I have a printer that wont install on a workstation. I can install it on any
other workstation in the office and it works fine. I have deleted the
printer/drivers and reobooted, but no luck. I did get an error along the
lines of this, "Unable to install printer. The printer processor......" Any
clue as to what may be causing this? Could it be a bad USB port or root?
 
A bad USB port/s, yes that could be it. Both USB ports on my system
are gone and I use the parallel port for my
Printer. My motherboard is at least five years old though.

There is a busted USB port on their workstation, but if I try it in any other
USB port it will not work. I tried the printer out on another computer and
it works fine. Could there be something wrong with the USB root?
