As the lyric goes..."this could happen to you..."
Nothing about riding trains, but all about trying to synchronize an iPod with a USB connection while your printer is ON and also connected via a USB port.
Kept getting USB Device not Recognized.
Hours on the tech support phone, iPod and Dell, neither one fixed it or came up with the solution. The last guy wanted to consider reinstalling WINDOWS, which is like starting out back in diapers. Declined.
Then something I fleetingly read in one of those troubleshooting, self-help messages made me think that the printer can draw too much power from the USB controller, and then the other ports don't work.
Spot on.
Moral.
If you're trying to synchronize your iPod, keep the printer off unless you're a small power plant.
That, or make sure that anyone who enters your house is Microsoft certified. Might add more time to your Saturday. Come to think of it, that's a great test for any persons who might be trying to become future members of your family. My luck, so far, they're not.
