Hello,

I'm currently running a "server" (hahaha) on an old Celeron with Windows 2000. It has 2 USB Ports but it won't let me install the printer properly. Is there some kind of USB Printer Support or something that I need to get first?

I've installed the printer on my newer machine no problem with windows 2000 - its just this one...

any ideas?
 
Is there all OK in Device manager? Perhaps there are drivers for USB needed, are they installed?
There are PCI USB cards, this can be a solution and you will get USB 2.0 instead of older and slower USB 1.1.
