In order to reinstall USB printers you need to install the USB drivers
first, then the printer drivers. If you have an HP printer they have a
clean up program that will clean out all the USB files so you can start
over. I am assuming that you just installed the printer drivers. You say
the software seems to think that no USB exists on the computer. If you move
the printer to a different USB port you need to reinstall the USB drivers
first. Look in device manager to see if the USB root is correctly
installed.
I had a big crash and needed to reinstall Windows 98 onto my Dell Inspiron.
When I started up, I get a small blue window that says "driver not found".
That might be a hint to my big problem. The computer no longer recognizes
that I have a USB port for my printers. Other USB devices I have seem to
work, but not my printers. I tried reinstalling the printer software, but
the software now seems to think that no USB exists on my computer. I ran
Dell Diagnostics, but it cannot sense anything is wrong. I don't know what
else to try. I really hope I won't have to buy a new cable and connect my
printer the old fashioned way instead of USB. Can someone help me? Thank
you very much.
