Well Brother Esau I think I know the cause of that problem, some usb products really poll the bus many times causing the cpu to kick up out off low power (c2, c3, c4, other special mode) mode causing it to consume a lot more power! I first saw this on my centrino notebook, so i never use usb stuff on my notebook any more when I'm on the go (even changed to a pcmcia bluetooth card with dma so it would not excess te cpu for everything it needs). You can check this with windows performance measurment program and than select c1,c2,c3 enz percentage time. It will show a difference in these modes when popping up. I guesse you will see almost no c2 and c3 time when running the epson.
