Secondary montior freezes when USB printer is plugged in

Expand Post »

Hi all,

I am running into a problem with USB printer freezing up the 2nd montior (i have dual monitor) on a Win2K machine. The printer is HP LJ 1022. I've downloaded the drivers from HP site and reinstalled a couple of times. In the device manager, it was shown as 'Unknown Device". I was able to get printer to work by swtiching from oem.inf to usbprint.inf but as soon as the printer was plugged in (doesn't matter which USB port), the 2nd monitor freezes up. When plugging in, windows won't boot up all the way. Please help.
Thanks a bunch!
