XP Does Not Create A USB Virtual Device When Installing Epson Photo R300
Windows XP SP2
USB2.0 Printer works fine on other XP and MacOS X systems. When installing an Epson Stylus PhotoR300, the system detects a USB device but then errors out with a message that says there was a hardware installation failure, "the specified port is unknown". Reinstalled USB drivers and removed all old printer drivers. Downloaded the latest printer driver from Epson and even contacted their tech support who said it was an OS issue. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

XP Does Not Create A USB Virtual Device When Installing Epson Photo R300
Yes, I installed a usb DVD recorder and it works fine. I did also try
changing the cable, but the same error occurred. Thanks for the reply, any other suggestions? "Cari (MS-MVP)" wrote in message ... Do the USB ports work correctly with other USB devices?
