    PhotoSmart C5200 Series Driver Problem.


    I am running Win 7 64bit Pro on GA-H170-HD3 Rev 1 MB (not DDR3) and i5-6600 Skylake CPU and 16 GB Ram, installed Feb 2 2016. This replaced GA-P45 MB and Quad 4 Intel CPU. The Win 7 64bit Pro OS was Cloned onto my SSD. System has been performing fine.
    I have a PhotoSmart C5280 All in One Printer, which was installed after that Hardware Upgrade and has worked OK until 24 Feb, when it started to do some strange things, which I was not able to correct, by changes to settings. In the end I decided to Uninstall the C5280 and perform a Reinstal, which I had done on a number of occasions previously, when it played up.
    Using the Latest HP Software and Driver from HP, the installation failed, with an Error that related to USB Drivers (This Computer does not have the necessary USB Software support to allow completion of USB Installation). I then opened Device Manager and the USB Element (HP PhotoSmart C5200 Series) shows in Device Manager, when the USB Cable is connected to the Printer, with a Coloured Warning. I checked Properties and selected Update Driver. Update Driver found the required Driver (HP PhotoSmart C5200 Series (DOT4USB) but encountered an Error and failed the Installation (The Extended Attributes are Inconsistent)
    I have had a Remote Session with HP; After doing all the things I had already done; They stated the problem has nothing to do with the Printer and it is related to my Computer Hardware.
    This supported by the fact that; The same Software and Driver successfully installed on our HP 650 Laptop running Win 10 64bit. Clean Install, No Issues.
    I have updated the BIOS, with latest from Gigabyte, with no improvement.
    I believe I have BIOS Settings set correctly; Legacy USB is Enabled. Cannot think of anything else.
    In the meantime I have a good Printer that is useless to me and not getting any real work done. Not game to buy another printer, being as it is a USB problem.
    I must mention, all other USB Devices that I use in the Rear USB Ports, do not have problems, Drivers Install and away we go.
    The only other issue I have is with the Front USB Ports, which I have not investigated as yet, but I do not that is connected to the Printer Problem; Its cable is in a Rear Port.

    Any Help would be most appreciated.

    Have you obtained and installed the latest USB drivers from Gigabyte? I see that you updated the BIOS, but did you do the drivers?

    Thank you for your comment, Please read the Third Paragraph. This was also performed by HP during a Remote Session, without success. Note; I forgot to mention I have also tried a New USB Cable.

    My current thoughts are that the HP PhotoSmart Software & Driver are in conflict with my new GA-H170-HD3 DDR4 MB. I base this on the fact that this HP Software Driver which shows up as a problem with USB Hardware is the only problem Drtiver for USB. All other USB Devices do not have a problem, they are recognised, the Driver installs and away we go. I cannot come to terms with happening. Even though the HP Tech who performed Remote Access and tried to install direct from HP stated that the problem was not with the Printer itself, I do not think he took into account the fact that the latest HP Driver may not be compatible with this later type MB. I did not encounter this install issue when the Printer was attached to my previous GA-P45-DS3 MB- I had reinstalled a number of times and all was fine. With this MB, contrary to what is in the Manual only has two USB Settings that can fiddled with "USB Mass Storage - Enabled and USB Legacy Support - Enabled". The Manual is also is published for GA-H170-HD3 DDR3 MB.
