Canon D1100 multipurpose printer cann't comm unicate with compters to print... WHY?

Unfortunately, not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations. In addition, the  AirPort's USB port does not support the "advanced" printer functions, like scanning, copying or faxing, of multi-function printers. 
To see if your printer is compatible, take a look at thisiFelix Unofficial AirPort Printer Compatibility link. If your printer isn't listed, it doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, but simply that it has not been verified. iFelix also provides the following workaround for printers not on the list that would certainly be worth a try.
Also you can try this Apple Tech Support article to see if it will help: Printer troubleshooting for AirPort Base Stations and Time Capsule
Finally, check out this IBM support article to see if your printer is listed as having a Postscript or PCL3 interface. If it does, then it will most likely work with the AirPort's USB port. Printers that use the "HP LIDIL" interface must be connected to a computer directly and will not work.

  • Laptop unable to 'communicate' with hp 3050a printer wirelessly

    laptop unable to 'communicate' with hp 3050a printer wirelessly, could it be the virgin superhub? (been on the phone to Virgin for an hour they said not their problem) i can eprint and print  using a usb cable. Printer displays 'connected' message.
    OS windows 7 64 bit. Tried uninstalling etc, 11 hours on still no joy!

    Hi,
    Did you try HP Auto Wireless Connect?
    1. Restore network defaults from the printer front panel. Wireless>Wireless Settings>Restore Network Defaults.
    2. Download the printer software, http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=al-93470-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...
    3. Before you run the sofware, make sure you computer is wirelessly connected to the Virgin and that the connection is a saved profile(automatically connects). You can check this in the Manage Wireless Networks section of the Windows Network and Sharing Center.
    4. Run the software and select the Wireless connection option.
    5. Select Yes to run HP Auto Wireless Connect.

  • Can i print from my ipad with an wireless printer and an apple app or do i have to have an airprinter?

    Can I print from my ipad with an wireless printer and an apple app or do I have to have an air printer?

    It depends on the printer and if it is shared on your home network.
    I have a wireless HP printer, but it is not an E Printer and cannot print directly from my mobile device.  I purchased an Epson all in one E Printer so that I could print from my tablet.  THe printer cost me less than $90 at Walmart.

  • HP 5510,windows 7, new setup of printer, "unable to communicate with printer" when i try to print

    HP 5510, Windows 7, new printer, just picked it up!, "unable to communicate with printer" when I try to print a page, all network conections check out OK with Print Diagnostic Utility.

    Are you receiving any error messages when you print from the desktop? Its possible the print spooler is having issues which is not pushing the jobs to the printer. Lets restart the print spooler to get any old jobs that could be stuck in the queue removed.
    1. Press the start orb in the bottom left on the screen.
    2. Click on "Run"
    3. Type "services.msc" (without the quotes)
    4. Locate the Print Spooler service in the right column
    5. Click restart on the service link on the left
    After it restarts the spooler go ahead and retry printing. Let me know if this works.
    Thanks,
    Sean

  • HP Officejet 7500 E910 Network. When asked to print "Unable to Communicate with Printer"

    My printer has been functioning well for some time.  When my some installed a new wireless modum I would often receive the error message "Unable to Communicate with Printer" but it would blink a few times, then connect and print.  As of three days ago I receive that message when trying to print from both of my laptops.  I am wireless and have checked the wireless signal and it is strong,  The wirless connect symbol is lit on the printer.  I ran a wireless Network Test Report on the printer and the results indicated no problems.
    The printer woks if I use it manually to print or scan.  Neither printing nor scanning work when command is sent from my computer.  The Wireless Network Test Report printed fine.  Interesting though the Wireless Network test Report had the following date:  Jan-00-00 00:00AM.

    Hello @Dalead,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you're receiving a message stating "Unable to communicate" when printing a document using the Officejet 7500 E910. I will do my best to assist you! I would recommend following this entire HP document on Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
    Try assigning a static IP address and let me know if this resolves your issue or not. I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great night!

  • Unable to print or totally communicate with remote jetdirects

    We have dozens of jetdirects across our enterprise. recently I noticed I am unable to successfully communicate with some of the jetdirects across WAN links.
    Local subnet:
    I can ping them successfully.
    i can telnet and manage them
    I can web into them and make changes.
    Remote subnets:
    I can ping them successfully
    if I telnet to them, I can log in, but the text I send does not echo back and if I hit enter i get an error "illegal entry, please retry"
    if I web into them, the browser tab changes to "hewlett packard", and the the body is blank and the browser acts like it received everything successfully. Java doesnt load, no html body is displayed, etc.
    And yes, the gateway is set on the unit.
    Any ideas?

    One other thing to note... I cant pass print jobs from a print server on one side of the WAN across to the print server on the other side. The print server must be on the same LAN segment as the jetdirect.
    Example:
    I try to print directly from a PC in Indianapolis to a jetdirect in Dayton, OH, it fails.
    However I can configure a print queue on a server in dayton, print from a PC in Idianapolis to the print queue in Dayton and it will print.

  • Problems printing - Unable to communicate with Printer

    I just reinstalled my printer and it was working fine yesterday but now I can't print today as it's giving me the error message "Unable to communicate with printer".  We did also change wireless companies but we set up the printer to it as well as my laptop.  I printed out the Network Configuration Page to get the IP address but not sure how to change it.  I need direction on where to go and how to do it and hopefully that will work.  I saw in a post that I need to  change your computer(s) printer driver configuration to match the printer's IP address, but I have no clue how.  If that is correct please help and if not, please guide me on what to do.  Thank you!

  • WRT54G - Changed user name and password; now printer won't communicate with computer

    Time Warner used remote access to get into my wrt54g system and create a new user id/password for security.  As a result, my hp printer will no longer communicate with my computer.  HP says to hook up a usb from router to printer, but there's no usb port on the wrt model I own.  Don't know whether to buy a new router or if there is a solution to this problem.  I hooked up a usb from computer to printer but it did nada...

    so meaning to say you are unable to print even if the printer is connected to the computer. If that's the case even if your printer is connected wirelessly to the network then you will still not be able to print. Make sure that the printer will be able to print first when connected to your computer.

  • Airport does not communicate with my wireless printer

    Hello all,
    I can really use some help here.  We have a Canon wireless printer and an Airport Extreme.  The printer was working wirelessly until recently and I called Canon for tech support.  I was on the phone with Canon for an hour.  We have trouble-shot the printer every which way.  They are now telling me that the airport is not communicating with my wireless printer.  Is there someone that can help me check this?

  • Mac doesn't communicate with Epson CX7450 printer

    Couple days ago, while trying to fix a problem with my printer, I messed the settings for the printer. I don't know what I did, but there is no "Printer and Fax" icon in the System Preferences. When I press Print and get the printer setting I find the settings for CX7400 printer and not for CX7450. What should I do to correct this situation and get my computer talking with my printer.

    You could do an Archive and Install - the important part is reinstalling parts of the system. Here are links that explain the various installs:

  • How to print multiple ALV Grids with only one print dialog?

    Hi,
    I have a report that has multiple ALV grids in splitter containers. The users want to be able to print those ALVs by pushing only one print button. I got it to work (parameter IS_PRINT and method SET_FRONTEND_PRINT before calling SET_TABLE_FOR_FIRST_DISPLAY) but I can't find a way to avoid that the printer dialog pops up for every grid I print.
    I tried to use the function module approach with REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY but have the same issue. Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Guenther

    Hi Peluka,
    Well, that's exactly what I am doing. Putting one central button in the app is not the problem; the issue is that the print dialog (to select the printer) pops up for every  individual ALV grid. E.g. if I place 4 ALV grids on my screen and trigger their print from a central button, I am getting 4 print dialogs.
    Cheers,
    Guenther
