Win 95b, Brother 1440

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win95.general.discussion (More info?)

I would like to know if it is possible to get a Brother
1440 to connecto to a Win95b comp via a USB port. I need
the printer port for another type of printer, and the 1440
that is connected to the computer via the parallel is
still needed as well.
Initial trying/testing tells me that it isn't, but I want
to make sure before I give up and try something else.
Thanks.

Note: USB is not supported under Windows® 95 or Windows NT®4.0

You would be better off with the optional network adapter.

Since USB support is iffy on win95B , you may solve your problem by picking
up a cheap printer switch
