Do you think it can be the cable's fault?

The computer powering up and you having the drivers installed suggests a cable or as already mentioned the port on the back of the printer itself.

The above only if you have 100% correctly installed the required HP printer drivers and only connected the printers USB cable when prompted to do so.
 
Could you please give me a link to the driver? The only thing I found is this one I linked.
 
I had a busy time, couldn't really focus on fixing stuff. I'll probably have more time in weekend and today evening. I am sorry!
 
Okay, keep us posted and if you know that you will not be around for a while can you let us know so that you do not get asked for updates and/or your thread being closed due to lack of activity
 
Thank you. I feel like I have no option ot check the cable the other way than by taking it to the service. Would they be able to ceck the cable without taking a printer there. The printer is so big in się and I have no idea how could I takie it to the service. But I can take a cable alone.
 
So did you try uninstalling and then correctly installing the HP drivers, if yes, what happened.

The cable may be fine and as previously mentioned a couple of times it could be the printer port that the cable attaches to, this means that you will be none the wiser unless you take both the printer and the cable, if they try a new cable and the printer works you know it is the cable but if the cable does not work and you purchase a new one you could get home and find that the printer still does not work, borrowing a printer cable if you can is your best bet.

Fwiw, people have different circumstances and we understand that not everyone can go out and purchase new hardware but the printer concerned is so basic nowadays that they don't get fixed they get tossed in the trash as they are cheaper to replace than to repair.
 
Being that the OP revisited the forum but chose not to acknowledge my reply this thread will be closed.
