algae 0 Posted December 22, 2004 Can anyone help me to figure out how to get Windows NT 4.0 SP6a to recognize a USB printer. I am using USBtray 2.0 from insideOut networks and it finds our USB key drives easily and associates a new drive letter to access them. I am also trying to install a USB printer in the same way. The USBtray sees the printer and knows what it is. My problem comes in from the fact that I cannot seem to find a Windows NT driver for the printer so I cannot get the drivers installed first and I thought I would use the "add a printer wizard" and search for the correct port and printer, but I cannot seem to see any USB ports on the system. I know USBtray is working, but is there some way to get windows NT to recognize the USB printer port so I can search for the printer. Or does anyone know of a Windows NT driver that will recognize the 3745 printer and work basically (I don't need anything fancy). Ideas? Thanks, Lauren Share this post Link to post
peterh 1 Posted December 23, 2004 USB on NT4 is basically rubbish. Upgrade to Windows 2000 or XP instead and save yourself the hassle or replace the printer with a parallel port version. Share this post Link to post
