The computer and printer lost communication Cause: • The computer might not be connected to the printer. • The printer might be turned off. • The printer might not be connected to a power source. • You might be using a USB hub or docking station that has multiple devices connected to it. Accessing another device can temporarily break the connection to the printer. Solution: • Make sure the USB cable is securely attached to both the computer and to the USB port on the back of the printer. • Make sure that the printer power cord is securely attached and the printer is turned on. • Wait until the other device is no longer being accessed or connect the printer directly to the computer. If an HP Photosmart dialog box is displayed, click Retry to try to re-establish a connection.
