The first step in troubleshooting a printer USB setup is to
check for its compatibility with the currently installed Operating System. Further,
the printer USB cable connection should not certainly exceed 3 meter distance
since the noise interferences are high. Also make sure that the Input paper tray
is fully stacked with print media. In the least of circumstances the USB Setup
issue may be due to depleted Ink Cartridges installed in your HP Printer.
