[CGUYS] USB Malfunction

2008-01-28 Thread Jay Montero
Can anyone tell me why on a Windows XP machine with a scanner, printer, and multi-card reader all on USB the printer loses connectivity from time to time? Also I noticed in Device Manager there are 4 USB controller though there are 6 USB ports. What is the relation?
