Hi,

Apologies for jumping in.

 

A such may occuor when you only have a USB 3 port on your PC.

 

Follow tese steps to bypass the error:
Click the Start button and type %temp% into the search bar, then open the shown Temp folder.

Open the latest HP installation folder which begins with 7z (e.g. 7zs1234)
Open the Setup folder.
Locate the usbready.exe file and rename it into usbready.old.exe
Browse back to the main extraction folder (the folders who starts with 7z) and launch the Setup.exe file.

Now follow the installation and check for any difference.

Test the USB port of the PC by plugging in a USB flash drive to see if it is recognized by the operating system.

 

You say it is a new PC. Have you installed the USB drivers?

 

 Windows 7 is unlike Windows 8,8.1 or 10. It won't automatically install the drivers on its own.

 

 

Try running the HP Print and Scan Doctor. It will troubleshoot your connection issues.

The issue should be in the printer section. I will move it for you.
