| 758878 | 2009-03-31 16:18:00 | Interested to see this one (while looking for something else entirely). My HP Deskjet F2100, plugged permanently into the same USB port (on a hub) regularly disappears and has to be "reinstalled". I'm up to Copy 12 now (in the space of about two years). So maybe it's not just a problem of changing ports. Maybe some (dirt-cheap) printers (or some [free gift] USB hubs) are just cantankerous like that. Since I don't use the home printer often and the reinstall only takes about five minutes - when I can find the CD immediately :) - I haven't bothered to seek a solution to the problem; but I'd be interested to know if anyone can suggest one. My laptop also runs XP Pro, BTW. |

| 758879 | 2009-03-31 21:28:00 | Same issue here. HP Printer, Xp home sp2, USB port on pc, up to copy 9 last time I checked, and only the latest copy works. Only difference is that it doesn't ask me for the driver cd every time. | Corporal Hawke (14743) | ||
