Printer Communication Not Available error
I get a "communication not available" error whenever I try to print to my
printer which is connected via USB. I have tried disabling the firewall
(Norton), turning off auto-protect (norton), unplugging printer from
computer, unplugging printer from power, and re-installing. Nothing seems to
work. Anyone have any suggestions?

Re: Printer Communication Not Available error
And the make and model of printer is.......?

Do other USB devices all work OK?

Have you tried another USB cable?

Re: Printer Communication Not Available error
I tried another USB cable and different ports. All of the ports work fine
with other USB equipment.

I have a Dell A962 All-in-one printer. I even downloaded the latest drivers
from their website. They are baffled also.
