Hi Friends,

I am using the HP printer with my my computer. From few days I am getting error when while connecting to the printer. I have used HP software to troubleshoot the problem of my HP printer. But whenever I try to do this I immediately get the error message saying that "No devices have been detected" .
I don't have any idea why my printer is not get detected. If anyone have suggestions over this problem then please let me know the same.

Hi friend,

I recommend you to check whether the printer is properly connect with computer or not. Please make sure that the printer cable is not faulty, because this may lead to get "No devices have been detected" error message. If all these are not faulty , then I think you need to uninstall then HP printer driver and again reinstall it . Make sure that you are installing the latest HP printer driver. This may works for your printer.

Hi ,

I have also the HP Officejet printer. And I am also troubled from the same error message i.e "No devices have been detected". I don't think that it is the computer problem. When I contacted to the HP printer manufacturer , I got answer that you need to reinstall the Device driver for the printer. I have already tried the reinstallation of the driver, but it's not working. How can get release from this error?

Hello,

If you have already tried printer driver reinstallation,and problem is not yet solved. Then I think It is the problem of your HP printer. Please check the connection cable is connected properly or not. I think you should try your HP printer with other computer. If it works then there must be problem in your computer. Try to adjust the printer properties from the control panel. And the best way to avoid this error message is to take help of hardware engineer.
