USB Device Not Recognized

Hello
I have a USB printer (HP1020) that doesn't work properly in WinXP.

At first I had WinXP Service Pack 2 and when I connected my printer into USB
port, I got the message "USB Device Not Recognized", then after several
tries and connecting it into different USBs, at last I got the message "New
Hardware Found" and I could install the printer's driver, and it sometimes
worked, but sometimes didn't work at all.

Then I searched on the internet for a solution to my problem. I found that
lots of people have asked the same problem from different professionals, but
nobody could give them a good solution.

I found that some of these people say they have WinXP SP2, so I thought
maybe the problem is with my Windows version, so I formatted my HDD and
installed a new version of WinXP Media Center. I could set up my printer's
driver properly, but the printer doesn't work at alll now. I know that the
problem is not with my printer and with its cable (because the printer is
new and it sometimes worked, and also because when I connect them to USB
ports the computer found that something is conected), I also know that my
USB ports are OK, because I tried a flash memory on all of them and all
worked OK (except the frontal USBs).

Now, what can I do to make my printer work properly?
My computer is a Pentium 4 3.0 GHz.
MainBoard: MSI 915PL Neo-V

And when I go to Control Panel> Printers and Faxes> r.c. HP 1020>
properties> ports
It shows that this printer is connected to "USB virtual port for printer".
When I go to device manager, it shows no USB virtual port for printer. (When
I went to Device Manger in my previous windows version (SP2) it showed a
printer USB between USB ports).

Now what can I do to make my printer work?
Thanks a lot
