Problems?: Troubleshooting Tips
When I connect a USB 
cable between the printer and 
my computer, the “New 
Hardware Wizard” message did 
not appear.
You may not be using Windows 98 
or 2000.
Make sure Windows 98 or 2000 is running and your computer is connected 
using a USB cable. If you do not have Windows 98 or 2000, you need to use 
a parallel cable.
Your USB cable may not be 
connected properly.
1
Disconnect and then reconnect the USB cable from your printer.
2
Make sure that it is securely attached.
You may not have USB enabled.
1
In Windows 98 or 2000, click 
Start
 
Settings
 
Control Panel
.
2
Double-click the 
System
 icon.
3
Click the 
Device Manager
 tab.
4
Click the plus ( 
+ 
) icon next to the Universal Serial Bus Controller 
option. If you see a USB host controller and a USB root hub listed, USB 
is probably enabled. If you do not see these devices listed, refer to your 
computer’s documentation or contact the manufacturer for more 
information on enabling and setting up USB.
5
If you cannot enable USB, you can always use a parallel cable to 
connect your printer to your computer.
