Printer Not Communicating Properly With Computer

Aug 13, 2005

I have Windows XP Professional with SP2. I have 1 GB of RAM and a Pentium 4 running at 2.81 GHz. Things were working AOK until I ran several anti-virus programs being Registry Mechanic, SpyBot, Ad-Aware SE, PestPatrol, & a trial version of Webroot Spy Sweeper. I seemed to start having printing problems (Epson Stylus Photo RX600) after running those. Documents start to print, but only print the first line or two of the document and in color and black and sometimes "garbage" and then it scrolls through and starts on another sheet of paper and so on and so forth. It doesn't stop, so I access my printer monitor and tell it to cancel all documents. Well, it takes forever to do that and so I shut off the printer and then everything seemed to stop printing. The next time I try to print something, I get the same problem. I even downloaded updated Epson printer software from the Epson site and installed it after deleting my old Epson printer software

New Computer Communicating With LCD Monitor On Startup

Aug 13, 2006

I have a new emachnies T6528 computer hooked up to a "Balance digital technology" 17" LCD monitor.If I go to start, shutdown, and then restart, the computer will restart fine again and again. However, if I go to start, shutdown, and "turn off" and shut the computer completely down, then hit the computer power button to start the computer a few hours later or the next day, the monitor says there is no signal. I tried turning the monitor power button on and off. I also tried moving my mouse. The computer does not seem to start or do anything and the only way to turn it off is to cut the power by unpluging it or turning off the switch at the surge protector. Just pushing the computer power button will not turn off the computer when this happens.I checked the cable connections and they are good. For some reason, after cutting the power and turning on the computer again a second time, it works. I have been through the scenaro several times and it works the same way each time.

Shared Printer Via Network Shown Error Of Install Driver

Nov 29, 2008

Brief synopsis:I recently did a new Windows XP install (after a crash). Now I cannot get my printer to install. The printer is a SHARED printer (HP Deskjet F380) on another machine on the network. The printer was previous installed on this machine before the crash and reinstall of WinXP.After nearly 2 hours on the phone w/ HP support, it's been determined (by HP support) that somewhere in the XP install, a missing XP driver is keeping this install from properly allowing any printers to be installed. The printer will 'appear' to be installed, but any attempt to print brings an error saying printer drivers aren't properly installed.

Issue Connecting Printer With Two Printer At Same Time

Mar 14, 2009

Two custom PCs with XP Pro at same SP level. PC1 sees printer through switch. PC2 can not see printer. PC2 connects and sees printer when I cable the USB DIRECTLY to the printer instead of going thru a switch. Therefore, I know PC2 can print. Have tried 2 different switches. An A/B data switch and Belkin's 4x1 USB Peripheral Switch F1U401. PC1 works with both switches but PC2 does not.

Cannot Change Printer TCP/IP Port Or Add New Printer

Jun 3, 2009

We've had to change our address space and therefore the printer address has changed. I've changed the address on all but one computer. On this particular computer when I try to edit the TCP/IP port I get the message:

"An error occurred during port configuration. Access is denied."

If I try to create a new port I can select that I want it to be a Standard TCP/IP Port and then it tells me:

"Specified port cannot be added. Access is denied."

Printer Problems With SP2 And Network Printer Unless Lo..

Aug 17, 2005

I have connected 3 new PC's on a P2P network, and connected a HP 4610 Color Laser Printer via a JetDirect 175 print server. On one PC, I can only print from the Administrator account. The other 2 computers work fine. On the one that is having issues, when printing a test page I receive a "Failed to Print" error mesage, and looking in the printer jobs menu, it shows that there was an error printing. The
Administrator account can print fine from this machine.

The user accounts are "restricted user" accounts on all 3 computers.
All 3 computers are exactly the same type, and all have the latest

Printer Spooler Won't Stay On - Printer Spooler Service

Mar 10, 2008

I'm a tech at a college and am working on this computer that the printer spooler service won't stay started.You start up the machine and go to printers and faxes. There are none listed (of course cause the spooler isn't running) You click on add printer and it tells you that the service isn't running. So you go to run services.msc, printer spooler says it's stopped so you start it. It will then run until you try to print something or go to printers and faxes in the control panel. Basically as soon as you open the window the printer spooler service stops.Does anyone know a fix for this. Last time it happened one of my co-workers found a tool to fix it but we haven't been able to find it since and all the researching I have done leads me nowhere

Printer Compatibility With XP

Jul 2, 2005

I have an OfficeJet 710, when I load something to scan, fax or copy the Document Manager box does not come up. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall the printer but that doesn't help. I think my problem may be that when my computer was upgraded to Windows XP, they didn't include my printer therefore, it isn't compatible with my system.I can still copy, fax and print, but, only from the printer itself. Not from the Document Manager.

Two Printer Don't Work

Nov 17, 2007

I did a "clean" install of Windows XP Pro Version 2002 SP2, replacing the corrupted OEM XP Home version installed by CompUSA. Since then, my two printers don't work. One is a Brother HL-1440 laser printer, the other an HP officejet 6110 all-in-one. I reinstalled the drivers for both, even went online and downloaded the most recent version of the 1440 driver. No joy. Clearly, I've done something wrong, but what?

COMPUTER: HP Pavilion 7935
AMD Athlon processor

You never know how much you need your printers until the day you can't print.

XP SP2 Is Not Detecting Any New Printer Attached

Jun 20, 2005

My XP SP2 is not detecting any new printer attached. Both parallel and USB ports are not being detected. When I connect the printer and reboot, its like nothing at all has happened. The PC sits there finished booting, calm and quiet. They were being detected and installed some time ago. I suspect it might be a window corruption.. or some registry problem. Is there any way to refresh the windows registery so that it will start picking up printers again? Other devices like memory stick, external hard disk etc. are being picked up and working fine with USB
