Computer cannot connect with printer cant open spool message

iMac is unable to connect with printer (HP PhotosmartC7200 series) Error message says can't open spool. Reinstalled the software' this corrected the problem for 1 printing job then back to same error message. Is ther a solution ?

Good. So the problem does not involve printer's drivers.
Have you followed the troubleshooting guide printing over a network.

Is the Wi-Fi on the printer enabled?

Computer Cannot Communicate with Printer... but sometimes it can?

My computer does not seem to be communicating properly with my printer. It worked fine for a long time, and nothing has changed with the set-up recently. Computer and printer are connected via wireless internet. Sometimes restarting the computer or turning the printer off and back on will do the trick, but sometimes not, and I certainly can't count on doing that every time I need to print. Sometimes I get the error message and cancel the print, other times it won't seem to print, but will print hours later. Please help with this issue! Thanks!

Thank you for taking the time to respond - I appreciate it! I will try these recommendations and see if that solves the issue.

Need Help -- Computer Cannot Connect to Printer; Printer thinks its connected.

Up until a week ago my printer and computer were communicating great. I'd hit print, and the printer would print my document. But then.... things stopped working. I have an HP Laser Jet 200 color MFP and am using a Mac running OS10.
Now when I try to print something, my computer is not able to locate the printer. So... my print job just sits there waiting for my computer to connect to the printer (which of course it never does). The only solution I have found is to send a print job, and then turn off the printer and restart it -- not a great solution I know, but its the only thing that seems to work.
Any suggestions?

Please provide the following relevant information so someone can help including:
Printer Model -
Detailed Problem Description -
Operating System of computer (including service pack revision) -
Connection Method - USB, Hardwired LAN, Wireless? -
Make and model of router and modem? -
Error messages - on printer screen and/or computer, any blinking light patterns.
If wireless, status of Blue Wireless light on printer, on, off or blinking? -

Installed snow leopard on 2006 computer, now cannot connect with printer

There is an error message that is not listed in the manual when trying to print now. Any suggestions? Should I unistall the driver and reinstall it? If so how? Thank you!

Well, you're not listing any information on your printer and no specific iMac model, so helping is a bit of a guess at this point:
First, go to Print Pane in System Preferences and uninstall (delete or the minus sign) the printer if shown. Then click the + to add it. Make sure the printer is connected and on at that point. If that does not work, go to the printer mfr's website and check their support for new drivers, how to uninstall old and how to install new ones.
This happens quite frequently - you have to update your softwares and drivers when you install an OS update.

Why I cannot connect with Flickr on internet for sharing, message says I may have a firewall.?

I cannot connect with Flickr for photo sharing, message says I may have a firewall blocking connection to internet, I have disables firewalls but still cannot connect.

midghome12,
Are you using Adobe Photoshop Elements?
If so, just let us know, and someone can Move your post to that very active and helpful forum.
As Chris points out, Adobe Photoshop does not have direct Internet uploading, so I suspect that you have PsElements.
Just let us know the exact program, that you have.
Good luck,

The restor pocess did not succeed because your computer cannot connect to the server - Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials Experience

Hi all
I've been running Windows Server 2012 R2 with the Essentials Experience in test for a Windows 8.1 client environment, on an HP ProLiant MicroServer N54L. Overall I've found the Essential Experience set-up over WHS2011 and WHSv1 okay; still looking to extract
any real value over the former versions.
This box has been up and running for a few months now, with client backups of a Win 8.1 box scheduled and running successfully every day. However when trying to conduct any file restores from the backups, to the client, I receive an error dialog once I go
through motions from the Dashboard:
On the 'Devices' tab, right-click the appropriate client and select 'Restore files or folders for the computer'
'Restore Files of Folders' dialog pops up, asking me to 'Choose a backup' from the list of all the backups that have run
Select any one in the list - have tried numerous backups; automatic, manual, etc. same result every time
Brings up the dialog to 'Choose a volume', choose either C: or D: partitions of the same fixed drive - again, no difference which one I choose, the outcome is the same
'Opening the volume' dialog starts, with progress bar, runs to about 4% complete the pops up the dialog 'The restore process did not succeed'. Full error in the dialog, "The restore process did not succeed because your computer cannot connect to the
server. Make sure that the computer is connected to the networkm and then try again
If my computer cannot connect to the server - how can I get that far? How can I open the dashboard, select a client, select from a list of backups, select a volume to restore, etc. What is going on here?

Hi,
Please check if a "host" entry for the server is added to the client. For more detailed information, please refer to the threads below:

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We're users here and do not speak for "Apple Inc."
Some basic printer troubleshooting steps before worrying about a printer driver:
1. Have you tried turning the printer off and back on?
2A. Is the printer attached with a cable?
     If yes, have you tried unplugging and re-plugging both ends of the printer cable?
     If that does not help, can you test the printer with another cable?
2B. If your printer is not connected to the computer with a cable, have you tried restarting your printer (assuming wireless connection)?
     Have you tried restarting your wireless router?
3. Have you tried restarting your MacBook? (Be sure to save your work first.)
4. Does the printer have ink? (Doesn't usually generate a 'communications error' though)
5. Have you updated OS X or the program you're trying to print from recently?

DexterM - Printer connected wireless but Notebook cannot connect to printer?

Hi all,
I will be a brief and clear as possible. I really hope someone can help! thanks in advance.
DexterM, if your still arond I think maybe you would be familiar with this type of thing. I will be as concise as possible.
I incorrectly removed some HP folders in an effort to remove the bloatware. (shop and participation program etc).
Anyway, I damaged my install because Solution Center disappeared! I needed it to scan multiple page PDF docs.
I tried to uninstall and re-install the Full Software package (my printer is B110a) 10s of times. Each time the Installer showed that 'Solution center' is already installed. It was not installed.
Eventually after days of trying to fix this, I took the drastic measure of remving some HP keys from the registry. Not randomly of course, but from a solution post on this board. I only removed about 4 HP keys. I was very careful not to remove any Windows ones. (I se Win7).
So.. Solution center then installed. Hooray! Everything seemed perfect. EXCEPT....
I had removed 2 keys related to the Network. Something like NET HPz12 and something similar.
Now when I tried to connect my printer wirelessly (using the USB to wireless process) it cold not find any wifi networks even though there were several in the vicinity.
I found a solution on this forum which involved right clicking on the network.msi file and choosing uninstall, then re-installing it. This did the trick! now when I ran the "USB to Wireless" process it instantly found my wireless "your PC is connected to SSID blah blah blah, is this correct". Yes. It continued the network diagnostic but always failed at this point.
I think because some service or reg key is missing the computer cannot commnicate directly with the printer, but it can see it at http://192.18.1.2 etc via browser. so all is connected properly, but something is preventing the laptop from commnicating with the printer.
So to recap.
Laptop works perfectly with printer via USB.
Printer is connected to my wireless without isse. I can see it at http://192.168.1.2 etc
Laptop cannot connect to printer though, and fails everytime I run the 'usb to wireless' process.
I suspect one of the NET keys I deleted frmo the reg is to blame? Or some missing windows service?
The network diagnostic utility says "network software missing, please reinstall or fix and try again". I have uninstalled and reinstalled 10s of times now. It's not putting back no the required network service/key thats missing.
Argh. please can anyone help. Someone must have been here before? I have a screen shot too of the 'USB to wireless' process failing. It shows the connection is there, but something is not right.
image 0 - the 'usb to wireless process' picks up my wireless without any problem. ok
image 1 - during the 'running diagnostic on network' part of the process it fails
image 2 - not much to go on here. I reinstalled and uninstalled 4 or 5 times already. same thing.

Nobody? Im really stuck here... Been onto support 3 times and they cannot help. I need someone with expert skills who will understand which windows service or driver or key is preventing the notebook from talking to the printer even though both are on the same network successfully. No AV or FW on the network either.

My 4th gen. shuffle keeps on sending me an error message that it cannot connect with iTunes because it's not formatted properly.

Hi,
About two days ago my shuffle started to send me an error message that it cannot connect with iTunes because it's not formated properly.
So I've already updated the softwer, I tried to use it with every single USB port on my computer and searched for solutions on the net but couldn't find any useful information...
I literally see the following message: The iPod "194" cannot be used with iTunes because it is not formatted properly.
Any ideas?....
Thank you!

I can see my printer and iPad on router but iPad cannot connect to printer. Printer is on list of air printer models accepted. Help!

You may have to visit the printer manufacturer's web site and look into their support pages to get a print driver for your Mac, and install it. Or see if you can see if a driver may already be in your Mac by checking settings, since there are many drivers already installed in Mac OS X.
Good luck & happy computing!

2008 R2 printer server, cannot connect to printer, access denied, Windows 7 OS only

Deployed new Windows 2008 R2 domain controller, added print and document controll. Added several network printers on R2 server. We currently have mostly Vista biz clients but half a dozen W7Pro clients also. The Vista clients connect to these new network
printers, no problem but none of the W7 clients will connect. I select the printer from the drop down directory list and select to load the drivers, the system starts loading drivers and then right before it finishes it stops with error message, "Windows cannot
connect to the printer. Access denied. Again, this happens only with the W7 clients on our domain, Vista works fine.

By default, the security settings for Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 allow users who are not members of the local
Administrators group to install only trustworthy printer drivers, such as those provided with Windows or in digitally signed printer-driver packages. You may want to install printer-driver packages on the print server
or in the clients. More details can be found this page: Cannot
connect to printer, Access denied -

PSE 12 - Cannot connect with Adobe

I cannot connect with Adobe through PSE12. The first time the message told me Help did not install and to uninstall and reinstall, which I did today. I still cannot connect; yet, I was able to register the serial numbers for both elements and premiere.
In trying resolve the problem, I got another message that indicates there is no internet connection. I have analyzed the install log and nothing there indicates an error in installation.
I still have PSE 10 on my computer and can connect direct when in 10.

0. Patch installed
1. I have/had internet connection
2. I can call https pages
3. drivers/etc/Hosts was/are clean.
4. Current User > Trusted Root Certificate Authorities > Certificates is installed/enabled and the correct fields are checked
5. Firewall was/is turned complety off.
I cannot uninstall AAM. Because i can't find it in "Deinstallation Tool" of Win8. It is not listes. There is only Adobe Flash Player listed.
I removed AAM via adobe cleaner tool. And installed it again. And this helped not too.
Any ideas how i can solve the problem?

Windows cannot connect to printer. 0x00...2

I work in a Domain environment where we have hundreds of printers on about a Dozen Print Servers. Some are 2003 and others are 2008. The Server I'm working with is 2003. The client work stations are Windows 7. We have several printers not mapping to the
designated clients. All installation of printers are controlled via scripts through GPO and based on what security group they belong in.
As far as I can see the computers are in the proper AD security group. But as students and staff log into the desktops, none of the printers show up. And when I try to manually connect the printer by going to the UNC path \\XXX-XX\printer_name it gives me
the "Windows cannot connect to printer"..... with a code of 0x00...2 (there are a bunch of zeros in there).
Now we have other printers that are mapped and are available to everyone. Its just those that are connected via a security group. So if a machine is in Room 123 and in the 123 group, they should get a color printer and a B&W printer for that room.
For some reason the color printer is not showing up, but the B&W is. Outside that group, other teachers can connect via their laptop, or other desktop. But All the computers that the students use, cannot map the printer.
I've tried the registry fix to clear drivers, I've renamed the "3" folder and that didn't work. I've tried applying Hotfixes but the ones I was given stated that they were designed for my version of windows. Even though the fix was for Windows
7.
I'm getting frustrated. Simple Printer 101 tricks aren't working. I think this is a level up higher and could be script or Domain related. Any thoughts?
Thanks,

If the printer driver uses color profiles, make sure the color profile files are installed on the machine. Including the print driver name and where you got the driver might be useful.
