Of course, that was one of the first things I did, but had no luck. I did find 
mentions of similar situations (for different printes, so it's noot specific 
to my printer). But I didn't find a solution. In fact, in one thread, I found 
mention of a re-install solving the problem. And, as I wrote earlier, it 
temporarily solved my problem too. But:
1 - that's not a solution
2 - after about 2 days, the printer stopped working again

no - as I wrote, the printer does work for a couple of days and then I start 
getting the USB error messages

unfortunately, that's a bit beyond me. And again, I suspect the printer driver 
is not the problem, but that maybe USB is at fault.
