  1. usb printers not being detected


    Hi, I have a new HP pc upgraded from windows 7 to windows 10 and it does not detect the usb printers plug into it.

    I've tried 2 hp printers with it. All the other usb devices connected do work.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks,
    Joe

    :)

    USB Headset not being detected

    Hi,

    For this concern, you're actually right. It seems that the issue is with the headset. We recommend you contact the manufacturer to get the equipment checked.

    Let us know if you have further questions.

  3. USB Headset not being detected

    Hey John,

    Just wanted to say thanks for the assistance before we continue.

    Anyways I followed the Fixit link but the program apparently doesn't support Windows 10 Operating System. Hopefully there's an alternative. I do not encounter the same issue with my present USB devices at the moment. Interestingly enough, I plugged my headset
    into a laptop and the same error popped up. Maybe its the headsets fault but you would know more than me.

    What are your thoughts on this?

    More than likely you will have to uninstall said printer and then reinstall it. Same thing happened to my HP printer. Once I did that it all worked as it should.

    What is the make and model # of the HP Printer?
    Most printers need you to download the driver from the their web site
    HP Technical Support, Help, and Troubleshooting | HP® Customer Support.
    During the driver install, it will tell you when to plug in the USB Cable to the computer.
    If you already have the printer USB cable plugged in, Press the Win key+X and choose Device Manager, if there are any devices with yellow flags, right click them and Uninstall it. Now remove the USB cable from the Computer end and restart the computer, and download the driver from the HP site and follow the instructions.
