• N911a HP Officejet Pro 8600 error scanner cannot communicate with the computer.

  Original title: is anyone has the sweep of HP Officejet Pro 8600 n911a problems when you use Windows 7 Pro?

  Just bought this laptop of HP Pavilion dv6-7138us, and had the updated operating system upgraded to Windows 7 Pro, directed by Office Depot until I take possession.  The all-in-one HP Officejet Pro 8600 n911a (bought a few months ago) will be analyzed to this laptop.  I can't access "managing the scan of the computer."  When I try to open the scanner of the icon, the message begins with "scanner cannot communicate with the computer."  I was on the HP support forum, tried to uninstall and reinstall the driver, even tried to download the driver on the net, you run printing HP & scan doctor, tried all disconnect them reconnect restart options, all without success.  The functions of printer normally with this laptop and the printer function scanner AND correctly on other two laptops running Windows XP Pro.  Which makes me suspect that this is a problem Windows 7 Pro.  Could this be just?

  Hello

  1. you have any security program installed on the computer?

  2 did you a recent software or changes to the material on the computer?

  Method 1:

  I suggest you to disable any anti-virus program and check if the problem persists.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

  NOTE: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  Method 2:

  You can also run the printer Troubleshooter and check if it helps.

  Open the printer Troubleshooter

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-printer-Troubleshooter

  Method 3:

  I also suggest to try to run the System File Checker scan on the computer. The scan will replace all the Windows files corrupted with new ones.

  Click on the link mentioned below for further guidance on the scanning of the file system Checker

• 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

• Printer problems. Error "computer cannot communicate with the printer.

  I had problems to access Windows Explorer and the rep Dell IT installed Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta 10 for my Windows Vista as an alternative.  Now my Dell AIO 946 printer does not work.  Whenever it is fixed, it prints until I am notified to download an upgrade of the system.  After that I downloaded the upgrade, the printer does not work yet.  The ink cartridges will not align.  I get a message of "remove stickers ink", which is clearly not the problem because the cartridges are not new.  Now, I get a message that says "computer cannot communicate with the printer.  I re-installed the printer several times, disconnected from the power source and the URL and re-connected.  Nothing seems to work.  Any positive advice will be appreciated.

• My Lexmark printer stopped working and the error message says "printer cannot communicate with the computer" (from "twisted into the USB pins?).

  When my printer stopped working because of error messages about "printer cannot communicate with the computer" (from "twisted into the USB pins?), I tried to change to 2nd USB port without success. I tried a new cable; that did not help.

  Then I uninstalled and reinstalled my Lexmark printer and changed the error message. Now, the printer does not work because "the USB device is not recognized."

  I tried to update the chips; Use 1 USB port; and using the old cable, all this without success. I checked the connections of the cable to the printer and the PC and turn on the printer and goes off; I'm out of ideas. Any other suggestions?

• Printers HP B110a cannot communicate with the laptop, but both will be connected to the router?

  OK, here's an interesting problem that has been banging my brain for hours, one of my friends has a HP Photosmart all in one printer B110a. Now I can get the printer to connect to the wireless router, no problem. Can I also have the phone to connect to the router, the problem is that the printer cannot communicate with the laptop. The router brand and model is the Linksys wrt54g

  Now, I took my friends laptop home and tried to see if she could detect my wireless printer model different on my router which is a TP WR340GD I went in devices and printers, and went to Add a printer and Add Printer wireless, it instantly detected my printer via the wireless network. There is no problem on the side of the laptop. I am sure that any firewall on the laptop was turned off when I tried the connected printer.

  So now I have my friends printer here with me and decided to try and see if I could detect the HP Photosmart printer All In One Printer on my laptop on my TP WR340GDwireless router. Yet once, it worked perfectly and it has detected the printer and works wireless without fault.

  I'm down now to the conclusion that the problem is with my friends router Linksys wrt54g I'm gone in the settings of the router, change the wireless channels, changed security between WEP and WPA/WPA2 and AES AND TKIP wireless and this does not solve the problem.

  I can access to the Photosmart B110a: the Web server integrated in a browser ONLY if I have the laptop to the router physically connected by Ethernet cable when trying to access my router from a friend, but I can access through wireless on my router. The problem is probably something very simple that I forgot, but I was more all I can think that I tried to reset harder than the printer cleaned the network settings on the printer as well from the display of the printer menu.

  I'm really lost now, someone at - it suggestions?

  Hey pcwizard, ok, I checked the router settings and Mac filtering turned on, so I decided to reset the router, it restored to factory settings. Re-Setup wireless and once again I tried, still had no luck with the laptop to communicate with the printer.

  in any case, I decided to connect the cable from the printer to the laptop and took the USB to wireless Assistant. As I reinstalled it the printer using the wired method.

  He told me that the rules of traffic incoming and outgoing firewall stopped communication between devices and assign port numbers 427-9000 etc.. However, I had turned off all firewall, Windows and Norton 360, which since then, I've replaced with a better anti-virus software.

  I went into the settings of the router, port forwarded the application numbers, tried again and is again no luck. I'm usually pretty good with computers, but it was really annoying me. So I went and had a coffee and a brainwave came and I decided to see if my laptop could detect and connect the printer to the router. As soon as I tried it, he finds and the printer has detected immediately.

  Then I thought there must be something on my laptop to friends who may be at the origin of the problem, when I looked, I noticed that my friend had the old software Vodafone Mobile Broadband running in the background which was connected to the router.

  So I closed and turn it off and tried again adding printer. SUCCESS now detects it and the printer is now communicate and respond with the laptop. I'm guessing that the Vodafone Mobile Broadband have a built-in firewall blocking the communication. However it is strange because it worked without problem on my printer at home, so I wonder if some how blacklisted broadband Vodafone IP address of the printer at a time on their router.

  I'm so happy, it's finally done, a lot of hours and work, and after all this time it was * beep * Vodafone.

  in any case Pcwizard I thank very much for trying to help, no doubt has given me a few ideas.

  Thanks again!

• Dell V313 printer cannot communicate with the computer

  When I try to print from my Acer Aspire Windows 7 on my dell v313, I get the message "communication not available - the printer cannot communicate with the computer. It's already happened, but when I restarted the computer it would print. Now, it won't. I replaced the USB cable and downloaded the last Cabinet V313 - and the software. Ink cartridges are filled. I am holder of a horse's hoof and a 4 leaf clover; but nothing works. What can I try now? Thanks for any help,

  Mike

  Mike,

  You can try to disable the ToolTips of printers. If the printer is wireless, try channel 11 in your wireless router. You can also try to remove computers printer scan list and then restart the computer and see if it prints.

  Start, Control Panel, devices and printer, your printer, printing preferences, advanced, more control options. Tell him to never show. The problem with this setting is that you can not tell if you are weak of ink, printer jams, etc..

• Cannot add host ESXi 5.5 to vCenter for a routed network - cannot communicate with the specified host

  I was wondering if anyone has come across this problem before, who could give advice how to fix them:

  Host of pre-production UCS ESXi migration of a Production vCenter on another network (routing in place)

  Can ping both directions successfully - from vCenter Prod to the host of the pre-production

  no firewall between the two.

  902 port is open on the host

  Host connects to the pre-production vCenter on the subnet even fine

  VCenter production can add different hosts on the same network end

  Even with the various guests of ESXi UCS.

  ESXi host was completely disconnected and removed from vCenter inherited before attempting to add. No dvswitch physical or virtual.

  Then try and add, enter the user name and password and get cannot communicate with the specified host.

  Thank you

  The solution to this. Used ESX host 5.5 3B (3248547) update that disables SSLv3. (Ref: VMware ESXi 5.5 updated Notes version 3B) one of the consequences of this is that older versions of vCenter (such as trying to move the host) can not add/connect host.

  Enable SSLv3 to spend (port 443) on the resolved host (virtuallyPeculiar: connection A ESXi 5.5 U3b host to vCenter with a lower Version A.)

  Note: should not enable SSLv3 to Port 902.

  Ref:

  The SSLv3 Protocol on vSphere 5.x configuration (2139396) | VMware KB

  Many thanks to Suhas Savkoor of virtuallyPeculiar for resolution for this on his website display
