USB Device driver for WinXPe

[Guest]

I have a question and hope that somebody out there can help answer.

From what I have read and was told, that Windows XP Embedded contains the
exact same binary files as Windows XP. That is to say, whatever works on XP
should works on XPe.

Now, my problem is that I have a USB Modem and a HP USB printer and both
device can plug and play in WinXP. However, when I attach both device to XPe,
XPe detected the device and ask the drivers. I gave XPe the same driver I
gave XP, but XPe keep giving me error, "Driver cannot be loaded".

I really appreciate if somebody can help explain why is this happening.

Thanking you in advance.

Hi Jeffrey,

Do you have:
Component "USB Printing Support" included in your project?
Also make sure that all files from your custom component are actually copied to inf, system32 and drivers folders.

Add Device Manager and use it to check if all your hardware pieces are working with appropriate drivers. Alternatively you can check
this in setupapi.log or trough devcon.
