I'm using excel 2000 on my Mac OS X and I can't print out my work sheet.
I go to chooser and my printer is not there! how do you configure a
printer that uses USB?

Mike,

That is an operating system question, not an Excel question. Find a Mac
usergroup and re-post your question.

hi,
USB stands for universal serial bus. it is a new way to
connect devices. in order to use it you must have a USB
connector on your PC and the printer must have a USB
connector. then you also have to have a USB cable to plug
into both. if either PC or printer don't have a USB
connector, your out of luck. if they do then all you need
is the driver for the printer. you can get that off the
net usually from the printer manufacture's site.
Windows 2000 and higher suport USB so usually comes with
drivers for plug and play. i am not sure about mac. they
developed fire wire which does about the same as USB.
