It sounds like a failure on the printer. Due to the prices of printers, and since it is of recent procurement, I would either exchange it at the place of purchase, or call HP support and have the printer repaired under warranty.

  1. First check the power supply to the printer. Plugged your printer to the power supply and turned it on.
  2. Then, second, check the USB connection for wired printers and the wireless connection for the wireless printers.
  3. If you don't find any issue there, then download the printing troubleshooter setup and run it.
  4. If printing troubleshooter doesn't troubleshoot the problem, then it means a new driver will have to install or update the driver version.
  5. For this, Right click on windows logo and select the Device Manager option. In Device Manager, you will find a Printers option, expand it and find your printer in the list, then right click on your printer and select Update Driver.

I simply uninstalled the old driver software and installed the latest one from hp site. some windows updates were updated in the installation process which might have caused the problem

Hi zintum, I hope you will see this reply. I think I had the same problem as you with my HP laserjet printer due to a windows update. I did the same steps you took and re-installed the driver update and tried different computers and cables to run the printer but always get "usb device not recognized". The windows 10 update came thru wi-fi to my win 7 desktop while the printer was connected to it and it quit working right in the middle of a print job, so I'm sure it has to do with the Windows update that they would not allow to be "uninstalled". I tried everything to roll back to pre-update but could not. I found this info that seems to confirm my "theory". I have not tried it yet. https://howtofixmyprinter.com/printer-is...

Did you get your printer working?
