TIR + Printer = Freeze

Post by Charlie251 »

NP: Just found an issue with TIR version 2.0 public release version.

It seems that I cannot run the TIR software and have my printer on at the same time. They both work perfectly when the other isnt on, but the system freezes if I turn one on while the other is on.

I have an Epson Stylus Photo 785EPX. It is a USB printer, plugged into a PCI USB 2.0 card. The TrackIR is plugged into a USB 2.0 off the mobo. I tried to put the TIR on the PCI card and then Printer on the mobo, but it has the same effect.

Is there something that the two are trying to share?

have you tried plugging the trackIR into another USB 1.1 or 2.0 port on the motherboard?

Yes. I rotated the printer and the TrackIR unit in and out of the 1.1 / 2.0 USB ports. Ive put them both on 2.0, both on 1.1, one on one and one on the other and vise versa. Regardless of the combination, it continues to hang the system as soon as I turn one on with the other already running.

Everything works fine as long as I only have one on at a time, but its annoying when I forget and fire something up and everything hangs.
