    New Printer- Needs High Speed USB?

    I have installed an HP Photosmart 8250 printer, and keep getting a message saying that this device will work slower as it needs a high speed USB.
    I am not sure exactly what I am supposed to buy, could someone point me in the right direction please?

    if the printer works ok, then that is just telling you if you plug it into a USB v2.0 port then it will work faster, if it is plugged into a hub, try connecting it straight to the computers USB port

    if you want it to work faster and you do not have a usb 2 socket, you could get one of these: http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?...b%202&doy=14m2 (for pc) or one of these: http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?...b%202&doy=14m2 for laptops

    Hope this helps,
    Mike
