Printer will not communicate with computers

My HP PSC 1510 does not communicate with my computer at all. I've tried multiple USB cables. The printer turns on, the copier works fine but when I plug in the USB, nothing happens. I have reinstalled the software and drivers. I uninstalled everything and plugged in the USB, trying multiple ports and the computer does not respond at all. I have tried this printer on 2 different PC's and I am currently trying to use it on a Macbook. Same result with every computer. It's the printer.. I believe in the hardware. It worked fine about 3 months ago but I haven't used it in a while and now it does not work. When the software looks for the USB, it claims "No devices found." I've used all USB's with other hardware and they work just fine. Is there a rest button or something on the printer? Thanks so much! my hp psc printer does not respond to the computer every time i try to connect th eusb cable..it says gound new hardware ani a small box appears and tries to install the software but later it say that the hardware dint could not be installed as it din find any software i dint used the printer for 1 yr and now when i use it says such problem i hav tried downloading the software many times but also its not working

    I have a Lexmark Z23 Inkjet printer that will not communicate with the computer. I have reloaded the drivers but still nothing. I even purchased a new USB cable thinking the prongs were bent but it still will not communicate with the computer. What should i try next?

Whenever I have seen this problem it has usually turned out to be one of the solder points on the USB connection in the printer. Of course it could be a logic board problem as well. Well done for testing your problem so thoroughly (eg trying different cables and machines) but I think it needs a repair agent now unless it is under warranty (or you can solder well). Mind you it's probably cheaper to purchase a new one then to pay to have it repaired.

I can scan, BUT I can't print. HP PSC 1500 windows 7

Go to control panel and check the printer status, Unplug the USB cable than right click on printer icon and click on delete. Once you do that make sure printer icon should be gone. Than restart the computer. Once computer is Up than connect the USB cable of printer and make sure while doing that , the printer should be powered on. After that printer icon will again reappear in contro panel.

Try printing, it should work

Using multiple HP printer models with same Windows XP laptop

I doubt there is a universal driver , however you could connect directly to your pc or via a router and share it over your home /business network, and access it them that way
