swith off your printer then look at the messages file, for example:
sudo tail -f /var/log/messages
then swith on your printer and see whether something meaningful comes up.
You can also see, what happens, when you plug/unplug the usb connector
of your printer.
Does your HP 4050 have an ethernet connection? If so, I would
recommend to use this.
Kind regards
Eberhard
