I have a new computer I just bought last month with xp
pro on it and my computer will not boot to windows when
my usb printer is on. If I turn the printer off it will
then go to windows. I am running a 2.66ghz p4, 1gb ddr,
120 gb hd, xp pro. Have any suggestions?

Rt click MyComputer>Select Prop>Hardware>Device Manager. Look for USB
devices and try to uninstall as many as you can. Disconnect the Printer.
Restart and let WinXP reinstall the USB drivers. Install the Printer
Software and then reconnect the printer.
