I didn't think the 2350 had any 2.0 ports? Open the Windows Device Manager and see if you have an entry under USB for "enhanced controller". If you do not have this then you only have 1.1 ports.
However, USB 2.0 devices are supposed to be backward compatible with 1.1 ports, just will transfer data at the slower 1.1. speed. You will get an alert message that you have a 2.0 device connected to a 1.1 port and something to the effect for maximum performance you should connect it to a 2.0 port.
As far as the new printer, what order did you install it? You must install the driver software first and then ONLY when the printer's installation program tells you then physicaly connect the printer. If you connect the printer first, either it will fail (usually) or Windows could install incorrect drivers and in that case it won't work properly either.
