HP C4580: Communication Failure: The computer is no longer able to communicate with your printer.

Hi,
After having successfully set up the C4580 and run some test printouts which were all very satisfactory, this morning the above message appeared.
The error message box suggests to "Turn the printer off, check your printer connections and check for printer errors, and turn the printer back on."
I tried this, but I'm still unable to print. Any suggestions? By the way my computer is a Mac if this helps.
Many thanks

I'm using a mac (OS X - snow leopord) and am printing over the network (wirelessly).
HP Photosmart Premium Fax All in One - C410a
I was only able to print one page and then both my printer and my computer would display an error message about the printer's inability to print. Since then I've been able to resolve my specific problem.
I
1. uninstalled HP from my computer (checked to ensure that my printer was no longer visible in my printers and the HP Utility software was nowhere to be found),
2. grabbed the software/driver update from Aug, 2010,
3. installed the Aug, 2010 update, and my problems seem to have been fixed.
This is where I got my 2010 update from (obviously you should get the driver/software applicable to your OS and specific printer):

Communication Failure: The computer is no longer able to communicate with your printer.

Hello, I have a HP Officejet J6480 All-in-One printer. When I try to print, I receive this error message:
"Communication Failure: The computer is no longer able to communicate with your printer. Turn the printer off, check your printer connections and check for printer errors, and turn the printer back on."
I am using a Mac PowerBook G4, OS v10.5.7. I have tried the following:
-- rebooted my Mac
-- turned printer off/on
-- rebooted wireless router
-- tried to print using USB cable.
I continue to receive the same error message. Helllllllllllllllp!!!!
A couple of other things I need to mention: I bought this printer in June and have been able to print just fine since purchasing
this printer. As recently as Friday, July 3, I was able to print and printed 6 or 7 pages then. This is CRAZY!!!!
Thanks.
Barb

Fatal: Communication Failure: The computer is no longer able to communicate

I was printing some documents and was doing great, all of a sudden the printer stopped and started showing this message;
+"fatal: Communication Failure: The computer is no longer able to communicate with your printer. Turn the printer off, check your printer connections and check for printer errors, and turn the printer back on."+
(the printer is a HP Photosmart 7760).
I've done everything I could think of to fix the problem but nothing (deleted the printer, re-added it, downloaded the new driver from the website, turned off and back on, re-started the computer) but then, I really really screwed things up when I went and deleted the "PrintJobMgr/Contents/MacOS/PrintJobMgr"
Wow! How smart. Now I'm trying to restore that file. I've looked in the internet to see if it is available, I got it from a friend but it doesn't work..
Please, can somebody tell me what can I do at this point.
Oh, I forgot to mention that the printer is connected to my Airport Extreme Router.
Help!

It sounds like you need to do a reinstall to get the PrintJobMgr back. I don't think you can use Pacifist (versiontracker.com) to install this separately, but it might be worth a try.
Reinstalling the PrintJobMgr should get you back to where you started. At this point, I would disconnect all the cables, turn off the printer, let it sit for a bit, then reconnect and power up the printer.
Hope this helps.

HP printer error: computer is no longer able to communicate

I have an OfficeJet L7680 and a G5 iMac running OS 10.5.8. And for the last six months, every time I installed new software or hardware ANYWHERE the printer stopped communicating with displayed this message in the print queue window:
"Communication Failure: The computer is no longer able to communicate with your printer. Turn the printer off, check your printer connections and check for printer errors, and turn the printer back on"
The standard 'fix' on this is to manually un-install the print driver and reinstall it. After doing this 3X on 3 computers, I discovered that running HP Setup Assistant seems to fix the problem -- so far, anyway.
I know that many people have had this problem with generations of OS/X and HP printers, so I hope this is helpful.

I just had a similar problem. I had a hard drive going bad and put in a new one and used time machine to recover from. For what ever reason I started getting the safe error message when I tried to print. The only solution I found that would work was to delete all of the printers and then reload.
Strange to say the least. I have never really had any printer problems.
CD

Communication between the computer and the disc drive failed

The disc can’t be burned because because communication between the computer and the disc drive failed (error code 0x80020022). This computer has been out of the box for less than a month and this has been a growing problem.

My problem was FIXED at the apple store..... there was something wrong in the system preferences and the genius deleted something that recreated it's self. Surely enough we we're able to burn a 600 mb dmg of nothing onto a few test disks. For anyone having this issue...it's NOT The media, it's some configuration issue within the computer's preferences. I'm telling you all to take your machine to the nearest apple store and have them fix it, if your machine is still under warranty the fix is free. There was no hardware issue, so the optical drive was not replaced.

I have burned CDs before from 2gb to 7gb using different types of discs. Now I get this error message Apple error The disc can't be burned because communication between the computer and the disc drive failed (error code 0x80020022). What should I do

Iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time. If you sync to another, it will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.
What have you tried?
What happened?

The ipad wont sync and will return an error "Ipad cannot sync because the computer is no longer authorized to transfer the purchases..." But when I do a file devices transfer purchases.

The ipad wont sync and will return an error "Ipad cannot sync because the computer is no longer authorized to transfer the purchases..." But when I do a file>devices>transfer purchases. It is successful. Updated to ios7 recently. I'm facing the problem since then. I've tried deauthorizing and then authorizing several times.

Thanks Gail but ive tried that as well as logging oht and back into my accounts on my iphone and mac but I still get that message. I actually found a solution by unckecking my synced music playlist and clicking sync to remove it and then reclicked on my playlist to sync and it actually synced notmally and I got all of my new songs so I wanted to test it again so I clicked on sync again and the message once again popped up until I did the un-syncing and re-syncing again. I guess I will keep doing that in the future even though its annoying but its better than resetting my iphone.

The computer is no longer autorised

Hi
I sometimes get a "The computer is no longer authorised to whatever it is.."
I can choose to re-authorise it, which it accepts with a sign: You have now authorised 3 of your five computers. After this another sign comes, "your computer is already authorised" (maybe that one comes first)..
"you cannot transfer these apps to the computer as its not authorised" is the next diaog appearing, which doesnt really bother me..
I have an iPhone that I sync ONLY on my PC with Windows Vista
I have an iPod Touch that I sync ONLY on my MAC with Snowleopard.
The problem is on both.
As mentioned, for each device, I am on computer number three according to iTunes, but I have only used the one... I am getting nervous I might run out of computers (according to iTunes)..
Does anyone have a suggestion as what to do?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards

I have just bought an ipod classic, I already have an ipod nano. The new ipod was connected to the computer to charge and it named itself with my name on the old nano, how do I get the computer to recognise the new one

I have just bought an ipod classic, I already have an ipod nano. The new ipod was connected to the computer to charge and it named itself with my name on the old nano, how do I get the computer to recognise the new one?

My mistake, it was nothing to do with format. It woldn't sync because my movies were HD. HD movies won't sync to an iopd classic 160 GB but when you purchase a HD movie, itunes gives you a SD vervsion of the movie which is compatible with the ipod. Just needed to go to store, click movies, click purchased and untick the HD box and there you have the SD versions. Download the SD versions and then sync your ipod and bobs you uncle, movies are on the ipod

The cursor on my iMac freezes, and I cannot do anything unless I unplug the computer. It is NOT a problem with the mouse or the keyboard ... it is internal. How do I fix this??

Sorry to say but your imac g5 logic board has bad caps. This was a problem apple had and issued a out of warentee fix but that has now expired.
The cost to get this repaired is more than what you could find another used imac for.
I would suggest you get some details before you rush to make a diagnosis. You have absolutely no information to base this on. I see you're hitting up on numerous threads all over the place. Quality, meaning several good posts with reliable advice, is much more worthwhile than quantity.

What should I do?

Communicate with iTunes? What does this mean? Tell us what you are seeing on your screen and what you then try to do?
