Computer is not communicating with the printer

We recently bought our first wireless printer about 2 months ago, HP Envy 7640 e all in one printer. It was connected and working fine. We have since moved and the computer is recognizing the printer, but it is not communicating. I have tried everything. Any suggestions??

Hey @JessandMarie,
Welcome to the HP Support Forum.
I understand you're encountering a connectivity issue with your HP ENVY 7640 e-All-in-One Printer. I would like to assist you with this.
Since you have moved, it is more than likely that you're now connected to a different wireless network. Or at the very least, if you're using the same hardware, your IP address will be different from whatever it was when you first installed your printer on your computer. To put it another way, the printer software on your computer is looking to connect with your printer at an IP address that is most likely not active, hence the communication issue.
What operating system are you working with? I have common steps for both Windows and Mac users that may help. However, if my recommended troubleshooting flow falls short of a resolution, please respond to this post with your operating system version.
Firstly, from your printer's front panel, touch the icon. If it's indicating wireless connectivity and is displaying an IP address you are connected. If you're not connected, run the Wireless Setup Wizard, select your network name (SSID) and input your wireless password. If you do not know your network name and password, click here for instructions on how to locate it using both Windows and Mac setups.
Once you have established wireless connectivity, uninstall your printer driver (if you're not sure how click here), and then click here to reinstall (you will need to select the version that's corresponding to your operating system).
Let me know how this works out for you. If you need any further assistance I'm always happy to help.
Have a great weekend!

I have just been having problems with my Canon MP250 printer and decided to uninstall and re-install the printer and everytime I try to re-install the printer trough preferences and all I keep getting was a message saying "preparing to queue"......

I have just been having problems with my Canon MP250 printer and decided to uninstall and re-install the printer and everytime I try to re-install the printer trough preferences and all I keep getting was a message saying "preparing to queue"...... I then decided to try and reload the Canon printer drivers and for some silly reason I deleted the existing Canon printer drive. Now I cannot load them from the CD provided with the printer or from downloads through the Apple store. If anyone out there could help me I would be greatly appreciated......

These Canon printer/scanner drivers from Apple - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL899 - should work. The MP250 is listed on the support page. Try downloading and installing them.
Good luck,

I inserted my new 8gb 4x4 RAM but when i boot up the computer and choose this computer it only says that i have 4gb ram inserted and the computer isn't faster then with 2gb!? please help me! I have a MBP from 2009

I ordered my RAM 8GB from OWC (other world computing) and when i inserted the ram and booted up my computer it says that i only have inserted 4gb ram and the computer isn't faster than it was with 2gb!!! please help me... I've got a MacBook Pro (mid 2009)

Improperly seating memory is the curse of everyone, even experts. No one wants to "break" the memory or the slot by pushing too hard.
So, try again. Push maybe *just a twinge* harder to seat the memory (just a twinge).
As to speed ... memory mainly lets you keep more things active concurrently. Unless you were severely overtaxing your old memory and causing huge "Page Out" counts, only faster HD makes huge speed increases.

Hp 1210 all-in-one not communicating with word through my mac

my hp 1210 works fine except when i attempt to print a recently modified word document I get an error message that says "word could not communicate with the printer"
I aborted a print job yesterday and the "job hold" in the print queu has a red stop sign symbol...when i click on the jobs it say there are no pending jobs.
I am at a loss for what to do. I tried rebooting and reconnecting the printer and the mac, no change.

Hello JPV626,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you are having issues printing with the PSC 1210 on your Mac, seems to be a queue issue on the Mac.
What is the Operating System installed on the Mac?
Try resetting the Print System on the Mac (Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system), Repair disk permissions, install any and all updates on the Mac and restart. Once restarted, add the printer back in System Preferences and try printing.
I will look back for your reply.

Why do I lose network connection with my standalone networked printer and have to reinstall it

I have a Laser Jet MFP M1530 printer that loses connection with the network. All the computers on the network have to delete the old configuration of the printer and reinstall it prior to it working. The printer is in a standalone configuration. Everything else on the network continues to work.

The Laser Jet MFP M1530 is a commercial product. I suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support for a better chance at finding a solution.
You may find the Laserjet board here.

Windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer

Hello,
I realize there are other threads with this error, but I've tried all the solutions suggested, and have a few additional notes that seem to be unique to my situation.
I have a Toshiba Satellite L675 laptop and am running Windows 7 64bit.
I restored to factory settings 3-4 months ago (was getting a blue error screen about twice a day). It ran fine for a month or two, but then started freezing up if I left it idle for prolonged periods of time (10-30min). It seemed okay as long as it was in use and it wasn't a blue error screen, it just froze on whatever was showing on-screen.
It recently started freezing completely (no ctrl-alt-delete or anything) within about 5 mins of turning it on even when in use.
I tried to restore to factory settings again, but partway through I got the error mentioned in the subject title, and a
Status: 0xc00000e9
Info: An unexpected I/O error has occurred
There are no removable devices connected, no discs in the DVD drive, etc. etc. I'm very handy, but not necessarily a cpu whiz. Is there any way to determine if this is a HD issue? Ram? I assume if I can narrow it down it's worth replacing a part, but I'm not sure that I want to pour money into a laptop that has little value if I'm guessing at solutions.
Also, I upgraded to 8GB RAM about 2 years ago, but it ran fine until a few months ago so I'm not sure if that could be related or not.
My wife has an identical laptop. Would it harm anything to swap her HD (or RAM, or whatever you may suggest could be the problem) into my laptop to see if it works?
Thanks.

There are many models of L675. Do you both have the exact same model number? If so, there shouldn't be a problem doing that. It'd be a good way of seeing if the issue is the hard drive or not.

Communicating with a GPIB connected instrument through network

HI Folks,
In our lab, we have different instruments connect to
different computers. And it is extreme inconvenient to switch computers in
order to use different instruments since not every instrument is connected to
the same computer. And I would like to design a labview program that can communicate
with any instrument via network so users can have control to all the
instruments on the same computer in the lab so they don’t have to switch computers every time they
want to use a different instrument. How do I do that?

You could use Remote NI-VISA. The machine to which the instruments are connected would be running the Remote NI-VISA Server. Check the NI-VISA documentation, as this is described in there.

6025E DAQ card is not communicating with driver I have written

I recently wrote a driver that used the 6025E DAQ card. I then packaged up this product, and am in the process of creating a second identical product. The problem is that the software I wrote does not work with the new hardware card. Nothing has changed, except for the new card. Basically, the first product works great, the second one does not... They both seem to be using the same version of NI-DAQ (6.9.1), and I can't think of anything else that would cause these problems...
Could it be the computer speed? The actual system is a 866 MHz, but the test system (until the new computer arrives) is only 250 MHz...
In addition, the NI-DAQ test software works fine, i.e. I can send Digital inputs and th
e NI-DAQ test software will process the signals, but my software will not.

First, I want to make sure I understand your terminology. You have written a driver for your 6025E? We consider NI-DAQ(6.9.1) the driver for the DAQ boards. If you are making NI-DAQ function calls, then I'd say you are using the driver. (You're not making register-level programming calls are you?)
It's hard to say what the problem is right away, but I guess I do have some suggestions. In case you were wondering, computer speed usually isn't a problem when using standard DIO.
What does your program do? Find a similar example program in your ...\NI-DAQ\Examples folder and see if it works.
What is the other board you are trying to use? Is it also a 6025E?
Also, you said the program is not working, but what is the result? Are you getting any kind of e
rror message?

Communicating with PC Based CArd on Register Level

I have an unsupported, simple, ISA Bus based PC card. I wish to communicate to this device within Labview, on a register basis (analogous to DOS inport(), outport() statements) without developing a driver. Does anyone have an idea of how this might be done? Thanks

And the NI site has a library called accesshw.llb which can be used to do
the same things under NT-type os's (don't know about labVIEW under Win XP
though).
all the best

Temperature controller gives wrong powerup configuration after communicating with RS-232

Hello,
I was working with a Lakeshore 330 Programmable temperature controller using the LabVIEW drivers downloaded from NI driver site. My aim was to implement a continous RS232 data acquisition. I initially thought of using the similar code to the one used in another transducer (a pressure transducer which acquires data from RS232 continously). Unfortunately, I kept this vi in the same vi as the I am developing. While executing the vi, I got error from the pressure transducer, possible because both transducers are trying to communicate using same serial port. After that, my Lakeshore 330 temperature controller always power up in wrong configuration. I cannot switch input channels. Also, in the temperature it measures, the two digits after the decimal is missing. For instance, instead of 21.43 it is just showing 21.
Anyone know what went wrong here? I restarted the Lakeshore several times, still no change. Is it possible the wrong write command to the lakeshore somehow messed the setting? Is it possible to get back to the original factory setting. I am getting desperate.
I deeply appreciate any help and suggestions.
Thank you in advance
Zch
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It really doesn't sound like a LabVIEW problem but a user error.
All I can suggest is that you read the manual for the Lakeshore controller. They are either going to have some steps that you can use to reconfigure it using front panel controls, or perhaps their own software to help configure it. Also look at whatever protocol they are using for serial communication. Comparing that to whatever you were trying to do with the pressure device might tell you how you might have accidentally changed the Lakeshore controllers configuration when you got their code and serial ports all mixed up.

GPIB not communicating with my magtrol instruments

Hello,
I've installed my PCI-GPIB on a system running windows xp, it was on a system running windows 98 and worked correctly. I am using the card to capture data from a Magtrol Dynomometer Controller. I've run the software and driver updates from NI website. Also, when I am in the MAX software and communicate with my instrument manually I can read correctly from the instrument. What is happening is that when I try to write and read from the magtrol controller the data stream is not ending(getting the cr-lf?). In the magtrol installation instructions it says:" GETTINGSTARTED
1. From the Windows taskbar, click Start, then point to Settings and click Control Panel.
2. Double-click System. This will bring up the System
Properties dialog box.
3. Click the Device Manager tab.
4. Using the right mouse button, click (right-click) National Instruments GPIB Interfaces.
5. Click Properties.
6. Click the Device Templates tab. See Figure 2�4 System Properties & GPIB Interfaces
Properties.
7. Scroll down Device Name list until DEV9 is reached.
8. Click DEV9.
9. Set DEV attributes to the following:
a. Under Termination Methods, select the Terminate Read on EOS check box.
b. Change EOS Byte to �10�.
c. Select the Readdress check box."
The problem is when I right-click on National Instruments GPIB interfaces I get a dialog box with a tab that says "General" and an empty page. I think my devices are probably not setup correctly because I haven't followed the magtrol instructions (this worked on the windows 98 setup). I am not sure how to fix this, Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Jennifer

Jennifer,
Thanks for your question regarding configuring the GPIB termination settings. Depending upon which version of the NI 488.2 driver that you have installed, the method for changing these settings may be different. However, after installing the NI 488.2 driver you should be able to change the termination settings of your NI GPIB device in the Measurement and Automation Exploer. This utillity should be loacted in Programs>>National Instruments folder from the start button. After expanding the devices and interfaces folder in MAX you can right-click on the PCI-GPIB and a configuration window will appear where you can change the settings that you are refering to. A screenshot of this window is attached below.

5520 connected to network but not communicating with devices

I have a 5520 which worked fine for six months. Suddenly it's not working any more. I connect it wirelessly to our home network, it passes all the stages and prints off a test oage showing everything is fine. But when I try to print a page wirelessly from my Mac Mini the print manager just tells me that the printer is 'unconnected'.
Other devices (eg smartphones) can't find the printer at all, whether they are connected to the home network or using 4G, and I have downloaded HP's app just in case that helped.
I have tried returning the printer to factory settings but it doesn't make a difference.
Yesterday I noticed that the printer was showing up as a wi-fi network in its own right so I was able to connect to it from theMac Mini (but not from other devices) and print that way, although that was not great because I had to disconnect from the internet to do it. Today it's not showing in the wi-fi network list any more. Any thoughts woiuld be hugely appreciated!

Hi @cadleigh,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I noticed that your HP Photosmart 5520, is not communicating on the wireless network to your other devices. I am happy to help you with this connection issue!
For further assistance, I will need to know the following:
The version of the Mac Operating System. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos.
If the printer is able to make copies. Copy Text or Mixed Documents.
In the meantime, please take a look through this printer is offline guide. 'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the Printer Does Not Print: Mac OS X.
Hope this helps, and hope to hear from you soon!

Arghhhh - How can communicating with Blackberry be this hard!!!!

All I wanted to do was send an eamil to say...
Why waste so much packaging? I just bought a International Charger and opened the black box to discover inside a white box that was exactly 50% of the size of the black box it had been put into. What a waste of packaging. Have you heard of this thing called the Green movement?????
Oh, I then wanted to send a simple email, (you know the things that you make easy when mobile), but cannot find an email address anywhere on your website, so had to REGISTER and sign a Terms and Conditions agreement, just to tell you that your wasting packaging. C'mon, do you really want Customer feedback. If so make it a little easier please.

Hello and Welcome to the Forums!
Well, I understand your frustration, but, when you registered for these forums, you agreed to certain conditions and were presented with the purpose of these forums. Specifically, these forums are a user-to-user support channel, not a user-to-RIM conduit. As such, it is unlikely that RIM will see what you have written. However, if you have specific and constructive ideas for them, I have heard that they accept such via email to [email protected]
There are other method of contacting them...their "Contact Us" page (http://na.blackberry.com/eng/contact/) has some options...albeit none of them seem to be email-based, but that's their choice to make I suppose.
Anyway, posting here is nice -- but if you want your message to be seen by someone at RIM, these forums aren't I think the best way to do that.
Good luck!
