I have an All in One Canon PIXMA MP190 printer, that attaches via USB. There isn't a driver for this one, so I have used both the mp180 and mp220 drivers (one below and one above the 190). It doesn't seem to matter which driver I use, but when the printer starts doing anything, printing or even just resetting itself or whatever, my desktop is unusable. I can't even move the mouse hardly at all while it's doing it's thing.
Is this a printer thing, a Canon thing, and/or USB thing? If others tell me they have certain brand printers that work and don't have this problem, only include them if they are basic printers, sort of all in one, and under $100.
Soo, anyone have ideas?

Above is when I added the printer, and then when done I turned it off. So, afaics, nothing relevant?
