JL2008 Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 I was able to connect to a shared Samsung 2160 with my Windows 7 laptop 2 weeks ago at work. I haven't been able to connect to this printer since last week. When I try to print, nothing happens. I try to connect to another shared Samsung 2160. It looks like its going to connect. And then it says that the path is wrong. I tried to connect to PC by entering the PC name in the Run box. Says the path is wrong. I am still able to connect to these printers via desktop. My laptop & desktop where the printer is plugged both have Workgroup as the workgroup name. I have Norton Security. It found 50 viruses last week which I cleaned. And I am connected to the internet when I try to connect to these shared printers. I have some ideas. Like changing the workgroup name of the laptop. Trying to connect by creating a local port. Installing the drivers and then trying to connect. Anyone else has anymore ideas? Quote
RandyL Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 Is this a CLX-2160n? If so you might find something in the manual, section 4. http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/200812/20081215154056890/Guide_EN.pdf Quote We are all members helping other members.
