Hi,
I am trying to print a photo for past 2 hours from a Vista comp on my HP Photosmart C4385
i installed the drivers, i even tested the pages.. the printer is just fine.
i also Scanned a document.
But the when i give printing command.. it just WONT work..
its gives a printing error.
The printer is detected on the network... but somehow it ll never print from my comp.

-
Restart Print Spooler service may help.
-
have you turned the file and printer sharing on in network and sharing center?
have you tried reinstalling the drivers ?
also set your network location to public in windows vista -
i re-installed, i enabled printer sharing & i restarted spooler service.
No Result! -
-
Try print from another computer if available and report back.
-
what document are you trying to print. the size of document in the pic u inserted is shown 6.17 mb. what is it ?? try printing some small notepad or word file first. maybe its a printer buffer owerflow .
-
I agree with kuncheesh. The document size is too big!!! Just do whatever kuncheesh told you to do.
-
Its just a Photo taken on my digital camera...
I ll try printing small stuff.
EDIT: Nop guys... the printer isnt working with even 56kb small documents.
!!! -
Bump! ... any more ideas why it might not be working?

Do you have an account on the PC that has the printer or is this a true network printer? Always best to have an account on both machines that match, ID & PW.
Is your Firewall blocking your communication? -
Have you followed all of the HP setup and installation instructions? Have you followed all of the available HP support FAQs? -
I restarted comp... & enabled it through COMODO.
its WORKING NOW.
I think i must have stopped some essential services & COMODO must be block the wireless communication -
great to hear it has been solved....... btw........ what is COMODO ??

Comodo is a FREE FW and AV programs.
-
and also the Best Firewall.... even better than Norton Personal Firewall.
But it has too many features & normal person might get scared that how unsafe internet is.
Btw the printer is Great...i scanned some documents & printed some vacation photos.
Model is HP Photosmart C4385 -
I went through this a week ago setting up my first wireless printer, Lexmark 6500. The printer server showed in my HomePortal account, but computer and printer weren't speaking to each other, reinstalled a couple of times then went to the Lexmark web site, searched how to's, and found the missing step, had to enable SSID Broadcast.
Wirless Printer just wont work on my Vista
