Printer - USB Device Can Run Faster If Connect To 2.0 USB Port
Feb 19, 2006
Every time I turn my printer on, I get the following message: USB device can run faster if you connect to a 2.0 USB port. As I have a lot of USB devices, I purchased a USB hub and have the printer going through it. Everything prints fine, should I swap my devices so the printer runs faster? Will it make a difference?Running XP Home with the following USB devices: scanner, 2 USB printers, memory stick, and keyboard. Keyboard has two USB ports, but same message occurs.
We've had to change our address space and therefore the printer address has changed. I've changed the address on all but one computer. On this particular computer when I try to edit the TCP/IP port I get the message:
"An error occurred during port configuration. Access is denied."
If I try to create a new port I can select that I want it to be a Standard TCP/IP Port and then it tells me:
"Specified port cannot be added. Access is denied."
I got and DOS program that need to print to to network printer. the only way to acces that printer is by IP adress. So, is there a way to redirect an LTP port to an IP printer ?
I have a Canon Scanner. When I want scan something and I click on print then after the document is finished printing and if I want to click print again to print another document then I get an error saying: " The parallel port may be used by another application. Error Code: 0x00060800 " How do I fix this Problem? The Scaner Program is called: CanoCraft CS-P 3.7.
I have a strange issue in that I cannot connect to remote port 25 from windows xp workstations. Some workstations are ok, and this works, some are not. All these workstations are in a windows 2003 domain and all are xp sp2. I've seen this before but not found a solution. All the workstations here have their firewalls enabled with the same configuration via GPO. So all I can think of is that microsoft's crippled tcp/ip stack is responsible for this in some lame attempt to reduce spam or something, but we need this as it stops some legitimate processes from running (for example command line utils and python programs that need to send notification emails.
I just had to put an old USB hub on my system to correct some problems that the USB 2.0 devices were causing.Now I get the old " This device can run faster if you connect it with usb 2.0 connectors etc" Is there any way to stop this message from coming up?
I recently installed windows Xp and SP2. But now when I plug a device into a USB port I don't get the pop up saying "detected new hardware". Also the new device (I pluged in a flash memory drive) doesn't show up when I open "my computer". I think the ports are working cause when I pluged in my iPod and then went into the BIOS the iPOd was listed as an option on the Boot configuration.
plugged new mp3 player into USB port to download, 'new device' panel not showing.Have since 'lost' all usb ports. Printer / web cam / modem not recognised at all via ports. Downloaded fix for autoexe which enabled me to try and reinstall software ( had removed from programs) after gettng '16bit error' but still tells me no connection. Device manager says usb's are ok and programs are still on system but dont appear to have any 'plug and play' automation and usb's not recognising cables have tried to repair from xp disc but not working. Can anyone help with this?
I had a problem trying to connect my Canon Pixma 4000 so that I could access it wireless via our home LAN. I have one laptop(the wife's) attached directly to the router (cable service from Optimum). My laptop is used wirelessly from another part of the home. All was working well, except I could never get the printer to work so that I could use it wirelessly, so I had it plugged in directly to my laptop. Up to this point, it was all ok. I have AVG and ZoneAlarm running on both computers. A friend, (really) was at my home and volunteered to connect the printer so that it would work wirelessly. He is a UNIX administrator, manages a number of pc's too. I thought, "this is great, my own administrator".
To shorten the story, he removed ZA, the computer will not work wirelessly, only works when connected directly to the modem and the printer doesn't work wireless. I called ZA, and they guided me through removing all the "orphans" that were left behind, so that cleared up a problem whereas I could connect to the net, but couldn't get to another url. I did not re-install ZA yet, because I don't want to add anything else into the mix. I will post a HJT log if that is what is needed. I DO NOT care if the printer works wirelessly. I will live with it connected to the back of my computer, BUT, I do want my laptop to work wirelessly so that both me and my Frau can be on-line at the same time. I have been through the IP address checking, all is ok there. If I try to connect via the SYSLINK wireless, I get nothing, even PING ing different sites gets no valid response. Regrettably, I have some tech knowledge, but not enough to figure out this one.
Have an XP box with a shared printer on it. Have setup to allow, network, everyone, anonymous, guest, etc. Anything to let the people print to it without a password. However to do so, all need to connect to the \ipshare first, enter id and password (and admin acct o n the XP box). Then it prints, until they log off then it repeats. I do not want any prompt for a password. With the old NT 4 system there it worked fine. No password. New system and new printer was put in place. Permissions seem right and like I said I tried adding everything to have ti connect without a password. And the last thing I wan tto do is add every single user to that box as an account.
I want to connect Deskjet 340 printer to my laptop.The problem is that the 340 is a parallel printer and the laptop only has USB ports.When I use a parallel to USB printer cord, the laptop won't recognize the connection. It wants to use LPT1, so it can't find the printer.
Have an HP pavilion laptop running Windows XP sp2. My computer crashed a few months ago and I had to reinstall OS per HP tech support (I used the disk that came with the computer). Since then, I have been having some problems. First, tough pad is erratic; cursor jumps around while typing. I am trying to install a new Deskjet printer. I have gone through all the required steps; i.e., load software first, then plug cable in the usb port.
While installing software for printer, I get to the point where it prompts me to connect my usb cable. When I do, I get a message that Windows has malfunctioned and it does not recognize my device. I know I have USB 2.0. My cable is brand new and works fine with the printer on an old computer. I cannot get it to work on my laptop. I am able to connect a scanner and it automatically detects it through usb and also my camcorder is also automatically recognized. Could something be missing since I had to reinstall my OS? I have tried calling HP to get help. I have tried going into bios at startup and I do not see anything in there about USB; I have upgraded BIOS through HP website.
I have an older PC running XP Home that I know only has USB 1.1 ports.
How do I permanently stop the "This USB device can perform faster if you connect it to a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 port. For a list of available ports, click here." balloon pop-up whenever I plug in a USB 2.0 device? This reminder is starting to be as annoying as MS-Office's Clippy or the Windows Search Assistant dog.
I have a problem that came to light when I was trying to reinstall my HP 1200 series printer, namely that there is nothing at all in the Device Manager. Everything apart from printers is working fine.
I'm connecting my iphone to usb and get the "this device can perform faster...." message telling me to disconnect from the current port and connect to a hi speed port I know which is hi speed port, but cant figure out how to disconnect and then reconnect it
I'm a Windows XP SP1 user and I used to have no problem using Bluetooth. I hadn't used it in a while, though, and when I tried to connect my phone to my laptop today, for some reason, I couldn't access My Bluetooth Places. When I tried to explore it, I got the error "path does not exist or is not a directory."
I am getting an error message when attempting to connect my USB cable to my scanner. The error message is Windows could not load the installer for Image. I believe the problem might be with a corrupt file setupapi.log or Windows Image Aquisition. I have two such files and I do not know whether I am supposed to have two or not. Also, I am not sure if I can delete these files and where to get one to replace the two I have deleted.
I just cleared the temp files, and removed some unnecessary programs that load up at bootup Is ther ea program or another way to get my computer up to speed? I have a regular PC for work, and my programs are NOT memory hungry.. and i have 2 gigs of RAM on this
My OS is Windows XP Service Pack 2 and my CPU is 3.2 gig, a memory of 1 gig ddr. I'm trying to look for a software to boot my PC faster. I've tried Microsoft Bootvis but didn't improve the the cold booting and rebooting. Anybody knows what's the best way to improve the performance of my machine.

I bought a new HP printer today. I had a hotfix installed at some point that shutdown and woke up my printer at shutdown and startup. The new printer isn't affected by this hotfix. Does anyone know where I can get this patch?
Two custom PCs with XP Pro at same SP level. PC1 sees printer through switch. PC2 can not see printer. PC2 connects and sees printer when I cable the USB DIRECTLY to the printer instead of going thru a switch. Therefore, I know PC2 can print. Have tried 2 different switches. An A/B data switch and Belkin's 4x1 USB Peripheral Switch F1U401. PC1 works with both switches but PC2 does not.

I have connected 3 new PC's on a P2P network, and connected a HP 4610 Color Laser Printer via a JetDirect 175 print server. On one PC, I can only print from the Administrator account. The other 2 computers work fine. On the one that is having issues, when printing a test page I receive a "Failed to Print" error mesage, and looking in the printer jobs menu, it shows that there was an error printing. The Administrator account can print fine from this machine.
The user accounts are "restricted user" accounts on all 3 computers. All 3 computers are exactly the same type, and all have the latest updates.
After a system crash all printers are gone and when trying to add a printer I get the message: "Operation could not be completed. The print spooler service is not running" After starting the service manually and trying to add a printer I get the message:"Operation could not be completed" and the service is stopped again.I looked at some of the previous answers and related topics (like article nine, and Q324757
