The other day I noticed I couldn't print anything so I had assumed there was a problem with the printer, tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times and nothing worked. Today I tried to make it work again and came to realize it was a problem with the USB port. I checked out my other USB devices and none work. I have no idea how to fix this. I'm running winxp on a HP pavillion a206x. Any idea on what i should do? :whistling:

Just remembered, windows is recognizing the usb cable the printer uses but not the printer itself, it keeps saying unknown usb device in 2 of the 5 ports. In the other 3 ports it's not recognized at all. My other usb devices, a webcam and a digital camera/webcam are not being recognized at all in any of the usb ports.
