I recently bought a new Canon PIXMA x300. It installed fine, but I began getting error messages stating I can get better speeds by plugging this device into a high-speed USB 2.0 port.
All my USB ports are 2.0 as is my USB hub.
Canon said it was my USB cable. I purchased a new 2.0 printer cable. Still the same error messages.
A phone call to Canon support said that I have to keep the printer plugged directly into my laptop and not the hub. But, if it happens again, I should just turn off the printer and reboot.
It happens sporadically when plugged directly into the laptop.
This is really annoying. Should I just return the printer?
Or is there a fix around this?
I use XP, SP2. And, I’ve kept my Windows updates current.
Thanks.
