Print USB

How can I activate 2 way comunication on my USB printer? (Canon PIXMA 4500)

The area where I can do is gray!

If the field is gray, this means that the option is not available - at least not as things are submitted.  It is not possible at all - or it may be just a matter of the right pilot and the correct settings - it is difficult to say - I couldn't find anything on such a problem on the Canon site.

Here is an article on bidirectional printing can help: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/132465.

Here is an article on the conditions necessary for bidirectional printing: http://support.ricoh.com/bb_v1oi/pub_e/oi_view/0001036/0001036158/view/printer/int/0054.htm.

Here is an article of Canon on the configuration of the printer: http://www.canon-europe.com/Support/Consumer_Products/products/printers/InkJet/PIXMA_iP_series/iP2500.aspx?faqtcmuri=tcm:13 - 604086 & page = 1 & type = faq.

It may be a problem with your printer driver.  Go to http://software.canon-europe.com/products/0010484.asp for the latest drivers and software for your printer and Vista version and download and intall them to see which allows to solve the problem.  If not, it may be that your printer is not capable of two-way communication with Vista.

I hope this helps.

Good luck.

  • error "local printer spooler service does not work." any attempt to add a local printer (USB or Bluetooth) fails.

    I can't add a printer (USB or Bluetooth), because it always returns a printer spooler error. I tried to restart the print spooler and by ensuring that this "local system account" and "allow service to interact with desktop" is selected. I also deleted all the old printer drivers, rebooted, checked the RPC Locator is active and tried everything I can think of. It worked well in Vista x 64 on the same machine later than yesterday, but the upgrade to Windows 7 x 64 seems to have something broken. The printer, a HP C5500 series, works very well on a virtual machine that is running the same operating system. (I rather not have to run a virtual machine just to print, of course.) Running RTM x 64 on a Dell XPS M1530, which very well printed Vista, just before upgrading, to Win7. Suggestions?

    FINALLY, I SOLVED THE PROBLEM! Probably, this will not help too other people unless they too, are start several operating systems and VMware Tools running, but I figured out how to fix it on my system without having to reinstall Windows. In fact, it was caused by an instance of VMware Tools. I removed, rebooted and voila - I was able to print again. In an effort to help a few other people, here is a summary of the things I've tried while working through the countless possibilities. If you are having problems "print spooler cannot start", one of these might help.

    (1) after having in vain attempted to restart the print spooler service and by checking all its dependencies, I deleted all the registry entries and drivers as detailed here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324757.
    (2) I rebooted in safe mode and check the C:\Windows\System32\spool\ folder for all the corrupted files or remnants of coil.
    (3) I moved all the drivers printer in C:\Windows\System32\spool\x64 (or \w32x86 if you are using a 32-bit operating system) to a temporary folder. While examining the dll, I became suspicious of some "ThinPrint" drivers by VMware.
    (4) I tried to replace with a known good copy spoolsv.exe. (To do this, you need to take ownership of the file. Search engines are your friend.)
    (5) I tried to use RegEdit to reconfigure the default http RPCSS indicated in the "DependOnService" value This and all the other steps I mention in this list, are described in great detail in the links provided in my Nov 11 message.
    (6) I tried system restore back as far as possible - who had the positive effect of the side to undo these unsuccessful efforts in this case. Unfortunately, the problem persisted, due to the limited number of available on my system restore points.
    (7) following up on top of my suspicion earlier, I removed VMware Workstation and restarted. The problem persisted after a reboot.
    (8) I then started in the other OS on my system and removed the VMware tools he had installed on my boot drive, then restarted.

    Bingo! Printers reappeared and everything worked properly. Then, I was able to reinstall VMware Workstation without breaking anything. Phew!

  • printing on printer USB connected to TimeCapsule

    I have a USB printer connected to TimeCapsule.

    My iMac and two laptops can discover and print wireless through the TimeCapsule.

    None of my iOS devices can discover the printer even thought they are on the same network.

    What should I do to get the iPad to see the printer is connected to the TimeCapsule?

    iOS devices do work that with AirPrint, not any printer wifi.

  • Toshiba e-studio 206 does not print USB cable

    Hello! We have Toshiba e studio 206 which is installed with the usb cable.
    Official drivers for e-studio 206 granted official website (here and later - a Russian) had been installed without error, the device shows any errors as well and can be used as a copier or even scan via the usb cable.
    But when I try to print at least a test page - an error in the spooler window.

    Install the drivers, the printer as a COM-device. I read on the official website that this is normal.

    If Windows 7 (32 bit) - in the window 'Printers and devices' there is the printer itself AND a strange unknown device called TOSHIBA e Studio 206 (COM3).
    On Windows XP, it is all of the same except there is not that strange device.

    I'm sorry if I posted in the wrong forum, but given that this thing is a copier at the top (or so I think...) ...

    P.S:I tried using different USB cable - no effect. I guess, I'll try another while you wait for your kind answerrs... Thank you!

    Hello

    Have you installed other printers or drivers next to Toshiba e-studio? If Yes please try to remove them and test it again.

    In addition, I would recommend to reinstall the drivers for the e-studio again. Delete the current version and restart the computer. Then install the latest version you can find on the page of Toshiba.

    I see other people having this problem but I can't seem to get the printer going on the new USB port on a new computer laptop.

    I don't connect when you said that a few post back as your printer is connected using a parallel to USB cable. Now that I have a better understanding of this aspect, I can tell you that it may not work again. Unfortunately, the type of connection that uses the printer is very outdated and is no longer supported because of the potential problems that may result. I'm willing to bet that the issue of installation does not deal with the laptop itself, but the laptop cannot communicate with the printer without communication problems.

    My honest suggestion is to check out some of the more recent deskjets or small officejets and see what we have available to replace this unit. Much product HP printers are now improved print quality, ink longevity and increased functionality (wireless, scanning, etc.).

    I hope I have shed some more on the issue.

    Let me know and have a great day!

    I tried to connect a USB printer, Photosmart C3180, to my laptop Toshiba Equium A60 model but when I load the software and follow the instructions it seems to load correctly, then at the end the following error message appears "specified Port unknown".

    I tried everything the printer manufacturing suggested and even downloaded the latest Toshiba BIOS updates, but this still does not work. The PC detects new hardware but won't install it.

    I tried with another USB printer and the same message appeared.
    Any ideas?

    Hello

    It seems that the printer port name specified does not exist on your computer.
    You must use the Print Manager to see the current list of ports, you can print and use one of these.

  • Print usb hand ready AP

    Hello

    Please can I get some help?

    I have a D6200 as my first router modem located in the House. To extend the scope of network, I have a DGND3700v2 running in AP mode and connected by ethernet to my office / living room. So far so good.

    I would like to connect my HP F300 printer scanner deskjet via USB to the AP (DGND3700v2) to be used as a network printer.

    Q.:

    1. a printer can be connected and used through the AP?

    2. If so, how?

    3. the readyshare print utility - is there a mac version and if so where is it? I can't find. (I'm under OSX Yosemite).

    Hello RonPri

    Yes, you should be able to always print to the printer connected to the AP network still should be able to see in the section readyshare. You will need to connect to the AP device with its Ip address instead of using 192.168.0.1.

  • Satellite is not printer - USB hubs all permits

    I have a friend with a laptop satellite, and she tries to make him talk on his printer. The computer sees the printer, but apparently he is not talking. We checked all USB root hubs and show all activated.

    In addition, she's trying to network with another computer via USB. Yet once, nothing happens.

    It uses Vista on both computers (the other is non-Toshiba laptop) and we know that we have all the drivers installed correctly.

    Anyone can shed some light on this? Feel free to send me an e-mail to [email protected] if you wish.

    Thank you!!

    Hello

    You said that the laptop has recognized correctly the installed printer.
    Well, in your case I would recommend checking the settings of the printer if the preferred printer was selected as the default printer.

    Usually, you will find these settings in Control Panel-> printer settings.
