• 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.

  Method 2:

  You can even perform a restore of the system to a previous point, when the issue was not present. The System Restore tool uses points of restore to return the system files and settings to an earlier point in time. You can use it to restore the operating system to a point in time when you have not experienced the problem.

   

  Note: When you use System restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

  To do this, there must be a restore point from the system in which the connection was successful.

  Refer to the following help link on performing a system restore.

• 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.

• 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!

• Screensaver not working only not with the hot corner

  I used to have my screensaver set to start with the upper left corner of my screen using the feature 'hot corner '.

  However, lately, he doesn't. I tested it with all the other corners, and it does not work.

  I tried other functions with the hot corners and they all work very well. This is just the screensaver that does not work.

  I can set the timer and lights up the screen saver, but not with the hot corner.

  Someone can help me with this, or have any suggestions?

  See you soon!

  Hello Kaijuman,

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  I understand that when you try to start the screen saver by using Active corners it is not. I would like you to test this behavior then starts in safe mode, and then try another user account on your Mac.

  Start in safe mode

  Follow these steps to start in safe mode.

  1. Start or restart your Mac.
  2. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.
  3. Release the SHIFT key when you see the logo Apple appears on the screen.

  After the Apple logo appears, this may take longer than usual to reach the login screen or your office. This is because your Mac performs a check of directory of your drive to boot in safe mode.

  To leave safe mode, restart your computer without pressing any key during startup

  How to test with another user account

  You can find out if unexpected behavior is related to the user file or a parameter in trying to reproduce the problem to a different user account. This process includes creating a new user account, connect to it and test for the issue.

  Create a test user account

  1. In the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
  2. Click the users and groups in the System Preferences window.
  3. Click the lock icon and enter an administrator name and password.
  4. Click on the button Add (+) below the list of users.
  5. Choose a type of user in the new pop-up menu.
  6. Give the user a name and first name, account name, and password.
  7. Click OK.
  8. Close the System Preferences window.

  Connect to the test user account

  Log out of your current user account by choosing logout in the Apple menu, and then open a session the new account that you created. If you are prompted to login with your iCloud or Apple ID account when you log in, skip this step.

  Try to reproduce the problem

  Please let us know what the outcome is so we can help you.

  See you soon.

• 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

  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.

• Printer is not communicating with the computer

  Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

  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.

  Please see the link below for the Dell Web site:

  You ever need connect your device directly. Buy a card reader for
  the type of flash card your camera uses (they are cheap).
  Place the flash card and plug it into a USB port.

  Personally, I prefer to do it this way. It is easier and does not use
  the camera battery. I have both these card readers - one I keep on
  my desk, close my desktop computer and another that I keep in my
  Bag for laptop to use when traveling.

  Hello

  Do you have any application installed on the computer security?

  Method 1:

  If you do, I suggest you to disable anti-virus and check if it solved the problem.

  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.

  If the step is not enough, then you can go to the method 2:

  Method 2:

  I suggest you go through the steps and check.

  a. closed Windows Media Player12.

  b. Access Services [table-> system and security-> administration-> Services tools]

  c. find the service named "Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service"

  d. stop the Service manually.

  e. Locate the "UpnP device host"service. Stop the service and restart it.

  f. run "Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service" now.

  g. close windows all associated and the Panel. Open Windows Media Player, right click on a playlist and see if the Play option lists the TV. Try to play now.

  Hope this helps and keep us posted.

• 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.

• 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?

• printer scan works only with the new windows 7

  upgrade windows xp to windows 7 with the new HP Omni 220PC. Have a printer HP C309g-m. To scan from the printer to the computer xp, I had to use the HP Solution Center. The printer works very well with the new windows 7 program and new computer. I install wireless. No problems with it. Today when I went to scan a document with the HP Solution Center (I thought I had to use as before), this message came.

  "HP Solution Center cannot work because your device installation is not complete. Please connect the usb cable, or rerun the installation for a network installation cd. If it does not complete the installation, or you do not have the cd, access the HP help files by clicking on the start menu. "Everything I did. My installation CD said I had a version of the latest update on the installation CD, it was of no use. I went to the HP site and find a download for the drivers updated etc. I downloaded and installed. (although I don't know whether or not it was a duplicate of the drivers of devices on windows 7 for this.) I checked Add/Remove programs to make sure that the printer and the hp solultion Center have been added to the programs. they are listed. I can always scan with

  the hp Solution Center. Should I not this program to scan with this new pc? How can I scan from my printer now? I even tried to click scan on the printer, then scan to computer. the message I got was 'Try from scan of compurer. Refer to the documentation for more details ".  To be sure, I'm all mixed up now. All I want is for my scan printer to work with my new pc.  Everything works well except that scan thing, may help me understand what to do?:  Thank you

  all fixed. has crossed my computer to start then click HP click HP and open list. Went to my printer-clicked on my printer and clicked on the icon list to see if it worked correctly. This is a problem with the drivers and a box popped up with directions on where and how to download and install the devices for windows 7.
  Done this and tested it and everything works fine now. (Ihad already tried the HP site for support and downloaded and installed the fix suggested for the problem, but it did not work). in any case, its fixed and I hope that if someone has a problem, this information will help you.
