I'm pretty sure I read an Epson document that mentioned do not connect Firewire and USB 
together for possablity of damage. Or it could have read not connecting two computers at 
the same time to the Epson 4000 via USB and Firewire. 

But in any case there really is no need to connect both at the same time. USB will send data 
faster than the printer can use. Firewire is about 40x faster than USB, it would be great if 
the printer could work 40x faster.
