It may be even a card reader in your printer.Quote from: Broni on August 02, 2010, 05:41:17 PM<blockquote>Most likely. It may be even a card reader in your printer.<br/></blockquote>On my printer! That would be why then! But how can I get it to go away when there is no card in it? Because if I detach my printer, I can't print (obviously).Quote<blockquote>how can I get it to go away when there is no card in it</blockquote>You can't.<br/>I have all those ports listed too.<br/><br/>BTW, good job by Computer_Commando Quote from: Computer_Commando on August 02, 2010, 04:41:11 PM<blockquote><em>"OEI-USB CF/SM/SD/MS USB Device"</em><br/>It appears to be a card reader with no card inserted.<br/>CompactFlash/SmartMedia/SecureDigital/MemoryStick<br/></blockquote>Yeah, I would have never have put CF, SM, SD and MS together and get a card reader.Quote from: Computer_Commando on August 02, 2010, 04:41:11 PM<blockquote><em>"OEI-USB CF/SM/SD/MS USB Device"</em><br/>It appears to be a card reader with no card inserted.<br/>CompactFlash/SmartMedia/SecureDigital/MemoryStick<br/></blockquote><br/>I was looking to see if anyone said this. I had someone call me about this same issue a few weeks ago. She had some HP All-in-one printer with a card reader. Good call, CC.Yeah, mine's a Lexmark.

I still have an old digcam that uses CF cards. I have 2 <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/computers-21658" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about COMPUTERS">COMPUTERS</a> with internal card readers & an external one for other use. I forgot all about <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/printers-606115" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PRINTERS">PRINTERS</a> having them; my printer is an old HP LaserJet <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/parallel-244656" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PARALLEL">PARALLEL</a> port with a JetDirect (external PP to 10BaseT converter).<br/><br/>The interesting thing about card readers is you do not use the "Safely Remove Hardware" to remove the card or to remove the card reader if it's an external one. If you do, the device goes away and you have to <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/reboot-1179238" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about REBOOT">REBOOT</a> the computer or unplug and replug the reader from the mobo USB header. Just remove the card. Many TV's have card readers, too.</body></html> | |
