5. Disable the bidirectional port
6. Repaired the xp machine through recovery console using chkdsk /r

Thank you Mr.MASQUERAID: &rexifelis: . The problem has been solved after changing the usb cable. Still i confused because that faulty cable i am using now with hp 1280 printer without any problem and its cable shifted to hp 3030 prblem printer. My question is if the usb cable issue how it is being detected ?? If the cable is faulty how it is working fine with 1280 printer ?? . Mr. MAsqueraid thank u for your kind and quick response and that option i already tried and before
Mr. Rexifelis reply it is ok.
Mr. Rexifelis reply it is ok.
the faulty (or just low quaility) USB cable is good enough to set up the device... but it cannot handle the amount of data that would go through it when it scans documents... but is good enough to print documents to your inkjet hp 1280. my recommendation is to not use that cable for anything in your office, to make sure it does not get mixed in with anything else and accidentally used for something that requires USB 2 speeds and causing problems again.
glad i could help!
