I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/wynn_5ba0205233ebfc15

Please tell your printer model. If the printer has a touch screen support you can view the ip from network settings option on the printer. You can also see the ip of the printer by connecting it to your computer through a normal cable and going to its properties.

Wireless Method:

• Make sure your printer has wireless network adapters or a wireless router.

• Power on the printer and wireless router.

• Configure the printer to connect the wireless router.

--Enable the DHCP option on the printer. Obtain the IP address automatically.
--Configure the DHCP server of wireless router. Again, assign the IP address automatically.

• Verify connectivity. Try doing some test prints. If it doesn't work, check the IP addresses.

Network Method:

• Assign the printer to a wireless network. Go to "Start" and click on "Devices and Printers."

• Click on "Add a printer".

• Click on "Add a network, wireless or Bluetooth printer."

• Select the wireless printer from the list. Click "Next."

• Allow Windows to successfully connect the printer. Again, click "Next."

• Click "Finish" to complete the process. If you have multiple printers on your network, set this one as the default. Verify the connection by clicking "Print a test page."

If you are changing length(feed length) you may have to recalibrate the printer . Also ensure that your print format is the correct length for the stock.
You can look at the setup of the printer using the datamax-oneil printer configutation program, or if it is using IP connection, you can go directly to the internal web page for set up. make the cal length 3 times the label length, or leave at the default value.

To install the HP as a network printer you need to do the following -
1. Configure the HP's IP address so it matches the IP range of your network. eg if your IP's are 192.168.0.xxx then set the HP to a high number say 100.
2. Install the HP printer driver on your computer/s using the LPT printer port.
3. Connect the printer to the network hub/router and power up the printer.

You need to setup the HP printer the same way on every computer on your network.

hello Danj29,

I suggest you make sure that your Vista is configured to connect to a private network. To do this follow these steps:

1. Click Start, right-click Network, click Properties.
-The Network Sharing Center window displays the network type in parenthesis after the network name.

2. To the right of the network name and type click Customize.
3. In the Set Network Location dialog box, click Private, and then click Next.
4. In the Successfully set network settings dialog box, click Close

By changing your network location type to private, network discovery is automatically enabled in the Sharing and Discovery section of the Network and Sharing Center window. The following additional file and printer sharing options must be manually enabled:

• File sharing
  
• Public folder sharing
  
• Printer sharing
  
• Password protected sharing
  

When all of these sharing and discovery options are enabled, your computer can:

• Locate other computers and devices on your home network and have other computers locate your computer
  
• Share its folders
  
• Share its Public folder
  
• Share its printers
  
• Require user names and passwords for other computers that connect to the shared folders and printers of this computer
  

To enable file sharing, do the following:

1. In the Sharing and Discovery section of the Network and Sharing Center window, click the down arrow next to File sharing.
   
2. Within the File sharing settings, click Turn on file sharing, and then click Apply.
   

To enable public folder sharing, do the following:

1. In the Sharing and Discovery section of the Network and Sharing Center window, click the down arrow next to Public folder sharing.
   
2. Within the Public folder sharing settings, click one of the following:
   
   • If you want to share the public folder so that other computers on the network can access the Public share to open files, but not create or change files, click Turn on sharing so anyone with network access can open files. This is the default setting.
     
   • If you want to share the public folder so that other computers on the network can access the Public share to open files and also create or change files, click Turn on sharing so anyone with network access can open, change, and create files.
     
3. Click Apply.
   

To enable printer sharing and share all of your connected printers, do the following:

1. In the Sharing and Discovery section of the Network and Sharing Center window, click the down arrow next to Printer sharing.
   
2. Within the Printer sharing settings, click Turn on printer sharing, and then click Apply.
   

[Optional] To enable password protected sharing, do the following:
