Spent the day trying to install a PCI USB2.0 card into the computer I use for the server in Norway. The problem is that we have a HP LaserJet 1022, and after some extended testing, it turned out that if you print using an USB1 connection, one A4 page will take about 30 min to print. Too long. So, I bought a USB2.0 card to plug into the server. Sounds easy enough, right? Nope, of course not. Turned out the server didn’t have enough power to both power the USB and the rest of the system (230W). So, I’m back to the old system with the printer connected directly into the Windows machine, and none of the other computers on the network can print.
