Officejet 7310 Print Spooler Unable to connect to your Printer

Hello, this problem cropped up last week after I applied a series of Windows XP automatic updates.  I've seen a number of old posts on this problem, along with the series of solutions on the HP site, but none of worked reliably -- read on for more details.  Wondering if anyone else encountered this problem recently and has a solution that has lasted? 
As background, the 7310 is connected via ethernet wire to a router.  I run two XP machines and am running into the "print spooler" problem on each.  I also run a Win7 machine, and can print fine from that PC (I know, so upgrade to Win7 -- maybe this winter!!).   More details on what I've tried, if it helps:
To try and fix the XP machines, I have: 
-  Cleared the print queue and rebooted.
-  Verified that the printer is using the correct port
-  Verified that my XP machines can communicate with the printer  by scanning a document
-  Completely uninstalled and reinstalled the 7310 complete driver set
At this point I  was still unable to print from the XP machines.  I then did the following: 
-  Checked the port settings; tried changing to the "print directly to the printer" vs spooling
-  Also noticed that windows wanted to download updates to the Microsoft .NET framework (because the HP driver installs an old version), so I dowloaded and applied all of those updates. 
After this, I WAS able to print.  I then changed the port setting back to spooling, and was still able to print.  I then rebooted, and again ran into the spooler problem. 

Hi NeverBoring,
Currently the ICS is not supported in Home&Biz app.  Supposedly there was going to be a Home&Biz app update in late February but we haven't seen it yet.

  • Device Manager reported driver missing for Officejet 7310 printer

    I used the full-feature install software downloaded from HP site to setup an Officejet 7310 printer on a Lenovo T540p laptop with Windows 8.1 64-bit OS.  The install and the printer appear to work correctly as I can print and I can also scan from the HP Solution Center utility.  However, the Device Manager reports two errors/anomolies as follows.
    Under the "Multifunction adapters" entry the Officejet 7300 series Properties shows the Device Status as:
    This device is disabled. (Code 22)
    Click Enable Device to enable this device.
    Under the "Other devices" entry theOfficejet 7300 series Properties shows the Device Status as:
    The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)
    There are no compatible drivers for this device.
    To find a driver for this device, click Update Driver.
    I find this a bit baffling as I believe the install software is supposed to include the driver(s), plus the printer seems to function (which could be due to default Microsoft drivers).
    Any thoughts on how things got in this state and how to recover would be deeply appreciated as I prefer to not "ignore" the error messages.
    Thanks,
    Glenn
    This question was solved.

    Yes I was able to remove the USB instance and rename the network-connected printer instance as the sole printer.  I thought that should work, but I was a bit paranoid given the other weird things that happened with the package install.
    I'm good to go; thanks again.

  • Reload Software:552 and then "Application loader was unable to connect with your device."

    Hi guys
    I'm new to this forum and looking for a help please..
    My curve 8900 got the "Reload Software:552" message on the screen. I was trying to uninstall an application and after it asked me to reboot, it showed me that message. I already try to reinstall the OS like most of you guys said. But when I already in the process of that, it showed me "Application loader was unable to connect with your device. Please re-connect yout device, enter password, if requiered, and retry" 
    I was trying this steps..
    1. use the BlackBerry Desktop Manager
    2. connect the BlackBerry to the computer using a USB cable
    3. click application loader, then start
    4. then i choose the OS and apps i want to install it also
    5. after i click finish and the process start, i stuck on the task 2 of 5 "wait for device initialization" and then the message "Application loader was unable to connect with your device. Please re-connect yout device, enter password, if requiered, and retry"  showed.
    I try and try again but there is no use. it keeps show that message.
    help me please, this really frustrates me
    Thanks in advance guys..

    1. Make certain your USB cable is connected to a main REAR USB port on the rear of the PC, not a front USB port, not a USB hub.
    2. Try loading the OS with these instructions (make sure that Desktop Manager is not running):
    1. Download the OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
    2. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
    3. Plug in BB and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.

  • HP OfficeJet Pro 8500A Plus "unable to connect to the server"

    I have had this printer for a couple years and now it is saying it is unable to connect to the server.  The light under the wifi symbol is not lit up and nothing happens when I press that button.  
    I have restarted the printer, reinstalled the driver, restarted the router ... to no avail.
    The router is working properly as my 2 computers are both working.

    Hi bhappie,
    Welcome to the HP Support forums.  I gather that you are unable to connect your Officejet 8500A plus printer to your wireless network.
    This printer can be connected by an ethernet cable or connected to your wireless network but cannot support both simultaneously as referenced in the document The Printer Does Not Support Ethernet (Wired) and Wireless Network Connections at the Same Time.  To setup the wireless feature you will need to unplug the ethernet cable.  
    Your wireless printer can be easily connected to your wireless network from the front panel of your printer.  If you are unsure how to do this the instructions can be found in your User Guide on page 219 in the section titled “To set up a wireless communication using the Wireless Setup Wizard”.  
    Now that the printer has a wireless connection, any computer that uses the printer, will need to have the connection method updated.  The instructions on how to do this can also be found in your User Guide on page 221 in the section titled “Change the connection method”.  There is a sub-section dedicated to Windows operating systems and one dedicated to Mac operating systems.

  • Acrobat unable to connect to your email program

    Hi, can you use gmail as an email client when posting a file?
    says it is unable to connect, is there a way around this? i have 20 files to different people to post each with a individual sticky onit, and saving each file then uploading would be a pain

  • HP OfficeJet 7310 Prints Garbage via D-Link

    I have an HP Officejet 7310xi All-in-One: The only way I can use all the functions and have it print correctly is having it directly connected to my computer. But when I connect it (USB) via my D-Link DPR 1260 wireless print server, which is wirelessly connected to my Airport Extreme, it prints garbage at the top of each page -- squishes everything up there, dropping lines.
    For example, in MS Word, if I have two tables separated by three lines, the tables print one after the other. If I have various graphics, they squish to the top. This happens with PDF documents also, opened via Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat. In addition, all the text in Excel spreadsheets cascades to the bottom roght of the cells, dropping text out of the cells.
    Finally, it allows hardly any of the HP multifunctionality it's supposed to come with.
    HP touts this as being a wireless-adaptable printer, so everything should work with my wireless setup. The D-Link is supposed to work with Macs also.
    My HP LaserJet 1300 works fine wirelessly with this setup.
    I have downloaded and installed all the latest HP drivers. Everything else is updated as well (latest Airport, D-Link etc.) I cycled everything, restarted everything, reset the printers, etc. etc. Spent at least 8 hours total on the phone wiht Apple, HP, and D-Link technicians.
    Does anyone have a fix for any of this?
    The one issue I've read that MAY be relevant relates to non-ASCII text messages being sent to the PS printers (an Adobe issue maybe?), but I can't find where to fix that with Word documents, if it's even the issue.
    I'm aware that there are problems with multifunction printers and Leopard, but I have the latest Tiger.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    This is a limitation of using third party wireless print servers. Most multifunctions will only allow (simple) printing.

    I would expect this is the case IF you use the HP wireless adapter for your printer.

    This would be expected as it is just a printer.

  • Officejet 7310 print cartridge door open error message

    I have just tried replacing my black ink cartridge with a new one and it started giving a cartridge door is open error message. I have reinserted it several times and used old cartridges that were ok before but the same message remains. i have checked the colour door and the black door and the projecting wire is slightly loose as it looks like a piece of plastic that holds it in place has gone. I have tried using blue tack but it is now giving a message saying 'Error - remove the right cartridge and check it'. I can try supergluing the wire but I dont know if its this or not, or if the cartridge door sensor is playing up, but I don't know where this is? Can anyone help otherwise it looks like I will have to get a new printer?

    The problem is the spring tension used to hold the cover open is stronger than the poorly designed weak hinges.
    The way I solved it was to break both the hinges, (pretty easy to do just open and close the cover a few times),  lift the cover up being carefull not to break the ribbon cable (wires) from the cover to the base. Then I pryed out the lower spring plates, these are located in the hinge assembly of the printer and removed the black plastic plunger and  the large springs below it from both hinges. The cover wil now stay closed and allow you to print. You just have to be careful when changing the print cartridges as the cover can open too far now and possibly break the wires going to the top cover.

  • HP Laserjet 2820 - print spooler was unable to connect

    Working in Microsoft 2003 and printer is on a wireless network. In over a year - never had a problem until 5 days ago an error message appeared when I attempted printing which stated... print spooler was unable to connect to your printer. This can be caused by your printer being turned off, the cable being unplugges, or being connected to a VPN, which will block your access to your local network.
    Also, when I attempted accessing the Print Settings from HP Director, it would not open and gave an error message...An unknown error occurred. Make certain that the device's power cord is plugged in, the power is turned on, and that all cables are properly connected. Check the Troubleshooting tab or product documentation for more information.
    Next, I thought I would delete the software and re-install.  However - I no longer have the installation disk for the printer.I then tried changing the printer port to a standard port. That did not work.
    Help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Hi colleenmercy,
    On the network menu, select Restore Network Defaults.  This will clear the current network settings and allow  you to reconnect the printer to the network.  You can use the wireless setup wizard or reinstall the HP software to reconnect.

  • Unable to connect to proxy server in internet explorer 11

    Hi could you help me please im unable to connect to internet in internet explorer 11 ,windows 7..I cannot contact my internet security Norton nor microsoft help it says proxy server unable to connect,contact your administrator.I have been through many
    things and nothing has worked.Im unable to to change anything in the lan settings as when i uncheck things it checks them again.As you can prob tell im a bit of a novice to say the least ,please help.Yours AH

    Hello bongolfc22,
    If my understanding is right, you can’t use the Internet Explorer 11 to open website, and when you uncheck the option in the LAN settings, it will check it back.
    Please answer the following question for better analyzation:
    1. Is the computer domain-based?
    2. Have you made any changes before this issue?
    If this computer is domain-based, Please check if other computers have the same issue.
    If so , we need to contact the administrator of the domain.
    Additionally, we could try to reset Internet Explorer and check if the issue still exists.
