Solve : Printer prevents computer from booting up?

1.	Solve : Printer prevents computer from booting up?
Answer» My friend has a Dell desktop (not sure which model- 4000 something?) Anyway, when the printer is plugged into the computer Windows will not BOOT up. Unplug the printer and all is well. If she plugs it in after booting up, printer works fine. Any ideas? Thanks!!!What kind of printer is it please? USB or parallel port connection?You need to post a lot of details. See below.I have this issue as well with my sisters USB flash disk/ MP3 player and my Sonny Erriccson w810i. If im correct Chati does the computer jsut keep going in a cylcle of booting up, crashing, booting up?!?! ChrisI get the same problem with my Mac (gasp Zylstra555 has a Mac!) What I do is quickly unplug my USB DRIVE, and plug it back in. Just enough time for it to get past the starting phase. Try plugging in your printer AFTER your computer has started...
