How do you fix the no communication issue between the computer and printer? -

I can t print at all. I tried reinstalling softwares, plugging the cables in different USB ports, yet nothing happens. The cables are working fine, because for some odd reason, my first printer still manages to scan pictures, ruling out the damaged cable part. In add, when I hit print.... My first printer gives me the message that the computer can t communicate with the printer. The second printer, when looking at the printing process screen, shows that the job is printing, yet the printer sits still, which is aggravating, lol. Any help would be appreciated.

must be running vista. Do this, unplug the printer usb. Turn the printer off. Plug in the usb, turn on the printer. Do you hear a beep. You may have to reinstall the driver disc again.

Do what Dana V said, but also unplug the printer from power outlet for a few minutes. Then plug back in when the driver software tells you to do it. Good luck

go to Control Panel open printers. right click on your printer icon. menu will drop. choose quot;properties.quot; and left click window box will open. click on tab that says quot;portsquot; take check mark out of LTP box. scroll down to USB box and put check mark in there. hit quot;applyquot; or quot;OKquot; reboot
