usb printer
LockedHi all,
I just bought an epson multi function printer and every time I try to install it it installs the software and everything and when it gets to the screen where it says now plug the printer into the usb port so the program can configure the port it comes back printer not found. I have 4 usb ports on my comp and I know they all work fine because I have other usb appliances and I plugged the modem which is working fine into each of the 4 ports and it worked fine on all of them. I though it might be a faulty cable so I used the printers usb cable on my modem and it worked fine. So I called epson tech support and of course they told me it was a problem with my usb ports and not the printer. The printer does print as I was able to print a test page by pushing a button on the actual printer so I know it works. I think this must be an issue with windows xp but I have no idea how to fix it.
I am running on windows xp home edition
If anyone knows if or how I can get my usb printer working please reply. Thank You
