I’m trying to install a printer on a specific USB port.
We have a labeling application called Codesoft. It requires each label have a printer port specified in the individual label file. (No, that’s not how I’d do it either.) We have several hundred labels coded to output to USB2.
The original printer died and I replaced it with an identical model. However, Windows XP SP2 considers it a new device and goes through the driver installation process again. WXP insists on installing it on USB3, regardless of which one of the five available USB ports I connect it to. The Ports tab on the Printer Properties dialog box does not show a USB2 port, just USB3 and USB1 (in use by different printer make and model).
Windows can print to the USB3 printer, but the labels don’t print because they trying to come out on USB2, which has no device attached.
How can I reassign this printer to USB2?
