P2B-DS, WIN XP, USB printers


I am trying to hook up two USB printers to my small office server built on a P2B-DS w/dual PIII 500's and Windows XP. A USB mouse attached works perfectly, but not the printers. They are a Brother HL-1650 and an HP 990CXi. I have tried several different cables. The symtoms are this: the OS recognizes the printers and they are listed as 'ready'. When printing a test page the document shows up in the printer queue with the status 'Printing'. This very quickly changes to 'Error - Printing' and then 'Error - Restarting'. The document never does print and when it is cancelled the printer status switches to 'offline'. With two different printers and four different cables, I am beginning to suspect the motherboard. The BIOS is rev 13 beta 7. Does anybody have any ideas? Thanks in advance for any assistance!
