It was a dumb blonde catagory error. e.g. PS won't recognise the USB printer if the printer wasn't on when PS was open. BTW, according to USB standards, it should. I usually leave the printer off unless I am going to print something in color (have a laser printer for B&W) to save ink.
Ciao, Graywolf< BTW, Epson printers clog up far faster if they are left on without printing. the heads are exposed and the ink dries out. when they are turned off, the heads are capped. i suspect that many other inkjet printers run this way too, although the replaceable heads in HPs appear not to be parked with a cap on them.
