Usb not connected 4280

i can copy but when i scan it says USB NOT CONNECTED but it is. i have had this printer FOREVER but recently had windows 8 installed. how can i scan and no im not going to do an uninstall at this point. i scanned manually recently but cant remember how i did it.

Hello @kirksandiego and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you are experiencing issues scanning. I would like to help!
I'd suggest removing the cartridges and performing a power reset. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
I would also recommend downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

On my photosmart C4200 series printer, error message says USB not connected

I have a hp photosmart C4200 series it's saying the USB not connected. I made sure all connections were secure and still same message. I unplugged it and then plugged back in at tower and printer, still same. I changed out cable, still same problem. Is there anything else I can do aside from buying a new printer? Thanks, Jenn

Hi @jennirvinpest,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I noticed that you are getting the error message that says your USB is not connected with your HP Photosmart c4200 series.
For further assistance, I will need some more information:
The Product/Model Number of your printer. Follow instructions in this link. Finding Your HP Product Model Number.
If you are using a Windows or Mac Operating System, and the version number. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos.
If the printer is able to make copies.
If the power cable is plugged into a surge protector, or directly to the wall outlet. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
Thank you for posting, and hope to hear from you soon!

Photosmart c4280 scanner "USB not connected" to Mac running 10.9.5

I've combed this forum and others and tried all the tricks. I can print and copy, so there's no USB problem. I've turned it all off and rebooted, downloaded an update, removed and re-added the printer, plugged, unplugged the USB and power cords. I've tried using image capture but it says it is not connected to a scanning device. I've reset the printer and uninstalled, per the directions in another thread. Now when I add the printer back, the C4200 series is not an option for software, since I deleted it (and software updates on Mac of course detects no updates available) so the default is "Generic PCL Printer" and of course, it still says the USB is not connected. What now? Thank you!

Hi @techtrampled,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that you are getting a USB not connected error using your HP Photosmart c4280 on Mac 10.9.5. I am happy to help!
I would recommend to go through the steps in this printer is offline guide, 'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the Printer Does Not Print: Mac OS X.
Hope this guide helps, and have a wonderful day!

"USB not connected"

HP Photosmart C4280: Hi, I had some work done on my CPU and the cables were disconnected. They are reconnected, but if I try to scan, it won't work and I get the message that the USB is not connected. Do I have to re-load the whole set-up? The printer is working fine otherwise.

USB not connecting properly 8800

I can no longer connect using USB to Blackberry Desktop Manager. Although the Device Connected (PIN) is showing correctly I can no longer synchronise or backup/restore etc. The 8800 is charging through the USB OK too. Tried different PCs and different USB cables. Is there a setting on the Blackberry I have inadvertantly changed perhaps?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Remove the battery and reboot the BB. Leave it powered on for the battery pull.
For the USB cable...
Make certain your USB cable is connected to one of the PC's main rear USB ports. Not a USB hub, nor a monitor USB port, nor a USB port on the front of the PC.

Restore.

My iPhone 4s is stuck on a black screen that shows a USB cable connecting to iTunes. The phone will not turn on and the iTunes logo as I described only shows up when I plug the phone into the charger or my computer. I have tried the reset in restore mode

My iPhone 4s is stuck on a black screen that shows a USB cable connecting to iTunes. The phone will not turn on and the iTunes logo as I described only shows up when I plug the phone into the charger or my computer. I have tried the reset in restore mode as well as the DFU? mode and it still will not work. I have the latest version of iTunes on my Mac. My error code was 2002. I also tried it on my laptop (windows 8.1) and none of the above worked. My error code on my laptop was 02. The phone is through Verizon and it has absolutely no damage. It was working fine up until this and I have been trying to fix it for 2 days. Please help! I am unsure of what version the phone was currently running on before this because I have another iphone that's my primary phone and have not used this one in about a month. I do not believe it was updated to IOS 7.

Your iPhone is in recoverty mode at the moment so to possibly get it back up and running you would need to do a restore as you have been trying. Follow the steps in the article below for the specific error messages you have been receiving. If after following all steps the issue remains book an appointment at a local Apple Retail Store to have the iPhone evaluated.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My iPod 4th-gen charges just fine in any wall outlet, but when connected to my brand new ASUS Windows-8 laptop's USB 3.0 port the charging process just keeps "blinking" on both the iPod and the laptop and will not connect to Itunes...

Hi, I HATE to ask for help with this, but I HAVE looked everywhere and Google searched different wordings and have not found anything similar nor a solution to my problem! My good old iPod 4th-gen charges just fine in any wall outlet, in any house, but when I connect it to my brand new ASUS laptop that has Windows-8 and 3.0 USB ports using the charging/data cable, the charging process just keeps "blinking" BOTH the iPod and the laptop and it will not connect to ITunes and I get "A Device is Detected" message that keeps popping up and going away over and over right above the Windows desktop toolbar. When I go to control panel and select "Devices" it does show the iPod, but for only a split second and than it disappears, but than it comes back again for a split second and than it disappears again and just keeps doing that over and over and over! I have tried resetting the iPod while it is plugged into the laptop by holding the power and menu buttons, that did no good. I also tried uninstalling iTunes and any other Apple stuff listed and reinstalling it all, that did NOT work! The iPod, the laptop and iTunes ARE all fully updated! I AM using a brand new charging/data cable that I just opened up an hour ago (I've learned to keep a few brand new ones around at all times since these piece of garbage rip-off cables hardly last a week, even when you baby them!). I also tried a few old cables, they all do the same thing! I would like to get this piece of junk to connect to my new laptop, even if only once, so that I can change/delete some songs and transfer a few dozen photos,since I haven't been able to do any of that stuff since my old laptop (that NEVER had any problems connecting) died way back in May! lol. I hope somebody knows a fix or solution! Thank You!

Try on another computer to help determine if iPod or computer problem.
