Communication not available with Lexmark 3600-4600 printer in Windows 7

I recently updated my laptop from Vista to Windows 7 Home Premium.

Since then I can't print anything on my Lexmark printer. The laptop recognizes the printer and everything seems normal until about 5 seconds after I click Print I get an error message (see link below)

http://img256.imageshack.us/i/desktopvh.PNG/

I tried everything listed on this message. I tried using the Service Center Lexmark who suggested adding the 2 exe files to my exceptions list on my firewall I did. I even tried printing with the firewall off the coast. I've updated the drivers from the Lexmark support site and again, I get the same message.

Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.

Problem solved for Lexmark 3600-4600 series printer:
I managed to solve the problem with the series of printers Lexmark 3600-4600 today. The standard user account that I was using was corrupted during the upgrade from vista to windows7 therefore could not print. Under the admin user, I was able to print. I also created a new standard user account and it worked (I was able to print). According to experts windows7 upgrade corrupts the existing user account. Therefore, set up a new user account and try to print, it should work.

  • "communication not available with the printer" message when you try to print to a Lexmark 1270 x all-in-one

    I am running windows xp family.  I don't know what happened, but all of a sudden, I get this message when I try and print to my lexmark x 1270 "communication not available with the printer. I tried every troubleshooter, I contacted Lexmark support that they gave up, saying: it must be a file is missing from the windows registry, you can help me?

    It seems that if you say that the pilots were not reinstalled successfully.  What was the mystery file that could not be found?

    Do you remember how the software has been uninstalled?  Was something else than the control panel > Add / Remove Programs (or the link "Uninstall" from start > all programs) used?

    If you do not really clean things, attempts to reinstall the printer drivers may actually just end up putting the old drivers back in place.

    This is the easiest way to uninstall and reinstall the printer drivers: Article 1.  The critical step is #4.

    This page has more detailed advice for cleaning things out before you reinstall: http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/CleanPrinterDrivers.htm

    I asked the firewall and antivirus applications because sometimes, some security software may interfere with the printers.  This shouldn't be a problem with the firewall of Windows XP and Microsoft Security Essentials.

    Finally, your problem could end up being hardware related.  Lexmark support has no hardware troubleshooting operation?  The manual for your x 1270 says:

    All-in-One is not communicating with the computer

    1. disconnect and reconnect both ends of the USB cable. For more help, see the
    installation documentation.
    2 unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, plug it in again, and
    Press Power. For more information, refer to the installation documentation.
    3 restart the computer. If the problem continues, remove and then reinstall
    the software. For more information, see page 16. [which ask you to remove the software using the link "Uninstall" - which is not complete, as described above]

    If you have another type of printer USB cable, you should try it exchanges.  Ideally, you need to connect to the printer on another computer, but maybe it's not convenient for you.

    You recently reinstall the operating system? If so, have you installed the drivers in the order?
    How to download and install drivers in the correct order

    First run delete print jobs to remove all print jobs stuck in the queue.

    Unplug the printer.

    Download and run the patch (cleaning printer utility) until it prompts you to restart your computer.

    Restart your computer.

    Now you can install the printer using the Dell Printer 924 disc.

    Link to the patch/drivers(if needed) is to...

    Dell 924 Photo-All - In - One Printer owners thread (W7)

    Don't forget the programs anti-virus and firewall will block communications.

    Also try this tweak...

  • Error message: not available with this Apple ID update

    App Store displays the available updates, but after choosing "Update", the error message starts "Update not available with this Apple ID" appears. All of the applications in question were purchased with the current Apple ID.

    Mac Pro (2008), 10.11.4

    Please test after each of the steps that you have not already tried it. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes. Remember, no one here is Apple or can help in problems of service the customer.

    Step 1

    If you have recently changed something in your Apple ID account (for example, the password), log out of the App Store and reconnect.

    Step 2

    A purchased app can only be updated by logging into the App Store with the same identifier Apple which was originally used to buy it. There is no way around this restriction, which applies also to the free applications. If you can not connect to help ID the buyer, remove the app and reinstall it. You will have to pay for it, once again, as appropriate.

    Step 3

    If you receive the alert when you try to update a grouped iLife application, select the shopping page in the App Store and find the application in your purchase history. If there is a button marked ACCEPT on the right, click on it.

    If you have a used Mac, bundled apps related to Apple ID of the original owner and may apply to you. Reportedly, customer service has published codes redemption to some owners of second who asked, but it is not guaranteed.

    Step 4

    If you try to update the iLife or iWork applications that were installed from a purchased DVD, or if you have a refurbished Mac purchased directly from Apple, contact App Store customer service for a redemption code. If necessary, you will be asked for the part number of the DVD.

    Step 5

    In the App Store menu bar, select

    Store ▹ view my account

    Enter your Apple ID to the command prompt. In the lower right corner of the window that opens, click the reset button. Close the window.

  • Update are not available with this Apple ID.

    I bought my MacBook Pro 8 months ago.  Today, I get an error that I can not update my iPhoto in the App Store.  It says "update not available with this Apple ID.  This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by another user or the item has been refunded or cancelled. "I read a lot of FAQ online, but none of them say that they had this error with iPhoto, which is an application that I have not purchased (so I can uninstall it and reinstall it as suggested).  Y at - it an easy fix?  I tried to reach out to the Geek Squad, but which is not helping either.   Thank you.

    If you are not the original owner of the MBP you must erase the SSD drive and reinstall the os x which then attaches your ID for the MBP.

    You can do this by starting the MBP in the restoration of the Internet by using the OPTION, COMMAND + R keys.  The result will be a presentation with a rotating globe:

    This will connect you to the Apple servers.  Following the directions, you get this menu:

    First use disk utility to erase the SSD drive.

    Then click "Reinstall Mac OS x"

    A strong Internet connection is rrequired.

  • Update are not available with this identifier Apple - iPhoto

    Hello

    I bought a MacBook Pro 13 "and for awhile, I had problems with the update of the application iPhoto. I used to have the "Update not available with this Apple ID" problem with updated Garageband and Pages too, but it somehow sorted on itself and someday update just worked. But I've had this problem with iPhoto for a long time now and I can't update. I tried to put it in the trash as someone advised him in another thread with the same problem and then I tried to get the app on the AppStore but I can't even find it. There is simply no app iPhoto for me. Someone had a similar problem?

    Any advice would be appreciated, thank you very much in advance!

    and then I tried to get the app on the AppStore but I can't even find it. There is simply no app iPhoto for me. Someone had a similar problem?

    Apple has stopped the development of iPhoto, and it is no longer marketed in the AppStore. The only way to update is by reinstalling, if iPhoto is listed in your purchase history - tab in the App Store purchases.

    Purchased from iPhoto on the App Store? Or accept for your AppleID if you bought a Mac with Mac OS X Lion or newer, which came without DVD Installer?

    If iPhoto does not appear in your purchase history, you cannot update now longer.  This could be the case, if you have installed iPhoto to an iLife DVD Installer, or it came with an earlier version of Mac OS X on the DVD Installer.

    Original title: scams?

    I continue to receive calls from numbers not available with an Indian accent saying that they are from the Technical Department of windows and I have a problem with my computer. Normally, I just say that I don't have and hung up. Today, I took a little further and he said that they discovered that I had loads of malware/viruses etc and that they could identify with them. I was obviously very suspicious because he seemed to have my correct Windows ID number and with care on 'Run' he told me to type things like cmd eventviewer and inf where he referred to a file 1394.pnf. I stopped while he asked remotely to access my computer. However, I got a phone number 01916450337 and his P786000 id I noticed that many people are posting on your forum-is this another one of those scams?

    Continue to put the phone down. They are all crooks.

    They get you to open Event Viewer, because there are words such as 'critical' and 'error' along the this.
