Check that the USB cable is connected to the computer. The USB port on the back of the computer is marked
by the USB symbol. Plug the long, flat end of the USB cable into this port.
2
Make sure that the smaller, more square end of the USB cable is plugged into the back of the printer.

Check that the USB cable is not damaged and that the light is on.
