What brand model of printer is this?

Usually you have the printer disconnected, install the printer driver and then connect the printer afterwards.

Tell us the brand and model and we'll find the driver for you.

Hp p2035
Try the cable from another similar printer which works.
Go here https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-laserjet-p2035-printer-series/3662025 and get the drivers.

With the printer disconnected install the software and then reconnect the printer afterwards.

You may have to specify your Operating System but HP may actually detect it.
Disconnect any USB device from PC
Open Device Manager.
Double-click Universal Serial Bus Controllers to expand the list.
Right-click the first USB Root Hub in the list, then select Uninstall. Click OK to confirm.
Continue uninstalling all USB Root Hubs listed.
Close Device Manager and restart the computer.

Make sure you've detached printer cable to USB port,  install the printer driver, Attach the printer cable to USB port when driver software asks for it.
If the cable is good then the printer has malfunctioned.

Make sure the printer is not connected to the PC VIA USB port.
Go to Device Manager
Click Universal Serial Bus Controllers
Now connect the printer via USB
Check which item is added to Serial Bus Controllers. for example: USB Printing support.
Right click on it.
Click Uninstall
Then Reboot computer while USB cable  is inserted in USB port.

hdhondt's comment suggests faulty printer and also a factory reset of printer.

This appears to be the best answer of all suggestions.
