brewster Posted February 6, 2012 Author Posted February 6, 2012 Printer is a brother MFCJ410 but I have tried it with another 2 printers (1 brother and 1 lexmark) and it still wont talk, printer works ok on another laptop with the same usb cable. Have tried using other usb ports but same problem. Printer starts to boot up and then constantly continues to do so. Quote
Plastic Nev Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 Hi, it may be a driver problem, have you looked in device management for any red or yellow marks? If not type into search, or copy and paste this= devmgmt.msc Let us know if anything found, it may be in Universal serial bus controllers. Nev. Quote Need help with your computer problems?

brewster Posted February 11, 2012 Author Posted February 11, 2012 Thanks Nev, think I have managed to find the area you mean but there are no red or yellow warnings there. Quote
KenB Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Hi, Have you tried other devices in the USB Ports and do they work ? Start ...type in .....services.msc ......ENTER Scroll down and look for UPnP Device Host and Print Spooler Are they both set to "Automatic" ?
