@FiyaFly Are both of these systems on the same Home Group?

The laptop is not in a homegroup. The wifi is set to 'work' and Windows says it cannot join a homegroup until the network location is set to home.

Can you ping the printer?

I'll check once I regain access to the machine. Note that the printer never shows as offline to the laptop.

Still, make sure you can ping it. I've seen statuses do some screwy stuff with printers mapped by IP.

I can ping it. Just regained access

Once I can get ahold of someone onsite to close Event Viewer, I can keep finding more information. I am aware of Homegroups, I just have no current access to check due to Join.me.

@Bill-Kindle The workgroup is still labeled as WORKGROUP so I am going to assume that no changes have been made to construct any logical network. Just two computers and a printer hooked up to a router.

We have a client who is in a non-domain environment running Win7 home premium on 2 computers. I am told the printer they are connected to is networked and they are connecting to it that way.

They have a desktop and a laptop. The desktop can print to the printer just fine, however the desktop cannot access the laptop. The laptop says the printer is connected and online, but when attempting to send even a test page, the printer does not print it. Eventually the job times out and just says error. The printer never says it is offline, it just does not print.

Any ideas? I am in this pc through Join.me, which becomes a real pain when you try to access system windows. I cannot have mouse control when there is a system window open, such as Services (already tried restarting the print spooler) or Event Viewer(was going to see if anything showed up there)

They tell me they have already reinstalled the software for the printer.

My area is a little too rural to be able to run up, ring a doorbell, and get out of the 150ft driveways before someone notices. lol.

Took a late nap, so still awake. I do, however, have my electronics fully fuctional for tomorrow morning. This morning was a bit bumpy as I had to reseat the RAM in my laptop and restart my desktop. And my internet went out a few times today. Technology just has not liked me today.

Just now tested it. It states that it does not work with handwriting and has quite the issue reading off of a screen, so pretty much it will only work with printed text. Also, it does not really do the reduce thing too well. I pointed it at a sample problem of 2^30+2^30+2^30+2^30= ? and it gave me a whole number instead of a simplified version of the equation, which would be x^y.

It is pretty fancy, but also figure that the only people who will use it are students looking for answers in the book, and for a question like the one I posed above it will not give you the answer you are looking for. So, while this looks shiny, it does not work as well as it sounds and still has a long ways to go before automating the resolution of common textbook math problems.

I'll be aiming to attend.

Just cracked a Monster. Some mornings are starting to seem rather difficult to be any level of productive without them. lol.

Yeah, no kidding.

Excellent!

It also got approval from Steve Gibson- http://blog.lastpass.com/2010/07/lastpass-gets-green-light-from-security.html

Lastpass is my go-to utility for management. I can't really imagine going without it nowadays.

I chuckled. Just a little.

Man, I came into this thread with one in mind, but now there are like ten that rank pretty high to me. I guess I have been too disconnected to cereal recently. As far as all-time childhood favorite, Frosted Mini-Wheats. But every single one of these sound amazing now and I kind of want to go buy some cereal to eat. lol.

As far as the living on 'bare necesseties' I am in an apartment, with a chair, desk, and computer. Though food is usually a toss up and we aim for the cheapest solution. Usually Little Caesars.

The bottom of the barrel in terms of pizza quality, only just beating out cafeteria pizza.

Also the cheapest out of them all. lol.

The last time I saw a spider, he was crawling on my desk. He was just a lil' guy. Talked with him for about 20 minutes then set him outside.
