James

running windows 2000, recently bought a printer that uses a USB cable to
connect to the computer but the computer can naver find the printer.. after
searching thru available ports for a printer to run on all that is listed is
COM and LPT ports.

can anybody tell me how to make windows 2000 find a printer thru a USB port?
is it possible to buy adapters for USB plugs that can fit into the normal
printer ports ?

you may want to check usb is enabled in bios,and make sure you have loaded
the printer drivers,before u connect the printer.
