• Wireless printer not communicating is not with the computer

  I have a new computer and my first wireless printer a month or two ago.  I had all this work, then all of a sudden the printer stopped working.  The printer seems to be correctly connected to the wireless configuration and the computer is connected, but they do not speak with each other.

  If I submit something to print, it won't be in the queue for the printer.  I can print a page to test the computer printer, but nothing else.  I tried printing HP and doctor Scan and spent several hours trying to figure this out.  Probably I'm missing something that would be obvious to a more experienced user.

  I did uninstall the printer software and install an updated version of online, but which did not help either.

  Any suggestions?

  Ooh! Ooh!  I found it.  I'm embarrassed to admit what she was.  I was looking for articles on google print problems and someone mentioned the dialog box that appears when you print.  Mine has been configured to print in pdf format!  I've never been and was fine print for a month.  Who would have thought.  Duh.

  So, I appreciate all your help, and you led me to the answer.

  Thanks again.

• Printer not working only not with the computer

  I can't get my Kodak ESP-3 printer to work with my Dell Inspiron 560.

• Error message when printing - Communication not available, cannot communicate with the computer

  Original title: for some reason, my computer and printer communicate is no longer... I spent every day toubleshooting... always get this box: Communication not available, cannot communicate with the computer

  I have a Dell Inspiron E1505 laptop and Dell AIO 924 printer if that helps! all cables are correctly connected, unplugged, replugged, shut down rebooted, uninstalled / printer driver, always even reinstalled!

  uuggghhhhh!

  flustered2,

  You recently reinstall the operating system? If so, have you installed the drivers in the order?
  How to download and install drivers in the correct order

  First run delete print jobs to remove all print jobs stuck in the queue.

  Unplug the printer.

  Download and run the patch (cleaning printer utility) until it prompts you to restart your computer.

  Restart your computer.

  Now you can install the printer using the Dell Printer 924 disc.

  Link to the patch/drivers(if needed) is to...

  Dell 924 Photo-All - In - One Printer owners thread (W7)

  Don't forget the programs anti-virus and firewall will block communications.

  Also try this tweak...

  Go into Device Manager (right click on my computer, left click Properties, material of the left click, left click Device Manager)

  Go to the section USB controller, and then click the plus sign +.

  Go to each USB hub root and right-click on it, on the left, click Properties, on the left, click power management. Uncheck the allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.

  Restart your computer.

  Ideas: I have problems with my Dell v305 printer I tried everything. Error message indicates that the printer is not communicating with the computer

  Hi vanessa James Sluys Veer,.

  Probably you should install/update your printer drivers for your operating system.

• Lexmark Interpret S405 is not communicating with the computer and will not print

  My computer works with Windows 7 and updates automatically.  I got the Lexmark Interpret S405 for 18 months, and it has worked great until a couple of months.  When I try to print, I get an error message indicating that the printer is not communicating with the computer.  When I check the printer, it shows he's ready.  The print job shows that it is ready to print, but nothing happens except for this message.  When I try to erase the impression, it really takes a lot of time - usually have to unplug the printer so that it can finally clear.  Then it still will not print if I try again unless I restart the computer.  Lexmark support page says that there is a problem with Windows 7 and their product.  All the solutions for this problem yet?

  Computer model of the bridge ZX6970, OS 64-bit, intel CORE CPU I-13 3.30 GHz, Windows 7 Home Premium.  Can someone advise a fix for this problem?  Thank you!

  Hello

  Have you tried to download and install the updated firmware for the Lexmark Interpret S405 from the manufacturer's website.

  If this isn't the case, please download and install it.

  Download Firmware for your printer!

• My printer is configured to start when the computer turns on. I want to reconfigure it so that it does not turn

  My printer is configured to start when the computer turns on.  I want to reconfigure it so that it won't turn.  I know this is probably a simple change, but I can't find the path anywhere.  Any help?

  I guess you do NOT mean that you have both printer and computer plugged into the same power strip and both are turn on when you turn on the power strip.

  As nearly as I can determine the rather thin material in the Guide for the Dell P713w user, probably have enabled "Eco-Mode" or the mode 'sleep '.  See page 19 of the User Guide (if you don't have it, download it here: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/PRN_P713w/en/index.htm).

  When this feature is enabled, the printer goes into mode low power when it has been idle for a while.  When the computer is off, the printer is by definition inactive and so will go to low power, shortly after that the computer is turned off.  When the computer is turned on, it detects the presence of the printer and connects to the printer.  Apparently, the printer interprets this string as the "no-idle" and out of his low-power mode, which appears as if it is "turn on."

  In addition, this printer performs an automatic maintenance cycle every week if it is plugged into a power outlet. It will briefly exit Power Saver mode or turn on temporarily if it is disabled.

  At least one of the lights on the printer flashes power on and off when you think that the printer is turned off?  If so, it is in energy saving mode.

  Of course, I may be totally wrong, but it seems to me if you actually turn off the printer by pressing the button on / off on screen, he should not be able to auto (except once / week maintenance cycle).  From the Manual:

  Note: When the printer is turned on, press [power] to switch to the power saving mode. Press and hold [power] for 3 seconds to turn off the printer.

• I installed Vista in a Virtualbox VM and the product key does not work, how to fix this? I use the same product key supplied with the computer originally.

  I bought a Dell Precision T3400 of Dell Financial Services and it came with Vista Business installed.  I installed a new hard drive and installed Vista in a Virtualbox VM by using the recovery disk that came with the computer, and the product key does not work for activation.  I get a message that says I need to activate Windows, but he says that the product key is not valid.  How can I fix it?

  Thank you

  If you have reinstalled the OEM of Vista Business copy on the new hard drive, as Bill says you can't also use it in a virtual machine.

  You can only reuse your OEM of Vista professional copy if it is no longer used on the computer. Do you have what operating system installed on the new hard drive? It was an upgrade copy or complete the license?

  If you used a license to upgrade to another edition of Windows to replace your copy of company then Vista Business license is still in use (for upgrade) and you cannot reuse it in your virtual machine.

  However if you replaced Vista business with a copy of the full license of another edition then you are able to use the OEM copy in a virtual machine, but only on the same computer. You must use the product key from COA to the label on the computer. The product key is put in the copy OEM cannot find the SLIC table on the host motherboard. You must use the phone activation from within the virtual machine. Click on start in Vista Business and typing "slui 4. Do not meet the audio guests until it asks you if you want to speak to an agent. Explain that you have completely replaced the OEM copy with a copy of the full license of the new windows and now want to use the OEM copy in a virtual machine on the same computer. Agent will then give you the activation string. Remember that the virtual machine is not transferable to any other computer.

• Windows Vista Home Basic preinstalled on my Compaq laptop will not accept code provided with the computer installation.

  Windows Vista Home Basic preinstalled on my Compaq laptop will not accept code provided with the computer installation. HP can't help. Your say talking to HP and HP technicians say they are unable to help him. I'm now using valid XP. HP say that conflict with Vista. Can anyone help?

  original title: VISTA VS. XP

  Your technicians say talk to HP

  Sorry, this is not Microsoft.  This is a public forum from user to user hosted by Microsoft on its servers for the comfort of its clients, and we all here are volunteers.

  You say you use XP.  What is your question?  What do you mean 'conflicts with Vista?

  I suggest recovery discs you order from HP for your computer.  If HP is no longer the issue of stocks you can order such a third of Recovery - Disks.com.  There are several of these companies.  If you are going to use XP, you need to install XP from scratch and this means that you need XP drivers for your brand and model.  If HP has no XP drivers on your computer you must not try to use XP on it.

  Remember that Vista Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium and Ultimate out of Microsoft support on 10 April and there will be more updates, including critical security patches after that date.  Only Vista business and company will continue to receive updates.  You might consider this a good time to upgrade to Windows 7.  You must download and run the Windows Update Advisor once you restored Vista successfully.

• USB ports do not work, although I can charge my phone with the computer, it wont let me view my data from the phone.

  I had my computer about a month ago and it was working fine. But then, all ports usb stopped working on me. Although I can charge my phone with the computer, it doesn't let me see my data from the phone. I've tried everything.

  I'm guessing that this problem came from me turning off the computer by disconnecting it instead of turn it off manually.

  Help, please.

• Dell V313 printer cannot communicate with the computer

  When I try to print from my Acer Aspire Windows 7 on my dell v313, I get the message "communication not available - the printer cannot communicate with the computer. It's already happened, but when I restarted the computer it would print. Now, it won't. I replaced the USB cable and downloaded the last Cabinet V313 - and the software. Ink cartridges are filled. I am holder of a horse's hoof and a 4 leaf clover; but nothing works. What can I try now? Thanks for any help,

  Mike

  Mike,

  You can try to disable the ToolTips of printers. If the printer is wireless, try channel 11 in your wireless router. You can also try to remove computers printer scan list and then restart the computer and see if it prints.

  Start, Control Panel, devices and printer, your printer, printing preferences, advanced, more control options. Tell him to never show. The problem with this setting is that you can not tell if you are weak of ink, printer jams, etc..

• My Lexmark printer stopped working and the error message says "printer cannot communicate with the computer" (from "twisted into the USB pins?).

  When my printer stopped working because of error messages about "printer cannot communicate with the computer" (from "twisted into the USB pins?), I tried to change to 2nd USB port without success. I tried a new cable; that did not help.

  Then I uninstalled and reinstalled my Lexmark printer and changed the error message. Now, the printer does not work because "the USB device is not recognized."

  I tried to update the chips; Use 1 USB port; and using the old cable, all this without success. I checked the connections of the cable to the printer and the PC and turn on the printer and goes off; I'm out of ideas. Any other suggestions?
