    Wireless printers don’t work on windows 7

    I just purchased three new laptop computers. Two of them are HP's and one is Toshiba Thay all are having the windows 7 installed on them. I have setup the wireless network with a netgear wnb2000 router. After that I obtained a canon pixma 560 printer. But my problem is that it is not working on an hp c4795 printer. Now the hp printers are not working. After spending six hours on the phone through hp support, they told that it is the windows 7 firewall problem that is not allowing my computer to communicate with the printer by means of the router. Has someone had this difficulty, and more prominently, does anybody know of a resolution? Thank you in advance.

    You can attempt to use the application within Compatibility Mode and see if that is able to help you or not. To perform that, just go through the steps given.
    1. First of all, right click shortcut for program and select properties.
    2. Select the Compatibility tab.
    3. Check “Run this program in compatibility mode for” box.
    4. Choose version of Windows for which program was prepared with the help of drop down menu arrow and click ok.

    This trouble can be associated to the unacceptable driver installation. Otherwise it is also probable that driver installed for your computer is despoiled and therefore that is showing you that problem. So my proposal to you is to install the complete updated driver all over again in your computer and observe if that can resolve the difficulty for you or else not. There are additional chances that updating otherwise installing the driver again can resolve the subject for you.

    I am not having this problem by means of Windows 7 as well as my wireless laser printer. To me it looks more like whichever antivirus software you comprise running. When I changed from Symantec End Point Protection toward Microsoft Security Essentials I might no longer push the scan button lying on my printer for to scanning files on my computer. I have to make the first move towards the scan of the computer and this technique worked very well. So you should do the same and I hope that this will do the same for you as well.

    Re: Wireless printers don’t work on windows 7

    I bought a laptop Windows 7 64 bit and I want to configure the server and wireless print setting. I tried the Windows Compatibility Center 7 from the Microsoft site and the need for print server and consistency. The Windows 7 Compatibility Center catalog only "D-Link DIR-320 Wireless-G USB Print Server Wireless Router" consistent with compatible server except when I can verify on the manufacturer's site in support of the print server then I establish that was not as a product accessible. I asked if there are some external print server and wireless that is compatible with 64-bit Windows 7 and is available in the United States. We need your suggestions.

    I am not having any problems using the wireless printer and Windows 7 here, both. One obsession that has assisted me in the history is to put the printer's IP address like static. I was extremely frustrated when Netgear again assign my printer address and would have to reset the settings on each PC. Oh yeah, do not expect support from HP for nothing. Google will be much more of a help, not blame a product that say they support such as windows
