The HP All-in-One does not print
Solution If your HP All-in-One and computer are not communicating with each
other, try the following:
Look at the control panel display on the HP All-in-One. If the control panel
display is blank and the light next to the On button is not lit, the HP All-in-
One is turned off. Make sure the power cable is firmly connected to the
HP All-in-One and plugged into a power outlet. Press the On button to turn
on the HP All-in-One.
Check the USB cable. If you are using an older cable, it might not be working
properly. Try connecting it to another product to see if the USB cable works.
If you experience problems, the USB cable might need to be replaced. Also
verify that the cable does not exceed 3 meters (9.8 feet) in length.
