Hello,

If you have Windows OS, try this:

Clear Printer Spooler files and enable the Spooler service.

a. Click Start, type "services.msc" (without quotes) and press Enter.

b. Double-click "Printer Spooler" in the Services list.

c. Click Stop and click OK.

d. Click Start, type "%WINDIR%\system32\spool\printers" (without quotes) in the search box and press Enter. In the open window, and delete all files in this folder.

e. Now, go to “Services” again. Double-click "Printer Spooler".

f. On the General tab, next to Startup type, make sure that Automatic is selected.

g. If the service is not already running, under Service status, click Start, and then click OK.

Hi,
Go to your search programs and files box in the start menu and type in services when you open services scroll down to Print Spoolers double click and you will see service status started hit the key that says stop after it stops hit OK to close it and reopen Print Spoolers and click open tab and then hit OK to close then close services box and you should be able to print again.
Good Luck

Hi Bill,
Have you tried the printers on another PC?Please do.

• Whats the Operating System on your PC?Do the printer drivers correspond with that Operating System?If not,download the corresponding drivers from this dell support site. This you select under compatibility.
  
• After uninstalling the printer,disconnect fully and unplug from power.Reboot your PC before installing the printer again.

Hope this helps.Thanks!

the printer not communicating with computer

Sounds like a problem with the spooler.
Try to bypass the spooler when printing by right clicking on your printer and select "properties"

Select the "advanced" tab and select "print directly to the printer".
Hoepfully this should take care of it.

Try taking the printer offline, deleting the stuck print job as well as the other jobs. Then, open the Services applet & restart the Print Spooler service. This would clear the error.

Please check if the priter is connected properly to the system and you are able to locate it through finding priters options. If the system is able to locate it, Then check the printer for any errors
