I have recently been asked to install printer for a client. The installation guide tells me that I need to re-configure the configration files so that the printer will run through the USB port. How do I do this?

Some OSes are not compatible with USB devicces? Are you using WinNT or Win95? If either of those it may not work (depends on the version of Win95 too).

Basically for a USB device to work, one must boot into the system BIOS (Press F2 to enter setup or whatever your computer suggests for entering into the BIOS), and make sure that USB is enabled. You can also check in device manager to see if at the very bottom, you have Universal Serial Bus (USB) drivers installed.

You should then be able to connect the printer and install it with the floppies or cd that was provided with the printer. Or you may be able to download the drivers from a website.

If you are having a problem with any of this, you should post what the problem is.
