Have a PSC 2510 on a wireless network. Everything fine until last weekend
when I ran the Software Update from the HP Director. Three updates
installed. Next day, I tried printing and got this message:

"The print spooler was unable to connect to your printer. This can be
caused by your printer being turned off, the cable being unplugged, or being
connected to a VPN, which will block your access to your local network."

I can still scan, so a connection is there. No VPN. Windows firewall is
off. Multiple cold and warm reboots. Tried printing from HP Image Zone,
Word, Notepad.

I tried HP support, the tech had me do a System Restore to before last
weekend - no luck. Got diconnected from HP. System automatically reran
some Windows updates - no change. I went ahead and reran the HP updates -
no change.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

I would suspect the microsoft.net framework updates that were
part of the latest Microsoft updates rather than the HP updates
noting most HP PSC models need Microsoft.net framework to run.

Could be. Like I mentioned, I did do a system restore, but who knows what
lingers.

I uninstalled and reinstalled all of the HP software today - no luck.
Communication is fine - the HP software knows that the "toner" is low.
Still can't print, still a spooler message. I may burn the document's
folders and do a Dell system restore this weekend.

Same problem here. Installed latest HP update and got the same error
message. Have not called HP yet. I am not aware of the .net
framework update - I know that at least I did not do it manually. My
next step was going to be to direct-connect the printer to my wireless
router... as if I we installing the printer for the first time... and
see what happens.
