I currently have a scanner atttached to my USB port, which
works perfectly. However, having recently bought a USB
printer, my PC refuses to recognise it.. i have since
bought a 4 port USB hub, which my Pc also refuses to
recognise. Can anyone tell me why this is happening??

Thanks
 
Have you got some kind of mismatch between usb 2.0 and usb1.1

What flavour does the motherboard support, what type of hub did you get, and
what does the printer require ?
Do you have the right usb cables ? USB 2.0 cables are backwards compatible,
but you cant run a usb 2.0 device with a 1.1 cable.

I suppose this may be obvious but check to make sure that that all your usb
controllers are enabled in the bios and visible to windows.

Do you have sp1 and all the updates including the usb update applied ?
