"Which USB DWG Classes does Microsoft support?

Windows supports several USB classes that the USB Device Working Group
(DWG) has defined.

Printing class 0x07 Usbprint.sys Windows Server 2008
Windows Vista
Windows Server 2003
Windows XP <---
Windows 2000
"

That means, if the printer follows USB standards, and has a class code
of 0x07, then the OS will install Usbprint.sys for you. That is a
built-in driver file, triggered when Class_07 devices are detected.

You may still need more software, but then, follow any additional
instructions that came with the printer.

If you had an older OS, like Windows 98, then there may be a
separate driver for that. As you can see in the above list, OSes
older than Windows 2000 don't have usbprint.sys .

The status of Windows 7 would be as good as Vista. So where you
see the word "Vista", you can substitute "Windows 7". The web page
has not been updated by Microsoft, for Windows 7.
