Check the printer cable connection

If your printer and computer are USB-connected and are not communicating with each other, try the following:

●Make sure the power cord is firmly connected to the printer and plugged into a power outlet.

Make sure the other end of the USB cable is plugged into a USB port on your computer. After the cable is connected properly, turn your printer off and then on again.

●If you are connecting the through a USB hub, make sure the hub is turned on. If the hub is on, try connecting directly to your computer.

●Try connecting the USB cable to another USB port on your computer. After you check the connections, try restarting your computer. Turn your printer off and then on again.
