Printer not responding to commands from computer.. Printer "voice" is silent . There is no message on the printer screen to indicate a problem. USB cable and power cable and power supply to printer have been disconnected and reconnected. After the above described problem happened, both ink cartridges were replaced with new cartridges. Printed printed an alignment sheet but is still unresponsive to commands from computer.

what kind of printer is it?

remove printer from USB, and un-install, reboot
insert CD that came with printer and run installation "DO NOT CONNECT PRINTER" installation should ask what kind of connection USB or parallel AND it will tell you when to connect it

NOTE: connect it to a different USB port that the one you used.

again, this is general instructions as I have no clue on what printer you have.
