When I connect the printer through the usb port the following message appear "USB Device Not Recognized-One of the USB devices attached to this computer has mulfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it.". My operating system is Windows Vista Home Premium-32-Bit.

Usually usb device not recognized is due to damaged usb cable or usb port..use a different usb cable and connect it to your pc, if your usb cable is ok then connect it to a different usb port. if the problem in not with the usb cable or port install driver from the cd you got with camera. if you dont have that cd download driver from the device manufacturer site.

Hi.there might be a damaged on your usb itself or usb port because it will not be recognized and read by the driver.

Hello and Welcome to FixYa!
The error you quoted can be due to multiple reasons. Following are some main Possibilities, that you should keep in mind.

Make sure, the USB port, you are inserting data traveler in, is in working condition. And you are connecting the device properly.
This could happen due to Software conflict, for this you need to remove all the devices connected to USB ports (other than keyboard, and Mouse) and need to restart the system.. Moreover, you can check for the exact error, in the device manager list...
Try checking the data traveler, on some USB port, on which you are sure, that its working properly.
Check for the possibilities, quoted above and do let me know....
Concerned.

there are drivers needed for this item you may need to download them also re install your usb drivers an attach to a different usb port not thru a hub.
