re: VIA tech updates? Friday, October 24, 2003 at 3:54 pm Posted by Gerry Kroll (1986 messages posted) You need to install the latest motherboard drivers for your system. Get them from the manufacturer of your motherboard or from the chipset manufacturer. USB devices are picky about the sequence in which installation occurs. Be sure to install the printer software before you plug the printer in. It's not a question of the printer recognizing your USB -- it's more along the lines of the computer not knowing how to talk to the hardware or not understanding what the hardware is saying.

The information you need will be listed under System model. Here's the link for the Via chipset drivers. They are usually a universal download, and the program will detect your chipset for you.

Unzip the download to a folder on your drive, or let your zip utility guide you through it, by clicking the downloaded .zip file. This is bullet proof, it will only install/update the necessary files required by your particular system. If you should continue to have any USB related problems, there's also a USB Filter patch available. Try the driver update first.
