question re: upgrading to USB 2.0 from 1.1 on an inspiron 8200.

Question

I have a printer that would work best with a USB 2.0, which I don't have.  I get a computer popup message saying that a Hi-Speed USB Host Controller added would help.  I am interested in the simplest, most straight forward way to effectively upgrade to USB 2.0 port capability.  Any suggestions?  Thanks!

WinXP SP2 gives drivers only. One needs the USB 2.0 EHCI Controller in addition to WinXP SP 2 to run USB 2.0.    :smileyhappy:   -Mike   Message Edited by Simmerheli on 10-20-2005 09:10 PM
