HP Photosmart C4380 [8A36CB] communicat​ion error with MacBook OS 10.7.5 over wireless

Hi,
I keep getting the message 'communication error' when trying to print wireless to a Photosmart C4380 from my MacBook (OS 10.7.5) through a TimeCapsule 2Gb router.
The message also says: "/usr/libexec/cups/backend/dnssd failed" but I don't know what to do with it...
I tried to de- and re-install, restart laptop, printer and router and pull all plugs in different sequences, first use the USB cable to install wireless and all other help from HP ... but nothing seems to work (HP Doctor is not available for Mac).
The strange part is that:
1.it started a couple of weeks ago, without having changed anything (by my knowledge),
2. printing from my iMac works fine (same wireless network, same software version, same settings, etcetera)!!!
2. printing over USB from my MacBook works fine
3. I can print a test-page from "HP Utility" form my MacBook (and of course from my iMac but that one works fine anyway)
4. I can access the printer through "http://hp8a36cb.local./index.htm?cat=info&page=pri​nterInfo" and there are no issues mentioned whatsoever,
5. the 'HP Network Configuration Page' and the 'Wireless Network Test Report' congratulate me on the successful setup of my wireless printer... but it doesn't work.
I've read almost all posts about communication errors over wireless but haven't found an answer to my issue (yet).
Is there anyone with a solution? Please??

  • Communicat​ion error with GPIB

    Hello,
    i am using GPIB card but its not communicating.

    Is this an NI card? What model? Does MAX show that NI-GPIB is installed (assuming you have an NI card)?

  • AI configurat​ion error with LockinDEMO

    Whenever I push the start button on the DEMO I get an error with my AI Group Configuration.

    Hello,
    Are you attempting to simulate a signal to see how the toolkit works or are you trying to use it with a piece of hardware that you have?
    If you are simulating, make sure that "SW" is selected beside "Signal Generator" instead of "Off" before you push the Start button.
    If you are using hardware you have then make sure you are referencing that piece of hardware on the front panel. Scroll the front panel over to the left and address your piece of hardware.

  • Problem with TCP/IP communicat​ion: error ni-448 when I want to write on a TCP/IP-con​nection

    Hi folks
    I have a really annoying problem: I want a computer (Win XP, Ethernet board, Labview 7.1) to communicate with my robot controller (Win 2k, Epson SPEL+ language). The robot controller is the client, the LabViewPC the server. now reading messages sent by the robot controller are no problem to read. But when I want to send messages from the LabViewPC to the robot controller I get an error message: error ni-448, make sure that the GBIP-controller is the primary controller.
    For the communication I open a TCP-listener and a TCP wait listener in a while loop. So far this works. Then I use the TCP-write function to send a string to the robot controller. Here the error described above occurs. So the communication doesn´t work.
    Can anybody help me?
    Please. Thank you in advance!

    hi there,
    are there several network adapters on your host? if so pass the IP of the network adapter to the "TCP listen.vi". i'm not sure but i think i remember that in former versions this had no effect. then you could use "TCP Listen.vi" on your slave and "TCP Open Connection" function on your host.
    you can use the "Simple Data Server" and "Simple Data Client" examples for a quick test.
    Best regards

  • 6500a e710 a-f - Scanner Communicat​ion Error Windows 8.1

    We have been experiencing issues with scanning whilst connected via USB, using the HP Scan software. The software returns an error message saying scanner communication cannot be established, half way through scanning. Then HPScan.exe fails to load again. The printer just says “scanning cancelled” on its display.
    This is only effecting one model of PC and that is a HP 8300 Ultra-Slim PC.
    We are running Windows 8.1 64 bit from an image install. However, I have tested this with a fresh Windows 8.1 retail installation and get the same problem.
    We have tried various actions to fix this:
     - Various accounts, admin accounts, domain admin accounts, local accounts etc.
     - Uninstall and reinstall. Basic and Full driver packages including the latest versions
     - Removed all other HP software from PC including registry keys
    - Used built in Windows 8 scan software with basic driver
     - All USB ports tested including 2.0, 3.0 and powered / non-powered
     - Replaced cables
     - Re-isntalled USB bus drivers for 8300
     - Followed the print/scan doctor which shows a driver error - scandriver unable to communicate with product
     - Run HPScan in compatibility mode for 7/XP
     - Updated firmware on printer
     - Installed latest Windows Updates
     - Checked WIA service and dependencies are running
     - Semi and Full factory resets on Printer
     - Shell hardware detection service set to manual
     - We have replaced the printer for an affected user - same issue
     - Also replaced PC for an affected user - same issue.
     - Updated PC BIOS
    I have tested connecting the printer to the router with a network cable and then installing printer as a networked device rather than USB and then the hpscan.exe works. So this is only an issue with USB (though it wouldnt be practical to try and talk 200+ users through networking their printer).
    As you can see, we have tried almost everything. Interestingly we havent been able to replicate this issue in one of our main offices - despite collecting the same PC and Printer from an estate and bringing it back to an office.
    We have also sent out a working PC and Printer combo to an affected estate office and it has not worked there.
    Our Estate Offices connected via an ADSL Router and "My Documents" are re-directed to a network location. Could a failure in accessing this network location cause the problems? I have tested connectivity to network store from PC and it accesses the files fine.
    Any solutions would be greatly received, I have spoken to HP After Sales support but not received an working solution yet.

    Greetings, @Scammell29
    I have read through your post and have very ideas left for you, as you've tried quite the load of troubleshooting!
    I am thinking the issue could be power related, so try a power reset and plug the printer in directly to the wall outlet. Avoid power bars, surge protectors, etc. Just a direct plug in to the wall to test the power. Afterwards, see if you still receive the communication error.
    If the issue continues, next try a disk cleanup, the instructions are included in this guide: A 'No Computer Detected' or 'Connection Error' Message Displays during Scanning for HP Officejet 650...
    If the error still persists, perform a Clean Boot and restart the PC and then disable the Firewall and Anti-Virus scanners.
    Please let me know the results!
    Good luck

  • Serial Communicat​ion Error -107380725​3

    Hello!
    I'm trying to make a simple serial port reader VI and i can't get over this:
    Error -1073807253 occurred at VISA Read in communication.vi
    Possible reason(s):
    VISA: (Hex 0xBFFF006B) A framing error occurred during transfer.
    I'm pretty shure that the device sending a data works properly and the parameteres like a boud rate, parity etc. are set correctly because I've already communicate with that device via Matlab.
    Although I've noticed that somebody here have the problem with this error, but I can't find any solution for me.
    There is a picture of my simple VI diagram in Attachments. The parameters of the communication are set at the beginnig, after that and a litle delay the input buffer is flushed, then the loop starts. When the buffer contain nine or more bytes this bytes are readen. 
    Please, can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong?
    Thanks

    So what happens if by the time the loops comes back around, you have 10 bytes waiting for you at the port?

    Hi, Dennis Knutson
    very glad to see you.
    For my vi, i only provide a UI for user to select GPIB or serial mode, and setting related port.
    About "Also, the 34970 llb you are using should be replaced with the 8.x project library.", What do you
    mean? There is a new driver for 34970,right?
    I search the forum and find a old thread:Agilent 34970 Visa Timeout.
    There is your answer:
    I made a mistake. The initialize function already had a timeout function. I just didn't look at the VI closely enough. There is a case statement that sets either the serial port parameters or just sets the VISA timeout. If you are setting the timout right after the VISA Open, it's just getting set back to 10 seconds. Change it in the case statement and see if that works. Sorry, and I hope this works.
    Do you think this is the same with my problem? Your mean to modify default 10 seconds to more longer timeout,right? 
    Thanks.

  • Why is HP Photosmart C4780 wi-fi not working with MacBook Air?

    My HP Photosmart C4780 and my MacBook Air seem incapable of maintaining a wi-fi connection.
    My printer will work with a wired connection but the combined scanner no longer works at all.
    I have installed and uninstalled the printer on numerous occasions it works as soon as it is reinstalled but this never lasts.
    I am out of guarantee with HP and Apple and have paid HP Several times for help but I am wondering if it would be better to buy another printer.
    Any help would be gratefully received.

    First try Reset Printing System, a menu choice in Printer Setup Utility. You'll have to re-Add the printers (don't "install" drivers or any software though).

  • IChat AV communication error with MacBook

    I've been reading through the posts on this topic. I have been doing video chat with mac mini (intel) and an iSight camera with no problems whatsoever. However, when I disconnect my mac mini and plug the ethernet cable into my macbook however, I cannot start an ichat. I get a communication error and then a message that says that the video chat failed to start because I did not respond.
    I tried several different quicktime connection speed settings, but the same thing happens.
    The same thing happens when using the macbook on an airmac mini wireless network. The mac mini works fine; however, the macbook has the same problem as above.
    Please help!

    Hi Phillip,
    The Surfboard you have is not listed on the Port Forward site.
    There is howerver a Buffalo BBR 4MG which maybe similar.
    The pics they have are mostly in Chinese though.
    Ok.
    So in the Network TCP/IP tab it will list the "router" IP
    Type this into a web browser.
    It will probably ask you for a User ID and password.
    This is going to be a guesstimate at this point.
    Check all the other Motorola items on the Port Forward site (then the iChat page) to find out the varients that can be tried.
    When you gian access then we will need to know if it has UPnP or is stucj with Port Forwarding. It would also be useful to know if it can be changed to Bridge mode.
    An Airport device can be made to be just an Access Point where it does not do any routing. Do you know if the Buffalo can do this ?
    (We are trying to avoid two lots of DHCP and two lots of NAT (used with Port Forwarding) )
