After removing the print drivers have you tried installing it manually  
using Vista until the point it asks for some?

Oh and just to prove XP isn't as fantatic either for some reason if the  
Print Spool service is left to automatic the computer won't log off or log  
in, switch to manual and then just start it after a log-in and it's fine.  
I suspect a USB driver fault, but setting the pulling off all that apart  
and hoping it finds it all again against just remembering one action for  
the few times this machine reboots it's a fault I can live with.
