So it's the old annual Please Fix my Computer week, my relatives have a Windows 7 laptop that can't see a Samsung laser printer. Another laptop can and can print to it. An iPad can print to it.

The setup app automatic search can't find it. I gave the setup app the printer IP address and server name. No love. Any clues?

Your labtop probably doesn't have the drivers for the printer. Usually Windows 7 can search for them it self, but sometimes it can't. Go to Samsung's website, and download the drivers for the printer.

I had this issue at work. Had the IP address and everything.  I had to go manually download the driver. What you could also do is plug the labtop directly into the Samsung device by USB cord, and see if that installs the drivers. Most printers, USB harddrives, Mouse, Keyboards, ect; have the drivers on the device and will load automatically that way.

Is it having issues only over wifi? Have you tried a wired connection?

The main issues with Windows (Any version) is the driver. Are you using the latest and /or 64 bit drivers if available?

Were you using the setup app from the printer, or the "add a printer" from Control Panel?

I had a similar problem a few weeks ago when replacing a printer on my home network (new Epson printer).  On my laptop (Windows 7 Home Premium), the Epson installation software would install the drivers, etc., but it wouldn't see the printer.

I think I finally got it to work by adding the IP address directly into Add Printer -> Add a network printer -> "The printer I wanted isn't listed" -> "Add a printer using a TCP/IP address or home name" then put in the IP address in the box on the next screen.

If it's not seeing the IP address as a valid address, then I suspect there's some sharing issues with the network (the new laptop doesn't have permission to see everything on your network):

-On another computer (one that sees the printer), go to Control Panel -> Devices and Printer -> right click on the printer, select "Printer Properties," select the Sharing tab, and make sure that the "share this printer" box is checked.

-then see if the new laptop can see it.

OK, it works now. I was using the setup program, input the ip, server name, search for printer, nothing. Disabled the firewall, repeat, nothing.

So I gave it the three bloody finger salute and rebooted, ran the setup program again and the search for printer worked. Gave it the rubbish middle finger salute.

Thanks for all the suggestions though - they will be useful next time I run into this again.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      Hitting some good shots on my golf trip. It's good I can tell when I hit better shots the way I want to swing the ball versus when I use an older swing. Shockingly, the short game has been at worst, not harmful to my game. I am using similar feels to the full swing, in that I try to get my hands down. I've been nipping the ball clean off the turf.

      How Much do You Exercise?

      By mdl ·

      I was laid off two months ago. Good severance, a 90 day layoff announcement regulation the company wanted to avoid so technically I'm still on the payroll for a few weeks, and a bunch of banked PTO, so I'm in a great spot and working on a startup idea I've been batting around with my brother for a while. That means I've got time to get to the gym! I'm at like 60-75 minutes 5x a week of strength training, and either a run or a bunch of time playing soccer or tennis with my daughter on the weekends. Stronger than I've been in forever. Up ~5 pounds of (noticeable!) muscle!

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By Big C ·

      A bit of background. The Southern California Golf Association (SCGA) runs an annual event known as "Team Play." It is a wildly popular match play competition where Men's Clubs across the region put together teams of 20+ golfers together to compete against other clubs in a 16 vs. 16 match. In any given year, approximately 80-100 clubs will participate. Each club is grouped into "pods" of 4, and will play 6 total matches - one home and one away match against the other 3 clubs. The winning club from each pod advances to the Team Play Playoffs - a single elimination format - until a winner is crowned.  Antelope Valley Country Club just advanced to the championship match for the 3rd consecutive year. They won the championship in both 2022 and 2023.  Based on my review of the match history from the past 3 years (linked below), they have won 21 consecutive team matches. Keep in mind, these are handicapped matches, so this is not just a case where a group of sticks bands together to dominate the poor amateurs other SoCal clubs. Even if these guys are grinders who never quit, play their best under pressure and routinely putt the lights out, the law of averages still say that a streak of that nature is mathematically impossible.  Is there any plausible explanation beyond institutionalized sandbagging throughout the club?
