  • Lost the dongle to my optical mouse Dell R 201 WW, you want to configure the Dell laptop to communicate with the Bluetooth mouse.

    Original title: Dell optical mouse

    question: I lost my optical mouse Dell R 201 WW dongle.  Is it possible to set up my Dell laptop, Core i5 M (450) to connect with the mouse via BlueTooth?  Or do I have to buy a new dongle?  Thanks for any help.

    The WM311 is a mouse RF 2.4 GHz not bluetooth so unable to connect without a dongle (support with the right model). Most bluetooth devices have the logo of the 'B' double triangle on the label

    It is also likely that you will be able to re-pair to another dongle, they are coded to avoid 2 mouse interfere with each other.

  • Printer all of a sudden not to communicate with the laptop and cannot print, possibly because of antivirus software?

    All of a sudden I can't print from my laptop, wireless or via the USB port.  I get an error message "the printer does not."  I did the dx/repair and was able to print a test page, but that's all.  I would like to know if it would be because of my antivirus/firewall software?

    I use Windows 8 on an HP laptop.  Security software is Norton.  This has never happened before and I "ve been using this Norton subscription for at least 8 months, maybe longer.

    Is there something I can do in Norton settings to solve this problem?

    Thank you.

    Well, do not know what is happening in the cosmos, people, but it is printing again, but only with a USB cable, not of wireless.  Sigh.  Here, I'll still.

  • Unable to communicate with the host computer using the network University compactRIO

    Please move this topic to the appropriate section if it is not the right section. I can't locate a Council called the compactRIO. Thank you very much.

    I encounter this problem of network communication with my cRIO 9067. the linklocal or USB connection is fine but not static IP connection on the network. I contacted the it Department to assign me a static IP address for my MAC address of cRIO. In our University, they block only unknown MAC address access and the cRIO is in the whitelist. Here are the details

    cRIO attributed to IP address: 129.12.54.xxx, tried both netmask 255.255.255.0 and 255.255.0.0, no luck

    the host computer's static IP address: 129.12.50.xxx, subnet mask 255.255.255.0 (information of cmd - ipconfig)

    First question would be: they are on the same subnet? I need to make sure that even if scientists confirm that.

    Secondly, I followed https://www.ni.com/getting-started/set-up-hardware/compactrio/static-ip by using the IP address assigned, but not luck. I've noticed that I configure same address type cRIO static IPv4 using the USB connection or for local link mode, she went in DHCP mode or Local link once I unplug the USB and restart it.

    Whenever I restart MAX, connect the cRIO and my host to Ethernet jack on the wall, it shows the DHCP mode or link with assigned Local 129.12.54.xxx IP and the subnet mask 255.255.255.248. In addition, I am not able to change it in a drop-down list even after removing it and restart MAX indicated by tutorials OR.

    If you need more information, please let me know.

    Help, please!

    Dear Mikko,

    I am pleased to tell you that the problem has been resolved. The cRIO works very well.

    The reason why it does not work is in first place because they are in the other subnet. For my school, my host is 12x.1x.54.130 and the IP assigned to my cRIO is 12x.1x.54.131. the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 number marked in red must be the same for the cRIO is connected correctly.

    Kind regards

  • My Dell all-in-one 962 stopped printing all of a sudden. The error messages are that the computer cannot communicate with the printer.

    My Dell 962 All In One Printer suddenly stopped to print. I get an error message that the computer cannot communicate with the printer. The error message suggests that I unplug and plug back the power plug and the USB cable to the printer and make sure that there are no restrictions of firewall to the printer. I did what was suggested and still no printing. I have resinstaled the printer from the CD software, I got with the computer and also installed the latest driver using the software of the software upgrade wizard.

    and also installed the latest driver by using the Software Update Wizard software.

    That would not have been the best idea... but it is unlikely that the cause of your immediate problem.

    The next thread does not make much sense to me, but it describes a situation similar to what you described and the proposed solution is supposed to have worked.  Try it and see--> http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/peripherals/f/3528/t/19483019

    I suspect that what really happens is that the driver has become corrupted.  In many cases, simply reinstall the driver is not fix things; you have to clean the old corrupt driver before installing the new.  Thus, it is more likely that the part "Uninstall" the related response is what is helping rather than playing with services... but go ahead and follow these directions, just in case.  In fact, I suggest that you run under first antimalware scanners before following the tips in the above link.

    If I had not found the link above, that's what I would have suggested (whichrequires that you have Windows XP):

    Often, but not always, the symptoms you describe are caused by a corrupt print job stuck in the queue or a damaged printer driver.  However before you clean things up, on general principles, that you can download, install, update and run full scans with each of these two free programs.

    MalwareBytes AntiMalware

    SUPERAntiSpyware

    Use the free version, not the free trials of "pro" versions  Pay attention during installation uncheck any prechecked boxes that would install some additional third-party programs.

    Do not run the scans at the same time.  Each scan will take a while.  Start one and go do a non-it chore.  Once the scan is finished, leave the program to deal with anything it finds.

    Once done, you can keep or uninstall programs, or both.  If you keep SAS, I suggest to change its default setting does NOT automatically when Windows starts.

    Uninstall all software from Dell to control panel > Add / Remove programs

    Download Microsoft Fixit 50126 impression: http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9662904

    Close all running applications (anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    Run the Fixit routine.  Note: The routine Fixit has two modes, light and complete.  It will run in full mode when you check the box "Reset the spooler to print on values."  This will remove all printers, so if you have any other printer installed, I recommend running the Fixit in full mode.  If you have other printers and you do not (necessarily) want to reinstall them, run the Fixit in light mode (box unchecked).  This may work anyway.  You must restart the computer after you run in full mode; you need not restart after the Chase mode.

    After the Fixit has executed and you have restarted if necessary, make sure that the printer is disconnected from the computer and run the installation software.  You will be asked to connect the printer to a suitable place.  You can use the CD that came with the computer or download the software here (which is relatively hard to find, the claims of the main page of the 962 product support it cannot find the drivers)--> http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=R89490

  • 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,

    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..

  • HP Photosmart C4780 cannot print (communicate) with Windows 8 Dell desktop

    Product name: HP Photosmart C4780

    Operating system: Windows 8 64-bit

    Error message: "the computer is unable to establish two-way communication with the device.

    Changes: I installed the "full functionality" print driver available on hp.com for Windows 8

    Description:

    When I send a Word Document to print the C4780 will spit on white paper.  I think that the ink levels are cool, but when I try to check the ink levels using the Toolbox "printer" in the HP Solution Center, I see the error message (see above).

    I've uninstalled and reinstalled the driver updated several times now. Whenever the installation seems to have success, but it does not solve the problem.  I also tried to install the driver of "basic" printing for the Photosmart series, but I still have the same question.

    The printer is connected to the computer via a USB cable; I'm not currently using the wireless feature.  Thank you for your help with this.

  • Printer problems. Error "computer cannot communicate with the printer.

    I had problems to access Windows Explorer and the rep Dell IT installed Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta 10 for my Windows Vista as an alternative.  Now my Dell AIO 946 printer does not work.  Whenever it is fixed, it prints until I am notified to download an upgrade of the system.  After that I downloaded the upgrade, the printer does not work yet.  The ink cartridges will not align.  I get a message of "remove stickers ink", which is clearly not the problem because the cartridges are not new.  Now, I get a message that says "computer cannot communicate with the printer.  I re-installed the printer several times, disconnected from the power source and the URL and re-connected.  Nothing seems to work.  Any positive advice will be appreciated.

  • 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?

  • Unable to communicate with the printer E710 6500

    I have a HP Officejet 6500 a Plus E710n-z.  He has in the past, but is no longer connects (by wireless) to my computer (Apple OSX 10.8.4).  It became intermittent in the last month, and then did not answer at all.  I had a growing list of items to be printed.

    I followed each step- http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02205477 .

    WiFi to each is not a problem.

    The printer has been disconnected (deleted) as the printer from the computer.  I was able to add in the part 'scanner' printer, but cannot add to the printer - it has the message "unable to communicate with the printer.

  • 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.
