Usb001 port missing
Last response: in Windows 7
I cannot install new printer Epson sx218 as laptop will not recognise printer after software installed via disc. Printer not recognised message keeps coming up. Tried downloading new drivers but same problem. Epson support said I needed USB001 port which was not listed, and blamed my HP notebook. I am running Windows 7 on 64 bit, but tried it on another laptop running Windows 7 32 bit and same problem - printer not recognised" and no USB001 port listed, so cannot be a pc fault. I am not technically adept, but surely this problem can be easily solved! ![:(]( ":(")

Try going to device manager and remove all USB from the list. Unplug all the USB devices as well...then reboot. Insert DVD then plug in the Epson printer.Another option would be to just by a USB print server. Let me know if either works.
Got talked through the above by Epson Support, still no change. Sorry, what is a USB print server?
PS. Printer has been returned. Now need to know what is a 'compatible' printer to buy!?
That's too bad. Well, about the print server, I've never used one myself. But here is an Amazon link...

From my understanding, basically it will connect to your printer via USB on the printer side and either be wireless or Ethernet on the otherside; giving your printer an IP address.
