Default USB port wont recognize my Printer

Does anyone know of any software that would conflict and not alllow my two
printers to be detected on the PC via USB ports?

My PC has no problem picking up my Scanner and my two Microsoft Joysticks
but will not pick up my Epson or my Hewitt Packard printers via USB ports I
have on my PC. Something either by way of hardware or software is
creating this problem?

Any body got any ideas. Id sure appreciate it.

Thanks for responding.

Yes I did. that is I did install the drivers before connecting the
printers. HP deskjets tell you not to connect the printer until prompted

Any event I figured it out. The scanner software was conflicting with USB
somehow. Once I uninstalled the Scanner software, and then tried to install
the printer software drivers for my Hp Deskjet, it installled no problem.
Go figure

I guess from now on, printers must be installed before scanners

Oh yeah , if interested, the scanner was a Visioneer 7600 Flatbed USB
scanner.

For many usb devices it is essential to install the drivers before
connecting the device.
