Printer Communication stall status

Just checking if there is any more guidance on the problem where a print job starts but fails to complete because of communication error, OS 10.5.2, MacPro, Epson RX680 in particular.
Removing and reinstalling Epson drivers don't work for me.
My USP connected C1300 and networked HP 5850, and Epson R200 seem to work fine.

As an update, I found that when I turn my HP photo C3180 off and disconnect the aluminum keyboard (use a spare white one instead), everyone is much happier.... I dunno about 10.5.2

Printer Communication Error

I've owned an Epson 1280 printer for about a year now, but for some reason it no longer prints. When I print a document the pop-up message reads: "Printer communication error, try reseting printer and try again"
But that still doesnt work. My system profile can read the printer, but my printer list can not.
When I try to add a printer via Printer Setup Utility, it can't find the new drivers. Even after installing new drivers from the Epson website.
What is this communication error? And how can I fix it?
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) Printer: Epson 1280 | DVD RW: Sony DRX 810UL

I never found an answer to my problem. I just used the lazy way of troubleshooting any problem.
I just reinstalled my OS and archived the previous system. Everything is fine again. My Epson 1280 prints, YES!

Any fix for the PC based network printer communication issue with Mavericks?

Any fix for the PC based network printer communication issue with Mavericks?

I just signed up for FIOS and am not experiencing your problem (had enough other ones instead).
Go to mail preferences ~ click on a mail account ~ click on the advanced tab. The only settings that worked for me were: port 110 SSL OFF, authentication: Authenticated POP (APOP). If I remember correctly when I first set this up another window opened and I typed in my password and never had to do that again.
Hope this helps.

XI Communication Channel Status sent to email/ccms

Hi,
We need to get an alert via email/sms whenever our XI Communication Channel Status got an errors (RED) or got inactive (YELLOW). Please shed some light on this. Thanks.
Regards,
Raquel

Hi Raquel,
Let me try to clear out some things in this thread . First of all you do your alert configuration which you say you have already done. Thats good . Now you ask that you want only to monitor the communication channels and you want specific guide . Here is the specific guide.
If you have configured alerts you will know that when you create an alert rule you have the option to choose radio button where did the error occur it could be no restriction , integration engine or adapter engine. You need to choose adapter engine.
Now whenever the colour of the lights change to red. You will get your alerts.

Printer communication error and cannot add a new printer

I was happily using my Epson Artisan 810 printer this morning, connected wirelessly to my iMac. All of a sudden I cannot print, get "Communication Error". Checked Epson's website, no luck there. Re-checked my wireless settings on the printer itself and re-confirmed them, it will print test pages from the printer, but still not communicating with the iMac. I thought that removing the printer and then adding it back in might help, but now I cannot add any printer at all.
I resorted to my MacBook Pro, and now have the same problem with this as well.
Any ideas please? What else can I check. My internet and so on are fine. The printer itself shows the wireless icon and says the reception is excellent on the printout it produced.
Thanks so much!

It would be unusual for only Bonjour to stop working in the printer. The more likely is that the printer is set to a different network subnet to that for your Mac or, as you mentioned, something like a firewall is blocking it.
The IP addressing is the most common cause. If there is a process to view or print the network settings for the Epson, then this will show what IP address range it has, which should be the same as your Mac. With the IP address, there will be four sets of numbers. For a typical home network, the first three sets are known as the IP subnet, while the last set is the network address. For example, a device with an IP address of 10.0.1.5, has an IP subnet of 10.0.1 and a network address of 5. For your Mac to 'see' the printer, both devices would need the same IP subnet, while having a different network address. So if you can check what IP address the Epson has, you may find it is using a different IP subnet to your Mac.

HP LaserJet M1212nf MFP Printer - Communication Failure with the scanner

Dear all,
May I kindly ask if there are any known resolutions in terms of a scanning issue with the HP LaserJet M1212nf MFP Printer?
When it starts scanning the printer only scans the up to the 3rd or 4th page, it stops in the middle of the sheet and produces an error message stating the following: Communication Failure with the scanner.
Are there any steps that may be followed in order to resolve the incident?
Many thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Ryan

Hi @Ryan_HP ,
I see that you are experiencing a communication error during scanning of multiple pages. I would like to help, but I will need some more information to provide you with the correct steps to resolve this issue.
If you are using Windows, download and run the Print and Scan Doctor. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?
Temporarily turn off any Antivirus Software, just to rule out any interference.
Try scanning again.
What operating system are you using?
How to Find the Windows Edition and Version on Your Computer.
Mac OS X: How Do I Find Which Mac OS X Version Is on My Computer?
How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet)
What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, any error messages)
What scanning software are you using?
Have a wonderful day!
Thank You.

MAC OSX 10.5.8 HP C7280 not printing - communication failure

I have a Mac OSX 10.5.8 , It has been wirelessly connected to mt HPC7280 for a long time and prints perfectly up until today. The queue shows "printing" for a while but nothing prints and then I get this messege:
"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."
Tried all troubleshooting on this page: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02205477&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&lc=en&product=320...
Nothing seems to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Let's reset the printing system:
- Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan
- Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
- Select the plus sign to re-add a printer. Select the Defualt tab on the top of the window. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.

HP C6380 - Print job stalls part way through

My wife and I bought a new Dell Studio 15 (Vista 64 SP1) and an HP C6380 over Christmas. We have AT&T DSL and we use the wireless 2WIRE router/modem device. When I went to install the software for the printer, the Dell just kept spitting out the cd-rom. Odd I thought. I talked to HP and they suggested I just download the installation software for 64 bit Vista. I did so and went through the installation with no problems. Test prints worked fine and I thought we were home free. Well...
About 40% of the time when we print, the printer begins to print and gets about 1/4 or 1/8 of the way through a page and then it stalls out. The print monitor on the computer gives an error message, but I can't seem to get any more details than there is an error. The printer itself just says it's printing and eventually it will just spit out the unfinished page. It often happens when printing documents that are longer than 1 page. I've seen this error mentioned in various Google searches I've done, but no one seems to know how to fix it. I think it has to do with Vista and the HP printer not getting along. I don't believe the router is the issue. Has any one any suggestions on what we might do to fix this issue? Thanks.

There have been reports of Vista not working well with older networking equipment. Here's a link to a Microsoft note on this subject.
I also have a couple of other questions:
When the printer stalls, can you ping the printer from the PC? Can you access the printer's internal web page by browsing its IP address?
How is the PC connected to your network (wired or wireless)?
Are there other wireless devices on the network besides your PC and your printer?
When the printer stalls, can you still browse the internet from your PC?

Hi Sundaresh,
Thanks for your reply.
Yes it is a network printer. User is printing to his default printer(LOCL, with host printer __DEFAULT) and we are using device type SAPWIN and access method F(printing on front end computer).

Mail to File Integration(Mail Sender Communication channel status RED)

Hi all,
I am doing Email to File Integration Scenario, XI is reading mails from an particular exchange server mail id & putting it in to a file. now all IR & ID configuration is done.
But in RuntimeW Bench -> Adapter Monitreing The Sender Mail Communication Channel is RED with error occured: exception caught during processing mail message; java.io.IOException: invalid IMAP status response; not finding * STATUS, but 00KC NO The requested item could not be found

We check the Exchange Server login Acess through TELNET ,as suggested from SAP Service marketplace
and login is successfull, with details available of Inbox
but in TENET when we try to execute the IMAP Status command error message comes
" expected space not found" .
Since XI is not able to read the inbox mail, so Sxmb_moni is blank.....
can any body suggest that this issus is related to that IMAP Status..........or some thing else..
our URL is correct.
Regards,
Ashutosh

the URL path was wrong...
it should end with .......exchange/Inbox/
the sender channel was having error RED ,but it was showing green status intially because delay update .....

Communication Channel Status Is Shwoing RedLed(Error)

Hi,
I used File Adapter in my communication channels that is FTP ... scenario is working fine.. but in the RWB- Communication Channel Monitoring the Communication cHannel is showing RedLed(ERROR Status)
The FTP server was running on UNIX.. that is Bourne Shell ... If the file is there in the source directory it was processing successfully.. even though the remaing all the time it was throwing the following Error Mesage in the RWB-Communication Channel Monitoring..
Could not process file 'SIMS-10.xml: No such file or directory': com.sap.exception.standard.SAPIllegalArgumentException: The parameter "argument" has the value "ftp://10.25.10.6:21./SIMS-10.xml: No such file or directory", so it contains the character "ftp://10.25.10.6:21./SIMS-10*.xml: No such file or directory" which is not allowed
Please Suggest me.
Regards
Jain

Hi ,
We are polling a particular FTP site for files. If file is found communication channel is showing green led with no error message, but when file is not found it is showing red led with an error message in RWB .
My concern :
1. We applied the same approach in other scenarios also , but never came across this type of situation. In other cases if file is not found, communication channel is not showing red led and error message , so this is a metter of real concern to me.
2. I believe that if communication channel is showing red led then definately alerts will get triggered for any error in adapter engine . correct me if wrong ...?
the only difference i found is the shell on which FTP site is configured...We are getting error in bourne shell but no errors in Korn shell ,,,Our XI box is on HP-UX but FTP site is on Solaris 2.8
Is it a bug In PI 7.0 ....?or Something is missing from FTP site ? or some configuration missing at configuration channel level.
Regards

Communication Channel status successful but file Not Delivered.

Hi All
I have a receiver communication channel which is showing status as SUCCESSFUL but the log says The message status was set to NDLV. Due to which am unable to retrigger it even form Message Monitoring
Its set to FTP & is not received at that side.
Kindly put in your inputs on the possible solution for this issue.
Regards
Soumen!!!

I dont think it is held in queue.....you will get an error (the one which you got) and then the message will go into Error state.
When the channels are stopped and it receives a file it raises an error alert and is set to error state. Later when channel is started the file gets processed(You can try doing it.I did). Here it gave the error message but sets the channel to successful. Thats what is botehring me.
Looks like you are scheduling the receiver channel....why?
Had some requirement...
@ Balaji : Its successful

Hi luke, I tried your script. However, it seems that once in a while srvnet crashes during the restart. Can you help me on this? Chris
Hi Chris
Not sure why that would be but - you could add some error-checking logic to the script to test whether srvnet has successfully started, and then if it hasn't - attempt to restart it again. I haven't tested this code because I haven't had that issue, but something
along the lines of:
@echo off
set logfile="%TMP%\srvlog.txt"
if exist %logfile% goto begin
echo [%date:~4,10% %time%] logfile created>%logfile%
:begin
echo -->>%logfile%
echo [%date:~4,10% %time%] srvnet check triggered>>%logfile%
openfiles /Query 2>NUL | FIND /C "INFO: No shared open files found" >NUL
if errorlevel 1 goto yes_opens
echo [%date:~4,10% %time%] no open files, proceeding to check for srvnet driver block>>%logfile%
powercfg -requests | find /C "[DRIVER] \FileSystem\srvnet" >NUL
if errorlevel 1 goto no_srvnet_block
echo [%date:~4,10% %time%] **block detected, restarting srv**>>%logfile%
net stop /y srv >NUL 2>NUL
ping -n 5 -w 1000 127.0.0.1>NUL
sc query srv | find "RUNNING" >NUL 2>&1
if errorlevel 1 goto SrvNotRunning
goto :eof
:SrvNotRunning
echo [%date:~4,10% %time%] **srv did not autostart, attempting manual start**>>%logfile%
set cnt=0
:wait1
if %cnt% GEQ 5 goto SrvCantStart
set /A cnt+=1
echo [%date:~4,10% %time%] **waiting for SRV service to start [%cnt%]**>>%logfile%
sc start srv >NUL 2>&1
ping -n 2 -w 1000 127.0.0.1>NUL
sc query srv | find "RUNNING" >NUL 2>&1
if errorlevel 1 goto wait1
echo [%date:~4,10% %time%] **SRV service is now running**>>%logfile%
goto :eof
:SrvCantStart
echo [%date:~4,10% %time%] **Tried 5 times to start SRV but failed**>>%logfile%
goto :eof
:yes_opens
echo [%date:~4,10% %time%] open files detected, not restarting srv>>%logfile%
goto :eof
:no_srvnet_block
echo [%date:~4,10% %time%] no srvnet block detected, not restarting srv>>%logfile%
goto :eof
Let me know if that works better for you!
