Manage updates with the Download App
hi..can someone help me please??..im having this problem...i have 3 desktop..two PC is having a win7 32bit and the other one is 64bit..i install the printer LX-300+II(dot matrix) on the 64bit win7...then of course the three desktop is on a network...the 32bit win7 is the admin..then the 64bit win7 and the 32bit admin can print on the dot matrix..but the other 32bit cannot..both of those 3 desktop are shared..workgroup name is same..sharing properties is same for both 32bit..and both 32bit can connect to the printer and can detect..when i tried to print its just qeue and comes with the word "spooling"..but when i tried printing on a laser printer it prints..but on the dot matrix it cannot print...
ways i tried:
1.check the port/ethernet the UTP cables plug out plug in and wait like around 20 secs. then connect again.
2.reinstall the driver on the 32bit that doesnt print.
3.remove device then add printer again.
4.did a windows update.
5.check if same workgroup.
6.check if shared and with same location and can access both 3 desktop.
7.check the permissions.
8.restart the computer.
9.troubleshooting the printer.
10.make sure there's a network connection.
IP address doesn't have because its a USB port and not suported by the OS..
3 desktop on a network...two 32bit win7 one win7 64bit..
32bit and 64 bit can print on the dot matrix and laser printer but the other 32bit cannot print on the matrix but can print on the laser..when printing its just qeue with spooling..

You claim you installed drivers but from where?

Q:
Can this printer emulate an IBM printer?
A:
Yes. The printer emulates the IBM 2380 Plus.
Try that as maybe you'll find drivers for that other printer.
Epson does not list Windows 7 as compatible

And folk on the Epson site have posted complaints about that.
Maybe there is a native Epson driver in Windows or you can try it as an IBM
I am not talking about any network permission issues yet as I didn't find this supported on Windows 7. In other words, you may want to add more details about how you setup your network permissions.

The other issues.

If there is a firewall in the router or machines along with user permission issues you will see this happen.
Be sure to sic your IT staffer on these issues as it's a little beyond the home user.

In windows networking, everyone means those with an account.
For a test run try enabling the GUEST account. If you forgot how, a link follows.

There are also issues about when you create a share on the host then add users later. My tip is to add the accounts before creating the share.

I'm losing count how many times. Be sure to check the router for firewalls as well.

Networking in Windows as well as shares seem to task the IT folk that don't do this everyday. I've covered the basics but can't cover every area as at some point it exceeds what I can type in this small box.
Did you try enabling the Guest account on the machine that hosts and serves up the printer?
P.S. Unshare the printer, enable, reboot, re-share the printer (or else.)
Are you exceeding FIVE (5) machines in this network?
