Possible faulty interconnection, I/O connector on back of computer could have a intermitting connection.
Try disconnecting the cable at card connector and look for pins that are pushed in. Also just reseating the cable may cause it to work in the event there was a interconnecting conductivity issue. Do the same for the connector and cable on the printer side.

This connects computor side by USB. On the other end it is a three pronged plug, and the rpongs are large enough so as not to miss the prongs |

Try each and every USB port, front and back.
Secondly if you have access to another PC install the software along with the cable and printer and see what happens

No gun Craig, turn it in when I left the job. But thanks anyway. I am wondering if I have a print spooler that fills and wont empty even I caNCELL the jobs when the printer doesn't work.
It just printed a test page just fine. D'oh

one drastic thing you can do when all else has failed....
is to go into your printer files and delete them all
As long as you have the working install disk available that is
then go into control panel-> system, device manager >
scroll down to printers, and find yours... and then delete it...
now your ready for a fresh install but first, you reboot with the
printer disconected [of course] and see if it shows up on the list
which it should not....
make sure all printer files are gone... not your documents!
just the files that run the printer,,,so you'll have no conflicts
then plug it in and reboot to rediscover it or go to control panel
and click the add new hardware....same difference,
and when it asks for a CD rom
re install the drivers using the disk provided ....then reboot
so everything done is SOLID ....and go from there... testing
