USB printer restarts computer
LockedI recently received a HP PSC 750 USB mulitfunction printer. When I first installed, everything went ok; Windows recognized it and I the software installation was fine. However, right after the installation was done the computer restarted itself and ever since then it will restart continuously until I turn the printer off or unplug it from the USB port. Whenever I plug it back in or turn it on it immediately restarts the computer. HP’s website tells me its a power issue, which makes sense to me,but I’m not sure. Device manager tells me my USB Root Hub is self-powered and has 500mA max power available, so that should be plenty. I am running Win2k on an HP Pavilion 6545c (500Mhz celeron; 810 chipset). If anyone caould give me advice on what the problem is and what to do I would greatly appreciate it.
