Yes, a damaged or poorly connected USB cable is a common cause. Try a different USB cable to rule this out. Ensure the cable is securely plugged into both the printer and the computer. Avoid using USB hubs, as they can sometimes cause connectivity issues. Connect the printer directly to a USB port on your computer.
