First, learn to spell. I had to run that through my Chi decoder to understand it.
It's either BIOS settings or a hardware problem. It might be that your hard disk is not rotating.

if you unplug all other USB devices and have just the USB printer then does it boot up fine? (im wondering if maybe having loads of usb devices at startup draws too much juice?)

maybe it takes ages searching for USB devices. My dell took around 10 seconds looking for bootable USB keys which annoyed me so i turned it off in the BIOS. Maybe you have a similar issue?
