My Cannon i560 works very sporadically. I just tried
completelly uninstalling, then re-installing. I printed
one document, then on trying another I got the
usual: "Eror writing to USBPRN01. Cannot access port."
When I look at properties, it tells me the USB pport is
not connected.

This is what Canon says about your error
Windows Me/98
In the printer's [Properties] dialog box, select the [Details] tab, and check the
[Print to The Following Port] setting.
When using a USB cable:
The correct port is the port where the name of the printer connected to the PC is
listed next to "USBPRNxxx" (where xxx denotes numbers).
If a different port is displayed, click the down arrow button, and select the correct
port from the list.
When using a printer cable (parallel cable):
"LPT1 Printer Port" is the correct port.
If a different port is displayed, click the down arrow button, and select the correct
port from the list.

See if Canon has an updated driver

Thank you for rapid response! However, been & done! I
should have mentioned, m/b, that I'm getting similar
problem w/ Kodak Easy-Share camera, can d/l pics, then
next time PC doesn't recognize camera. I've switched ports
a few times, works temp only; so, I'm thinking something
w/ USB ports, drivers...?
