Interesting.  I have a different Plustek, an OpticPro 4831, and haven't had
the problems you describe.  You might try disconnecting the other devices
and see if the problem persists.  If it's OK, reconnect 1 of the devices,
say the printer and see what gives.  That way you'll narrow it down to see
if it's a contention problem.
