what is the problem?
When I connect a USB cable between the printer and my computer, an “Unknown Device” message appears.
If you are using Windows 2000, the “Unknown Device” message does not mean that there is a problem. However, if you are using Windows 98, Me, or XP, the “Unknown Device” message does mean that there is a problem. Use the troubleshooting steps below.
