    Have you installed/uninstalled any software recently? Have you recently reinstalled windows or updated any drivers?

    CF/SD Card readers work via USB as well, even internal ones, so that will be related to the original problem.

    I have the printers installed and you can see the icons but when you try to print, it says check the connections.
