  Original title: I just install a series of printer HP Deskjet 1050 J410

  Hi Bill,

  -What do you mean "I can make copies, but I can not print, scan or?

  It could be that you have a firewall application installed on your computer that prevents communication with the printer, or perhaps you need to uninstall and reinstall the printer due to corrupt files.

  Step 1

  Initially I suggest you run utility HP Print and Scan of the link doctor and check if this solves the problem.

  Step 2

  It is also possible that the Windows Firewall and the antivirus on the computer may be blocking the printers to communicate.

  I suggest disable you the Windows Firewall and the antivirus temporarily.

• "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 can even perform a restore of the system to a previous point, when the issue was not present. The System Restore tool uses points of restore to return the system files and settings to an earlier point in time. You can use it to restore the operating system to a point in time when you have not experienced the problem.

   

  Note: When you use System restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

  To do this, there must be a restore point from the system in which the connection was successful.

  Refer to the following help link on performing a system restore.

• My Dell all-in-one 962 stopped printing all of a sudden. The error messages are that the computer cannot communicate with the printer.

  My Dell 962 All In One Printer suddenly stopped to print. I get an error message that the computer cannot communicate with the printer. The error message suggests that I unplug and plug back the power plug and the USB cable to the printer and make sure that there are no restrictions of firewall to the printer. I did what was suggested and still no printing. I have resinstaled the printer from the CD software, I got with the computer and also installed the latest driver using the software of the software upgrade wizard.

  and also installed the latest driver by using the Software Update Wizard software.

  That would not have been the best idea... but it is unlikely that the cause of your immediate problem.

  The next thread does not make much sense to me, but it describes a situation similar to what you described and the proposed solution is supposed to have worked.  Try it and see--> http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/peripherals/f/3528/t/19483019

  I suspect that what really happens is that the driver has become corrupted.  In many cases, simply reinstall the driver is not fix things; you have to clean the old corrupt driver before installing the new.  Thus, it is more likely that the part "Uninstall" the related response is what is helping rather than playing with services... but go ahead and follow these directions, just in case.  In fact, I suggest that you run under first antimalware scanners before following the tips in the above link.

  If I had not found the link above, that's what I would have suggested (whichrequires that you have Windows XP):

  Often, but not always, the symptoms you describe are caused by a corrupt print job stuck in the queue or a damaged printer driver.  However before you clean things up, on general principles, that you can download, install, update and run full scans with each of these two free programs.

  MalwareBytes AntiMalware

  SUPERAntiSpyware

  Use the free version, not the free trials of "pro" versions  Pay attention during installation uncheck any prechecked boxes that would install some additional third-party programs.

  Do not run the scans at the same time.  Each scan will take a while.  Start one and go do a non-it chore.  Once the scan is finished, leave the program to deal with anything it finds.

  Once done, you can keep or uninstall programs, or both.  If you keep SAS, I suggest to change its default setting does NOT automatically when Windows starts.

  Uninstall all software from Dell to control panel > Add / Remove programs

  Download Microsoft Fixit 50126 impression: http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9662904

  Close all running applications (anything with an icon on the taskbar).

  Run the Fixit routine.  Note: The routine Fixit has two modes, light and complete.  It will run in full mode when you check the box "Reset the spooler to print on values."  This will remove all printers, so if you have any other printer installed, I recommend running the Fixit in full mode.  If you have other printers and you do not (necessarily) want to reinstall them, run the Fixit in light mode (box unchecked).  This may work anyway.  You must restart the computer after you run in full mode; you need not restart after the Chase mode.

  After the Fixit has executed and you have restarted if necessary, make sure that the printer is disconnected from the computer and run the installation software.  You will be asked to connect the printer to a suitable place.  You can use the CD that came with the computer or download the software here (which is relatively hard to find, the claims of the main page of the 962 product support it cannot find the drivers)--> http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=R89490

• 926 elders does not not with the new laptop Dell (17 series) on Windows 8.1

  Any suggestions for a new multifunction printer that would be compatible with Windows 8.1? I am on a budget and do not have the print/scanning of the needs that exceed the 4-5 pages per month. Thank you.

  Samin06,

  No guarantee that it will work, but some people have gotten their printer to work.

  First run, delete print jobs to eliminate any print job 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. Make sure that the printer is deleted. Driver Manual printer removal

  Download the 32-bit drivers Vista for Windows 32-bit 8.1 or the 64-bit of Windows Vista 64-bit drivers to 8.1. Install the Vista drivers in Vista compatibility mode, you will get a message, the printer is not connected. Connect the printer at the moment (power on).

  You will find links to the patch/drivers to...

  Reference Dell 926 Photo all-in-One Printer owners thread (W7)

  Don't forget the programs anti-virus and firewall will block communications. If you have not installed one, Windows Defender is the default value. Try to read...
