I have an HP a1230n computer running XP MCE, together with an HP PSC
2210 All-in-one printer connected thru USB.
With the printer connected at boot time, the computer refuses to boot. The
boot sequence just does not start, no XP splash screen or nothing.
If I disconnect the printer, or simply leave it connected and power it down,
the computer boots OK everytime. I can then connect the printer and it will
work perfectly.
I'm running the latest printer driver.
Any ideas?
 
if your pc is an older model, it might have usb 1.0 ports which will produce
this error,if this is the case then the only solution is to get a usb 2.0
expansion card.
