Hi everyone,
On today's morning net I monitored that a member was having a problem
setting up a printer as a USB printer.
This is a common problem with setting up a printer, so I am broadcasting the
solution  to the membership.
Typically when you set up a new printer, the new printer software driver
does not automatically set it up as a USB port printer, it installs it as a
parallel port printer. To use it a USB port printer you need to open control
panel, open printers & faxes , look at properties and look for the printer
screen that lets you change ports. All you need to do is check USB port
virtual printer port and click ok and it should be set to go.
