Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Hardware / September 2007USB 2.0 pop-up when starting printer
Whenever I turn on my printer, Vista pops up a message that it can look for a faster connection. I do not have a faster connection. How can I stop this? There is no "do not show me this" box to check off. Is it possible your printer is plugged into a USB1 port, not USB2? Any USB ports you have on your keyboard or monitor may not be USB2. Similarly, if you have a USB hub, that may only be USB1 too. It's best to always go for the ports on the back of your computer for things like printers that'll be permanently connected. Unless your motherboard is quite old these will almost certainly be USB2. > Whenever I turn on my printer, Vista pops up a message that it can look > for a > faster connection.

Yea, I use a KVM that has only USB 1.1 so get the same issue with my printer as it is connected to the KVM. To make the annoying message go away go to device manager and select any usb hub, right click it and select properties, go to advanced and check the box that says "don't tell me about USB errors", click ok and you will nmo longer see that message. Selecting any USB hub will apply to all USB hubs so you only need to do that once. I don't notice any printing speed difference between USB 1.1 and 2.0 anyway. Actually, I just had to uncheck the box that said "tell me if a device can perform faster", but thanks for steering me in the right directio. > > I only have USB1 ports. I know they are slower.
