yes my friend, i was printing from my old pc (win xp 32bit), fire wall is open thus file sharing is working ok.
when i add printer the massage said: (windows can't connect to the printer)

anything show up in device manager ? something that needs an update and/or have you been to windows update lately ?

do you have a driver disc or can you go to the printer home page and look for a W7 friendly driver ?

 

[tariqmursi]

yes i have adriver disk for the printer but it can not install to win 7

 

[swifty_morgan]

so did you go to the printer manufacturers website and see if there's a driver for windows 7 ?
