what OS and computer and printer are being used? it may just be the com port got taken by another device recently installed
im using windows 7 with a prusa i3 i just finished building. Im hoping i dont need an avr programmer to boot the board. it came with a disc that had the arduino program on it, thought i could just hook it up and use arduinio selectring the right board. but i get usb error.

if trying to run multi printers from 1 computer Solidoodle blog page has info how. thats what they told me when I asked how they run 24 printers at once. main thing is have to asign dif com port to each printer when installed. anything that has an address (like com ports etc) has to have its own or it gets "return to sender" stamped on it ;P
Could be a counterfeit FTDI chip on the Melzi board:

Also, no need to start multiple threads on the same issue.

An AVR programmer is not required if your board already has a boot loader.
However if you bought a board that hasn't been programmed with a boot loader, the only way to load firmware into it is with a hardware programmer like that.
BTW, you don't have to pay $34 for something like that. You can get AVR programmers on eBay for as little as $5. Just do a search for AVR programmer.
