Hi, perhaps not strictly a 64bit question, but does anyone know why turning
off my printer (HP) triggers a warning that USB Mass Storage has been
removed prematurely?

Regards, Tony. . .

If your printer has a card reader, then make sure you click on the "safely
remove hardware" icon in the system tray. Then turn off your printer. The
card reader is a mass storage device.

Ah, yes of course! How logical - and how inconvenient!

Great many thanks Bill, I can sleep quietly henceforward.

Hi, Tony.

Slightly more inconvenient - but perhaps helpful in your case...

In Disk Management, right-click on the USB "drive", then click Properties.
On the Policies tab, you can choose between Optimize for quick removal and
Optimize for performance.

I've not been able to figure out exactly what this does, but you might try
whichever one you've not been using for each device.

I suspect if determines how frequently the write buffer is flushed to disk.

Yes - YEs - YES! That sounds good. I've gotten used to following procedures
when removing the key-ring drives, and it doesn't bother me any more - but
powering down my printer? that is a bit over the top. A one-time
inconvenience. . .I will certainly look in to this, and greate many thanks
to you R.C.!
