I have an HP 5600 printer. The USBInfo program recognizes it as a USB2
device, but shows it connected to a USB1 hub in my Dell Desktop. How
do I get it moved to the USB2 hub? I have tried disconnecting both
power and USB cable.
Could it be the cable?

What's the model of your Dell?

USB1 or USB2 will depend on the connector. IOW, if

- Your system has USB2 *but* the device is USB1 then the speed will be USB1
speed

- If your system has USB1 and device is USB2 then the speed will be USB1
speed.

- If the system has USB2 and device is USB2 then you will have USB2 speed.

Do you have the device plugged into a USB hub or direct to your DELL? If it
goes into a USB hub, then that hub is connected to the DELL, then you
probably have a USB1 Hub!
