Associating USB device with generic print driver (Virtual USB printer port)
I have Vista problem. I need to know how to associate a USB device with a Generic Print driver on a Virtual USB port. In XP (been using for years) it allow you to go through the step of connecting the device to the generic driver. Vista on the other hand does not seem to allow that, it wants a driver. If I remember correctly on XP you create the virtual USB printer port, then when the device is pluged in to the USB the allows you to associate it with the Virtual USB printer port. This does not seem to happen with Vista.  -- mindy1701 Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com

Associating USB device with generic print driver (Virtual USB printer port)
Does the USB port get created when you plug in the device?
It works generally the same as XP. You will need to open the printer properties As administrator to set the port to the plug and play created USB port. -- Alan Morris Windows Printing Team Search the Microsoft Knowledge Base he http://support.microsoft.com/search/?adv=1 This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
