Takumba06 · 01-13-2007, 06:34 PM

All-In-One will not print from computer. Spent 7 to 8 hours on phone
with HP Tech support. Did everything from re-installing software and
drivers to using my laptop with printer was successful in printing. I can
not print from my main computer which my USB has be corrupted. When
I plugg in my USB cable the computer flashes not reconized/malfunction.
I was told to update the drivers for my USB. Do not have a clue where to
go. Microsoft or my motherboard maker (ASUS P4S900). Please note that
the printer works with laptop and that I can use another printer lexmark and
it prints using the USB slots. I have windows professional on both my computer and laptop.
Please advise
Thanks

Do you have all of your updates including SP2?
Check your device manager for conflicts, try another usb cable.

I would assume updates to motherboard. Working on that by
contacting my motherboard maker. Waiting on reply.
I was told by HP support that I needed to update drivers
for USB. Can I go to another site for this or I would have to
us my motherboard maker.
There were no conflicts in my device manager with !.
What was showing was (device unknow) . A windows pop up
will show that device not recognized.
HP was going to replace printer until I used my new laptop and
it was able to install drivers and print. So it is in my main home
office computer.
If un-plug my USB cord and re-connect.
I did change USB cord and that did not work.
Can you advise me or somebody reading my thread.
Thanks

Hi Takumba06!

I had now a similar problem with an HP LaserJet 1022. I have one in my home that I bought about a year ago, that had come with and HP USB cable. Now I buy another for use in another computer, but now HP is not shipping the USB cable with the printer.

With the new printer I have the same problem that you have. But the problem is gone if I use the old HP cable in the new computer and printer. I tried to use five different cables on the new computer and the problem is always the same. I tested the new cables on my home (were I never had this problem in the past, because from the beginning I used the HP cable) and the problem starts.

I chat with HP and they begin with the story of the drivers and so on. But I am convinced that the problem is the USB cable. Now will try to buy another HP cable!

Best regards,
Mauro

Mauro,

It is definitely the cable. I had this problem for 2 years with an HP LJ 1022 and I went through tech support with HP telling me that I need to install all sort of software and drivers to get it to work with my new Vista PC. None of it worked.

2 weeks ago, when the only Win XP PC that it worked with died, I saw this posting and just tried a new cable (without a label) and it worked on all my PCs (XP & Vista). So yes, it is the cable and I would advise persons to try changing that before doing anything else. I don't know what the differences could be in a USB serial cable but the best bet is to use an HP cable.

Did you have any success with your printer?

Thanks for the posting. It solved a problem I had for 2 years. I was on the verge of throughing out my printer.

Cheers,
Daniel
