You could configure a separator page.  The link below explains how to create one.  Next, go to the Advanced tab on the printer's properties page.  Click the the separator page button and select the one you created.

If you add the printer model and your operating system to this question, you should get better answers!\n\nMost printer programs will show you the levels in their troubleshooting screen.\n\nSometimes accessed by Control Panel > Printers & Faxes >\n\n*your printer* > \n\n(right click to) Printing Preferences >\n\n§§

Okay, the error "A Duplicate Name Exists on the Network" is given when two computers have the same "name" persay when you create a standard workgroup based network. You claim that none truly has the same name, but I find that hard to believe, it's possible, but it would be something I've never run into before. Not trying to call you stupid, and I apologize if this insults your level of expertise, I have to assume you know nothing in order to make sure I help you as much as possible. For an advanced answer and quick way to check if they truly have different names, go to the last paragraph.\n\nI'm going to assume you're using Windows XP. Open up "My Network Places". On the left hand side you'll see a menu, and one of the options will be "Create a Home or Small-Office Network" (NOT the wireless option one). Click through the wizard, selecting "This comptuer connects to the Internet through a residential gateway or through another computer." unless you know for sure it's something different. Click Next. On the next screen it'll ask for a Computer Description and Computer Name. MAKE SURE that the computer name is different for each computer. The description makes no difference. Click Next. On the next screen it asks for the Workgroup. Doesn't matter what you type in here, so long as you put in the same thing on every computer. I stick with the standard "MSHOME". Click Next, and on the next screen select "Turn ON file and printer sharing." Click Next, then Next again, and finally on the last screen select "Just Finish the wizard, I don't need to setup another computer, yada yada yada." Do this on each computer.\n\n\nADVANCED ANSWER: (For Windows XP or 2000) Right click on My Computer and click Properties (or go to Control Panel and then Select System). Click on the Computer Name tab up top. Check the "Full computer name" of each computer in question, and make sure they're unique. If they're not, click on the "Change" button. Input a unique computer name for each comptuer and make sure the workgroup is the same on every computer on the network, and click okay. You may need to restart your computer. If the problem still exists, you're beyond what I can help you with without actually being there in person.

What does the laptop have ? If you put your 2 computers in a workgroup with the same name, you can transfer files between provided you set up the appropriate shares.

We just installed a wired, network printer (same concept as a wireless printer-multiple computers 1 printer) and the manual stated that we had to run the setup software on each computer.  Of course if it is not hooked up to a network you will need a wireless adapter on/in your laptop.  What brand/model of printer and laptop?  That will help.\n\nI would suggest looking thru the setup part of the manual, odds are it is in there.  It was a 2 line paragraph in our manual, had to read it carefully (not skim) before I found it.

The simplest way to do that would be to physically connect the printer to one of the computers and share the printer so the other computers can print through that printer.\n\nAlternatively, if you don't want to connect any one computer to the printer, you can get a JetDirect print server. The 1200n comes with JetDirect already, though I don't think it is wireless. In any event, HP sells wireless JetDirect servers which would work with your printer.

You do not need a network server for this printer, basically from what I can find you for you you just make sure it has power plug the network cable into the router and into the printer,  then you will have to get the IP address from the printer as the printer uses DHCP to obtain an IP automatically, to get the ip of the printer simple press and release the continue button (>) and it should print a status page or something like. Check out the source I have provided below its pretty easy to follow and read.\n\nAnd I do believe you will need to run the software on each computer for them to be able to print without having to refer to another computer.

Go to printers & faxes - highlight the printer in question on the host machine. Right click and scroll down to sharing, click share this printer.\nThats all you need to do on the host machine.\nThe client machine needs to go to printers and faxes and add new printer, follow the wizard and all will be OK.\nHope this helps. If in doubt don't forget to use the F1 help key.

Need to make sure that each of the computers are on the same workgroup, you can find this out by right clicking on my computer and going to properties, then click the Computer name tab. This is where you can change the workgroup name, in order for file share to work they all have to be on the same workgroup, if this doesnt work, then run the network setup wizard again making sure to set all the computers on the same workgroup and make sure you enable file and print sharing.

The only way to do this is to have  wireless router that the desktop is connected to. That way if your laptop is wireless(most of them are now), you can print from the laptop to the desktop's printer with no problem. I do it all the time. \n\nThomas\nwww.yourhomestudio.com\n\nFree Home Studio Newsletter  - addme@yourhomestudio.com

Ok, did you try and print multiple copies and/or, do you keep switching the printer off before it can finished the printout?\n\nWhen you send something to print, it first of all goes the print queue on the computer. From here it is sent the printer which buffers what you have sent and begins printing.\n\nIf you change your mind about wanting it printed - and even delete the document - then until the print queue is empty and the printer buffer is empty, it will still be seen as a "thing to get on with"\n\nFirst off all - and easiest, if the print is only a couple of pages  / couple of copies, let it get on with it.\n\nIf you might have told it to print LARGE numbers - and if there are many pages then:--\n\n1. Open the printer queue - bottom right near clock sometimes, on Control panel always.\n\n2. Select printer and then remove / delete ALL documents there\n\n3. Switch off printer, leave off for a few seconds\n\nIf the printer STILL tries to print, then do steps 1-3 again and then before turning printer back on, also reset PC. this stage SHOULDN'T be required - but a few months ago I had a problem where the print queue would be "topped" back up again from something that was presumably running in background without showing up on the taskmanager. Resetting PC stopped the problem.\n\nIf STILL you have a problem, do another question  but detail make of printer, op system and what you have tried so far - along with how many pages the coument is - and how mayn copies you think it might want to be printing!\n\n\n** Be wary of just resetting PC without killing the print queue first - you might then find the printer is happy to print REAMS worth of jibberish as it has lost the header from the print file **

If you right-click on the printer (or folder) that you wish to share, the pop-out menu should list a "Sharing" option.  This is where you can enable Printer (or File) Sharing.  Do you not see this option?

looks more like a HP driver issue. update the drivers to the latest version that you can download from HP's site. \n\nif that dosen't solve the problem, try submitting a query on hp's site, and hope they get around to fixing the bug. \n\ntill then i guess you will have to log off from your user before trying to print from another users login. \n\nyou didnt mention which application you were trying to print form. also try unchecking the hp preview box, let the printing application generate its own preview. maybe that would work..

At "A" computer, right click the xyz folder - Properties - Sharing - Share this folder - Share Name: give any name and put $ at the end e.g. xyz$ - OK). Now, ask owner of "C" computer to access the shared folder by\n\nStart - Run - &#92;&#92;computerC&#92;xyz$ - OK\n\nHere computerC denotes the network computer name of "C" computer.\n\nGood Luck :)

The printer should switch on even if not connected to the computer. The computer connection is only to transfer "data"... meaning your documents, files etc. which need to be printed.\n\nDouble check the power connection. Press the "on" button on the printer harder. If it still doesn't come on then there is some problem with the printer and call the company for help.
