Cannot print on a Brother printer after Windows Update

We share the same brother MFC-8660DN on a network (Win XP x 4 & Win 2008 Server x 1), everything was fine until yesterday (16/09/10). 2 XP computers cannot print (Status: printing error) just after the recent update of windows installation (windows auto update has been set for each week). When we tried to print to the brother printer, he would be stuck in queue for a minute and a bubble pop up "document cannot be printed." 2 computers work fine otherwise. Everything works normoally and can be printed to another printer like Canon. (PS: I tried to uninstall and reinstall the brother printer driver, but no luck the question of setting)

On the other hand, the other 2 XP did not have an update, and so they can't always print on the Brother printer. Also, Win 2008 server doing a windows update auto but print very well so.

Therefore, I believe that the update of windows XP must have something to do with the printing error. Is there a fix or update? Alternatively, we can uninstall the recent windows update (only one?) to solve this problem? I'm not sophisticated OS, do not know what could be uninstalled. Help, please!

I received a call from a client 2010-Sep-16 that they could no longer print
on a network printer from any workstation.

Workstations have Vista Business 32 and have been updated morning of September 16.

The server is Server2003 & printing it still worked well.

Printers using IP ports very well for more than 2 years.
Fix was to use instead of the intellectual property & create ports with the full share name.

The IP address of the printer had not changed AND
I couldn't always navigate with IE8 (using IP address)
printer see printer configuration data

Workstations are Server 2003 domain

This trick of name full-fledged was how I had to put in place
Vista Home Premium workstations
to use network printers in home networks.

Why Vista Business "updated" settings for Home Premium?
Is this a permanent 'update '?

Why no matter what version of VISTA do this?
Windows 7 has the same problem?

With Vista Business 32 (short-term)? solution was to change the port to a local port with full sharing of the printer name

See you soon

    My printer will not respond after installation of recent updates. Remiain of items in the queue for printing and the caanot be deleted. I tried Mr. Fixit for printer problems, but it just crashes evenn after leaving 2 hours to run! I tried the system restore, but I just get a message saying "unknown error found no changes."

    I can solve the problem by resetting the PC to the settings to factory, but when I load these recent windows updates again that the problem comes back.

    Help, please!

    Hello

    What updates caused the problem to occur?

    Look for updates in the update history.

    a. open Windows Update by clicking on the button start. In the search box, type Update, and then in the list of results, click Windows Update.

    (b) in the left pane, click view update history.

    c. to display more information about an update, double-click it.

    I suggest that you realize the following methods and check if they help to solve the problem.

    Method 1:

    (a) click Start, go to control panel

    (b) select system and Maintenance

    (c) select administrative tools

    (d) double click on Services

    (e) in the services list, scroll down until you find one called "print spooler".

    (f) make a right clic on "Print spooler" and "restart".

    (g) "suppression" of work will be lost and all work queued in your queue will print.

    Method 2:

    I would completely uninstall and reinstall Epson SX215 printer driver package.
     
    a. open devices and printers, click the Start button, and then click the start menu, click devices and printers.

    b. right-click on the printer you want to remove, click on remove the device and then click Yes.

    If you can't delete the printer, right-click again, click Run as administrator, click on remove the device and then click Yes.

    Need administrator permission if you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    c. now, reinstall the printer . Note: Valid link also for Windows Vista.

    Method 3:

    If the above didn't help, restore settings PC and install the updates one by one and refrain from installing the update (although not recommended) which is the origin of the problem.

  • OfficeJet 5745: Cannot print after update of Windows 10

    I've updated to Windows 10 and now have problems printing.  Help!  I've done all the troubleshooting, coil status stuff!  I'm used to be able to print from the internet, scanning to my computer or email and print wireless from my phone.  I now can not print anything!  I tried to install Windows updates.  Should what printer I configure default network or regular?  Use the printer pdf microsoft thing?  I am desperate... saved my bank statement online (pdf) to my documents and it would not print the Bank or my documents!  Before this I had problems after that my hard drive crashed and I got a new hard drive.   When my hard drive crashed I was using WINDOWS 10 and everything on the big printer worked; they sent back with new hard drive on windows 8.1 and I had I thought that the upgradew would solve the questions.   I could print and scan but no wireless for my phone on the new HDD in windows 8.1 and upgrade to 10 thought would solve my problems, but now it's worse... Help!

    Hi @savra,

    If your computer is connected to the printer on a wireless network, you do not want to send print jobs to the network printer.

    Here is a support document to help with printer after Windows 10 upgrade problems - after Windows 10 Upgrade, printer problems occur.

    Aside to make sure Windows updates are up to date, there are a few other updates that can help with printing.

    Microsoft has released an update that is supposed to help with wireless printing - Cumulative Update for Windows 10.

    There was also an update for Adobe Flash Player in Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge who can help get this impression of your bank's site - Update for Adobe Flash Player.

    Please let me know how it goes.

  • Cannot print using Windows 7 using HP Deskjet 842C series

    I cannot print from windows 7 using HP Deskjet 842 C series.  Windows and HP said is compatible, it can only print from other applications and not Windows 7.  Any suggestions?

    In fact - what HP means without out and say what they deem a legacy device (printer) and even if they included a universal driver (Microsoft put in Windows 7) and it should work without doing you anything else - it is perhaps not fully functional as it was in previous operating systems where they (HP) it supported.

    HP in this case is the manufacturer of the equipment and in all related case material - the hardware manufacturer is responsible for the materiel support (drivers, software, etc.)

    You can follow the advice of HP, if you want to:

    But really what they're trying to say is, "your printer is old - buy a new one from us so that we can stay in business."

  • Cannot connect to internet after Windows Update

    I was not able to connect to the internet after windows updates 7 of 14 October 2010, unless I have to restore the system to October 13.

    Hi jlm00926,

    ·        Update that you installed before the problem?

    ·        Are you able to connect to the internet properly now?

    You can set up your computer in a clean boot state. Subsequently, download & install the update manually from the Microsoft Download Center.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx

    Clean boot will start Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs and helps eliminate software conflicts.

    The following link has steps showing how to perform the clean boot: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

  • Good question after Windows update on Satellite P100 PSPA3E

    I encountered a problem with my sound card after a Windows Update. It became an old analog tuner with problems of dust on his volume knob. (this is a reference "sounds like" for those old enough to remember) I updated the driver to the most recent DriverGuide.com, no joy.

    I even did a complete system restore "with the"product restore disk."" Which fixed the problem until Windows updated the right files for trash again. I don't know what files do the dirty on my card since most of the windows system updates are performed while I "continue to work! Anyone with ideas?

    Thank you

    JD

    Hello

    What operating system do you use? XP or Vista?

    Satellite P100 PSPA3E must use a sound chip Intel high definition audio Conexant CX20551-22.

    I recommend to remove the sound card in Device Manager after installing Windows updates.
    Then restart the computer and install the latest audio drivers available that support the sound chip HD Conexant CX20551-22.

    First of all, you should try to use the driver for the Toshiba page. If this does not work, check the Intel page!
    Please don t forget to restart the laptop after windows update finished.
