If your HP All-in-One and computer are USB-connected and are not communicating with each other, try the following:

Look at the color graphics display on the HP All-in-One. If the color graphics display is blank and the On button is not lit, the HP All-in-One is turned off. Make sure the power cord is firmly connected to the HP All-in-One and plugged into a power outlet. Press the On button to turn on the HP All-in-One.

Check the USB cable. If you are using an older cable, it might not be working properly. Try connecting it to another product to see if the USB cable works. If you experience problems, the USB cable might need to be replaced. Also verify that the cable does not exceed 3 meters (9.8 feet) in length.

Make sure your computer is USB ready. Some operating systems, such as Windows 95 and Windows NT, do not support USB connections. Check the documentation that came with your operating system for more information.

Check the connection from your HP All-in-One to your computer. Verify that the USB cable is securely plugged into the USB port on the back of your HP All-in-One. 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 HP All-in-One off and then on again.
