I don't have access to another computer. What could the printer possibly be doing if it is powered off? I would suspect a bug in the OS. Nothing short of a physical breakdown should cause the OS to crash or freeze. I just don't know how to circumvent this problem or how to pursue it with MickeySoft.

You said it, buddy... physical hardware fault. I'm thinking your USB interface on the printer is fried.

Sounds logical. Is there anything I can do about it? I can't spend much money. I don't use the printer that much, but it's an all-in-one that is pretty handy.

Warranty repair? Other interfaces, such as a parallel port?
