Have a Dell inspiron 530 computer, Dell V305 printer and Vista Home Premium SP1. A month ago the printer stop printing from Document, I contacted Dell, they first said I had a 926 printer and play around finely come up with V305 printer. Printed a test and is eveything OK, I said thank you and being late day for me I shut down. Next day go to print from Document NO GO samething, COMMUNICATION NOT AVAILABLE (Dell V305 -UBS Port) open. I call Dell get the run around and then I'm told it's software not hardward, but for a fee they can fix it? I said, I will think about it. A friend was to help but? The printer works just fine with e-mail, so I know they are connected. I have notice that if I press the continue button after COMMUNICATION NOT AVAILABLE the print queue come on. Now I shut down the computer, on restarte what ever the count in queue will print? To Whom Thank You grumpa

It almost sounds like there may be something going on with your print spooler. But the documents print after a reboot right. What program are yiou trying to print from?
