Communication error with printer hooked to time capsule

I have a Macbook using 10.5.8 and a 500 gig Time Capsule with an Epson cx 3200 printer plugged into it and when I try to print, I get a 'Communication Error". What am I doing wrong?

Welcome to the discussion area!
If your Epson is compatible (not all devices will work at the USB port of the Time Capsule), the Apple Printer Troubleshooting Guide will provide some assistance.
Keep in mind that only the printing function is supported if your device is compatible. Fax, Scan, Copy, Maintenance, etc., are not supported, so you will need to connect the device directly to your computer if you need these functions.

  • 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.

    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 keep getting this error when trying to backup time capsule with time machine. The backup disk image "/Volumes/Data-1/Dan's iMac.sparsebundle" is already in use.

    I keep getting this error when trying to backup time capsule with time machine. The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data-1/Dan’s iMac.sparsebundle” is already in use.

    Make sure that no other Macs are backing up at the time.
    Pull the power cable from the back of the Time Capsule
    Count to ten
    Plug the power cable back into the back of the Tme Capsule
    Wait a few minutes, then try a backup again.

  • 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

  • Changed AppleID p-word and now can't login to icloud on mac mini. I use correct password and I get spinning grey wheel. I know it's the correct password cause any other p-word gets error message. Also, my time capsule is blinking amber.

  • "An Communication Error ocurred. printing will be stopped."

    I am facing this error message while printing crystal reports from my application. My system resources details are:
    IIS 7.0
    Crytsal reports 2008
    Microsoft server 2008 R2
    I have read all the possible solutions provided in this forum but unfortunately it did not resolve my problem. i have change IIS pool to classic from integrated. i have also disable some mimetypes in compression settings.
    Please note that this problem ocurred when there are so many pages (for example 1000). As far as my findings are that for some how Request objects and session objects get vanish and we can not move to next page after this error. Report source also get vanished after this error.
    Kindly help me on this.
    Thanks.

    Thanks Don for your response.
    I am already sending the print to windows XPS printer, and secondaly session timout is also definded to its maximum limit (i.e 20 mins).
    Our application consist of classic ASP and ASP.net pages. we have written a utility to transfer session of classic ASP tp ASP.net.
    One more thing which i experienced today is that when For testing purpose i put two different sessions in certain variables, one is classic ASP session (transferred to asp.net) and the second one is the session which was created in .net page. during printing error i saw windows event log and Error came at .net session. i moved those values to classic asp page. now error is not logging in event log and there is slight change in priting error. error message is now: "An Communication Error ocurred. printing will be stopped.do you want to view?" when i click yes it shows me empty page with no data.
    waiting for your response.
    Regards,
    Matt

  • Printer seen from Time Capsule - print not adding to queue.

    Been a while since I've been here... things have been doing well until now.
    At our store in Minnesota, we've got 13 Macintoshes on display as well as a Time Capsule. All of them have been able to network to each other, as well as see our Epson CX7400 on the network. Every Mac has the appropriate driver installed, with the printer added successfully to each system.
    However, when any given Mac attempts to print to the Time Capsule's Epson CX7400, which is networked via the Bonjour protocol, the print queue remains empty (as if nothing was ever sent to it), and the printer does not respond.
    All I get is a quick blip on the screen showing that the document is being prepared for printing, sends it to the queue where it mysteriously disappears.
    Not sure what is going on here. I've looked at as many things as I could. Might be something simple that I'm missing, I don't know.
    I've reset the printing system, reinstalled drivers, checked the Bonjour and network settings on both the Time Capsule and each Macintosh to no avail.
    Any ideas?

    Same exact problem here! Same printer... Time Capsule... Everything. And it just started happening about the same day as the first post. Someone help!

  • Communication Error with PIC µC through RS232.

    Hello Friends.
    I am getting continuous communication error with PIC µC reading through RS 232. Our µC programmed by external company and according to Communication protocol. µC sends 11 data packets in 43 ms and then delay on 50 sec. Actually Original labview code is developed in LabView 7.0 and now I am trying to update new installer to LabVIEW 9.0. I am attaching my LabView communication VI and capture data. If you see in the ComSerial.Vi, you can find when 8000! case is detected only that time 3 value sent to µc. In µc there is a Protocol, that when it receive 3 wrong packet (or damage packet) out of 10 then it send Error code 07 means communication error. Can you please take a look in to this ComSerial.vi and suggest me some Solution. I already spend more then 10 days to just figure it out.

    I would suggest to start with the examples for the serial communication with LabVIEW and then built on them further. This way you will be sure about your code and then also for your communication and afterwards you can implement the further logic. Try those vis and see if your recieving the right data or not if not may be there is problem on hardware side!!

  • Playback and Render Errors - communication error with child process failed

    Tried a reinstall, does not fix the issue, will get the gray screen with text:  communication error with child process failed
    This happens during playback (About 30% of the frames or so) as well as when rendering an output.
    On PC.

    So I updated my nvidea drivers to the latest and greatest (GeForce 327.23). I also reinstalled SpeedGrade CC (which is quite the pain, btw! why can't we keep a local .exe file? Have to download every time you want to resintall ... even if only ten minutes apart!)
    Still the issue seems to persist.

  • Can you add new AirPort Express Base Station Simultaneous dual-band 802.11n with a 1st Gen time capsule network

    Hi
    Has anyone tried using the AirPort Express Base Station with a first generation Time Capsule and used it to extend their network, while still being able to use the Simultaneous dual-band 802.11n on their network?
    Thanks in advance

    The first generation Time Capsule was not a simultaneous dual band device.
    If you add the "new" AirPort Express to the network and configure it to "Extend a wireless network", it will extend the one single band signal that it is receiving from the Time Capsule.
    In other words, the AirPort Express will not extend simultaneous dual bands in this type of setup...since it can only "extend" what it receives. You would need a simultaneous dual band Time Capsule if you want that type of functionality.

  • HP Laserjet 1020 Print Wirelessly Via Time Capsule?

    Is it possible to set up an HP Laserjet 1020 to print wirelessly via time capsule? I already know I have to use the 1022 driver, and my printer works perfectly when the usb is plugged into my Macbook air. I plugged it into the new time capsule I just bought and added it on my Macbook as a network printer, but it wont print. Any tips or suggestions would be extremely helpful! Thanks in advance!
