Returning from hibernation in Win XP with USB Printer

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers,microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

My usb printer [hp3550] always fails when returning from hibernation. It
seems to leave an 'unknown' device in the USB device section of Device
manager.

Has anyone else seen this? I believe I also had the same problem earlier
with a Panasonic KXP 7100.

Thanks

I've heard several reports of this problem. I have my laptop on a small
home network, with printers on the other two computers, all with WindozeXP,
and don't haver that probem even though I routinely use hibernation instead
of rebooting. You might consider setting up a network with the printer on a
print server. I believe some routers and switches now have print servers
built in, although I'm not sure I've seen a wireless one with that.
