Sometimes it doesn't recognize the printer and no matter what I do it will not install. Other days I plug it in and it works fine. What gives? Tried plugging b4 and after boot. Sometimes installs a copy1 brother ptinter. Sometimes won't even respond to the usb terminal plug in. Anything else plugged in jump, ext hd, etc. are fine.

Also check the Event Viewer for any irregularities that happen around the same time -------------------- Mark why won't my laptop work?
