Installing this printer on a fresh windows 10 home system. Have had the install hang up for hours at " new device is now connected" while installing with a USB cable.
Have tried unplugging the USB, restarting the printer, restarting the pc. Also have tried installing by downloading drivers from HPO, by using windows update- plug and play, and also by original DVD disk.
I have also replaced the USB cable. So now stumped. anyone have any ideas now?
