Connecting Two Machines Wirelessly for a Dummy Wannabe!
flatbed scanner on my tablet. It does not have a DVD drive. A friend suggested connecting the desktop where I installed the Canon app to my tablet, then running it remotely or installing it.
I have never done this before. I am not having much luck. I tried this:
Desktop Side
HP Pavilion Desktop PC 570-p0xx
Start > Connect>
This device does not support Mirrocast
Tablet Side
Start menu > Connect>
desktop-UR80KTK is ready for you to connect wirelessly.
So given this I wonder if this track just will not work? They will not “pair”?
The other thought was copying the app off the desktop to a flash drive then installing it on the tablet.
I stalled out on that idea too. I was not sure which files to copy, if they are keyed to the desktop, etc, so I stopped there to try the direct connect idea.
What is driving this is that I have a lot delicate flatbed work. The desktop workstation is already overflowing. I want to put the scanner on a table I have on the opposite side of room. I could save the files to that HD and transfer them directly to the desktop if they will connect? Or alternately save them to a flash drive and sneaker-net them?
BTW. I am not running a router, but have a couple from the Neolithic Age that I uses as closet-fill.
Any direction will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for any thoughts.
