Hi Guys,
I have a printer connected to a USB port on one of my computers and it appears to be going bad. It doesn't recognize the device when I plug it in or when I take it out.
Device Manager says that the USB devices are all working normally. When I print, I get an error that the document failed to print. Initially, it said that the printer was offline, but when I selected "work with it online" it said the status was "Ready", but I still got the same error.
I was able to hook the printer up to another computer via USB and print just fine. Can anyone figure this out? Shouldn't Device Manager tell me that it isn't working?
By the way, does anyone have experience with these wireless USB print server things? It is a real hassle to have the computer on when I want to print to this printer from one of the other computers on the network.
Thanks....
