Adding a computer to a network printer




 I want to add a computer to a network printer but the computer is 64 bits and the printer is 32 bits. Please, what could be done?
Download and install the 64-bit driver for the printer. If this is an old printer, check with the manufacturer to see if they have a 64-bit driver.
Windows 7 can be configured as both host and client for the printer sharing. I assume that you want to use your Windows 7 for the client printing connection.   
  
Here are some of the steps to make the connection from Windows 7 as a printer.   
  
1. Click on start button and go to control panel.   
2. Go to network and sharing center.   
3. Go to Change Advanced Sharing Settings.   
4. Find out the home or the private network under which this computer has access to other computers.   
5. Click on the network with which you want to share printer as a host or client.   
6. Find the option for printer sharing in settings.   
7. Turn on the option "File and Printer Sharing".   
8. Save the changes.   
9. Reboot the system.   
  
This takes few seconds usually but some of the time reboot is required if the network is not properly detected. So you have to go through the above steps unless proper network is established.   
  
If it is asking for username and password for the public network, then you have to provide if it was set during the home or private network sharing options. If it is not set, then you have to reset the network sharing options at host and then reconnect your client machine for printer sharing. Yes, there are KVM switches that support multiple monitors. do a search for multi-display KVM.


with regard to send print jobs to the printer, the best approach is probably going to be to buy a wireless printer and hook it up on your local network. Windows 7 is the operating system for your computer and it must have one to function. You have to install another operating like Windows XP or Vista and then you will be able to use the net. If you have not done this before, you should propably find someone who has to help you. that is where i'd start as well. osi...
so:
1. physical link (maybe check the patch panel and the cabling that's involved in connecting to the computer, maybe swap cables and try a usb to ethernet adapter to rules the nic out.
2. data link - check the switches and switchports on the way. maybe try to use different portts
3. network - most likely not an issue if all the other computers are working fine...
etc.
but this is pretty much it: Hello Nanda, Basically you need to include the network drivers and the storage drivers.

+ You can find the drivers from Manufacturer site where you can filter the Category and download –

Like this – <https://snipboard.io/bQt5ER.jpg> Your card is ok. There is interference between the router and your computer.  

  

1. The router or the PC may be "hidden" behind a metal cabinet, refrigerator, etc.  

2. Move router higher  

3. Microwave ovens and some cordless phones (not cellphones) that use 2.4GHz will interfere with the 2.4GHz WiFi signal.  

4. Point the router antennas in-line with the direction of the PC.  

5. Move the router closer to the PC. I don't know that printer. But Arduino has a feature that a USB connection causes a reset. The Idea is that this helps when doing software update as the Arduino Boot loader will be active for one second after that reset.

 This can be disabled, but needs hardware modification. i think it’s too early to think about h.266.

in any case if it will be supported then you need new hardware. you would need to buy a licenced copy of windows for every machine. 

linux systems are free and young folks at school would quickly adapt to a different operating system and probably learn more from using linux.

here's a link to a download of a good flavour of linux which you can burn on to a cd or dvd and install it on one of the laptops to try it yourself.

it will be different but there are equivalents to all the programmes to which you're accustomed. Do you have a laptop or desktop?


If its a desktop, do you have integrated (part of the motherboard) or discrete (card plugged into a slot in motherboard)  

networking controller?


Ususally Fedora (at least for the past several years) has had great support for ethernet controllers right 'out of the box'.


Have you used this particular machine with other operating systems and had the internet work correctly through through ethernet?


Did you create the Fedora bootable media yourself? Did you install Fedora yourself? Did you have the computer connected to the router through the ethernet cable while you did the install?


If you have a discrete networking card, you might need unusual drivers that the Fedora live media did not have.


If you did make the live media yourself, did you check the .iso file integrity before writing it?


Are other computers on the same network able to access the internet?
