Unplug the printer, go to Device Manager and remove the device from there if you can.

Now go to your Printers folder and delete the printer that is installed there.

Power down the machine, and the printer, unplug the USB cable.

Now boot the PC back up and log in.

Now turn then printer on and let it settle, then plug the USB cables back in.

You could also ... remove the Drivers & Software, then remove the USB Root HUB device, and reboot
reinstall drivers and software.

what he said :) only do a good search for left over files and delete before you try to reinstall, xp has been known just reinstall the old drivers without giving you a choice

Raistlin's advice sounds like it might be worth a shot.

Yeah - but remember here folks this happens on more than one PC, which puts the blame IMO on the printer and not the PC.

ok, remove any entries from the Registry that were left behind.
