• 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.

  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.

  Hi, I am Ganesh, I tried to installed the application using creative cloud. But seems it's taking too long to install the application and it is hit. After the installation of 42%. Still, I tried to restart my computer and re-install the application. But it is keep taking so long time and struck at the end of the installation of 42%.

  If the installation process is stalled at 42 percent with no possibility of error, there is a problem with the zipped file to Extraction of downloaded in the Temp folder.

  As a fundamental step. Leave the creative Cloud desktop application.

  Delete the contents of the Temp folder:

  Optional: it will be ideal to install software like Winrar, WinZip or 7-zip,., etc.

  Please press Windows + R and you will get a command window run, get hit and type %temp%.

  Delete all the content inside the temp folder.

  
  

  
  Then try again to install application InDesign CC again.

  Just in case, if you are still having the same issue.

  Creative application cloud thus released, do not close it.

  Open the Temp folder, then search for the CC InDesign installation file and copy it to the desktop computer.

  Then leave Creative Cloud application and try to install.

• How can I get Satellite P205D-S8804 to recognize the printer?

  Hello

  I have a Canon S200SPx printer usb and a Toshiba Satellite P205D-S8804 at the Vista and that you get computer to recognize the printer.

  I have already downloaded all the printer drivers for Vista and have USB printer and cable and led all connected, but still computer does not recognize the printer.

  Hello

  I have a USB printer too and my laptop would recognize the printer correctly.
  I had to install the drivers first!
  Then I connected the two devices (laptop & printer) and Windows Vista has reported that a new device has been recognized.
  After a short time the printer appears in the Device Manager

  Maybe you should check if you have installed all necessary drivers
  In addition to renew the USB in Device Manager
  You simply remove the hubs USB and controllers from the list of devices in Device Manager. Reboot the laptop one waiting until Vista recognizes the USB controllers and then install software printing and after new reboot connect the printer!

  The printer must be turned on then
