Probably moved you up a number for your USB adapter. Go into WIN96 settings and change the COM Port up one number and see if that works.

Ok, you have a conflict going on between the two devices that are trying to use COM 3 at the same time. Disconnect the printer, then start WIN96 and connect the cable to the scanner. Then re-install the printer and it should find a new COM PORT now since your scanner is now using COM 3
