If reinstalling the driver software didn't fix the issue, I believe that the problem is on the cable connections of your Dell B1160W. You have to test the cable yourself if working properly. You may be required to change the power cable and USB data cable of your printer to fix this issue.
If you have more questions, please don't hesitate to ask here at HelpOwl. Experts here are always willing to answer your questions to the best of our knowledge and expertise.
