If I can use a stored global setting I could do some more testing with different USB cables during boot to see if my computer finds the Virus.

I believe the settings are as you described, but because I'm always using the Virus with VC in a DAW, I'm always in sequencer mode on the Virus. So any settings changes I've made get persisted with the project file (Cubase project in my case). So the Virus configuration remains where I left it the last time I worked on the project.
When I read your message again, I think I scanned it too quickly the first time. If I understand correctly, your USB connection problems happen independently of whether you're actually making music with the Virus and are manifesting in ways that have nothing to do with the synth?
If that's the case I would try putting an external USB card in your PC to try to rule out something going on at the hardware level / motherboard USB ports. If you're on a laptop that's probably not such a feasible choice, although I've written a lot on this forum about why I don't like laptops for music making so that's a different subject I guess.
I guess you could always try the analog outs just to help narrow down what the Virus needs to actually do over USB, then if it still occurs, start to focus on USB as a potential hardware problem, repairing or getting repaired as needed.
If everything works fine with the shorter printer cable, it seems like just a cable issue.
Does the cable you've tried have a little cylinder toward one of the ends like this?:

All of the cables I've had good luck with have this feature -- it's some type of filter that dissipates noise.
