Constant printer connect and disconnect

My computer is initially okay unitl I turn on the printer (Photosmart C7280).  In recent times, however (this was not always the case), when turning on the printer the computer starts revving up and down at short intervals, and in checking the installed printers the printer constantly loses and regains its connection with the computer for short periods.
Oddly, even after turning the printer power back off this revving up and down and connecting/disconnecting between the printer and computer continues for perhaps ten to fifteen minutes or so before it settles back down to normal.  I cannot find anything specific about this in direct HP troubleshooting documents.
I am running XP Home Edition and the unit is connected through a wired ethernet home network.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you very much in advance.  I appreciate it.

Is there a way to disconnect and reconnect my shuffle
via the keyboard without removing it from the usb
port? This would be useful to see order of
podcasts.
Use your mouse and EJECT it.

  • Windows won't install USB device...infinite loop of connect and disconnect

    I've been very happy with my Ipod purchases over the years but this one is the worst problem I have ever had. Purchased an 8gb Ipod Nano 3rd gen for the wife as a Xmas present and went to install it on my PC today but no luck whatsoever. The PNP manager seems to go into an infinite loop of connect and disconnect with the odd "Itunes has found a corrupt player ...." message but the device won't stay on the PC long enough as it promptly disconnects from the PC again!
    My other 3 Ipods all connect and work quite happily on this PC, I've tried a few of the other "solutions" that seem to fix other "problems" but as the device does not stay connected for long enough I can't do anything with it!
    Has anyone else had this problem and been able to fix it? If so, what did you do to correct the problem?
    thanks
    Marty

    Thanks, tried that and much more - a very frustrating process.
    I've just posted this on another thread...
    I've tried unplugging everything and it still didn't work (I only have a USB printer, USB 1.1 hub and a USB phone connected). Funnily enough though connecting it to the USB 1.1 hub it works OK - go figure. Connecting directly to a USB 2 connector either on the front or rear panel and my PC goes into the connect/disconnect loop! My 1st and 2nd gen Ipod nano's and my Shuffle all happily connect to the USB 2 connectors on the front panel but the 3rd gen one does not want to know.
    I think that Apple have got something seriously wrong here and it would be nice if it was acknowledged and a proper fix applied.

    It is very difficult to offer troubleshooting suggestions when the "os version" you are using is unknown as each os has their own troubleshooting solutions. 
    Please complete or update your system profile so the users here can properly help you.  We don't even know which model iPod Nano you have!!!

  • I have a new Epson wireless printer connected and the iPad recognizes it but it won't print. What is AirPrint and how do I connect it?

    I have a new Epson wireless printer connected and the iPad recognizes it but it still won't print.  What is AirPrint & how do I connect to it?

    Patti-
    Is your Epson printer on Apple's list of AirPrint capable printers?  See <http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356>.
    If it is an AirPrint printer, then your WiFi router may not correctly handle Bonjour data required by AirPrint.  Contact the router's manufacturer to see if there is a change to its setup or a firmware update, that will make it work.
    One other possibility is that there could be a print job stuck in the iPad's print queue.  Double click the iPad's Home button and a row of recent Apps will appear along the bottom of the screen.  Scroll across and see if the Print Center is there.

  • Problems when connecting and disconnecting MBP and TBD

    Hello,
    I have problems with connecting and disconnecting my macbook pro retina 13" to my thunderbolt display. Everytime I disconnect my MBP form my TBD with the lid closed it takes approximately 10 seconds until my MBP has recognized that the TBD is no longer connected and the MBP screens turns on.
    On the other hand I also have a problem when I reconnect my MBP to my TBD. Approximately every second time my MBP does not recognize that the TBD is connected again and neither the MBP nor the TBD turns on. The small light on the power cabel of my TBD does not light up. It is as the TBD would'nt have any power. Pushing buttons on my Apple Bluethooth doesnt help. I have to disconnect and reconnect the thunderbolt and the power connector a coupl of times until the MBP finally recognizes the TBD and turns on. In some cases a different background picture is shown on the TBD than the one I usually have on my MBP.
    The problem is very annoying especially because I connect and disconnect both devices and it really costs time.
    I really hope there's someone who can help with the problem. Do you think this may be hardware problem of my MBP or TBD?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    HI there,
    The first thing I would recommend is checking for any new software updates while using the display, this will check for any available firmware updates for the display. If you continue to experience issues, then you may want to take a look at the article below for some further troubleshooting steps.

    Since upgrading to Mavericks, I have been unable to sync devices (specifically ipad mini and iphone 4s) to my MId 2013 Imac . They wil rapidly connect and disconnect, and I'm unable to do anything with the device. This happens with both USB ports.  Any suggestions?
    MacBook Air, OS X Mountain Lion (10.9.1)

    Obviously, syncing an iOS device with iTunes over USB is still supported in Mavericks. Calendar and contact syncing with iTunes is no longer supported. That has nothing to do with your problem.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.

  • IPhone 4s connects and disconnects from Windows 8

    Apologies if this has been asked before as i'm sure it has but I can't find a solution.
    I have a new HP Compaq laptop using USB 3.0, when I connect my IPhone 4s to my laptop it connects and disconnects every seconds, I've looked in the device manager and can't find anything to do with Apple in there.
    Has anyone found a solution to this?

  • Every time I connect and disconnect my iphone/ipad windows vista opens windows media player in the background.  It then hogs all of my cpu.  Does this happen to anyone else?

    I am running iOS 4.3.5 and this has been going on for months now.  I need to keep my task manager open to kill the task when I connect and disconnect my iphone or ipad.  It hogs all of my cpu, sometimes opening 2 or 3 windows media players.

    Sorry, just to confirm, I DID NOT ACTUALLY ANSWER MY OWN QUESTION!
    I replied to the previous message from my iphone and I managed to hit the link to "This has answered my question" by accident!
    I AM STILL LOOKING FOR A RESOLUTION TO MY ORIGINAL PROBLEM. CAN SOMEONE ALSO NIW TELL ME HOW TO GET RID OF THE GREEN TEXT TGAT SAYS TGAT MY QUESTION IS ANSWERED? That is a pain! It should at least ask you to confirm that your question is actually answered and you didn't hit it by mistake, like I did!

  • Why does my iPad keeps connecting and disconnecting from the new late 2013 iMac

    Hi there,
    I've recently bought a new late 2013 iMac and ever since then I'm not able to connect my iPad 2 to it. When I do connect it keeps connecting and disconnecting  again and again for some reason. The cable is fine and I've tried it with other devices. Just wondered why this is and whether you guys can help me out.
    Thanks a lot!

    Hi,
    I had the same problem and just found a solution. I tryed restoring all content and settings on the iPad (Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings). It took lots of time, however it didn´t work because when I connected the iPad and iMac the problem persisted.
    Then I thought it wasn´t an iPad problem but iMac OSX problem. So I searched the web for "Reinstall Mavericks" and found this http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13871?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US.
    It also takes like 6 hours with my internet speed. Next day I connected the iPad and everything is just fine.
    I described both processes because I don´t know if in the end the iPad reset helped in the solution.
    Hope that helps! good luck

  • IPhone 4s keeps connecting and disconnecting from my new Macbook Air 2013

    Ok I've been having this problem, I recently got an 11 inch Macbook Air 2013 and after I try connecting my iPhone 4s it keeps connecting and disconnecting every 1-2 seconds. I already check the community, I know this subject has been asked many times. Nothing worked out though. My cable cord must be fine because it works perfectly on my PC. I updated the OS and iOS to their latest firmware and still nothing. Whenever I try opening iTunes I get this message saying " iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. This device is no longer connected. " Please if anyone fixed this issue I would appreciate some help. Thanks in advance.

    I just solved it, I hope this helps everyone who is experiencing the same problem. Apparently the iPhone seems to charge normally and connect to iTunes if the iPhone battery is over 60%-70%. This must be a power issue the MBA has.

  • Microsoft Messenger or Ebuddy connects and disconnects

    Hello
    I've just bought my iPhone 4 a month ago. I'm very happy with it (formerly a BlackBerry user) but there's an issue that is driving me crazy. I've installed Microsoft Messenger and it connects and disconnects every 3 minutes. Also I've tried with Ebuddy but it has the same behaviour. It's quite strange because with BlackBerry I had no issues regarding this app
    My carrier is Movistar (Colombia) and I have an unlimited data plan
    Do anybody know how to solve this? I've read the Messenger's reviews on the Apple Store and it seems that a lot of people (in Latin America at least) are having the same problem
    Thank you

    You need to contact Microsoft about a problem with their iPhone app and the same for the app developer for eBuddy.

  • My iphone4 when connected to any computer will not charge and is constantly connected and disconnected.  does the same with itunes.  Also i'm talking on the phone and all of a sudden the other person can not hear me.

    My iphone4 when connected to any computer will not charge and is constantly connecting and disconnecting.  It does the same with itunes so it doesnt really sync.  Also when talking to someone, all of a sudden they cant hear me.

    I'm having the same issue. I went to my local apple store and they could not work me into the genius bar so i made an appointment for tomorrow morning. The clerk did check the phone for the pink indicators at the top and bottom of the phone (where you plug in your USB or headphones) He said if you can see a pink indicator dot you may have gotten it wet, or had some sort of condensation in it, which could cause the plugs to not work.
    In regards to people not being able to hear you, i'm waiting for my appointment tomorrow for more news! I would recommend taking it into your local apple store for more answers.
