This will result in two printers being installed: One USB and one over the network.

The Windows 7 system should find the driver that was installed previously and continue from there. Try to add the printer again the same way before. Once the driver is installed through Windows Update, reconnect the printer to the Windows XP system.

If there is a driver available, Windows Update should download it accordingly. Wait a few minutes for Windows auto detection to complete. Temporarily connect the printer to the Windows 7 system with a USB cable. That means the driver for it would only be available through Windows Update.

The product specification sheet does indicate that it will work with Windows 7. The only driver download I could find for this printer from HP was for Windows XP. Is the printer connected to the desktop computer (with Windows XP) through a USB cable?Īre you installing the printer on the Windows 7 by having the Windows XP system share it? I can connect the printer directly to the new laptop via a USB port and it recognizes, installs, and works fine.īut, I need it connected permanently to the desktop, and accessible from the laptop when it is connected to the WLAN.Ĭan anyone tell me how I can get my new laptop to locate the driver files on when connecting through the WLAN, please? I have an older HP laptop running Windows XP, which has always connected to the printer through the WLAN just fine. I have tried to locate the driver file manually, but with no success. When I add a printer on the laptop, it shows on the list of available printers on the select a printer screen, but when it tries to connect, it comes back with a message, "cannot find driver for HP Deskjet 5600 series on the network." I'm trying to connect to the printer through my home network WLAN operating through a Netgear Wireless-N 150 router WNR1000. I've just bought a Dell Inspiron N4110 laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit. I have HP Deskjet 5650 color printer connected to Dell Dimension 2400 desktop running Windows XP Home Edition Ver 2002 SP3.
