Printer probs pt II

[AirStrike]

do you have another cable to test with??? are your USB ports disabled in the BIOS?? easiest way to test is plug in an IPOD or USB Flash drive and see if that works.

If not then enter the bios, make sure the USB Ports are enabled, if they are, then well.... grab your wallet, 9mm and go to computer store.

Yeah getting another cable to try. Ports work fine with my iPod, my phone, flash drive, etc.

Oh here's a thought! Do you know if your computers ports are USB 1.1 or 2.0? If they're 1.1 or not at full speed it could be causing the issue (this can also be in the cable - the speed)... when you copy something to your iPod for example does it copy at a very quick speed (like instantly) or take a bit?

I think usb 1.1 is 12mbit or 1.5MB a second while usb 2.0 is 480mbit or 60mb a second

Motherboard, hence rear ports, is 2.0.

Yeah mate downloaded the newest drivers. I'll wait for the new cable and try cleaning it out but if its the same still time to try and find the receipt.

Have you previously installed any other printers on the PC? Go through device manager and ensure that there aren't any driver conflicts. While in device manager, ensure that the device is enabled for use, not disabled, and has no associated errors.

As per above, to remove drivers, go into Printers area > File > Server Properties > Drivers(tab) and get rid of any old/duplicate ones in there.

May not help, but will clean up either way.
