Make sure you are using the proper USB cable (USB 2.0).

If you are using a USB hub to connect the USB cable to the computer, make sure that it has power. Use a self-powered (connected to an electrical outlet) USB hub instead of one that uses the computer’s internal power.

Check the connection from your computer to your printer. Ensure that the square end of the USB cable is plugged in to the USB port on the back of your printer, and the flat end into a USB port on your computer.

You may need to disconnect other printers or scanners from your computer.

After checking connections, restart your computer.

Make sure your computer meets the minimum system requirements, otherwise upgrade your system if necessary.

For more information on connecting your printer to your computer, see the Start Here booklet that came with your printer.
