The printer is listed as offline in control panel. I change printer vista the printer status to online. The document now has error next to the file name in the printer que. Nothing actually prints. This printer connection was working fine for seven months, and then just stopped. Im using Vista with a USB staples vista to parallel printer cable connected to an Epson printer. The printer passes the printer self test (done with PC off). I replaced the USB to parallel cables, no change. I have tried to delete the printer, delete USB printer support, and all items in the print que. Still no file prints. How do I find an error code for the print file, to help define the problem? Any ideas on what to check? Oconee29, Aug 10, 2009 #1 Sponsor new tech guy

Joined: Mar 27, 2006 Messages: 5,178 Question first, does the printer have a direct usb port on the back of it to directly connect to the pc instead of using the parelell converter? Also, is the printer set to print to the usb port in the printer properties (control panel>printers>properties, click on the ports tab)? Check those 2 things, sound silly but may just solve the problem. Also, make sure your print drivers are up to date. What model printer is it anyway? new tech guy, Aug 11, 2009 #2 Oconee29 Thread Starter Joined: Aug 10, 2009 Messages: 3 No the printer does not have a direct USB port. Yes the printer is set to print to the USB port. The printer is model is Epson C62. The printer is listed as offline when I look in control panel>printers. The Vista pc is seven months old and the printer and cable worked fine for 7 months. The printer passes a self test. I connected the printer to an old Windows XP pc and it prints. So it has something to do with Vista PC. Only changes I am aware of are the Vista update to SP2.

Tags: Windows Vista, printer There is a common issue under Windows Vista where the user is unable to print to a error printing properly installed network printer. When the problem occurs, documents get stuck in the printer queue, or you may get an error: "Windows cannot connect to the printer. Operation could not be completed". It is also possible for a Vista computer not to see some XP/2k network printers at all.These issues can often be resolved by installing as a local printer instead of a network one (provided it error printing in has Vista drivers). You can use either the remote networked machine name or IP address to add the printer, as follows:1. Navigate to Start > Control Panel > Printers2. Right-click and choose Add a local printer -> Create a new port -> type: Local Port3. In the "Enter a port name" dialog, type either: \\NETWORKMACHINENAME\printsharenameor \\IPADDRESS\printsharenameThat should resolve the network printer issues.Note: For printers directly connected to a network you can simply add their IP address in the Add Printer Wizard.

Even after several restarts, the printer remains there.

(I'm being serious) –slhck Jun 22 '11 at 14:28 @Chopper3: Seeing as you can ask questions about 'Desktop PCs that you maintain in the workplace' on ServerFault (quote from the faq, which I did read), I thought it was an OK place to ask. Fair enough. –Peter Jun 22 '11 at 14:50 @slhck: yes, these printers have been in the list for months. As I mentioned in my question, I have rebooted (but I used the word 'restarts', sorry for the confusion). I've even tried deleting them several times. –Peter Jun 22 '11 at 14:51 @Peter Oh, I somehow must have missed that, my bad.

Right-clicked on the printer, chose the option 'Cancel all documents', and the printer dissappeared. share|improve this answer answered Jun 23 '11 at 6:59 Peter 9311915 Cool, my problem is just same as yours and your hints solved my problem. About 7 printers disappeared. One of the printer still showing up. I opened Services.msc, stop the "Print Spooler" service, delete all documents at C:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS. Restart "Print Spooler" service, then the last printer disappeared
