Your computer may have Usb1.1 support and the printer requires USB 2.0.If so you can buy A USB 2.0 PCI Card Fairly cheap at EBAY Canada.

How can you tell if you have USB 2.0?

Right-click My Computer
Click on Properties
Click on the Hardware tab
Click on the device Manager button
Scroll down as needed until you see Universal Serial Bus Controllers
Expand that by clicking on the boxed plus sign in front of Universal Serial Bus Controllers
At this point you should if you see something like, "Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller". While the exact text may vary, the key is the word "Enhanced".
If it's "Enhanced", it's USB 2.0. If it's not, then it's USB 1.x

You would need to add the card.Sorry response 6 .I am saying you need new hardware ie.. A USB 2.0 PCI card or USB 2.0 Hub.Both are very low cost.
