:confused: I got problem to connect my Hp laserjet 4000 tn cos always getting this message. Tryed google to solve problem but no luck. Can anybody help.pls

You need to provide a bit more info.

Was it working previously and has now stopped? What version of Windows are you running? How old is the printer? Do any other devices work on the USB port you are trying?

Try downloading the latest drivers for your OS, try connecting to a different USB port & a different USB cable, check the troubleshooting pages on the HP site.

Good luck.
 
Its an old model of printer and i am runnig Win Xp SP3, my usb keyboard and mouse working ok, i tryed to connect the printer in the usb port where the keyboard and mouse was connected before and i tryed all of the drivers from HP web site. And the printer was working with this cable no problem on diferent comp. So :mad: pls help
 
Shut the computer down and unplug it from the mains, press the power button and let go, wait 2-3 mins then switch everything back on, sometimes that does the trick.
 
It does not show the printer in that menu, what it does when i connect printer thru usb is pop up bouble saying: One of USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance ...bla bla..
