Believe it or not, this problem is actually related to the computer, not the printer.
I can tell by the error message that you are plugged into a USB hub. Unplug it from the hub, then plug it directly into your computer's back USB ports, not the front ones. It will probably work now.
To properly fix the issue, you need to purchase a powered USB hub.
Essentially this happens because the printer is power hungry. Passive USB hubs like the one you have can only provide enough juice that your computer gives it. Since your computer doesn't want to fry out by "overloading" the voltage on the line, it reduces the power and throws that error message.
Now, if you are getting this message on a laptop computer OR you plugged the printer into the back ports and the unit STILL does not work, the printer or USB cable has a short and needs to be replaced.
Good luck. Please rate my response or post a comment on your original question to allow me to further assist you.
