Dell V305 inject printer displays the error message "Communication Error" when trying to print.

I posted the following error on this site Aug 10, 2015 and was given the following instructions to fix. I performed those and it started to print again, Recently I have the same symptoms, I can scan but not print due to the communications error.

I recently installed Windows 10 and when I attempt to print on my Dell v305 inkjet printer I receive the error message "Communications Not Available" my printer is attached via USB. I can use the scan feature of the printer and it scans fine, just when I try printing I receive the error. The print job appears in the print queue, just wont print. I tried reinstalling with no luck also saw there was no Windows 10 driver. Any other suggestions?

Thanks!!

stripes52331163,

Did you turn off the balloon tips as mentioned HERE?

If the printer is wireless, are you using channels 1, 6 or 11? I prefer channel 11.
