Win98SE - problem with USB printer
Would appreciate any advice on this....
Recently installed this X73 --- what a pain. Bombay tech support only made matters worse - no help - gave me bad info. The website is not much better. Finally got it installed by following advice from newsgroups... Anyway..... now that it's installed it works fine. But when I shut off the computer and then power up again with the USB cable connected, I get a communication error. When I unplug USB and power up the computer, then at the desktop plug in the USB, it works fine. I'm not that up on USB but never had this problem with any other USB devices. Camera works fine either way. My first thought is that there is a conflict somewhere. But not that sharp on computers to troubleshoot it. Any help would be appreciated! John |

Win98SE - problem with USB printer
"Andrew H. Carter (Applied ROT 17 Left, for Email do 17 Right)" wrote in message . ..
Try going to System Properties Device Manager (WIN+Pause Break) and on the Device Manager tab look for the USB printer and uninstall/update the driver. Look for any conflicts: WIN+R (type) HWINFO /UI (enter) Thanks very much -- I have uninstalled, reinstalled and updated the driver and the problem remains the same - no better or worse - which is, as long as I boot the computer with the USB cable disconnected, then connect it after Desktop appears, all is fine. Otherwise cannot communicate with printer. At HWINFO /UI, there are no errors listed in red. Below is from HWINFO /UI, if gives any more info....
