| 1121726 | 2010-07-25 12:08:00 | Ok. So even from 2k when you go to add printer / select network, does the printer connected to Windows 7 appear here, or not? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1121727 | 2010-07-26 00:36:00 | Yes 2k finds the printer on Win7 fine and tries to connect but can't load driver for the reasons I have already stated. | berryb (99) | ||
| 1121728 | 2010-07-26 00:38:00 | Oh well sounds like something isnt configured properly. Or you've missed something. Because, it should work | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1121729 | 2010-07-26 01:29:00 | Yes 2k finds the printer on Win7 fine and tries to connect but can't load driver for the reasons I have already stated. LOL, had this before, when you select have driver and browse to the inf, then next and the compatible printers list is blank?...can you remove the tick for compatible printer and force your driver.....check if xp & 2k are driver signing force from control panel! If still no luck, windows 7 allows for additional drivers to be installed, have a look on the share tab for the printer |
