| 144346 | 2003-05-15 05:11:00 | Can anyone tell me if in practical terms the speed of a USB Printer is incresed by a computer supporting USB2 as compared to a computer supporting USB1. Thanks |

| 144347 | 2003-05-15 05:18:00 | In a nutshell: Nope! Quite simply the speed of a printer will always be printing at lower speeds than USB 1.x can push the data through :-) Cheers Chill. |

| 144349 | 2003-05-15 10:29:00 | It depends on whether the printer is USB 2.0 compatible. | mikebartnz (21) | ||
| 144350 | 2003-05-15 10:32:00 | I think what Chill means, is that the printer cannot physically print faster, than the info coming into it by the USB port. | Pheonix (280) | ||
| 144351 | 2003-05-15 10:39:00 | UNLESS (just to conntradic everyone ;-) ) you have large amounts of USB devices that are chewing up all the usb's bandwidth then going to usb2 could help. | tweak'e (174) | ||
| 144352 | 2003-05-15 11:16:00 | Well, If you're gonna buy a 4 way adapter for USB, then you'll suffer the consequences of going the cheap way with it... :-) |

| 144353 | 2003-05-15 23:24:00 | Thank you everyone. I have purchased a USB2 printer, and was just trying to find out if when purchasing a new computer, which I intend to do, it is necessary to purchase a printer with USB2 support. The one I am looking at at present supports USB1. |
