I have a hp psc 2510 all in one. It was working perfectly, then I got "looking for printer" error. It was plugged into the airport express at the time. (and for the last few yrs)
I deleted it from sys pref, plugged directly into the computer and it does not show up in add printer. I reinstalled the software and it still doesn't show up! I even put in a new printer cord and plugged it in a different outlet. At one point I got an error message that said the usb hub was drawing too much power, so it would be deactivated. This happens with both usb ports on laptop.Other things work with the usb ports, such as my camera. I am really stumped! Any suggestions would be appreciated.
