First, be sure to un-install all the old drivers and programs installed originally with the printer.  Then download and install the latest drivers for the printer.  Then, plug it into a different USB port than the one used before.  Usually works.

It depends on the printer. Some are serial, some are parallel, some are USB, some can do more than one of these. Check the manual for your printer to see what device types are specified.\n\n(Note to Macrophage: serial printers used to be quite popular because you could run the transmission cable further than with a parallel printer; the advent of networking made this less relevant.)

I had a bunch of trouble from a USB 1.0 Hub being used in USB 2.0 Ports. First thing make sure it is USB 2 hub and then make sure the hub is plugged into the BACK of the computer (motherboard) not the front panel which goes to motherboard headers.

Why do you need to know your connection to install a printer.

could be an issue with the USB connection. remove savely that printer from the PC, reboot the PC (without connecting the printer) and when the PC is running again, plug in the printer - maybe this solves the problem.

******IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A DISK\n\n1) Connect the printer cable to the appropriate port on your computer according to the printer manufacturer's instructions. \n\n2) Plug the power cord of the printer into a wall outlet and turn the printer on. \n\n3) Open Printers and Faxes. \n\n4)Under Printer Tasks, click Add a printer to open the Add Printer Wizard, and then click Next. \n\n5)Click Local printer or stand-alone network printer, clear the Automatically detect and install my Plug and Play printer check box, and then click Next. \n\n6) Most computers use a parallel port (LPT1) to send information to a printer that's directly attached to the computer. So in the Use the following port list, click LPT1: (Recommended Printer Port), and then click Next. Some plotters, however, may connect to the computer through one of the serial (COM) ports. If that's the case for you, click one of the serial (COM) ports. \n\n7) Follow the directions that appear. \nWhen you are finished, the printer appears in Printers and Faxes. If you want to print a test page, first make sure your printer is turned on and ready to print.

Printers usually have one of two types of connections:  parallel and USB.  Most printers in the past 3 to 5 years use a USB connection.  There is a big difference in the way they look.  USB connections on the printer are typically the square "B"-style connector and connects to the PC using a rectangular "A"-style connector.  \n\nParallel is about 2" wide by .5" high shaped like a "D".  It connects to the PC using a 25-pin "D"-shaped connector.  99.99999% of all PC's since the early 80's have a parallel connector.\n\nIf you do not own a cable, you can purchase either type (USB or Parallel) at your local retailer, or on-line at hundreds of computer retailers.\n\nThe make/model of the printer should be on the printer somewhere.  Visit the manufacturer's website and download drivers appropriate to the make/model.  If instructions are available, download those as well.  Some printers require the driver to be installed before the printer is connected, others can be installed regardless of if the printer is connected or not.  If the instructions are avialable, make sure to grab them.  Otherwise a good rule is to install the drivers first, then connect the printer.\n\nFinally, some drivers do not actually configure the printer for you.  You need to do it manually (Start -> Settings -> Printers -> Add New Printer), but the wizard is very simple and straightforward.

Restart your computer with your printer already on. If that doesn't work, re-install your printer drivers, be sure to follow the directions exactly.

It sounds to me as if your USB device is bad.  It's probably drawing way to much power from the USB port, causing the computer to crash.  Does this PC have SP1 loaded?  If I remember correctly, USB didn't work well at all before SP1.  \n\nAlso, does this same thing happen with other USB devices, or only that one?  If it's just that one, that should tell you something.

That particular printer connects to the computer by way of a parallell cable. The parallell port on the back of your computer is shaped like the monitor port, but it is longer. Go to Start > Control Panel > Printers. Double-click Add New Printer, or select it from the list on the left side of the screen (in Windows XP). This will start the Add New Printer Wizard. If your printer is not listed (it should be listed if you have Windows XP), or if you have the installation CD for the printer, click Have Disk and install that driver and software.\n\nWhen the installation wizard tells you to, connect the printer to the computer. Then, finish the installation, and you should be ready to print.
