Windows 10: How do I print from wifi on my laptop after removing USB connection?

Hello, I hope you are doing well. I am unable to print from any Office 365 apps on my laptop after disconnecting the USB connection and connecting to wifi. I am able to print emails from Google Chrome on my laptop, and I can print from the MS apps on my iPhone but not my Windows laptop. I have Windows 10 on my laptop.When I try to print from Word on my laptop, for example, it says the printer is offline and next to “where” it says USB001. It is as if it is still looking for the USB port. Is anyone able to help please?

:)

Connection drops with USB Wifi adapter

Hi everyone, since my laptop if far from my NetGear access point, I bought an external USB Wifi Adapter with antenna and it reaches very well my AP. Ookla Speedtest says the same speed as the wire connected devices. The problem is when the download speed reaches its maximum rate (about 9 / 9.5 MB/s): the adapter stops downloading, ping to the router fails and the wifi icon on the tasktray turns into the world icon (no connection). I have to unplug the USB adapter and replug it or disconnect the wifi connection and reconnect it to have it working again. If i take my laptop near the AP and use the internal Wifi connection, it doesn't happen, it never disconnects. I made a try with another laptop and the problem is the same. I think the problem is the wifi adapter, I already sent back it to Amazon and bought another one, with no luck. The chipset of the USB adapter is Realtek 8812BU. My Windows version is Windows 10 Pro 21H2 (build SO 19044.1415). Do you have any suggestion? Thanks

 

Connect USB Scanner and USB Printer via WiFi for home PC's

Hello All !

I am seeking for your advice in order to setup a configuration at home so that I could provide the ability to

• print on my old Samsung CLP-300 USB printer (no Wifi feature), and
• scan from my old Canon Lide 60 USB scanner (no wifi)

from the several Win10 computers I have at home -- those are not easily physically connected to those devices but are on Wifi.

I was thinking on some Rasberry Pi device to connect both printer and scanner to, and make them available via its Wifi to the PC's I have at home. Is that a crazy idea or has it a reasonable chance to work ? The aspect that scares me off quite a bit is the setup of these peripherals on the RasPi especially as some tailored Linux (Raspbian ?) is recommended and I seriously doubt to be able to find the adequate Linux drivers for my rather old peripherals... And I didn't buy the RasPi yet !

I could also use an old Win7 laptop as shared device I guess, but that would require managing that PC, power on/off, etc.

Thanks for your advice !
