I can't print from my computer. I just did some scanning a couple of days ago and now can't print from the computer. Can you help me? Thank you

Have you checked to be sure it is still set as your default printer?
Since it was connected to another computer when it was borrowed, something may have been changed.

Reset your printer by unplugging the power adapter from it(small black box behind the printer where the power cord is attached). Wait for at least 10 seconds before plugging the power adapter back in the printer.
Clear the print queue first before sending another print job. Follow the steps below:

Sounds like you have the wrong driver installed, go to canon website and download a new driver for the machine

Delete the software as it is installed. Then rerun the installation disc. Or restore your computer to three days ago and you should be back in business.

I also experienced the "process 'mdns' stopped unexpectedly with Status 1" message a few days ago with my new HP 7250, and found two solutions. Here are a couple of potential cures:

I downloaded the shareware program 'Printer Setup Repair', then ran their 'Reset and Backup' routine. Restarted, and bingo! Printing was successful. But trying to run either the HP scan software or the HP Ink Widget from Dashboard were not so successful. Got a 'Scanner not found' message. I then went to the printer, tried doing a manual scan there, sending the scan to my PowerBook. Once again, bingo. The scan was sent to my computer, and now the HP software could see the printer. I've since restarted both my computer and the printer several times; printing and scanning are working fine.

Now the second way to fix the problem. It's kind of hokey, but it seems to work, and is what led me to the The process 'mdns' stopped unexpectedly" with Status 1" problem in the first place. What you do is just add an ethernet router, that one you have lying around the house somewhere, between your DSL or cable modem and your Airport modem. Huh?

Here's the deal: when I first bought my HP multifunction printer, my wireless setup was this: Cable modem>Xsense ethernet router>Airport extreme. Unpacked and hooked up the HP printer, and it all worked immediately, perfectly. Print, scan, check supply levels, all no problem. Way too easy. Then, about a week ago I realized that the Xsense ethernet router that I had in the chain was really superfluous, as we no longer use ethernet in the house; might as well eliminate that unnecessary link in the chain. So I changed my setup to a simple: Cable modem>Airport extreme. At this point printing stopped. Tried everything I could think of, no go. Always got the "process ' mdns' stopped unexpectedly with Status 1" message. Put the ethernet router back in the chain, printing/scanning went perfectly. This made absolutely no sense to me, but it worked.

Left my setup with the extra router for a day or two until I remembered about the shareware program 'Printer Setup Repair', described above.

Before doing any of these steps it's probably a good idea to run Disk Permissions (I always run it before and after any installation), just to be sure you're authorized to be using the HP software.


Good luck!

reinstall it all...software and drivers as if it was never done

Open the Control Panel from either the Start menu or by opening 'My Computer.' Find your Printers and Faxes folder and open that.  Double-click on the icon of the X2500; if more than one, choose the one with a check mark and double click on that icon. This will open a 'job list' showing those which were not completed for some reason, click on it (them) and delete it from the list.   

Contact Kodak! I had similar problem after a paper jam. I phoned three days ago and this morning, a new printhead arrived along with two new cartridges. Have installed the printhead and printer is printing beautifully! Thank you Kodak! Great customer service!

in order to find out what is going on you have to print direct from the windows printer driver (print a test page) and come back.

Make sure that the proper output was selected in the DVD menu and that the progressive scanning feature was turned off. Use the composite video output instead the Y Pb Pr.
