Permissions

[Michael Havens]

dad.... I just thought of something. I had my printer plugged into a USB
port and one day it stopped working. I don't know why I did what I did but
I changed the USB port it w\as plugged in to and it came back to life. I
thought the port had died but when I plug thumb drives into it mounts.
Moral of the story.... try another port for the card reader.
