I Checking the Printer and Computer Connection
If you have problems with the printer, the cause may be in the hardware you are using to
connect the printer and computer.
• If you are using a switching device, USB hub or external buffer,
disconnect the device and connect the printer directly to the computer
again. If you can print normally with the direct connection, contact the
manufacturer of the device.
