Hello, I think the computer does not see the printer itself initially, all the above operations should not affect this problem! ///Try to change the USB port.If the printer is connected through an adapter through an adapter, it does not see it, probably because of this (maybe).In the photo I plugged the printer and it saw it (I have a Mac mini)
