Receiving printer not responding on computer screen. Unplugged, reinstalled wi-fi printer...nothing.

Cannot get printer to respond. One computer will print, the other gets printer not responding message.
We have reinstalled the printer, unplugged everything to no avail. Anybody have a solution?

PRINTER NOT RESPONDING TO COMPUTER COMMAND

I had just printed a color photo sent to me via e-mail. A few minutes later, I attempted to print a Word document and nothing happened. The printer did not respond at all.

Please read this post then provide some details. What printer model? What operating system? How is the printer connected - USB, wired LAN, Wireless LAN, bluetooth? Are there any error messages on the printer or computer screen?
If you are using Windows the diagnostics at http://www.hp.com/go/tools may help resolve the issue.

Printer not responding message

My computer no longer works with my printer. I have a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.9.2 and a HP C 6280. Original problem started today when I tried to print, intial indication was normal but after a minute or so computer print info shows "printer not responding" message. Printer is plugged in, works as a copier and I printed a HP Network Configuration Page from the printer itself. I followed instructions on the forum and took the printer away System Preferences>Printers Scanners> Delete and when I tried to reinstall the printer it's not finding it. Looking online it seems the printer should appear as an option when I click the plus on Printer Scanners page I get an ADD screen but the printer isn't listed there either and I can't add it. IP address typed in Browser window doesn't find anything but I don't know how to fix that. I am using a Cable set up and the printer is hooked up via ethernet cable to the modem. This printer has worked fine till now I would certainly appreciate any help getting it back online. Thank You

Hi di757,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I see that you can't get your printer back online with an Ethernet connection.
I would recommend to try and power off the Mac, turn off the printer, unplug the router for 30 seconds, plug the router back in, turn the printer back on, then turn the Mac back on. After that unplug the Ethernet cable from both ends and plug it back in.
Then I would try to follow this guide. OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac.
Hope this helps, and have a great day.

HP Laserjet 1300 "printer not responding"

I have a G5 tower, with Tiger and am printing to an HP Laserjet 1300. I often get the message: "printer not responding". If I turn the printer off and on, it works. any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm connected through usb.

Is your printer connected through a hub or directly to the computer?

Lexmark Optra T610: "Printer Not Responding"

Right. Where to start. Just got a new PB G4 17". Used to have a titanium G4 15" running 10.1 through 10.3. Now running 10.4.3 on this new 'book. I have a Lexmark Optra T610 with the USB option, which used to function just fine on the old computer but which is now making me want to toss gasoline and a lighted match on it. Basically, all the necessary software has been installed and the correct (ie, working) cable has been connected. The Printer Setup Utility sees and recognizes the printer, and I can select it in all the print dialogs, as well as change various settings such as resolution. However, when I press Print and the computer does its thing and sends the file to the printer, I get an error message saying "Printer Not Responding". This is driving me nuts and I can't find any word of this anywhere (mind you, I haven't come to the "end" of the internet yet, so maybe the answer is actually out there somewhere). And yes, I have tried doing strange things, such as deleting PPDs and preferences and so forth. I've also gone through all the menus on the printer until it's obvious I'm going in circles. It's like the printer has turned into a feline that simply ignores its master. GRRRR!!!! Thanks for any help you can provide. --Pete

I have had exactly the same problem from my iBook. Until I upgraded to Tiger all I had to do was plug in the USB cable and print. Now I get the "Printer Not Responding" message. I install the latest print driver for OS 10.4 from Lexmark and the computer lists the printer in the print dialog box.
I spoke with Apple tech support and he suggested resetting the printing system after reviewing what else I had done. Noting had worked and neither did this. The only other thing he could suggest was to contact Lexmark, if that didn't work he said we would have to try an archive and reinstall.
I really hope someone has a more constructive suggestion.
Thanks,
Edward

PIXMA MG5420 Printer not responding

I set this printer up when i got it back in june it worked wireless in the hotel I was in. Now I am in another hotel and I get a printer not responding message. I plugged in USB cord and still get the message, print preview shows that printer is ready. When I first hit the print button a new driver was downloading. Any help would be greatly appreciated ! Thanx Steve
"Sleazy1369" canon PIXMA MG5420

Hi sleazy1369, we're glad to help.
There are a few possible causes of printing error occurring under a wireless or USB connection. If the driver was downloading when pressing the print button, an interruption in the process and ability to print could occur. However, please remove any print jobs that may be pending in the print queue, disconnect the USB cable (if still connected) and shut down both your computer and multifunction printer for 10 mins.
If you prefer to print wirelessly, please use the following link to Article: "Printer not responding (Wireless LAN)- MG5420 / MG5422" on the Canon USA product page for your product. Thee steps provided can be helpful in resolving the issue.
Once reaching the website, just enter the Article name in the FAQ Search box and press "Search" to retrieve the information.
However, if the issue remains or further assistance is needed, please feel free to Contact Us and we'll be happy to help you further.

Canon pixma mx850 printer not reading my computer - will not print

canon pixma mx850 printer not reading my computer - will not print
I unplugged the cord that went from the printer to the computer to another canon printer to see if I could remediate a problem with a wireless printer.
When I plugged the computer cord back into the usual computer, the printer is no longer talking to the computer even though I have gone in and changed back the settings, and it has been the default printer - that was not changed.
I've tried all the trouble-shooting suggestions to no avail.

Hi scheideckerj,
Reinstalling the latest drivers for the printer from the Canon USA website may resolve the issue you are experiencing. Please click here to go to the Drivers and Software page for the PIXMA MX850. Once on the download page, please do the following:
1. Verify that the operating system detected in the "OPERATING SYSTEM" drop-down menu is correct, and if it is not, please click the drop-down menu to select your operating system.
2. Next, please click on the red arrow next to the "DRIVERS" section and click on the MP DRIVERS file. When you do, a red DOWNLOAD button will appear. Please click on the checkbox below the DOWNLOAD button, then click the red DOWNLOAD button to begin the download. The time for the download process may vary depending on the speed of your Internet connection and the size of the file being downloaded.
Once the file is downloaded, please double-click on it to reinstall the printer drivers on your computer.
Hope this helps!

I am trying to connect a Macbook Pro to a projector for a Powerpoint presentation. When I use a VGA cable, the color of the projected images are not good. When I use a USB cable, the projected image includes the presenter notes on my computer screen?

To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
and select the Library that you moved. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
Your first option didn't work because you imported one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
Your second option didn't work because you simply referenced her library on the old machine.

Network printer not responding

Hello
When I try to print from my MacBook to my Canon network printer, I get the error message "printer not responding", even the printer works fine with both windows notebooks connected to the same WLAN.
I have a Canon MF8540Cdn printer connected with Ethernet to my router. The printer has the ip address 10.1.1.10, the gateway is 10.1.1.1 (Router IP) and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
Then I have three notebooks, one MacBook (IP 10.1.1.101) and two windows notebooks (a HP notebook (IP 10.1.1.102) and a Lenovo notebook (IP 10.1.1.103)). All three notebooks are connected wo the same WLAN using enterprise encryption.
The two windows notebooks can print to the canon printer perfectly fine and have not havd any issues at all.
However, from the MacBook I can not print since the upgrade to OSX 10.9.1 Mavericks. I have the latest update from Mavericks.
So, I deleted the printer (settings - printer) and resetted the printing system and deleted the printer also in the folder "Library - Printers". Then I got the latest driver (version 10.2) from Canon and installed the driver (dmg file).
Next I added the printer in the in the settings as follows:
1. Hit the "+" buttton to add a printer
2. Select "IP"
3. enter the ip address of the printer (10.1.1.10)
4. Select "Line printer daemon"
5. The system automatically detected the printer "MF8500 Series" and filled in the location.
6. Add the printer
When I open the printer options now, I can see the toner levels corretly, so the MacBook must have connection to the printer.
In addition, I can open the printer web address in Safary by going to http://10.1.1.10 , this also works fine and I can modify settings too. So the IP connection is also fine here.
But, when I print a document, PDF, Word, Safari,..., the system firs report "connecting to the printer" and after a while it states "printer not responding"!
The printer seems not to get any info, as it does not start or show any error message.
However, the two windows notebooks can print fine, and I tried to print from windows, then directly after print from the MacBook, or first MacBook then windows or both allone, wait 1 hour print from MacBook, then wait one hour and print from Windows.
The result is always the same. The windows print fine, the MacBook does not print and reports printer not responding.
If I check the log file on the MacBook, it shows the time and the job number and then printer not responding.
Meanwhilte I deleted the printer aleready a couple times and also reinstalled the printer driver from Canon. On the Canon cummunity I also submitted a ticket, but everybody responded that the driver works perfectly fine.
Any idea, where the problem could be?
Thanks for any help,
Rolly

Select "Line printer daemon"
Why are you doing that? When you select the printer in the Add dialog, the driver should be entered automatically. Does that not happen?

Updated iphone 5 to iOS 6.1.3, now trouble with keyboard not responding correctly and screen zooming in by itself...

updated iphone 5 to iOS 6.1.3, now I am having trouble with keyboard not responding correctly and screen zooming in by itself...
Buttons pressing themself...
Also, my main screen is permanently zoomed in...
suggestions?

Double tap the screen with THREE fingers, that should get it back to normal again.
Then go into Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom > OFF.
Not too sure about the keyboard and random button presses though. Back it up and restore from iTunes, see if that fixes it.

CS4 "Printer Not Responding"

Hi, I successfully printed a doc from CS4 with my canon ip4300 printer, seconds later another would not print. The printer dialogue says "printer not responding".
After re-start got message "unrecognised USB device" , so I uninstalled then re-installed the printer.
I can now print from Notepad and Lightroom but if I try to print from Photoshop CS4 I still get message "printer not responding".
Seems to be a photoshop problem rather than a printer problem, any ideas??
