• HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 N911a, no PC Interface to the printer

  Win 7 Home Premium, 32-bit and 64-bit PCs, wireless connection to the printer OfficeJet Pro 8600 N911a.

  When clicking on the icon of the desktop printer, or to access the HP program in the start menu, MS Notepad opens the interface instead of the interface coding. It's a constant problem since the installation of the software in November 2012. The software has been installed on all three 3 PCs with the disc that came with the printer. All three 3 PCs suffer the same problem of no interface, only Noptpad with the code.

  I uninstalled the drivers and firmware (using Revo) completely and reinstalled from the HP Support download site. The problem remains.

  The interface of Scan function works perfectly in the start menu.

  Other than that, the printer works fine when access to it to print from the sites, as well as the printer works perfectly with all functions when using the control panel touchscreen printer.

  Any suggestions or help appreciated.

  Hi Bobhist,

  I understand that you have a 8600 Officejet which is not able to open the wizard in the printer on 3 different computers. I'm sorry to hear what is happening, but I'd be happy to help you!

  I would recommend you have a look through this HP Printer Wizard opens with an error in Script or in Notepad and you should then be able to use everything as planned.

  Hope this helps, have a nice week end

• Unable to communicate with the printer HP 4630

  Continue error message of "Unable to communicate with the printer." Even when connected by USB.

  Have reinstalled the software several times, checked the wireless (no problem), printed many pages of configuration directly from the printer.

  I keep trying to add the printer to my preferences. One thing is that it will only add like a scanner or fax, a PRINTER. It is also called Hello Scanner. Why can't I add as a printer?

  Now, it will not also let me COMPLETE reinstallation of the software, it freezes at the section add printer and I can't move forward. So frustrating...

  Help!

  We will reset the printing system, repair disk permissions, add the printer using the driver and try to start a new search.

• 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

• "communication not available with the printer" message when you try to print to a Lexmark 1270 x all-in-one

  I am running windows xp family.  I don't know what happened, but all of a sudden, I get this message when I try and print to my lexmark x 1270 "communication not available with the printer. I tried every troubleshooter, I contacted Lexmark support that they gave up, saying: it must be a file is missing from the windows registry, you can help me?

  It seems that if you say that the pilots were not reinstalled successfully.  What was the mystery file that could not be found?

  Do you remember how the software has been uninstalled?  Was something else than the control panel > Add / Remove Programs (or the link "Uninstall" from start > all programs) used?

  If you do not really clean things, attempts to reinstall the printer drivers may actually just end up putting the old drivers back in place.

  This is the easiest way to uninstall and reinstall the printer drivers: Article 1.  The critical step is #4.

  This page has more detailed advice for cleaning things out before you reinstall: http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/CleanPrinterDrivers.htm

  I asked the firewall and antivirus applications because sometimes, some security software may interfere with the printers.  This shouldn't be a problem with the firewall of Windows XP and Microsoft Security Essentials.

  Finally, your problem could end up being hardware related.  Lexmark support has no hardware troubleshooting operation?  The manual for your x 1270 says:

  All-in-One is not communicating with the computer

  1. disconnect and reconnect both ends of the USB cable. For more help, see the
  installation documentation.
  2 unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, plug it in again, and
  Press Power. For more information, refer to the installation documentation.
  3 restart the computer. If the problem continues, remove and then reinstall
  the software. For more information, see page 16. [which ask you to remove the software using the link "Uninstall" - which is not complete, as described above]

  If you have another type of printer USB cable, you should try it exchanges.  Ideally, you need to connect to the printer on another computer, but maybe it's not convenient for you.

• Questions of UPD on 4700dn printer - unable to communicate with the printer

  Hello!

  I'm testing the UPD on my laptop which has Windows 7 64 bit on my network printers all in my building. All network printers work fine except one... Color LaserJet 4700dn.

  When you use the UPD interface when you try to print, I try to use the IP address of the printer and it cannot connect. "When you use the search for network printers option, it recognizes the printer, but when I try to connect, I get the error ' unable to communicate with the printer.

  I changed the host name of the printer, changed the IP address on this subject, I can ping the printer and print using the print server, I rebooted the printer... Even got a older laptop that has Windows 7 32-bit and used the UPD 32 bits and the same symptoms occur.

  Any ideas because I hit a brick wall.

  Thank you very much!

  Looks like you can set up a standard port and print ok from a print server.  The UPD in the stream you describe will attempt to make multiple calls SNMP to determine the abilities of the printer, and those who are failing, causing the UPD to throw the error you see.

  Take a look at the network settings in the SAP.  Specifically, under Security, management of the protocols and the SNMP tab.  Watch to see if one of these parameters differ from other devices that work, like maybe SNMP is disabled on the YOA 4700n.

• Have Photosmart Premium C310a. Ongoing problem to the loss of communication with the printer

  I have a HP Photosmart Premium 310 Ca and am running Windows XP.  About every month my computer loses contact with the printer.  The network works fine as is my email.  I tried restarting the computer, reset my router and the Setup error following to get instructions from XP. I tried to reinstall, and I can't seem to install.  I'm tired of this!

  I'm sorry that you are having this problem. There are several steps you can take to help your connection problem. First of all, when the printer is connected to your network, print a Network Setup page. On this page, use the ip address of the printer and that type in the address bar of your internet browser on your computer. Will take you to the server of the web integrated printer (EWS). Look for the Networking tab change the automatic ip addressing to public static ip (manual). You will then enter the ip address of the printer, followed by the subnet mask, and finally the default gateway, the info that will be on the Network Setup page you printed. Below, you'll assign 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as the primary and secondary DNS. Who should manage the intermittent connection loss problems. With automatic addressing, the printer can request a new address whenever there is a network problem, which confuses the printer. Static IP or manual addressing, is tackling this problem. Let me know if it helps.

• small problem with the printer dialog box

  I recently added a Brother printer to my IMac and ran into a minor problem.  When I put in place using my WiFi and AirPrint, the dialog box has a convenient box for the black and white that I was able to check in one easy-to-replace step and just print in color.  However, the alarm time and the answer is a bit slow.  So, I then plugged a cable and add this version of the printer.  Now the box is missing and nothing I've been able to do, to delete and add new printer allowed me to bring that?  Any ideas on how I can get this feature practice appears in the dialog box with the printer connected to the cable?  Thank you.

  If I understand correctly, you have now two entries separated for this printer to Print & Scan? It's OK, although AirPrint is better for various reasons.

  I understand the printer takes an unacceptable amount of time to wake up to when choosing the AirPrint printer, and you want to avoid this.

  If you have added a separate entrance - one for the USB printer connected - how who you? Did you leave the print & Scan install this printer automatically on its own, or did you download and install a driver of brother separately?

• ERROR MESSAGE HP6700 - PROBLEM WITH THE PRINTER OR INK SYSTEM CONTACT HP

  I JUST BOUGHT A HP OFFICEJET 6700 (LESS THAN 1 WEEK), THE PROBLEM OF PRINTER OR INK SYSTEM MESSAGE, TURN PRINTER OFF THEN WE IF THE PROBLEM CONTINUES CONTACT HP. IS DISPLAYED ON THE PRINTER SCREEN. I DID EVERYTHING SUGGESTED, AND MORE MORE, BUT THIS CUSTOM MESSAGE CLEARLY.  ALL DIAGNOSES OF THE PRINTER THE PRINTER IS FINE.  THE OPERATING SYSTEM IS WINDOWS 7.

  Mahamoud,
  Your article made a walkthrough basic troubleshooting, ending with the question if the print head is repairable. Because it is not on the 6700, the article isn't really the problem.
  
  Here is the solution I found to this problem:
  I discovered that eliminating all ink cartridges allows the printer at startup (although there is a message saying the missing print cartridges).
  Putting the cartridges in a binary regression revealed that the ink has been bad. (In my case, I only got the message of failure/printer ink when the yellow cartridge was in the printer).
  Replacement of the restored cartridge the printer functionality.
  That's the good news.
  Now the bad news: for HP.
  The generic error message indicates a failure with the printer or the ink system. No differentiation. With the electronics in the cartridges (that the client pays a high price for), looks that HP could not understand how to indicate a cartridge problem. This error message is not only unnecessary, but misleading. The printer indicates only a power reset and then contact HP. There is no indication that he might be a cartridge problem, not to mention what cartridge has failed. By the way, my customer encountered this problem when you replace the color cartridges. The cartridge failed was a new replacement.
  All of the web enabled features, fax, scanning features, print included with this printer are not very useful if the user can't get the dang thing to print.
  Another problem with this printer, is that, even when you only print in b & W, the printer uses little color (ostensibly make Blacks more "BOLD"). Then, finally, a color cartridge will go low or empty, even if only B & W printing. And guess what, you can't continue to print n & B if one of the color cartridges are out of ink. Thus, HP... How is this useful printer in an office environment, where most print tends to be B & W?

  (I would add; the solution in the message of failure/printer ink cartridge cannot fix your problem if, in fact, there are a few default printer. But if the problem is in the ink system, then the troubleshooting cartridge can help you).
  I have posted similar comments on Amazon, for this printer, in the subject line: shame on you, HP.

• HP Officejet 5740: there is a problem with the printer

  Every day the printer (not standby) turns on and shows "there is a problem with the printer. Turn the printer off, then on. "why what is happening every day?

  This problem got solved, later. Although tech hp sent me the ink HPInstant and that they "reset" of my printer, the error message returned in a few days and continues every day. Another call to Tech Support/InstantInk advised me to return the printer for an Exchange (it's 60 miles a way back). We decided to install Instant ink cartridges, as a last resort to resolve the error messages, and it worked. No error message. I put the original ink cartridges in the printer I can use those to the top. Still no error message and this printer now works well. PERSONAL OPINION: When we enrolled in instantink, hp tried to contact our printer via wireless (whatever) and when it failed an error occurred every DAY, after the installation of the instant ink cartridges a connection has been established at hpinstantink have finished the registration process.

• OfficeJet Pro 8600: message "problem with the printer or ink system.

  I replaced the magenta cartridge with a new cartridge genuine HP (end of warranty 2017/01), but now get a message "problem with the printer or the ink system.

  If I restore the old cartridge I get the message that it is empty, but all the other options of the printer are available.

  Online support does not give me any result of solution but suspect there may be a manufacturing error in the new cartridge.
