Hi from France,
I am now repairing my printer (Photosmart 8050) with the same problem. It is due to the welds of the USB pins of the socket on the printed board. It is thus necessary to open the printer by means of a screwdriver Torx. You need a little soldering iron in order to weld the four pins of the USB socket, and then I recommand to strengthen the connections and the socket by means of hot glue.

best regards,

Philippe

Hi!

First of all, you'll need to COMPLETELY uninstall the printer:
1. Unplug it from the computer.
2. Uninstall the ALL software/drivers through Add/Remove Programs (or Programs and Features - if you're using Windows Vista/7).
4. Restart the computer.
4. Go to Printers and Faxes (through the Control Panel) and make sure the printer is NOT listed. If it does - delete it.
5. This is an important step, follow carefully:

1. Start -> Run.
2. Type in: cmd
3. Press Enter.
   
4. Type in: set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1
5. Press Enter.
6. Type in: devmgmt.msc
7. Press Enter.
8. Device Manager window should be opened. Click on View.
9. Click Show hidden devices.
10. Expand the Universal Serial Bus Controllers. branch and delete ALL "grayed-out" devices under it (right click on them, then click Uninstall; click OK).
11. Repeat step 13 for any grayed-out devices (if exist) under: a) Printer; b) DOT4 (not sure what the exact branch name - but it's something like this); c) Other devices. (** If you want, you can remove all the non-present (grayed-out) devices in all preset - except for in Non-Plug and Play Drivers [which is too risky if you don't know what you're doing]).
    
12. Close the Device Manager.
