appropriate printer driver is selected.

Turn off the printer and the computer. Remove the USB cable, and inspect both ends of the
cable for damage. Reconnect the cable, making sure that the connections are tight. Make
sure that the printer is directly connected to the computer. Remove any switchboxes, tape

between the computer and the printer. Restart the printer and the computer.
