HP Photosmart C4780 cannot print (communicate) with Windows 8 Dell desktop

Product name: HP Photosmart C4780

Operating system: Windows 8 64-bit

Error message: "the computer is unable to establish two-way communication with the device.

Changes: I installed the "full functionality" print driver available on hp.com for Windows 8

Description:

When I send a Word Document to print the C4780 will spit on white paper.  I think that the ink levels are cool, but when I try to check the ink levels using the Toolbox "printer" in the HP Solution Center, I see the error message (see above).

I've uninstalled and reinstalled the driver updated several times now. Whenever the installation seems to have success, but it does not solve the problem.  I also tried to install the driver of "basic" printing for the Photosmart series, but I still have the same question.

The printer is connected to the computer via a USB cable; I'm not currently using the wireless feature.  Thank you for your help with this.

Hello

You indicated that you could not communicate with the printer, but I can tell that it prints a blank page of the word.

    Why cannot open iTunes with windows 10

    For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

    The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. (Yes, I see that you've done that but maybe not the specific deletions which are mentioned).

    Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

    More information area has direct links with the current and recent buildings if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit-for old video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with QuickTime software or a third party.

    Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.

    This kind of behavior is very often due to antivirus.  You are using.  If its McAfee or Norton get rid of them completely.   There are others who are also incompatible.  Everything you try, make sure that the analysis of e-mail is disabled.   You can also try to repair the database and see if that helps (see www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/).  And see also www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

    Things worked fine with my old computer running Windows 7. However this computer failed last week, well that was 10 years old, and I bought a new computer with Windows 10.

    He had no problem with the wireless print job immediately. However, I need to have the program loaded in to scan documents. I think that the program is called Center of HP solutions? Despite the CD, I am unable to install the program.

    It presents a panorama of a Mediterranean home fron a gateway with Brown and the message "select install to begin the installation of your new HP device ' however Instrall is not presented as an option only"Exit".".

  • HP Photosmart C6380 does not scan or print photo with Windows 8

    Just bought HP M6/1125DX/15j with Windows 8. My current HP printer is a HP Photosmart C6380 All In One.  The printer does not work, but the photo and analysis part icons no longer appear which were on my front desk. I tried to download the entire program which said would update my printer, but after 6 tries to one hour each, at the end he just said my download has been cancelled. Is there a chance that my printer will be supported by Windows 8 and how do I do that if I can't download.  Or am I stuck buying a new printer? Thank you

    Hello

    The C6380 is supported in Windows 8 and has a Solution Full Download.  I would try using the Print Wizard to download and install the drivers.

    Cannot print on C6280 wireless after the upgrade to Windows 10. Have removed the device, but try to re install the printer when is not found. Can print if I connect USB. Tried to reload the driver using HP Support software help, but when he arrives at the end of the download fails.

    Hi @Ron9871,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I see that you are unable to get your printer HP Photosmart C6280 wireless printing. I'd be happy to help you and don't forget to come back to this thread and check "Accept as Solution", if I have successfully helped solve you the problem. If you want to say 'Thank you' to my effort to help, click on the "thumbs up" to give me a Kudos.

    I would like to try the steps in this guide, "offline" Status Message printer (Windows 10).

    If the problem persists, you may encounter an IP address conflict. It's a good idea to assign the printer a static IP address outside your DHCP range. For example, some routers default DHCP is located between 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.200. So, I would use 192.168.0.232.

    • Print a Page of Network Configuration menu of the printer front panel. Note: the IPV4 IP.
    • Type the IP address in the browser to bring up the SAP.
    • Choose the network tab, then wireless on the left side, and then select the IPv4 tab.
    • Select Manual IP.
    • Enter your IP address manual (192.168.0.232)
    • Enter 255.255.255.0 for the subnet mask, except if it is different.
    • Enter the IP address of your router that sits on the Network Configuration Page) for the default gateway.
    • Please, click on manual DNS server. For the preferred DNS Server Manual please enter 8.8.8.8 and the Alternate DNS Server Manual, please enter 8.8.4.4.
    • Click on apply.

    Please restart the router, the printer and the computer in this sequence.

    If you're still having problems, please download and run the print and Scan doctor, it will be probably diagnose and fix the problem you are experiencing.

    What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (she print or scan, error messages)

    You can try to change your WSD printer port by a Standard TCP/IP port.

    To do this, you will need your current IP address printers.  The Network Setup page shows the parameters of network for the product. To print this page; Press the button of network () on the control panel of the product.
