While adding my printer as
instructed in Windows 95, I
received a message stating
that Printer could not be
found.
Some printer drivers, when configured as Local Printer,
will poll the printer to see if it is connected.
Since the printer is networked, the printer can not be
detected. To fix this, perform the following:
1. Select Network printer when asked "How is the
printer attached to your computer?"
2. Then when prompted for "Network Path or Queue
name" enter a dummy value such as \\123 and
select Next.
3. The printer wizard will display a message stating
that "The Network Printer is off-line". This is OK.
Continue to install the printer as normal.
4. When finished, go to Control Panel-Printers and
select your printer. The printer icon will be greyed
out indicating the printer is not ready.
5. Select Properties - Details.
In the Print to the following port box, select Print
Server (PrintServer).
6. Click Apply, then OK, then close the Properties
window.
Select the printer and go to the File menu. Check
the Work off-line option is OFF.
7. If the printer is connected and powered On, the
printer icon should no longer be greyed out, and
you should be able to print.
I connected and configured
a WPS (Windows Printing
System) printer as
described, but I can't get the
print job to print.
WPS printer drivers poll the printer before sending print
data. Since the printer is networked, the printer is not
found and no data is sent. The solution is to add your
printer as a network printer as described in Solution 2
above. The following is a list of a few common WPS
printers:
Canon LBP-430W
Epson ActionLaser 1300/W, Epson EPL-5500/W
HP LaserJet 5L
Lexmark WinWriter Series
NEC SuperScript series
Olivetti PG304
Samsung MyLaser Series
