Hello guys..
Home network, wireless connecting to the router

Having problems here,  My printer is connected to the windows XP computer pro/sp3
I have no problems printing from the Vista machine.

But terriable problems printing from the Windows 7 64 bit machine.
I have downloaded the driver's for LEXMARK X1270 for windows 7 64 bit,  but it just won't connect..

I have done searches, and found there are problems with windows 7 connecting to a network printer.
I have been trying some solutions, but to know avail......

Can anyone help me with this problem........I didn't read the whole tutorial, but I think this is close to what you're talking about.
It starts off talking about connecting a 32bit Windows machine to a 64bit Windows machine w/shared printer, but farther down it talks about connecting 64bit Windows machine to a 32bit Windows machine w/shared printer..

assume the computers are call XPMACHINE and W7MACHINE.

1) Ensure Printer on XP machine is shared - assume it's called SHAREDPRINTER.

2) On the Network Browsing on your Windows 7 machine ensure you can "SEE" the Printer share.

Now on the Windows 7 machine do the following (doesn't matter if it's X-86 or x-64).

3) Control Panel==> add LOCAL (Yes LOCAL) printer. I know it's on a Network but hold your horses -- what we are actually doing is "Poodlefaking" the Windows 7 machine into thinking it's running the printer.

4) Create NEW port==>Local port

5) PORTNAME is \\XPMACHINE\SHAREDPRINTER

6) Now Windows 7 will load a driver and you'll be able to print on the XP machine.

Simple

(For a "Network STAND alone printer") at 4) chose TCPIP port
and at 5) enter the IP address.

Ignore the above post.
