Used to work fine...now I am receving a "specified port unknown" error, and it says hardware installation failed. I used to have an option under my printer preferences for picking a USB port...now I don't. And I don't have the option to add a USB port either, only thing there is to add "local port" or "tcp/ip port". Where did all my usb ports for printer devices go, and how can I get them back???    Follow Ups:   Re: USB printer detected, but "specified port unknown", won't print Bill D.   Posted at: 06/20/02 (2)   Re: USB printer detected, but "specified port unknown", won't print fox1966   Posted at: 06/20/02 (1)   Re: USB printer detected, but "specified port unknown", won't print Bill D.   Posted at: 06/20/02 (0) Post a Followup Name: E-Mail: Subject: Message to Post : Hi, I have plugged a Canon USB printer into my USB ports, after using it through the parallel port for awhile.
