Every time I try to print a screen comes up that says communication problem, I have checked everything and I cannot get it to print please

Hi

It might be the print spooler service locked up. Try to stop and restart again.

Go to START MENU
Choose Commamd prompt, right click mouse and run as administrator (You should be in this command C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32- If not type this command when you in the dos command prompt "CHDIR C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEMS32\ and press enter")
Type the letter "cmd"
Type the word "net stop spooler"
Exit
Go to C: drive
Choose to Windows Folder
Click show content
Choose system32 folder
Choose spool folder
Choose printer
And delete any printing jobs pending
Again go back to CMD window and type the word "net start spooler"
Restart your computer and must also turn off your printer and then switch it on.
It will work fine right now
I hope it helps you

Regards and thank you for using Fixya !

this usually happens if there is a misconfiguration in the printer settings.
make sure that the bidirectioinal mode is set. you can check it in START > CONTROL PANEL > then look for the PRINTERS folder > right click on the printer and choose PROPERTIES > go to the PORTS tab and put a check on the BIDIRECTIONAL SUPPORT. You should be good to go. Otherwise uninstall and reinstall the Printer Driver.

Check the power cables and try plugging the printer into a different USB port and reinstall it completely from the beginning. It's probably just a driver error.

This can be a number of reasons, but first check to see if you printer is online. Attempt to print a test page. Instead of PrtScreen, highlight everything on the screen, right click, print and in the printer options print "selection". Try to reboot you computer, if everything in cue starts to print, it's operating system based, if it doesn't it's your printer perhaps. Too many variables to diagnose on a comment board.

I used to have a Dell all-in-one and had same problem.
I asked Dell for new installation disc and re-installed it and that seemed to to solve the problem.

my printer is not doing anything. It pops up " cannot communicate with printer." please tell me what I can do. I have tried everything I know.

printer screen shows cover open but it is,none buttons will work

your problem must be not selecting the right printer...
find your printer in that drop down menu (i.e: in my pc is the 692c) and then accept everything else..

Please print a test page from the All-in-One front panel menu :

1. Press Setup on the All-in-One and press arrow keys to select Print report menu and then Press Ok.
2. Then press Ok again to print a test page from the All-in-One.

Check all the colors printed perfectly. Please let me know whether you are able print documents or not. Let me know from which application you are trying to print pictures.
