There are so many cases like yours. There are few ways to resolve this problem. Try to disable the firewalls to see if the communication is blocked.

Also try to reinstall your printer. First you have to make sure all programs are close then click START. From the pop up window right click on the COMPUTER and select PROPERTIES.

If you’re a vista user click device manager. A box will pop out asking if you'll continue or cancel, choose continue. Click on IEEE to expand it.

On the device manager, right click on the printer. A yellow triangle should appear, click update driver. Then select “yes, this time only” after that click next, then install the software then click next again.

This will automatically install your driver. One its finished the new drivers are now ready to use.
