I've connected the printer to one of the USB 2 ports.  Every time I
turn the printer on, a notification appears above the task bar that
states "This device can perform faster...if you connect it to a Hi-
Speed USB 2.0 port."

But it is connected to a USB 2 port!  There are no others available.

Do you have another USB2 device to check in the port?  Can you swap something
else to confirm?

There are MoBos out there that have a mix of USB1 and USB2 ports, so make sure
yours are all definitely USB2.  If you have USB mouse and/or keyboard, swap one
of them to the current printer port, and try the printer in the other port.

Yes, another good idea (shoulda thought of it myself!). I have a USB2
harddrive and when I plug that in, I get no error (I hadn't before
either) but the Device Manager actually reports that it's a USB 2
device (on the properties dialog, Location: Location 0 (USB2.0 Storage
Device)). I get no such notification for the printer (Location:
Location 0).

The machine is one year old and all of the ports are supposed to be
USB2. I have a second PC (7 years old) with USB1 ports and a USB2
card that I bought specifically to address this problem about two
years ago.

Thanks for your help.
