If communication errors are observed, you should attempt to print a test page to the device from the computer. If a page cannot be printed, it might be that the address or port for the print driver needs to be configured correctly. In these cases, it is often necessary for you to reboot the computer after re-configuring the print driver in order for HP ToolboxFX to resume communication with the device.
