My usb ports stopped functioning, I'm unable to print or use any of my usb sticks...any suggestions?

If the system is unable to detect the printer, it will put the printer in offline mode. In this condition you won't get any print outs..
1. chk usb cable
2. un plug the usb cable, un install the drivers, plug the usb cable & chk new hard ware found?.. if not there is usb port issue, chk system usb port/s are working or not.. if yes
3. Replace printer formatter assmbly...
This printer network unable printer, why cant use through network? instead of replacing the formatter assembly...

May be there some problem with internal wiring. Did you check the drivers?

Check if interface at the back of printer is interchangeable to the type of port your computer will support it. Direct USB to USB or direct connection is recommended to avoid future issues.

Check ur usb port with other devices.It they were not working properly,
ur usb port is damaged,then put ur device to another usb port.if is not working properly then,ur device is damaged,u can do nothing.

Hi,

Go to system settings and select the 'Printer' option.

Right-click on the printer and enable the 'Use Printer Online' function.

Cancel all the printing jobs till that moment and redo the process.

Sometimes the 'Printer Offline' message occurs due to a 'Job Stuck' issue.

Check all network connections and functions.

Be sure the network interfaces work properly.

Turn the printer off and on to see whether the device is working properly.

Try to plug your phone to other USB port in your PC I will recommend to plug it at the USB port at the back of your CPU. USB supply of power at the back of the CPU is sufficient to make your device function properly so it may be able to detect by the system..mostly device can't recognize by the system because they didn't function properly specially if they are plugged in a USB port who don't have enough supply of power to make them work properly..Hope it may help you..

Well i'm having the same problem.
My mouse & keyboard work trough the hub, however when i plug an USB-stick in, it wont recognize it.

I've i put my USB-stick in another USB-port, it works.

So try putting your usb, in another USB-port, thats not from your hub.

Sounds like you have a BIOS problem, it needs to be flashed to the latest BIOS version, you have to check your manufacturer's support website and download the correct one for your specific hardware and model.

Good luck!

The 50 series errors have to do with the cleaning station on the right, any paper or foreign matter will stop them from functioning, also a mickey mouse spring loaded gear that likes to stick and give you that error.

You can plug a USB hub into the working USB port on the computer. The USB hub can have several ports so you can plug in several USB devices.
I suggest you get a powered USB hub because if all the devices that you plug into this hub exceeds 500mA then your computer's USB port will stop working because it could not supply enough current.
You will not need to plug in the power adapter into the hub if the device/s do not overload the computer's USB port.
