Minolta 1250W - have to reinstall frequenly need help

[Tom Duprex]

The other day I added Minolta Page Pro 1250W Laser printer to my system
using USB connection. I have two other printers on my system that have
been installed and working ever since installed. My problem with the
Minolta is that I end up reinstalling it frequently. When I shut down
everything is working fine. The next day when I turn on the system when
I attempt to print something out I get and error that says "There was
an error writing to USB001 for the printer [MINOLTA-QMS PagePRO 1]:
There was a problem printing to the port. Check to make sure you
printer is configured to use a valid port." The printer is plugged
into a USB port. I've tried refreshing from Device Manager with no
success. I move the usb cable to a different port and reboot and the
system recognizes the new location but says it can't install the
printer. So to get the printer to work I end up reinstlling it. I've
done this three times and there is a trouble or I'm doing something
wrong consistently.

I would appreciate suggestions to get this problem identified and fixed


One other thing: by reinstalling the printer several times I now have
several copies of the driver on my system. Where in the system menus
do I go to clean this up?


Thank you.

Have you tried changing the cable as well as just trying a different usb
port in the back of the computer.

To remove the excess printers go to the printers menu under the control
panel where you should get a list of printers, there you should have the
option to delete them.

It might be a good idea to remove all instances of the driver for the
printer before reinstalling it (once) and then trying a different cable.
