Does the cable light up once you turn on your computer? Or does it only turn on once the printer goes on?

Once your computer laptop etc is powered up it will light up on both ends without plugging it in a printer or any USB device

It's an anomaly with this printer. You have to reset it. Turn off for 5-10 minutes then turn on again. Might require you doing this a few times till it "takes."

Mine is connected to a desktop and when I secure the PC the USB goes off. When I start the PC the USB lights up and is active.

I believe that the light is on when its plugged into a powered on device, in a USB port receiving power. Then the light flickers consistently when you read/write data on the drive.

I have the same problem with this, as does my friend who also bought one. After we each sent one back we just figured it was a flaw in the printer and we just deal with it. It is a good idea to shut it off when you shut down for the day. It seems to stay connected for several hours before it loses the connection. I keep mine off until I am going to need it and when I turn it on it works fine. Not ideal but it avoids the frustration

yes my printer is constantly connected to my computer and does a very good job. It is nice when you can print and instant photo and I enjoy it. Hope this answers your question

The HP D7360 will turn on when a print demand is started. Once started the printer will stay on until it is powered off manually. There will be a period of noise during an initialization as the printer is made ready to print. Then the print job will be completed. Note" There are better printers for less money.

Try holding the off button several seconds to turn it completely off. Then restart your computer and then turn the printer back on. Hope this works for you. I can't wait til I can afford to buy a new one.

It is powered via the USB connection from your computer(s). It has worked great for my husband and I sharing two printers between our two computers.

The light comes on. Right now my computer is wireless. I think it came on when it was wireless. Not absolutely sure.

Yes, unfortunately it does not always come on which is weird. I have found that if I am using USB 3.0 it does not come on sometimes, but when I am using USB 2.0 it always comes on. I believe this is an issue with 3.0/2.0 compatibility as far as the computer telling the light to turn on or off. On a side note, I have never had any issues with it being on or off as far as performance or connecting. On another side note, the activity light is blue and is located where the slide is.

You need to do that in the printer controls in your computer. Or you can always just turn the printer off, but it will continue when you turn it on again.

you have to press the appropriate toggle switch to the corresponding computer you want to print from. It does not seem to detect it automatically.

Seriously, I couldn't find a lot of info on this printer. I do know it's a wireless printer, as so many are these days, but I'm pretty sure it is also a USB printer. Look at your printer, or check the manual. HP usually has information available on the web, in my opinion they are the best computer maker out there as far as product and support. If you decide you need a cable then by all means get the Mediabridge cable, it's a great cable at a great price and available through Amazon.

Good question. I just clicked mine a few times. There are three little light squares above the button. When I click the little light bulb button the light underneath this panel goes on and off. I suppose the lighted panel is there to let you know if the computer is on or off?

I'm having the same problem, attempting to troubleshoot. Printer keeps going offline and the only fix seems to be uplug it and plug it back in.
