Laptop disagrees with printer

I have a HP PSC 1317.  It is a lovely little printer and has served me well.  But now my laptop refuses to talk to it, saying that there is a paper jam.  There was a jam and I cleared it but still my laptop gives the same excuse.  The printer works perfecly well in copy mode and passes paper through with no difficulty but my laptop still refuses to have anything to do with it.
How can I make them friends again?

Brilliant!  It worked - although not until I had rebooted the laptop after doing the hard reset on the printer.  Anyway, they have resumed their relationship and both promised not to be so silly again.
Many thanks!

    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?

  • I have an Airport Extreme, 2 laptops with windows 7 and a wireless HP printer.  I can connect the laptops to the printer.  Any advise?

    The problem is not the router.. the issue is the vpn has put your computer in a different IP range with a different gateway. When you turn off the vpn the computer returns to local lan and can print.
    Some vpn software allows you to set gateway to use local net instead of remote gateway or access to other webistes or local lan.
    Read up the issue.

    Cisco vpn client..
    https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/239113
    I did not search much.. just grabbed the first article I could find that explains the issue.
    The whole point of the vpn is whilst it is connected your computer is NOT part of the Local Lan .. it is part of the Remote LAN via the vpn tunnel.
    It is also a security risk using split tunnelling so often it will not be allowed.
    Plug the printer directly into the computer via usb or whatever.. Local connection will work.. not local lan.

  • Remote laptop won't print to new HP4622 wireless printer

    My new HP 4622 won't print from wife's laptop (Compaq Presario CQ-60-224NR w/ Windows Vista) in another part of the house on my home Centurylink DSL network with very good connectivity.  I have the printer installed at my desktop (Gateway Microsoft XP SP3) and it prints fine from the desktop.  Does the printer software also need to be installed on the laptop?  I sent a .jpg file to the printer from the laptop and it printed one line of unicode? code per page until I cancelled the job from the print queue. I have gone thru the installation guide a couple of times and nothing is fixed.  Test results say that everything passed and install is successful.  I downloaded and tried the print doctor wizard and it says no problems found.  I have McAfee total protection running, could there be a firewall problem?  I'm not sure about enabling ports or that sort of thing.  I dumped a perfectly good Lexmark X7170 all-in-one because it wasn't wireless and we couldn't get it configured to print peer-to-peer.  Now I have a new wireless printer and con't get to print remotely either.  Hope you can help.  Let me know if you need more info.  Thanks.

    Hi Ken,
    I would recommend giving the printer a static IP address for the wireless connection (not USB):
    - Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
    - Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
    - Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
    - On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you do not know the range, change the last set of numbers (those after the last '.') to 250
    - Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
    - Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway.
    - Enter 8.8.8.8 for the first DNS and 8.8.4.4 for the second DNS. This is Google DNS. You can choose another external DNS if you wish.
    - Click 'Apply'.
    Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
    After this you will have delete and re-add the printer on your computer. Do it this way:
    0. Go to Start > Control Panel > Devices & Printers and delete all instances of the printer.
    1. Make sure the printer is turned on and connected to your network. Verify that you can access the printer's internal web page by browsing to its IP address before continuing. Get its IP from a Network Test printed from the front panel of the printer.
    2. Click >> Start >> Control panel >> Devices & Printers.
    3. Click the Add a printer
    4. Select Local printer
    5. Select Create a new port and select Standard TCP/IP Port and click Next button.
    6. Under Device type, select TCP/IP Device. Under Hostname or IP address, enter the printer's IP address. Click Next.
    7. Select Hewlett-Packard from the list of manufacturers and select and select your printer model. Click Next.
    If your printer model was not listed, then select Have Disk, browse the HP CD that came with your printer and select the first file that starts with hp and ends with inf. Click Open then OK. Select your printer model. Click Next.
    8. If you are asked, use the currently installed driver.
    9. It will ask for the Printer name -- enter a new name or use the existing one. This will be the name of the printer that you select from other applications.
    10. You may be asked to share the printer. Choose NO.
    11. The Print Test Page box appears. Go ahead and print it.
    12. Click Finish.
    If you're still experiencing issues try changing the channel on your router to 11 and the encyption to WPA.

  • Problem with printing to a HP Photosmart Premium C410

    Printer purchased and installed on July 9, 2011. Connected wirelessly to a D-Link Xtreme N GIGABIT  Router  Model   DIR-655. Router IP address 192.168.0.1
    The printer worked fine until last week. Then one of our Laptops could suddenly not print or scan anymore.
    There are Two Dell Laptops connected to the same router.
    The first Laptop, Dell XPS M1530 running Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2, 4GB Ram 32 bit OS. This machine can print to HP C410 printer directly with no problems. It can see the printer’s embedded web server at 192.168.0.254 and can scan from there into a file on the laptop or can print the just scanned image from the embedded web server.  It can also print to it using HP eprint.
    The second Laptop, Dell Inspiron M1545 running Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 2, 3GB Ram 64 bit OS. This machine CANNOT print directly to the HP printer.  It can see the printer’s embedded web server at 192.168.0.24 and can scan from there into a file on the laptop (I used a PDF format and brought it up in Adobe Reader to be sure) but it CANNOT print the just scanned image from the embedded web server.  The print process fails and shows the document still in the spool queue with an error status. It can print to the HP C410 using HP eprint.
    I have used the HP suggested process of uninstalling all the printer software and re-installing it from the original CD (tried this three times) and by downloading it from www.hp.com. I have also installed the HP fix titled: Following a Network Installation, the Product Loses Functionality and Is Missing from the Devices and Printers Menu after the Computer Is Restarted in Windows 7 (64-bit Only)  
    I installed the fix after a complete un-install / re-install cycle.   I have run the HP Print Diagnostic Utility at this point in the process and it returns a clean (All Green Check Marks) report but its final test print fails in the same manner.  
    Thanks in advance for help in solving this problem.

    So, this post, as well written as it is, went totally ignored by the HP personnel that are supposedto be "helping" us poor novices? WOW! No wonder this crap gets thrown out of the house so often.
    I have two HP network printers. An HP Officejet 4500 G510g-m, and a HP Photosmart Premium C410a, and they are the most unreliable pieces of "equipment" that I have in my network. This is absolutely trhe crappiest bunch of junk on the market. The only thing worse than these "devices" is the support from HP for them.
    I also have a HP Photosmart C5280 AIO, and a Deskjet D2345 Printer. I have little, to no, problems with these two. The "flagships" of my network imaging are the worst, of the worst.

  • HP Officejet 7500 E910 Network. When asked to print "Unable to Communicate with Printer"

    My printer has been functioning well for some time.  When my some installed a new wireless modum I would often receive the error message "Unable to Communicate with Printer" but it would blink a few times, then connect and print.  As of three days ago I receive that message when trying to print from both of my laptops.  I am wireless and have checked the wireless signal and it is strong,  The wirless connect symbol is lit on the printer.  I ran a wireless Network Test Report on the printer and the results indicated no problems.
    The printer woks if I use it manually to print or scan.  Neither printing nor scanning work when command is sent from my computer.  The Wireless Network Test Report printed fine.  Interesting though the Wireless Network test Report had the following date:  Jan-00-00 00:00AM.

    Hello @Dalead,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you're receiving a message stating "Unable to communicate" when printing a document using the Officejet 7500 E910. I will do my best to assist you! I would recommend following this entire HP document on Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
    Try assigning a static IP address and let me know if this resolves your issue or not. I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great night!

  • Unable to print/scan- unable to communicate with printer message

    I am unable to print due to a unable to communicate with printer error messaege. I was previously able to print just fine( a few hours a go) the IP addy has not change. The printer is connected to the network and able to download updates etc just fine. The printer is connected  but  they just wont recognise each other. Print and scan doctor was a complete waste of time, it showed the printer insatlled but then could not connect. Can someone please help getting so very frustrated with these products. Printer is the 6700 All in one series and laptop is Hp Envy.

    Hello @leilee  , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I see you're experiencing connectivity issues.  I would like to help!
    I would first recommend a power reset.  Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
    I would then recommend utilizing this document on Wireless printing center Troubleshooting Issues.
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • "Unable to Communicate with Printer"

    I work at home, dialing into the office through VPN. Windows 7. Been using my HP printer flawlessly for 7 months, including up to yesterday, but today, I get the above error.  The printer is connected, the wireless is working in my home for all other peripherals attached to it. My work help desk is talking gobblygook to me and can't help.  It's something about an IP address. Can anyone help?  Work firewall won't let me download the HR Scan Doctor.

    Hey @GinaCh,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand that you have been using your HP Officejet Pro 8620 e-All-in-One Printer through the wireless connection to your Windows 7 computer fine for months now. However, recently, when connecting to your VPN to print you are receiving the message 'unable to communicate with printer'. Unfortunately, this error message is the exact reason why your printer is not supported over the VPN connection when wirelessly connected.
    When you network the printer it comes down to a numbers game. To explain this better I am going to use an example below. When you have a wireless printer on your network it is assigned an IP Address from your router that allows it to communicate with other devices on your wireless network, such as  your computer. The first 3 sets of numbers in an IP Address are the same on every device connected to your network.
    As an example,:
    Printer IP: 192.168.1.8
    Desktop Computer IP: 192.168.1.5
    Laptop Computer IP: 192.168.1.3
    As you can see, the first 3 sets of numbers are identical and the last digit is different on each device.
    When you connect over a VPN your computer disconnects from its local connection (your home network that the printer is connected to) and connects to your business network. This VPN connection will change the numbers so your computer that is connected to the VPN will no longer have the first 3 sets the same as the printer.
    As an example:
    Printer IP: 192.168.1.8
    Desktop Computer IP (On VPN): 10.1.10.19
    Laptop Computer IP (Not on VPN): 192.168.1.3
    If the Desktop computer 'thinks' it's on a different network when connected to the VPN than your wireless printer will be blocked from communication. The 100% way to resolve this issue would be to connect your HP Officejet to your computer through a USB Cable. If this is not an option than the next supported step would be to log into the VPN and open the document you need to print, then disconnect from the VPN and select file and print and everything should work fine.
    Now there may be security settings or port settings that may have changed on the VPN which is why the printer is now being blocked from communicating over the network. To resolve this you would need the IT Department for your company to take a look into this issue for you.
    I hope this helps clear up any confusion. Should you wish to connect your printer through a USB Cable connection I can certainly assist you with that. Best of luck!

  • Unable to communicate with printer via WiFi

    Laptop is not recognizing printer, stating "unable to communicate with printer at this time.  ! No Printer Selected".
    There is only one printer and only one to select from.
    All other laptops, iphones, etc communicate FINE!
    It is just THIS puter unable to print.  Printer is HP Photosmart C410 All-In-One Premium Fax.
    Router, modem, etc all functioning properly.  PRINTER functions properly.
    This has gotten VERY old!  Brand new MacBook Pro!
    OS X 10.9.5

    Are you receiving any error messages when you print from the desktop? Its possible the print spooler is having issues which is not pushing the jobs to the printer. Lets restart the print spooler to get any old jobs that could be stuck in the queue removed.
    1. Press the start orb in the bottom left on the screen.
    2. Click on "Run"
    3. Type "services.msc" (without the quotes)
    4. Locate the Print Spooler service in the right column
    5. Click restart on the service link on the left
    After it restarts the spooler go ahead and retry printing. Let me know if this works.
    Thanks,
    Sean

  • OfficeJet 6700 - "Unable to communicate with printer" message after install

    I am on a hybrid network with Windows 7, 64-bit. Printer is hard-wired to the router (ethernet) but laptops are wireless. Installation doesn't allow for a hybrid option, just wireless or wired, so I installed as wired.
    I just installed the OfficeJet 6700 - installed OK.  I also updated software/firmware during the install process.
    Windows' "Devices & Printers" recognizes the HP as being installed.
    Printer is able to produce the network configuration page, etc. so we know the printer is functional, but when I try to print I get an "Unable to communicate with printer" message.
    Windows' "Devices and Printers" troubleshooter thinks the driver is not installed, but as I mentioned, I just installed software from the CD.
    UPDATE: I was able to install & print without problems on my wife's Win7, 64-bit laptop. Something about mine seems to be the issue. Also, HP Print & Scan Doctor reports that everything checks out OK, but when I try to print a test page at the end of the good doctor's diagnosis, I am still "unable to communicate with printer."

    Sorry this is so long, but I tried to be through in my testing.
    Followed your suggested steps.
    I had previously set a static IP address, but just to be thorough, re-set it again with the same address.
    I unplugged the USB cord from the laptop.
    I began with the device labeled "HP OfficeJet 6700 (Copy 1)," which was set as the default printer.
    After entering the IP address & clicking Next, it searched the network and returned this message:
    Additional port information required
    The device could not be identified.
    The device is not found on the network. Be sure that:
    1. The device is turned on.
    The network is connected.
    The device is properly configured.
    The address on the previous page is correct. (re: the page where the IP address is entered)
    If you are sure the address is correct, select the device type below.
    I selected Standard (Generic Network Card) and clicked Next.
    Summary dialog appeared and I clicked Finish.
    Clicked OK/Apply.
    Attempted to print. Like before, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing.
    Right-clicked on the "Copy 1" device and selected Troubleshoot. Returned the message: Make printer "Fax HP OfficeJet 6700 the default printer" - even though this copy is already the default printer. (Usually when the original copy is set as the default, this copy is automatically re-named "Fax HP OfficeJet 6700.") I chose "Apply this fix."
    Summary page said "Troubleshooting has completed." I closed the troubleshooter and attempted to print. I closed the Devices & Printers window so it could refresh. Re-opened Devices & Printers. Now the default printer is named "Fax HP OfficeJet 6700." The other device is grayed out and is simply named "HP OfficeJet 6700."
    Attempted to print. (I'm testing w/ Notepad and .txt files)
    I have 3 choices in the Notepad's printer dialog box but only 2 devices showing in the Devices & Printers window:
    ~ "Fax HP OfficeJet 6700" - This is the default printer in the Devices and Printers window. I clicked on Print & rec'd an error message: "Send Fax - HP Officejet 6700. There is a problem communicating with the Printer. Check your USB connection & verify that the printer is ready." Notepad's print dialog box shows status as Offline. I canceled all documents in the print queue.
    ~ "HP OfficeJet 6700." When I choose this printer option, Notepad's print dialog box shows status as "Paused - Offline." I clicked on "Print" anyway, and like before, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing. This is the printer that shows as grayed out in the Devices & Printers window. I canceled all documents in the print queue.
    ~ "HP OfficeJet 6700 (Copy 1)." There is no printer by this name in the Devices and Printers window even tho' it shows in Notepad's print dialog box. Notepad's print dialog box shows status as "Ready." In Devices & Printers, when I right-click on the one labeled "Fax OfficeJet 6700" (the default device) and choose "See what's printing," 2 HP devices are listed - the one labeled "Copy 1" and the one labeled "Fax." I clicked on "Print" and like before, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing. I canceled all documents in the print queue.
    I plugged in the USB cord again and re-ran the same series of tests.
    ~ "Fax HP OfficeJet 6700" - This is still the default printer in the Devices and Printers window. Notepad's print dialog box shows status as "Ready." The fax window opened, waiting me to enter the recipient's name, add a cover sheet, etc. I closed the fax window. The .txt file was in the print queue for the "Fax" device, so I canceled all documents in the print queue.
    ~ "HP OfficeJet 6700." When I choose this printer option, Notepad's print dialog box shows status as "Paused - Offline." I clicked on "Print" anyway, and like before, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing. This is grayed out in the Devices & Printers window. I canceled all documents in the print queue.
    ~ "HP OfficeJet 6700 (Copy 1)." Again, there is no printer by this name in the Devices and Printers window even tho' it shows in Notepad's print dialog box. This is one of 2 choices in the device labeled "Fax" - the default device. Notepad's print dialog box shows status as "Ready." I clicked on "Print" and like before, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing. I canceled all documents in the print queue.
    Next, I used the printer's touch screen interface and turned the wireless connection off, leaving the USB cord plugged in.
    ~ "Fax HP OfficeJet 6700" - Status: Ready. The fax window opened, same as before. I closed the fax window & canceled all documents in the print queue.
    ~ "HP OfficeJet 6700 - Status: Paused - Offline. I clicked on "Print" anyway, and like before, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing. This one shows as grayed out in the Devices & Printers window. I canceled all documents in the print queue.
    ~ "HP OfficeJet 6700 (Copy 1)" - Status: Error. I clicked Apply, then Print. Again, this is one of 2 choices in the device labeled "Fax" - the default device. Like before, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing. I canceled all documents in the print queue.
    Reconnected to the wireless network & verified that the IP address had not changed.
    Tried again to print using "HP OfficeJet 6700 (Copy 1)" - Status: Ready. I clicked Print and again, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing. This is still listed as one of 2 choices in the device labeled "Fax" - the default device." Like before, I canceled all documents in the print queue.
    Next, I right-clicked on the one labeled "Fax OfficeJet 6700" (the default device) and choose "See what's printing" and selected the device labeled "HP OfficeJet 6700 (Copy 1)." In the print queue window, when I click on "Printer, one of my options is "Set as Default Printer." As soon as I did that, the device in the Devices & Printers window was renamed as "HP OfficeJet 6700 (Copy 1)" - no longer named "Fax." I tried to print again. Once again, file was sent to the print queue but never printed.

  • Printing problem from my Dell Laptop to my printer

  • New laptop won't print wirelessly to a network printer

    I just bought a new laptop running windows 7, and it wont print to my photosmart c5580 that is networked and wired through my computer (desktop) and shared running windows XP. I also know that my computer has to be on for this to happen, I also know that the printer is networked correctly cause I have another desktop that prints fine wirelessly through the network. The laptop recognizes the printer as well as other files that are being shared, I have also downloaded the windows 7 driver for that printer, as well as change the name of the workgroup to match the rest of the computers on the network. Any help will be appreciated.

    Hi,
    There is a challenge sharing a 32 bit driver from XP to a 64 bit version of Windows 7, as a software installation defaults to 64 bit. The exact opposite happens on a 64 bit XP to 32 bit Windows 7. The solution is to use Add a device, and check the x86 box when prompted. Here are the links to HP documents which should help you resolve the issue:

  • Color Laserjet 2605dn printer with printing envelopes correctly

    I am having problems with my HP Color Laserjet computer which is not printing envelopes from the computer which has Windows 8.1 installed on it. It will print out letters just fine now, but had problems with that previously, using WordPerfect Suite. The printer is a Color Laserjet 2605dn, which is connected to my home network. The same problem seem to be happening on my mini laptop which is running Windows XP.  I just fixed the printing problem on my windows 7 computer and had to print my envelopes using it. The HP Mini Laptop use to print out my envelopes just fine previously, but have the same problem. On the Pavillion Sleekbook, which is the newest I have the special print software from HP which lets me print paperwork where the others are not using it. I would appreciate any help with this problem. The setup isn't correct and the envelopes don't print out correctly like they did previously.

  • Problems printing - Unable to communicate with Printer

    I just reinstalled my printer and it was working fine yesterday but now I can't print today as it's giving me the error message "Unable to communicate with printer".  We did also change wireless companies but we set up the printer to it as well as my laptop.  I printed out the Network Configuration Page to get the IP address but not sure how to change it.  I need direction on where to go and how to do it and hopefully that will work.  I saw in a post that I need to  change your computer(s) printer driver configuration to match the printer's IP address, but I have no clue how.  If that is correct please help and if not, please guide me on what to do.  Thank you!
