If this does not solve the problem, press the [Menu] key, and then change [USB Speed] in [Host I/F Settings] from [Auto] to [Full Speed]. Then, uninstall the software, delete the device, and launch [Quick Install for USB] again.

Double-click the System icon, and then on the [Hardware] tab, click [Device Manager]. Under [Other Devices], select the printer, and then open its properties dialog box.
