USB printers connected to hub show under one icon
Hello all,
Just wondering if anyone else has this "problem." I say this because all my printers work, but aren't separated into individual icons on the Devices and Printers page.
I have five printing devices (Brother MFC-8220, Cannon iP4300, two Brother QL-500s, and a DYMO 400 Turbo) all connected to an external D-Link DUB-H7 USB hub. All these printers are showing up as one icon in the Devices and Printers section. I can right-click on the icon and every option from "see what's printing" to "delete print queue" allows me to chose which of the five printers I want to look at. Is there any way to separate out these printers into five different icons?
When I remove a device from the external hub and attach it directly to a USB on my computer, I get a new icon on the Devices and Printers page labeled as the device I just re-connected. However, the actual information and settings is still contained in the first icon. The new icon shows a troubleshooting message.
Don't know what's going on here, but it seems like a problem that's related to the way windows in "seeing" the devices connected to my external USB hub.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
