You can try turning off the printers balloon tips. If the printer is wireless, try channel 11 in your wireless router. You can also try Removing computers from printer scan list then restart the computer and see if it prints.
Start, control panel, devices and printer, your printer, printing preferences, advanced, more options. Tell it to never show. The problem with this setting is you cannot tell if you're low on ink, printer jams, Etc.
When I save a .jpg file to an SD card and insert it in the printer port, a message comes up on the computer screen asking if I want to print it. When I hit "yes" and "print", the "Communication not available" message comes up again. Soi, strangely, the printer communicates with the computer, but the computer does not communicate with the printer. PErhaps they had a spat and the computer hasn't gotten over it yet. Seems strange.
