Make sure any interface cables are connected securely at both ends. If you have a spare cable, try
connecting with the spare cable.
Check the model and specifications of the interface cable to see if the cable is appropriate for your
computer and printer.
If you connected your printer to a USB hub, make sure it is a first-tier hub. If it still does not print,
connect your printer directly to your computer instead of the hub.
Make sure the USB hub is recognized correctly on the computer. Disconnect all USB hubs from the
computer and connect the printer directly to the computer's USB port.
If you have an optional print server connected to the printer, make sure you are not saving the print job
to the hard drive.
Make sure the USB cable length does not exceed 10 feet (3 m).
