   My Windows XP computer has gradually been losing its connection with   
   USB drives and the printer, and now seems to have lost contact   
   altogether.   
      
   Other USB devices, like mouse and keyboard work OK.   
      
   For a while rebooting would make it possible to communicate with USB   
   drives, and would cause stuck printer pages to print, but now on   
   rebooting it shows the printer as offline, and even if I switch it to   
   online, it does not print.   
      
   Any suggestions?
