I was only able to print one page and then both my printer and my computer would display an error message about the printer's inability to print.  Since then I've been able to resolve my specific problem.
I
1. uninstalled HP from my computer (checked to ensure that my printer was no longer visible in my printers and the HP Utility software was nowhere to be found), 
2. grabbed the software/driver update from Aug, 2010,
3. installed the Aug, 2010 update, and my problems seem to have been fixed.
This is where I got my 2010 update from (obviously you should get the driver/software applicable to your OS and specific printer):

  • Communication Failure: The computer is no longer able to communicate with your printer.

    Hello, I have a HP Officejet J6480 All-in-One printer.  When I try to print, I receive this error message:
    "Communication Failure: The computer is no longer able to communicate with your printer. Turn the printer off, check your printer connections and check for printer errors, and turn the printer back on."
     I am using a Mac PowerBook G4, OS v10.5.7.  I have tried the following:
    -- rebooted my Mac
    -- turned printer off/on
    -- rebooted wireless router
    -- tried to print using USB cable.
    I continue to receive the same error message. Helllllllllllllllp!!!!
    A couple of other things I need to mention:  I bought this printer in June and have been able to print just fine since purchasing
    this printer. As recently as Friday, July 3, I was able to print and printed 6 or 7 pages then.  This is CRAZY!!!!
    Thanks.

  • HP C4580: Communication Failure: The computer is no longer able to communicate with your printer.

    Hi,
    After having successfully set up the C4580 and run some test printouts which were all very satisfactory, this morning the above message appeared.
    The error message box suggests to "Turn the printer off, check your printer connections and check for printer errors, and turn the printer back on."
    I tried this, but I'm still unable to print. Any suggestions? By the way my computer is a Mac if this helps.
    Many thanks

    These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
    Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
    If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? (For example, 8007000B.)

    I am trying to download iTunes, it gets so far and then I get an error message that says that an old Bonjour cannot be removed, it goes on a bit further and says and old Apple Software Update cannot be removed; and then it says that the installation was interrupted and to try again.
    I have gone to the control panel and tried to remove all traces of Bonjour, Apple, Quicktime but the two will not be removed it says that their .msi file and missing and to try to find them.  I have even reinstalled the programs from the ProgramData files in an attempt to repair or replace the missing files but I still get the same answer. 
    Can anyone help me? I need iTunes up and running to sync with my phones.
    Thank you for your help,

    Hi Barbara,
    I had a similar problem recently and using the "more like this" feature I discovered an answer. To a problem posed by Holo7,  who like myself was a newbie on this platform,  b noir proposed a solution to Holo7's problem that also worked with my problem. It involves downloading a version of MS Windows Instal Cleanup and using it to completely remove all traces of the old version.
    If you look at my problem (follow OldGit66) and the link to Holo7's problem then you will find b noir's answer which I think may help you. I am new around here so you might want to wait for one of the higher status correspondents.
    Regards

    What is your definition of "more efficiently"? If it's limitation of search results, branded search, and limitation of styling your results then google search is more efficient. Real developers rely on their own developments. For example: how can google search display results from a password-protected site? They can't.

  • HP printer error: computer is no longer able to communicate

    I have an OfficeJet L7680 and a G5 iMac running OS 10.5.8. And for the last six months, every time I installed new software or hardware ANYWHERE the printer stopped communicating with displayed this message in the print queue window:
    "Communication Failure: The computer is no longer able to communicate with your printer. Turn the printer off, check your printer connections and check for printer errors, and turn the printer back on"
    The standard 'fix' on this is to manually un-install the print driver and reinstall it. After doing this 3X on 3 computers, I discovered that running HP Setup Assistant seems to fix the problem -- so far, anyway.
    I know that many people have had this problem with generations of OS/X and HP printers, so I hope this is helpful.

    I just had a similar problem. I had a hard drive going bad and put in a new one and used time machine to recover from. For what ever reason I started getting the safe error message when I tried to print. The only solution I found that would work was to delete all of the printers and then reload.
    Strange to say the least. I have never really had any printer problems.
