Issues with my HP LaserJet 1020

I am currently dealing with an HP LaserJet 1020 laser printer, and I suspect the root of the issue lies within the
software layer. My computer has ceased recognizing the hardware entirely; specifically, it identifies the unit as an "unknown device."
Despite our efforts to install the most recent drivers and testing the connection across two separate computers,
the results remain identical—it simply refuses to function, consistently reporting that the printer is offline.
Is there any viable way to resolve a technical failure of this nature?

much appreciated

Swap out the USB cable

I’ve taken that exact same approach myself

Does anyone happen to know??

I have an HP7360 that was working fine, but after sitting idle for about a month, I turned it on and all it does is make a buzzing sound before stalling out. Has anyone dealt with this, and is it actually worth taking it to a repair shop?
