usb device attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it

[oldgunny]

When my computer comes out of sleep mode it tries to install pixma ip3000 printer driver again but fails.  Then I get the "usb device attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it."  When I try to use the printer it says the printer is offline and no matter what I do it won't come back on line unless I re-boot the compurter.  Everything is fine until it goes to sleep then it starts all over again.  Dell Precision T3600, Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.  Any help would be appreciated. - Thanks

Hello,

Try using a different USB port on your computer to see if this will help with the error.  It may be possible that there are issues with the current USB port.

I have 8 usb2 ports and one usb3.  I can get it to work on the usb3 but none of the usb2 ports.  Since this is an older printer you would think that it would work on usb2.
