As soon as I plug the usb cable from the printer in the computer the mouse and keyboard died. mouse led dead.

I must say it was all the time connected to the brand new hp printer.
Also a brand new usb cable.
I did not disconnect it from the printer to prove the cable.
 
sounds to me more like dead usb ports on the motherboard, not dead mouse/keyboard, have you tried them in a different port?

Only thing I can think of is an IRQ conflict between the printer and mouse/keyboard

From Wikipedia
In computing, an IRQ conflict is a once common hardware error, received when two devices were trying to use the same interrupt request (or IRQ) to signal an interrupt to the Programmable Interrupt Controller (PIC).
The PIC expects interrupt requests from only one device per line, thus more than one device sending IRQ signals along the same line will generally cause an IRQ conflict that can freeze a computer.
In some rare conditions, two devices can share the same IRQ as long as they are not used simultaneously.

So try uninstalling the printer from the device manager (right click My Computer > Properties) and then reinstall the printer again
