Dell V510 printer worked fine wirelessly with my laptop until we got a new Belkin 600 Router. Now I get the message "Communication not available. The printer cannot communicate with the computer".
Did you configure your printer to connect to new network? Your new router created a new network unless you set it to be exactly like your previous network.
Router Tech Support Phone Number +1-844-456-4180 router support Belkin wireless router is not working Get belkin router setup as a company was the first in its field to launch a wireless router to share a single internet connection with multiple devices.
The printer's IP address most likely needs to be changed.
Check the Belkin's IP address range (it maybe 192.168.2.***) and configure the printer's IP address accordingly.

Found on another forum. For 926 this worked great.
1. Go to Control Panel - Printers : Delete 926 printer
2. Go to Control Panel - Programs and Features : Uninstall All Dell 926 related software. There should be 3 programs. (When prompted to restart, respond to wait.
3. Rename Folder C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\DRIVERS\W32x86 to W32X86OLD
4. Now restart your computer
5. Reinstall 926 Software.
This worked terrific for me.

I have seen that in most of the cases (with lexmark and dell printers) it is fixed by reinstalling the printer software. Be sure that you completely remove the older drivers using the cd or using add/remove programs.
