Spartan 3E with Labview 2012 (32 bit) on WIndows 7 64-bit - Error Code: -310602 NI-COBS: Unable to communicate with device over communication cable.

Thanks for the info, Kyle.  I will probably try to find an older 32-bit XP machine.  VM is just not an option for me right now.

Hello everybody,
I am trying to use the DIgilent Spartan 3E board with Labvew 2012 SP1 32 bit.  I am able to compile the example code for LED shift.  I am however unable to transfer code to the FPGA.  I get the following error message:
Error Code: -310602 
NI-COBS:  Unable to communicate with device over communication cable. 
Please verify that the cable is connected to a supported device and that the appropriate drivers are installed.
My system configuration is as follows:
Windows 7 (64 bit) on Dell XPS laptop.
Labview 2012 SP1 (32 bit)
Labview FPGA 2012 SP1
Labview 2012 FPGA support for Spartan3E
Xilinx 13.4 tools
DEFB LV FPGA 2012sp1 support installer
Xilinx USB cable driver v1.3 installed.
I took all the precautions mentioned by others on this forum and others, mainly that the cable must be disconnected before installing the Xilinx cable driver. All software and drivers were installed correctly.  I even uninstalled and reinstalled the entire Labview software set I had.  I still get the same error.
A few other questions:
1.  Is the Xilinx cable different from a regular USB cable of the same configuration ?
2.  When I program the FPGA I only have the USB cable connected between my computer and the Spartan 3e board.  Should any other cable be connected ?
3.  What should be the correct jumper settings for J1 - JP30 (especially J30, J11, JP9, JP6, JP7, etc) ?
I have been at this or over 3 days trying to figure it out.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  • When Trying to Install Labview 8.6.1 on Windows 7 Get Error Code -12

    When Trying to Install Labview Deveopment Suite 8.6.1 on Windows 7 Get " *** Error: Windows SDK Function Returned an Error (Error Code -12)"
    I assume a compatability issue will Labview installer and Windows 7.  Is there a work arround?

    I figured as much, but maybe if enough peole are interested NI will be pushed to a solution.
    It's not that the programm won't run, it's that the installer fails before it even gets installed.
    I am using Windows 7 RC Build 7100.  It installs and runs just fine in Virtual XP Mode on Virtual PC for windows 7 (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx) which I find works better than compatability mode.
    Thanks for your help.

  • UNABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH PRINTER error message

    When I try and print a document, I keep getting this error message on my screen:  UNABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH PRINTER.  And the printer will not print.  So, I open the ink cartridge door and then close it, and then the printer prints!   How do I fix my printer or its settings so I do not have to keep doing this in order for the printer to print normally? Also, the printer is connected with a USB cable.

    I finally solved it.  Reflecting back on previous message boards I decided to try one last time.  Some posters have found the problem in the Antivirus, Firewall protections.  (By the way, I had even upgraded my router with no luck).I have Norton AntiVirus provided by the cable company.1. I turned off everything in the firewall.  Although this left me vulnerable for a few mintues, I needed a fast test.2. It worked!  I was able to print something immediately.3. I went back into the firewall, turned everything back on but turned off an individual switch within the firewall that said to "share the printer. "4. After turning it off, I was able to print and still have the most important parts of the firewall.This ultimately met my needs.Perhaps HP could:1. Do a better job at beta testing prior to release, including various brands of firewalls.  Is there even a beta test process?2. Provide a better description of the error since all indicators within the drivers say the printer is connected.  There should be a message indicating that it's connected but unable to print due to firewall protections.  

  • M175nw during s/w reinstall - unable to communicate with product

    Windows 7 64-bit / LaserJet 100 MFP M175nw / firmware 20120806 / all device resets done / software uninstalled after broadband hub replaced / re-install undertaken with McAfee firewall OFF / install undertaken with D-Link hub firewall also OFF
    Software starts reinstall, proceeds and then asks for USB to be temporarily connected - after doing so it automatically proceeds (thus indicating that it's communicating OK with M175nw) - says "Product has been detected" - WIndows 7 reports "device installed" - then install stops at 15% completion and says "Unable to communicate with product".
    Can find no way past this.
    Was working beautifully but could not avoid hub upgrade which had to disrupt setup hence re-install.
    HELP!

    Hi @MonicaABC ,
    I see that you are having issues the same issue with the printer installation, but you are on Windows 8.
    I would like to help you out today.
    Some of the steps are the same, I will provide more information for the Windows 8 steps.
    I have also provided steps for configuring the wireless through the ethernet connection.
    On the printer's control panel, touch the setup button, network setup menu, wireless direct, turn it on.
    Here is a document to access the Wireless on Windows 8. How to Connect to Wireless Networks in Windows 8 and Windows 8.1.
    Select the printer's network name.
    Open Internet Explorer and type in the IP address (192.168.223.1) for the printer in the address bar.
    This will load the Embedded Web Server for the printer.
    Select the networking tab, wireless on the left hand side.
    Fill out all your network information, select infrastructure, select your network name, put in password and type of encryption.
    Apply settings.
    Now the printer should be configured over the wireless network.
    Then go to the wireless on the computer and select your network name.
    Run the uninstall from the CD software to remove any registry files.
    Disconnect the USB cable if it is connected.
    Perform a clean boot and disable any Antivirus Software temporarily.
    Then run the latest drivers. Software & Drivers.
    Select your operating system, click next and click on the software to download and install.
    Wireless setup steps through a Ethernet connection steps:
    Connect the Ethernet cable from the printer to the router, temporarily.
    Run the install to see if the drivers will fully install by this connection.
    Follow these steps to configure the wireless now.
    Wait about a minute, print the configuration page to see if you get a IP address.
    Printing a Configuration Report.
    Then type the IP address into Internet Explorer's address bar to bring up the printer's web page. Select the networking tab, wireless on the left hand side. Fill out all your network information, select infrastructure, select your network name, put in password and type of encryption. Apply settings.
    Then disconnect the Ethernet cable.
    Wait for few minutes and you should get a wireless light on the printer, print the configuration page and check the IP address again. Then type the IP address into Internet Explorer's address bar to bring up the printer's web page. Just to make sure it is still on the network.
    Then flip the port with the new IP address.
    Go to start, devices and printers, right click the printer and left click printer properties, select the ports tab.
    Click Add Port, select Standard TCP/IP Port, then select New Port and follow the wizard.
    Type in the proper IP address for the printer.
    Make sure the printer is online.
    Test the printer.
    If you need further assistance, just let me know.
    Have a great day!
    Thank You.

  • Unable to Communicate With Printer error

    I have an HP Office Pro  8600 Plus that is connected wirelessly.  After I start the computer, I can print fine for a day, but when I try to print the next day, I get the error message 'Unable to Communicate With Printer'.  I am running Windows XP 32 bit on a Dell computer.  I have changed the settings on the network card to not power down and the computer to not shut off the disks to try to fix the problem, but the problem is still here.  If I reboot, I can print again.
    I run Norton antivirus.
    I have another HP printer connected by a network cable and that printer works fine.  I have a Canon MG printer connected wirelessly that experiences the same issue of unable to communicate.
    I can ping both wireless devices (192.168.1.74 and 192.168.1.73) even though I cannot print to them.
    Thanks,
    Andrew 

    Try setting the printer to a static IP like 192.168.1.10.  Change your routers wireless channel to a fixed channel like 1,6 or 11 not auto.  Now try.

  • 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.

  • HP Officejet 6700 "unable to communicate with printer".

    Before I left on vacation, the wireless printer was working fine.  Now I get this error message.  I have disconnected and reconnected everything.  I have run the diagnostic tests and the wireless network checks out fine.  I have tried everything in the troubleshooting guide to no avail.  I think it's probably a setting somewhere, but I can't figure out where.  Help!!!!

    I have the same problem with an HP OfficeJet 8600 Plus.
    It worked last week, this week it gives "Unable to communicate with printer" on both of our PCs (XP, Vista).
    I have tried all of these:
    Rebooting router
    Rebooting printer (5 times)
    Rerunning the wireless setup wizard on the printer (3 times).
    Start menu > HP OfficeJet  Pro 8600 > Update IP Address (3 times)
    Download & run latest HP Print and Scan Doctor (connected via USB cable) (once)
    On the print & scan doctor, it gave no errors or warnings, and appears to have completed successfully. Nonetheless when I clicked on 'print test page' from within the HP Print and Scan doctor, I still get the "Unable to Communicate with Printer" popup box.
    On the 'HP Hardware DIagnostic Utility 3.1 "Wizard" tab, Connectivity and Device Status bogh gave green checks, and, the 'Print Test' WAS SUCCESSFUL in printing a page from within that utility. Hardware DIagnostic Utility 3.1 completed with all tests marked successful. All other printing still fails, e.g. regular printing and Windows 'Print Test Page' still fails with the Unable to Communicate with Printer error.
    The HP Hardware Diagnostic Utility 3.1 'Printer Data' tab says I am running Firmware Version CLP1CN1232AR, Born On Date 10/3/2012, Software Version 25.0.169.0, Printer Driver Version 06.64.00.994.
    My printer is less than 1 year old -- has it died/shoud I start up the warranty process, or is there something yet to try?

  • Laptop unable to 'communicate' with hp 3050a printer wirelessly

    laptop unable to 'communicate' with hp 3050a printer wirelessly, could it be the virgin superhub? (been on the phone to Virgin for an hour they said not their problem) i can eprint and print  using a usb cable. Printer displays 'connected' message.
    OS windows 7 64 bit. Tried uninstalling etc, 11 hours on still no joy!

    Hi,
    Did you try HP Auto Wireless Connect?
    1. Restore network defaults from the printer front panel. Wireless>Wireless Settings>Restore Network Defaults.
    2. Download the printer software, http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=al-93470-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...
    3. Before you run the sofware, make sure you computer is wirelessly connected to the Virgin and that the connection is a saved profile(automatically connects). You can check this in the Manage Wireless Networks section of the Windows Network and Sharing Center.
    4. Run the software and select the Wireless connection option.
    5. Select Yes to run HP Auto Wireless Connect.

    I have the same problem, and while I can 'fix' it with the approach described here, I have to 'fix' it that way EVERY TIME I launch itunes.  I suppose the lousy support for mainstream computers is apple's way of saying, 'well of course you can't use your phone, you're not living in a (TM) apple home (TM) please sell your existing home and purchase one from apple if you want your phone to work.'  I never would have imagined that as a computer programmer it would be a multi-hour/failed installation process to get iTunes and the iPhone4 working properly.  What a joke.

  • Fax from PC: unable to communicate with the device.

    Hi,
    Im facing this issue where i am unable to send fax through my PC.
    Some info:
    Device: laserjet CM1415fnw
    IP address for laserjet: 192.168.1.250
    subnet: 255.255.255.0
    gateway: 192.168.1.254
    OS: winvista
    antivirus: using AVG free edition 2012
    both my print drivers and fax drivers are using the same network port which i set manually by creating a tcp/ip port (192.168.1.250).
    I am able to communicate with printer to print, scan but not fax.
    When i chose the fax driver to print to, it will send the job, and then display the error:
    Unable to communicate with the device.
    The device may be disconnected, powered off, or its network settings may have changed.
    I tried to install using the drivers downloaded from HP and it created a "HP Fax Port" which i tried changing the port to use this instead, still same error.
    A command ping to the ip 192.168.1.250 is getting response.
    Anyone have any idea? Or could the AV blocking the drivers from communicating to the printer?

    Hi AWI,
    I am sorry to hear that you are having issues faxing. I would like some more information from you so I can look further into this issue for you.
    Could you respond to me with this info:
    Are you able to fax from your printer, stand-alone?
    What model of printer do you have?
    Are you running Windows or Mac?
    Have you printed a Fax Test? If yes, does it pass or fail on anything?
    Look forward to hearing from you!

  • 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!

If someone doesn't make the simple effort to take 5 minutes to perform a search what does that say? The issue being raised has come up, literally, dozens of times. Do you like answering the same question over and over and over and over and over again?
    Second, my feelings are not unique. You will find that the irritation of people not bothering to do a simple search is shared by most of the regulars here. Why do you think search engines are available? Just so that ads can be sold?
    Third, posting the SAME question in multiple threads is self-defeating. People who try to answer don't know what's already been suggested, and end up wasting their time as well as the poster's time in providing the SAME answer and/or suggestions that were provided in the other thread. 
    Fourth, simple forum netiquette. In both threads the poster essentially hijacked someone else's thread. This is frowned upon in just about every forum that I've ever seen.
