on the Windows7 ‘View network computers & devices’ list. Eventually after I sorted that, when I tried to connect, a login screen popped and it wouldn’t accept any of the Admin account logins.

Again, eventually sorted the problem out, but then found that my old printer didn’t appear on the list and HP don’t offer Windows 7 drivers for old printers! Well, luckily, I clicked on that ‘Windows Update’ button in your last picture. It took a good 5 minutes, I thought it had locked up, not responding, but eventually it did come back and the list of printers was quite a bit longer, and believe it or not, they even had my 10yr – old HP Deskjet, which not even HP could help with.
Well done Microsoft. Loaded that driver and bingo, it printed the test page at first try.

I was amazed, really pleased. So thanks once again, Aseem, for this very useful Blog post, which although couldn’t sort out all my problems, it gave me a very clear framework of what had to be achieved.
As I sorted out one problem, then I could progress to the next stage. Thanks again. Hi there, great writeup, thank you. However, I’m still having a problem connecting to an HP Laserjet 1320 that’s available via a Win XP client. I see the computer when I activate the Network icon, but when I double click on it, I get the message “Windows cannot access ”, and running the Troubleshooting utility doesn’t rectify things either.
What’s interesting is that I am able to connect to another XP client which also has a 1320 printer attached, and it works fine, so I’m thinking there’s something with the original XP client that needs tweaking. If you have a document on Windows 7 that you want to print, and the printer is connected to an XP computer on the network: If after step 6 in this article (above) you get a message that says the port already exists, then open devices and printers in the start menu, right click on that printer, and select remove. If the printer associated with the port is no longer present in devices and printers, then open printmanagement.msc. (You can find it quickly by typing it in the search box in the start menu.) Look around in there and you should be able to find and delete it. Jungle book full movie download free.
