What is the exact error message?

Which version of Windows?

Why do you have two different printers installed?

Since this printer is capable of wireless, are you connected with USB cable only?

Communication not available is a networking problem with the printer.

Perhaps you inadvertently set it to use networking instead of USB.

Communication Not Available

The printer cannot communicate with the computer.

Try these solutions:

-Ensure the printer power is on

-Disconnect and reconnect the printer's power cable

-Disconnect and reconnect the USB cable

-Check your Firewall settings to ensure printer communication is not

blocked

-Restart your computer

All above solutions were tried and none have worked. The computer recognizes the printer and even turns it on at start up. It will even print a test page. I must be doing something wrong here.

Windows Vista Home Premium.

There is only one printer installed, the V515w.

It is currently set to USB002. I am not  even going to attempt to run wireless until I can figure out the basics.

Ok, I think I fumbled around and figured it out. Somehow how the files were set to open was changed. I have the picture files set to open to the printer now, for lack of knowing the proper terminology. I'm computer challenged. :emotion-2:

Thanks for the help and bearing with an idiot!

glad you got it working  :)

Hey, Im having the same problem as Deranged (had). I've tried everything I can think of, so I may have just done what he did and set it to networking instead of USB. How exactly do you fix that?  :emotion-12:

Thanks.

Printer settings are in the control panel. The 141 page User's Guide is useful.

Mines set to USB001, but I dont understand what that has to do with networking.

What user's guide are you speaking of? The one that comes with the printer?
