| 474809 | 2006-07-30 12:20:00 | I'm trying to run a USB printer on an older computer with Win 98SE OS. Listed ports available for the printer don't include USB (only com1,com2 & lpt appear in the dialogue box) Can anyone tell me how to install this port please? A card with 2 USB ports is fitted and this appears to work ok as I'm using one of them with a flash key. Cheers George |
