Simplest thing to try is another USB cable. Still not working, then problem could be in the USB connector on printer.

Possible it could be a conflict with another connected USB device. Try unplugging all USB devices and wait for the PC to drop those connections. You can see these in the Device Manager. Then plug in just the printer.

Testimonial: "thanks very much for your exc advice, i unplugged two ipod players and then reconnected my usb cable to the printer and it worked , thanks again, mike"

You just need to update your USB drivers- if that doesnt fix it- then it's the USB port. Have any other USB ports? Stick it in another one. I doubt its the mp3 player. just try updating the drivers or re-installing them.

The problem is caused by you connecting the printer before the software asks you to.

Uninstall all HP software, restart the PC and start again. Do NOT connect the printer until the install prog tells you to.

HI,

Is this the first time you connect your printer on that computer? This can be the USB port does not support a 2.0, or your data cable/printer cable is damage.

Having trouble installing HP Photosmart All in One Printer. Model C5280. Near the end of installation it ask's for printer to be connected via USB cable. Msg comes up on screen 'USB Device not recognized'...

Dear Sir:

It seems that the printer has gone bad because when you get this message 'USB Device not recognized' it means that the usb device connected to the computer is defective however I would suggest you to connect this device to another computer and if you are getting the same error with the other computer.

Please contact hp support they should be able to help you with this.

Please feel free to get back to me If you need any further assistance.
Regards
Mohammed.
