Brother HP-1440 will not USB to R7000P
I have followed all instructions. I cannot get my HP-1440 to connect to routers USB port.
the USB light will not come on. The port works with other USB devices. And yes I have followed the manual. The problem is router will not recognize the printer.

Holy cow. I was looking up manuals for that device and everything i found (brief search) was in french so it was a bit challenging to find much.
But what I did find says that was released in 2000 and was for windows 95/98/2000.
It still has a serial port on it.
I'm not sure if you could get that working as for the printer utility to work, it has to have a driver installed on the pc you're using.
Not sure if your pc has those OS's installed or if the printer utility even works on them.

Its probably time to update the laser printer. Most decent ones have an ethernet port on them that tends to work a lot better.
Thanks I am using windows 11 pro. Also, unfortunately the drivers are imbedded in the printer. You are most likely right, I may have to replace it. Hate to, because the printer works great and ink lasts forever.
If it still works connected to a computer, then I'd just connect it to windows and let windows share it on the network
