Problems with your USB installation?
How can I determine if my computer’s USB port
is enabled?
First, follow the installation instructions beginning on page 14.
If you don’t see the Add New Hardware Wizard screen after
connecting your printer to your computer, perform these steps:
1 In Windows 98, select Start ➙ Settings ➙ Control Panel .
2 Double-click the System icon.
3 Click the Device Manager tab.
4 Click the plus ( + ) icon before the Universal Serial Bus
Controller item.
If you see a USB host controller and a USB root hub listed,
USB is probably enabled. If your printer is connected through
another USB device or hub, connect your printer directly to
the USB port on the computer. Also, make sure the cable
connections are firm. (USB hubs are hardware devices into
which you can plug multiple USB cables.)
If you do not see these devices listed, refer to your computer’s
documentation or contact the manufacturer for more
information on enabling and setting up USB. Remember, you
can always use a parallel cable to connect your printer’s
parallel port to your computer.
Note: The HP DeskJet 840C Series printer is automatically
set as the default Windows printer. If you find that it is not the
default Windows printer, go to “Setting the HP DeskJet Printer
as the Default” on page 26.
