<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a network of 3 computers. &nbsp;<br />
- One has a printer installed via USB and it's shared<br />
- one other can print to the shared printer just fine.<br />
- but the third computer can't print to that printer. &nbsp;It gets: &quot;Test page failed to print&quot;<br />
Or, if I drage a .txt document to the printer in the Printers and Faxes window, I get a message: &quot;cannot access your printer&quot;.<br />
But, I *can* double click on the printer and see the queue including print jobs from other workstations.<br />
I have turned off the firewalls.<br />
I have reinstalled this printer many times to no avail.<br />
<br />
This is an HP Officejet 6210<br />
<br />
I do note that this printer does not show up on the list of printers that could be installed when just trying to install it.<br />
I wonder how to force a printer to show up on the list of available printers for install? &nbsp;But that is another question I guess.<br />
<br />
I need to get this fixed quickly!!

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.

Windows Vista is an operating system created by Microsoft as the successor to Windows XP. It was intended for PCs, workstations and laptops, and shares the same code base as its successor, Windows 7. New features included an updated graphical user interface (GUI) and visual style dubbed Aero, a new search component called Windows Search, redesigned networking, audio, print and display subsystems, and new multimedia tools. Vista aimed to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network, using peer-to-peer technology to simplify sharing files and media between computers and devices. Windows Vista included version 3.0 of the .NET Framework, allowing software developers to write applications without traditional Windows APIs.
