Reference Dell 5100 printer prints at all after installation.

Accidentally, I uninstalled my Dell 5100cn peripheral window PCL6 printer and printer and reinstalled. But now it does not print and does not even printed the test page.

I reinstalled it in the same window by right clicking and choose Add a printer. I chose "Add local printer" since it is directly connected to my computer via the cable from the printer. I selected "use the driver that is currently installed (recommended)."
I used Windows Update to check for updates to driver for the printer, but nothing found. Driver seems to date.
I can still see the status of 'Test Page': 'Impression' looking at "see what's printing" after right click on the printer, but there is no activity or a any from the printer.
Other people in my office were able to print this topic.
I have Windows 7.
Help, please! I have no idea why this isn't printing!

Well, I got it working! Looks like I took the wrong printer Port.

Initially left the port of the printer as the default choice that has been "LPT1: (Printer Port).
I uninstalled and deleted all traces of the printer driver for the 5100cn printer. So I decided to choose the "USB001 (virtual printer to USB port)" printer port option because it is connected to my computer via USB and printed successfully.
Thank you for all your help. I'm just glad it was something simple and easily overlooked.

  • Dell 1600n printer goes offline after a stop / restart

    I have a Netgear 802.11 wireless router g with an HP 6840 printer & a Dell 1600n multifunction printer connected by ethernet cables.
     
    My different computers Macintosh, Windows XP and Vista have been printing of these priinters via wireless without problem for years past connections.
     
     
    I got a new laptop Lenovo T410, with Windows 7, in January 2010.
     
    Can I install two remote printers on that system and then print them via the wireless router.
     
    However, when I stop or restart the T410, the 1600n printer is "offline".
     
    I then have to 'Remove' this printer and re-install (via "add a printer") on the T410.
     
    It seems 'persistence' through a system reboot with the Windows 7 system.
     
    The HP printer works fine, the status "Ready" showing after a reboot.
     
    Both printers to work well after the closures and restarts on Mac, XP, and Vista systems.
     
    I use a static IP address for the 1600n and have the latest driver for Windows 7 from Dell.
     
    Another piece of data:
    During the process of "Add a printer", the HP printer is automatically detected, I select, and then add it.
    The Dell printer is not discovered, and I have to add it as a TCP/IP address, the "generic device', type"Dell network printer", then the specifically"Dell MFP Laser 1600n.
     
    Any ideas would be appreciated - Lenovo and Dell technical support will not help solve - suffice to say that it is a problem of Microsoft.

    This means that the machine has not received response to an SNMP request to the network adapter on the printer and when the frequency is not received the printer is marked offline.

    Uncheck SNMP on the Ports tab.   When SNMP is not checked that there will be no SNMP request to the device and the Standard TCP/IP Port will not mark the printer offline.   When the network cable is disconnected from the printer, the port monitor will always schedule the print job and work will go into an error state rather than not print until the device responds to the SNMP query.

    As the device supports LPD Printing Service, you might add the LPR Port Monitor, add to the LPR Port configuration / feature in Windows by using information provided by Dell.  The queue name, supported by the LPD service running on the network card in the printer is lp.

    There is also a command line utility when installing the LPR Port Monitor function.  lpq.exe

    lpq IPofPrinter Pei lp s

    This query and returns the status of the service on the device.

  • Reference Dell V313 printer

    Hello - I'm a little late to the party, but I just found two updates (firmware, a driver for the OS deployment, both of 2012) on your website for my Dell V313 printer. Since these updates are of two years (can't get more recent updates), is it acceptable to go ahead and have them? Is there previous updates (since 2010, I got this printer) which should be made first, or can I go straight to the latter of 2012? Thank you.

    Redtail1,

    Can you copy, print, scan and fax without problems? If so, then do nothing.

    If it is not broke, do not try to fix it.

  • Reference Dell 2135cn print very light drum cartridge replace?

    I have a Dell 2135cn printer.  It is 1 year.  It has started printing very light copies.  I replaced the toner cartridges, but he continued to print light.  I have ordered that a drum cartridge and who took care of the problem.  That was 3 months ago.  Now the printer prints very light once again, without success, when I replace the toner cartridges.  Do I need an another drum cartridge?  Is it normal to have to replace the drum cartridge so often.  What else could be the cause of this problem?  Thanks for your help.

    I just had the same experience - called Dell technical support.  I use the replacement toner.  Even if my 2135cn is 3 years old, he apparently has a support life support phone.  In any case, the fix was to enter in the Setup, maintenance, admin, non Dell toner - be sure to what it gives 'On '.  My was not, and as soon as I changed it to, black printing went from barely legible to acceptable.

  • Reference Dell 375 Bluetooth no longer works after update Windows 8, R296919, blocked by the Compatibility Assistant programs - how to fix

    Hardware: Dell laptop with adapter Bluetooth 375 Dell running Windows 8

    Problem: after Microsoft Windows 8 update, all Bluetooth devices stopped working.  Moreover, they could is more to be discovered to pair them up.  Device Manager showed all works very well.

    Failure of attempts to repair:
    -Uninstall all components of Bluetooth in the Device Manager and analysis of the material changes.
    -Uninstall Dell 375 in programs & features (WIDCOMM Bluetooth Software) in order to reinstall (R296919).  The installation was quickly blocked by the program compatibility Wizard.

    -Check in Bluetooth services and services were running.

    What worked:

  • Reference Dell M620 and M820 ESXi 5.1 installation

    I'm relatively new to VMware on Dell hardware. The closest thing that I believe to a custom image is 'VMware ESXi 5.1 update 1 Image Recovery"(http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/driverdetails?driverid=RD5JN). I assumed it to be ESXi 5.1 update 1 with favorite Dell specifc driver packages. I had planned to use this new installs feeling that it would include the latest drivers for my Dell M620 and M820s and would be preferable to base VMware image.

    1. It is the support for the installation of these blades?
    2. The description says « Ce ISO image should only be used to restore/reinstall VMware ESXi on image for SD Card/USB Key on the supported Dell platforms. »
      • I am confused by the specification 'only' restore/reinstall and not install.
      • Also confused by the mention of the only card SD and USB to the apparent exclusion of standard hard drives.

    I installed with it as a test and it looks good, but I'm uncomfortable with the description. I would be grateful for any additional information or insight to those who support ESXi in Dell stores.

    Hi vmproteau,

    Here are my answers to your question based on my experience. I have no experience with the M620 or M820 I manages around 240 M610, 60 R710, the R720 10, so I am familiar with Dells ESXi 5.1 servers update 1.

    (1) Yes, I would recommend using the ISO provided Dell printer if you are not familiar with creating your own package with the necessary drivers and firmware.

    (2) this ISO standard will include all drivers for supported Dell servers and some customizations of Dell and can be used for new installations regardless of the storage (SD, USB or HD Local) option. I would like to look out for is mainly to make sure that you update the firmware on all of your blades with the most recent available by Dell that ESXi is very picky with the pilot and also incompatible firmware Dell CMC with thanks to a few mistakes from time to time.

    Kind regards

    Removal of print jobs is a way of really nice to get rid of your documents. After you restart your computer, you should be able to run the fix, Manual printer removal driver and restart once more. Try it to install the Vista drivers in compatibility mode, I used Vista SP2.

    Right click on the file setup.exe, on the left, click Properties, compatibility of the left click. Change Vista compatibility. Then, install the appropriate drivers. You will be asked when connect (printer)

    To install the drivers, sometimes the file decompresses and does nothing. You must find the setup.exe file, right-click on it, then on the left click on run as administrator *.

  • Reference Dell MFP printer not print.

    I bought a new Dell anything anbout one laser printer low there. I installed it. I can see the icons on my two computers. But when I try to print, either directly but through cable or wireless (I have a router which works fine), I get the error is "no printer error paper or. In addition, I could not send a fax - machine was sound and sending it came out with the error. Before this printer I used HP printer which worked very well. I'm not able to get any help either Dell or the vendor, Staples. I would much appreciate if someone can help me.

    Answer: * address email is removed from the privacy *

    Thank you...

    I have no way of knowing if you have purchased an extended warranty (or package), Staples and Dell.  If you have registered your Dell product online, you should be able to determine the status of your warranty by entering the number of serial number of your printer here--> http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04
    This article explains how to find your serial number--> http://www.dell.com/support/contents/us/en/04/article/Product-Support/Self-support-Knowledgebase/locate-service-tag/Printer

    You had two icons for your printer showing in devices and printers, probably because one is for the USB connection and the other for the wi - fi connection.  Assuming you have an edition of Windows 7, follow these steps:

    • Open devices and printers
    • Right-click on your Dell printer icon, then select "printer properties".
    • Select the "Ports" tab

    One of the lines in the list of ports is highlighted and verified.  Look at the value in the "ports" column (if necessary, click and drag over the low vertical line in the header line to make the column wider).  If the value is an IP address (for example, 192.168.1.25), then this icon represents your wi - fi connection to the printer.  If the value is something like USB_001 or DOT4_001, this icon represents the USB connection (cable) to the printer.

    If your printer will work with two active connections (some printers will disable the wi - fi connection if the printer is connected via USB), then you must give these names separate icons so that you can choose whatever you intend to use at any time.

    I suggest that you are troubleshooting with the printer connected by USB (cable).  In this way, you don't have to worry about if you have the appropriate safety information to connect to your wi - fi network.

    Regarding faxing or incoming calls "answering machine" printer, the printer must be connected to a regular telephone line to send faxes.  If this is the same line that you normally use to make and receive calls, the portion of the printer fax is probably configured by default to answer all incoming calls.  There should be a setting somewhere in the configuration of the printer system to change this to never answer or answer only after a number of rings (which gives you a chance to answer a call with your phone).

I switched to Windows 7 Professional and it still does the same thing. I uninstalled the printer and reinstall twice and still can't make it work...

    Hello Charlene,

    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

    According to the description of the problem your printer does not print text on paper as there is no ink. The question might be if there is no ink in the cartridges. Printing problems can be caused by cables that are not properly connected, corrupt, drivers, incompatible drivers, the printer settings, missing updates and problems with your printer.

    I suggest to check first the ink in the cartridges, and if possible, try to change with a new and see if it makes a difference. You can also try to clean the ink cartridge nozzles.

    If the problem persists, you can try the steps outlined in the methods mentioned below and see if it helps you to solve the problem.
