Force USB 1.1 through USB 2.0 plug

[Fr33m4n]

I have a printer that is USB only. It runs on USB 2.0 and plugs into a USB 2.0 port. Thing is. I have this app that I'd like to use with the printer, but it only supports USB 1.1 and in fact will cause instant BSOD if I try to use it directly over the USB 2.0 interface. For that reason I was wondering if there is a way to throttle the connection speed to usb 1.1 speed.

TIA

Are you sure?

USB 2.0 is hardware compatible with USB 1.1 and the protocol is the same, if you "pilot" a USB 2.0 at 1.1 speed NO harm can be done, all protocols with same name are downwards compatible.

If you were talking of something that required to run on USB 2.0 and did not work on USB 1.1, I can agree, but it cannot be the other way round.

It could be a problem with your particular hardware or drivers you are using, a conflict with another driver/app is also possible.

If you post info about hardware, application, and OS you are using maybe we can help you.
