there are several versions of the netgear wg111 (again guessing what you
have there since you have not stated it) and though they look alike they are
different and each have their quirks. the short answer is for you to just
leave your printer on all the time. you could try putting the netgear in
one of the rear usb port of your computer (model still unknown) as many usb
ports on the front of the machine are not powered the same as the primary
usb ports that are typically on the rear. you could disable power
management of your usb ports but that can result in other unexpected
behaviour (like external usb drives that never power down). you could
purchase an add on usb card in the system to see if it behaves better -
again, since you have not stated the model of the pc it is unclear if you
have usb 1 or even some sort of pre-usb 1 type usb ports in the pc and those
ports simply do not comply to usb standards. and you could express some
appreciation to any or all of the people that might potentially reply to
your question when you first state it or when someone takes the time to
reply. good luck.

Yes, the Netgear Wireless G card is a USB device, as mentioned previously.
The printer and wireless devices have been plugged into ports on both the
front and rear of the machine, at different times, and in different
combinations. The Netgear card is running the newest device drivers.
The printer/fax is set as "TAD", just isn't kept on if it isn't going to
be used. Mainly, the machine is used to send faxes, not receive.

there is a lot of things left out of your description that would be
meaningful to give a correct answer... ie, is the netgear wireless a usb
device? are the printer and wireless usb devices plugged into ports on
the rear of the machine, and what model machine there is... but i
suspect that if you update the drive for the netgear your problem would
be fixed. yet the really right way to fix it is to configure the
printer/fax correctly. sounds like you have it set to 'fax only' instead
of 'tad'/'telephone answering device'. it tad mode the fax machine can
always be left on and when a person or an answering machine picks up the
phone the fax machine will listen to determine if it is a fax calling...
and if it is a fax calling it will start receiving automatically. in
this mode the phone line ideally is connected from the wall jack to the
fax then from the fax to that answering machine and then the phone...
that way when the fax machine takes over the call is simply disconnects
the answer machine for the remainder of the call.

Hello,
So, I am having a heck of a time figuring out this computer problem.
(I'll warn you now, it will get a little long.)
Parents have an early 2005 model Dell Desktop (not sure of the model)
running Windows XP (1.6 P4 with 2 GB Memory). Had a HP PSC 750 all in
one printer hooked up to it. No problems. Decided to purchase a new
printer with fax capabilities (HP OfficeJet J4580). Uninstalled the HP
software from the computer, followed the directions to install the new
printer and software. Printer works fine. Connected via USB.
Problem is when the power is cycled on the new printer. Turn printer on
the first time, fine. Turn off, and then on again, printer still works
fine, however, wireless internet connection (believe it is a Netgear
wireless G USB card) drops the connection. Link light still on on the
card. Connection on screen goes to a red X, and no number of refreshes
bring it back. However, if you disable and enable the connection, it
will again pick up the network and back in business. However, cycle the
power, and it does it again. Checked HP for driver updates, and did
everything that was listed, but the problem hasn't changed.
Being that this printer is a fax on a shared line, it can't be on all
the time. Any suggestions?
John
