    Hi

    I think there is some BIOS options for USB you need to overlook, It might be anything from Legacy USB support to Disable USB support in DOS. Check your MotherBoard manual and find any options, check by disabling or enabling the same.

    Sorry for not being able to give you a clear picture .

    Hope it might be a good point to look for

    Have you looked at documentation for your printer?

    It should have power-on procedures which should eliminate the printer as being the cause of the problem.

    Had a similar problem with a printer with smart media slots like the Brother DPC110c. Apparently, depending upon the Motherboard BIOS settings, the system may be trying to boot from the USB device. Look in the BIOS settings for something that controls legacy USB or boot from USB device, turn that off, and you should then be OK.
