AARRGGHH!
Why can I ping my printer but not print to it across the LAN? Wired connection... Windows XP laptop. HP6700. HP6700 running dhcp connected at 192.168.0.10. And I checked for printer firmware update and installed.... I can of course walk upstairs and plug in via USB and it will print readily. But I need this to work and want to know why it won't.
When I ran Windows Troubleshoot utility it gave a message indicating a conflict with the laptop name??? So I went to My computer properties tab and changed the name back to the default name "doug-9bbf1bb766"
Folders are set to shared.... Very annoying...
One interesting tidbit.... "My Network Places" will not open... and several days ago I locked myself out of both my email and web browser by accidentally hiding entire file directories...may be unrelated....
