It supports both USB 1.1 and 2.0.  Hardware Manager shows controllers for
both.

This box is supposed to have both, so I tried different ports-no luck. 

So I turned off USB 2.0 in the BIOS (although it was unclear in the manual
whether this would turn off all USB, or just 2.0.  No luck, but at that
point in the box with output ports, a new one showed up. This one was
titled "Prolific_IEEE_1284_Controller_1".  And while the USB output I had
been using had nothing in Properties/Advanced/View Device, this one had
MFG:Prolific Technology Inc.;MDL:IEEE-1284 Controller;DES:Prolific
IEEE-1284 Controller;CLS:PRINTER.  However, using this port still showed
the printer unattached, trying each physical port.

I then turned USB 2.0 back on in the BIOS, and the extra USB output device
still showed, but still unattached.
