Does the drive work after Windows recognizes it? Is it listed in My
Computer or Disk Management? If yes, right click on the device in either of
those locations to access the drive properties.

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.

It sounds like you need to talk to tech support for this hardware device.
Or find an updated driver for it.
