Windows is not detecting your printer. Try a different USB cable
When you insert/remove a flash drive do you hear the "ding-dong"? Should be true for your printer as well
To easily see when Windows detects USB h/w, download and run USBTreeView. The display should refresh as you connect/disconnect USB devices. In my example below you'll see
USB Mass Storage Device (is a flash drive in this case)
A web cam
A USB Composite device (is my USB wireless mouse/keyboard transceiver.)
Also note, Windows doesn't need the device driver to detect plug and play h/w (like your USB printer). It only needs the driver to identify the device and use it's functionality. That means USBTreeView will show USB h/w detection whether or not the device driver is installed or not. (Detected h/w with no driver often appear with names like "Unknown" or appear in Device Manager under a "Other device" category.
See what happens as you connect/disconnect your printer.
No, there is no ding dong sound whatever I remove, but guess what? It's all working again, but I don't know how it happened,
although I did get an update message yesterday telling me there was a driver update, but after installing, nothing changed so maybe it need a re-boot. Also, no problem with the USB connections.
Anyway, thanks for your help with this situation.
