Printer cannot connect to the server

I am going bonkers! For no reason that I can fathom my printer does not connect to the server (i.e. my PC). I have downloaded the latest drivers. I have uninstalled and re-installed. I have run the HP Doctor. The printer finds my router ok and has been set up correctly. The same problem exists with my laptop. I have windows 8.1 and HP Officejet 6600. I am at my wits end. It has worked and nothing has changed. I have run a strict anti-virus checker too. Does anyone out there have a clue as to what is going on? I will be so grateful for your help. Oh yes when I logged on to the HP site and live chat I was told my printer was out of warranty - it is only a month old! So no help there.

doghaus,
Change your preferred DNS server to 8.8.8.8 and your alternate to 8.8.4.4.
Let me know if that works for you.

Printer cannot connect to the server when "checking for update". Can't setup eprint.

I have an Officejet 4620 All-in-one working wireless. It prints, scans and sends and receives faxes well. After setting up a fixed IP address, I started to get this problem. I test the wireless connection pressing the wireless button and report says everthing's fine. I'm using Windows 7 64 bit SP1.
This is how I configured IPv4:
IP Address 10.0.0.250
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway 10.0.0.67
Preferred DNS Address 10.0.0.67
Alternate DNS Address
WINS Server 0.0.0.0
Secondary WINS Server 0.0.0.0

Hello, and Welcome to the HP Support Community!
How is the printer connected to your network? Wirelessly, or LAN cable? Did the setup routine work, and can you print to it?

HP Photosmart 5510 B111a - Cannot connect to the server

My printer is not printing when I email [id] @ hpeprint.com, even though I get the "ePrint Job Received" email, so I investigated it further.
It's on the network because I can access the web page like normal.
Here's what I'm greeted with.
There's a red cross next to the "ePrint", but the network has a green tick. Odd.
I check the "web services" tab...
Again, it shows a red cross and says "fix this".
I click "fix this", which after a little while displays this.
The error says:
Cannot connect to the server.
Check the Internet connection and try again. Or contact your system administrator or the person who set up the printer.
If your network requires a proxy server address to connect to Internet, click Enter Proxy or check your browser settings.
I know my connection is working as it should be.
I believe the fault lies in the printer, please can you advise further.
Thanks.

I discovered the problem.
I recall the printer had advised me some weeks ago to automatically set a manual IP.
When this was done it seems to turn off DNS settings so it cannot resolve any hostnames and will not access any services even though it is connected to the network.
I restored the IP back to automatic, which allowed me to also set DNS to automatically.
It seems that if you set a manual IP address on the printer, you cannot set the DNS.
Odd behaviour.

Sharepoint list dataheet view error "Cannot connect to the server at this time. You can continue working with this list, but some data may not be available"

I have a List which is having around 14000 items in it.while opening that list in datasheet view it is giving error .
Below is a summary of the issue:
After selecting datasheet view beow error occurs:
    "Cannot connect to the server at this time. You can continue working with this list, but some data may not be available."
    "Unable to retrieve all data."
    The item counts displays say 100 out of 14000 items.
Exporting List to excel is giving only 2000 records out of 14000 records.
Other Observations   -
This is happening to only one list on the site .There are other lists in the site whose no. of records is equal to 8000 to 9000.They are working absolutely fine without any error.
Also, If I am saving this list as a template and creating another list with it ,then it is working absolutely fine with 14000 records,so the issue does not seem to be related with no. of records as the template list is working fine.
I have checked the Alternate access mapping setting ,its fine.
It should not be related to lookup,datefield or any other column as the list created from it template is working fine with all these columns.
I checked below links also ,but doesn't seem to work in my case.

I have spent two days to resolve this issue. Microsoft has released two KBs with reference to this issue...but are not appearing in search results at the top.
I am sharing my finding.
1. First install the
KB2552989 (Hopefully you might have already installed it. The KB detetcts it and informs the user.)
2. Then update registry by adding new key for data fetch timeout as mentioned inKB2553007
These two steps resolved the issue in our environment. Hope it might help others as well.

Hi,
Me and a collegue is administrering our new enterprise BI portal in SharePoint 2013 (On Premise) and have a problem with using a specific Excel file including general ledger data as data source through a BISM file.
This particular BISM file can't be saved without getting the error message "There were errors found while validating the page: Cannot connect to the server or database."
BISM files against other Excel sheets and sources (for example SSAS tabular databases) works well.
Can anyone help us pinpointing whats wrong here, this is a really important stakeholder in our organization requesting this reporting?
Cheers!

The restor pocess did not succeed because your computer cannot connect to the server - Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials Experience

Hi all
I've been running Windows Server 2012 R2 with the Essentials Experience in test for a Windows 8.1 client environment, on an HP ProLiant MicroServer N54L. Overall I've found the Essential Experience set-up over WHS2011 and WHSv1 okay; still looking to extract
any real value over the former versions.
This box has been up and running for a few months now, with client backups of a Win 8.1 box scheduled and running successfully every day. However when trying to conduct any file restores from the backups, to the client, I receive an error dialog once I go
through motions from the Dashboard:
On the 'Devices' tab, right-click the appropriate client and select 'Restore files or folders for the computer'
'Restore Files of Folders' dialog pops up, asking me to 'Choose a backup' from the list of all the backups that have run
Select any one in the list - have tried numerous backups; automatic, manual, etc. same result every time
Brings up the dialog to 'Choose a volume', choose either C: or D: partitions of the same fixed drive - again, no difference which one I choose, the outcome is the same
'Opening the volume' dialog starts, with progress bar, runs to about 4% complete the pops up the dialog 'The restore process did not succeed'. Full error in the dialog, "The restore process did not succeed because your computer cannot connect to the
server. Make sure that the computer is connected to the networkm and then try again
If my computer cannot connect to the server - how can I get that far? How can I open the dashboard, select a client, select from a list of backups, select a volume to restore, etc. What is going on here?

Hi,
Please check if a "host" entry for the server is added to the client. For more detailed information, please refer to the threads below:

Error message received submitting form via email - "Acrobat cannot connect to the server"

Some of my users are unable to submit form data. The forms are set up to be submitted via email and only a few of the users are effected. They have installed the latest versions of both Acrobat and Adobe Reader.
"Acrobat cannot connect to the server, but will automatically submit your form once the server is online. You can check tracker for the status of this submission."
"You have already submitted the data on this form and it is waiting to be sent. Further changes are not allowed until the prior data is sent."
I know that this question has been asked before, but there has not been a response. This is very frustrating.
Thanks for any help or sugesstions.

I have this exact same error, but also have not yet found a workaround.
Only sporatic users get the error, and I've been unable to duplicate it from my machine. I am on Adobe Reader v 10.1.2.
Actually I can get around the error if I were to downgrade to Adobe v9, but that is a bandaid fix - not really a secure answer.

My ipod is in recovery mode and my itunes cannot connect to the server what do i do?

my ipod is in recovery mode and my itunes cannot connect to the server what do i do?

Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

BPC Excel: The system cannot connect to the server. There might be network

Hi Guys,
I get the following error when i try to connect to BPC Excel: The system cannot connect to the server. There might be network or security issue.
This only happen on clients machines, I have installed the client tools on the server and tested, i can connect to Excel but not on the machine. My MS office version is the same as the one on the server. BPC is ver 5.04
Has anyone experienced the same problem.
your help will be greatly appreciated.

Let me summarize your issue to see if I may help. If I cannot, then you will need to work with SAP Support on the connection problem.
- You have a single or multi-server setup?
- Installed using BPC 5.1 SP3, (or 5.0.502) correct?
- You can enter the BPC on the server, both via BPC Excel and BPC Admin?
- When you initiate BPC Admin on your client, so can connect to the Server and perform Admin operations?
- When you initiate BPC for Excel, and walk through the connection wizard, you cannot connect to the server?
- When you are in the Connection Wizard, are you using a path or a Server designation?
- Is the system on a single domain?
- When you added users to the Admin Security profile, they were selected from a DOMAIN?
- You have processed security and assigned ALL TASKS currently and processed the MEMBER ACCESS profiles, yes?
After all of this, have you uninstalled 1 BPC client, cleared the ProgramFiles/BPC folder, and deleted the local stored BPC information? If you haven't, just for simplification, I would attempt this process.
You also hae read all the SAP Support Notes regarding using Excel2007 with BPC and the issues you may experience?
Please let me know and maybe we can help.

InitCatalog:Cannot connect to the server

Hello,
We have installed BPC 7.0 in 2-server architecture.
First server is VM - Windows 2003 32 bit, it contains
- BPC
- Reporting Services
- Integration Services
Second server is physical. Windows 2003 64 bit, it contains
- SQL Server 2005
- OLAP Server 2005
We have installed also a separate client: admin and office tools.
During opening Excel 2007 (provider Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 is installed on first server) we got error:
InitCatalog:Cannot connect to the server 'XXXXX'. The server is either not started or too busy.
After clicking the OK button in the error message, I was further notified that Account dimension member cannot be downloaded and so on.
It looks like similar problem as in this thread: InitCatalog:Cannot connect to the server 'XXXXX'.
But it wasn;t solved.
We got also the same error during processing cubes/dimensions from BPC Administrator.
Can anybody help us solving this problem?
Thanks in advance.

Powerview Cannot connect to the server due to a security issue. The server may not have been able to match the host for silverlight

Hello,
I have a sharepoint 2010 sp1 CU Dec 2011 server with a SQL Server 2012 SP1 CU4 reporting services instance. I am able to open Power View and use it normally when bypassing the ISA Reverse Proxy server. However when going thru ISA I receive the
following Error.
Power View Cannot connect to the server due to a security issue. The server may not have been able to match the host for Silverlight. This error appears after I click yes on an Internet Explorer Display Mixed Mode prompt.
I've seen a couple references to this issue but not much. This one mentions a clientaccesspolicy.xml file but I haven't had any luck with that. http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/716433/cannot-connect-to-the-server-due-to-a-security-issue-the-server-may-not-have-been-able-to-match-the-host-for-silverlight
Any Ideas? Thanks.
Ryan

Hi Ryan,
Based on my research, the issue should occur due to a by design behavior in Threat Management Gateway (TMG). To work around this issue, you can use SSL between the TMG and the SharePoint Web Server.
Hope this helps.
