USB printer not seen

Posted: 11-07-2007, 03:19 AM
For some reason my Canon i550 USB printer will not work. When I try to load
the drivers, I get a message the port is not found. I've tried in three
different USB ports on my Gigabyte GA-K8NS-Pro mobo running WinXP Pro SP2.
When I ran a hardware analyzer, it said the device was not enumerated. All
other USB devices work fine. Suggestions?

Install the software before connecting the printer to the PC. During the
installation process you'll be prompted when to connect it and when to turn
it on.

I hooked theprinter to my laptop and everything worked as intended. I'm
wondering if the BIOS might be at fault. My mobo supports 4 usb ports and I
have a usb / firewire card that supports four more. The printer has been
plugged into both the mobo and card ports. Other devices connected to these
port work as advertised - scanner, card reader, and external hd.
