Slow Boot w/ printer off

[Drew]

I have a Canon i470D USB 2.0 printer attached to my computer
running Windows 2000.

When the printer power is off it takes much longer for windows 2000 to boot.
(it stalls about 2/3 of the way across the progress bar).

This printer has a built in compact flash reader which shows up under
my computer as drive E.

Perhaps windows is looking for drive E and it can't find it and eventually
times out?

Any suggestions? I'd rather not leave the printer on all the time.

It is mainly the motherboard that determines if the
drivers, whether 4 in 1, or other.

Do a quick few searches in Google with the
motherboard make and model along with the printer.
If, no joy, come again.
