Re: USB DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED

Sounds like I may need to do the same thing. I have a Dell Dimension 2350
with Windows XP Home edition. I have Service Pack 2 installed. I get the
"USB device not recognized" message when I insert any USB device while my
Epson Stylus CX 5800F printer is connected. However, when I disconnect the
printer, I have no problems with any other USB device. I had as many as 3
devices hooked up without the printer. All worked normally. Dell support
was no help for me. Do you think an internal PCI card will help me?

You probably have corrupt or wrong printer drivers installed. Get the most
current ones from the Epson site, uninstall the Epson drivers and reinstall
the most current ones...

I have already done that, but I still have the same problem.

I have done more research since my last posting and found that my printer is
"power greedy" and that an internal PCI card would work as Mark and Alex
suggested. I will post my results once the new card is obtained and
installed.

I received and installed the new card and the problem is solved. I am using
the PCI card exclusively for the printer. With this setup, I can use the
internal USB ports for my other devices without any problems.
