Hi all,

I have an older computer that doesn't have any SUB ports. I would like to
install a USB printer so I can print simple things out in RH8. I have a USB
card and I can install it fine but I have several questions:

1. will the usb driver automatically load?

2. how do I get the printer driver loaded and where do I find it, if it
didn't come on the cd that came with the printer?

3. Is there an accepted list of usb printers that work with RH8?

thanks to all,
dave.....
