HP Envy 4504: Printer prints well recognized by the computer

Hello

My printer does not print despite the right driver installed etc.  My computer recognizes the printer, and it is defined as the default value.  I used print and scan doctor several times without success.  It recognizes the printer but then when it goes to the "communicating with your printer" window, the green line gets three quarters along and then it just stays at that.  Printer is connected via usb.

The other info I have for you, is my computer crashed a week ago (has been hacked) and therefore had to have everything (including windows) re-installed (done by a professional not me :-)  Etc. print driver has been reinstalled at the time (from online), but has not worked since.

I would be very grateful for any help that you can provide as I use the printer for my home business.

Hi @HelenMay,

Thank you for visiting the Forums from the HP Support! I understand since your WIndows 8.1 computer crashed, you are able to print to your HP Envy 4504 nolonger. You have the software and drivers resettled but when you attempt to print it is unable to communicate with the printer.

I would like you to follow the steps below:

1. perform a clean boot: How to perform a boot in Windows

2. now, go ahead and use the System File Checker: use the tool File Checker system to repair missing or corrupted system files

3 uninstall/reinstall:

1. disconnect the USB key if you use a direct connection.

2. remove the software HP Envy 4504 to uninstall from the control panel of your computers an option of the program.

3. restart the computer.

4. make sure that all the software 4504 envy has disappeared from the list of programs, but also your HP folder listed under all programs in your Start Menu.

5. now, go ahead and start to download and install your Windows HP Printer Driver and software for a USB cable connection

* DO NOT CONNECT USB UNTIL THE SOFTWARE INVITES YOU TO *.

Here is the link for the software and drivers:

HP ENVY 4500 e-all-in-One Printer series full feature software and drivers

6. go ahead and print a test page.

7. If you are unable to print a test page, please run the HP Print and Scan Doctor- designed by HP to provide users with troubleshooting and problem-solving features needed to solve many common problems encountered with HP print and scan products related to Windows computers.

Please let me know if it was successful! I'll watch for your reply.

Thank you

    Hi Karen,.

    -What version of Windows is installed on the computer?

    You have tried most the steps mentioned in the document, but please try once more.

    Additionally, make sure that you disable the antivirus and firewall programs just to make sure that these programs do not block the detected printer.

    Note: You must enable the /firewall antivirus as soon as you've done troubleshooting. If this is not the case, your computer will be vulnerable to viruses.

    A few questions to clarify the situation...

      -Level of the Service pack of the system in question?

  • My Photosmart HP 7510 is not recognized by the computer for printing.

    It was working fine, until what we replaced our router with a v3 TG797n I have reset the printer and reinstalled the software on the compters several times but it still won't print. During the new printer 'Add' processes on the computer will not find the printer, even using the intellectual property. The printers IP is coming as 10.0.0.34, all printing test through the printer directly arrived as work, connected to the corect network.

    When I look at the routers settings it says that he recognizes the device with IP 10.0.0.34, but I have computers (an XP desktop running at the time) and a HP Pavillion Dv6 with Win7 cannot always find and say it should be disabled.

    I downloaded and tried all the HP diagnostic tools, and they all tell me that my printer is not activated on/not connected and offer no alternative.

    I've had the printer for less than 6 months and already he had replaced with a new one because it was defective, and now it gives me a headache.

    In addition, we have updated the Office of Win8 and cannot install printer on that. I checked the lists on this site as to what printers are/are not taken in charge and I didn't know that the HP Photosmart 7510 nowhere mentioned at all.

    And as usual, after trying everything (it has been two weeks now to try different things) and then post online for support, trying one more time and it works like magic again.

    I downloaded the HP printer, troubleshooting thing once again (the third time) run the wizard and found the printer (the second time), downloaded the drivers rather than using the disc (for the second time, the first time that the installation has failed just a t at the end) and intsead to add the IP address of the printer in step "COnnect network printer", I looked at the user name for the device on my router (HPDDxxxx), and which came to the place.

    EDIT: 02/11/13

    Tried to print something today - once more the computer cannot connect to the printer. Printer is always connected. No parameters had changed since I got it to work.

    Why is this happening! I need to print things! Very close to giving up. However, I doubt that I will get a refund of HarveyNorman, because when they test it out it will connect, and that's enough for them not to say 'no refund '. Ugh.

  • 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?

  • 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..

  • I found that if it becomes necessary to use time machine to return to an earlier existence to reinstall the iphoto library, if for some reason, you lose lose, then when you try to synchronize your ipad is not recognized by the computer.  As one

    I found that if it becomes necessary to use time machine to return to an earlier existence to reinstall the iphoto library, if for some reason, you lose lose, then when you try to synchronize your ipad is not recognized by the computer.  So when you try to synchronize the pictures, they are all removed from the ipad and trying to reinstall everything again.

    This may or may not work immediately.  In my case, only half the photos have been installed, and then the error message came that the rest of 9000 can be installed.

    I contacted Apple support team who has made various suggestions.  Subsequently clicking on a photo list in iTunes were all going again and pictures of 9000 then installed.  When I asked the support team what could happen I was told that it was a "glitch".  I don't like seeds they mean that there could be an error in coding somewhere.

    Here me again.  I use an iMac and iPad.  I don't know why XP and iPhone came.

  • 4504 envy: Envy 4504 Print cell phone

    Use my desire without problem for almost 2 years.  Then 2 weeks back, it will not print from one of our MacBookPros Yosemite 10.10.5 running.   I can 'see' the printer to the page in the printer preferences and impression, but when I try to print, it just hangs and says that it cannot connect to the printer.   He will not also scan or even copy.

    I can print by sending the document to my email at hpeprint.com - and have run all diagnostics and all controls very well. It is well connected to the same network, but just used ' talk to my laptop.

    Curiously, I can turn off the wire, then back on immediately and can print only 1 document.  Then it connects again.

    I tried all the remedies I can find online... would be great to get printing still like use us our offie home and can't print anything!

    Hi @ericliebman,

    Thank you for joining the HP Forums!

    I noticed that you cannot print, copy or scan with your HP Envy printer 4504. I'm happy to help you!

    What happens when you try to copy the scanner glass? You see error messages on the printer?

    You use genuine HP cartridges or refills?

    In the meantime, please try a hard reset by following the instructions contained in this message, How to perform a hard reset, by @Rich1. It is important that the power cable from the printer is plugged directly into the wall outlet, not a surge protector.

    Try to print again and let me know what happens!
