Unable to get my computer set up with my printer

Original title: I tried to install my new printer to my computer.  Using the installation wizard supplied with the printer, when I try to enter the text requested that the typed letters and words are not visible.

I tried to install my new printer to my computer.  Using the installation wizard supplied with the printer, when I try to enter the text requested that the typed letters and words are not visible.  So he always tells me that my information is not valid and does not accept anything.  Why this is happening and what can I do about it?  Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, GLC! **

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Unable to get the email address for the new printer HP 3525...

    Hello, today I received my HP Deskjet 3525. Although I use a 3G dongle to connect my PC to the internet, but still I don't get an email ID for my printer to print report page. My question is whether the printer should be connected to the router to get an email ID and if the answer is Yes is their anyway I can get an identification of email for my printer without using a router because I do not have a router. Please explain in simple language. Thank you

    Hello Diane,.

    Welcome to the HP Support forums. I appreciate that you try to configure the printer Deskjet Ink Advantage 3525 ePrint feature.

    The printer must be connected to a wireless network with internet access to be able to use ePrint to the printer (as shown on the homepage of HP ePrintCenter).  If the 3G dongle you use broadcasts a wireless network then you should be able to connect the printer to the network.  However, if the 3G dongle goes with you then the printer wireless connection would be lost and web services would stop until the printer is connected to a wireless network with internet access again.

    If you connect the printer to a wireless network with internet access you can find the ePrint printer e-mail address by following the steps to get the printer application Code.

  • I am unable to get the computer manufacturer to send the disc to reinstall Vista. I tried to do this task almost 3 weeks. I need to reinstall Vista so that I can upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit. Please help me. I have the product code.

    I mistakenly installed the 32-bit version of Windows 7, and I try to install the 64-bit version.  Info on other forums says there is no way to do it without a disk... I do not have with the computer.

    To go from 32 bit to 64 bit, you have to do with a FULL 64-bit version, by performing a clean install. so I don't see what the problem on Vista reinstall is.

    Unless you have Vista 64 bit, it will not help you upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit.

    How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their way of doing recovery disk/s.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  • white screen after update; Unable to get the computer to open even in SafeMode (Sony Viao Vista)

    After you start this morning, had a message saying necessary to revive the updates to take effect.  Rebooted and got blank screen for a long time.  Did a hard STOP.  Have tried rebooting but it just cans.  Have you tried to reboot (drums on the introduction of Microsoft screen), normally in safe mode (with and without networking) - cans after loading files Windows with "Please wait...". ».  Help!

    Download the ISO on the provided link and do a repair of the disc.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    You can make a tool to restart system, System Restore, etc. with it.

  • Unable to get XML attributes in elements with function XMLTABLE

    I cannot get attributes of an XML stored in an XMLTYPE column.  The XML uses primarily attributes rather than items with a value of tag/matching.  If I put the knot in the first argument of the function XMLTABLE, he shoots the attribute at this level.  However, when I try to retrieve the attributes of the child node, I don't get the attribute values.  I'm working on the 11.2.0.3.0 Oracle database version.

    This is the create/insert statements:

    CREATE TABLE XML_TBL_TEST

    (

    ID NUMBER,

    XMLTYPE data

    );

    INSERT INTO XML_TBL_TEST

    VALUES (1, xmltype ("< user >

    < username = "Name2" >

    < / user >

    < username = "Name3" >

    < / user >

    ((< / user > '));

    The query below will draw the Name attribute in the element of the user but not the OpId, QId and PName attributes on the child of the Project element.

    SELECT x.*

    OF XML_TBL_TEST t.

    XMLTABLE (-with xmlnamespaces ('http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' as "xsi"), )

    QId NUMBER PATH ' / Users/User/Projects/Project/@QId' by DEFAULT 0,

    OpId NUMBER PATH '. (/ Project/@OpId' 0 by DEFAULT) x;

    The following query will get OpId, QId and PName attributes in the child project item.

    SELECT x.*

    OF XML_TBL_TEST t.

    XMLTABLE (-with xmlnamespaces ('http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' as "xsi"), )

    PName VARCHAR2 (30) PATH "@PName."

    QId NUMBER PATH "@QId" default 0,

    OpId NUMBER PATH "@OpId" DEFAULT 0) x;

    How can I get all the attributes for a given element in the XML document.  I tried a number of options without success.

    FYI, SM

    Because there may be several projects under a user, you must use a 2nd XMLTABLE chained (or a more complex XQuery expression) to retrieve the attributes of two orders:

    SQL > SELECT / * + no_merge (x 1) * /.

    2 x 1. Username, x2.*
