I purchased a new USB cable here and for some reason it works on my Ubuntu laptop, but does not with my Windows Vista computer when I attach my EPSON CX8400 printer. I previously used another cable and that worked.
My Windows Vista computer keeps giving a pop up on the bottom right corner saying
USB Device Not Recognized, One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message.
Does anyone know if there is a driver you need to manually install that Linux already has?
2What's connected to the other end of the cable? Surely, Ubuntu does not think the air is a USB device. :P – iglvzx – 2012-01-26T07:25:40.107
Sorry, it is an EPSON CX8400 printer. BTW, I previously used another USB cable and it works going from printer to both Ubuntu and Vista computers. – O_O – 2012-01-26T07:58:58.573
FYI the previous usb cable was shorter than the newer one. (6' vs 10') – O_O – 2012-01-26T15:02:02.573
