Communication Not Available - Dell V305 All In One Printer
socks wrote:
Lem, Good news. The printer works now. When I checke FilesServer Properties & clicke the driver tab, the V305 driver is listed. However, there were two other drivers there previous. One I think said fax & the other I can't remember. I used the cd to install the printer. What about those two other drivers? If things are working OK, leave that list of drivers alone. Files Server Properties Drivers lists *all* the drivers that are currently installed. You shouldn't normally see an entry for "fax" there, but extra drivers shouldn't hurt anything. -- Lem Apollo 11 - 40 years ago: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/ap...0th/index.html |

Communication Not Available - Dell V305 All In One Printer
What I meant is that when I uninstalled the printer & went to Server
Properties & clicked Drivers, I deleted the 3 printer drivers there. When I reinstalled the printer, & checked Server Properties, under Drivers only one was listed: Dell V305. Could there be a problem here since there is the one driver listed only? -- john "Lem" wrote: socks wrote: Lem, Good news. The printer works now.

You'll know if there's a problem ... some printer won't print. If you don't have any printers installed now other than the V305, don't worry about it. If you do have another printer(s), you'll have to reinstall the driver(s) in order for them to print. -- Lem Apollo 11 - 40 years ago: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/ap...0th/index.html |

Communication Not Available - Dell V305 All In One Printer
Lem,
Thank you very much for all of your help. I'm irritated at the Dell tech who kept saying it was a software problem & had to pay $79. I suggested we uninstall the printer but he said no that wouldn't help. Ahain thank you. -- john "Lem" wrote: socks wrote: What I meant is that when I uninstalled the printer & went to Server Properties & clicked Drivers, I deleted the 3 printer drivers there.

Communication Not Available - Dell V305 All In One Printer
I have a question when you got your printer back online did it start printing massive test pages? I have the same printer and just reinstalled my printer, because it kept telling me no communication between my Windows Vista 64 bit and V305 printer. I also have gone thru massive ink over this issue. It keeps telling me that the tape is still on them, which is nto the case. I want to disable the print a test page but have not figured out how to any ideas? -- myount71 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ myount71's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/184986.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/xp-print-fax/1284177.htm http://forums.techarena.in |
