Hi Ana ,
Try direct connection , no Hub .

First check your devices and printers and see if its listed. If it is check to see if its the default printer. If it is listed make it default. If it is not listed install software from HP support under your HP C309a. With the software downloaded and saved to your computer (I would download the complete software not just the driver)you should be able to connect that printer to your computer and the rest of the network.

If that does not solve it, have it tested on another computer. Should it still not work, your printer may have gone bad.
