Communication error with bonjour (Epson C84) printer

I'm trying to print to a bonjour printer when a dialog box pops up saying "Communication error". Has anyone else experienced this or know of a fix?

Looks like your printer driver is trying to talk to the printer... which it can't becuase it's not connected to the computer.
A lot of printer drivers try to communicate with the printer to get back things like Ink Levels and stuff. This communication will not pass to the printer through bonjour if the driver was designed to communicate through USB.
C84 is a pretty common printer and the driver is already built into the mac os. If you uninstall the Epson driver that I'm assuming you installed and use the one that came with Tiger, this should take care of the problem.

Communication Error with Brother MFC-620CN Printer works but not scanner

Only printing works off the airport extreme but not scanning. Tried to mannually add the printer in the control center or device selector but printer cannot be found. Scanner worked prior to software upgrades. In addition, I get the communication error message "fails to connect to device" when I connect to the brother status monitor... All is OK when hooked up directly to Mac.
Anybody has a hint? Would be very helpful.
Thanks
Marti

Only printing works off the airport extreme but not scanning.That is exactly how it works. The AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) only supports printing NOT scanning or any other operations.

Communication error with Epson R2880 printer using Snow Leopard 10.6.4

I am having trouble printing with my Epson R2880 printer on my Mac Pro running OS X 10.6.4 with the most recent software updates. The printer prints about a quarter of the print and then quits giving a "Communication error" message. I have tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the printer and downloading the latest driver form Epson. My other printer, a cheap Canon printer, works fine on the computer with 10.6.4 and the R2880 printer works fine with my old G5 running 10.4.11. Any ideas?

Thanks John. I tried deleting the Epson printer folder from the library like you said and then checked for Software Updates. But Apple did not indicate that there were any for my OS (probably because I had installed the latest OS update this morning). So I installed the driver from the Epson site with the printer folder removed. But this did not work because when I tried to print the computer indicated that there were missing files. So, I reinstalled the Epson folder that I had just moved to trash, deleted the new Epson folder, then tried reinstalling the Epson driver with the original folder in place. THIS WORKED! Finally, I am off and printing but with little knowledge gained about the inner workings of my computer.

Communication error with Epson printer SX510W

I am getting a communication error when I try to print on my Epson SX510W wrieless printer. How do I correct this? My operating system is OS X Version 10.9.4.
I've tried re-installing the software from the CD-Rom but it won't let me use the Quick Start, It lets me download the print driver and scan driver from the list of software on the disc but that hasn't made any difference. I think it's a problem with the printer and the IP address, how do I correct this. How do I find the correct IP address on the printer?
Sometimes if I turn the printer off and on again, it allows me to print just one page and then stops again.

Communication error with Epson Stylus C63 with Airport Express

I have a brandnew iMac running 10.5.2. Set up my Airport Express and got the wifi to work in the house. Now I am dealing with remote printing. Printer is plugged into the port on the Airport Express, I see it in the Printer tab of Aiport Utility, I see it in the printer dialogue... but whenever I print I get "communication error with printer". I have unplugged the Airport Express, restarted computers, to no avail.
What am I missing?? Thanks in advance for any tips.
-Joanna

I solved this problem! After lots of searching I ended up at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5692363 Printer setup utility in Leopard which gave the tip to reset the printing system... I did, and then somehow the Epson printer showed up as a Bonjour printer (which I had tried to do in the Airport utility but it would not let me because the name was too short or something strange like that). PageSender Fax showed up also and I just printed a document remotely...
Hope this helps someone else.

I'm new to the Mac world. I installed my Epson printer on my IMAC and it worked fine. Then I installed Windows7 through Bootcamp and I think it reconfigured a port and now I get a communication error and it won't print. Any help on how do to fix this?

Sorry, I'm new to the Mac world. I recently got a new IMAC and installed my Epson CX5800F printer and it worked fine. Then a few weeks later I installed Windows7 through Bootcamp and I think it reconfigured a port or something and now I get a communication error and it won't print. Can anyone help me with this problem, and/or help me get the port back the way it was? Thanks, Barry

My mac air won't work with my epson PX730WD printer

I'm using a fairly new Mac Air 2 running OS X version 10.9.5, with an Epson PX730WD printer that has worked fine for the last 5 years with my previous Windows laptop. But since changing to Apple the printer seems to be forever disconnecting from my home BT wifi router. It wouldn't have occurred to me that the problem might be the Mac, except I saw many posts on this site with the same problem, but related to different Mac operating systems.
I have re-started the Mac, re-started the printer, to no avail.
Any help really appreciated, thanks

How do you know it really turn on?
Do you have a monitor/adopter so you can try the mini-display port/Thunderbolt port?
Maybe the power problem damaged the Mini itself or the HDMI port.

Communication error with the LOCAL_EXEC Function BAPI_PTMGREXTATTABS_CHECK

Hello,
We use timesheet (CATS) in a separate SAP system from the SAP system in which HR resides.
I found out how the loosely coupled scenario with CATS works with a SAP HR system. We transfer the workschedule and absence data with report RPTIMEOVERVIEW_REPLICATE to the SAP system in which CATS is used. This data is then available in the PTIMEOV1 table to perform time checks in CATS. The distribution model for ALE takes care of the fact that the data is posted into table PTIMEOV1. With BD97 I set up that the BAPI: PTMGREXTATTABS.CHECK has RFCdestination for synchronous calls = LOCAL_EXEC.
When I want to record on an attendance code without clock times then the above works fine. The SAP system in which CATS resides looks into table PTIMEOV1. So far so good.
However, when I want to record hours WITH clock times then I cannot save the data. The error message HRTIM00CATS667 shows up:
"Communication error with the LOCAL_EXEC Function BAPI_PTMGREXTATTABS_CHECK is no t available system"
Diagnosis
An error has occured during communication with the HR System. The HR data in the time sheet cannot be validated.
From the error message description it seems that it wants to check the SAP HR system instead of looking for the check in the SAP system in which CATS resides.....
When I change the value from LOCAL_EXEC to the system in which HR resides then the error disappears, but then it really checks into the SAP HR system (synchronous check with that SAP HR system) and that is not what the customer wants. The check should be local on the PTIMEOV1 table (in case the SAP HR system is down).
I did not find any OSS notes on the topic....or other info on SDN.
Can anyone help me out concerning this starnge error message, at least for me?
Thanks very much in advance,
Kind regards,
Mirko

CF11 is crashing ( application pool suffered a fatal communication error with the Windows Process Activation Service)

I have a cluster of 2 IIS web servers on Windows Server 2008 R2. They had been running on CF10 for over a year (if not two) with no problems. I upgraded one server to CF11 and now that server is crashing while the CF10 servers is still running fine.
In the Windows event log I'm seeing 4 instances of this error:
"A process serving application pool '******' suffered a fatal communication error with the Windows Process Activation Service. The process id was '4652'. The data field contains the error number."
Then finally:
"Application pool '******' is being automatically disabled due to a series of failures in the process(es) serving that application pool.".
Looking at the application pool in the IIS admin it is stopped. Restarting will resolve but it will eventually crash.
What could be the issue?
-Phil

I'm seeing in the CF logs leading up to the crash:

Getting Communication error with the external tax system(VERTEX_MS0018)

Hi All,
I am a new SAP HCM self learner. I am practicing it on company's sandbox system. When I am trying to create a company and saving the address, it is returning Communication error with the external tax system(VERTEX_MS0018). I have already tried to solve is issue by going thru previous related to same issue like
Communication error with the external tax system (VERTEX_MS0018) ...Urgent
but coudn't solve the issue.
Please help. Is this issue coming as I am using a training environment? any alternate approach?

Hi Ravi,
To disable the connection to Vertex:
Goto tcode SPRO > Cross Application Components > Transaction Tax Engine >
Technical Settings> Define External Tax System
Here an RFC would be defined. Remove it and try again.
Also in SPRO > Cross Application Components > Tax Determination based on Jurisdiction Codes > External Tax Jurisdiction > Activate External Tax Jurisdiction.
Remove the entry 'V' here.

Srikishan

Communication error with the external tax system(vertex_ms0018)

Hi All
I have installed ECC6 IDES S/W on my PC. I have activated SAP Insurance module (FS-CD). When I try to create business partner using FPP1 with US address, It is throwing error as follows:
"communication error with the external tax system(vertex_ms0018)"
I dont want to use any external Tax system like Vertex etc. because I am not calculating any taxes.
I gave correct US address with valid ZIP etc. but no use.
Please help me if any one of you has idea. How to overcome this error. How to deactivate connection to external tax system.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Giri

Hi Giri,
I've notice that you took the 'V' from the configuration but you left the RFC destination.
Clearly the RFC destination is not working thus the reason you get the error (in your case, your server can't determine a valid IP address for the host iwdf8334.wdf.sap.corp).
To sort out the problem you got I can think of at least two ways:
1. Get the RFC connection working (get the correct setup for it) using transaction SM59
2. Or if you don't really need the external tax calculations, remove the RFC configuration from TAXUJ under Assign RFC Destination to Country on the Cross-Application SPRO entry.
3. You can always add TAXUS to transaction OBBG if you require it (as it comes out of the box).
This should fix the problem you are having but I'm assuming you don't need the external tax calculations.
If you do, just fix the connection using SM59 (you may want to ask for help from your Basis team if you don't know how to do it).
Cheers
