| 72269 | 2002-08-19 02:30:00 | I resolved my problem with the digital camera (posted 11/8). Finally twigged that my printer was using the USB port that the camera required. All very fine the camera works as it should. Problem is now I cannot install my printer to work from a two port USB card I installed. I can plug the printer into the PC's original USB port and it works happily. Plug it into the card and nothing happens. Not a real hassle as I can just swap camera and printer around. But would be nice to have the printer running out of it's own port. Any suggestions. Note that the camera has to be plugged into the PC's USB port. |

| 72270 | 2002-08-19 03:45:00 | It appears that some USB port cards appear as a hub, and not a true port. A hub is like a downstream splitter for USB Some USB equipment does not like working off a hub, and will only be recognised and work off a true port. This seems strange as a PCI 2 port hub card should present itself as 2 ports. It could be a conflict on the card of course, have you looked in control panel - system - hardware - device manager for any yellow conflict exclamation marks? I have the issue with a CF card reader, wont work via a hub, but printer does. If you look on Google I think you will find this is a problem though, not just for you. |
