Did you switch the printer to the other USB port and install as administrator?
This is from the Win 2000 help file:
To install a device
Connect the device to the appropriate port or slot on your computer, according to the device manufacturer's instructions. You may need to start or restart your computer.
Notes
You may require administrative privileges to add and set up a Plug-and-Play device. You need administrative privileges if installing the device requires a user interface or if you experience errors during the installation process. To add and set up a non Plug-and-Play device connected directly to your computer, you must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group. If your computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may also prevent you from completing this procedure.
If an administrator has already loaded the drivers for the device, you can install the device without administrator privileges.
If you need to start or restart your computer, Windows 2000 should detect the device and start the Found New Hardware wizard.
If you need to install a device, such as a sound card, into a slot inside your computer, shut down Windows and turn off the computer. Remove the computer cover and install the device in the appropriate slot. Replace the computer cover, and then turn on the computer.
If your device did not install properly, you may have an older, non-Plug and Play device. For more information about installing a non-Plug and Play device, see Related Topics.
If prompted, follow the instructions on the screen to choose a destination path to install drivers for the device.
If the device is a small computer system interface (SCSI) device, connect it to the SCSI port on your computer according to the device manufacturer's instructions. Restart or turn on your computer.
You need to be sure that the device number for the SCSI device is not used by another SCSI device. To change the device number, see the device manufacturer's instructions.
If the device is a universal serial bus (USB) or IEEE 1394 device, plug it into any USB or IEEE port on your computer. Follow the instructions that appear on your screen.
You do not need to shut down or turn off your computer when you install or plug in a USB or IEEE 1394 device. Although USB and IEEE 1394 are similar technologies, you cannot interchange USB connections with IEEE 1394 connections.
If you are not an administrator or a member of the Administrators group, you can use Run as to perform certain administrator functions. For more information on how to use Run as, see Related Topics.
Configuring devices
When you install a Plug and Play device, Windows 2000 automatically configures the device so it will work properly with the other devices that are installed on your computer. As part of that configuration process, Windows 2000 assigns a unique set of system resources to the device you are installing. These resources can include one or more of the following:
Interrupt request (IRQ) line numbers.
Direct memory access (DMA) channels.
Input/output (I/O) port addresses.
Memory address ranges.
Each resource that is assigned to your device must be unique or the device does not function properly. For Plug and Play devices, Windows 2000 automatically ensures that these resources are configured properly.
Occasionally, two devices require the same resources, resulting in a device conflict. If this occurs, you can manually change the resource settings to be sure that each setting is unique. However, sometimes two devices can be shared, such as interrupts on PCI devices, depending on the drivers and computer.
When you install a non-Plug and Play device, the resource settings for the device are not automatically configured. Depending on the type of device you are installing, you may have to manually configure these settings, which should be supplied in the instruction manual that came with your device.
Generally, you should not change resource settings manually, because when you do so, the settings become fixed, and Windows 2000 will then have less flexibility when allocating resources to other devices. If too many resources become fixed, Windows 2000 may not be able to install new Plug and Play devices.
You can configure devices using the Add/Remove Hardware wizard in Control Panel or the Device Manager.
Important
Changing resource settings improperly can disable your hardware and cause your computer to malfunction or be inoperable. Resource settings should only be changed if you are certain the new settings do not conflict with other hardware, or if a hardware manufacturer has provided you with specific resource settings for a device.
To uninstall a device
Open Add/Remove Hardware in Control Panel.
Click Next, click Uninstall/Unplug a device, and then click Next.
Click Uninstall a device, and then click Next.
Click the device you want to uninstall, and then click Next.
Follow the instructions that appear on your screen.
When you are done uninstalling, remove the device from the computer.
Notes
You do not normally have to use the Device Manager or the Add/Remove Hardware wizard to uninstall a Plug and Play device. Simply disconnect the Plug and Play device from your computer. You may have to restart your computer. Check the device manufacturer's instructions for more information.
You can also remove a device using the Device Manager.
Uninstalling a device does not remove the device drivers from your computer's hard disk.
If you are not an administrator or a member of the Administrators group, you can use Run as to perform certain administrator functions. For more information on how to use Run as, see Related Topics.
To diagnose device problems
Open Add/Remove Hardware in Control Panel.
Click Next, click Add/Troubleshoot a device, and then click Next. Windows 2000 tries to detect new Plug and Play devices.
Choose the device you want to diagnose and fix, and then click Next.
Follow the instructions on the screen.
Notes
If you cannot find the device in the list, click Add a new device, and then follow the instructions on the screen.
You can also perform some diagnostic tasks, including repairing devices that are not working properly, using the Device Manager. This is recommended only for users who have an expert understanding of devices and device configurations.
If you are not an administrator or a member of the Administrators group, you can use Run as to perform certain administrator functions. For more information on how to use Run as, see Related Topics. |
