Windows 10: Printer Error Code 45

Hi there, Happy Holidays.I have been having trouble with my HP LaserJet P1102W printer. When trying to print a document, the Error Code 45 pops up. It said the printer wasn't connected to my laptop, however it is physically connected to my laptopvia the printer cable. I have spent 3 days trying to rectify the problem. I have deleted and uploaded the printer various times to no avail. I have done the Windows Powershell Adminstrator cleanup, again to no avail. Have you got any other suggestions other than bring it in to a repair shop?Thank youDeanna

hp printer j4580 error code 45,

Hi idyjohn,

I'd like to ask few questions so I can isolate your concern properly. Kindly answer the following:

• What's the current build of your computer? Press Windows key + R and then type winver.
• Just to clarify, are you getting the error message "Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer... (Code 45)”? If no, please provide the complete error message.
• Have you tried to install the latest update for the driver?

If you're receiving the error message I've mentioned in my second question, this error occurs if a device that was previously connected to the computer is no longer connected. To resolve this problem, reconnect this hardware
device to the computer. This error code is only used to indicate the disconnected status of the device and does not require you to resolve it. The error code resolves automatically when you connect the associated device to the computer.

Thus, you may follow the troubleshooting steps provided on the Fix
printer problems in Windows 10 article to help you resolve your concern.

 

can't connect to printer wirelessly- code 45

Hi Denise,

Error 45 usually occurs if the device that was previously connected to your computer is no longer connected. For us to isolate your concern, please answer the following questions:

• How is your printer connected to your computer (i.e., via Bluetooth, WiFi, router)?
• Have you tried connecting a different computer to your printer? If not, kindly do so and update us with the result.

As an initial troubleshooting step, we suggest that you run the troubleshooter for devices and hardware and see if it helps.

If the troubleshooter did not resolve the issue, we suggest that you update the driver of your printer directly from the manufacturer's website. After ensuring that the correct driver is installed, check if the printer is recognized in the Device Manager.

If the issue persists, try reconnecting the hardware device to your computer.

Your reply is most important for us to ensure we assist you accordingly.
