You know, I've seen a single USB port go bad on a printer. In that case, windows could not recognize the device. Does the printer have a Parallel Port option? If yes, try that, see if it works. If not, try a different USB cable, Try plugging it into a different USB slot on the PC.

You love it really ash! :p

I had this same problem and I plugged the USB into a different slot and everything was fine.

Go on to the site of the company that supplied your printer (e.g.Epson - Exceed Your Vision), go to the tab that says Downloads, Download, ect. ect., look for a menu labeled drivers, find your printer model and download it
Right-click My Computer, go to Properties, Hardware/Driver manager Tab at the top
Go to the driver with an exclamation (!), select it. right-click > properties > Update Driver > find the file that you downloaded and press OK.
