• 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?

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,

  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..

  Just bought this laptop of HP Pavilion dv6-7138us, and had the updated operating system upgraded to Windows 7 Pro, directed by Office Depot until I take possession.  The all-in-one HP Officejet Pro 8600 n911a (bought a few months ago) will be analyzed to this laptop.  I can't access "managing the scan of the computer."  When I try to open the scanner of the icon, the message begins with "scanner cannot communicate with the computer."  I was on the HP support forum, tried to uninstall and reinstall the driver, even tried to download the driver on the net, you run printing HP & scan doctor, tried all disconnect them reconnect restart options, all without success.  The functions of printer normally with this laptop and the printer function scanner AND correctly on other two laptops running Windows XP Pro.  Which makes me suspect that this is a problem Windows 7 Pro.  Could this be just?

  Hello

  1. you have any security program installed on the computer?

  2 did you a recent software or changes to the material on the computer?

  Method 1:

  I suggest you to disable any anti-virus program and check if the problem persists.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

  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.

  Method 2:

  You can also run the printer Troubleshooter and check if it helps.

  Open the printer Troubleshooter

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-printer-Troubleshooter

  Method 3:

  I also suggest to try to run the System File Checker scan on the computer. The scan will replace all the Windows files corrupted with new ones.

  Click on the link mentioned below for further guidance on the scanning of the file system Checker

• Questions of UPD on 4700dn printer - unable to communicate with the printer

  Hello!

  I'm testing the UPD on my laptop which has Windows 7 64 bit on my network printers all in my building. All network printers work fine except one... Color LaserJet 4700dn.

  When you use the UPD interface when you try to print, I try to use the IP address of the printer and it cannot connect. "When you use the search for network printers option, it recognizes the printer, but when I try to connect, I get the error ' unable to communicate with the printer.

  I changed the host name of the printer, changed the IP address on this subject, I can ping the printer and print using the print server, I rebooted the printer... Even got a older laptop that has Windows 7 32-bit and used the UPD 32 bits and the same symptoms occur.

  Any ideas because I hit a brick wall.

  Thank you very much!

  Looks like you can set up a standard port and print ok from a print server.  The UPD in the stream you describe will attempt to make multiple calls SNMP to determine the abilities of the printer, and those who are failing, causing the UPD to throw the error you see.

  Take a look at the network settings in the SAP.  Specifically, under Security, management of the protocols and the SNMP tab.  Watch to see if one of these parameters differ from other devices that work, like maybe SNMP is disabled on the YOA 4700n.

• Printers HP B110a cannot communicate with the laptop, but both will be connected to the router?

  OK, here's an interesting problem that has been banging my brain for hours, one of my friends has a HP Photosmart all in one printer B110a. Now I can get the printer to connect to the wireless router, no problem. Can I also have the phone to connect to the router, the problem is that the printer cannot communicate with the laptop. The router brand and model is the Linksys wrt54g

  Now, I took my friends laptop home and tried to see if she could detect my wireless printer model different on my router which is a TP WR340GD I went in devices and printers, and went to Add a printer and Add Printer wireless, it instantly detected my printer via the wireless network. There is no problem on the side of the laptop. I am sure that any firewall on the laptop was turned off when I tried the connected printer.

  So now I have my friends printer here with me and decided to try and see if I could detect the HP Photosmart printer All In One Printer on my laptop on my TP WR340GDwireless router. Yet once, it worked perfectly and it has detected the printer and works wireless without fault.

  I'm down now to the conclusion that the problem is with my friends router Linksys wrt54g I'm gone in the settings of the router, change the wireless channels, changed security between WEP and WPA/WPA2 and AES AND TKIP wireless and this does not solve the problem.

  I can access to the Photosmart B110a: the Web server integrated in a browser ONLY if I have the laptop to the router physically connected by Ethernet cable when trying to access my router from a friend, but I can access through wireless on my router. The problem is probably something very simple that I forgot, but I was more all I can think that I tried to reset harder than the printer cleaned the network settings on the printer as well from the display of the printer menu.

  I'm really lost now, someone at - it suggestions?

  Hey pcwizard, ok, I checked the router settings and Mac filtering turned on, so I decided to reset the router, it restored to factory settings. Re-Setup wireless and once again I tried, still had no luck with the laptop to communicate with the printer.

  in any case, I decided to connect the cable from the printer to the laptop and took the USB to wireless Assistant. As I reinstalled it the printer using the wired method.

  He told me that the rules of traffic incoming and outgoing firewall stopped communication between devices and assign port numbers 427-9000 etc.. However, I had turned off all firewall, Windows and Norton 360, which since then, I've replaced with a better anti-virus software.

  I went into the settings of the router, port forwarded the application numbers, tried again and is again no luck. I'm usually pretty good with computers, but it was really annoying me. So I went and had a coffee and a brainwave came and I decided to see if my laptop could detect and connect the printer to the router. As soon as I tried it, he finds and the printer has detected immediately.

  Then I thought there must be something on my laptop to friends who may be at the origin of the problem, when I looked, I noticed that my friend had the old software Vodafone Mobile Broadband running in the background which was connected to the router.

  So I closed and turn it off and tried again adding printer. SUCCESS now detects it and the printer is now communicate and respond with the laptop. I'm guessing that the Vodafone Mobile Broadband have a built-in firewall blocking the communication. However it is strange because it worked without problem on my printer at home, so I wonder if some how blacklisted broadband Vodafone IP address of the printer at a time on their router.

  I'm so happy, it's finally done, a lot of hours and work, and after all this time it was * beep * Vodafone.

  in any case Pcwizard I thank very much for trying to help, no doubt has given me a few ideas.

  Thanks again!
