Suddenly, 3880 won't print from windows 11 PC

I have an 3880 printer, which I have been using on PC with Windows 11, and it has been working perfectly until this week. Suddenly, the computer and printer cannot communicate. I have reinstalled software (17589 driver), restarted both computer and printer, cleared print queue, changed USB cable. I am pretty sure the problem is not with the printer because I get a perfect nozzle check when I do it through the printer's menu. There is no error message. The printer shows up in the devices on my computer, but when I go to print, the status monitor is empty and prints don't begin. All suggestions appreciated.

Solved with the help of Epson and Ardito Business Machines, which repairs Epson printers. Bad USB port on the printer. I was able to hook up the printer with an Ethernet cable and now I am back in business.

This is the first time I've read a USB dongle being the culprit. Thanks for the follow up with resolution!
