My computer will not communicate with my printer?

ok, there are still some other things to try. you still may need a usb hub to supply extra power, but we'll try to hold off on that until after we've tried some other things. 1st. are you using windows XP, or Vista? 2nd. are all the windows updates up to date? (visit http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and do all the custom updates as well.) 3rd. double check the device manager settings and reinstall the USB Controller. how to #3 in XP. plug your printer in and power it on. open the control panel and switch to classic view if you haven't already done so. open "System" click on the "hardware" tab. click on "Device manager" note anything with a yellow or red exclamation mark and post it. go all the way down and expand the USB (universal serial bus controllers) section. delete all universal host controllers. **note (if you are using a usb keyboard and mouse, they will stop working, restarting the computer will fix this and reinstall all the root hubs as well)

It just won't print! Ahan, There are some solutions regarding the problem: 1. Change your data cable (between cpu and printer). It might have gone burnt or torn. 2. If no result, check out the seals in the cartridge side. You might haven't removed them. 3. If no result, check for some updates for the driver. 4. If no result, then get your OS re-installed.
