Help! Printer won't use USB?

    Most wireless printers also have a USB connection

    that will allow you to directly connect the printer to your computer

    However, it is not unusual for the printer to only be capable of doing one type of connection at a time.

    Either use it wirelessly for everything

    or

    Use it with a USB connection for everything

    NOT a mixture of both

    Step 1: Disconnect and reconnect the USB cable

    To reset the connection between the printer and computer, disconnect and reconnect the USB cable.

    Disconnect the USB cable from the rear of the printer.

    Wait five seconds.

    Reconnect the USB cable to the printer and the computer. Apply some pressure to secure the connections.

    Make sure that the USB cable is connected correctly.

    Try the installation again.
