Installation program stops

If the installation program stops when it looks for new hardware, one of the following
issues is causing a communication problem:

The USB cable is old or defective.

Software, such as an antivirus program, is running.

Another device, such as a scanner, is connected to the computer.

To resolve the problem
1.

Make sure that no USB devices other than the printer, the keyboard, and the mouse
are connected to the computer.

2.

Disconnect and reconnect the USB cable.

3.

Make sure that the printer is connected directly to a USB port on the computer
(instead of through a USB hub).

4.

If the installation program still does not locate the printer, replace the USB cable,
and then continue to the next step.

5.

Click Cancel, and then restart the computer.
