It is 2022. I have just spent the last three hours doing everything under the sun to make my printer print. It seemed to have a disconnect between computer and printer. I did all the Epson recommendations, did maintenance, replaced an ink cartridge, pulled my hair out, wept on the floor. THEN I found this video and IT WORKED, even though the Epson whatever was supposed to have done something with the spooling about 2 hours ago! You have saved the life of my printer! It was about to be beaten to shrapnel with a hammer any time now, just like I did with the last one!
It worked! You ROCK! This is the first time I've had this problem and wondering what caused it to happen. Unfortunately, Windows provides no error codes or anything to identify the problem...I didn't know where to start. Almost 9 years after you posted the video and still helping your community. THANKS.
Great video. Instructions well explained. I've been trying for days; frustrated. It's such a blessing when we find people that care and bless other by helping. Thank you so much!!! I am a very happy camper!!
Thank you! I've been frustrated for months. All I've been able to do is turn my printer off and on again, and if I'm lucky, I'll be able to print. I've seen so many videos, but yours was the best. So simple! Thank you!
For the second time in two weeks, your helpful video saved my skin!! I have written the instructions and posted on my desk. Thank you for making this a simple fix!!!
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I had been trying to fix my printer for the past couple of days. Even thought about getting another one, which I could not afford right now! It was working about 2 months ago and stopped. With your step-by-step EASY instructions (which I wrote down for future help) that were GREAT! Now I'm back in business! You are AWESOME!!!!
I've had a couple of HP printers. After a while they stop working: Problems with paper feed, ink cartridges, connection to computer and so on. I am starting to believe that these products are designed to work for a certain period of time only. And my previous computer from HP got a hard drive problem. I will NEVER again buy a product from HP.
I used to work for a big box retailer, and can actually confirm this is true for some manufacturers products. They design products to last for 2 years and then break, one of the higher ups in corporate admitted to it, and that it's not a tinfoil hat theory.
@@lilikozsik1754 It's not a conspiracy; there have been caselaws stating corporations are by no means required by law to make products that last forever and do not get in trouble for building a product with a set life span.
I worked for the document I was working on at the time. But the next time I tried to print it happened again. Is there a setting in the spool settings I should change? Can't imagine doing this stop/start spool every time I print.
This video was made 11 years ago and made my printer work. I am a college studying and nearly had a breakdown because of a deadline, and my printer stopped working. Thank you so so so much.
30 minuetse trying to find a solution to the problem, came a cross the video (great tutorial BTW); began the operation only to discover my girlfriends foot was the culprit for removing the USB which connected the printer 😂
After following your steps, I'm still having problems. I managed to print just fine before I installed Windows 10. I don't know if that's the cause, but that's the only thing I've changed recently. Now when I print, I get "Communication not Available. The printer cannot communicate with the computer." The solutions they offered didn't work. I have no idea what could be the problem and how to fix it. URGH!!! The computer detects the printer, but it refuses to print!
IDK but why is my dad so proud of me rn, Like I frickin watched a RU-vid tutorial on how to fix the printer and he was like,woahhhhh!!!! That's my son ryt there!!!
You sir, are a god. After hours of looking on RU-vid and google and after being on hold with HP for almost 2 hours I fixed the printer issue in 2 minutes because of this video 🙌🙌
DUUUDE been 10 years now that you uploaded this video, and it helped me fix my printing problem 😂🙌 ! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH !!! Def got a thumbps up from me 👍!!
Judy Purdee - Doughnut know if you got your printer back or not....but w/HP printer & computer running Windows 10 and using Chrome, just go down to lower rt corner, click "show hidden icons", & if printer symbol sits next to vol, click it. Just screw around with what comes up & your printer gets reinitialized. Just open a print window and see if it woks. May The Force be with you!!!
I've spent 2 days to added the new printer to my PC so I can do my tax with no success, after following your video I get it to working, finally! Thank you so much! Wished I had found you earlier.
Thank you. It worked!! I didn't have the same problem. My HP Envy 4500 wouldn't print. It would sound like it was, but nothing was printed. When I replaced the ink...it printed a test page so I knew it could print. I was really frustrated. Found your vid, did what you said...success! Now my printer prints. Thank you!!!!
Thank you! I was going crazy. I can't afford to pay anyone to come and fix my printer. Your video is excellent and I am indebted to you. It works!! Thank you. Subscribed!
I didn't disconnect the printer: just clicked "Stop" on the Service Status and waited for a few seconds when "Start" option became available. Then clicked on "Start" and printer went back to working. Thank you! Great explanation!
Thanks a million. Simple fix and it works. I read on a trouble shooting web page for my printer model about uninstalling the printer, reinstalling it, installing new software etc. Thank god for You Tube and the helpful people on here.
Thank you so much! worked like a charm. I am connect with a usb and was printing just fine then all of a sudden I was getting my printer was in error. I did the troubleshoot scenario and it said my usb was incompatible even though I had just been printing from it. So frustrating! I tried all these other videos and nothing worked except for yours!
Hello X , Though I was not successful initially following your direction, yet I succeeded after three hours by disconnecting the printer and removing the driver and reinstalling them. Thanks for the inspiration. I feel fulfilled!!
You just saved me from throwing my printer through my window!!! I've had issues for 3 months. Off and on printing. New job requires mega printing. This easy solution fixed my printer!!! MEGA THANKS!!!
Thank you so much.. I was in a panic and you calmed me down and it worked like a charm. I will defiantly come back to your page every time I need help.
Thank you. I called HP and they wanted to charge me $99 to walk me through the steps you just did. I use my printer 🖨 for work. This video was a life saver!
