After you connected the unit to the PC, you did turn the printer ON didn't
you?

Yes, several times. For some reason the MS USB Print driver refuses to
install and doesn't recognize that there was anything plugged into the USB
port.

Is there another PC you can try to install the printer to so we can rule out
problems with the unit itself. l have had one Canon (out of many) blow its
power unit. No power to the printer and obviously nothing for XP to see.

The other thing you might want to rule out is a bad USB cable.
