Q: I hooked up my USB printer to a different USB port, and it installed the driver again. Now my prints don’t dont print—how do I get my printer to work?
A: Any time you insert a USB printer into a USB port other than the one that it was originally installed on, the system thinks it is a new piece of hardware. To fix this, simply delete the old driver for the printer, and locate the newly installed driver and rename it to the name of the original driver. Restart the machine, and the prints will now print to that printer. It may also be necessary to check the Windows printer settings in the Printer Configuration to make sure that it is still pointing to the correct printer driver and that the appropriate APM products are setup to print to it.
