Network cables attached to Dell C3765dnf printer won't stay attached

We have a  Dell C3765dnf network printer that has a problem with the network cables easily detaching.

We have tried several brand new network cables and none of these network cables stay attached (even if the tab on the network cable is pulled out).

Currently the network cabled attached to this network cable has had to be taped in.

What can be done to fix this issue so we can tightly attach a network cable that won't become detached?

Good point, @nobus. I've had several occasions where the hook on the connector was broken, and I've never had a problem of keeping the connector in its socket. It would be a problem on a laptop, but a printer??

Of course, the same people who damaged the socket may also shove the printer around a lot...
well - i use for my pc Always one without the hook (so sometimes it comes out when i don't suspect it)
I would also inquire on what type of cables you're using. Some use much lower quality ends than others, even though the average cases ones SHOULD work (unless the obvious factor of a damaged socket has come into play). If you have a damaged socket, it's not worth the money to fix that directly, so the suggestions already made are what you should follow.
