Question Win10 laptop can't find network printer

Hi Jack, why did you feel the need to instruct me in HIPAA, law firms and computer networks? I never mentioned health services or HIPAA and I never mentioned what kind of law my wife's small three lawyer firm does. How did you conclude that this is the solution to my problem with no evidence...

Question Win10 laptop can't find network printer

It's a small law firm, they have an offsite consultant for IT issues who, as my wife frequently complains, does as little as possible. As far as my wife knows it has nothing more on it than an off the shelf model but I've decided that it is an issue with this particular laptop. I have done as...

Question Win10 laptop can't find network printer

One more interesting data point. I was able to bring a Dell laptop running Win10 home from work for the night. I went to Printers and Devices, clicked on Add Printer and within 5 seconds it had found the printer and was ready to add it. This was on wifi, sitting at the same table as the HP...

Question Win10 laptop can't find network printer

Thanks everyone for the help and suggestions. First I tried enabling SMBv1 suggested by mxnerd. That did nothing, the printer still couldn't be found. VirtualLarry, yes, out of the box I set up the printer for wireless connectivity but had many problems, intermittent connections with multiple...

Question Win10 laptop can't find network printer

mxnerd, that's an interesting conversation, interesting because originally I set up the printer with wifi connectivity. I had numerous problems that came and went just like that person but the problem I described above with my wife's laptop was the same, it just could not find the printer. I...

Question Win10 laptop can't find network printer

mxnerd, it is a Color Laserjet MFP M281fdw, just bought from Costco. I'll try SMBv1 when I have access to the laptop, it's my wife's work computer and she is using it.

Question Win10 laptop can't find network printer

Thanks for your replies. Muadib, JackMDS explained my understanding of what I've done. The printer is connected to the router with a cable, so the laptop wifi should connect with the printer through my router wifi. And the printer wifi is off. razel, the laptop's network profile is set to...

First, apologies if this isn't the right forum. It's both hardware and software and seems to be a Win10 or a network issue so I'm posting here and in the Windows forum. I just bought a new HP color laserjet all in one printer. It's connected via ethernet cable through a desktop switch, then...

ElFenix, I have not "attacked" any of the moderator staff in anything I've written as far as I can tell. Saying that I'm baffled by the confrontational replies I received to a very specific question is hardly an attack in any way or form. If you are referring to something else I've written...

But if ya'll will read again my original post I'm NOT asking for rainbows and unicorns. I'm trying to avoid, as you said, a new system build that is DEAD, DEAD, DEAD until I manage to put in a supported CPU. I'm not like a lot of you that have built many PCs but I have built 4 of them over the...

How can I be sure a mobo supports Ryzen 3400g before buying?

Rarely does having a non current bios mean you can't even use the mobo, you know that. And yes, I want some kind of guarantee of compatibility if that compatibility means the system won't function, I bet you want that too. And wanting to avoid having a non functional system is not the same...

I think it's amusing that your first reply to me ended with "you'll have to roll the dice" and then you follow that by telling me I'm wrong for saying I don't want to roll the dice. And of course this problem could exist with AMD and Intel, but I'm not worried about theoretical questions, I'm...

Yes, I could have, but I didn't. The other thread was narrowly focused on one build, this is a broader question about motherboards in general. It seemed better to me to create something new where that question would be more appropriate and hopefully get a larger audience. The more I research...

How can I be sure a mobo supports Ryzen 3400g before buying?

I'm aware that motherboards need a bios update to support the new 2nd gen Ryzen chips. I've read that if you buy a mobo that needs an update you have to have another Ryzen cpu to install on the mobo in order to do the update. I'm considering building a pc with the new 3400g chip but I don't...

Thanks for the replies, I didn’t know the 3400g was available yet definitely worth $20 more. Good information about the SSD and power supply. I’ll be revising some things.

That pretty much explains it. I'm running Win 7 enterprise and using Chrome browser. When I come to a forum I can't see anything that distinguished a thread that I've read and one that is unread, they are all the same color and appearance. It's a time waster to not be able to quickly identify...

I'm getting ready to build a new PC within the the next month. My last build, a Q6600, has lasted me for more than 7 years, so you can see that I generally am not a serial upgrader. My philosophy is to try and hit just below the bleeding edge to get good performance and long life without the...

full tower case with top edge controls like Fractal R5

You all make good points. I have a usable optical drive in the old PC that I can recycle, so my cost is zero. But if I build a new PC without one and then need one what is my cost in money and time when I don't have one available? Like I said, if I were going small I wouldn't think twice...

full tower case with top edge controls like Fractal R5

Even though I don't use it often I want to have an optical drive, so I guess I don't absolutely need it but I want it. If I were going small I'd eliminate it but if you're using a full sized case it seems like you might as well use the space, even if it is for something you don't use often...

Opinions on my build vs buying from Costco
