EV> TW> That is very strange as I have a similar setup on he Wifes XP
EV> TW> machine and it rembembers it has a USB printer

EV>Hey! Tom, Strange things happen all the time where I live.

EV>The XP box doesn't lose my USB AIO's settings when I have the AIO shut
EV>off, I turn it on when I want to print something, the job gets done,
EV>then I turn it off until I want to use it to Print or Scan something at
EV>a later time.

EV>The AIO is a Epson Stylus NX430.

Rembember that turning on a electronic device is the MOST stressful
part of it's life. Doing what you do is shortening the life of the
printers electronics. IF you are worried about power consumption that
printer has a sleep mode so over all it's power consumption when not
printing after going to sleep is only a few watts.
