• 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?

  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..

• Brother all-in-one does not work with the computer more

  After an automatic windows/XP download started what follows:

  All-in-one Brother takes control of the computer, but are not sent or computer will not receive the image to the desktop.

  Also, same unit will receive a fax and normally sends to the computer to the paperport, but now he sends (i.e. "connecting to PC" displayed on the LCD of the brother) to a computer but it can not be found anywhere; so lost.

  Measures taken so far:

  1. Uninstall and reinstall the Brother software, no help.

  2 brother support after an hour said that it is the computer not brother (I believe that good).

  3 System Restore will not work, it goes through the whole process, but said at the end that there nothing; Try again...

  4. in addition, conducted a deep scan for viruses etc, nothing found.

  Any ideas?

  You have posted to a group of Vista, but seem to be using winxp?

  What automatic download? Update history will show what has been updated

• SE error message saying the printer cannot communicate with the computer cause of blocked files.

  Original title: DRIVER of PRINTER BLOCKED

  A COMMS. ERROR MESSAGE ME SAYING THAT MY PRINTER CANNOT COMMUNICATE WITH MY PC. AFTER COMPLETING THE USUAL HARDWARE CHECKS THAT I USED THE SERVICE CENTER OF DELL ONLINE THAT REMOVAL OF TWO STATES ' DLEACOMS. EXE' AND ' DLEAWBGW. EXE ' MUST BE RELEASED TO ALLOW MY PRINTER TO WORK.

  I SEE NO REFERENCE TO THESE FILES IN THE WINDOWS FIREWALL AND TO THIS DAY THE ONLY WAY AROUND THIS PROBLEM IS TO REMOVE THE PRINTER AND REINSTALL, BUT IT WORKS FOR A SHORT PERIOD. I USED (BY REMOTE CONTROL) THE STATION OF SOLUTION DELL THREE TIMES BUT EVEN THEY EVENTUALLY REMOVE ALL AND REINSTALL THE PRINTER.

  SOMEONE HAS AN IDEA HOW THESE FILES CAN BE UNLOCKED?

  I suggest to disable CAPS LOCK key since your message is all in the capital and difficult to read. Have you tried to add to the exception in the Windows Firewall? Try also to change your network connection for work or at home instead of public. Also make sure you installed the latest version of the driver and are compatible. Also try to run the tool:

  If the problem is not resolved, contact Dell customer service.

• Trouble Shooting basic steps if the printer cannot communicate with the computer.

  Here are the steps to follow if your printer has problems to connect to a computer for basic troubleshooting.

  USB:

  1. Make sure that the USB cable is connected sucurely at both ends.
  2. Make sure that the USB cable is connected directly to your computer.  If you have a USB hub between the printer and the computer, it can cause communication problems.
  3. Make sure that your do not plug the USB key into a USB 3.0 port.  HP printers do not work with USB 3.0 connections and can prevent the computer to see the printer.
  4. Make sure that the USB cable is less than 6 ft.  No more 6 ' can generate signals lose who will cause problems of miscommunication.
  5. Have a backup USB cable.  The truth is USB cables are good markets for be sold at low prices.  Sometimes they last for years without any problem.  Sometimes they are bad when buy you them.  It's really just a matter of chance.  The chances of getting a bad store fees are quite low, but it happens and it never hurts to prepare.

  Wireless and Ethernet:

  1. Follow all the steps in this document.  Do step in the document will ensure that your printer on the network and has a stable connection.  The only thing to change is under the fifth step.  Under the fifth step, it tells you how to set DNS information on your printer.  It tells you to use the IP of your router.  Do not.  Use the public DNS to Google for favorite 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 for the alternate.  The reason why I use Google DNS is twofold.  (1) HP printers seem to connect better with Google DNS.  (2) If your printer has web services, web services have a better chance to connect with Google DNS.
  2. If your anti-virus software has a firewall, disable it.  Anti-virus firewall can block network communication between devices on the same network, and disabling the firewall may allow communication to flow normally.  If the firewall is the problem, there are ports you need to open once you activate the firewall again.  These ports will be listed at the end of this post.

  These are the basic things that you can do if you think you have problems with the printer and computer to communicate with one another.

• I replaced a HP with an Epson Stylus all-in-one printer and cannot get the printer to print more than one page when printing from the computer.

  Original title: new printer

  I replaced a HP with an Epson Stylus all-in-one printer and cannot get the printer to print more than one page when printing from the computer.  The printer works fine when printing from a laptop or ipad!

  Start by going here--> http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?UseCookie=yes&oid=232591&prodoid=63099059&infoType=Downloads&platform=nodetect

  If the web page has not correctly detected your operating system, select it by using the drop-down list.  Rather than using the "Combo package" recommended but huge, expand the "Drivers" section and download driver printer v2.32 to a location that you will remember later.

  • Click on the ORB start and go into devices and printers.
  • Select (click) the icon of your Epson printer.
  • Once you have selected the printer, a button labeled "Print server properties" will appear in the toolbar.  Click on this button.
  • Click the "Drivers" tab on the print server properties dialog box.
  • Select the Epson printer in the list of installed printer drivers, and then click 'remove '.
  • In the context menu, select "Remove driver and driver package" and click OK
  • Click Yes, and then delete
  • Once the removal process is complete, restart the computer (probably not really necessary, but can't hurt)
  • Install the driver and the software using the file that you downloaded earlier

  At this point, your printer should work fine.  However, if you want the ability to print by emailing a file to your printer, you may need to install both 'Remote Printer Driver v1.65' in the category 'Pilot' and "v1.30 utility Configuration of printer Epson Connect" in the "Utilities" category
