With USB port Windows does not load driver.

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

Windows recognizes my CD/DVD printer when I plug and unplug the USB cable.
However, windows does not open the wizard to find it and enter to the device
manager. When I scan for device changes no changes occur. I have turned off
the computer, unplugged the USB cable, but when I start over, it does not
recognize any changes.

Thanks, Stephen

Sharon, thank you for your response. The printer driver is not recognized.
Drive E loads the application just fine. I can find the printer driver file
on drive E but is it not being addressed or loaded into USB in Device
Manager. I have looked at the properties of the drives. I want to have the
USB port recognize when a new device is installed to invoke the wizard to
install the print drive.

insert your Printer Disk into your CD Drive and INSTALL the printer
Drivers and Software , BEFORE YOU PLUG the printer into the computer !!!
You must install the software Before Hooking up the printer
