printer error messages

I have an old epson stylus color 400 printer that worked very well. It has suddenly stopped working. Have re-installed the driver, tried to disable the [services] printer spooler then re-booting and restart the spooler. Now it just says: "pending" then I get
error-printer, when I try to print a test page. I use a usb cable with an adapter of the printer at the other end. What port shoul I asssign? previously, it was USB 002, but it does not work now. Any ideas, please?   Thank you

Hello

1. what changes have been made to your computer before your printer does not?
2. have you checked if the print spooler service dependencies are started and manual or automatic?

Use an existing port option button.

Follow these steps and check if that helps.

Step 1:

You can run the "FIX IT" from the link that diagnoses and repairs printer problems automatically.

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/troubleshoot-printer-problems

Step 2:

Do a System Restore to the point that your printer was working fine.

  • How stop "low on ink to the printer" error message on ipad

    HP Officejet 5470 continues to send a low on ink error message to my IPad. I don't know my printer settings to disable these messagets, help!

    You won't find any printer or the printer settings. AirPrint is a diffuse wifi printing system, so that these messages are actually sent by your printer and simply displayed on your iPad.  Stop messages, to bad draw on the printer itself.  If it is low on ink, then replace cartridges.  If this is not the case, check the printer manual or online support on erasing the incorrect error messages or status.

  • Fake print error message want 4502

    I Wibdows 8.1 with a new installoed want 4502 all-in-in-one. It will print perfectly, then the operating system sends an error message that the casting of the page is not printed. I say I'm getting low on black ink supply, but it seems to have been a lot.  The text of the message is about "error in printing on printer Envy 4500 - could not print (document source, Windows, Outlook, etc.). It appears after the document is printed perfectly. Any ideas?

    Been there, done that; without success. The message is caused by a low level of black ink. I changed the cartrage and the messqage went. Thank you once again for a flaky OS Microsoft and I thank you for your help.

  • Printer error message - Incompatible cartridge? !

    I have the HP Photosmart D110 printer.

    I tried to print from yesterday, but all of a sudden my printer gave me the incompatiable ink cartridge error message. But the ink is good. I bought the new ink 2 weeks ago and have been using it without problem until yesterday.

    I did everything I could do to try to solve this problem. I took out the cartridges and it is the black cartridge which gives me the problem. It prints with color as the... back but if my black cartridge is where I get the error message.

    I even took the cartridges and clean and everything. But nothing I seeme don't work. Please help me!

    HP will not develop a Windows 10 driver for this printer. The best option is to buy a new printer or get a laptop computer with the operating system prior to Windows 7 because this error occurred on Windows 7 computers due to inadequate software support driver for the printer. Perhaps a simple shooting turn also works as described in the link.

  • The network P2015dn printer error messages

    We print from Excel to a Laserjet P2015dn printer networked.  If printing fails, no error message is returned to Excel (or Word).  The built-in web server reports correctly printer problems.  Using Windows XP.  Can anyone help?

    I'm glad that you enjoy your time! I have to go climb a mountain this weekend, it's all just beautiful here.

    As another suggestion, lets try to use the universal print driver for LaserJet:

    Hey carol1950,

    Have you run printing HP and doctor Scan?  One of the functions that can perform this automated tool is erasing blocked the printing of the print queue.  To access the PSDR click here.

    So one can try to remove the printing manually restarting the print spooler service.  For more information about how to restart the print spooler, click here.

  • Suddenly, my 4215 all in one HP printer error message reads "remove and check right cartridge".

    My all-in-one 4215 printer suddenly flashes an error message on the screen saying "remove and check right cartridge"... For what I'm checking, it is unclear. I deleted and reinstalled the cartridge and it seems OK to me... It is not empty, and the last thing that he printed was fine... Help!

    I am betting that the printer or the ink cartridge contacts are dirty. This happens over time. The document below will guide you through cleaning the contacts. Let me know what happens.
